'Hawks look for holes in Iowa State offense
Backs return to secondary
By Rob Wheat

Football
As the setting October sun casts shadows on the browning Iowa cornfields, strange sounds can be heard in the hills, where the weather better be ready for surfing music.
Running back, blaise Bryant, a Huntington Beach, Calif., native, probably seemed out of place at first before being flapped at flipper and California attitude.
But he fit in with the Cyclones offense right from the start, and last season he became the Big Eight winner in the 2016 season, the leading soccer in the conference.
He will be leading Iowa State's offensive attack tomorrow as the Jayhawks travel to face the Cyclones. Kansas coach Glen Mason said Iowa State had one of the most balanced offenses in the Big Eight.
"We'd all like to run the ball like Oklahoma and pass like BYU, but you can't do that and so you try to do it. And you don't think I said that. I think that is what Iowa State has done. They have a great running back, but you can't ignore the pass."
Although starting quarterback
Chris Pedersen suffered a knee injury during a four-point loss to Minnesota, he still gained 336 yards of total offense in the game before he left. That performance that placed him at No. 1 in the Cyclone's single-game passing chart.
Pedersen should start in Iowa State's Homecoming game against Kansas
Kansas defensive tackle Gilbert Brown said that the defensive line knew that Pedersen might not be playing at 100 percent and that it planned to use his handcap to its advantage.
"When you come back from an injury, sometimes you're not fully recovered," Brown said. "If we can get a good hit on him and take him out of the game, it will be a big plus for our defense."
If Pedersen has to leave the game, he will be replaced by freshman Bob Utter. Iowa State coach Jim Walden will lead the team in freshman quarterback in the nation.
Utter completed 16 of 26 passes for
246 yards last week against Western
Michigan. He made his first college
passing game in Iowa and Iowa
and gained 29 in total off resistance.
Mason said Pedersen probably would play the entire game if he was healthy. Ether way, there were more chances between the two quarterbacks.
"They run a similar type of offense, but they're a little bit different in physical stature," Mason said. "They're both pretty good."
Receiver John Gloffett has been the leading receiver for the Cyclones for the third week in a row. Last week he had five receptions for 74 yards, and he had six catches for 92 yards against Iowa
He is the Cyclones' overall leading receiver with a four-game total of 17 receptions for 273 yards.
What Gloftelfy may not realize, however, is that safeties Jawson Priest and Doug Terry will return to the defensive secondary tomorrow. Mason said he did not know how much they would play.
Leading a 444-ranked Iowa State defense is inside linebacker Dan Milner. Milner was the leading tackler on the nine nacks against the Broncos.
Safety Mark DouBrava and defensive lineman Travis Block tied for second-place tacking honors last week with eight stops each.
But the Jayhawk defense also has been tough this season. It has been strongest in the second halves of games. It has given up only an average of 53 yards after halftime in its first three games.
Last season Kansas gave up an average of 210 yards rushing each game in its second halves.
But Mason said there was another statistic that still bothered him.
"We're still 1-3, " Mason said. "That's it. That's the bottom line. It really doesn't matter, first half or last half. It is still a 60-minute game."

Sophomore hitter Kim DeHoff said Iowa State was a team the Jachawks
"Iowa State and Colorado are the two teams right behind Nebraska in the conference," she said. "We definitely need to beat them."
Kansas is 9-4 and 1-1 in the conference following a tough home loss to No. 1 ranked Nebraska.
The dayhawks lost both matches against the Cyclones last year. Despite that, Coach Frankie Albiz said her team should win tomorrow.
"We should beat them." Albitz
said. "We had some injuries last year, and we're a year older now. It would be nice if we could win at their place."
Their place is the 750-seat Physical Education building. Albiz said they always had a good crowd for matches.
DeHoff described the crowd differ ently.
"They have a mean crowd," she said after Abbit's description. "Our crowd is a good crowd. What they have is usually a big, mean crowd."
the cyclones, who play tonight against Kansas State, are led by a pair of juniors, settler Lisa Burke and hitter Terry Graham.
Kansas players continue to place among the conference statistical leaders. Junior Adrian Powell toups the Knicks in a game. She leads that category by more than one dig a game. She is also six in the conference in hitting. Julie Woodruff is second in the conference in service acres and fourth in assists.

Although there will be other teams competing, cross country coach Gary Schwartz also will score the Kansas
team with Penn State like a dual this weekend at the Paul Short Invitational.
"It's mainly to add a little extra flavor." Schwartz said.
State from 1971-84, said he had a friendly rivalry with the Penn State coach
Kansas and Penn State will be among the 32 teams competing in the invitational meet put on by Lehugh University tomorrow in Bidheim, Penn.

