Ugarte, MD, has been 

appointed as a member of 

the Health Care Quality 

and Outcomes Committee 

of the Society for Surgery

Landoll Listed In Top 50 Kansans To Know 

(Editor’s Note: Don Landoll 

of Marysville and President of 

Landoll Corp. was listed in 

Ingram’s Magazine of Kansas 

City as one of the top 50 

Kansans to know.) 

Here is their write up: 

Don Landoll, Landoll Corp.,

Ingram’s Magazine 

January 2011 issue 

Maybe the best way to 

describe what Don Landoll has 

built is with a rough math equation: 

Vision plus determination 

squared, times 48 years of persistence, 

equals the Landoll 

Corp. >From a humble welding 

repair shop he co-founded in 

1963 with a grand total of one 

additional employee, Don 

Landoll has built a multimillion-dollar 

presence in 

Marysville, Kan., and today has 

more than 500 people on the 

payroll. 

Not bad for someone who 

broke into business ownership 

before he was 20 years old, 

with no formal business educa- 

By Jon A. Brake 

It isn’t every day that a freshman 

gets to play on Friday 

night. And it isn't every day that 

a Coach has to put a freshman 

in at quarterback late in a close 

game. 

It’s hard on coaches and fans. 

But sometimes it is the only 

thing you can do. 

Friday night the Valley 

Heights Mustangs had a nail 

bitter going with the Republic 

County Buffalos. 

The first half was Valley 

Heights moving the ball this 

way and then Republic County 

moving the ball that way. 

In the First Quarter the 

Buffalos were moving the ball 

on the ground and then the sky 

opened (and the Valley Heights 

line) and Kyle Strutt ran for 29 

yard run around left end to 

score. Score Valley Heights 0 - 

Republic County 6. 

Second Quarter scoring 

belonged to Valley Heights. VH 

Quarterback Derek Trimble 

started with the ball but fumbled 

the ball and Gage 

Woodyard caught the ball in 

mid air and ran 16 yards for the 

General Surgery at the 

University of Chicago, and 

Assistant Professor of 

Surgery at the Chicago 

Medical School. He trained 

in thoracic, cardiovascular 

and laparoscopic surgery at 

tion. “From the beginning,” 

Landoll says, “we had the idea 

we wanted to design and manufacture 

things of our own.” And 

did they ever. If a job involves 

more muscle than one man can 

apply, Landoll probably makes 

the machine that can handle it. 

His company designs and manufactures 

products for agriculture, 

transportation, material 

handling, original equipment 

manufacture and military applications. 

He built his company by recognizing 

the need to diversify; 

seasonal applications of its initial 

farm implements couldn’t 

sustain revenues year-round. 

Landoll moved into trailer 

design, towing equipment, airplane 

deicers, wreckers, forklifts 

and more over the next two 

decades. In 1998, Ernst & 

Young recognized his achievements 

by presenting him the 

state’s Master Entrepreneur of 

The Year Award, and the company 

was the Governor’s 

Exporter of the Year in 2001. 

score. Cole Maddox took the 

ball up the middle for 2-extra 

points. Score Valley Heights 8 - 


At the start of the Third 

Quarter Valley Heights could 

not move the ball. On forth 

down Valley Heights had the 

snap go over the head of the 

punter. He was only able to 

pick the ball up before getting 

hit. Republic County was able 

to move the ball from the VH 

25 yard line and Kalen 

Cromwell scored on a one yard 

plunge. Valley Heights again 

held on the extra point. Score 

Valley Heights 8 - Republic 

County 12. 

And then the rains came 

about half way through the 

quarter and the game was put 

on hold for the next hour. 

After the time in the locker 

room it was a different game 

for Valley Heights. 

Heights Sophomore 

Quarterback Derek Trimble 

was knocked out of the game. 

What to do? Coach Tony 

Trimble went to his second 

string quarterback Freshman 

Gage Woodyard. Woodyard 

Dr. Fernado Ugarte 

the University of Chicago. 

He performed his residency 

at General Surgery Upstate 

Medical Center in Syracuse, 

NY, and General Surgery 

University of Chicago in 

Chicago, IL. 

started the game at Wide 

Receiver. 

Valley Heights started the 

Forth Quarter scoring with a 

Cole Maddox 58 yard run up 

the middle. Extra point was no 

good. Score Valley Heights 14 - 


Republic County came back 

with a 65 yard pass from Kalen 

Cromwell to Kyle Strutt. Again 

the extra point was no good. 

Score Valley Heights 14 - 


Coach Trimble said he liked 

the way his players fought back 

all evening. He was proud of 

his players. 

