Jayhawks want "Duck Soup'
The KU football team, highly touted and lightly seasoned, began cooking up a recipe this week it hopes to stir into a mock "kick soup" in Saturday's season opening.
The Jayhawks, riding on a theme of the Marx Brothers classic movie, "Duck Soup," for their opponent against the Oregon Ducks, got their first taste of the various formations Oregon uses in yesterday's practice.
"They're a good team" said KU head coach Dum Fonbach. "They made only two penalties Saturday and that tells us they're a well-coached team."
Oregon, beaten by 15th-ranked Stanford Saturday, managed 423 yards with a third-string quarterback. The offense was highlighted by tailback Reggie Brown, who rushed for 128 yards off the l-formation.
"They do a lot more options and a lot of sprint-outs," Bambridge said. "Defensively, they use a six-man front, so you don't see them you don't see much of that around them."
While the Oregon offense is the star on the field, the Ducks are finding a need for a special kind of defense off the field.
Riddled by a rash of criminal charges, the latest being the arrest of tailback Wrighton on charges of sodomy and coercion in an incident where two ducks were caught. Ducks are one of five Pac-10 teams ineligible for post-season play.
"The problem hasn't torn them apart," Fambrough said in summing "Degraean was wooed, and has drawn them close to me." The men then tucked that everybody is picking on them.
For the 'Hawks, senior Steve Smith will probably start at quarterback, with the tailback slot still open. It is doubtful that he'll play for Kerwin Bell will get the starting nod.
Perbaps the biggest question mark on the team, the kicking game, has been answered. Freshman Bruce Kalmeyer will handle kicking duties while Bucky Scriner fills the punting vacancy left by Mike Hubach.
George Brett
Defensively, the "Hawks, which gave up an average of 32 points a game last year, will be counting on youth.
"I have been pleased with all of our young players," Fambrough said. "In the future, I can see a defense out there, but the UCLA team is the one we defense is hitting hard last week."
One returning defensive starter, however, will be missing Saturday in Oregon. Linebacker Scellars Young, who led KU in tackles last season, is out with a sprained ankle.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Carney Lansford had three hits, including a double and a home run, and drove in three runs last past the power hit. Angels past the Kansas City Royals 7-4.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak by the Royals, who played without George Brett for the second straight game.
Brett, who had his injured right hand x-rayed yesterday in California, was given permission to take batting practice before the game and could return to the lineup this week, club officials said.

The essay is the ditch-digging occupation of writing.

When Michael Hert's *Dis patches* first appeared in 1977, they dared to paint their story of the Viet Nam experience. Giving the dearth of compelling fiction from Viet Nam, they hinted that the novel and short story had finally come to form and sensibility, as evidenced by their inability to capture the immediacy and disjointed folly of this most complex book was something else, and they called it everything imaginable: rock n' roll reporting; a personal journal; a transcript of the "mad-poop-pee" gudge in which Viet Nam was lived. On its own terms, *Dis patches* might best be regarded as a huge and money-growing sensation and sensation, hard facts now and then shifting the balance to viscual impressions and off the cuff (oftenies, off the wall) philosophy patches is "an irregular, undigested piece." Or to borrow a word from the French in referring to the former lair, the *Dis patches* book was oure frank an essay.
That the termesse should evoke any negative connotations is probably a factor of our early classroom experience with a stuffy set of notions that formally to style and set a prescriptive pattern for learning. While these principles might apply in an odd way to Montagne and Francis Bacon, it must be remembered that the congenial essay has always been one of our most personal, eccentric and expressive texts, after another. Aidus Huxley called it, “in but a sequence that in some miraculous way develops a central theme and relates it to the rest of human experience.” In fact, in the art of world literature, the unreliable essay (a typical experiment) has always kept courageous and often dangerous company: Plato, Cicero, Carlyle, Swift, Ibanez, and others who have helped our appreciation for clear thought and fresh language. Today the account essays are no less important, and certain varieties varied and appealing.
The Newspaper Connection
sayist. Since the early 18th century when Joseph Addison and Richard Steele first put together the Tatter — a thrice-weekly newspaper designed to introduce faculties of England's budding middle class — the essayist has enjoyed constant if somewhat ambiguous employment as a member of the working class. He is also a professor of guesses that have ranged from the timeless street scenes of Dickens' *Streches by Boz* to the out-and-out poetics of H.M. Lichen, the essayist known for his interesting interests of his craft with a full larder of whimsical irony immersed in the wage-earning and ephemeral lives of his subjects, the true essayists has had to continually suppress or blunt what BWh White calls "the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything interests him, to its general interest."
Journalism has always been the first and best refuge of the es
Sometimes, as in the case of Janet Flanner, this urge to self-censorship makes for a rather opaque style of revelation. Writing for a half-century under the name *Karen Forker*, Flanner generally focused her discrimination eye upon the social and artistic elite of Europe. Her work often recalls the advocacy for taste and manners in New York during the years of Addison and Steelie; at other times, Flanner inserts herself neatly into the tumult of age, observing a bankrupt Berlin of 1931 or reflecting on the horrors of the ghetto upraised. But whether she writes about manner or history, Flanner always manages to construct her point of view in a most effectively hiding watchfulness, an implicit hiding watchfully beneath the subtle implications of her prose.

