Frosh Depend on Pass
With a fine crop of receivers
and terbaracks, the 1972 University
Kansas freshman football squad
hopes to improve last year's 0-4
According to Dick Foster, head coach of the frost squad, the young Jayhawks should be able to win.
"Right now it looks as if we have a sound ball team,"队ster said. "Our schedule this year should also be a help to the players." Instead of playing Oklahoma first, we play them last.
The four-game freshman schedule has the squad traveling to Missouri Sept. 29 and Kansas State Oct. 13. Their last two games, which will be with Oklahoma State Oct. 27 and Oklahoma Nov. 6.
FOSTER SAID last year's schedule had much to do with the team's poor showing. The Jahawks played Oklahoma in their first contest and had nine players on roster, but was just one of the places the Sooners hurt KU. Oklahoma also rolled to a 13-18 victory.
"The kids on the Oklahoma squares square up with the players of our队伍," Foster said. "They have been practicing much more before their first game."
The fresh rebounded in their next two games to stay close to Oklahoma State, but still came out on the short ends by identification 7-6 scores. In their last game with Oklahoma State in the playoffs, Oklahoma was humiliated by the Cowboys' 47-33.
DESPITE THE bleak overall picture, there were some bright spots for the freshmen in 1971 and 1980. We started for the varsity this season.
Steve Tieble (6-3, 228), a linebacker who figures to be a major cog in the Jayhawk defense this year, led the fresh with 42 tacks, including seven on the line for 42 yards in losses.
Dean Baird (61, 204) was the third linebacker on the freshman quarterback placed him behind only two and six of those were behind the line for 23 yards. He also tumbled and deflected three passes.

ACCORDING TO FOSTER, the freshman squad will be weak in the offensive line, but he said the team would make up for this shortcoming.
"With our receivers and quarterbacks, we will definitely be a passing team," said Foster.
Two of the more promising receivers on the freshman team are, from left, 18-foot 5-10 Minnesota star, and Steve Taylor (6-4, 205) for Fort Worth.
Nine freshmen will be competing for the quarterback spot. Among them will be Paul Bower
(60, 175), all-state quarterback from Saint Joseph of Shawnee, and Scott McMichael (63, 180) from Shawnee Mission North.
Other standouts on the squad are Steve Elliot, running back from Lawrence; and Ben Dahlack, back from Shawnee Mission North; Charlie Masters, a big tackles from Burlingame, and Nick Bolton, a linebacker from Lawrence.
THE TRAINING of KU freshmen from most college programs. At KU the emphasis is put on the adjustment of living with a family.
The players are also required to attend hall halls five times a week. Last year the KU robb had 249 points and 16 rebounds on any big Eight bright freshman soud.
"This type of training does hurt in the playing ability at first," Foster said. "But in the long run it makes up for it."
Foster said he thought this training was more valuable to the program. Last year ten men participated in the variety during spring drills.
