Dave Robisch, the 'Hawks 6-9 junior center, provides KU's biggest scoring threat in leading the team in all but one contest. He was held to 22 points by Missouri last Monday and is the man Iowa State will be most concerned with Saturday night.
Len turns to Vikings
(Continued from page 6) cause of his acquaintance with Donald J. Dawson, one of the 10 men arrested Jan. 1 in the Detroit-Lansing area on charges of using interstate communications in furtherance of gambling activity and conspiracy to violate federal gambling laws.
Dawson said at that time his brief conversations with the other Dawson, who is not a relative, concerned his knee injury and the recent death of his father.
"I don't know any more than you do about the investigation," Dawson said in reply to questions from sportswriters.
Coach Hank Stram, sitting at Dawson's side during the conference, cut off further questions to Dawson concerning the investigation, at one point saying, "Don't answer that" to the quarterback when he was asked whether his conversations with the Michigan Dawson were in person or by telephone.
Looking ahead to Sunday's game, Dawson and Stram agreed that the Chiefs are a much improved team from the club that took a humiliating beating from the Green Bay Packers in the first Super Bowl game in 1967. Dawson pointed out that the players still on the Chiefs who were in that game "now have three more years experience and figure to be better just from that alone."

Kapp displays confidence; Chiefs are nothing new
NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—The Minnesota Vikings are oozing confidence in advance of their Sunday Super Bowl appearance against the Kansas City Chiefs and the fellow oozing most of it—as usual—is Joe Kapp.
"Ive played in the Rose Bowl, the Gray Cup during his Canadian days and the toilet bowl—all of them," said the Viking quarterback Wednesday. "This is nothing new."
Kapp, dressed in a mod outfit
replete with blue bell bottom slacks and an electric blue shirt, met the press yesterday with Viking head coach Bud Grant.
The Vikings are unique in that they are the first representative of the National Football League in the Super Bowl to have a younger organization than their American Football League opponent.
That does not bother Grant, and neither does the Chiefs' shifting offense led by quarterback Len Dawson.
Sports Briefs
NEW YORK (UPI)—Jim Nance of the Boston Patriots, who shook off major ankle surgery the way he shakes off opposing tacklers, has been named the American Football League's COMEBACK Player of the Year for 1969 by United Press International.
The big fullback was a runaway choice in the balloting conducted of 22 sports writers who covered the AFL regularly. Nance received 11 votes as compared to four for runnerup Tom Keating, a defensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders.
Floyd Little of the Denver Broncos was named on three ballots, linebacker Nick Buoniconti of the Miami Dolphins got two votes and quarterback Mike Taliaferro of Boston and wide receiver Marlin Briscoe of the Buffalo Bills got one each.
Nance, who missed over half of the 1968 season with a severely damaged ankle, underwent major ankle surgery last February and recovered well enough to finish second in the league in rushing this past season with 750 yards. He also proved to be a valuable pass receiver under new coach Clive Rush's intricate offense and wound up second on the team in receptions with 29.
MANHATTAN (UPI)—Bobby Jackson, an assistant football coach at Florida State the past five years, has been appointed to an assistant position under Vince Gibson at Kansas State, Ernie Barrett, athletic director, announced last night.
Barrett said the appointment was effective immediately.
Jackson, a native of Forsythe, Ga., played under Gibson at South Georgia Junior College at Douglas, Ga. He later played college football at Howard College in Birmingham, Ala.
During Jackson's five years at Florida State, the Seminoles went to four major bowl games.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (UPI)—Missouri football coach Dan Devine said Wednesday: "Penn State is the best defensive team I've seen in my 20 years of coaching—by far."
At a press conference at his home, Devine said the Tigers underestimated as did many Missouri fans—the talents of Penn State defensive stalwarts Mike Reid and Dennis Onkotz.

"That'd be nice if they'd do that again," Grant said of the Tight-T. "We'd be ready. We think we'd like to see that Tight-I. The zone defense we use helps in this regard."
Kapp, who guided the Vikings to a narrow victory over Los Angeles and a devastating win over Cleveland in bringing Minnesota to the Super Bowl, said he has not even looked at films of Kansas City's defense.
Grant even welcomed the use of the Tight-T and Tight-I formations occasionally used by Kansas City.

"With a veteran team, there's not so much concern with being caught with a shift—we know what to do," Grant said of the Chiefs' tricky offensive sets.
He said he did not feel it was necessary to look at the films since he thought Viking running backs Bill Brown and Dave Osborn could gain ground against anybody.
The Minnesota coach said middle linebacker Lonnie Warwick is in "good" condition despite an injured foot but would be kept out of practice so he could be in good shape by game time.
loss to Penn State New Year's night in the Orange Bowl, Devine said he never again will take a team to a bowl site as early as he took this year's squad to Florida. The coach said this is because he felt his team may have "peaked" too early in its Florida practice sessions.
Devine said he looked forward to next season with optimism. He said this year's seniors will be missed but that Missouri will have plenty of talent next fall.
