Going into the Washington State contest, Kansas was. figured to move offensively primarily on the throwing arem of quarterback Dave Jaynes, owner of but Jayhawk passing mark. Hwever, the Pacific Coast Conference team found that passing is not the only way the Big 8 Club can go. Instead of throwing, Kansas stuck mostly to the ground with Jaynes firing only nine pases.

"Our players don't sweat size" Martin said. "They figure they are going to out-quick the other guy anyhow." And it's a good thing. The Falcons, who average: 215 pounds across the front, open their season in regionally televised game with Oregon, which averages 2 265 pounds on the Saturday.

Spahn, enshrined at the Hall of Fame at. N.Y., this year, and Colavito, a rioted power hitter, will leave. at the end of the season, while. Lutz will depart after the series with the New York Yankees Sunday for. foot surgery.

"There are always, some things that are distasteful when you are putting. a team together," Seghi said. We are in last place and there are some facets of baseball which make necessary a change for the best interests of the club." They will be replaced by Clay Bryant, the Tribe's minor league pitching instructor, Tony Pacheco, who won a. Texas League title with Cleveland's San Antonio farm club, and a third man to be named later. Ken Aspromonte, whom Seghi confirmed will return as manager, said, "A coach has the to be an instructor.

That's most important factor. If he cannot communicate, with the players today, he's not young going to do a good job as a coach. "Most of the young' players, are in the major leagues so soon, too soon in some cases, that this ability to. teach is terribly important." Aspromonte said he. was "very optimistic about this ball and was going to move here from Washington.

Just to keep the enemy honest, Jaynes did throw nine times for 93 yards and one touchdown. While Kansas' offense was Impressive, the Jayhawk defense won the day. Sparked by junior defensive end Dean Zook, younger brother of the Atlanta Falcons' John Zook, Kansas almost completely throttled the Washington State attack. Zook was in on 13 tackles, nine of them unassisted.

Meantime, Florida State's young defense was having a better. than average night against Wake Forest since the Seminole defenders kept the Deacons from crossing their goal line. But the Seminole offense lacked inconsistency except for its 71-yard touchdown drive following the second half kickoff. In that lone TD drive pitched a pair of passes to Joe quarterback Billy: Sexton Goldsmith, another to Jim Everett setting up Hodges Mitchell's five-yard scoring run. During the week, Coach Larry Jones has juggled his offense line in hopes of making his running game more effective.

He switched strong guard Bob Jones to center, replaced him with sophomore Smokey Ragins and moved 241-pound David Harper into the strong tackle spot. MANHATTAN, Kan.

The damaged muscles didn't begin to swell, until after the game and Grogan was placed. on crutches Sunday and Monday. He missed Tuesday's workout. If Grogan can't play or reinjures the foot, he'll be jeplaced by Ed Johndrow, a transfer from Missouri. Kansas State has beaten Tulsa the last two years, but neither victory was easy.

The Wildcats scored a 19-10 margin in 1971 and won, 21-13, last year after a 13-0 halftime deficit. Tulsa opened its season last week with an impressive 48-3 triumph over West Texas State and rolled up. 513 yards total offense un the process.

State Opens Home Schedule out for his birdie at the 14th. Nicklaus and Weiskopf were 2-up at the turn against Clark and Pollard and never faltered; Trevino and Blancas turned 1up against Bembridge and Huggett, aided by Trevino's eagle three at the 558-yard fifth, while Snead and Palmer turned all square against Barnes and Butler after they exchanged six holes.

In the foursomes NicklausWeiskop were 3-up and sitting pretty when Butler pulled a 3- iron out of his bag to score an ace at the 188-yard 16th. The British birdied the 17th to send the match to the final green, but the Americans got the half to protect their necessary victory. Trevino and Casper were level at the turn in the foursomes against Coles and O'Connor, but a birdie at the 12th and a winning 13th hole put them in control. Burke was the losing captain when Britain last won the Cup 16 years ago at Linderick, Ireland, but he is reasonably confident the American's can retain the trophy Saturday because their forte is singles play. think our boys have performed a miracle.

