New Coach to Direct Veer Offense
Bv GARY ISAACSON
Kansan Sports Writer
There will be a change in both the coaching staff and the University of Kansas offense when the Jayhawks take to the football field next season.
Gone will be the aerial fireworks of Dave Jaynes and the offensive guidance of James Replacing the Jaynes directed pass rush. Directed pass rush Houston veer offense and replacing McCullers will be the rotund, balding and helped develop the veer, Bob Baldwin.
Baldwin, 41, a Houston native, spent nine years as the coach of the freshman team at Houston. In those nine years, Baldwin's 30 points and 400 yards total offense a game.
After so much success at Houston, who did Baldwin decide to make the move to
"THE BIGGEST thing, in my opinion, is that I will get a chance to continue to run the team," he said. "But I wouldn't have moved over." UU is a fine school and has a fine tradition.
The competition in the Big Eight also influenced Baldwin's decision.
"There's no question that right now this is the greatest conference in the country," he

slot and the corners or perimeter of the defense. It is a flexible offense that is dangerous in any given situation against any particular defense, he said.
The basic play of the verer threatens the defense with both the run and the pass because it releases two men on the line of attack and sends two eligible receivers down field.
"I GIVES THE defense a little bit dif-
ferent look than it normally faces." Baldwin
Although the veer is predominantly a running offense, the pass is an important part of it. Badwain said in the last nine games that he has had at least 23 passes a game. He cited Elmo Wright, now with the Kansas GY Chiefs, as an example of the potency of the pass in the game.
"As a wide open of fence and the big play can come from either the run or the pass," Baldwin said. "But it is also designed to get you three or four yards when you need
Weight led the nation in total yards, average yards per catch and touchdown passes
Baldwin said he hadn't had much time to look at KU's personnel but said that the basic ingredients for a good veer offense were here.

Emmet Edwards are outstanding, Badwin said. The nucleus of next year's team will be based on the players.
The major changes that will be made when the wee is instituted will be in the nature of the passing attack and the line blocking assignments, Badwin said. The pass place will be play-action instead of drop action. He said the dropping off of the ball instead of dropping back
The biggest adjustment will have to be made by the linemen because of the changes in blocking, but Baldwin said that this shouldn't present a problem.
"Anybody who has the ability to protect the passer," he said, "should be able to take it."
Between now and the start of spring practice, Baldwin said he would be formulating the offense to present to the players. He said the defensiveense would be introduced in the spring drills.
"The approach will be one of simplicity, but simplicity to the point of effectiveness," he said. "We're going to try and get in as many repetitions as possible and be sound."
