Friday, September 12. 1975 9 Staff Photo by DAVID CRENSHAM With a bullhorn within easy grasp, KU head coach Bud Moore ponders yesterday's football practice University Daily Kansan KU braces for Cougar's invasion By YAEL ABOUHALKAH Sports Editor Here's the bad news about Washington it returns defense. it returns 19 lettermen from last season. Now for the good news: opponents shredded that defense for a whopping 272 points in 1974, to help push the Cougars to a dismal 2-9 mark. University of Kansas football fans get to see what kind of team Washington State fields this year when KU hosts the Cougars at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium. It's the season opener for both clubs. A crowd of 38,000 is expected. The Jayhawks are trying to bounce back from last season's lackluster 47 record. They were led by Jake Sarno, who scored 15 goals. Chances are brighter, however, that they can put a stop to their six-game losing streak. The Cougars are definitely one of the weaker teams KU plays this year. Jayhawk coach Bud Moore said he was approaching his first game as a college freshman. "I think we've done a good job of preparation," he said yesterday. "It's now up to whether we do a good job of execution Saturday." Scott McMichael and Nolan Cromwell are Steeplechase abilities aid Jayhawk runners By KEN STONE Sports Writer It's hard to tell whether they're crazed or courageous, but four University of Kansas cross country runners say they'd like to see their short made a little more challenging. The runners—Kent McDonald, Bill Lundberg, George Mason and John Roscoe—would just as soon slop through mud, bound over bushes and traverse streams as putter along on the soft green grass of an undulating fairway. Indeed, given the opportunity, these athletes should be a couple dozen fast to vault and lose to the THERE COULD BE ONLY one rational explanation for their attitude. They run the steeplechase during track season. it there is one event in track that exceeds the challenge of five miles of cross country racing on a fall afternoon, it's the 3,000 meter steeplechase. At least that's what the four KU runners think. "It takes a different kind of runner," Lundberg said. "Because it's so challenging and so difficult, it's a different kind of race. It's tough." MASON AGREED, SAYING of steepechle runners, "I just like to feel he's a little tougher. Of the other guys he are afraid to run it because of injuries." Chances are, however, that steeplechasers don't suffer as many injuries as other runners, despite having to hurdle 28 three-foot-high barriers and clear seven water hazards in the course of a race. Mason said. "Steepechasers have fewer injuries because they have more confidence," he said. "And I think it carries over to cross country, because they won't be afraid of getting hurt. Maybe they're mentally tougher." Lundberg also said he thought the stalwart in the spring helped his racing in the spring. "IT'S HELPED ME WITH concentration, because if you don't run (the steelecheap) right, you'll run right through the hurdle," he said. "I think I'm going to have a better cross country season because of running the steele." McDonald said he was more concerned about how cross country will prepare him for spring and summer competition, when he has to bid for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. "It's meant for the base," he said. "You The Program of the year isn't on TV. It's in the Air Force ROTC. look into the Air Force ROTC to work as a year program, or two years program.

"If you gang up to stop the run, they will test to see if you can play pass defense too." Cougar coach Jim Sweeney had some praise for the Jayhawks. "I don't, however, expect them to be married to it," he said. "I think you will see him doing that as soon as backs out as a receiver. Alabama runs a billion formats from its basic wishbone set, and I expect Kansas to do the same." He could also surmise what they are going to do."

Rosace, on the other hand, would much be easier to put into a local woods to a pier over wood obstacles. Despite some injuries, the youthful Javahws will be fairly strong Saturday. "ACTUALLY," ROSCOE SAID, "I'm a cross country freak. I can't stand track. I'm about the only one on the team who craves running." Definitely out are linebacker Randy Cox; tight end Greg Ghosz; linebacker Don Pile; running back Jim Manning and lineman Morris Pippin. "I like hike scicc courses. If it's possible, I wouldn't mind cross swamping. I'm the kind of runner who likes running in the woods or on trails courses. It's like running track on grass. "It's a much improved football team from spring practice," Moore said. "Fundamentally, they're doing things much better." Leading the Washington St. passing game is quarterback Wally Bennett. He's got receivers Brian Kelly, Carl Barchig and Kyle Olsen. He's scored 32 passes for 423 yards last year. "I can't stand running six miles on the track," he said. "I like the steelpechase because it's not a boring race," he said. "You've got to climb those obstacles." At running backs are Dan Doornink and Vern Champerain. Neither were outstanding last year, with Chamberlain the Cougar's top gainer with 864 yards. The offensive line is of average size, as is the defensive line. Standouts on defense are backers Colm Muttell and Jerry Payne and end Mark Hufleon. About his pass-oriented offense, Sweeney said, "We have worked hard on passing. As we became more positive in our passing, I think our receivers started to think more like receivers. They expect us to throw more and they expect to catch the ball." The Jayhawks nipped the Cougars, 14-7, in the opening game of 1974. The two teams have met five times, KU winning four of the games.
