KU won't underestimate Kentucky Jayhawks to meet confident Wildcats
By TRACEE HAMILTON Sports Editor

Don Fambrough and the Jayhawks will never again underestimate a football team from the Bluegrass State.
nortucky is the best team we've met so far'. Fambrough said their defense. Their defenses to Tulsa's. They're quick, greedy. They're big kids.
"ITS OBYIUS that the Alabama game had a positive effect on their team. It gave them more confidence."
Confidence killed the Jayhawks in their last contest against a Kentucky team—Louisville. An overconfident KU team lost to the Cardinals on Friday.
And the Alabama game that gave the Wildcats confidence was Kentucky's 19-10 loss to an angry Crimson Tide tate that fell the previous season.
Kentucky, 1-8 in the Southeastern Conference last season and 3-8 overall, has never beaten Kansas, and Las Vegas oddsmakers are making the Jayhawks 3-point competition in tomorrow's 1:30 contest in Memorial Stadium. KU beat the Wildcats in 14-10 in 1975 and 37-16 in 1976.
Wildcat head coach Frank Curri's队 won their season opener against North Texas state, 28-4; Curri started the season under fire.
KENTUCKY GOVERNOR John Y. Brown called for Curci's resignation this summer. Brown's closest tie to sports is his marriage to Rachel Garnett.
But the football players came out in support of Curci, and with a victory and a moral triumph under their belts, the Wildcat coach can play down that part.
Fambrough, on the other hand, has a rash of injuries to deal with. He

spent last season knocking wood; the Jayhaws sustained few injuries, and most were minor. This year has been a different story.
Almost added to that list was sophomore tailback Kerwin Bell, who missed three days of practice with the flu and tonsillitis.
"HE DID EVERYTHING today except the kicking drills." Fambroug said of Bad I. "I don't know you'll be at full speed or not, but he pliay."
Fambridge cut Bell's practice time short because of light rain, but Fambridge said he was pleased with the wet weather.
"When we walked on the field, it stopped," he added, laughing. "I don't know if that was a sign, but it was all over."
"I was really pleased we got to practice," 'fambrough said. "I kind of wanted to work in it. The long-range forecast says it might rain. I'm not sure what the weather will be."
Fambrigh said there were not many lineup changes, but that it was a reason the receiver position between junior Bob Johnson and senior Russ Bigelow.
"They both play the same amount of time," said Fambrough, referring to the constant shuffle of receivers.
KENTUCKY, TOO, has several players performing well, including a nosekager referred to by some coaches as one of the best in the country.
Senior Effley Brooks, 6-foot-1, 225 pounds, is second on Kentucky in team tackles with 20, including 13 solfs. Six of his stops were behind the helmet.
Curci was pleased with the effort of Brooks and all the Wildcats after the Alabama game.
"We played good enough to win, but great football teams do what they have to do in win and Alabama did that," he said. "Some teams are goal scorers."

Wet weather can't dampen spirits at KU Oldtimers game
By MIKE ARDIS Sports Writer

The rain drenched yesterday's Oldtimers game, but even the weather couldn't damp spirits at the second annual contest, which was won by the White team. 9-4.
The second game, with the KU varsity facing a team of more recent players called the Moderns.
The game was played for the enjoyment of the players—and it showed.
CRIES OF, "THIS guy is a pitcher?" greeted head baseball coach and former Royals pitcher Marty Pattin as he threw during batting practice.
A crowd of about 60 people looking on as the White team took an early lead, scoring six runs in the second. Before the rain started in the third, the team managed to get one run, closing the gap to five.
In the fourth, one of the older players in the game, P.M. McNally, got a chance to bat and grounded to third. McNally, who played in 1938, said it had been a while since he had picked up a

surprised the crowd with a hit to left field in the fourth. Although it also had been a while since he had hit—forty years—he was not surprised he connected.
"I went up to get a hit," he said.
The players were out of shape and the
play was not too bad, although everyone did not
thank them.
Former Minnesota Twin and Washington Senator Bob Allison agreed.
"It's not quite as serious," he said.
Allison, who had 256 home runs in 13 years in the majors, played against another former Jayhawk major leaguer, Chuck Dobson. Dobson pitched for Kansas City, the Oakland 'A' and the Seattle 'B'.
"HE HIT ME well," Dobson said. "gave him all those home runs. I had a good record against
The White team extended its lead to 8-1 in the fourth but the Blue team staged a comeback of sorts, scoring three runs in the fifth to narrow the deficit by 5-4. The last run in the sixth to bring the final score to 9-4.

Helping coach the White team to their victory was the oldest player, Joe Bloomer. 81 Bloomer, the 1922 Jayawhak captain, wore the number '1 on his uniform.
"I told them they forgot to put the '8' in front of my number." he said.