Down by 4 point late, the 

Freshman took over. Woodyard 

handed the ball off to Maddox 

and MarE Whitson several time 

and were moving the ball on the 

ground. Trimble said I don’t 

think they were thinking about 

us passing with a Freshmen 

Quarterback. But, that's what 

Valley Height did. Woodyard 

hit Freshman Elijah Smith on a 

play action pass for 28 yards. 

With 22 seconds to go in the 

game Woodyard took the ball 

over center for a 1 yard touch-

KansasReporter 

TOPEKA — Fixing Kansas' 

underfunded state pension system 

will take far more money 

than previously thought, members 

of a panel formed to recommend 

those changes are 

finding. 

Tougher accounting rules 

expected next year will force 

CA. It was a casual, come-byand-visit 

occasion, hosted by 

Don and Edie Bartz and Dan 

Liz and Mel Bartz 

Construction is well underway 

and slated to finish in mid- 

October. Stop by and experience 

it when you can (blue and 

white up-lights make for a dramatic 

night-time scene too). 

Previous plans were to have 

Kansas Pension Gap May More Than Double 

the Kansas Public Employees 

Retirement System, or KPERS, 

to raise its current $8.3 billion 

projected shortfall in meeting 

long-term pension obligations 

over the next 30 years, David 

Draine, a senior researcher at 

the Pew Center on the States, a 

Washington, D.C., public policy 

think tank, told the panel at 

its first full day of information

"Mom" 

By Kathy Harris 

You started your day by feeding the birds. 

You ended each day with "Amen" the last word. 

We miss your laugh and talking on the phone. 

You worried about us though you were alone. 

We think of you often and wanted to say: 

The 18th belongs to you Mom- "Happy Birthday." 

Love and Miss You Always, 

Linda, Kathy and Arlen, Sondra and Mark 

and families 

and Daphne Bartz, their sons 

and daughters-in-law. Mel & 

Liz have seven grandchildren: 

gathering last week. 

The shortfall won't affect the 

pensions that 73,000 retired 

teachers and state and local 

government workers receive 

now or promises made to an 

estimated 161,000 workers on 

the job now, KPERS officials 

and outside observers generally 

agree. But closing a gap that is 

approximately two and a half 

times the state's current annual 

tax revenue could make a big 

difference in what future 

employees receive. 

New legislation that Kansas 

lawmakers passed requiring 

both taxpayers and government 

workers to make larger contributions 

to the plan will help 

pare some of that deficit, said 

state Sen. Jeff King, R- 

Independence, who co-chairs 

the 13-member KPERS Study 

Commission that must recommend 

a permanent fix to legislators 

in January. 

That legislation at best may 

cover only about half the projected 

possible $20 billion 

newly calculated shortfall, 

King said Wednesday. 

Commission members don't 

yet know what the full shortfall 

will be when the new accounting 

rules are applied, he said, 

"but trust me, we are going to 

be very mindful of all the different 

calculations going forward." 

New accounting rules proposed

Huntington Beach, CA HS and

Governmental Accounting 

Standards Board essentially 

require government agencies to 

presume for planning purposes 

that the state can only count on 

existing assets and future contributions 

to generate the longterm 

8 percent annual investment 

returns that KPERS and 

many other state pensions now 

plan on to set investment targets. 

Pensions in real life often 

vary from those presumed 

returns in the short run. 

KPERS' $13 billion investment 

portfolio, for instance, earned a 

13 percent return in calendar 

2010 and, as of mid-July, at 

least, was on track to earning 

22 percent in 2011, its actuaries, 

Cavanaugh Macdonald 

Consulting LLC, reported. But 

the system also lost 22 percent 

when financial markets crashed 

in 2008, which requires a 43 

percent gain to recoup losses. 

Overall, the debate over rate 

of return assumptions remains 

a contested issue, and while 

Pew has taken no position on 

what assumptions states should 

use, Draine said using the 

Treasury rate would push 

Kansas' projected $8.3 billion 

shortfall "all the way to $20.2 

billion.,"

Lawns In Shade 

By Michael Vogt 


Agent 

I am often asked, “What’s 

the best shade grass for 

Kansas?” The answer is simple 

but requires explanation. 

Tall fescue is the best shade 

grass for Kansas. That does not 

mean that tall fescue is a super 

shade grass. True fine leaf fescues 

such as sheep’s fescue, 

hard fescue, and creeping red 

fescue are actually better adapted 

to shade than tall fescue, but 

they have difficulty surviving 

Kansas summers. 

It might be better to say that 

tall fescue is the best shade 

grass adapted to Kansas conditions. 

