The Texas Aggies will open their
1978 campaign against a young Kan
sas Jay hawk team that has a new of
fensive look.
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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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
