Hicks voted best lineman in Big 8
A late switch from middle guard to linebacker took nothing from the defensive savvy of KU's Emery Hicks.
The 5-foot-11, 230-pound junior was voted Big Eight Lineman-of-the-Week by the UPI. Hicks was credited with seven unassisted tackles and three assists in the Jayhawks' 47-7 rout of Illinois.
Coach Pepper Rodgers calls Hicks "as quick as Granville Liggins and as strong as Wayne Meylan," comparing him to the All-American middle guards of last year.
Hicks was moved to linebacking duty just a week before the Illinois game, with 5-11, 174-pound Pat Hutchens going to cornerback and 6-1, 214-pound junior college transfer Al Jakobic to middle guard.
Hicks edged a pair of sophomores—Kansas State defensive end John Acker and Nebraska linebacker Jerry Murtaugh—in the balloting by newsmen.
Acker, a 5-10 and 205-pounder, played a key role in K-State's 21-0 victory over Colorado State—the Wildcats' first
FIRST BLOOD
MORGANTOWN, Ky. — (UPI!)
The first blood shed in Kentucky during the Civil War was spilled two miles west of here in Butler County. Granville Allen, of the 17th Kentucky Infantry, was killed Oct. 27, 1861, in a skirmish between the Blue and the Gray within a few miles of his home.
shutout since 1955. His six unassisted tackles prompted assistant coach Bob Frazier to call Acker's "the greatest start for a sophomore."
Murtaugh broke up one pass and helped on six tackles as Nebraka's defense throttled Utah, 31-0. Coach Bob Devaney said Murtaugh graded the highest of any Husker lineman.
Also nominated for the honor were Tom Dearinger, Oklahoma State offensive end; George Dimitri, Iowa State defensive tackle; Mike Schnitker, Colorado defensive end; Jim Anderson, Missouri offensive tackle, and Steve Zabel, Oklahoma offensive end.
Soccer starts its 1968 season at KU. possibly next week.
KU soccer team to start 1968 practice
KU's Soccer Club has met informally for some practices. Official practice starts this week, said Herve Penzec, assistant instructor of French and Italian, and one of the team organizers.
Since the team does not belong to a conference it plays a flexible schedule. Three games are tentatively scheduled for this year, two with K-State and one with Saint Benedicts College, according to Henry Shenk, professor of physical education and Soccer Club advisor.
Last season the soccer team lost two of the eight games it played, against Park College and the Kansas City Kickers.
The athletic department gives no financial support to soccer at KU.
Were soccer interest to grow meaningfully in the next two to
three years, Wade Stinson, athletic department director, said financial aid would be considered but that he considers financial support to soccer highly improbable.
The Soccer Club does have a small budget allocation from the University, according to Shenk. He said anybody interested in playing with the team should go to room 122, Robinson Gymnasium, Wednesday at 4:30, or contact him. Any KU student is eligible to play.
KU's soccer team has displayed an international lineup in the past. Shenk attributs the
small number of American players to the minor role soccer has played in American sports.
According to Penzec more Americans have showed up this year than in the past, about one third of the team. *
