Slot Back Rick Abernethy Given Nod
Another sophomore, Rick Abernethy, has been chosen as this week's football player of the week.
Abernethy, Kansas City sophomore, plays slot back for the KU Jayhawks.
Last Saturday against Oklahoma State, the '510', 180 pound Aberneth carried the ball four yards for KU's only touchdown. Aberneth gave much of the credit to quarterback Bill Fenton, Kansas City, Kan., junior, who called his own game.
"FENTON RAN this play just right. He drew two Cowboys, then pitched out to me. Sim Stokes was just making a key block. When I got the ball, I knew I could make it," Abernethy said.
ONE OF HIS major difficulties is blocking, he says. Because of his size, it takes a lot of effort to move a 200-pounder, he said.
Abernethy comes from Center High School in Kansas City where he played halfback. Center has currently a record of seven wins and no losses, and is first in their conference, Abernethy pointed out.
In preparing for next Saturday's homecoming game against K-State, Abernethy says that a football team can not be too confident at anytime. He pointed out, however, that after five straight losses, the victory against Oklahoma State last Saturday produced an amazing gain of morale among the team members.
"THE TEAM is really up for the K-State game, and this is probably for several reasons. Our first victory has increased morale; it is homecoming; and, K-State has not even scored against us in the last seven years which reminds us of the old rivalry," he said.
ABERNETHY FEELS that the KU-K-State game will be one of the best of the season. The game will be a contest between a good K-State passing offense and a good KU passing defense. The Jayhawks will just have to grind this one out, says Abernethy.
crowd as there was, let alone its enthusiasm. This alone has done more than anything else to raise team morale," Abernethy said.
"Perhaps the most important factor, however, is the tremendous support the team received in last Saturday's game. After losing five straight games this year, the team hardly expected to see as large a
Although Abernethy scored KU's only touchdown against
Oklahoma State, coaches were not completely pleased with his overall performance, Abernethy said. He hopes to start in the K-State game so he can prove himself.
Abernethy is majoring in business, and says he would like to go on to graduate school after he receives his bachelor's degree. Abernethy says he does not intend to play football after college, and will, therefore, play his last years of football here at KU.
