Defensive Units Will Be Tested When Jayhawks, Cougars Clash
By JOHN RITTER
Kansas Sports Editor
When the Kansas Jayhawks meet the Washington State Cougars Saturday, Montana Memorial is testing ground for two defensive units that have a lot of amends to make for poor showings last
Both club's defensive statistics for 1970 were far from imminent. But the league finished which finished 1-10 for the season allowed its opponents 460 points Kansas, 5-6, finished last in every defensive department in the Big Ten.
And, as might be expected,
defense has been the prime
consideration in spring and fall
drills for both teams.
On the field for a 1:30 p.m. kick-off will be a Cougar team possessing two important positions for covered players last year, depth and experience.
"WE FEEL we have a good ball club," Mike Wilson, WSU sports information director, said Thursday. "We finished last year's season with just five seniors in the starting line-up. With 24 seniors this season, we need the necessary leadership."
Wilson said head coach Jim Sweeney was involved in a two- year rebuilding program, that measured the defense this season.
"Last year Sweeney concentrated on the offense, with good results," he said. "This year
the defense must come through in order for us to have a good season."
IN LAST YEAR's home opener in Lawrence, the Cougars ripped the Jayhawks for 31 points while they outspent 500 yards in total offense.
"We know they have a lot of "we" he said. "he" they run from multiple formations, which will real test for our defensive in-
Kansas Coach Doum Farrbough, who described the Cougars' WSU's success would depend on the degree of improvement in his team.
Fambrough said another concern, although one he said he would have little control over,
would be the attitude of the Washington State players.
"They're coming off a bad season," he said. "They're going to be better than the current town. It may well be the biggest game of the year for them."
THE COUGARS offensive line is deep and experienced. Jim Giesa, left guard, John Hook, center, Buzz Brazeau, left tackle, Wallace Williams, right tackle, and Jim Forest, tight end, all starters from last season. The women in right guard Bill Moosmere

His longest field goal was 48 yards and of his five missees, four were from outside 50 yards. The other was blocked.

McCullers, Cooper See Balanced Cougar Attack
“Of course,” Cooper said, “for this game the object of the defense is to try to prevent the long run, the long pass and to stop the other team from keeping the ball down. A drive, just like any other game.”

John Cooper, KU's defensive coach, said Thursday one of the big differences in this year's wins was the emphasis on defense.
"He's not a great passer and I wired say his speed is just average and can run with the football. He has also shown more polis and has been able to run."
HE SAI MD Washington State had a good, experienced offence. Nine players were charged for returning to the laundry. WSU ran 915 offensive plays last season and was one of the few teams returning to the laundry.
The Kansas Jayhawks open their 1971 football season against Washington State University with a win, but they proved over last year's and a trip of promising quarterbackbacks, veteran Dan Hank and rookies Joe Sargeant.
Fambrough said it would be hard to predict whether the Cougars, with a potentially fine pitch, would get the ball on the ground Saturday.
first downs per game.
"We're an attacking type defense," Cooper said of the KU squad.
Cooper said the Jayhawk defense would be especially concerned with the Cougars' option offense.
He said fans should keep their eyes on linebacker Kenny Page and defensive end Eddie Shesa in the game. "I'll job as well as excite the fans."
HE SAID Mark Geraghty, defensive halfback and head of the secondary was "one of the players I've ever coached."
ABOUT THE game with Washington State, McCullers said one thing the Hawks would definitely do would be to alter a play in the first fresh because he predicted that the game day would be hot.
As far as offense is concerned, offensive coach Charlie McCullers, when asked to replace him against WSU, "score." "What we do," McCuller's continued, "will depend on what WSU is playing defensively and our ability to meet its strengths and weaknesses."
Jaynes and Jones. He said they had all shown great improvement over the last year.
He said he expected running
Nelli and Devin Williams and
wingback Chuck Schmidt to
perform well in the game
He said the KU team was fortunate to have three quarterbacks of the caliber of Heck.
McCullers praised the Washington State team. It was ridiculous, he said, for WSU to be voted one of the worst teams in the nation. The Pacific Eight is among the best teams on the nation, he said, and WSU has been competing against some stiff competition.
The KU team had more speed, but not any more power this year. McCullers said.
"We're going to try to be a quicker, better outside team this year," he said.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jim Hart has won the quarterback job at least temporarily before he concludes their preseason warmup in the National Football League against the Cleveland Browns. Friday
Cardinals Coach Bob Hollyway's indication was Thursday, however that the job is Hart's on a week-to-week basis.
"Jim is the best man to start at this time," said Hollyway, who has alternated the 27-year-old Hairy Boy with the 18-year-old through four preseason games.
"Each has done a good job and we have no deficiency at quartetball. Holiday, who apparently opted for Harv on the basis of incum-

KANAS S CITY (AP)—Civic groups and city officials in Kansas City cannot agree on a plan to keep residents they agree they should stop wasting time or suburban Johnston College is going over the project.
The question was spiced with confusion Thursday when Joe Bolger Jr., eastern judge of the 11th Circuit, announced the possibility of building a sports arena near Independence, Mo., just east of City.
The Kansas Jayhawks Thursday sped through 50 minutes of ball-handling and execution drills, capped by work on their two-minute drill, in their last full workout before Saturday's game.

Players Tight In Last Drill

"I was nervous as hell," Coach Don Fambrough said. "I don't mind the Stadium without pads." I don't know about the players, but I can say I sure
Bolger said, "The need for an immediate meeting became apparent when I saw a major disagreement developing between City interests over methods of financing and location."

Fambrough said he was pleased with the team's offence against him. The offense started from its 40 yard-line, with a hypothetical two-point deficit. In one of the drills, Hambucher kicked a goal at 100 yards.
I think you could play football for 50 years and still get the same reaction for that first game.
Kode's victory foiled what had loomed as possibly the first All-American men's semifinal in 20 years. The last was in 1951 when he won over Bobcats and over Herbie Flam. Riessen gained the quarter-finals belatedly, beating Yugoslavia's left-handed Nickie Plica 7-5, 7-6-1 in a match by darkness with the score 4-4 in the second set.
Okker on Saturday will go against the winner of the winner's game. Ashe takes his bullet serves against Kodes, the tournament leader, an impressive sweep by stunning Frank Froehling II of Fort Lauderdale. Fi., 6-4, 7-6.
