Kansas wishboned 467 yards overland in 77 plays, profiting chiefly from a seeond-man "belly" handoff either to running back Laverne Smith, who went 60 yards on the play for the opening score, or right halfback Bill Campfield.

Before the kickoff against Washington State, Kansas halfback Laverne Smith was 406 yards short of the Jayhawk career rushing record. The backs Smith presumably will pass sometime this season remind one that Kansas' football ball of fame is not exactly peopled with no-names. Smith, you see, was 375 yards behind Gale Sayers' 2,675 behind and 406 yards Johnny Riggins' 1 2 706.

Just as Washington .0 State can be proud of the linemen which decorate i its pantheon, of college and professional football like Mel! Hein and Turk tt Edwards, plus a recent A-, i All-America, center I Geoff Reece, who has 4 stuck with the Los 7,1 Angeles Rams, Kansas has had many luminous ill! backs. Laverne Smith promises to become GALE SAYERS another one, speaking Tales of Kansas professionally, because he's almost a cinch first-round choice if there is a draft this winter, When football fans argue about which running back was greatest, at least in the modern era, they're usually arguing over whether it was Jimmy Brown, Sayers or O.J. Simpson. Sayers is now an educational fund director at KU. Kansas also has had some excellent quarterbacks like John Hadl, 1961 graduate who may rival everyone but George Blanda in longevity and Bobby Douglass, the former runnin' quarterback of the Chicago Bears.

i Jim Bausch could 'do it all' Minnesota's Bronko Nagursld, who played both tackle and fullback as a collegian and a pro, is surely the player best known for greatness at more than one position. But around Lawrence they won't let you forget the late Jim Bausch, All-Big Six fullback (and linebacker) in 1929, All-Big Six at halfback in 1930. If that doesn't sound like much of a switch, remember that Bausch was 1932 Olympic decathlon champion. And if you think Jim Thorpe had trouble about his medals, consider Bausch. Upon his return from the Games in Los Angeles, the ones which created the L.A.

Coliseum, Bausch suddenly discovered that his medal wasn't solid gold merely plated. Apparently the medals in previous Olympics had been the pure quill, not too tough since gold was $24 per troy ounce in the 19205 and Bausch complained bitterly that he'd been shorted. It sounded like cupidity at least, maybe even professionalism to the International Olympic Committee, which instructed Bausch to turn his medal in on the presumption that his had become debased in other ways than metallic. Bausch replied that he had been ill-advised, or misinformed, or something. I think they let him keep his medal.

I was living in Kansas at the time, either In knee rants or knickerbockers, and memory fades. The kids in our block played vacant-lot football or borrowed the nearby Washburn College football field in Topeka. It was tackle football with some helmets but no pads. What made Donny so tough? We played everything, whatever was in season. One of my friendly adversaries was Don (then Donny) Pierce, who lived up the block and was a sports nut.

Donny and Dicky Pierce's bedroom was festooned, wallpapered with photographs and clippings. Don was maybe a year or two older than I and seemed a generation bigger and tougher. He could always tackle me with one of those beautiful, rollyou-over, shoulder jobs technically advisable in those days of the soft helmet, or none. I could hardly ever bring down Don in our one-on-one drills in the Washburn end zone. 4 '2 1110 I behind Johnny Riggins' 1 diq VVo a i a.hiaaaa like Meil Hein and Turk Edwards.

A bright spot was the Cougar secondary, which tacided and pass-defended well, doing the latter under considerable pressure since WSU deployed at least nine defenders, usually, against that KU wishbone speed, power and finesse.

It would be more than coincidentally descriptive of the football game to relate that Kansas' clinching touchdown in the early fourth quarter was scored by a Jayhawk offensive tackle, Lindsey Mason, on an end zone fumble recovery after quarterback Nolan Cromwell brought it there. The score was satisfying to a crowd of 39,000 Jayhawk fans: Kansas 35, Washington State 16. But this one produced enough errors, both sides, for four football games. Moved well But Kansas moved so well, especially when Cromwell was taking the snaps, selecting the options, that KU could afford its mistakes. Washington State couldn't.

