Oklahoma State Poses Next Threat To Steamrolling Jayhawk Express
Assistant Kansan Sports Editor
Re DON RAKER
Looking for their sixth win in eight starts, the Kansas Jayhawks leave Friday for Stillwater, Okla., to meet the Oklahoma State Cowboys in an important Big Eight encounter.
The Jayhawks, who are more and more to actually "be back," appear currently tied for the top spot. The Nets, while loaining only to league-leader Nebraska. A Saturday win is essential as a loss will kill them.
Depending on who you talk to or what prognosticator you read or listen to the Jayhawks will be either a two-point favorite or a two-point underdog. Consequently the Jayhawks have to meet one and both coaches have shown tremendous respect for each other in pregame evaluations.
"Kansas has shown more improvement in the league than anyone," Cowboy coach Greg Norman said. "We've got eight Big Eight briefing in Kansas City. "They are strong and they move the ball well on the field."
Gass even went so far as to compliment the military defense effort its strong fight against ISIS.
Both the Jayhawks and Oklahoma State have hold down most of the bottom positions in conference defensive statistics throughout the year. Currently the Cowboys rank seventh in rushing defense, fourth in defensive defense, in total defense and eighth in scoring defense.
"Their (Oklahoma State) football team is somewhat like ours," Rodgers said. "They have a juco transfer at quarterback, a great kickoff return man and great receivers."
Kansas ranks eighth in rushing defense
eighth in pass defense, eight in total
in scoring yards.
Pepper Rodgers has compared the cowboy to KU in more ways than just from the outside.
to utilize their passing game most of the afternoon, particularly now that their leading rusher, James Williams, will probably miss the game because of an injury.
The man that will do the signal calling for OSU is Tony Pounds. A handsome 6-4, 163 pound junior who transferred to Oklahoma State from New Mexico Military Junior College. Pounds leads the conference in passing with 82 completions in 147 attempts. He also played in two NCAA championships. On the sole basis of his passing Pounds is also the total offense leader in the

injuries will not be of so much concern to the Jayhawks but KU will definitely feel the need to stop.
The 245-pound senior suffered torn ligaments in his right knee in last week's lowers.
The 19-member policy making board also announced it was repremanding and censuring Jacksonville University in Florida to receive too high pay for a summer job.

K-State Gets Stung Again; NCAA Affirms Probation
In other action, the council restored Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va., and LaSalle College in Philadelphia to the good graces of the NCAA.
NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—The National Collegiate Athletic Association Council Wednesday placed Kansas State University and the University of Tulsa on three-year probationary periods for student athlete infractions.
An NCAA spokesman also announced the council would take a harder look in the future at certain government funded programs that provided student athletes with summer jobs.
The Kansas Jayhawks travel to Stillwater, Okla. Saturday in, life all further games will be, a crucial contest that will go a long way towards deciding ITT's finish in the NCAA tournament. How will the Jayhawks will fare when bowl invariations are beginning in two weeks.
The spokesman said the NCAA wanted to make certain that a student athlete has access only to jobs at a pay scale available to any other youth.
And, after KU halfback John Figgins said last week his lackluster Iowa State victory, the Jayhawks can not afford to have a bad game the rest of the season. Each and every game must be played one at a time with high concentration and effort on each opponent.
The University of Tulsa was placed on probation from now until Jan. 1, 1973. During this period Tulsa's football team must end its season with its last, regularly scheduled game and become ineligible to participate in any postseason football competition.
The NCAA Council also said Tulsa's football team would not be eligible to appear on any NCAA administered and controlled football program, excluding arrangements already made.
For a Kansas State University, the same penalties imposed for Tulsa were applicable for Houston.
Kansas State was cited for giving student athletes pre-enrollment tests without having to pay for them and giving two student athletes the same test to visit a friend for recruitment purposes.
Bailey Wants Network To Reach Entire State
By CINDI WILLIS Kansan Sports Writer
After careful consideration, Jerry Bailey, voice of the dayhawks, expressed his goal as to "be a leader for our team."
"I would like to reach the point someday where the KU Sports Network would reach the entire state with every game played by every varsity team at the University."
At present, Bateau said, only the major sports, such as football and basketball are carried. He said he would eventually like to play basketball, baseball games and track and field meets.

