12 Friday, September 15, 1978 University Daily Kansan Javhawks face Huskies' shower of stars By LEON UNRUH Share Editor Chances are that rain clouds will obcile Seattle's bluest skies. But it could be worse. Head coach Bud Moore and his Jayhawks may have to put up with both the rain and the stars when KU meets Washington tomorrow afternoon. The stars come in quite a constellation—the shape of a best-of-show Husky. Twenty of the 2 starters on this year's team队 led up for the Rose Bowl. One became a nastier team, and another became a hero of sorts by making 22 tackles in the season opener last week. It's the first game ever between KU, ranked 15th in the syndicated "bottom 20" and Washington, 19th in both the top and bottom twenties after their 10-7 loss to Robert "Spider" Gaines, who was the bowl receiving champ, didn't make a catch against UCLA. But teaming with juco transfer quarterback Tom Porras, who completed nine of 15 with two interceptions in the rain, he might get started against KU's sometimes porous secondary. lumbaker Michael Jackson, a 220-pound senior, was somebody's national player of the week twice and the Pac-8 player three times last year. He's the one with 22 tattoos. The Huskies, picked in the preseason top 10, run out of the I-formation and have a 3-4 defensive alignment anchored by tackle Dour Martin. Washington's coach, Don James, was KU freshman, coach in 1965-71 when he was earning his master's degree in education. The other Kansas connection is nose guard Stafford Mays, who lists his birthplace as Lawrence. Moore isn't ready to predict an upset against a team that reputedly is stronger than Texas A&M, which last week wiped KU7-30. But after a week of cleaning up the offense which gained only 137 total yards, he savels he expects better. "I thought we had a good practice—a pretty good practice," he said yesterday, capping a week of "good practices." made until tomorrow. If he starts, in his place will be Jimmy Little, a former split end who was replaced by reserve David Verser. question about whether the 'Hawks deserved their Bottom 20 "blessing." "Whoever uses up their time making that poll must have a great deal to do in life," he said. Senior fullback Max Ediger, who last year started as a replacement for the injured John Campbell, will sit out his second straight. Sam Smith, an onshore snapper, will start again. Smith, a onshore snapper, will start again. "Polls are important—vitally important. I realize that. We just interested in getting people involved." Moore had a blunt statement after a Sports "Some of our injured people moved a little better today," he said. "I hope by Saturday Greg Smith, who re-twisted an ankle this week, will return to the line-up at left tackle. Mike Beal, a senior who started last week in place of tackle John Odell, will do so again In Jeff Hines' backfield, freshman Dan Wagner may open at tailback after moving from wingback Monday. He could replace Tracy Levy, but the final decision won't be Jeff Hines Jimmu Little Game time is 3:30 p.m. QUILTED COIL MATTRESS & BOX SPRINGS Pay*Less FURNITURE 9th & Iowa Hillcrest Shopping Ctr Tomorrow Have a country rockin' good time with POTT COUNTY PORT PORK & BEAN BAND Kick up your heels and come on down Only $2.00 General Admission $1.50 for members 7th Spirit balcony FREE at 12:30 River City Jazz Band The TONITE-JUSTUS Laurence Opera House Next weekend— COLE TUCKEY Hillel Presents A Grand Slam Weekend Friday Sept 15th 7:30 pm Creative Shabbat Service & Israeli Dancing Refreshments following service Lawrence Jewish Community Center 917 Highland Drive Saturday Sept. 16th 11:00-5:00 pm Swim Party Free Saturdav Niaht Naismith Hall 1800 Naismith Dr. Saturday Night Sept. 16th 7:00 pm & 9:00 pm NOW SHOWING "Deliverance' starring Burt Reynolds Sunday Sept. 17th 7:00-10:00 pm Dyche Auditorium (Adjacent to Union) Admission $1 00 members - $150 non members Tickets sold at door Coffee House Featuring Barry Bernstein, Pokie/Blues Guitarist Admission 50' members = $1,00 non-members Refreshments will not be served Lawrence Jewish Community Center It happens with Hillel!
