The Jayhawks'time to
shine was last year,and now, finally, it's time for K-
State to sparkle.
ldcats ready to take revenge
Rock Chalk Jayhawk?
I think not.
It's time once again for the head-bashin, go/postdestroyin', stadium-packin' K-State-Kansas football game. And for Jayhawks, it's time to start thinking about the Final Four or baseball season.
Kansas, 2-3, travels to K-State, 4-0, tomorrow for the 91st meeting between these two intrastate rivals. The Jayhawks are coming off their first Division I victory of the 1993 campaign, a 24-6 drubbing of unfortunate Colorado State.
One of my friends from high school attends Kansas, and lately he's been calling me for advice for his problems. One night he called nervously anticipating tomorrow's game.
"Well, at least we got a real win before we go to Mauhattain," Jason said. "It looks like we might turn this season around vet. What do you think?"
"To be quite honest, Jason, beating Colorado State isn't anything to get excited about," I said. "And as far as turning the season around, it's too late for that. Florida state initiated the tumble of KU, and Michigan State and Utah just added to the suffering."
I could tell Jason was becoming displeased with my taunting and began searching furiously for answers.
"Remember last year? K-State came to Lawrence 3-0, and we walked all over them," he said. "We won that one 31-7, and K-State's offense didn't even score a touchdown."
"You're right. It's going to be 1992 revisited." I said. "Only this time, KU's going to be the one getting walked on."
"I'll admit the Cats' non-conference schedule wasn't that tough. But the win at Minnesota was colossal," I said. "K-State has won nine straight games at home and the win over KU, the Cats will break the school record. The Jayhawks just don't have the personnel to match up with us."
"What makes you so confident? K-State hasn't played anybody yet." Jason said.
"Yeah, we're pretty beat up right now," he said woofly: "The rest of the year could be interesting."
"To say the least, "I said. "I know it must be hard to go from 8-4 and a bowl game victory to 2-3. I don't suppose you want to put a friendly wager on the game?"
"I don't think so. Maybe next year," he said. "I'll see you Saturday, I guess."
Obviously, I was the wrong person to call for support.
Kansas just has too many holes to fill and despite winning Saturday, the Jayhawks will come to Manhattan still questioning themselves.
K-State, on the other hand, has a level of confidence that will be hard to suppress. The Cats average more than 30 points a game and are 4-0 for the first time since 1931.
While Kansas had its week off before the Colorado State game, K-State has had two weeks to prepare for this game. Last season, Kansas had the week off to prepare for the Cats, and we all know the results.
KSU Stadium is expected to reach capacity and then some, which will only add fuel to K-State's flame.
The Jayhawk's time to shine was last year and now, finally, it's time for K-Sate to sparkle.
So, what is city prediction for the game!
K-State or a halva lotu. Kansas not very damn many.

KU police to aid in game patrol
By Scott J. Anderson Kansan staff writer
Football fans are not the only people heading to Manhattan for the Kansas-Kansas State football game tomorrow.
Officers from the KU police department will be there to assist K-State police and the Riley County Police department with crowd control and security, said Officer Burdel Welsh.
The Riley County Police department requested extra officers from KU and the Kansas Highway Patrol under a state law that allows law enforcement agencies to request help from other state agencies. Welsh said the law granted KU officers special jurisdiction while in Riley County.
"When you are requested by another agency you have the same authority as the officers in that jurisdiction," he said.
The Riley County Police department has brought in extra officers for this game since 1987, said Alvin Johnson, department director. Johnson said celebrating fans got out of hand in 1984 and 1986 in Aggleville, a small, college-oriented business district.
"We have basically followed the same plan since '87, and it seems to have worked pretty well," Johnson said. "We don't anticipate any problems. We want those who want to celebrate to come to Aggieville and have a good time."
In 1984, fans caused $70,000 damage in Aggleville, and several people were injured, Johnson said. He said the damage in 1986 was between $80,000 and $100,000. Most of the injuries and damage were caused by people throwing bottle and cans, he said.
Welsh said that some of the KU officers would leave Lawrence at 10:30 a.m. in order to be in Manhattan to assist K-State police at the game. Lt. Gary Gillaspie of the K-State police department said the KU officers would help keep the peace during the game.
"Basically, we're interested in preventing little problems from becoming big problems." Gillaspie said.
Welsh said more KU officers would leave later in the day to assist Riley County police in Ajieville.
Ed Skoog, K-State's student body president, said taic crowd control was addressed last night at a Student Senate meeting.
"There was no resolution, but we issued a brief statement encouraging people to act responsibly after we trounce KU." Skoog said.
Welsh said all of the KU officers' schedules had been arranged to accommodate the operation, so no overtime would be needed. He said the only cost involved for KU police would be gas for the patrol cars.
Welsh also said that K-State police had returned the favor last year during the NCAA basketball tournament. Officers from Manhattan came to assist with crowd control on Jayhawk Boulevard, but low fan turnout made the assistance unnecessary, Welsh said.
OFFENSE: Overcoming struggles
Continued from Page 1A.
three of the first four games because of a recurring ankle injury. Sophomore left tackle Rod Jones missed the Utah game because of a bruised shoulder suffered playing the children's game "red light, green light."
Mason said that the offensive line was one unit of a football team that depended on continuity of having the same players every week. The projected starting offensive line at the start of the season has only played two games together.
"What you try to do is build continuity with the entire line, not just the first five." Hempstead said. "Because
Junior left guard Hessley Hempstead said that continuity was important for the offensive line but not just among the starting unit.
of the situation we've faced this year, you have to learn to play with the other players."
The lack of continuity on the offensive line was evident early in the season opener against Florida State. The Jayhawks had eight consecutive plays inside the Seminole 2-yard line in the second quarter, but they could not score a touchdown.
Kansas ran all the plays to the right side near Florida State's goal line because Jones was out of the lineup on that series. He was replaced by junior Derek Brown, who made his first appearance in an organized football game.
"It makes a lot of difference playing beside the same person every game," sophomore right tackle Mark Allison said. "Hopefully, you know what the guy beside you is thinking if the
defense switches formations so you know what he will do."
The Kansas running game suffered from the lack of continuity in the first month of the season. Kansas averaged 176 yards a game rushing through the first four games, but they came through with a 220-yard performance in last week's 24-6 victory against Colorado State.
Schmidt said now that the offensive line was again intact, the Kansas offense should see improvements.
Sophomore tailback L.T. Levine benefited from a healthy offensive line by running for a season high 96 yards in the Colorado State victory.
"The continuity gives the whole unit more confidence." Schmidt said. "We just needed to get back and play together. I believe the offense is coming back now."