It's to toughen to be enthusiastic when the team is doing badly. It is hard to keep from getting it.
The challenge in the job as 'Voice of the laywhacks' comes with the broadcast of a radio show.
The Jayhawk unit of key receivers was ranked by Bailey as the best in the Big Eight conference. If the KSU squad can live up to its potential, it will be one of the top five positions in the conference.
Bailey said he is not surprised by the Hawks performance on the football field this season. He rated his own Alma Mater, KU, as being the best of all players they are the smallest squad in the league.
"the network more or less lives and dies with the KU team," Bailey said. The hard, painful part of Network is made up of ten radio station stations, plus a ten radio station station, Bailey, but subscriptions for individual games can fluctuate between 30 and 15 on a regular basis, on the importance of the game and what kind of game.
In Bailey's words, "The Big Eight Conference is definitely the strongest league in the country from top to bottom." He elaborated by adding that the team coaches overall and some of the finest collegiate football facilities. He predicted that teams to host seasons could send several teams to host seasons.
Interest in all competition sports will remain high, Bailey predicts. He attributes some of the success to the availability to the American public and a trend among Americans to become involved with a sport.
There is also a trend for the general public to be more sports-minded, Bailley said, mostly of the impact of television. The general public is not being well informed and more interested," he said. Even women, although sometimes unwillingly, "are a lot better versed in football," quipped Bailley.
Another effect of the extensive sports coverage by the broadcast media that Bailey noted is the trend in collegiate football teams toward a more wide open play style. He credits this to the increasing pressure on teams to compete with the pros for attention.
The new Tartan Turf installed at KU's Memorial Stadium is "great" as far as he is concerned, and the surface regardless of the weather conditions, Bailey commented, and it may cut down the grass.
What does Bailey think of KU's head football coach, Pepper Rodgers? "Well, he's unpredictable," and a very pleasant man to work with.

KU holds a 21-7 lead in the series between two schools but lost last year's battles. The game was one of seven during the 1969 campaign in which the Jayhawks lost after a three-point shootout.
The only other Jayhawk listed as doubled for the contest is reserve quarterback Rich Jones who was injured on the final play of the Nebraska game two weeks ago.
KU came back from a 14-1 halffailure deficit to take a 17-14 lead late in the third quarter. The Cowboys rallied in the go-ahead touchdown, the Cowboys corked a dazzling double lateral kickoff return that resulted in Wayne Hallmark and a touchdown to touchdown. The Javwhaws never recovered.
It will be homecoming Saturday in Stillwater and a crowd estimation has been pegged at 38,000 for the 1:30 p.m. kickoff. The Jayhawks will take a 47-man traveling squad and will leave Friday afternoon via jet from Kansas City.

2 Coeds Win Grid Trophies
OMAHA (UPI)—Two Creighton University coeds took home trophies after the third annual Powder Puff Football game here Sunday.
Katie Melon was awarded the "best back" trophy after leading her "Red" squad to an 18-2 victory. Pat Shelle of the "Blue" squad was named "best front."
The primary weapon in the OSU arsenal will be a pass catch whiz by the name of Hugh McGregor.
Eben, a 6-1, 199 pound senior from Messeque, Texas, does it all and has it all. Great moves, super hands and more than adequate speed describes the fleet spill-end who owns nearly every pass catching record at OSU.
To Hermann the records mean a lot but like many great performers his efforts are not individually focused but rather centered on he welfare of the team.
"They (the records) have to mean a lot as far as ego is concerned." Ebén said in a telephone conversation Monday at the Big Eight briefing in Kansas City but added that his efforts are concentrated solely for the team.
In his illustrious career Elenah has caught 98 passes for 1,610 yards and 14 touchdowns. He finished the '98 campaign with 28 catchins in 35 games, including 16 touchdowns. A dedicated athlete and student,
Enceb credits his past catching ability to a "bedtime" drill his brother told him of and one that he has used nightly since his high school days.
"I developed my concentration by throwing the ball up and catching it while laying in bed." Ebent confessed. He said the trick was to take an objection, looking at the ball and床.
It was during Eben's high school days that his football future was in grave question. But like many success stories, Eben overcame challenges and determined and the results are obvious.
"I ruptured a in back in a high "I school game," Eben said. "The doctor told me before the operation to not get my hopes up for playing any more football."
Directing the GSU arsenal to Eben will be Tony Pounds, a junior college transfer who, thanks to Eben and other Cowboy receivers, leads the conference in passing.
Hermann Ebben possesses all the qualities one looks for in a great all-around athlete and performer. Dedicated, competitive and quick to give credit to his counterparts.
But Ebien did come back and before his pre career was finished was being sought for his services by numerous universities and colleges.
Eben, said to be a smart and great leader on the field, is also a smart and great leader off the field. Maintaining a 3.9 grade point in college will help the major, Benjamin, also a dedicated student.
"Tony is a real accurate passer," Eben said in describing his passant counterpall. "The ball is easy to catch and he's a smart quarterback."
Will pro football be a part of Ebern's career?
The superstar says probably no because, in his words, he is not fast enough and also too good. Pro football will be the foremost goal after graduation.
A great competitor on and off the field, KU will have their hands full Saturday with the McGregor
