Kansas rugby team may face former WSU football players

Kansas will face rugby players and coaches will face tough opposition this weekend as they travel to Wichita State to play the Shockers. The Jayhawks will return to Lawrence and play the Chicago Griffins at noon on Sunday at Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets.
Wichita State could be helped by some members of the former Shocker football team. Wichita State will last year, citing financial reasons.
"I would anticipate that they are going to have some big players," said senior team captain John Brooks. "We've had the last year, so I know they'll be tough."
The Chicago Griffins are rated as one of the best teams in the Chicago league.
"It'll be good for our conditioning,
"we can avoid injuries,
we're so busy."
tough teams on two consecutive days would be a good test for the team.
The play of the Kansas forwards has been the most impressive part of the team so far this year, senior Paul King said. The halfback positions still are a little unsettled, though.
"Our backs are still working on their cohesion," King said. "They don't always get to play together, so they need to work on their conditioning."
Brooks said some of the younger players were going to be key players if Kansas was to challenge Kansas State for the league title at the end of the season. Tom O'Donnell and Steve Hogan were mentioned as new players that were helping the varsity.
Varsity coach Billy Mills said the
new players on the Kansas team were playing well, but that they still showed signs of inexperience.
"It'll probably be a good test for it." Mills said, "It's tough to judge how good Wichita State will be since I had to learn that, but I'd imagine they'll be tough."
King said the Kansas varsity, now at about midseason, was trying to develop a continuity of players to form the nucleus of the team. He said the team was pointing toward its position against Kansas State in November.
"The way we look right now, we've just about got our strongest varsity team ready to play." King said. "I think we'll give K-State a good run. We haven't beat them in a lot of years, so it would be great if we could beat them."
