Fullback Experience Backs Player of Week
If there is a football player with experience, he's Bill Gerhards.
Gerhards, Leavenworth junior, is playing his third year of varsity as fullback on the KU squad. Fullback is the only position he can ever remember playing. He played the same position for the junior high team in Leavenworth and for the Leavenworth senior high.
Football develops the person, Gerhards said.
It's like any sport, it develops self-determination. You are always wanting to better yourself whether you are in business or some other field.
DRIVE, DETERMINATION Player of the week Gerhards credits football with development of high goals.
"No one is ever satisfied with himself, you always want to do better. You are always aiming higher."
Saturday's game with Iowa State University illustrates Gerhards' drive to always go higher. The lone Jayhawk touchdown was spurred by Gerhards along with halfback Mike Johnson.
Kansas dropped their aerial attack for the Iowa State game to the surprise of many fans, but Gerhards was not surprised.
"We didn't pass because the Iowa State defense split their guards real wide," the 5'8", 213 pound fullback said. "The wide split gave us a chance to gain good ground yardage right up the middle."
Gerhards' eligibility runs out the end of this season although he will not graduate until January, 1967. He is a radio-television major and needs an extra semester to pick up the laboratory courses he missed this year because of football.
Many of the labs are offered only in the fall semester, he said.
Garden City senior. The combined efforts of Gerhards and Johnson totaled 53 vards and led to the touchdown scored by quarterback Bill Fenton, Kansas City junior.
"We had good defense except for three plays." Gerhards said after watching the movies of Saturday's game. "If we could just take those three plays away."
