Clyde Jones, chairman of the Kansas State University Athletic Council, says he think the school was enough credit for the actions that were in recruiting violations for which the has been placed on probation. Jones, appearing at a news conference Thursday, said Kansas State is disputing these violations at But he said K-State not been operated in a general disregard of NCAA Kansas State was placed on probation for three years in football by the Big Eight Conference three weeks ago.

The NCAA took similar action Wednesday. reference to actions that were included firing last January of Dick Steinberg, an assistant coach who was involved. Jones said, in 11 of the 23 violations cited. Jones referred to the recruiting case of Vince now a University of Kansas halfback, and said that the rules in the case willfully and knowingly but that to his knowledge involvement with Vince was not known by Vince Gibson (head football coach) or any of his Steinberg was fired and refused admission before investigations took place, Jones said. Jones said claimed he was given $15 by a coach but that the coach said he had not given him the money.

might conclude from this that we regularly slip money under the table to our Jones said, that is simply not true. You have to distinguish sharply between the charges filed against the university in the Vince case and the others statement said the school violated rules in the recruitment of one prospect and three incidents were fnvolved: 1. and his family who lived in Bonner Springs, were taken to dinner in Kansas City. The rule says a prospect may be entertained only in his hometown or on campus. 2.

The university had no knowledge of the incident until the charges were Is Tiijige To Play? By DON FORSYTHE Colorado football coach Eddie Crowder is among the many admirers of Nebraska coach Bob Devaney. Monday, speaking to members of the Boulder Buff Club, Crowder called Devaney best coach in He said it was no surprise that the Cornhuskers always seem to play with confidence because Devaney just has a super attitude for coaching.

never Crowder does more than just admire Devaney. This week borrowing an old Devaney psychological weapon in getting the Buffs for the contest with the unbeaten Cornhuskers. had better come out here with everything strapped on Eddie said Monday, going to make It was just four years ago that Devaney sent the same sort of a message to the Rockies with sports information director Don Bryant. There had been a lot of talk that year that Colorado was the team most likely to end three-year reign as Big Eight champion. And the Buffs were openly pointing for Picker Needing the seventh-ranked Cornhuskers.

tell them that going to show up and better have their helmets screwed on Devaney told a startled Bryant. Bryant relayed the message. As promised, Colorado was for it. The Buffs forged a 19-7 first half lead before the Cornhuskers staged one of their greatest comebacks to drive 65 and 63 yards for touchdowns in the final 13 minutes and pull out a 21-19 win. It was the most memorable of the four straight victories the Cornhuskers have scored in Boulder under Devaney.

Nobody in the Nebraska camp expects No. 5 to be easy, despite the fact that Colorado has fallen short of expectations in winning just half of its first six games. is the same team a lot of people thought would win the Big stresses Devaney. it plays without a lot of mistakes it can play with any team in the The Buffs proved it early when they annihilated Penn State, 41-13. Crowder thinks that may have been the undoing of his team.

Bob Devaney No Easy Conquest almost wish we had lost the Penn State game by one he says. played almost a perfect game that day and everybody, the team itself and the coaches included, got the impression we were a better team than we actually were. still have a sound team, but only as long as it plays with great consistency and without mistakes. We strong enough to overcome our mistakes against the kind of competition playing week Eddie Crowder Ready for War after week in the Big Elimination of mistakes has been a big factor in romps past Kansas and Oklahoma State in the last two weeks. The Cornhuskers turned the ball over to the opponents on a fumble or pass interception for two weeks.

Similar success is almost mandatory against the Boffs in the battle which will draw a record 50,000 fans even though it is being regionally telecast. been a sellout since July 17. Nearly 15,000 of the total will be Cornhusker followers, many of whom helped set the old Folsom Field record of 48,327 two years ago. game is a matter of survival for the Buffs, who stand 1-3 in conference play. forced to be content to play a spoiler role, but one which played successfully in the past two seasons.

Last year they handed Missouri its only conference loss, enabling Nebraska to get a share of the title with the Tigers. Two years ago they were the only team to hang a conference defeat on 0 1 championship team. Devaney admits the Colorado game is a big one in the bid for a Big Eight title. we win this one it might be just slightly downhill the of the way. have two of oim last three games at home and that should be he says.

Assist Nebraska wrapped up its Lincoln preparations for Colorado game Thursday amidst some concern for quarterback Jerry Tagge. Tagge suffered a slight groin Injury during the light workout, but has been named to the 47- man travel roster and trainer Paul Schneider anticipates the junior quarterback will be ready for action if needed Saturday.

Van Brownson had been ticketed for the starting job. After the Cornhuskers completed their workout attention shifted to the scrimmage between the varsity and the freshman team. It was the Commando and the red- shirt gang showed early that it was for the big game on its schedule as Randy Curtis scored on a 94-yard pass from Chuck Osberg. Curtis later broke a 12-12 tie with a 70-yard touchdown reception from Osberg and the Commandos went on to win. 3018.

Steve Runty also passed for a pair of touchdowns against the freshman as the varsity performers exploited the inexperienced freshman secondary. He connected with Max Linder on a 95-yard scoring strike and hit fullback Ralph Powell for a 70-yard TD on a screen pass. Randy Butts plunged three yards for the final touchdown. The freshman scored on a three-yard David Humm to Glen Garson pass, a 33-yard Jerry Davis to Randy Borg aerial and a 36-yard run by Iback Don Westbrook. Coach Jim Ross sends his club against a highly-touted Iowa State team next Friday in good to get a jump on your opponent, but Dartmouth coach Bob Blackman probably mind if his Indians save up a few trips into Yale territory for the second half when the two unbeaten Ivy League teams meet at Yale Saturday.

His top placement kicker, Wayne Pirmann, is taking first things first and will play soccer for Dartmouth against Yale in Hanover starting at 11 a.m. Saturday. Then hop in a plane and fly 180 miles to join the football team at Yale. That game starts at 1:30. love says Pirmann, who turned out for only when he di.sc*overed the team needed a kicker.

Hopefully, Wayne will make it and do his part in booting Dartmouth home. The old forecaster needs all the help he can get after a .694 effort last week dropped the season average to .732.

IT' Quarterback Lynn Dickey of Kansas State needs only 98 yards in total offense against the Missouri Tigers here Saturday to establish a Big Eight Conference record in that department. Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. If Dickey gets the 98 yards, he will have a career total of 5,018 more yard than the mark held by Bobby Anderson. Dickey may have one of his best days against the Tigers since Missouri ranks last in the Big Eight in pass defense.

The game will be an important one for both teams. Kansas State is 3-1 in conference play and Missouri 2-1. Neither can afford to lose since Nebraska, the league leader, is 3-0.
