Defense Still Untested After Win
By GARY ISAACSON

Believe it or not, University of Kansas football coach Den Bambrough isn't still a big part of the team.
"But we really haven't been tested yet," Farbrough said yesterday.
KU so far has beaten Washington State

University, a team sometimes ranked in the nation's top 20, and Florida State, a state that pasted the 'Hawks 30-7 in 1971 and 44-22 in 1972.
But that doesn't mean that the Jayhawk head man hasn't been at least a little impressed with the play of Dean Zook, Don Goode & Co.
"ANY TIME YOUR team holds its first two opponents to a total of 40 yards on the ground, you have to be encouraged," he said.
Hodges Mitchell, the Seminoles' outstanding tailback who gained 130 yards in last year's game, was held to a nearly one-for-one finish by the entire NFC Rushing attack gained 17 yards.
"I know it's an old cliche," Fambrough said, "but it was a team effort. It would be really tough to pick out a single player as a stand-out."
In this instance, the team-effort line proved true as the heat, 89 degrees at game time, and forced Fambrough to play everybody he had brought with him.
Farnham said he was pleased with the play of Jeff Turner, Prichard, Ala., junior defensive end, and sophomore cornerback Steve Taylor. Both picked off Seminole passes. Taylor shared his in the KU endzone during the second quarter to snuff out the
FSU's only serious scoring threat of the FRUC.

Del Williams, 185 yards in two games
"WE ARE CONCERED about the fact that we had eight chances to capitalize on their mistakes and didn't take advantage of them." Fambrough said. "but we are encouraged by the improvement the offense bas made since last week."
The offense did pick up 367 yards, Delvin Williams, a tailback from Houston.
Tex., gained 89 yards on 15 carries and scored KU's first-half touchouts on runs of 24 and seven yards. Dave Jaynes, who finished the day with 15 of 28 passes completed for 158 yards, hit flanker Bruce Adams and freshman running back Lavurne Smith with scoring tosses in the fourth quarter.
Williams has picked up 185 yards in the 'Hawks first two games, showing flashes of the potential that injury had dulled in previous seasons.
In the bad news department, the 'Hawks have lost another player for the season. Junior running back Billy Riggs, in for one play Saturday, broke his ankle and

THE HAWKS BEGIN preparations today for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Gophers defeated North Dakota Saturday, 41-14, to even their record at 1-1. They did it with a crunching ground game that gained them another win, drew only three passes, corrugating none.
"Basically, they are a running offense team," he said. "They didn't have to leave. E.Fambourg said."

They are against us to call you when they got behind," the head coach said, "so we will have to ready for both the run and the pass."
Bron, Kansas City, Mo. senior, said he has more variety in his responsibilities at his job than his former position.
North Dakota threw for 219 yards against the Gophers' young, inexperienced secondary, which could be easy pickings for the KU attack. But the KU attack would remain balanced.
“WE HOPE WE don't have to go heavily to the pass because that's what got us into trouble last year,” Fambrough said. “We are striving to get that offensive balance, if we get into trouble we're going to do the thing we feel we do best, and that is press.”
The gambles paid off in the Florida State game. Each picked off an errant Seminole
Tennessee, currently ranked 10th nationally, is the KU foe after Minnesota. But Fambrough says there is little chance for a win because he will be looking past the Gobsters to the Yolls.
"We have a lot of respect for them, when we were there last year," he said.
The 'Hawks won in 1972, 34-28, but couldn't ever put Minnesota away.
Hank Needs 2 More But Bat Gets Heavier
"That extra man in the secondary makes so much difference," Taylor said. "With one guy deep on every play it gives a corral and gets a better look at the game, a little more for an interception."
By ED SHEARER Associated Press Reporter
HOUSTON — "It's been a tiresome thing, constantly talking about Babe Ruth," said Hank Aaron, the 39-year-old Atlanta Braves star who needs only two home runs to tie the immortal Ruth's all-time record of 714.
"I just want to hurry up and get it over," said Aaron, who Saturday night smashed his 712th homer, a three-run, sixthmint blast off left-hander Dave Roberts that gave the Braves a 4-2 victory over Houston.
"I can't recall a day this year or the last part of the season when I did not hear the Habe Raku show."
"Certainly. I would like to get it over with,
because I want to go up there and press
for home runs."
Aaron said he had always thought his chances were good to break the record this
New Defense Sets Deep Men 'Free'

A year ago, the Jayhawks stood 1-1 but now sport a 2-0 record. The big difference has been the change in defenses from last year. In 1972, KU operated from a 4-4 alignment that put a tremendous amount of pressure on the Hawk cornerbacks and safeties.
Defense. defense. The echoes of the crowd can be heard throughout the stadium.
**Definition:**
Switching to a 6-24 alignment this year has allowed each member of the secondary row to get the same amount of gamble more for the interception. The results have been rewarding—eight pass interceptions in two games for Rocky Bron, Kurt Knoff and Steve Taylor, the secondary row.
These rushing statistics, however, have overshadowed the outstanding performance of the team.

And defense has been the word that describes the University of Kansas football team so far this year. The 'Hawk defenders have been stung in their first two games, yielding only eight points and a net 40 yards rushing.
"The new defense allows us to play more zone coverage," Taylor said, "and this lessens the response of covering a base." And the response is we. We just have to cover, and this makes it easier for us."
Taylor, Fort Worth, Tex., sophomore, cornerback, said the big difference in the team was the ability of his offense.
Atlanta had five home games remaining following yesterday's clash with Houston in the Astrodome. The Braves are idle today, open a three-game series with Lox Angeles tomorrow and end the season next weekend with a two-game set with the Astros.
Aaron planned to sit out yesterday's game at Houston, although he was available for pitch hitting. It's standard procedure him to skip a day game following a night game.
year, one he has called "the Cadillac of baseball records."
Aggressiveness has been more evident in the play of the secondary Bron said. More gambles can be made, and this applies pressure to the quarterback.
However, he added, "My chances of breaking it this year don't look too good."
Knopf perhaps illustrates best the reason for the abrupt change in one year.
"We are more active at the position," Knoff said. "People are moving to the ball on each play. It gives us a chance to play more recklessly. We can gamble interested and force the quitter back to the big mistake. It's more fun playing this way."
The players readily admit that the calibre of the competition has not been as high as it may have been in a previous year.
it was suggested to Aaron that he could possibly move into a tie with Ruth in one game since he already has belted two or more home runs in a game 61 times during his major league career, now in its 20th season.
provement in each game. "Bron said, "and hope that by the time the league competition closes, we will have enough."
"Being from Minnesota, I know they have a history of having strong running games," Knoff said. "Last year they were second in the Big Ten in rushing. They will have some success against us but will need a balanced attack if they want to stay in the game. We'll do that by passing situations, and then we can go to work and get more interceptions."
Looking to this week's opponent, Minnesota, Knoff, a Minnesota from East Grand Forks, said he thought the Golden Gophers could establish a running game at the outset.
"We're striving for continual im-
