The Jayhawks have clumped the wishbone in favor of what head coach Bud Moore calls “a mvdtiple scheme offense. “The multiple scheme offense is basically just what it says. You’ll see some veer, some play-action and some drop back. You 11 also see a split backfield, some I-formation and two wide-outs at times, Moore said. What that means is that Kansas Although the Aggies are favored, the Kansas coaches and players will not take it sitting down. “I can think of lot of people I d rather open up against than A&M. They are an experienced team with no weaknesses that I can see. They aren’t the kind of team you want to throw a young squad like ours against the first day of the season, but we aren’t shying away from them by any means,” said Moore. “I’d just as soon open up with someone like A&M as anyone else. We need to play teams like them to improve and come together ourse lves. They’re big, fast and talented, but I think our defense matches up well against their offense. Like most games, it will probably come down to who makes the big plays and who avoids turnovers, defensive hack Leroy Irvin said about playing the Aggies. Besides a new offense, the Jayhawks seem to have been run ning a hospital of sorts this fall. They lost two linemen before fall practice even started and since that time have kept the doctors busy with 14 injured players who will not see ac tion this week against the Aggies. With the exception rf problems the ^ 2±' A btg’pwornSc' The Kansas de fense seems to be one of the brighter spots for the Jayhawks this year. “‘p, Htu i oi our ii, success this year is going t 0 J the offense. If our defj spend as much time on the!-' clul last year, we couldL, lems. Moore said. • What does Moore think4 Aggies potent offense? A real stay millions of ile refuse to believe will be throwing anything and ev erything at the Aggies on Saturday. With the new offense, the Jayhawks should come out throwing the hall a lot more than last year. The Aggies defeated the Jayhawks last year in Kyle Field 28- 14. Two Kansas turnovers inside thier own 20-yard line lead to early Aggie scores and long touchdown runs by fullback George Woodard and halfback Curtis Dickey closed the door on Kansas’ 1977 season opener. But the Jayhawks are tough on home openers. The Aggies traveled to Lawrence in 1974 ranked fourth in the nation. The Aggies left Kan- Memorial Stadium with their first defeat, losing to the Jayhawks 28-10. That was the first meeting between the two teams. The Aggies are favored to win the third meeting this Saturday. Kansas defeats Aggies United Pres* International LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas defeated Texas A&M Tuesday af ternoon on quarterback Flip Wilson’s 40-yard pass to Jimmy Little with only seconds remain ing on the clock. The Jayhawks were wishing the victory was the real thing, hut the win was only part of a television special starring the comedian. Wilson, dressed in full pads and jersey, performed the show’s speaking parts. Quar terback Harry Sydney doubled for action sequences. Wilson and Kansas football team Itegan filming the football spoof that is to he televised l>e- fore next January’s Super Bowl. The comedian filmed sequ ences in locker rooms and with the Kl> offensive and defensive squads in mock KU-Texas A&M plays. Jayhawk defensive players were suited out in Texas A&M uniforms. The show is to include footage from the KU-Texas A&M football game Saturday in Lawrence. Kansas coach Bud Moore said his team enjoyed the afternoon and the attention of some 4,000 fans, but complained that the Jayhawks didn't accomplish much Tuesday. “I don’t think we ac complished enough today,” he said. “The TV special interfer- red, hut I knew it would. It’s good for the university and I think our kids enjoyed it.” Thursday Wilson is lo don dr* ?ss and makeup to portray his character, Geraluine, trying out for cheerleader with the aid of the KU pompom squad and the Sunflower Girls, the university’s athletic hostesses. KU is to he prominently iden tified on the program, expected to be broadcast Jan. 13. “The promotional value will more than make up for any in convenience, ’ Sports Informa tion Director Don Baker said. “They even changed the script for us. Originally it was to be a fictitious school. Wilson is to travel to St. Louis Friday where the Cardinals will be used for another segment oi the program.

Saturday in Kars modeled Memorial Stadium Grulich sets example on and off field You ve never seen a movie like it MMX. MSC Arts Committee Monday September 11 Rudder Theatre $1.00 8:00 p.m. By NATHAN HINES Battalion Reporter Carl Grulich has to be one of the nicest people a person could ever meet—off the football field. How ever, in the locker room, he goes through a Jeckyll-Hyde process to become one of the hardest hitting, quickest and smartest free safeties in the Southwest Conference. People who know him cannot say enough nice things about the 6-foot, 194-pound junior from Richardson. “He is a great guy, what more can you say,” said defensive end James Zachery. “He sets a good example on and off the field and he has a positive attitude for the team.” Dick Frazee, linebacker, said of Grulich, “He words hard for the team. He is a great guy and everyone looks up to him. He was all-confrence last year and we re spect him for it.” Defensive coach Melvin Robertson summed it up by saying, “Carl is the kind of kid you want your son to be like. He is a super person and a super athlete. Grulich is the president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Texas A&M. He is concerned with the spiritual growth of the team as well as the growth of playing ability. Grulich was the mainstay of the Aggie defense last year, intercept ing two passes and making 100 unas sisted tackles and 34 assisted tac kles. “I’m proud of this (the tackles) but I’m not happy,” Grulich said. “Anytime a free safety makes that many unassisted tackles there are holes in the defensive line. These holes hurt us a lot last year because I felt my main responsibility was the run instead of the pass. Because of this, the secondary got burned on the long pass too many times. "There have been some questions about how good our secondary will be this year. We should be a lot bet ter because we have more experi ence and our defensive line and linebackers are stronger. The line will give a better pass rush and not allow the quarterbacks to have a lot of time to throw the ball. They should contain the run better, which will let us concentrate on the pass. “Our goal in the secondary is not to allow any long plays, running or passing. ’’ Grulich sees improvements out side the defense, as well. "The defense isn’t the only thing that has improved this year, the junior free safety said. “We made a lot of changes in personnel at diffe rent positions that have helped; however, the biggest and probably the most important change is the addition of the I-formation “This will do more for the offense by giving Curtis Dickey a chance to show his talents. The I-formation will also make Mike Mosley more effective because of the sjn passes with the run option “A&M probably has thenw losive offense in the nationte we have the ability, strenai speed to break the longra nearly any play," Grulich ad* “The offense has the Imp this year, hut the keytotk*' gies will he the defenst reasoned.
