The KU Jayhawks, delayed by snow and wet grounds, managed to get in their second spring football practice Saturday afternoon. The three and a half hour session was capped by a $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ hour scrimmage.
KU head coach Pepper Rodgers was pleased with his team's hustle and desire but was dismayed with the sloppiness of the scrimmage. However, after considering the practice was only the second of the spring, Rodgers expressed overall satisfaction.
Individually Rodgers had high praise for quarterbacks Phil Basler and Dan Heck. Basler, an Independence, Mo. junior, completed 10 of 15 passes in the scrimmage and ran well from his position. Heck, an El Camino Junior College (Torrance, Calif.)
transfer, completed 8 of 19 attempts. Currently Basler is listed as the number one quarterback with Heck running second.
Other quarterbacks getting into the action were sophomores Rich Jones and Bob Bruegging. Jones, from Columbus, Kan., completed 4 of 7 passes while Bruegging, from Kansas City, Mo., failed to complete a pass in five attempts.
Rodgers said at the outset of spring practice that the quarterback position is of prime concern and is a question that needs to be answered before fall.
Rodgers also noted that John Riggins, the Big Eight sophomore of the year in 1968 but who fell to only mediocrity in 1969, looked as if he had regained his form of two years ago.
Vince O'Neil, the controversial transfer from Hutchinson Junior College, showed why he was so highly sought in the early moments of the scrimmage when he broke through the middle for a 75-yard run. The 6-1, 200-pounder displayed great running ability in addition to power.
An unfamiliar but popular figure to the 200 or more interested observers was Don Autry. Autry, a tailback two years ago who suffered a severely broken leg in the second game of the season, is still trying to make a comeback. Working out with the quarterbacks, Autry showed promise of such a comeback although it is still not likely that he will be ready by September.
The Jayhawks will return to the practice field today with a 3:30 session in Memorial Stadium.
Robisch returns
Baseball coach Floyd Temple announced last week the return of All-Big Eight pitcher Dave Robisch to the Kansas baseball squad. The 6-9, 230-pound left-hander had previously decided not to compete in baseball because of an extremely tiring basketball season.
Robisch was the leading pitcher on last year's 12-14 team with a 2.57 earned run average and a 4-2 record.
All three games between KU and Oklahoma State scheduled for Quigley Field Friday and Saturday were called off because of bad weather and wet grounds.
