Midwest football powers likely to dominate season
CHICAGO (AP) - Oklahoma's Sooners, seeking a third straight national collegiate football championship, will find the comeback team by strengthening strength with other side powers.
The Sooners first have to prove they are better than Nebraska in the Big Eight. They will have to contain with independent teams with Michigan and Ohio State of the Big Ten.
Notre Dame won the national championship in 1973, finished sixth in the national rankings in 1974 and dropped out of The Associated Press Ten last year.
LOOK FOR THE Irish to be back
Oklahoma lost the Selmor brothers, Lorey and Dewey, along with running back Joe Washington and quarterback Steve Davis. But there has been no breakdown in recruiting and coach Barry Switzer has a powerful force of youngsters ready to carry
Nebraska, which rolled to 10 straight victories before losing to Oklahoma and to Arizona State in the Sun Bowl, has a veteran team returning, including quarterback Vince Ferragano and tailback Monte Anthony.
Notre Dame has a flock of running backs led by Jerome Heavens, Steve Orsiani, Al Hunter and Mark McLane to go along with quarterbacks Rick Slager and Joe Montana. On defense, the Irish are awesome. Ends Ross Browner and Wylie Fry are once again led by Jeff Offenbacher. The deep backs are led by Luther Bradley, Mike Banks and Randy Harrison.
MICHIGAN AND OHIO State—probably in order that until the meet in the week of the regular season—again will dominate the Big Ten. The two have won or shared the conference title eight straight and is no indication either is ready to abdicate.
quarterback and Rob Lyle returns to tailback now that Gordon Bison is gone. Calvin O'Neal and Greg Morton anchor the defense.
Woody Hayes has lost the likes of Cornelius Greene, Brian Bassan赫 and him. The teamism Trophy winner Archie Griffin from his Ohio State backfield.
BUT HE HAS fullback Pete Johnson, sophomore quarterback Rod Gerald, repulpit brother Greene, and repulit Ron Springer, leading junior college rusher and score.
Ohio State won't be caught with its defenses down. A bevy of stars return. The Buckeyes have an added dimension in the attack. If they also will do the place-kicking this year.
In the Mid-American conference, Miami of Ohio will be seeking a fourth straight championship and the Redskins might play in the Super Bowl. Ball State and possibly Central Michigan.
Tulsa again is the reputed power in the Missouri Valley with New Mexico State and West Texas State providing the strongest challenges.
KANSAS COULD break through in the Big Eight if either Nebraska or Oklahoma falter. Kansas upset Oklahoma 23-3 last year and returns 16 starters including quarterback Nolan Cromwell, the league's quarterback, and running back Laverne Smith.
Missouri went erratically downhill last year following its upset victory over Alabama. The Tigers have one of the toughest schedules in the country. It includes games at Southern California and Ohio State.
Missouri will again have Steve
Pisikiewicz throwing. Curtis Brown and
Brett Favre were injured.
Oklahoma State returns 17 starters, including quarterback Charlie Weatherby and could be a darkhorse in the race. Also in this game will be Terry Miller and Robert Turner.
COLORADO LOST heavily to graduation, including quarterback David Williams. But the 49ers have not made much progress.
Moorehead are back. The Bufs have a crop
and could develop as the season progresses.
ruck in the Big Ten, Purdue and Minneapolis, but don't budge banners to either Michigan or Ohio State.
iowa State hopes to improve on a 4-7 record but not even to contend. Kansas State won three, lost eight, but will have 15 starters returning.
Purdue has a top-netch quarterback in Mark Vittal to go along with running back Scott Dierking and 15 other returning players. And this year's last five year, then won four of their last six.
MINNESOTA HAS a tremendous passing attack with Tony Dungy pitching to receivers Ron Kullas and Mike Jones. Dungy and Kullas combined for a batch of passing and receiving records last season. Minnesota also has a top-flight middle guard in George Washington, who led the Big Ten in individual tackles.
innombs won't be wanting on defense, especially up front. Tackles John Diflicentioh and Dean March and linebackers Scott Studwell and John Sullivan will keep the Illini respectable. If quarterback Kurt Steger and running back Chubby Phillips can provide an offense, the Illini could cause trouble.
Michigan State has its share of talent but the Spartans are shackled by NCAA restrictions because of recruiting violations. Mike Marshall steps in at attack for Michigan, but the running back Levi Jackson, and will have a new coach in Darryl Rogers.
INDIANA WELL score points with running back Courtney Snyder and quarterback Terry Jones, but the Hoochs will their problems stopping the opposition.
Northwestern also will be strong, on the attack with running back Greg Boykin and the passing combination of Randy Dean to Scott Yelvington. Defensive strengths include middle guard Paul Maly and the return of back Pete Shaw.
Wisconsin fell apart last season and this could be a long season for the Badgers. Similarly, Iowa is rebuilding and the teams will have trouble generating an offense.
Jayhawks look to Oregon State
Formal preparation for the game between the University of Kansas and Oregon State University is to begin today, according to head football coach Bud Moore.
Moore said after practice yesterday afternoon that he wasn't sure whether Oregon State would use their traditionally strong defense in the playoffs or go to a running and ball-control game.
"We really don't know much about them," Moore said. "They've brought in 20 junior college transfers and an entirely new coaching staff."
Oregon State's new head coach, Craig Fertig, was both a player and coach under his "John McKay," who became head coach of the NFL's Tampa expansion franchise.
Moore said KU defensive tackle Mike Butler, who hasn't been at full strength since he dislocated a knee in practice last week. Butler's injuries are either today or tomorrow. Moore said.
Moore said he thought the team's concentration had improved since an intrasquid scrimmage Saturday but still wasn't as good as he would like it to be.
No decision has been reached on whether
Golf meeting set for tonight
Senior Skip Sharp, a halfback last season,
continued to work out as a cornerback on KU's first-string defensive team. The 'Hawks spent much of yesterday's practice working on short-yardage situations and goal line offenses and defenses.
Anyone interested in trying out for the KU varsity golf squad should attend a meeting at 7 p.m. today in the Allen Field House annex.
Coaching this year's team will be Jerry Waugh and Max Kennedy.
any KU football players will be red-shirted this season, Moore said. A red-shirted player still works out with the team but doesn't play in any games during a particular season, making him eligible for an extra year of intercollegiate play.
