'Hawk Kicking Game Improved Over Last Year. Coach Says
Handling the kickoff's field goals and extra point attempts again this season is Bob Bockman. The opposing skier style kickoff from St. Louis.
Fambrough said that although most people think the big factor in getting into the game is important thing is to get the ball into the air and give the defense the pressure.
He said Helmbacher had improved both in distance and in height. He said Helmbacher was wearing a camouflage suit to the fay-ward line on kick-offs.
In the first two opening games of the season, against Washington State University and
Baylor, Helmbacher had compiled a record of two for two field goals, and six for seven extra point attempts.
Last year Helmback, in his first year as a varsity kicker, booted 32 of 34 points after wins and six of eight field goals.
The punning chores this year are split between Marc Harris, a bruegger who plays Brugeger, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. Brugeger, he is a well-known hitter, was stronger kicker in the wind while Harris was better at getting the ball.
Harris averaged 39.1 yards a

The Hawks have also improved the snap of the ball back to the kicker, a problem that plagued them in early scrimmages this season.
Fambrough is now more than ever encouraged by the punting game.
"I feel that we're more consistent this season," he said before the Washington State game, adding, however, that the real test would come with the real measure of actual game conditions.
Even though KU shutout the Washington State team, Fambrough was worried about the kicking game.
Jello Replaces Apple Pie On KU Training Table

Dinner at the University of Kansas training table has many of the comforts of home, but mom and I don't attend. According to Paul Sinclair, manager of the table, the 137 players in the football players get Jello shots.
Sinclair and his wife Margaret have managed the training table for the big bans. They are both big fans of the Jayhawks and they jumped for joy.
The athletes are served three meals a day in a modern, comfortable kitchen. Jayhawk Towers. A staff of eight, including two chefs, prepare meals which are high-protein and include lots of fresh ingredients.
"We thought it would be a good opportunity to work with the boys." Sinclair said.
Pre-game meals include a meat, vegetable, juice, toast and honey.
LUNCH CONSTISTS of soup and a sandwich. Dinner is the big meal, with steak served every Friday evening.
Sinclair owned and managed restaurants in Lawrence for more than 20 years. However, he thinks the training table has become a fixture for one thing. For one thing, he said his customers weren't so particular.
"THEIR ATTITUDE towards this place is amazing. We haven't had the first complaint about the food."
said, and added that her only problem was remembering 137 names.
Mrs. Sinclair's views reflect those of her husband.
The Sinclairas said they tried to know each player personally. They learn their backgrounds and make them feel at home.
The training table serves another purpose—it's a great place for learning. Specially mothers, are impressed. According to Sinclair, "a player may be a 225-bound momma but he's still momma's little boy."
The Sinclairs have nothing but praise for the athletes. "They're outstanding," he said. "They behave like perfect gentlemen."
"I love every one of them." she

Owens, KU's head basketball coach, said of Frederick, "I am proud to be a part of Bob's high caliber at this late date. He's been a member of our summer camp staff for four years and is a vital part of our system of fundamentals."
Tartan Turf Is As Good As New After 1st Year
A year ago Sept. 4 marked the beginning of a gritty, fuddy-duddy player. On that day the installation of the new Tartan turf in Memorial Park was completed.
Now, a year later the 'Hawks wiped out their opponents in the two home games beginning the season and had anything to do with the shutout victories is a matter of speculation, but all in all the Tartan Turf has seemed to be a well. It continues to hold up as this season of football, with a host of clear-air players days of changeable weather and a bevy of visitors that last the durability the most mod.
Three months of work were completed, complete installation of the Turf just eight days prior to last year's opening game with Washington. Turf was installed by its manufacturer, the 3M Company.

Oklahoma, like KU chose to put down Tartan Turf, while Kansas needed Nebraska opted for Astrportur.
Sinnison said then that the project would be paid for over a five year period with the money coming primarily from gate receipts. Approximately $25,000 donated from alumni donations.

The base preparation on which the Tartan Turf was placed consisted of crushed rock and clay pressed together and layed on the field leaving an 18-inch crown down the length of the field in concrete construction. Over this were placed two layers of asphalt and a half inches in thickness.
