wind at their backs in the fourth quarter Despite a 119-yard rushing day by James King Memphis State still needed a questionable pass interference penalty to get its go-ahead touchdown and end the season with a 6-5 reading Punter Kent Van Vleet one of nine seniors who wrapped up their WSU careers had just gotten off a 38-yard kick best of the day against the wind to put the Tigers in a hole on their own 11-yard line with 7 15 left in the game Memphis State managed one first down on a 16-yard pass from quarterback Kippy Brown to Keith Wright on third down But two plays later the Tigers were again facing third-and-long from their own 30 BROWN WHO PLAYED the entire game in place of injured regular Lloyd Patterson dropped back into the pocket and lofted a long bomb to fleet Ernest Gray Shocker safety Tony Drayton step for step with Gray followed the play and both No 19s went up for the ball at foe WSU 39-yard line Drayton was called for interference and the 40-yard penalty jumped to

with its regulars until the final five minutes of the game Steve Parish a sophomore from Evansville Wis quarterbacked the Wildcats through most of the second half and finished with 144 yards while completing 10 of 18 passes went to him in the second half because the others (Wendell Henrik-son and Dan Manucci) were not getting the job said Rainsberger (See KSU 4G Col 1) carries to become Colorado's No 2 single-season rusher went in from the one-yard line on the first play of the second quarter as Colorado grabbed a 10-0 lead Mayberry replaced Tony Reed of the Kansas City Chiefs as the

no offense at all The Wildcats had only nine yards rushing at the intermission Kansas State penetrated to the Colorado 22-yard line on its first possession before Colorado's gang-tackling did think they (foe players) tried to come back in the second Rainsberger said Defensively the Wildcats kept the Buffaloes at bay in the second half until junior Gary Washington took a pitchout around his right side and raced 72 yards for a touchdown with 13 seconds remaining In the first half though it looked like the Wildcats were ripe to be blown out of the game A 31-yard field goal was all the Buffo could muster from a 63-yard thrust to the KSU 14-yard line But the offense started to roll in the second quarter Tailback-fullback Janies Mayberry who rushed for 174 yards on 40 By BILL HODGE Staff

pressure 10 days ago Before a crowd of 43873 fans who braved a chilly afternoon to see the listless contest Cypher led Colorado to a 17-0 lead in the first half It was foe first start for Cyphers who
