Weight Vital Key in KU-Arizona Game
Patronize Kansan Advertisers
Weight may be the prime factor in Saturday's game when KU's Jayhawkers meet the Arizona Wildcats in their home opener at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Kansas will out-weight Arizona by 15 pounds in the offensive line. The Jayhawks boast a line that averages 226 pounds to a man. Arizona's offensive line averages 211. The Wildcats have the edge in the backfield averaging 194 pounds to 192 for Kansas.
SATURDAY'S game will mark the fifth in the series between Arizona and Kansas, but it will be only the second time an Arizona team has played here. Kansas leads in the series with two wins to one for Arizona.
Line-Up Announced
Arizona's Wildcats, coached by Jim LaRue, compiled a 6-3-1 record last year. Originally LaRue, who is beginning his seventh year at Arizona, said he would "have the heaviest team in years."
Probable starting offensive lineup for the Jayhawks announced today by Phil Dynan, Sports Information Director, include Elias, left end; Montgomery, left tackle; Harvey, left guard; Kreutzer, center; Perry, right guard; Dercher, right tackle; Smith, right end; Skahan, quarterback; Johnson or Miller, left halfback; Bacon, fullback, and Stokes, wingback.
Coach LaRue now looks at the season this way. "We have good physical ability and right now we have better offensive potential than we had last year. Defensively we hope to have another solid team. But our big problem is the lack of experienced personnel, with only 13 of 39, 1964 lettermen returned."
KU doubles Arizona's statistics with 26 lettermen returning for the 1965 season. Early in the season Mitchell, who is working with one of the largest squads in KU history, said the Jayhawks would be counting on determination to offset a lack of experience.
KU'S OFFENSE will probably run from "multiple T" and "T" formations. The Wildcats are expected to run their offense from T-formation and variations of T, with split backs and/or split ends.
Offensively an untied sophomore, Brad Hubbert, 62" and 210 pounds, carries the hopes for the Wildcats. Hubbert was the offensive star at the annual Arizona spring game with 115 yards in 11 carries, one a 53-yard one.
QUARTERBACK, TOO, will be a "green" position with junior Phil Albert, 61' and 180 pounds, in the top spot. Albert missed the entire season last year after being injured on the first day of practice.
The Jayhawk eleven dropped its season opener last Saturday to Texas Tech, 26-7, but were without
southpaw sensation quarterback Bob Skahan. Arizona defeated Utah, 16-9, in a Western Athletic Conference game Saturday in Salt Lake City.