For the second week in a row, Florida coach Doug Dickey will meet one of his former assistants in battle. And, to further the coincidence, when Kansas State's Vince Gibson left Tennessee as defensive coordinator, Southern Mississippi's P. W. Underwood replaced him. Follow the progression of these coincidences further.

Wehn Coach Underwood left McKay Says Tech Tough, ATLANTA (UPI) -Southern Cal Coach John McKay has been trying to convince his topranked Trojans that the oddsmaker was wrong when he made them 21-point favorites for Saturday's game with Georgia Tech. "Georgia Tech should be much better than Arkansas (170 loser to Southern Cal)," McKay insists. "Even though they got off to a bad start against South Carolina (which beat Tech 41-28), I would be surprised if they are not one of the better teams in the country by the time the season ends." McKay also insists that Atlanta weather may be in Tech's favor. "Sure, it'll be hot," said McKay. "We've undoubtedly some people who are way too fat.

We have several players carrying way too much weight (the interior offensive line averages 255 pounds). Arkansas actually made us look slow." Tech Coach Bill Fulcher counters that McKay is just using psychology. He points out that 1 the Trojans gained more than 450 yards against Arkansas, over 300 on the ground, and, in view of poor defensive showing against South Carolina, he's worried about stopping Southern Cal's offense. "With people like Anthony Davis, Southern Cal will be out to run the ball down our throats," said Fulcher.

Mentally we are anxious." Oregon opened its season with a 26-20 loss to Arizona State last weekend.

"We didn't feel good at all about the loss to Arizona State," Oregon Coach Dick Enrilht said. "We didn't come through when we needed We felt we should have won that game. "We a young football team: that certainly has the ability to execute offensively." The Ducks also have a. dynamic defense, which held Arizona State's famed rushing attack to 148 yards. The passing defense, however, was riddled for 282 yards by ASU quarterback Danny White.

And throwing is the strong part of the Air Force game. The Falcons, who have only one new face on offense -center Wayne Willis -have flashy combinations in quarterback Rich Haynie, receivers Frank Murphy and Greg Smith and fullback Bill Berry. They are all ready to be. starters fbr the third straight year. "Weshaven't had a chance to see them play.

this year," Enright said. "But we do not expect a great deal of changes from the past. Air Force' is basically a sound, well-coached team that doesn't change from year to year." Martin's main worry is defense -where three converted quarterbacks are among the first two teams of defensive backs.

It's Premiere For Autoball CINCINNATI (UPI) Automobiles swerve across an asphalt playing field, bump a four-foot rubber ball and try to put it in the goal controlled by other cars. It's called "autoball" and will be premiered Saturday night at the suburban West Chester TriCounty Speedway. Operator Bill Redwine has turned a 470-by-130 foot asphalt pit area at the track into a playing field.

Teams of four men and four cars will play "autoball," the entire Saturday night racing card. "It's not a gimmick," he insists. "We've been practicing for the past five weeks and if the first game is a success, I'd like to tour with it or franchise it." Each of the four team members will be driving a small foreign car. The goalie can drive in either forward or reverse, but the three other offensive players can drive only forward. The four-foot rubber ball is nearly an inch thick to keep it from breaking.

"We've developed some good players in practice," reports Redwine. "Some can hump the ball with their car and make a long shot of 100 feet and others can keep that ball right on the nose of their car and push it into challenge the And there'll be penalty shots. "We have two referees to decide who is at fault," said Redwine. "A defensive player is allowed to set a block. If the offensive player drives into a stationary block, then the defensive team gets a penalty shot," he explained.

"But if the defensive player creeps into the path of an offensive player, that is a DOWNTOWN THEATRE' 200 HARRISON PH. 785-8331 -THE NATIONAL OBSERVER "A JOY OF A MOVIE.
