Kansas State brings up rear ...
From page 5
From a pure talent standpoint, it would appear that Colorado should finish higher in the standings. But past experience dictates that we don't often quite as good as they look on paper.
The Buffs look good offensively with nine starters returning, including wide receiver Dave Logan, who missed most of last season. Kansas' Nolan Cromwell, Logan is considered one of the top athletes in the conference. The 6-5, 219 pound senior is being moved from wingback to wide receiver. No other team has a more efficient Buffalo offense with a big-play man.
The Colorado defense, which gave up an average of almost 28 points a game last season, led the Bills to Bill Mallory hit the junior college recruiting hard, and he hopes those new men can fill the holes in the Colorado defense, which has been a defensive category in the league last season.
FFITH: Oklahoma State (7-5 in 1974)

SEVENTH, Iowa state (4-7 in 1974; 23
returning lettermen; 12 starters lost); coach
The Cowboys are in the process of changing from the wishbone to the slot-I. No matter which offense they end up running, they should have no problems at quarterback. Charlie Roberts retreates for a second pass. The Cowboys he should be challenged by Scott Burk, who was impressive in three starts last season. Jimmy Derrick is also in the picture.
About the brightest note on the Cyclone football game this year is their new 50,000-point field goal. The backer Mike Strachan, the fifth leading rusher in conference history, safety Barry Hill, linebacker Brad Storm and Hicker Tom create much excitement in the new facility.
Defensively, Oklahoma State will be led by its two big tackles, James White and Jimmy Williams, who came last year, and linebacker Brent Robinson. But only one other defensive starter, safety Darnell Meyers, returns. With seven new starters, coach Jim Stanley is maintaining the offense.

If the Jayhawks can develop a good wishbone quarterback and get some much needed depth, especially at running back and on the defensive line, they could surprise people. For a detailed preview of the Jayhawks, see page one.
The quarterback spot is still up for grabs between Buddy Hardeman, Wayne Stanley and Tom Mason. All played quite a bit last season. Stanley had the best spring of the three and will go into fall drills as number one, but that could change quickly.
Defensively, the Cyclones may be hur-

tung. The line, led by brothers Mike and Maynard Stensud, is good. After that there is nothing but question marks. Both backtrackers graduated, but Greg Pittman, a transfer from Amity, is expected to play in the Browns and Tony Hawkins return in the secondary.

It's become as much of a tradition to pick Kansas State for last place as it has to pick Oklahoma for first. And the Wildcats don't have to preseason picks during the year,
New coach Ellis Rainberger inherits a tough situation which was compounded by the loss of Arthur Bailey, who was being counted on as the Wildcats' probable starter since the Bayley was dismissed from the KSate team this summer for disciplinary reasons.
Joe Hatcher, who has seen little varsity activity, is slated to replace Steve Grogan,

last year's quarterback. Hatcher has a reputation as a good passer and he had a good spring practice. Only time will tell how he can adjust to big time Big Eight football.
Hatcher probably won't receive much help from his running game. Last year's rushing leader, Rocose Scooby, gained only 401 yards. Along with Regan Stenner, James Couch, Carlos Whifflett and L. T. Edwards, he is skated for a lot of backfield duty. The team won the title in both cases who was impressive in junior varsity games last year.
Defensively, K-State lost just five lettermen, including four starters. The line appears to be solid with transplanted RV players Brewin and Roy Shine and Ricky Grey at tackles and VC Chandler and Lou Wegener at ends. However, they probably won't be enough to the Wildcats to escape the cellar, where they've been for four consecutive years.