But large trees that produce 

deep shade will not allow 

tall fescue to survive over the 

long term. I say “over the long 

term” because fall-planted 

cool-season grasses will often 

do well under shade trees 

through the fall and spring 

when there is less leaf cover 

and growing conditions are better 

(cooler and moister) than in 

the summer. I often see people 


Blue Rapids Auto & Hardware 

NAPA Auto Parts 

Do It Best Hardware 

Hunting & Fishing Licenses 

Hydraulic Hoses • Saw Chains 

Corn Stoves • Ammunition 

Infrared Heaters 

plant tall fescue in the shade 

each fall and then wonder what 

happens the following summer. 

The answer is stress from multiple 

fronts. Sunlight that passes 

through the leaves of trees 

has had most of the “good” 

light that drives photosynthesis 

stripped out. The grass struggles 

to make the food it needs 

for survival and growth. When 

this poor diet is combined with 

the additional stresses of 

drought and heat, tall fescue is 

unable to survive. 

For those who insist on continuing 

to try to grow grass in 

shade, go with a much lighter 

seeding rate. Where we usually 

recommend 6 to 8 lbs of fescue 

seed per 1,000 sq ft, shady 

areas should be planted to1/2 

that rate, 3 to 4 labs per 1,000 

sq ft. The decreased light levels 

will not support a thick, plush 

lawn. Tall Fescue planted at 

this ½ rate will survive longer. 

Think about it, it is only logical 

that less light will not support 

more plants. The turf will be 

thinner, but it will be much 

healthier at the lighter seeding 

10 Public Square, Blue Rapids, Kansas 66411 

785-363-7384 

rate. But this will work only if 

the shade is not too deep. 

So what should you do if you 

have too much shade for your 

turf? You have four choices. 

Reduce the shade by pruning 

up the lower branches of your 

trees so more early and late sun 

reaches the turf. This is not 

practical with many trees 

because it can destroy the 

desired shape. A second option 

is to plant a groundcover that is 

well adapted to shady sites 

such as periwinkle or English 

ivy. Other plant possibilities 

include the Astilbe, ajuga, 

bergenia, bishop’s weed, bleeding 

heart, coral bells, hardy 

fern, hellebore, hosta, lily of 

the valley, liriope, and/or primrose. 

These are but a few of the 

shade tolerant plants that you 

could plant. Another solution 

would be to mulch the area 

under the tree. 

If you have any questions 

about growing grass in shade, 

please do not hesitate to contact 

me at (785) 562-3531, or Email 

me at mvogt@ksu.edu.

There’s No Place L ike H om e 

Chapter 4 

The Great 

Depression 

Last Chapter: Jack and Mollie are surprised 

to find themselves transformed into Indians in 

a Kansa village during the 1620s. Finding 3- 

D looking glasses in leather cases, they put 

them on and are immediately sent back to 

2011 as themselves, and, off to their right, 

sets the time machine. Taking the glasses off 

puts them back in the Indian village as 

Indians, with the time machine nowhere in 

sight. 

They stood on an empty road that looked 

like it stretched on forever. Overhead, the sun 

was a pale ghost in a hazy sky and small 

whirlwinds of dust skittered across the road 

and out into barren 

fields. 

“I don’t know 

where we are, but it’s 

not home,” Mollie 

said. 

“I don’t know 

either.” Jack raised a 

ragged shirtsleeve and 

wiped sweat from his 

forehead. “But I know 

it’s hot and we’re not 

Indians anymore.” 

“And you’re right 

in style.” Mollie 

pointed at his jeans 

ragged and full of 

holes. “The older kids 

buy them new that 

way, but no one would 

buy this dress.” She 

looked down at her 

knee-length faded blue 

print, patched in several places, and back 

again at Jack. “Looks like we’re poor.” 

“Not much different than home,” Jack 

said. “But that’ll change when we get back.” 

Suddenly they remembered the glasses 

and both checked their pockets. They were 

empty. 

Now a shadow fell across them and they 

looked to see a cloud cover the sun and a dark 

mass rising up on the horizon. Jack felt his 

heart leap with fear as Mollie cried, “It’s a 

tornado!” 

A gush of wind whipped around them, 

showering them with dust and sandy grit. 

“Just in case, we’d better lie down in that 

By Eunice Boeve 

Illustrated by Michelle Meade 

ditch,” Jack said. “I’ve heard you’re supposed 

to do that if a tornado catches you out in the 

open.” 

A horn blared just as they started for the 

ditch. They swung around, squinting through 

the blowing dust, to see an old black truck pull 

up and stop beside them. The door opened and 

a woman jumped out. “Get in!” she yelled. 

