University Daily Kansan Friday, November 30,1979 13 Verser follows Hubach's footsteps By GENE MYERS Sports Writer Mike Hubach says the second time around is the toughest—and the sweetest. KU's senior punter was named yesterday to the Associated Press 'Big-Eight team for the second straight year, an honor he says junior wide receiver David Verser, KU's other first-team player, will have next year. "It's a lot better getting it again, as Vaser will discover next season," Habach said last night. "This is the first time I've led the league in punting so I kind of expected it, but it feels good to have loved myself again." Hubach led the Big Eight with a 42.8-inch average, while Verser received inpackers in yards gained with 463. He had 21 receptions and 91 kick returns. ON THE AP'S mythical team, Verser would be catching passes from Missouri's junior quarterback Phil Bradley. Bradley's backfield is paced by Oklahoma's Billy Sims, the 1978 Heisman Trophy winner with 1,506 yards led the league in rushing. With Sims are Nebraska's Jarvis Redwine and Oklahoma State's Worley Taylor. Junior Miller of Nebraska is the tight end, and teammate Dean Sukun is the place kicker. The guards are John Havekest of Nebraska and Reggie Richardson of Oklahoma, Another Sooner, Louis Oubre, joins Colorado's Stan Brock at tackle, and Sooner Pabar Tabor is the center. While Hahab, who doubled as KU's place keeper, was expected to be ALL Bieight. V塞尔 did not. The news, in fact, shocked him. "I DIDN'T FIGURE to make it with all my injuries," Verser said. "I missed the opened and was hurt the last three games, so I thought Tim Smith of NU would get it. He led in receptions and I led in yards." Next year Verser does want to leave any doubts in the voters' minds. He plans to lead the Big Eight in everything. "I can repeat and I will repeat if I stay healthy," he said. "I don't plan to be hurt more." Pressure shouldn't be any problem for him, either, according to Hubach. "Most of the pressure to repeat comes from the self," he said. "But there is some from outside people. You might have a bad game now and then, and right away they'll be saying 'What happened to him—he's all BIG Eight.'" **THIS YEAR, THE AP's No. 1 defensive team was dominated by Granbury Bone and the Bronze Bear. Sonnerline backheader Gordon Bone, defensive back Derek Horn and Goodman made the team. Nebraska also had three on defense--middle guard Kerry Wemnstein, tackle Ridolph Rod Horn and end Derrick Rounding out the defense are end Rick Ante and linebacker Ricky Young of Oklahoma State, back Mark Haynes of Colorado, back Eric Wright of Missouri and back Mike Schwartz of Iowa Nebraska landed seven players from the Cotton Bowl-bound team on the first squandle with Oklahoma had six. Missouri, Kansas and Texas all scored. KU, which finished 3-4, also placed one player on the second team, defensive hard Larry Irwin. KU, HOWEVER, HAD four honorable mentions - junior fullback Harry Raydy and seniors Brian Bethek, Kirry Crisbyn and Jim Zidd. Bethek became KU No. 1 quarterback in the fourth game on his second start. On his throwing hand, Crissie and Zidd played inside linebacker. Sydney, a quarterback before 1979, wasn't particularly pleased with his performance the first month of season. "It is pretty good for my first year," he said. "It feels pretty good but not really great. "I plan on being on the first team next year. They'll be a lot of us in there next year—at least, myself, Verbs and probably Guard Billy."

(UPI)--Scott Wentzman scored to score nine points night and lead the Kansas City Kings to their eight victory in 16 games, a 105-84 win. Bob McAdoo scored a game-hit 62 points to pace Detroit, which dropped its fourth straight game and its eighth in 12 points. He shot 12 points and John Lennie 11 for the Pistons. Despite 16 points from McAdoo in the first half, Kansas City held a 52-43 advantage at halftime with Wedman's 10 first-half points pacing the Kings. The Kings nearly squandered a 14-point margin they built midway through the third quarter as Detroit, led by McAdoo's 12 points in the period, cut the EASTERN CONFERENCE Affluent Dislocation | | W | L | Pct. | GB | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Boston | 18 | 4 | 47 | 180 | | Philadelphia | 16 | 4 | 198 | 1 | | New York | 15 | 12 | 478 | 61% | | Washington | 11 | 12 | 450 | 61% | | Cleveland | 10 | 12 | 372 | 9 | Atlanta 15 12 10 600 - 48 San Antonio 12 10 10 345 - 1% Cleveland 11 15 10 696 - 2% Indiana 11 15 10 422 4% Oklahoma 11 15 10 345 4% difference to two points midway through the final period.

Although Kempil left four swimmers at home, two because of studies and two for health reasons, Kempil said the Jayhawks would still be strong. KU will have an advantage in diving because Florida State doesn't have any divers at the meet, he said. But Kempf has his doubts about beating the Seminoles. KU diving Coach Ron Walker said, "They're weak in diving, so we should be able to pick up some points." Presents Sundav. December 2 "On paper you can't compete with them," he said.
