Gerald Hackney, a bone-crushing fullback, and pint-sized Dana Atkins came within 6 yards OF powering Kansas State to the football upset of the year today. But the Wildcats couldn’t quite make it, losing 20 to IA to Kansas University for their 22d straight Big Seven Conference defeat. Kansas was favored to win by just about any score it cared to, but a record crowd of $4,000 was shocked and frenzied over the proceedings.

Atkins, 155-pound quarter back, played a stellar game.
