Gibson, Fambrough Plan Only One Game at a Time
By BRETT MARSHALL
Assistant Sports Editor
Vince Gibson leaned back in his deep purple chair, glanced out from his office window overlooking KSU Stadium in Manhattan and pondered the vast empire of his hometown filled with thousands of fans five days later when the Wildcats hosted Memphis State.
Don Fambrough bam in front of a big Jayhawk that completely dominates his office and looked across part of the University of Kansas campus. He wondered how his Jayhawk football team would find a weakness in the University of Tennessee
quad just three days before the game in Memphis.
Both coaches were concerned about their upcoming opponents then and the last thing on their minds was tomorrow's game between the Wildcats and the Jayhawks.
"Heck, we can't even think about KU!" Gibson said. "We have to play them a little bit more and not be a pect his players to keep from looking ahead to the following week's contest."
"How can you think about K-State when your next opponent is the ninth-ranked team?"
Wait, the prompt says "Maintain a consistent font and spacing throughout the document."
The word "ninth" in line 2 is clear.
The word "ranked" in line 1 is also clear.
The word "team" in line 3 is clear.
Let's re-examine the word "ninth".
It's written as "ninth".
It doesn't have any accent or special characters.
Wait, looking at the image again, the word "ninth" has a dot above it. In most documents, that dot is often used to represent a period.
So:
"How can you think about K-State when your next opponent is the ninth-ranked team?"
"Team"
"ninth"
Let's check the word "ranked".
It's written as "ranked".
It doesn't have any accent or special characters.
Wait, let me look at the word "team".
It's written as "team".
It doesn't have any accent or special characters.
Okay, I'm ready to finish the paragraph.
"How can you think about K-State when your next opponent is the ninth-ranked team?"
"Team"
"ninth">
Wait, let me look at the word "ranked".
It's written as "ranked
Fambrough agreed.
bounds of reason," he said.
"Last year we set our sights on the KU game as being the only one that meant anything." Ubeen said. "We developed better equipment for KU than the other games didn't mean a thing."
Tennis Recruiting Binge Improves KU Net Team
Kansan Sports Writer
Last May when tennis coach Mike Howard obtained the money for six additional scholarships to the University of Kansas, he went on a whirlwind recruiting
Howard's prize catches are Carlos Goffi and Steve Vann.
The Wildcats beat the Jayhawks 29-18, but after that their entire season was downhill. They finished last in the Big Eight Conference.
Goffi is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil who transferred to KU from the University of Corpus Christi in Texas. Vann is from Missouri and graduated from Missouri State before transferring to KU.
That binge paid off. Howard went after seven tennis players and got six of them. Those six players form the nucleus of the current Jawhawk squad.
"We learned a big lesson from last year," said the Wilcat coach. "A team must play each game, one at a time, or disaster will strike. We're the prime example."

Howard also recruited four outstanding
freshmen who make up the remaining part of the six-man travelling squad. They are Bill Clarke, Kansas City, Kan.; Dennis Cahill, Eagle, Wis.; Tiffany Bompkins, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Paul Waltz, Philadelphia. Roundting out the eight man are homeschoolers who John Farrar of Arkansas City, Kan; and David Derry of Kansas City, Kan.
It might seem that a team consisting of six virtual strangers would not jolt quickly, but that has not been the case. KK played well in all four games and the current Brazilian national tennis champion and has competed three times in NCAA competition, said he felt the team was playing as if it had never been.
Fambrough was more concerned about the mental preparation of his players the evening before, and they were
The early fall season results have borne
Fambrough said, "We have to be careful in a game like this." Most of the kids on both sides were playing together against each other for several weeks. We try to avoid getting them paired up too early.
Fambrough said his biggest worry was that his players might get押赚 out and make mental mistakes at the start of the game.
"There's so much involved in a rivalry we have," the "hawk head man said,
"This is the big event of the year because so many different groups are involved. This game probably receives more attention than any other we play all season."
Each man had differing views about better there is a home field advantage which he felt.
"I definitely believe there is a home field edge in the game," Fambrighau said. "When we play in Manhattan the crowd noise against us is tremendous. We have to prepare ourselves for the crowd reaction and that just adds pressure."
"Lawrence has so many Wildcat fans and vice-versa that I don't think it matters where the game is played," said Gibson. "We have 10,000 to 15,000 fans in Lawrence."
Gibson, on the other hand, said there was
very little home field advantage.
"We've played three times in Lawrence since I've been here," noted Gibson, "and I have had so much to do first year we lost to them 17 and that was when they had Bobby Douglass and Co. This is why I don't think there is a homefield there. There's just too much emotion involved."
Gibson and Fambrough, did agree, however, on their preparations for the contest. Both said there weren't any changes in their teams' practice because it would only upset the routine that they had established throughout the season.
It would seem apparent that in a rivalry such as the one between the 'Cats and the 'Hawks that their respective coaches would be bitter rivals also. But that's not so.
"At one time I hoped KU would lose every game they played" Gibson said, "but now I'm glad to see them win because it adds prestige to the Big Eight Conference."
"We want this to be a healthy rivalry," said Faribault, "not one that will give the game more life."
One of the biggest controversies of the rivalry occurred in last year's game at MGM.
KU scored a touchdown in the third quarter to pull within one point at 20-19. Fambrigh elected to go for the two point conversion and the victory. His strategy failed when 'Hawk quarterback Dave Williams was stopped inches short of the goal line.

"It's one of those difficult decisions a
Fambridge said he decided to go for two points because of the importance of the
conference game you always go for the win but in our case last year it was tough to lose.
"In a conference game a tie can affect the standings," noted Farnbrough. "In a non-
"A tie against Kansas State accomplishes absolutely nothing," Farnham said. "In turn, the loss is just as bad."
