KU Meets Iowa State Saturday; Hawks Seek Homecoming Victory
Rv DON RAKER
Assistant Kansan Sports Edttor
The Kansas Jayhawks, defended last week for fourth-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers, will play in the Big Ten. Saturday when they entertain the Iowa State Cyclones before an expected homecoming game.
The Jayhawks, 4-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play, will be out to revenge last year's 44-20 loss suffered to the Cyclones in Ames. But he was still one of the team but the Cyclones, fused by Tom Elliot's 96-yard punt return for a touchdown, sterned back for the win. Iowa State outscored KU 34-3 in the fourth period beginning with Elliot's 54-and-10 run. The Ravens, a fumble the Cycleone rally sows.
Saturday's game will be the Golden An-
dals' game. The team won its last match that began in 1988, but has only been continuous since 1932. Kansas has played a 27-17 edge in the rivalry and a 14-7 edge in games with the Redskins.
Iowa State will also be on the rebound from a losing effort last week. The Cyclone caught Kansas State coming from the 21-15 loss to KU it absorbed the week before and bowed to the Wildcats, 17-0. The loss was the second straight conference loss for Johnny Majors as so they have yet to win victory number one in league play. Overall Iowa State is 3-2.
The loss of two weeks ago was to Colorado when the Bucks annihilated the Cyclones, 61-
Despite the two successive losses in which his team has been outscored 78-10, Majors expressed optimism at the beginning of the season. The Rams had a strong football team since his arrival two years ago.
The Cyclone it foresees is generally considered be their defense where they rank fourth in the hurricane season.

Throwing the shot put in his spare time, Amundson is comparable in this game to Jake Kunz. He two-seven points at the quarterback position.
Injuries has also occupied much of the thoughts this week of Pepper Rodgers. Last week's 41-20 loss to the Cornhuskers left the Jayhawks bruised and some players have been held out of contact this week in hopes of the Cyclones.
Reserve quarterback Rich Jones is considered the most doubtful player for Saturday's encounter although others are said to be questionable too.
Others injured in the Nebraska game were offensive guard Gary Cooper and defensive
Jessie has been on the receiving end of nine aerials.
Riggins, the senior All-American candidate from Centralia, is second in conference with 94 points. Riggins has totaled 572 yards for date an average of 96 yards a game and a five-yard field goal.
Riggins picked up 76 yards last week against the Huskers to push his career rushing figure to 2,147 yards, leaving him only four yards shy of the Big Eight's all-time top
A good day for Riggins of Iowa State could vault him all the way to the number six position among conference rushers. That spot would have been the Cyclone age, former Cyclone age with 2,232 wounds.

On the other hand Rodgers expressed most concern with the Cyclone's defense while admitting Iowa State's offense has been a trouble spot for the visiting team.
The Jayhawks have been established a two-tochdown favorite and must have the win to remain in contention for any part of the Big Eight crown and possible bowl bids.
The game will mark the 58th Homecoming battle and it will be Iowa State's first opportunity to spoil the KU festivities as the team before been a KU Homecoming opponent.
KU's record in previous Homecoming games is 20 victories, 33 losses and four ties.

The freshmen from both schools met last year in Lawrence, where KU defeated the Tigers, 30-20.

Coach Confused; Son Corrects Error

The blunder cane Sunday night on the side of a racetrack show when he said Vivek Onalpati was against Nebraka was the first time a KU player had scored on a kickoff return since his last game.
The truth of the matter is that Junior Riggins, big brother of John, romped 84 yards with a Stanford kickoff in 1967. It just so happens that was Pepper's first game as a head coach and the touchdown was made under Pepper's head coaching revive.
"My son corrected me the next morning," Rodgers grinned when asked of the error earlier in the week.

