K-State Works on Pass Offense
By JIM FORBES
Kansan Sports Writer
The K-State Wildcats haven't much time to sit back on their laurels after their 37-0 shutout of Utah State last week. This Saturday the Wildcats take on a tough team in the form of Kentucky University.
Vince Gibson, K-State's head football coach, wasn't overly pleased with the team's performance against Utah State, and in a Kansan interview Tuesday expressed concern about the upcoming game.
"The game (against Kentucky) is going to be close," Gibson said. "They're real big and strong, a real tough team with some good veterans. We really don't know what to expect."
Kentucky defeated North Carolina 20-10 last Saturday, and Gibson pointed to Kentucky's two standouts in that game. He said,
Jayhawks Test Wet Turf
LAWRENCE (UPI) Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers emphasized offensive blocking at a rainy practice session at Memorial Stadium Tuesday afternoon.
The Jayhawks worked on offensive blocking inside the 15 yardline for about 20 minutes and also went through some goal line plays.
Rodgers said the defense was improving and was playing off blockers better than it did last Saturday in KU's high scoring victory over Washington State.
Moore, Kuhn Voted Players of Week
Steve Conley and Chuck Schmitt will continue to alternate at right halfback, Rodgers said, while Willie Amison and Lee Hawkins will continue to alternate at defensive back.
Rodgers said he was pleased with the spirit of the team. The Jayhawks are preparing for a meeting with Texas Tech at Lawrence on Saturday.
The first Big Eight back and lineman of the week honors of the 1970 season went to Missouri's Joe Moore and Kansas State's Mike Kuhn.
Moore, Missouri's senior tailback and the Big Eight conference's number three rusher in 1969, was voted back of the week for his outstanding play last Saturday when Missouri defeated Baylor 38-0.
Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs has never played in a World Series.
Kuhn was voted lineman of the week for his part in Kansas State's 37-0 victory over Utah State. Kuhn, a defense end, was directly responsible for the Wildcats' first 16 points. Kuhn blocked two Utah State punts and partially blocked a third.

A Simple Challenge
The Cats, while winning by a large margin last week, were anything but sparkling on offense. The team gained only 271 yards compared with last year's average of 389 yards per game.

Notably below average was Lynn Dickey, the Wildcat's white-shoed quarterback. Dickey completed only two of 12 passes in the first half and ended the game 10 of 29 for 133 yards.
Gibson said of Dickey, "He's got some sore ribs that are still bothering him, but he's improving. He had a disappointing game last week, but we're counting on him for Kentucky.
K-State's offense may not have been clicking, but the defense was having a great game. The shutout was the first for K-State since the ninth game of the 1968 season when the Wildcats blanked Nebraska 12-0.
The K-State defense limited Utah to 70 yards rushing and 89 passing.
Leading the defense for K-State was Mike Kuhn, who was Tuesday voted the Big Eight lineman of the week. Kuhn blocked two Utah State punts, the first ending in a safety and the second led to a K-State touchdown.
Gibson said the 'Cats would continue to work on pass offense and work to eliminate mistakes. K-State was penalized 11 times for 99 yards during the Utah State game.
