Improved Kansas Defense Must Stop the Wishbone
By MIKE DONNELLY
Kansas Sports Writer
The KU defense, showing marked improvement over its past performance in the last season, encouraged early effort Saturday against Colorado, Charlie McCullers, offensive coordinator said in an interview
McCullers attributed the Bufs fourth quarter touchdowns to their superior strength and depth, which finally overcame KU.
OU Coach Argues Rule
NORMAN, Okla. (AP)—Okla. team coach John Tremblay with a new big Eight rule which decrees that the home team must sit on the sideline during the game.
Fairbanks said he was opposed to the rule as a matter of principle.
Fairbanks revealed Monday that Big Eight officials had "requested" that the Sooners be benched on the east side of Owen Stadium during Oklahoma's homecoming battle with Kansas
The Sooner football team has traditionally sat on the west side. The Ringer team was given permission to that arrangement because visiting teams had asked to sit on the east side, but had not been allowed to ride the Ringer's game.
Fairbanks said that although he is opposed to the rule he would abide by it.

"They were running two teams and out and had four big strong runners on the ground, like playing our 11 against 15 of them. It it takes it out of you of them."
McCullers described the Buffs as a very physical team, which was stronger, more aggressive and tougher than Oklahoma.
"They wore us down; we got tired and were not quite as quick toward the end of the game," he said.
The lack of depth at several positions and the inability of the offense to mount a constant attack are the reasons McCullers was able to play well against defense. The problem has plagued KU more frequently in the last four games. Averaging only 12 points per game for the last four games, the offense has had no share of the team's share of time on the field.
The defense will be severely impacted this Saturday as KU opponents in teams in the country in Oklahoma and Kansas have made headlines the season by successfully employing the wish-fulfilling Sooners have made headlines this
McCullers does not think that the wishbone is so special. It is the way Oklahoma executes it that makes it effective, he said.
"They have great execution and fantastic speed. There is more of a load on the offense this week because our success depends on the offence's ability to move the clock and keep the clock running, he said.
McCullers also said that the outside people -ends, defensive players - will play to play especially good in order to prevent Oklahoma's great upset. "We need to play," he said.
A few minor injuries were sustained in the Colorado game, but no one was injured seriously. He played next Saturday in Norman. Other than the normal humps and bruises, John Schroll suffered two sprained ankles and three broken wrists, sprained one another. Another defensive back. Mike Burton has a knee injury and quarterback Dan Heco, who was kept out of the game, was injured in the Colorado game, is nursing a brushed hip.
Success at the infamous snake pit will depend on the Jayhawk's ability to control the ball and score. The game will be televised on ESPN. A crowd of 60,000 is expected for this Sooner homecoming game.
Knee Injury Forces Out KU Center
Bill Kosik, the 6-10 center who announced last week that he would not play bass in the season, said Monday that the lack of response to his injured knee was the crucial factor in his decision not to play.
Kosiek underwent an operation of his left knee last year to remove bone chips. Head Coach Ted Wenonja said junior college players were torn forearm and senior Neil Mask would run at the pivot in place of Kosiek.
It was learned Monday that having center Runny Canfield was not the best place to practice next Monday. Canfield had been recuperated from a crash on Sunday.
