Wattelet pressing for job
By GARY BEDORE
Sports Writer
Frank Wattelie may not get his baptism into college (oath) this Saturday before 48,000 fans at Texas A & M, but not be surprised if the Abilene freshman move into the KU starting line-up by the end of the season.
**1.** meet 6 foot, 18-350 grade of atlanta High School is KU's number two punter and has impressed enough coaches to them begin talking about a potential.
BUT WATTELET has to win the job first.
KU's number one punter is Mike Hubach, who also does the Jayhawks' place kicking. The KU coaches basically agree that having one punter and one place kicker would be better than having Hubach do all the work himself.
"I think that is the ideal situation, but I don't object to using one man at both positions," head coach Bud Moore said. "Hubach is our punter until someone beats him out, and it hasn't happened yet."
Assistant coach Don Blackwelder said that KU might work Wattelet into the punting job slowly.
punching. "We're pleased at what he's done in practice," Blackweiler said, "but we want to see him in a game situation."
Wattelte's only punting experience was at Ablone, 80 students strong, but he said that playing before a Texas A & M crowd of almost 50,000 would not be.
"ID BE a little nervous, but I wouldn't let it hinder me," Watelet said. "like being under pressure; it's when I feel I can perform the best."

Wattelte was one of the best players on an Abilene team that went 10-4 last season. He was second-team All-State guard in the national backer in addition to his pusting duties.
At KU, Wattelet is playing secondteam safety in addition to punting.

"I was recruited as a quarterback, but they moved me to the secondary because we lacked depth there." Wattet said. "They also planned on me being a punter. Coach Blackwelder sent me kicking workouts all summer."
WATTELET SAID that he went to a nearby football field and punited about 50 to 60 times a night during the summer.
He had his father, a former Pittsburg State University football player, working out with him. Wattet said that his
"He tells me to be as good as I can," the younger Wattelte said. "He tells me that to be all-Big Eight you have to work hard."
father also has coached high school football for 11 years, and has given him a good deal of advice.
Playing both safety and punter has Wattette played hard. He said that he does not mind playing more than one position.
"IF YOU can play a lot of positions, it helps you make the team," he said. "I want to do what's best for the team, and if that means only being a punter, that's all."
great.
"It wouldn't bother me at all to be known as the best putter KU's had in a few years," he said.
The switch from high school to college ball also has caused some adjustment by Wattelet.
"There's a comparison between the two," he said. "You've got to learn quick or you won't play here, and you have to forget high school and have an open
HE SAID that Blackwelder, the kicking coach, has helped him.
"Everybody has his own style and as along as I'm kicking good, he hasn't changed me," Wattelle said. "He's been quicker, quicker and tells me to kick it."
Wattelt said he has some goals for the upcoming season and his KU career.
"I want to make the traveling squand and get to play a little bit this year," he said. "What I really want is to play on a team, so we think the whole team feels that way."