“There’s a dust storm coming!” 

They filled the front seat of the truck. 

“Like sardines in a can,” the man said 

and then fell silent as the storm battered the 

truck, shaking and rocking it as dirt and dust 

sifted into the cab, making them cough. 

Outside, daylight vanished into darkness and 

soon all they could see of each other were hazy 

outlines. 

Later, Jack told Mollie, he was sure the 

time machine had malfunctioned and they 

were going to suffocate in that truck along with 

those strangers, and never see home again. 

“We’re lucky it only lasted a few hours,” 

the man said when the storm finally passed. 

“They can last for days.” 

As they stepped out of the truck, the twins 

stepped in dirt piled up to the running board. 

When the couple introduced themselves 

as Jim and Mary Clayberg, the twins gave their 

real names and explained that they were 

headed for Liberal where they had relatives 

who would take them in. “Cousins,” Mollie 

said. 

They were amazed that they were given 

the words that in their regular life would be 

lies. “But these words are for this time and this 

place,” Mollie said when they talked about it 

later. “So they’re not really lies.” 

The Claybergs told the twins they had left 

their farm just south of Great Bend. 

“Our crops were smothered in dust,” Mrs. 

Clayberg said. “The government men came 

and took the cattle that could be saved to feed 

the hungry. The others they shot and buried 

where they fell.” 

“I’ve got bad lungs,” Mr. Clayberg said, 

“So we’re heading to California. We’ve heard 

there is work there picking field crops.” 

“Mr. Clayberg can’t take the dust,” his 

wife said. “He can get dust pneumonia and 

folks can die from that.” 

Because they had seen a film at school 

about the Great Depression of the 1930s when 

thousands were hungry and homeless and dust 

storms plagued the Midwest, the twins knew 

they were in that time period, even if they 

didn’t know the year. 

The dust storm had blown dirt and dust 

across the road in drifts like snow. Mr. 

Clayberg had to shovel some of it away before 

the truck could plow through and they could 

go on. 

Jack shuddered when he saw the ditch he 

and Mollie thought would protect them. It was 

filled level with dirt and dust. 

When Jack told him what they’d planned 

to do, Mr. Clayberg said, “You’d have died in 

that barrow pit. Covered over and 

suffocated.” 

“Now, Jim.” Mrs. Clayberg put her arm 

around Mollie. “No need to scare the 

children.” 

The cab of the truck was a tight fit, so 

Jack rode in the truck bed high atop the 

Claybergs’ belongings. But even without 

Jack, Mollie had to keep her legs over against 

Mrs. Clayberg’s so Mr. Clayberg could work 

the gearshift sticking up out of the 

floorboards. 

The hot air, blowing through the open 

windows, made Mollie vow never again to 

take their air-conditioning for granted. 

Although in their efforts to save money for the 

time machine, their parents had quit using 

their air-conditioner even on the hottest days. 

She smiled, imagining their faces when she 

and Jack returned and they realized the time 

machine worked and their money worries 

were over. 

They camped at dusk on the open Kansas 

prairie, the locusts setting up a constant din 

and a few fireflies flitting about. The 

Claybergs shared a meal with Jack and Mollie 

of canned beans and tomatoes heated over an 

open fire. 

A little later, a family with six children 

pulled up a few feet away in a battered old 

truck. When no effort was made to build a 

cooking fire, Mrs. Clayberg said, “They’re out 

of food, Jim.” 

Jim Clayberg smiled. “All right, Mary, 

we’ll take some over. It probably won’t hurt 

us to miss a meal or two, anyway.” 

When the Claybergs came back, Mrs. 

Clayberg said, “We think we have it bad, until 

we see starving children.” 

Mrs. Clayberg gave the twins a couple of 

blankets from the truck to sleep on. “We 

should be in Liberal by late morning,” she said 

smiling. 

The twins had not yet found their glasses, 

but when they spread out the blankets, Jack 

noticed a white cotton sack and as soon as he 

picked it up, he knew the glasses were inside. 

Eagerly they put them on, but this time 

the glasses changed nothing. Even when they 

pulled them off and put them on again, they 

were still camping with the Claybergs and the 

time machine was nowhere in sight. 

All night they dreamed about home. By 

the time they reached Liberal, they 

were sick with fear. They were sure the time 

machine was broken and without their 

parents it could not be fixed. As they watched 

the Claybergs’ old truck rumble down the 

street, headed west, their hearts thumped with 

fear.

An initial fraud alert stays on 

your credit report for 90 days. 

