Scanning the Big 8
KU uses Don Shanklin for quick kicks and for short punts, which is called a "squib." Explaining, Coach Pepper Rodgers says: "We don't necessarily look for a good kicker to do it. We look for a good athlete."

"It looked as though we weren't prepared for prosperity and KU wasn't prepared for poverty," was the way Oklahoma State's Phil Cutchin summed up his team's 26-15 loss to the Jayhawks after the Cowboys rode to a 15-0 first quarter lead.

Does KU's John Zook, last week's national lineman of the week, get as frightened on the football field as he does in the air? "Naw," he states. "There's always a certain apprehension when you jump. I suppose you could die. You can't die with a bunch of blockers coming at you—although, sometimes I wonder." Zook is a veteran of 54 parachute jumps.
The crowd of 65,766 which viewed the Colorado-Nebraska game in Lincoln last Saturday was the biggest to ever watch a Big Eight Conference game. The season's attendance now stands at 693,244, an average of 36,487 per game, which is off last year's record attendance by about 4,000.

However, 19 more home dates still remain, with 14 of them coming at Colorado, KU, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, all with stadiums seating over 50,000. If average marks for this year are maintained, well over 825,000 can be expected to attend the remaining 19 games.

"That Douglass," stated Oklahoma State's Phil Cutchin, referring to KU's quarterback who gained 253 yards against the Cowboys, "he locked like a genuine stallion to me." Douglass won "Big Eight Back of the Week" honors for his performance.
Oklahoma's Bob Warmack has guided the Sooners to a long touchdown drive the first time they have had the ball in each of the first four games. In all, Warmack has been at the helm for 13 TD's by the Sooners, 11 of them coming from 70 or more yards away.

By picking three out of four right last week, the Kansan sports desk upped its season record to 13 out of 20. Not bad, I must add, for a group of amateurs.

“You don't have to be told when the Big Eight season starts.” Colorado's Bruce Heath said. “That's when the hitting starts.”

Jayhawk cagers hustle, improve; second week of pre-season drills
By Rick Maury Kansan Sports Reporter
KU Basketball Coach Ted Owens has everything going for him.
Besides the title of coach of last year's Big Eight champions, and the team ranked third in the nation, he has 12 boys with last year's attitude—"come out on top."
"For just starting the second week of drills," Owens said, "the boys are making fine progress. The competition we'll be facing this year will be much more rugged than last year, and we'll need a lot more practice."
Competition exceptional Owens pointed out that the competition is "exceptional" this year.
Dave Nash, a 6-9 junior transfer from Dallas Baptist Junior College, Dallas, Texas, will be trying for the pivot position in the Jayhawk's starting lineup. "Dave has lots to learn about KU basketball," Coach Owens said, "but he's putting out fine effort in developing our techniques.
Bruce Sloan was moved from guard to forward and will be sharing the position with Howard Arndt and Jav Ediger.
"The guards will be outstanding this year," Owens said. "Phil Harmon, along with All-American guard Jo Jo White, will be competing for the guard positions against some real fine sophomores."

trouble last year, but hopes to see a lot of action this year.
Vanoy question mark Vernon Vanoy is still pushing his way around on the football field.
"When football season is over
and Vernon comes out for basketball," Owens said, "it will be up to him whether he plays a lot of ball. He'll have a lot of competition this year and he'll have to prove himself first."
