CITY STAR SPORTS OUTDOOR RECREATION 4- KANSAS CITY, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1965 SECTION am as K. U. Los 7 THE KANSAS It took only four plays for the Raiders to score, with the tally-coming on a 5-yard toss from Wilson to Anderson, the all-America halfback. Again Bearden added the point. The Raiders used another fine punt return, this one by Griffis for 28 yards, to set up their second field goal.

They took over on the Kansas 34 and drove to the 5 before Bearden booted the 3-pointer with 7:25 left. Linebacker John Carrell gave Texas Tech its opportunity for the final tally when he intercepl-cd a pass by Wally Hinshaw, Continued on Pace 9S to Jerry Shipley, Wilson connected on a swing toss to Donnie Anderson for five yards, but the Jayhawks were penalized to the 14 for piling on. Johnny Agan and Anderson took turns hitting opposite ends to the 1. Then Wilson fumbled the ball into the end zone and Jim Cecil pounced on it for the touchdown. Bob Bearden kicked the extra point.

Following the kick-off and a yard penalty that set them back to their 2, the Jayhawks went to the air again but this time Fenton's heave from the end zone was picked off by Griffis on the 20. and veteran observers here said they had never seen this happen before. Kansas crossed into Texas Tech territory only four times during the game and would not have made it once if it hadnt been for a penalty on the Raiders. Most of the time the Jay-hawks were pinned deep in their end of the field. Their only tally came on a 97-yard pass play from Bill Fenton to Willie Ray Smith, the longest touchdown play in Big Eight annals.

With the ball on the 3, following a Texas Tech punt, Fenton faded into the end zone on the on the Jayhawk 9-yard line early in the second period, Kansas made a bid to add to its lead. The Jayhawks wheeled to the Texas Tech 23, with a 37-yard pass from Fenton to Mike Johnson the big gainer. But the Raiders stopped the bid and a field goal attempt from the 30 by Mike Johnson was short. Texas Tech forged a 17-7 advantage at the intermission by scoring twice in the final 3'i minutes of the second period. The first came after an 18-yard punt return by Guy Griffis gave the Raiders the hall on the K.

Smith, the split end, got behind his defender by a step, gathered the ball in over his shoulder and raced in for the score untouched. Only 25 seconds remained in the opening period and Thurman Edwards booted the extra point.

This put the Jayhawks in front by 7-3 since the Raiders had opened the scoring with 6:53 to go on a 46-yard field goal by Kenneth Gill, capping a drive that started on the Tech 23. After a fumble by Mike Lcin-ert and recovery by K. U.s Ken Johnson stopped a Raider threat maining on the clock. Then he went to Coach Jack Mitchell of the Jay hawks, who didn't hesitate in waving his players to the dressing room. Despite the two heavy bursts of rain and a continuing drizzle throughout, the majority of the 35,300 fans remained until a couple of minutes before the end.

Those in the stadium were alerted to the tornado possibilities a few minutes before Civil Defense sirens started wailing. Then many started leaving. Water was standing on the field when the game was called By Bill Sims Ass'sat Sports Editor of The Star) Lubbock, Texas The University of Kansas Jay-hawks were victimized by a couple of Texas tornadoes last night, one representing Texas Tech and the other the real thing in miserable weather. The score was 26-7 in favor of the Red Raiders, but the Jay-hawks didnt have a full opportunity to rome from behind since the game was called off by mutual agreement after only 56 seconds had elapsed in the fourth quarter. Tornadoes were reported skipping around Lubbock within 10 miles and one actually was seen on the ground.

Coupled with two typical Texas cloudbursts, one that started 10 minutes before the game and the other that opened up in the third period, conditions prevented either club from operating at its best. 1 Referee Harold Matthews called J.

With 6:27 left, the Tigers had It fourth-and-goal on the Kentucky 2. They had driven 88 yards, 22 plays worth. Now the whole thing hinged on one play.

Coach Dan Devine inserted Johnny Roland at left half, and put Russell Washington in at end. These were his situation men.

Snell tried a third time, picking up a yard, then yielded to a Jerry Mays charge for a fourth-down loss of one. Jim Turner gave New York an early lead when he booted a 19-yard field goal in the first quarter. It was set up by a pass interference penalty against the Chiefs, nullifying a 48-yard interception return by Bobby Hunt.

Snell took rushing honors with 32 yards in 19 takes. Curtis Mc-Clinton and Mack Iee Hill, consistently grinding out yardage, led the Chiefs with 65 and 52. respectively. Following the late Namath scare, McClinton carried four times for 22 yards as the Chiefs held possession and finished the game on the New York 40. Burford showed his acrobatic ability in taking Dawsons second touchdown toss, tumbling as he snagged the ball in the left corner of the end zone.