Nine members from the Kansas men's team will compete in the 10 kilometer race, and nine women's team will compete in the 5 kilometer race.
ping will be small, the races should be very competitive, Schwartz said.
"Cross country in the East is an established sport. The size of the school doesn't necessarily relate to how good they are." Schwartz said. "The competition should be a step up from what we've seen thus far."
Even though many of schools com-
Schwartz said he was expecting strong performances from junior Cathy Palacios, sophomore Cindy Lewis, senior Patty Rochford and freshmen Rebecca Smith and Ashley Ace.
"For the women, it's going to be a real team effort," Schwartz said.
"I'd like all of our hard work to pay off," Roberts said. "We've been working really hard the last few months, we've reaching the peak of our seasm."
Sophomore Lynn Roberts, also emphasized the importance of the women working together as a team.
Roberts said she hoped to run her fastest time tomorrow, and thought it was a reasonable goal because the course was relatively flat.
Team prepares for play on turf at Creighton

Somewhere, children in a park laughed while they played, and birds sang the praises of a perfect autumn afternoon. Although campus temperatures reached 80 degrees under a heat wave, Kansas teams practice indoors yesterday.

Softball
The team practiced in Anschutz Sports Pavilion on Wednesday and yesterday as Kansas prepared to play a weekend tournament at Creighton, which has an artificial turf softball field.
"I wanted them to get to it," Kansas coach Calum Haack said. "It's not that much different than if you were sitting on your chair you off if you aren't expecting hurt."
"On the other hand, singles can turn into inside-the-park home runs. There's nothing to stop the ball once it's in the infield except the fences."
Two places that turf will make a difference are injuries and defensive strategy
"I think it outteams with great speed," he said, and "we fall into that category. We can play our best when we can come in on the ball more quickly."
Assistant coach Gayle Ludeke said the infield would also get mixed blessings from the turf.
Haack said that turf would help Kansas defensively.
"You're going to get a truer bounce from the ball," she said. "It will roll farther and bounce higher, but that's
not anything that will make us change our game strategy." No, he wasn't.
in this case.
"If we're in a bunt situation, we'll bunt. If we're in a steal situation, we'll steal." he said.
Unlike grass, turf can give a painful case of carpet injury to players who land on it — not an infrequent pheasant attack. But the defensive team like the Javahws.
"Take Kim Sacco, for instance," team trainer Melissa Bommario said of the second baseman. "Sacres do for everything. I would be really surprised if she didn't come back with some good burns."
Bommarito said that another concern would be ankle sprains.
"Sometimes you turn so quickly that your shoe doesn't come off of the ground," she said. "That can cause some real ankle problems. I'll probably tape some of them up before the shoe so they have some extra support."
Training in Anschutz works well for the team under most circumstances. A net at each end of the AstroTurf field provides a wall to pitch against or field in front of, but the net doesn't catch everything.
During Wednesday's practice, pitcher Stephan Williams was pitching to Haack when he hit the ball past the net.
"The football team was having a meeting by the chalkboard." Haack said, "and the ball hit a box right in the middle of them."
How did the Kansas football team react to attacking softballs?
"They put on their helmets," Haack said.

The men's tennis team opened its season yesterday with a tournament in Wichita, and the women's tennis team will start its season with a tournament in Manhattan this weekend.
The winners of the tournament,
which will end Sunday, will qualify
for the Roxie National Indoor
League, Feb. 7-10, in Minneapolis.
After the first day of doubles play in the Rolex Mid American Men's Collegiate Tennis championships, the six Kansas men playing in this tournament advanced to the quarterfinals.
Patrick Han, junior, and Rhain Buth, freshman, defeated Steve Barley and Carl Falkland of the NHL to win a double round conduit, defeated third-

seeded Michel Tremblay and Michael Martinez of Oklahoma, 7.5,6.3
The six men also will compete in singles play this weekend.
"I was pleased with what we did today," said Scott Perelman, Kansas men's coach. Eight pairs are there from Kansas, three are from Kansas, he said.
The women's team will leave this afternoon for a four-tournament at Kansas State that also will include Wichita State and Coach Michael Center said that he expected the team to do well.
“It’s our first match of the year and I think everyone is anxious to play,” he said. “I think we’ll be one of the strongest teams there.”
Stacy Stots, who will be the only senior playing in the tournament, said the team was ready to begin competition play.
"The team is really excited to play someone else besides each other," she said. "I'm expecting us to do really well. We are the strongest team going into the tournament."
Eveline Hamers, Kansas two-time All-American, will not play in this weekend's tournament.
Center said that each player was allowed to compete in only 30 matches per year. Hammers, a junior, played in the Longhorn All-American Classic last weekend, an invitation-only tournament.
