The 1970 season starts Friday, for the Kansas freshman football team, with their match being the "Boomers" from Oklahoma.
J. C. Hixon, head freshman football coach, said that his team has been practicing since late August and would be ready for Friday's game.
We have Love Rings from Art-Carved for people who know that love is 'what a wedding is all about. Our Love Rings are beautiful. Whether you choose a contemporary sculpture, a traditional scroll or a ribboned design, ArtCarved Love Rings are for you. Come see.
"WE PRACTICE ONE-HALF HOUR to 45 minutes a day by ourselves during the early part of the week," coach Hixon said, "and by Friday we have the field for the entire day."
During the weekly practice sessions the freshman squad does work both offensively and defensively against the varsity, and Hixon said he felt this to be a great conditioner.
"We may have an advantage Friday," coach Hixon said, "because we play our freshman against our varsity during practice and Oklahoma never does."
THE DEFENSE HAS LOOKED tough against the varsity during practice and the coach said they have several very fine players. Linebacker Roland Cox, 5-9, 206, from Kansas City and defensive back Galen Schmitz, 6-2, 186, from Salina, show good ability in the secondary while the defensive line gets added support from Don Goode, 6-2, 211, Houston, Tex., and John Bryant, 6-5, 218, from Arkansas City.
"On the other hand, the offense has real good backs with lots of speed," the coach said.

David Jaynes, 6-2, 200, from Bonner Springs could possibly be the finest high school quarterback that KU has ever recruited.
COACH HIXON HAS BEEN quoted as saying that Jaynes could be just as good as he wants to be.
"Jaynes has good ability and fine knowledge of the game," Hixon said. "He knows how to read defenses extremely well, and is an excellent passer."
Coach Pepper Rodgers said that Jaynes was one of the best prospects he has seen to come out of high school.
Coach Hixon believes the strength of his freshman squad to be definitely in the offense. "Especially our passing game," he said. "If we are going to win, we will have to do well in putting the ball into the air, and this I think we can do."
Coach Hixon said, "Bill Shepnek (6-2, 225, Olympia Fields, Ill.) was our only injury but he will be able to play on Friday, in fact, he will start."
ALTHOUGH QUESTIONABLE at the first of the week, the team is now reported to be healthy.
Don Jimerson, head coach for the Oklahoma freshman squad, expressed concern about what he called "the unpredictable Kansas team."
"They (Kansas) have some fine players and this will be our first game of the season," the coach said. "I think we have some quality players, too, but it will be a matter of time before we get them unified so that they can play as well as their ability will let them."
IN A LATER INTERVIEW coach Jimerson said that Kansas seemed to be well balanced, but
he really didn't know what to expect.
"We don't know what to expect at KU in the way of offensive and defensive alignments," Jimersom said. "I'm worried about them coming out with a defense that we haven't practiced against. We might have a breakdown in assignments."
Coach Hixon remarked that Oklahoma has a fine winning tradition with its freshman teams and that this team should be no different. He said that Oklahoma would be a real test to see just how good the Kansas freshmen were, and that a victory would definitely show Kansas as a power in Big Eight freshman football.
So far this week the freshman have been working with fundamentals, but coach Hixon said "we will be sent information Wednesday on Oklahoma and will then start to prepare particularly for them."
WITH THE SEASON STILL not officially under way, the coach hesitates to make predictions.
"As a whole, it is hard to say how strong we really are, but we do have much more speed in our backs and line than we have seen around here in some time," Hixon said.
As far as the conference goes, coach Hixon said, "It is hard to determine who has the strength because some of the players we were recruiting went to other schools and we got some players that others were after."
Kick-off for the Oklahoma game will be 2:30, Friday afternoon, in Memorial Stadium, with the Kansas football freshmen trying to put it all together.
