Among those unhappy to see Dave Jaynes
no longer in a University of Kansas football
uniform is Washington State head coach
Jim Sweeney.
"I'd rather face a team that hung its hopes on the pass than on a balanced attack like the Vee," Sweeney said yesterday in a telephone interview from Pulman, Wash.
The Jahayhs open their 1974 season against the Washington State Cougars in Joseph Ali Stadium tomorrow in Spokane, Wash., at 8 p.m. CDT. A crowd of 30,000
"We've got good personnel," he said
finally. "We've got a good offensive football team."
Meet to be Sunday
The open track meet at KU's Hershberger Track will be Sunday, not Saturday as reported in yesterday's Kansan. Field and track events will start at 1:00 p.m.
One would think Sweeney would welcome the future of Jaynes, KU's All-America quarterback.
But Sweeney said, "I think it's going to be a severe test for us to go against a Veer offense. We'd be better off playing pure pass defense than to have prepared for that Veer, which makes you so conscious of the threat and still the threat of a pass with the Veer."
PRIMARY OFFENSIVE components for the Cougars are backbone Jones, 6-
Sweeney said the two biggest problems for the Cougars before their game with KU were injuries and an untested defense. The team on the other hand, is in good condition.

foot-5, 218 pound senior, who gained more than 1,000 yards last season, and senior quarterback Chuck Peck, who's strong on the passing game.
Pecked Washington State to four consecutive victories at the end of last season. He averaged nearly 150 yards a game through the air in these victories.
Also bolstering hopes for a strong of- offensive attack are guard Steve Osermann

get on offense and they're on defense."
Receivers for Peck include sophomores Mark Maenhout and Dennis Pearson. Maenhout and Pearson both played well in the spring game. Sweeve said.
But, Sweeney said, the Cougar offense will face one of its severest tests against KU in a new season. The university other strong defenses Washington State will face this year -Ohio State and the University of Southern California. That comparison, he said, puts the 'Hawks in a better place.'
"We're not going to run up and down the field on them, that's for sure," Sweeney laughed. "I think it'll be more our experience against their business when we
get on offense and they're on defense.” BUT SWITCH the roles—put KU on offense and the Cougars on defense, both are virtually untested. Both are virtually untested. The Jayhawks have Scott McMichael to lead their newly implemented Veer attack, and Washington State has one only full time defensive team remaining from last year, linebacker Gary Larsen.
"We are playing with new people," Sweeney said in an understatement. "The question marks are definitely in the area of our defensive unit."
One look at the Washington State depth chart brings the question mark into sharper focus. Particularly hard-hit by graduation was the secondary, in which none of this year's Cougar pass defenders have ever played a down of varsity football.
"They've developed good coordination this year between the line and themselves," Sweeney said. "They're not the biggest mugs in the world but they're quick."
Injuries have posed another threat to hopes of a good year at Washington State. Already out for the season are three of last year's starters. A doubtful starter for tomorrow's clash is offensive tackle Earl Owens
"We've had a lot of injuries this year," Sweeney moaned. "We've gone the last 10 days without an injury or some image communication from our team down. But our injuries are like most football

"I think we're going to have to score three touchdowns to win." Sweeney said. "If our offense is thwarted, we're going to be in trouble. And it may take more than three

scores to win if there's a bushelful of mistakes out there."
UK head coach Don Fambrough agreed
with Sweene's assessment of the two
teams.
"Just like it has been the last three years, I think both teams are starting the season with some questions to be answered," said Fambrough. "This year it seems that
Washington State has some questions on defense and we have some on offense and that should make for an interesting combination. But, again, just like in recent years, it's difficult to figure out the result in advance."
In its last workout before leaving for Skokane, KU practiced for 45 minutes last night.