When you place this alert on 

your credit report with one 

nationwide consumer reporting 

company, you'll get information 

about ordering one free 

credit report from each of the 

companies. It's prudent to wait 

about a month after your information 

was stolen before you 

order your report. That's 

because suspicious activity 

may not show up right away. 

Once you get your reports, 

review them for suspicious 

activity, like inquiries from 

companies you didn't contact, 

accounts you didn't open, and 

debts on your accounts that you 

can't explain. Check that information 

— like your SSN, 

address(es), name or initials, 

and employers — is correct. 


includes your driver's license or 

other government-issued identification, 

contact the agencies 

that issued the documents and 

follow their procedures to cancel 

a document and get a 

replacement. Ask the agency to 

"flag" your file to keep anyone 

else from getting a license or 

another identification document 

in your name. 

Once you've taken these precautions, 

watch for signs that 

your information is being misused. 

For example, you may 

not get certain bills or other 

mail on time. Follow up with 

creditors if your bills don't 

arrive on time. A missing bill 

could mean an identity thief 

has taken over your account 

and changed your billing 

address to cover his tracks. 

Other signs include: 

receiving credit cards that 

you didn't apply for; 

being denied credit, or being 

offered less favorable credit 

terms, like a high interest rate, 

for no apparent reason; and 

getting calls or letters from 

debt collectors or businesses 

about merchandise or services 

you didn't buy. 

Continue to read your financial 

account statements 

promptly and carefully, and to 

monitor your credit reports 

every few months in the first 

year of the theft, and once a 

year thereafter. For more information 

on getting your credit 

reports free once a year or buying 

additional reports, read 

Your Access to Free Credit 

Reports at 

www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/con 

sumer/credit/cre34.shtm. 

If your information has been 

misused, file a report about 

your identity theft with the 

police, and file a complaint 

with the Federal Trade 

Commission at 

www.ftc.gov/idtheft. Read

Against Identity Theft for

about five miles, to the neighbors

We didn’t have a car then. Spot

Rhythm and Blues, Brews, and BBQ 

Scheduled for Sept 24 at Weaver Hotel 

Mainstreet to Perform on the 

Porch of the Weaver Hotel 

The porch of the Weaver 

Hotel, Waterville, Kansas, will 

combine the sounds of rhythm 

and blues, the scents of BBQ, 

and the taste of brews when it 

hosts Rhythm and Blues, 

Brews, and BBQ on Saturday, 

September 24. The event, 

sponsored by the Marshall 

County Arts Cooperative, the 

Waterville Opera House 

Committee, and the Weaver 

Hotel, features the Manhattanbased 

band, Mainstreet, a high 

energy dance band known for 

their tight vocals and powerful 

horn section. 

“I think the Weaver Hotel is 

the perfect place to host this 

event,” said Sandy Harding, 

one of the hotel’s managers. 

“People can sit on the east 

porch of the hotel and listen to 

an accomplished band while 

enjoying some great food. 

We’ve had such great weather, 

that this will be a fun way to 

spend a night in downtown 

Waterville.” 

Harding encourages people 

to bring lawn chairs or blankets 

for extra seating. 

The event is sponsored by 

three different county groups. 

“This is a really cool collaboration,” 

said Wayne Kruse, the 

arts cooperative’s executive 

director. “Each group is able to 

bring their expertise and experience 

to the table to put together 

this fun night. I hope we fill 

the streets of Waterville for this 

concert.” 

Mainstreet will provide the 

musical entertainment for the 

evening. Mainstreet is a variety 

dance band who plays 

rhythm and blues, rock, blues, 

jazz, and disco. “Something 

for everyone,” Kruse said. 

The band will start playing at 

7:30 p.m. The concert is free. 

Before the band plays, a 

BBQ dinner will be served 

starting at 7:00 p.m.; the 

Waterville Opera House 

Committee will serve a plate of 

BBQ for $7.00. The meal 

includes a BBQ sandwich, 

baked beans, potato salad, and 

cake. Bottles of water and cans 

of soda will be available for 

purchase, too. 

“We are proud of what we’ve 

accomplished with the Weaver 

Hotel,” Harding said. “This is 

a perfect opportunity for folks 

to see the newly renovated 

hotel as well as hear some great 

music. I’m looking forward to 

a fun night.”

Bill Snyder’ Legacy Seen In His Coaching Tree 

Sports Extra 

By Mark Janssen 

Under Bill Snyder, Kansas 

State found a chapter in his 

offensive playbook to have 

every possible type of quarterback 

win games – Chad May, 

to Brian Kavanagh, to Michael 

Bishop and Ell Roberson, to 

Jonathan Beasley. 