Cromwell, who gained 98 yards from scrimmage, took the Jayhawits 64 yards in eight plays on that drive that secured it, making 41 of them himself on the wishbone options. Ile got it moving with a 21-yard gallop to the WSU 40, later veered for another 15 to the Cougar five, ran another keeper to the goal, lost the football just out in the field and when they unco. vered the pile, there was Mason on the football, all 260 pounds of him. That wrapped up the scoring but not the excitement. WSU, which had produced the only other touchdown on the second half, on a one-yard dive by Dan Doornink, had closed it to 28-16, had gone for two points and narrowly failed.

Hedrick booms lem Doornink's score was set up by two wizardly punts off the foot of WSU's amazing Gavin Hedrick. Hedrick, wind-aided, had kicked a 52-yarder in the third quarter that bounced out of bounds at the KU two The Cougars failed to score after that big field-position gain, so Hedrick, undismayed, punted a 40-yarder out of bounds on the half-yard line. On the next KU series alternate QB Scott McMichael fumbled and WSU "walk-on" cornerback John Dodds, a Bremerton Junior, recovered at the one. John Hopkins threw a play-action pass to Mike Levenseller, the obvious receiving star of the show, in the corner but the official ruled that Mike had not got a foot down inside the boundary. The Cougars drove upwind early in the fourth to the KU 37, where Doomink lost a fumble; safety Chris Golub recovered, and WSU's last good chance was shattered, Cromwell re-entered and applied the crusher along with the assist from Mason.

Cougs keep trying Later in the fourth, a drive combining Hopkins and Jack Thompson at quarterback, and Levenseller catching drove 79 yards to the KU one, There, what appeared an insecure exchange between Thompson and Doornink created a fumble, a KU recovery and the loss of what LAWRENCE, Kan.

The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Earl broke a 17-17 tie early in the final period with his nine-yard touchdown run that put Washington ahead 24-17. Rowland, a 6-foot-2, 195- pound Junior, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards last year at San Jose City College, scored his second touchdown less than four minutes later on an 18yard run for a 31-17 Husky lead. Freshman Joe Steele's 45yard TD gallop with 6:24 left in the game put the victory out of reach for Virginia. Virginia, which has had only one winning season in its last 23, led twice briefly.

Andy Hitt's seven-yard scoring pass to Billy Copeland gave Virginia a 7-3 first period lead. But Earl's first touchdown on a one-yard run on the first play of the second quarter put the Huskies back on top 10-7. Virginia led again 14-10 on David Sloan's one-yard run three minutes later. But Rowland's five-yard TD run gave Washington a 17-14 halftime lead. Freshman Brian Moreland's 41-yard field goal gave the Huskies a 3-0 lead early in the first period.

Washington appeared headed for another touchdown early in the third period with a first and goal at the Virginia 10. But Husky quarterback Warren Moon lost six yards on first down and his pass intended for Mike Bean was intercepted by Kevin Bowie on the next play. The Huskies got the ball when Virginia punter Russ Henderson faked a punt on fourth down on three from midfield and was tackled on his own 43. Rowland was the workhorse for Washington, packing the ball 24 times before leaving the game midway in the final period. Earl, Washington's leading ground gainer a year ago with 782 yards, carried the ball 15 times Saturday.

Sloan, the Cavaliers' top ground gainer in 1975 with 848 yards, carried 21 times for 87 yards Saturday. Copeland followed with 62 yards on nine carries. Hitt, who played in the shadow of Atlantic Coast Conference total offesne leader Scott Gardner lastf year, completed 14 of 28 passes for 133 yards, including his TD pass to Copeland. Moon, who started the first six games for Washington last year before being replaced by the graduated Chris Rowland, completed five of 13 throws for 72 yards. A Husky Stadium crowd of 37,500 watched the Huskies deal Virginia its 10th straight loss over two seasons.

