Or is it the team that moved for 471 yards in blanking Oregon State, 20-4, had Satur-
Tomorrow's game with the University of Wisconsin should provide some answers to these questions. The kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. There are more than 2,700 expected. A crowd of more than 72,000 is expected.
THE BADGERS ONLY HAVE a 1-2 record. But that's misleading because the losses have been to 12th-ranked Michigan, and to fifth-ranked Missouri, 27-21, last week.
KU head coach Bud Moore isn't letting that record deceive him.
"They are, without a doubt, the best team you've seen so far," he said. "We're ready."
"Wisconsin is big and strong and they will attempt to take the ball and run right over you. And they've got the people to do it, too."
THE BADGERS ARE LED by running back Billy Marek, who rushed for 1,215 yards last year despite missing three games. The Badgers scored 344 yards in one game against Minnesota.
Guard Terry Steve and tackle Dennis Lick are the big men on the offensive line. Both were all-Big Ten selections last year. The team probably miss the game because of an injury.
The Badgers boast a strong passing attack. Last week, Badger quarterbacks Charles Green and Mike Carroll combined for 10 completions in 16 attempts, gaining 121 yards against a strong Missouri secondary.
"I WAS PLEASED WITH both our quarterbacks," Wisconsin coach John Jardine said. "Carroll came in under some tough circumstances and did a good job of running the Green get hurt. He threw the ball well and had a good job of running the option."
Green will start tomorrow, Jardine said.
All those things worry Moore.
"It's going to be a big challenge for our defense to contain them." Moore said, "They just come off the football and let the runner pick his daylight."
The Jayhawk defense has turned in a solid performance through the first three games. The Spurs shut out in more than two years' last Saturday and has given up only two touchdowns this fall.
"The DEFENSE HAS been carrying us," Moore admitted. "Although there's considerable improvement to be made, I'm pleased with the progress. We've been equally effective in stopping the run and pass."
Last week, the Jayhawk offense took some pressure off the defense for the first time this season. With Nolan Cromwell and Justin Dillard from Houston, Kansas managed to control the ball.
"They've really improved in their handling of the wishbone," Jardine said, "and they seem to have found a good quarterback in Cromwell."
THE JAYHAWKS ARE going to have to move the ball against a much better defense tomorrow than they did last week. Wisconsin returns six starters and can afford the luxury of starting a letterman at every position.
KU still hasn't shown that it can throw the ball. Through three games, Cromwell and backup quarterback Scott McMichael have to complete eight of 25 passes for 65 yards.
"We can't afford to rely entirely on the run against a team like Wisconsin," Moore said. "We're going to have to throw the football."
MOORE HAS MADE ONE change in the kicking game. Senior Bob Swift has taken over the punting duties from freshman John Wheeler, who will lead last season, averaging 31.3 yards a kick.
To win the game, Moore said, the Jayahws will have to be able to control the offense, but the offense is going to have to execute the triple option as well it did last week.
Soccer club heads for prosperity

Bernie Mullen has been playing soccer all his life.
That's really not surprising. Mullen is from England, where soccer is by far the number one sport.
Two years ago, Mullin came to the University of Kansas as a graduate student in business. he's now president of the university.
Mullin is optimistic about this year's team, after last year's lost only three games.
"The last two years, we've had the best players in the league," he said, "but not necessarily the best teams."
LAST YEAR, THE TEAM finished fourth in the Big Eight tournament. Malin was disappointed and left.
"Each team has to play four games in two days, and soccer wasn't meant to be played like that," he added. "You have to have a lot of skill."
This year, Mullin thinks that his team has an excellent chance to take the top spot in the conference.
"We hope to win the Big Eight," he said. "We have better players than last year and the team is much more consistent. Plus, we have a strong bench."
The team travels tomorrow to Kansas City to play the K.C. Internationals. The game will be one of its toughest of the year, Mullin said. The Internationals have two players who were on the K.C. Spurs, a professional soccer team which disbanded several years ago.
ON SUNDAY, THE TEAM will be in Manhattan to plav Kansas State. the defending league champions;
"We're not sure how good KSU is this year,"巩华刚说。They graduated a lot of players last year.
Although it's the top sport in most of the world, soccer is just starting to gain popularity in the United States. About 75 per cent of all colleges in the country have played soccer, either a team or a club, Mullin said.
"We get most of our American players from St. Louis or Kansas City," he said.
"In the St. Louis area, all they have the kids play in school is soccer, from grade school on up. The colleges and jucos around there all have very good soccer teams."
ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF KU'S team consists of three most of whom come from France or Venezuela.
From working with students from many different countries during his coaching career in England and the United States, Mullin said he had noticed different styles of play in each country.
"You can tell where a person comes from by how he plays soccer," Mullin explained. "The Latins are very delicate and skillful; the English and Germans are physical; Africans run a lot; and Americans don't have the skills yet so they have to play physical and hustle all the time."
Mullin said that Americans sometimes had trouble because soccer took a different kind of mind.
"MOST OF THE SPORTS HERE involve hand-toe eye coordination, like basketball, football or baseball," he said. "But in soccer, your eyes are down at the ball. They're not even with the ball."
"And also, you are using your feet, not your hands, which messes up a lot of people."
One problem of coaching a team of mixed nationalities, he said, is that the players don't
"Getting a team with a lot of mixed temperaments to play a team with a team used to be a problem."
But he said the problem no longer existed at KU or on most other teams.
"The Americans respect the foreign players' ability, and the foreigners realize that the Americans are getting much better all the time." Mullin said. "The guys this year are really playing a team out there. They're not concerned about nationalities."