And, he found a way to victory 

with a coaching staff that 

was in constant motion as 

Snyder’s personal coaching 

tree branched out to where no 

fewer than six members of his 

staff ended up as head coaches: 

Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Mark 

Mangino (Kansas), Phil 

Bennett (SMU), Dana Dimel 

(Wyoming and Houston), Jim 

Leavitt (South Florida) and Del 

Miller (Missouri State). 

As close friend Jim Colbert 

defined Snyder, “He’s Kansas 

State’s Knute Rockne, for 

sure.” 

Wins From 101-150 (2001- 

2011) 

On players of today knowing 

the details of K-State’s “Futility 

U” past, coach Bill Snyder 

says, “I’m not sure how important 

it is for these players to 

know all the details, but what is 

important is for them to know 

the general story of what it took 

to reach the success that we 

enjoyed in the late-1990s and 

into the 2000s.” 

Part of that success included 

becoming one of two teams in 

college football history to win

would then go on a seven-game 

win streak including a 38-9 win 

at Nebraska, the first win on 

Nebraska soil since 1968, and a 

shocking 35-7 blasting of 

Oklahoma’s No. 1 ranked 

“Dream Team” for the Big 12 

Championship on Dec. 6, 2003, 

at Kansas City’s Arrowhead 

Stadium. 

It was win No. 127, and the 

grandest of all, for Snyder, and 

the history of the school. 

“Kansas State just came out 

and out-played us and outcoached 

us,” said Stoops. 

Only moments after the 11th 

win of the 14-game season, in 

typical Snyder fashion, he said 

while still on the stadium turf, 

“Why did we have to have 

those three losses?” 

K-State won just four games 

in 2004 and just five in 2005. It 

was on Nov. 12, 2005, that K- 

State lost to Nebraska, 27-25. 

The next day he stunned 

Kansas State officials by saying 

he would retire at the end of the 

season. 

The next day after practice, 

Snyder ushered his team and 

staff into the locker room to 

announce: “After Saturday’s 

game (Missouri), I’m going to 

retire.” 

Snyder would admit, “That 

(Nebraska) game may have 

pushed me over the hump to 

retirement.” 

Later Snyder said, “Did a 

light bulb go off signaling it 

was time to retire? No. It was 

an accumulation of things, but 

not one particular thing. Was it 

a year or two earlier than I 

thought it would be? Maybe, 

but I believed it was what was 

best for the program.” 

It was in 1993 that Snyder 

said, “If I have a regret, it 

would be that I have five won- 

Kansas Wins Late 

LAWRENCE, Kan. -Facing 

a 4th-and-goal with 14 seconds 

remaining in the game, sophomore 

quarterback Jordan Webb 

completed a six-yard touchdown 

pass to junior wide 

receiver D.J. Beshears right at 

the goal line to give Kansas a 

thrilling 45-42 victory over 

Northern Illinois in front of 

48,084 fans at Memorial 

Stadium Saturday night. 

With the win, Kansas 

improved to 2-0 on the season, 

posting victories in back-toback 

games for the first time in 

the head coach Turner Gill era. 

Northern Illinois fell to 1-1 on 

the season. 

Webb threw for a career-high 

281 yards and three touchdowns 

in the victory, while 

Beshears recorded career highs 

in receptions, receiving yards, 

touchdowns and kickoff return 

yards. Beshears finished the 

game with seven catches for 70 

yards with two touchdowns 

while adding 197 yards on 

seven kickoff returns and an 

18-yard rush for 285 all-purpose 

yards. Beshears not only 

completed the game-winning 

drive, but he initially set it up 

with a 51-yard kickoff return 

down the left sideline to begin 

the possession at NIU’s 47yard 

line. 

Kansas erased an early 21-7 

deficit by scoring on its final 

two possessions of the first half 

to tie the game at 21 at the 

break. From that point, the contest 

became a back-and-forth 

affair. Each team scored two 

touchdowns in the third quarter, 

tying the game at 28 and 35 

points each. For the contest, 

there were four different ties 

and four lead changes. 

Kansas then took a 35-28 

lead on its next possession with 

a long, sustained drive that took 

5:45 to complete, covering 72 

yards on 14 plays. 

Kansas displayed a very balanced 

offensive attack throughout 

the game with 253 rushing 

yards and 281 yards passing. 

KU’s 534 yards of offense were 

the most in the Turner Gill era. 

Webb had a career day, completing 

21 of his 30 passes.

derful children and they’ve all 

been neglected by me.” 

In his retirement, he spent 

time with those kids, plus gave 

reference to them with the 

renaming of KSU Stadium to 

Bill Snyder Family Stadium. 