The Iowa State Cyclones will possess one of the tougher defenses KU has faced this year with the exception of Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Rodgers is not about to take them lightly.
"They are'n blessed with great talent," Rodgers audited, "but they have the most aggressive gang tackling football team we've seen."
Vince Gibson, whose Kansas State Wildcats at Ames Saturday over Iowa State, echoed Penner's feel.
"I think they're sound," Gibson said. And I think they hit as hard as anybody else. "I know what they did."
A sad note pervades the KU-Iowa State tilt Saturday. Harry Burrell, the ISU Sports Information Director, will miss the weekend's activities as he is confined to an office. Burrell said his first step was to "acute pneumonia" Lakota Burrell has a growth in his trachea.

Another chapter in the ever continuing story of the KU defense was written Saturday with the plot getting less and less better. The outcome becoming more and more obsequious.
Rushing defense, passing defense, total defense and scoring defense all find KU at the bottom.
But Rodgers is not losing sleep over his defenders' performance and maintains his enthusiasm and confidence that they will steadily improve and mature with each successive season. This out, few would disagree that the Jayhawks have improved with each game.

By NOBLE COSGROVE
Charles O'Neal, athletic counselor and assistant director of athletics at the University of Texas as a counselor was "to do what I can for the athletes to better prepare them for competition."

O'Neal graduated from the University of Kansas in 1852 and later worked for his Masters in Guidance and Counseling. Since receiving his graduate degree, he has spent 50 hours towards his doctorate.
As athletic counselor, O'Neal is responsible for making sure that he has the experience to course for his major, and that he always has access to competent faculty.
"OF COURSE IVE BEEN interested in counseling for some time." O'Neal said, "and I was delighted when the job was of
Jawhaker Towers apartments with the athletes, and I'm constantly available for them to see."
O'Neal is a professional counselor and decided to take the KU job because he knew the problems an athlete can face.
"AS A FORMER ATLETHES at KU, I know what it is like to be a student and participate in sports."
"They need more help than the average student," he said, "because so much of their time is centered around sports."
"It's set up different," he said,
"because my wife and I live in
INCOMING FRESHMEN athletes will generally stop in the counselor's office. It is here they plan for their field of education.
It could be said that while the coaches watch over the men during practice, O'Neal takes on their academic progress
"At the beginning of the training, I will say that we really a pre-enrolment counselor. I assist the freshmen and am constantly busy with counselor duties."
He said, "To the best of my ability, all of the athletes are taking the proper course when that they leave they have a degree enough to encourage a degree enough to help them, help the men must do it on their own, I only try to show dire-course."
"Some get advice from their own school's department, but many still consult me for extra help including tutors if needed." I was glad.
Although important, his job doesn't end with freshmen. He is always available for additional help to upper classman.
ONEAL CAME TO KU in late August and is in the process of building a collection of schools, majors, and required courses so that he can give competent instruction to each school, consult each school separately.
"I do, blower, plan to yearly visit all the departments," he said. "in order to keep abreast to any changes or compilations."
"MY MILITARY EXPERIENCES have greatly added to my ability as counselor," he said. "I was a counselor on an Air Force training unit and as a military guidance counselor at the University of Wyoming."
Important to his job, is the ability to read a scholarly article. When O'Neen was wrote, he wrote his thesis on how to tell a high school athlete was capable of college work and in this he got published as the author of parative tests. Since then, the N.C.A.A. has established such a range of testing and comparing.
"An athlete is a student first."
HE SAID THAT IN ORDER for an athlete to receive a grant in aid, he must first pass Univer-
sity light, and N.C.A. regulations.
Once the men have enrolled, academically they are on their own. O'Neal said he only called them when if they were having problems.
O'Neal said, "and if it is shown that he can't do college work, there is really no place for him."
"I do receive mid-term grades and will ask to see certain individuals on this basis. I am also responsible they have poor class attendance."
O'NEAL IS ALSO the golf coach and does spend time away at golf meets.
"We're not too busy this fall, in fact. We only have two meetings in said, we call them "Monday meetings," have frequent meetings in the spring. I'm definite a full time counselor for our group."
