'Hawks to meet K-State
Records and rankings won't mean a thing when the University of Kansas and Kansas State University meet at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, when an anticipated sell-out crowd of 42,000.
Both schools come into the fierce intra-
state rivalry with 3-1 records, and KU is
now ranked 19th in the Associated Press
national poll. But you might as well throw
away all the predictions and the rankings,
because they probably won't mean much.
"They never have," KU Coach Don
Tescher said. "I'll be sure I'm
sure this year won't be any different."
The contest involves more than just state pride, however. For both squads, tomorrow's game will mark the beginning of a new era in all important Big Eight conference race.
Somehow, conference games take on a slightly different atmosphere than non-conference games. For one thing, coaches will be more cautious during the league season.
Take last year, for instance. KU lost a tough game against Tennessee (28-27) when the 'Hawks failed to make a two-point conversion late in the contest. After the game, Fambrough said he probably would win in a similar situation in a conference game.
"It's a different situation when you get into the conference games, though-you only thinking about winning the conference," Fambridge said. "There is a different theory, a different plan. A tie can be won by a conference for you in certain situations."

Then again, KU-K-State games aren't your normal conference games. Two years ago in Manhattan, Fambridge decided to go for a victory with another two-point game against David Jaynes was stopped short of the goal line, and KU lost the game 20-19.
"Of course, that was earlier in the game," Fambrough said. "There again, what we do is follow the advice of the people we we've given to us. The advice we give us on what the defense has been doing and what we expect them to do. We felt that in that situation there was enough time left in the game to recover, so we decided to go for the felt it was to our advantage to go for two."
"We even have a chart made up on what can happen in that situation—the score, what the other team has done in that type of game," he said. "It is all worked out by a computer."
So far this year, the Wildcats . . we been surprised of a some surprise, especially on defense where they've been playing a lot of young people, according to Fambridge. But we have some new wrinkles, even though they are still basically a Vee-T team.
"They've been doing more things on offense. They've even been running out of the T some, a little like Nebraska," Fambrough said.
Unlike KU, the Wildcats have been hit with the injury jinx this season and will be out of town for tomorrow. Potentially the Wildcats' most serious injury is in the quarterback position. Both senior Steve Grogan and Jared Halley will be playing with injuries tomorrow.
The pair have divided the playing time this year since Grogan, the normal starter, suffered a pinched neck nerve in the second game of the season against Wichita State. Fambrough said the two were similar in style and were both effective quarterbacks.
"There really isn't anything too different in what they both do and run," Fambrough said. "Bailey is very talented and can do the same things as Grogan.
"Of course, the big difference is experience. Grogan is more experienced, and perhaps the players recognize him as their leader when he's on the field."
KU comes into the game after its biggest victory in many seasons, a 21-80 victory over then fifth-ranked Texas A&M. KState leaving from a 21-16 loss to Mississippi.