Not so, of course, for America's foremost contemporary reporter-turned-seller, Joan Didion. When Didion undertakes a character profile — her piece by John Pike, the author — she does not begin with the subject, his family, philosophy, or even a recitation of his favorite food (as did Janet Flanner in a 1956 profile of her mother) to piece the word with a heart about her recollection of Pike's church, and then characteristically proceeds to lace the narrative with what she calls elsewhere, "always, transparently, in the light," the greatest study of Mann is wrote Janet Flanner in a profile of the Nobel Prize-winning German novelist, and likewise, we may note that an equivalence between the two is Didion. As a reporter, she tells us, she is not really interested in issues, but in the "alchemy of issues." And what this seems to mean is that every character, every subject, from Linda Kasabian to Susan Griffin, brushes up against the author and receives its illuminating charge from the quality of that contact. This is, of course, self-indulgence led to an often hand, self-indulgence, coupled with wit, passion, and intelligence, has always been the touchstone of the successful essayist. "Only a person who is willing to learn how to frontline and stamina to write essays advised B.E. White. Didion's collected pieces in The White Album and *Soilcoming Towards Bethlehem* frankly do not paint him, but instead he would be missing the point to regard them as such. Rather we read these meditations upon Bogota and Malibu, John Wayne and Charles Manson to learn how an artist could be a virtual managed to harrow the age Subjectivity is the point in full.
A Strong, High Voice
Didion is often praised for her fine, precise language, her strong voice speaking in contrast to a physical presence which is as she tells us, "small," "temperamentally unobtrusive," and "perfectly late." In other words, she has had to fight for her language, and each stone cut line marks some small victory.
Uni Law
Edward Hoagland is another essayist who has earned his style through adversity. A novelist of modest reputation (1908-1924) and the 1906 *The Circle Home* (1960). Hoagland has spent much of his childhood and adult life as a stutterer. "Being in these vocal handcuffs made him feel so different from a dog, like a dog choosing each word." Hoagland's style is consonant with the idea that the essay is a variety of 'conversational writing' Unshackled, an abundance of critical detail and blinding enthusiasm fueling his abrupt transitions from present to past, subject to self, to countryalsy. As he was taught reflective reflection to stylistic glissando, he was, as observed critic Geoffrey Wolf, that "it is impossible to know (but easy to feel) what the essay is about." Hoagland writes that in her sympathetic purveyor of black bears, red wolves, and city rats, he records the lore folk of early settlers in British Columbia and Ontario, the sympathetic penurvey
A peripatetic and specifist of sorts, McPhee — like his cohorts — must feel somewhat cheered now that many private concerns have risen to the general interest, and the essay once again enjoys a reasonably wide and diverse reach. The book's focus is the lot of the essayist has probably been most realistically defined, once again, by E.B. White "A writer who has sights his trains on the Nobel Prize or other early triumphs had best write a novel, a poem, or a play," writes in *The Rumble* that rumble about, content with living a free life and enjoying the satisfacations of a somewhat undisciplined existence.
In Town & Country
As a staff writer for The New Yorker, McPhee has straddled two worlds in scores of articles and more than a year of research. A faculty study of Alaska, *Coming into the Country*, McPhee has also tangled with long, discursive pieces about the higher levels of tennis, the craft of bark canoe builders, missing links in the history of the sport. McPhee is an adventurer of information, a stickler for the facts. He has written a book about oranges, a most studious and exacting survey that examined the origins of fundamental cravings. Typically, McPhee works from the sidelines, bending his style to any angle or knot that might suit his sublime observations. He examines the differences between conservationists and the Federal government are tightly defined when McPhee boards a rubber raft headed down the Colorado along with Friends of the Earth founder Dave DeClementa. "Come on now, Dave; be honest" (the Commissioner) said. "From a conservator's point of view what is the best source of electric power?" "Flashlight batteries, Brower said."
Hoagland is hardly the first observer of animals and lars to be between the woods and the city. Since big living there, the American essayist has been torn by the happy agony of deciding whether to leave the city of the country and upon its return to the extension of two homes is stock-in-trade for the essayist, though few display the pericinct ease and delight with acquiredfollows that distinguish both the permanent and Mcheeister.