In the 17 seasons under 

Snyder, K-State won 136 

games; in the 17 seasons prior 

to Snyder, K-State had lost 139 

games. 

Snyder spent three years – 

2006-2008 – in retirement 

before returning to the sidelines 

in 2009, in his words, “… to 

smooth the waters” of the K- 

State fan base. 

His coaching style didn’t 

change a bit as Snyder turned 

70, and then 71, during the last 

two years. The long hours continued, 

as did the attention to 

detail. 

“There are things to do every 

day that do not get done. I've 

never had a day in my life 

where I went to bed thinking I 

got everything accomplished,” 

said Snyder. “There are just so 

many things to do. The list 

grows faster than I can chip 

away at it. There's not a day 

that goes by where you don't 

find something that is not in 

place that should be in place.”

You remember the game. 

Kansas State stunned the No. 1ranked 

Oklahoma Sooners for 

the Big 12 Championship in 

Kansas City’s Arrowhead

title since Lynn 

“Pappy” Waldorf’s group won 

the Big 6 in 1934. 

2. K-State 20, North Texas 

17, Sept. 30, 1989 

The dreadful streak had to 

end someday, and this was the 

day on the last play of the game 

when Carl Straw passed to 

Frank Hernandez for the gamewinner. 

The contest came four 

games into the Bill Snyder Era 

and ended streaks of futility – 

16 losses in a row and 30 consecutive 

non-winning 

Saturdays (0-29-1). 

3. K-State 40, Nebraska 30, 

Nov. 14, 1998 

The Wildcat win snapped a 

29-game losing streak to 

Nebraska, but it wasn’t an 

upset. K-State entered the game 

ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll and 

No. 1 in the USA Today listing 

and it was the 18th straight win 

for the purple and white. The 

game against the No. 11 

Huskers was viewed by a thenstadium 

record 44,298 fans at 

KSU Stadium. Michael Bishop 

passed for 306 yards and 

rushed for another 140 

accounting for three touchdowns. 

4. K-State 35, Syracuse 18, 

Dec. 31, 1997 

It was Michael Bishop’s 

finest hour passing for 317 

yards and four touchdowns, 

plus rushing for 77 yards and 

another score in the Fiesta 

Bowl. Darnell McDonald had 

seven catches for 206 yards and

the Cotton Bowl. Beasley, who 

is the only Wildcat quarterback 

to start in two postseason bowl 

wins, accounted for 308 yards 

and three TDs. 

6. K-State 38, Nebraska 9, 

Nov. 15, 2003 

The victory was K-State’s 

first on Nebraska soil since 

1968, plus it clinched a share of 

the Big 12 North title that the 

Wildcats eventually won. It 

also gave the Wildcats consecutive 

wins over the 

Cornhuskers for the first time 

since 1958-59. K-State rolled 

up 561 yards in the victory. 

7. K-State 52, Wyoming 17, 

Dec. 29, 1993 

In the grand scheme of 

things today, it’s just a bowl 

win. But at the time it was K- 

State’s first postseason victory 

and was cheered by an estimated 

22,000, who made the trip to 

Tucson, Ariz., for the Copper 

Bowl. 

8. K-State 41, Kansas 7, 

Oct. 28, 1995 

It was the early stages of 

Snyder’s mastery over the 

Kansas Jayhawks, who entered 

the game ranked No. 6 in the 

nation. The Wildcats had never 

defeated a team ranked higher 

in the polls. Eric Hickson and 

Mike Lawrence each went over 

100 yards and K-State’s “D” 

held KU to 155 yards of total 

offense. 

9. K-State 38, Texas 7, Sept. 

19, 1998 

Ricky Williams, meet the 

Wildcats. The eventual 

Heisman Trophy winner was 

held to just 43 yards rushing on 

25 carries as K-State linebacker 

Jeff Kelly was his worst nightmare 

with 11 tackles, plus an 

interception. The ‘Horns were 

skunked until the final quarter. 

10. K-State 49, Baylor 8, 

Nov. 7, 1998 

Why this one? Well, with the

Texas Downs BYU 17-16 

AUSTIN, Texas - No. 24/21 

Texas (2-0) utilized a multifaceted 

offensive attack and a 

stingy defense to overcome a 

10-point halftime deficit and 

hold on for a 17-16 victory over 

BYU (1-1) before 100,995 

Saturday evening at Darrell K 

Royal-Texas Memorial 

Stadium. 

Texas trailed 13-3 going into 

the half, but the Horns’ Cody 

Johnson ran for touchdowns in 

the third and fourth quarters to 

give the Horns the lead for 

good. The Texas defense limited 

the Cougars to only 67 yards 

of total offense in the second 

half. Texas’ 

cornerback Quandre 

Diggs picked off BYU QB Jake 

Heaps late in the fourth quarter 

to help the Horns preserve the 

win. 

