Tom Quick, reserve wide receiver and quarterback, and John Brehm, reserve wide receiver, work on their passing game behind Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The Jayhawks will host the Indiana State Sycamores at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
Indiana State head coach Dennis Raetz said yesterday that his team was just as big an underdog to Kansas as the Jayhawks would be to Oklahoma or Nebraska.
However, Kansas head coach Bob Valesente said Indiana State was not a team to be taken for granted.
His biggest concern is whether his team is physically mature enough to withstand the pressure from Kansas in tomorrow's game.
"Anytime you talk about a Big Eight team playing a Division I-AA team, there's really not a good comparison," Raetz said. "As far as comparison and ability, you can't really mention a I-AA team in the same breath as a Big Eight team."
Last year, the Jayhawks defeated the Sycamores 37-10. The Kansas offense accumulated 279 yards passing and 166 yards rushing while the defense allowed Indiana State only 247 yards of total offense.
"We're not going to go into the game with the attitude that we can beat Indiana State." linebacker John Randolph said. "We just got more breaks than they did last year. They are a very physical team."
Although Kansas players said they wouldn't take Indiana State lightly, Raetz is concerned about the lack of experienced players on his team. The Sycamore defense is young, with three freshman and four sophomore starters.
Knee injuries were frequent for Indiana State last week as four offensive players were hurt in the 64-9 loss to Iowa State.
Indiana State's major concern this season was replacing quarterback Jeff Miller, who graduated last year. Miller set 15 school and two Missouri Valley Conference records.

Pesankan and Friends. A Triple Treat, featuring Mick Peakehan, violin Peter Köpel, cello and Rita Stiano, piano, performing as part of the KU Chamber Music Series at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the Craft-On Theatre in Murray Hall. Tickets may be purchased online or by calling (866) 254-7500, and $1 for KU Public, and $9 and $7 for other students.
Armed with wit, talent and a violin that rarely leaves his side, Mark Peskanov will open the 1986-87 University of Kansas Chamber Music series with "Peskanov and Friends: A Triple Treat."
Peskanov, 28, immigrated to the United States from Odessa, Soviet Union in 1973. He began playing the violin when he was 7. His first public performance was only two months after he picked up the instrument.
"At that age it was my toy. I would put it away for a while and come back to it again and play." Peskанов said recently. In addition to the violin, he also plays piano, viola, guitar
and keyboards. Before coming to the United States, he played some of these instruments in a rock band called "The Police." Sting wasn't in that band, but Peskanov said real policemen were.
Peskanov and his older brother, Alexander, a concert pianist, spent their first night in the United States listening to Peskanov's recordings on the radio.
He said they were excited to find so many stations and different music. When they were in the Soviet Union they could tune in some stations from the United States, but the reception was terrible.
Peskanov loves all music. He said he enjoyed the Beatles and Led Zeppelin because he could detect a true sincerity in their music. There was no question about it, he said, the music came from their hearts.
He said rock videos today had a lot of theatrics and some in teresting things, but he did get tired of seeing them after a while.
Four days after being in the United States, Peskov gave his first public performance. He spent his pre-college andcollege years at the University of Texas.
"Sometimes it's three minutes, some times five. I have been working on one piece for four years," he said.
He and his brother began writing songs when they were young boys in the Soviet Union. At 18, Mark Peskanov made his living writing songs for recording companies such as Pollygram. He also wrote the score for a MGM movie called "He Knows You're Alone."
they want to show me "let them play" Peskanoan said Jackie Davis, director of the Concert and Chamber Music Series, has taken on the role.
Although he does read reviews, critics opinions won't change what he does.
U. S. audiences have received Peskanov well. He said his reviews have been favorable 99 percent of the time.
Davis said she brought together the best artists she could find for Sunday's concert. She tried to present a program that created a balance. "Peskanov and Friends" will feature Peskanov on violin, Peter Rejo on cello, and Rita Sloan on piano.
Last year, Peskanov won the Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Isaac Stern Award presented by Carnegie Hall.
Sloan comes from a family of musicians and began playing piano as a child.
"He has very exciting playing. He loves what he's doing. Mark is very personable and somehow he manages to communicate that quality to his audience when he plays," she said.
The series, Sloan said, is first-rate. She called Peskanov a terrific musician and said audiences would be in for a "tuple treat."
"That was the instrument my father sat me down with, and it and I not alone," she said.
Rejo is a cellist for the Los Angeles Quartet and a professor of music at California State University, Northridge. He was the first American cellist to tour Bulgaria.
Also performing will be the University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Zuohuang Chen, associate professor of music.
The violin Peskanov will be playing was given to him by a friend. He said it his favorite.
"It is my companion. It doesn't eat, drink — but it needs adjustments. You get attached to it because it's an instrument that helps you express yourself through it," he said.
"There is not one country I wouldn't go to to play for people."
