KU faces awesome task
TONY FITTS
Sports Editor
It would have been nice if Kansas had opened its conference season against just about anybody from the Big Eight but Nebraska.
So far in the season, Kansas State has lost to Tulsa, Iowa State has lost to Pacific and Colorado has lost to Drake.
KU couldn't open against somebody easy. The Jahayhaws take on the toughest opponent on their schedule tomorrow, and after an embarrassing defeat to Syracuse.
**NEBRASKA** IS the team that scored 42 points against Penn State, a team known for its defense. Nebraska is the team that is ranked fifth in the country in total defense, ahead of anyone else in the Big Eight. Nebraska is the team that is rated fifth in the Associate*
KU Coach Don Fambrough said his team was looking forward to the challenge of playing Nebraska.
"That's why they play football," he said. "That's big time. There's something about playing before 80,000 people and playing a team that good."
THAT SOMETHING will have to be something bit. KU has vet to be humiliated
by an opponent, but it may come this weekend.
Nebraska's offense operates out of an I formation, like Syracuse's but, according to Fambridge, the Cormuhans run that offense much better than the Orangemen.
"As far as the type of formations," he said, "we have the stronger in the tougher, much stronger in the tougher can do it all. They have a good outside game, a good inside game, and they can run against them."
"From what I've seen on film, they're a much better football team than Syracuse."
SOME OF THE PLAYERS that make Nebraska a standout team include Jarvis Tatum, who played on 68 carries; Tim Hager, senior quarterback who is leading the Big Eight in passing efficiency; and Tim Smith, senior split end who has gained 185 yards on 11 calls.
Nebraksan can hurt KU on defense as well. The Cornhillers don't have any individuals who can stop them during the conference, allowing only 228.2 yards of game. Oklahoma is also one of the teams allowing 444 yards.
Nebraska's defense falls off a little against the pass, which may help KU, the second best passing team in the conference.
Brian Bethel will start again at quarterback in place of Kevin Clinton.
THERE HAVE been some lineup changes for the Jayhawks, Monty Carbone was hot on the heels of the forward rieform at the Syracuse game. He will be replaced at inside linebacker by Aaron Jones.
Fred Osborne, second-string offensive tackle, will not make the trip because of strained muscles in his knee. He will be replaced by David Lawrence.
Fambrough said the team had had a good week of practice.
"I feel good about what we did this week," he said. "I think the attitude of the players is good, and I feel we are ready to play a football game.
"YOU CAN'T fool the players. They know what they are going to team Nebraska is. We're taking pretty hard, but we can take against Michigan—we have to play perfect football and capitalize on all of their skills."

and Okahama State twice this year, at the Wichita State Gold Classic Sept. 15 and at Stillwater last weekend. The two states are ahead of both teams on both occasions.
"Both teams are rather young." Timmons said "Oklahoma State has a couple of key guys that are not at full strength." I think our team will do well. I think our team will do well.
This will be the 'Hawks' second road race in Lawrence in the past couple of years, Tinnons said. The team's home ground is the Lawrence Country Club.
KU's women's cross country team will run today in the Nebraska Invitational in Lincoln, Neb.

The Wildcats have beaten KU each time by a small margin.
Date: Friday October 12
Place: Jayhawk Room
Time: 8:00 pm to 2:00 pm

"We'll be right there with them again," Anderson said. "I was satisfied of that."
"On a course that difficult, I would expect to be three or four strokes above par, but not in the high-80s, which is where most of the scores were."

Sally White led the Jayhawks, carding an 83. White is tied for fourth place in individual competition. She was the only KU golfer to improve her score on the back nine.
Although the tournament is being held on Alvaramer's tough pat-72 Hidden Valley Course, Bahan was surprised at the inflated scores.
the wind because it paled many of the shots out of bounds, she said. "Several of them told me they thought there was a big difference between the front and back nine."
Temple said he planned to use about the same starting lineup he used against the Griffins last week.
"All the teams had a great deal of trouble with the course, and I don't know why," KU coach Derek Burke said. "I can think of is that the placements were different from what we requested, and they were."
Temple said he had to do a lot more teaching this fall than last year because of new players. He has six freshman this season as compared with only one last fall.
KU finished second in the Oklahoma
Arkansas team dominated by foreign
runners. It was the second year that
Arkansas has beaten KU for the top
Neither pitcher has allowed an extra-base hit.
"With an experienced group, you don't have to do as much teaching in the fall," he said.
Timmons said he didn't know much about the team from St. Louis University. KU has run against Wichita State
Temple said he was a little disappointed in his veteran pitchers.
"I think part of the problem our team has "wanted to want to do so well against Texas Christian University. They may have psyched themselves out and tried too hard."
Watt has pitched 12% innings this fail without a hit, he has struck out 11 batters and walked nine. Christianson has struck seven in 14% innings, allowing 15 hits.
Bahan said wind was a factor after the front nine.
After the first round of the KU Invitational Golf Tournament at Alamar Golf Course yesterday, the KU women's golf team was ranked fourth in the nation, 16 strokes behind front-facing Mason.
"We're going to have to do some adjusting to play the caliber of ball it takes in the Big Eight conferrer."
The men's cross country team will face Oklahoma State, Wichita State and St. Louis universities in a quadrantal tournament to determine the winner of the cross country Coach Bob Tmons said.
KU third after one round
TCU is in second place, one stroke behind Missouri.
Although the fall season ends Sunday, Temple said the team would continue what they've done in recent weeks, players more competition in seven-ninning games. Two intra-squats teams played the first game of the best-of-three series and will finish the series next week.
