Iowa State running back Tommy Davis has found that showering can be more difficult than playing football.
The 5-foot-8-inch, 179-pound sophomore from East St. Louis, III, fell while leaving the shower after the Kansas State game and suffered a foot injury. But the injury is not bad in the Cycle backfield Saturday against Kansas
Kansas has won the last three games, including a 24-11 victory last year, while Iowa State won three straight from 1976 to 1978.
"We'll just have to keep him from bathing," said Iowa State coach Donnie Dombrowski.
The Cyclones are cruising along at 4-3-1 this season because of a strong defense. The Jayhawks, meanwhile, have been unable to wolf off opponents haven't helped matters.
THE CYCLONES are the top-ranked defensive team in the Big Eight and the sixth best in the country. They have

Osborne, a 5-foot-10-inch, 186-pound senior, leads the Big Eight with four interceptions, and he has broken up 10 passes. McDonough, a 6-foot-4-inch, 276-pound senior, is the conference's top tackler for interior linemen with 78 stops. He also has blocked five passes and intercepted one.
The Cyclones have eight returning starters on defense, anchored by free safety McOsborne and left tackle Shamus McDonough, both second team starter and fifth returning starter, Rodney Hutchison is out for the season with a knee injury.
The Cyclones' kicking game appears to have improved from last year. Punter Kyle Goodburn had an average of 39.9 yards a kick before retiring to the sidelines with a broken leg in the Missouri game. But Doug Myers has
"Iowa State is a good football team," said KU coach Don Fambrough. "The strength of their team is in their ability to hit it tough on you to move the football."

stepped in to average 47.3 yards a kick in the last two games.
A'ex Giffords, an all-conference place kicker in 1980, has enjoyed a successful senior campaign. Giffords leads Iowa State in scoring with 53 points on 20-of-20 PATs and 11-of-15 field goals.
Giffords has connected on 39 of 19 field goals in his career and needs just one more to tie the Rig Eight record. He kicked foricks for Iowa State from 1972 to 1974.
The Cyclones, while relying on a single defense, have diversified their rosters.
"Besides having a good defense, they're doing more offensively, too," said Fambrough. "Last year, if you stopped (bullback Dwayne) Crutchfield, them. Now they're running the shotgun, split backs and an in-formation."
Davis has been Iowa State's most productive weapon. Harold Brown, a 6-foot-2-inch, 210-pound senior, has shared time with Davis at the tailback position and has gained 464 yards on 15 carries. He has gained 242 yards against Kent State.
IOWA STATE ranks fourth in the Big Eight in every offensive category, including 213.6 yards per game rushing; 148 passing; 363 total offense and 21.6 rushing yards.
206-pound senior, starts at fullback but has rushed for just 63 yards on 23 carries. Meanwhile, Jason Jacobs, a 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pound junior, has carried the ball 70 times for 361 yards in a substitute role.
Quarterback Dave Archer, a 6-foot-1-inch, 196-pound junior, ranks fifth in the league in passing and total offense with 88 completions in 168 attempts for 1,112 yards, five touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Split end Michael Wade, a 5-foot-10-inch, 186-pound junior, has caught 10 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown. He punt returns with a 10.6 yard average.
On the offensive line, four starters returned, led by right tackle Karl Nelson, the 6-foot-6-inch, 271-pound senior who earned All-Bie Eight honors in 1981.
"Iowa State is a much better football team than a year ago because they're healthy." Fambrough said. "They've been in the league, and they raved rather than on the infield list."
"I'm discounting Kansas' record," Duncan said. "My assessment is essentially the same as the writers' before the season — this is the same team that won eight games a year ago."
