Freshman learning fast

Jeff Hines has come a long way in two short weeks at the University of Kansas
Hines, the 'Jayhawks' freshman quarterback from Colorado, started the season behind Mark Vicendesse, Brian Bettek and Justin McKenna in action last Saturday night against the UCLA Bruins and impressed KU coaches so much that he is batting Bettek for the starting position against the Washington State Courts.
Hines said he came to KU because he wanted to start his football career early.
The battle will occur only if Wicencoe has not completely recovered from a pulled hamstring. It was the quarterback out of the line since the A& M game.

But Hines likes the idea of being able to play as a freshman.
"I REALLY wanted to play and I didn't know Brian Bethek was going here," Hines said. "At the start of the year, I thought maybe I'd only make J.V. (junior varisity) or third team. I didn't expect to be playing so soon."

"I have to get experience sometime."
he said. "I feel the sooner I get the opportunity, the better."
In the fourth quarter, when KU was losing 17-7, Hines took over for Bethek. The ball was at the KU 48-yard line. Hines marched the Jayhawks toward the Brains' 18-yard line, but he costly missed KU Lues the chance for a touchdown.

THE 4-FOOT-3, 159-pound freshman again led the Jahawks to the Bruins' 10-yard line late in the game, but the drive was stopped when KU was stopped short of first down.
"He did well for the first time out," Gary Ruteble, assistant football coach, said. "But of course he had the fumble, which was his fault.
"We hope he will learn; he has good speed and a good arm and appears to be smart out there."
hines' fumble could be attributed to freshman nervousness, but Hines doesn't agree with that.

"I was nervous," Hines said. "I get more nervous doing things like interviews.
"I knew I'd get to play, but I wasn't so sure when it got to the fourth quarter and the game was close."
the game was over.
He said his first outing was important because it helped to gain his teammates' confidence.
"IFS IMPORTANT for the guys to know what you can do," he said. "When I first got in, they asked me to speak up a little."

His high school ran the wishbone formation his first two years but changed to the Veer formation his last two years.
"My first two years we had a good backpack and r wash the wristbelt," he said. "But we had quick backs my junior and I was able to decided to run the Jeans and pass more."
Because he is from Colorado, Hines was recruited by the University of Colorado Buffaloes. His parents suggested he consider staying close to

"My parents wanted to see me play as much as they could," he said. "But they wanted me to go where I would be happy
"The coaches have been good here and have encouraged me a lot."
Some of the quarterback spotlight may be shining on the freshman from Colorado, but Hines is confident the Jayhawks still can have a success
searer.
"The defense is doing a good job," he said. "If we can put some points on the board, we'll be okay."
Injuries still cloud KU picture
As if thinking about Washington State's star quarterback isn't enough for a coach to worry about, Bud Moore, KU head coach, has spent some restless nights this week pondering the Jayhaws' injury situation.
Halfback Bill Campfield has been out for the past two games recovering from a hyper-extended knee, and his return is a day-to-day basis for Saturday's game.
"I wish knew what Campfield's situation was," Moore said. "I'd sleep better if I
knew; he looked worse today than yesterday."
Moore at least can rest easier knowing that Mike Beal, defensive tackle, will be able to fight against the 18th-ranked Bearl. Bearl has allowed his last week in the UCLA game.
Safety Leroy Irvin may or may not play
surely. Irvin did Irwin suffer some bumps and bruises but Irwin did not.
MOORE SAID Harry Murphy had changed positions again, this time to middle linebacker. Murphy already had played outside linebacker and tight end this season.
"Murphy hadn't been making the progress we had hoped for," Moore said. "He came to see me the other day and said he'd like to try middle linebacker.
"He has the quickness and strength to
help him carry hisarry, and I will
help to help him place a place on it.
Moore was pleased with yesterday's team effort.
"We had a better practice today, particularly defensively," he said. "We concentrated more on our kicking game than previously."

The Koyaui win was their own in use as they knew, but they didn't celebrate afterward.
"Hell, how can you get excited and celebrate here in the dressing room," Brett laughed. "We don't even have champagne here."