Running back Malcolm 

Brown led the Longhorns’ 

ground attack with 71 yards on 

14 carries. Four Longhorns 

accounted for 123 yards of 

passing, highlighted by Case 

McCoy’s 57 yards (7 of 8). 

Linebacker Emmanuel Acho 

led the Horns with 11 tackles 

(three solo), while linebacker 

Jordan Hicks added 10 tackles 

(five solo). Defensive 

tackle Ashton Dorsey registered 

the lone Texas sack of the 

night and added an additional 

tackle-for-loss. Cornerback 

Carrington Byndom also had 

eight tackles (five solo). 

BYU’s Justin Sorensen booted 

a 30-yard field goal on the 

Cougars’ first series and followed 

with a 33-yard field goal 

to give BYU a 6-0 lead with 

6:45 remaining in the first 

quarter. The Cougars struck 

early in the second quarter 

when Heaps found Ross Apo 

for a 6-yard touchdown pass 

that pushed the BYU lead to 

13-0. 

An Adrian Phillips interception 

at the BYU 25 led to a 

Justin Tucker field goal that put 

the Horns on the board. 

Quarterback David Ash ran for 

9 yards, and with 3rd and 2 

from the BYU 17, Johnson carried 

for five yards and a Texas 

first down. Carries from Brown 

and D.J. Monroe and a threeyard 

pass from McCoy to wide 

receiver John Harris set up

OSU Takes Out Arizona 37-14 

By Wendell Barnhouse |

STILLWATER, Okla. - This 

is about where you would 

expect Oklahoma State to be 

but this is not where they’ve 

always been. 

In 2009, the Cowboys started 

the season ranked in the top 10. 

High expectations were bolstered 

when OSU opened the 

season with a solid victory over 

Georgia. But in Game Two, 

they lost at home to Houston 

and a season of promise ended 

with a disappointing 9-4 

record. 

Like its 27-year-old quarterback, 

Oklahoma State is 

mature. With Arizona in town 

looking to avenge a 26-point 

loss in last year’s Alamo Bowl, 

the ninth-ranked Cowboys (2- 

0) took care of bidness with an

cut the Horns’ deficit to 13-3 

with 1:44 left in the second 

quarter. 

With Ash and McCoy rotating 

at quarterback in relief of 

starter Garrett Gilbert, Texas 

marched 62 yards on its opening 

drive of the third quarter - 

all on the ground - and Johnson 

plunged into the end zone from 

one yard out to cut the BYU 

lead to 13-10. Brown ran for 

four yards before Monroe 

scampered down the left flat 

for 26 yards. Brown carried for 

11 and 7 yards, respectively, 

and Monroe ran for another 13 

yards to set up Johnson’s 

touchdown with 10:46 remaining 

in the third quarter. BYU 

answered with a 32-yard field 

goal from Sorensen that pushed 

the Cougars’ lead to 16-10 with 

4:36 remaining in the third. 

Texas had an opportunity to 

cut into the BYU lead early in 

the fourth quarter, but at 4th 

and 1 from the BYU 13, 

Johnson was stopped for no 

gain. Texas stopped BYU on its 

next possession and drove 52 

impressive 37-14 victory 

Thursday night. 

Coaches say a team makes 

its biggest improvement from 

Game One to Game Two. For 

the Cowboys, the second game 

of the season displayed that 

they improved but there’s still 

plenty of room to get better. 

Mike Gundy had little trouble 

acknowledging a victory before 

listing his team’s shortcomings. 

“In the opener, our decision 

making wasn’t good and we got 

better tonight,” he said. “But 

our kicking game was terrible, 

we set ourselves back with 

penalties in the return game 

and we had too many penalties 

on offense. We had way too 

many penalties to have success 

and be a good football team.” 

The offense continues to 

play fast forward. Quarterback

first down, and consecutive 

BYU penalties set up a 2nd and

Diggs picked off BYU’s Heaps 

for his first career interception 

that effectively sealed the 

interceptions returned for 

touchdowns in the season 

opener Saturday, stewed for 

four days. He completed his 

first 13 passes and was 23 for 

his first 25. Weeden finished

school record (34) for completions 

- for 397 yards and two

Weeden, whose 53 attempts 

also set a school record. “I had 

a long four days. I let my 

offense down in the opener. 

The decisions I made, the mistakes, 

were inexcusable.” 

Weeden’s sizzling start 

helped Oklahoma State jump to
