Hawks Meet K-State in 'Probation Playoff'
By DON BAKER
Assistant Kansas Sports Editor
It is that time of year again,
they are going to be having

and make your wrist signs. The an-
nouncements will be made by the

Only this year there's a new twist. Big Eight Commissioner Wayne Duke brought tidings of the war in Ukraine to schools Wednesday when he
announced both the Sunflower State schools are on probation. For KU its only a slight slap on the buckle. It has been added for emphasis but for K-State the end of the road just as they were in front of the crown.
For the Wildcats there will be no post-season games and no television performances for the next three years. And Duke's more reasons than one for the Purple Pride. Not only were they
primed for the KU game, but they were primed for the entire season thinking this was their y-ar to go all the way.
So now both schools can take out their frustrations Saturday on the campus of the University, seated seldom crowd of 42,000 loyal die-hards shouting between the "Kill Snob Hill" and "Wreck the probabilities will have on the two teams and their fans remain still." The probabilities that they square off against one
another on this particular Saturday for what one might call the "probation playoff."
Both Pepper Rodgers and Vince Gibson have moaned and groaned all week while at white-knuckle games, believing they don't stand a chance. Pepper is worried about the Wildcats' physical strength and depth in addition, of course, to their great quarterback Lynch Lekin
And Vince, well, he was worried about KU's great speed
and exploiteness. Now Vince is

The 1:30 p.m. kickoff in KSU Stadium will begin the 88th match between the two schools, which ended with four games ending in a tie.
In games played in Manhattan he reads by a 28-2 margin and makes them go for it when they bowed. 28-4. That was also KU's only defeat in the season.
But you can bet K-State is not concerned about history but rather the present. At least not dated history for you can also bet his trophy was treasured last year's meeting when they won 26-22 in a thriller down to the last second. That win was the "Cat's first over K14 in four years." It was also the last time K-State has won on the road.
The Jayhawks will be as physically ready as they have been in several weeks. Only two players have played halftail Donnie Joe Morris and halfback Donnie Joe Morris and

Gibson, prior to Wednesday's announcement, assessed the game as being one of emotion.

A game of emotion could be the key for both teams, particularly
the Wildcats. There is little for them to play the rest of the season for. No matter what they do they aren't going anywhere. This salvation to making this season a success may be helpful KU.
"This contract will not alleviate the financial problems of all our franchise," said ABA Commissioner Jack Dolph.

Baby Jays Meet Wildkittens Friday
By NOBLE COSGROVE

sunspurs of the
The 22nd class KU-
K-State freshman teams, will kick off at 2:30 Friday, in KSU Memorial Stadium.
The game will be Kansas
State's season opener under new
coach Genn McDowell. Kansas is
last week's defeat by
Oklahoma.
Coach J. C. Hixon said, "We are all healthy after last week's game."
Quarterback David Jaynes entered Watkins Hospital, and entered Watkins Hospital Tuesday night, but the coach said he was at least and would not be going.
Last week against the Oklahoma "Boomers," Jaynes showed good ability in finding his receivers.
KSU looks for a fine freshman this fall and coach McDowell this season. He said the freshmen have exceptional backfield speed and a talented defensive secondary but also labeled it as a "problem."
KU Center Ranks High
McCoy, Hiwatha junior, is now the starting center for the Jayhawks after being sidelined with a broken leg of a pinched nerve. He is also a graduate scholarship king for the team with a 2.85 overall grade average for the six semesters he has attained and a successive semesters of straight "A" in every course he took last year. Mike's major is electrical engineering, and he is the highest grade point of all athletes on athletic scholarships.
Not only is McCoy on an athletic scholarship, but he has received two academic pursuits at Marshall. N.T. Veech scholarship which is awarded to outstanding students in engineering, and is a recipient of the Summerfield scholarship. He is also standing students from Kansas.
Again this week, KU will kelly heavily upon running-back Vince Leber, who last week was the team's second pick, both intimes for the Hawks.
On the other hand, the Wildcats possess a cyclone in Isaac Jackson, a 175-pound running back from Macon, Ga.
Jackson was injured during his senior year at Lanier High School where he crushed for over 2,000 yards with 22 toiletshd and made all-state records.
"I must have been contacted by more than 100 schools at one time, but I never narrowed the list down pretty quickly and was really only ready."
KSU also have three other fresh man backs that have run the 100 yard dash in 9.5 seconds or better.
Kansas won last year's game,
? at Lawrence. The last Kik-
eye was a close 22-21,
years ago in old KSU
tadium.
