Wildcats seek boost as players sell season tickets
Kansas State players Chad Faulkner and Eric Zabelin delivered a door to door sales effort to drum up support for the 0-27 team. The 270 pound seniors spoke with business owners in Manhattan, earning $4 an hour as student employees, aiming to show the community they are part of the program amid mounting attendance concerns. Floyd Snyder has warned the Wildcats must raise attendance from a Big Eight low 15,000 per game to salvage interest after 13 coaches since World War II.