He had a 25-yarder, followed shortly by a Vandal defensive holding penalty which gave Boise a first down at the seven but Stern never got the handle on the next center snap, fumbled and Rick Su 111- van recovered for Idaho at the five.

On the Broncos' next possession, late in the half following a Vandal punt, Goode had a 24-yard run and took a swing pass for an 18-yard gain to the 11. But on first down, Goode fumbled the ball over the line and Vandal strong safety Barry Hopkins won a fight for the recovery at the six. There had been earlier frustrations too as Boise struggled to get out of its Instant 7-0 hole. Taylor's touchdown return was pretty much a blackboard job, the wedge breaking home open up the middle nicely. He faked down tacklers at the 30, ran away from a couple of other lunges, made it the full 100 untouched but wobbly in 14 seconds flat.

Ralph Lowe nailed the point. Boise, extracated from several holes when Pickett escaped pass-rush pressure, drove quickly to the 13 but on the third down, Rick Linehan tipped Pickett's end zone pass for tight end Steve Woodard and Greg Coman intercepted for Idaho. Robert Brooks fumbled forward nine yards for Egnacio Balinton's recovery at the 29 on the first Vandal play after the interception but after one first down, an illegal receiver downfield penalty foiled the Broncos and Avi Rote missed a 48-yard field goal try. Idaho gave it right back. On the first punt attempt of the season, Paul Cox bobbled the pass from center, tried to escape, eventually chose to pass, a la Garo Yepremian.

He threw it right to Bronco Les McNealy at the 19. And this time, despite two sacks on Pickett, the Broncos got a 40-yarder from Rofe for their first 1976 points. The Vandals matched that, driving from their 33, Tuttle getting key yards on an all-ground drive that reached the Bronco 29. Here, fourth-andfour, they took Lowe's 46- yarder for the 10-3 margin.

The Vandals led all the way, of course, but Boise maintained offensive pre. ssure for three quarters and it was a 10-9 game going into the fourth before number two quarterback Craig Juntunen and Robert Brooks gunned Idaho on a clinching 61-yard touchdown drive. That made it the final 16-9 but there was defense to be played and the Vandals played IL Boise, true to new coach Jim Criner's plan, stuck with veer option runs most of the night, with some success but lots of fumbles--sophomore Fred Goode scampered for big yards but the Broncos lost four fumbles.

And then, after Criner had yielded to the fans' urging to get past champion Greg Stern into the game, the Vandals escaped as soph Rick Linehan broke up a final wing-and-a-prayer from down the middle.

The Jayhawks won the first quarter 1410, then capitalized on two latesecond-period interceptions to score two touchdowns within three minutes and 41 seconds. Wally Bennett, apparently selected by Coach Jackie Sherrill as his "against the wind" quarterback, hopefully to operate the run phases of the offense, threw on thirdand-long from his 15. Kansas was dropped back In zones.

Defensive end Steve Jones intercepted, returned 17 yards to the WSU 15. The defense, which had played excellently all through the second quarter, came back on the field. Cromwell ran wide, faked a pitch, cut upfield and, breaking two tackles along the way, ran it home in one play. With 3:43 left in the half, the extra point made it 21-10. Bennett threw another Interception in the final set- onds before the halftime music.

But it did. I would lie awake at night trying to devise theories about how to tackle Donny. Later, much later, when I was at the University of Missouri, Don Pierce was at Kansas. He made All-Big Six center in 1940. As a grown-up footballer, Pierce never weighed more than 175 pounds, so he must have been tough.

He didn't get that way playing against me. Anyway, It solved a boyhood mystery. His brother Dick was a first-string catcher on the i ICU baseball team. Don Pierce, sometime after his graduation, became sports information director at KU and quite a famous one, who was beloved by the Midwest writers and track writers all over for his nationally-circulated college track newsletter. It was a perfect job for Don, the sports nut from birth.

It ended too soon when Don was killed in an auto wreck, sometime in the 1960s I think, driving a then-hazardous highway to Kansas City.
