Dickev Inspires Defensive Success
Defense, a questionable entity for the University of Kansas Jayhawks the last few years, has become the keynote of the 'Hawks' success in 1973.
Part of the reason for the upsurge in the effectiveness of the KU defense is the institution of the "Oklahoma" alignment. The KU's defensive team smokes defensive coordinator Jim Dickey.
Dickey is no stranger to the Big Eight and wherever he has gone he has had success. He spent 1966-1970 at Oklahoma State coaching the Cowboy secondary. In 1967

that secondary ranked fourth in the nation against the pass. He moved from Stillwater to Norman and spent two seasons with the roighty Oklahoma Sooners' defense.
**THEN IN 1973 THE 40-year-old Dickey came to Lawrence. The Jayhawk defense currently ranks second in the conference and third in the nation, pass. That combination is no coincidence.**
Dickey, who speaks in a soft slow drawl, gives credit to the "Oklahoma" defense itself, one he has been coaching for 17 years in high school and in college.

"It is designed basically to stop a wide running attack and a passing attack," he says. "It forces the opposition to run inside." He suggests an important single matter for us to make adjustments.
The rapport Dickey has with his players is obvious. After the Kansas State game, Dickey roamed the locker room searching out his players, slapping them on the back, shaking hands and fitting right in with them.

'Night Watch' Rich with Suspense

Do you believe in Elizabeth Taylor? Joseph E. Levine and the makers of Brut (as in cologne) are willing to bet you do. In Shakespeare, he takes a whole movie, "Night Watch," on it.
Brut sponsors the movie. Brut also expounds the notion that the American public loves to identify with a life of wealth full of luxury, and an attitude of maids, mads and, not incidentally, perfumes.
Such a life has to appeal to the audience of the movie. As the lifestyle's prime representative in the movie, Liz Taylor has the ability to convince. If she doesn't, the movie doesn't work.
Slo Liz Taylor, the paragon of flamboyant richness, is placed in British luxury. The setting is clever; it allows for a European style of living along with the familiarity of England.
WITHIN THE GENRE of the murder
mystery, there is an often used premise that the main character knows what is going on but is unable to convince anyone else. Part of the suspense is to see whether anyone will ever believe the character and relieve the tension because he is only imagining the whole situation.
If the movie is to succeed, the audience

must sympatize with the main character and want someone to believe his story, no matter what twists are used to resolve the situation.
THE MOVIE'S EXCITEMENT comes primarily from Levine's skillful use of suspense tactics. The music and background sounds add intensity to the movie. There are sudden loud noises and some wonderfully startling corpse.
The only reason offered for anyone to sympathize with Taylor is her style and the
Unless the audience cares about what happens to Taylor, however, there can be no real suspense. Her screams and cries will be annoying. By the end of the movie, it won't matter how the situation is resolved as long as it shuts her up.
Dickey's main responsibility, has shown the greatest improvement. The Jayhawk deep men have picked off a league-leading 15 and have put passing passers to a saint 127 games a game.
It can be enjoyable to get lost in all the satin, wine, cars and money. However, the enjoyment won't last for the whole movie—you're a believer in Elizabeth Tavier.
Dickey says the improvement stems from the responsibilities given the secondary management.
"I KNOW THAT if I played deep in a three secondary all day and just covered my knees, I'm playing on a baseball game--very boring," he says. "In our system the deep men have to support on runs but still must maintain that deep security by keeping everything in front."
Dickey is married and has three children,
It is obvious that he is a family man when he
watches his wife.
"We've been real lucky in the places we've coached," he says.

and Dickey's involvement with football does extend to his family. Darrell, the coach's 13-year-old son, is a ball boy for the team. He also plays field almost every day with his father.
Regan said yesterday the committee had asked the legislature for $570,000 in state funds to supplement federal money the committee would receive in January.
DICKEY SAYS that the University of Oklahoma, his former team, will be good this year, but says there is no question who he is going to pour for.
Crime Funds Need State OK
Regan said the GCCA wouldn't be able to spend any of the federal money until the legislature approved the state's share, which could come as late as March.

It has provided grants to the University of Kansas, he said, for a consumer affairs radio program and to the Kansas State Pentientate for inmate counseling.
The GCCA also finishes officer training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Academy and promotes seminars for judges, prosecutors and clerks.
Under the Crime Control Act of 1973, the federal government provides 90 per cent of the cost when a state appropriates 10 per cent for the improvement of state courts, correctional and law enforcement facilities. The state's 10 per cent is divided equally
Regan, who spoke at a law enforcement seminar at the Lawrence Public Library, said the GCCA had spent $19.4 million since its inception in 1969.
The state's 10 per cent is divided equally between state and local governments.
Lure That Game-Winning Duck
"The people who are paying you are the ones who get your backing." he says.
But, Dickey says, he is somewhat responsible for OU's talent because he recruited a number of the people now playing for the Sooners.
DUCK HUNTERS
Dickey is the defensive coordinator which means he is the man who makes the final defensive decisions. But he doesn't consider himself "boss."
"Mike Sweatman (defensive end coach), George Bernhardt (interior line coach) and Ken Blue (linebacker coach) are tremendous football coaches," he says. "I just try to get everybody's ideas together and have a game plan within our system of defenses."
If the last six game plays work anything like the first five, Dickey should be able to play. But he doesn't.
