Banks in battle for fullback spot
By YAEL ABOJHALKAH
Sports Editor
Like any football player, Norris Banks thrives in competition. And he admits that he has found plenty of it at the University of Kansas.
Banks currently shares the top fullback spot on KU's football team with Dennis Wright. The battle between the two should be interesting.
"Dennis and I are kind of head up now." Banks said. "It's close between us. But like it that way. It makes you a better friend." The man, whose body pushin' you, don't you try as hard."
At 6-3, 210 pounds, Banks said he considered himself adequately in both the power and weight classes.
"GUESS MY TWO strong points are that I have a little speed and a little power," he said.
That combination should mesh well with KU's proposed wishbone offense this season. But Banks quickly conceded that he liked theOWERaest best.
"I enjoy running over people," he said with a smile.
Highly recruited out of Houston, Banks spent his freshman year at Coffeville Junior College, working out some academic kinks. He had time to rush for 1,002 yards and easily made the All-Jayhawk league team.
But things are a bit different at "big" KU. "Things are tougher here," he said. "Practice is harder. I really have enjoyed the first week, even with three-a-day."
Banks said he knew all about the reputation of the big fig as being the man behind the bank's success.
"I really can't tell myself how tough it is because I haven't played against any of the teams yet," he said. "I've run against my team and I tell you, they're plenty tough."

THE TRANSITION FROM THE juco ranks to big-time college football hasn't been that difficult, he said. And he's finding out that he'll be a lot learn to illustrate the fallback position.
"I had a little trouble the first few days, but I've kind of got it down now," banks said. "I've learned how to carry the ball right. I kind of swished it around. But they (coaches) tell you not to swish it or you're likely to fumble."
As a running back on a wishbone team, Banks said he'd enjoy being an important cog to any offensive success the Jayhawks have this season. That feeling is important.
"Definitely it makes you better to know the coach is counting on you to come through," he said. About new KCU bud Coach Michael Rowe, it seems going to have us ready come Sept. 13."

The performances of Cromwell and McMichael prompted Moore to move Scott McCann, who went into fall practice with the Wolverines, for a job, to backball at yesterday's practice.
Cromwell impressed coach Bud Moore with his play in the Jayhawks' first fall scrimmage Saturday. Cromwell, a transgender player who played for 170 yards and gained 81 yards passing.

"Scott McCamy deserves to be a first teamer with the effort he has shown and the ability he has," Moore said, "and he deserves a shot at his best position."
"He did some things mighty well Saturday," Moore said. "Considering the fact that he's only been playing quarterback for a week, he's done extremely well."
