Hawks get set for Colorado

One of the bright spots in the KU football team has been the improved play of the Jayhawk defensive backfield, according to Coach Pepper Rodgers.
"We haven't intercepted many passes." Rodgers said. "But we feel that the defensive backfield is the most improved part of our football team."
Defensive halfback Pat Butler kine is the famini leading tackler on the team and the other halfback. Tom Hall is sixth on the list. Bull has also intercepted two passes.
Rodgers said he was disappointed in the Jayhawks' practice yesterday.
"I can't put my finger on it, but

we just didn't look very good," Rodgers said.
Douglass nears record
If KU's junior quarterback Bob Doudlass continues at his present offense pace, he could become the fifth man in Big Flight history to account for more than 1,500 yards in total offense.
Douglass now has 1,260 yards.
He has picked up over 200 yards in each of the last three games and if he continues at his present pace the EI Right total yardage record is within his reach. The record is 1,749 yards set by Iowa State's Tim Van Galder in 1998.
Doubledess could have trouble with the Colorado pass defense. The Buffalo defenders have intercepted 18 passes, the highest mark in the league. The CU pass defense is lead by senior Charles Greer and senior Dick Anderson. Anderson was selected Big Eight back of the week for his defensive play earlier in the season. Greer is the Big Eight's leading punt returner with 282 yards in 14 attempts.
Colorado's offense features the running and passing of quarterback Bob Anderson and the hard running of Wilmer Cooks and William Harris, Anderson, who is a strong candidate for Big Eight sophomore of the year, took the starting quarterback job away from two-year letterman Dan Kelly early in the year and is now among the Big Eight leaders in rushing, passing, scoring and total offense.
Buffs' offense shines
Cooks has been bothered by injuries most of this season but he will be at full speed against KU. He was the conference's leading scoreer last season and was an all-Big Fight selection. Harris has picked up 364 yards this season in 82 attempts for a 4.3 average.
Another Colorado offensive
threat will be end Monte Huber.
Huber has caught 27 passes, for
324 vards, the third best total in
the league.

Fisher said he doesn't expect to get enough signatures in time to be on the ballot for the November elections and his party plans instead to write in candidates.
"I have the impression that UP would like to see you get on the ballot," Fisher said. "They seem to be worried now that they are the only party left."
Fisher said the party will have an organizational meeting at 7:30 pm. Tuesday in the Kansas Union. Members will discuss the November elections and a permanent party platform.
