The Jayhawks will meet in small groups with coaches for the rest of the week until formal practices begin Sept. 9. The team then can practice 20 hours a week during a six-day period to comply with NCAA rules. The team began weight training and running last week at the air-conditioned Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Even John Wayne would have shuddered in disbelief. "I'm new to the program," said freshman Ed Dus, his T-shirt drenched in perspiration after the two-hour practice. "But from what I By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter Enrique Abaroa, senior All-American and Kansas' top singles player, is excited about the team returning to competition, even if it happens during the heat of day. "We have to get used to the temperatures again," Bararo said. "But we are all just trying to get back to our normal level of performance, as well as improve." "Right now we're just getting warmed up and used to the school environment with classes and tennis," said Kansas men's tennis coach Mark Riley. "We've been in the weight room getting in shape, and now we're starting to get together on the courts as a team." The Jayhawks are preparing for their first tournament, the Wichita State Shocker Classic, Sept. 12-14. Participating teams haven't been announced yet for the informal tournament. Abarao's season debut will be delayed until Sept. 20-27, when he am told, this is going to be tough." Big 12 coaches prepare for season Kansas goes in blind in game against TCU The Associated Press KANSAS (1-0, 0-0) Texas Christian got a chance to see Kansas' 24-0 victory against Alabama-Birmingham, but the Jayhawks don't have the same a d v a n t a g e because the Horned Frogs are playing their season opener. But it all balances out, Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "We're kind of going in blind because TCU has a new defensive coordinator and they haven't played a game," Allen said. "But I think it balances out. We had a chance to get some first game jitters out of the way. On the other hand, they get a chance to take a look at what we are doing on offense and defense." KANSAS STATE (0-0, 0-0) Coach Bill Snyder knew yesterday who his starting quarterback would be for Saturday's season opener against Northern Illinois, but he said he wouldn't reveal the secret until after he informs the candidates today. Snyder is expected to choose among Michael Bishop, a transfer from Blinn (Texas) Junior College, sophomores Jonathan Beasley or Adam Helm to replace Matt Kavanagh. "There is a great deal of equality there," Snyder said. "Midway through last week we knew it would be a tougher decision than we'd anticipated. I knew I had to make a decision, and we wouldn't take it up to game time." MISSOURI (0-0.0-0) After reviewing his suspensions of four players last week, coach Larry Smith reinstated two of the players, wide receiver Harold Piercy and nose tackle Donnell Jones. Smith let suspensions remain on wide receiver Ricky Ross and full "Last Saturday, I received new information, and I reevaluated the four suspen- back Nathan Proctor. sions and lifted two of them," Smith said. "They deal with violations of team policy and regulations." IOWA STATE (0-1,0-1) Coach Dan McCarney said he was disappointed in losing the opener to Oklahoma State but more disappointed with the Cyclones' running game. "We have a good foundation and tradition of being able to run the ball, but Oklahoma State did a great job of disrupping our offensive line and schemes," McCarney said. "We have new starters in our offensive line and their defense has really improved over last season." COLORADO (0,0 0,0) Coach Rick Neuheisel said he wanted the Buffaloes to be a better running team. "I think the flow of the game, at well as the elements, will dictate how much we use the two-back," Neuheisel said. "We've got guys we call full backs, and we'll fin' it soon enough if they really are." NEBRASKA (1-0,0-0) Coach Tom Osborne felt the No. 6-ranked "What concerns you is to play up to your capabilities, and for a first game, we did reasonably well in that regard." Osborne said. Cornhuskers worked out first game kinks in a romp against Akron. OKLAHOMA STATE (1-0, 1-0) Coach Bob Simmons said senior leadership helped the Cowboys get through the "The seniors were a calming leadership influence," Simmons said. "This is a process we've had to deal with since the beginning of training camp. We knew we had to play with the hand that was dealt us." Ten of the players were declared academically ineligible and one was suspended for breaking team rules. TEXAS TECH (0-1,0-0) Freshman running back Ricky Williams apparently has earned a starting job in his first college game. "If we played today, he'd be the guy," coach Spike Dykes said. "I thought he played well as the game went on. What he did so well that was remarkable was he blocked very well. He played smart and he has a lot of poise. I'm really proud of what he did." Williams, from Duncanville, Texas, rushed 38 yards on 13 carries and caught two passes for 18 yards in a 52-17 loss to Tennessee. BAYLOR (0-1, 0-0) Coach Dave Roberts learned in his first game as the Bears' head coach where the program stands after a 45-14 thrashing by Miami. "I thought playing Miami was a great opportunity to find out where our program is located at the current time," Roberts said. "At times we played hard and at other times we didn't play very smart, but Miami had a lot to do with that. We feel we have a direction now where we need to go." TEXAS (0-0,0-0) Coach John Mackovic said he expected Rutgers to be improved from its 59-19 loss to Virginia Tech in its season opener. "Before you play a game, you're not sure what to expect," Mackovic said. "After the game, you recognize the things you feel good about and the things you don't feel good about. Players don't have that sense of evaluation. They don't know how they stack up until they play a game." TEXAS A&M (0-0,0-0) The Aggles were upset by Southwestern Louisiana last season in a game they were supposed to win easily. They don't want to repeat the embarrassment against Sam Houston State. "One of the scary things is all the preconceived notions of how the game should go, and things don't always out that way," coach R.C. Slocum said. THE KANSAN CLASSIFIEDS The Etc.
