Gary Isaacson Friday, September 7, 1973 5 Jayhawks Picked to Win Opener of a thepir mill 000 ll," iiil the war of aiver ter arity party jor not When a football team opens at home, the coaches and players like to have a weaker opponent to impress the fans and boost their confidence. Boasts are at least somewhat valid. That truism backfired last year when the Kansas Yankees jaunched against the Washington State Cougars for 33,600 yards. A big difference was that I didn't begin here, is here a little recap. The 'Hawks, behind the passing arm of then junior David Jaynes, rolled to a 14- halftime lead and everything looked rosy. But two KU fumilies that led to 18 fourth quarter points by the Cougars sent Kansas on its way to a less than mediocre Well, it's that time again and Kansas will take the field against WSU next week in an attempt to avenge that 18-17 debacle of last year. The Cougars finished 7-4 in 1972 and were frequently ranked among the country's top 20 teams. All reports out of their headquarters this year's team is highest in the recent two years. Leading the Cougars will be senior tailback Ken Granberry. He rushed for 164 yards in 15 carries against the 'Hawks last year and needs only 321 yards to become Washington State's all-time leading ground gainer. But the Courage offense as of now has no guiding hand. T Ypaine, who passed for 128 yards in the 1972 game has graduated and Sweeney has yet to find a replacement for T Ypaine for the game. Mitchell and Chuck Peck, Paine's backup man last year, are competing for the job but neither is battle tested. Their offensive line is solid but the pass receiving corps is nothing to write home about. Grandberry led WSU receivers last year with 27 catches. The Cougar defense returns seven of the starters who got tough when it counted in last year's game. Senior tackle Greg Craighead anchors the line and Jaynes will have to contend with standout safety Mike Carter and Eric Johnson in the secondary. KU umassed 566 yards last year, 401 coming on David Jaynes' pass, but the sports 'Hawkins couldn't put the ball over the goal line. Head coach Don Fambrough has said that this year's attack will be more balanced. Delvin Williams and Robert Hammond, who would be supported by flashy freshman Calvin Prince and Layurve Smith. The passing game is a proven weapon with returning receivers Bruce Adams and Emmett Edwards KU's defense, which was about as effective as a sieve last year, looks to be much improved but is still untested. Linebackers Steve Towle, who is picked conference honors, and Dean Bardat have the best in recent years by Farnbrough. The defensive secondary, which ranked second to last in the Big Eight last year, has been bolstered by two fast backs, Jim David and James Bowman. two fast games, David and James Bowman. When you boll it all down, the game will be a contest between the defenses. Whether the WSU defense can prevent three days from having another big day and whether the coach can hold Grandberry and backfall Jones will determine the outcome. I'm betting that KU has improved more than the Cougars. The score?

The games are sold out 72 hours in advance. The legislation would expire one year after enactment, allowing time to determine whether telecasting some home television shows will continue attendance, as some learn owners content. Meanwhile, National Football League Commissioner Pete Roseille said the league might limit its television agreement with the networks to a single game each week if Congress bans local blackouts of NFL games. Rozelle told the House communications subcommittee that the NFL would have to reconsider its television policy if Congress decides to change rules clubs begin showing an attendance decline He said televising a single, national, game-of-the-week is "far and away the most economically productive use of television by professional sports leagues.
