a charter member of club honoring defensive standouts.
Defensive halfback Mark Geraghty, defensive end Joe Shannon, and linebacker Tom Bergeron were transferred to become members of the "Hi-Hackers" Club. All three were turned into KU scoring drivers.
Defensive standouts Phil Baum and Brian Schnorr were initiated into the "Big Play" Club for dougging Caugen passers behind them.
Basler, Big Eight Lineman of the Week, and linebacker Kenny Page received awards for fumble recoveries.
Jerry Evans became the sixth member of the club by forcing two fumbles. Evans was also
voted by the coaching staff "Big Stick of the Week," for getting the "best hit" during Saturday's game.
Evans tackled Washington's Ken Granberry on KU's 11, causing the Cougar back to the Cincinnati, sending the ball for the Jayhawks.
"We're trying to put a premium on blocking," he said. Bear defense would not be making many mistakes Saturday.
McCullers said the titles are given, in part, to recognize outstanding offensive players who often got little publicity.
He said KU would especially have to stop running back Mackay in the second more than 700 yards for the Bears last year, and the passing of a receiver.
KU defensive coordinator John Cooper said the Jayhawks next foe, Baylar, would be tough.

Ashe Stunned by Czech In U.S. Open Semifinals
FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (AP)- *Giant kill* -Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia stunned favored team in the 64-6,Wednesday and went into the men's singles final of the rain-plagued U.S. Open Tennis Championships against big Stan Smith, the American soldier from Iraq.
Smith and Kodes meet Wednesday for the $20,000 first prize. Also on Wednesday, toppeded Blaine Jean King of Long Beach, was the Rosemary Casals of San Francisco play for the women's crown—the first time since 1958 that two U.S. women competed in this final. That was the year that Gilbion defeated Darlene Hard.
Kodes, 25, a graduate of the University of Prague, entered the tournament unseeded and underwent a further than the second round in a
The last two and a half sets of the Ashe-Kodes semifinal were played in a drizzling rain and they looked like an excuse to wipe off his fogged up spectacles.
An erratic service, producing a dozen doublefaults, was the one used by the young Negro who won the fight with a five-set victory over Oker

Kodes is the first East European-Iron Curtain competitor to reach the finals of the U.S. Open Jaroslav Drobny, a former Czech beat best Karen Resewski for the Wimbledon title in 1954.
O'Neil is working out with the scouting team each day until his training is over. He has lost any speed or stamina from his dilemma, he certainly does not.
"It was a very fortunate situation, but I wasn't going to back out," he said recently. "My sister went home and come home to leave and go back home."
However, O'Neil made it clear that he had no intentions of leaving.
"I don't like to be pushed around," he said.
"Playing on grass is a joke," she said early in the tournament. Nevertheless he upset top-seeded Danny Collins, who won champions, in the first round and reeled off triumphs over Pierre Barthes, George Seewang Jr., Bob Nutz, Frank Froehling III and Ashen Ase en route to the team.
He said an expected crowd of 60,000 will attend Saturday's game. Tickets for this game are still available at the KU ticket office in the Pike Field
grass court event.
Ashe served 15 aces with his 112 backs, and he recklessly going for the big winner, he fell into into 12 doubletails—three of them.
All tickets for the KU-KState football game in Memorial Stadium October 9 have been issued by the athletic director said Tuesday.
It's the first U.S. Open title shot for Smith, who won the U.S. tournament with who went into Wimbledon this year against Newcombe.
A capacity crowd of 51,500 is on hand for the KU homecoming game with K-State and Eight Game for the Javahawks.
Novotny said tickets are still available for the other four remaining home games. In-
"I LIKE TO THINK they (the team) are pulling for me," he said.
"I came out before the game and looked around at the crowd. I felt like a kid that has his best toy taken away from him," he said. "But when the game started, I heard the crowd say, 'I'm much rather be playful, though.'"
He said he was anxious to get back because, as he put it, "I don't want to sit on the bench."
While he will not be playing, he will help the coaches during the actual games, which he did in last season. He was a big probation for a football player.
came when he first learned of the probation.
Tickets Gone For KSU Tilt
O'Neil admits that he has adjusted to not being able to practice with the varsity squad.
"I was pretty bitter," he said, "because the situation was totally tedious. I really wanted to sit at something. I left me dry."
"I try as hard if not harder than last year," he noted. "I feel like I'm helping them and they're helping me."
As the story goes, O'Neil originally signed a letter-of-intent to play football at K-State but decided to go to Hutchinson his third grade. His he was in contact with K-State while in Hutchinson.
DISGUSTED WITH K-State, O'Neil came to KU after graduating from Hutchinson. When K-State was suspended last fall for recruiting violations, O'Neil was charged by some with felony assault. After after the football season, O'Neil was placed on probation.
However, his weekend will not come for another month. He cannot hide the glimmer in his hands, it talks about K-State game.
Looking back at those years, he remarked, "They (K-State) kept telling me things were legal that were under the table."
HIS WORST ADJUSTMENT
So now, O'Neil is preparing the competition games. Next week for time, he will be able to practice with the variety squares and team "a good body, a good mind and good eyes." So he felt he ran so this weekend.
Also three years ago, Wayne Duke, then Big Eight Commission, began investigating a petition that questioned O'Dell in Hutchinson.
