for 4 p.m.
One key to the wishbone offense-
experience—could be the difference in the game. Kansas returns five offensive star
ers from last year, compared to seven for the Aguites.
the Argentas. They individually they have to be among the best teams in the nation," KU head coach Bid Moore said. "They were among the best last year, and everyone is back."
The Aggeri 'backfield returns intact, with David Walker at quarterback, George Woodard at fullback, and David Brothers and Curtis Dinkey at halfback.

Woodward may be the Jayhaws' biggest concern. One of the biggest players on the Angie's roster, weighing 265 pounds, Woodard rushed for 1,133 yards last year. He led the Southwest Conference in scoring with 102 points on 17 touchdowns.
"GEORGE WOODARD may be the most imposing runner I've ever seen," Moore said. "I can't think of anyone with the combined size and speed you see in Dickie complements him well. They have power up the middle and speed to the outweigh."
Dickey is a a 2-8, 200-pound sophomore from Madisonville, Tex. Last year he gained 724 yards and was named freshman of the year in the SWC.
"Their passing game is good," Moore said. "David Walker is a proven winner. He has all the physical tools and the experience to go with it. You can't beat that combo."
Walker is a three-year letterman who started the last six games of the 1976 season. After a 3-2 start, Walker gained an 8-14 victory in Florida, including a 9-14 victory over Florida in the Sun Bowel.
TEXAS A & M's offensive line is anchored by All-America candidates Mark Dennard and Frank Meyers. Dennard, a 6-2, 200-pound senior center, earned honorable mention All-America last year. Meyers, a 6-5, 258-pound senior, was All-SW at tackle.
"I THINK WE'RE ready." A & M coach Emory Bellard said yesterday from College Station. "We've had good practices and the players have a good attitude. All the things you normally expect them to do, they've done. We're ready."
KU coach Bud Moore announced yesterday that sophomore running back Boby Barrow would start at halfback in the loss to Arkansas and suffered a hyperextended knee two weeks ago in practice and will not make the trip. Fallback Norris Banks, halfback Mike Sloan, and backup Jordan complete the starting backfield. Only Banks was a full-time starter last year.
Moore also announced freshman Augusta Kyles would start at tight end.
Bellard said, "KU is a hard-nosed football team. They have a strong running game and a tough, aggressive defense. We have a lot of respect for KU."
THE TWO TEAMS have met only once before. The Jayhawks upset the fourth-ranked Aggies, 28-10, in Lawrence three years ago.
Juco transfer may sign soon
Cheeter Giles, a 6-10 center who led Independence Junior College to the national JUCO last spring, is in Lawrence and is believed to be close to signing a national letter-of-intent to play basketball for the Jayhawks.
Giles, who was selected the most valuable player in the JUCO national tournament in Hutchinson last spring, originally signed with Loyola of Chicago, but that agreement is not binding because Loyola does not participate in NCAA recruiting guidelines.
