Wildcats To Be Weak At Guard And Center Spots
MANHATTAN Kansas State University coach Bus Mertes says injuries have left the Wildcats thin at guard and center for the Big Eight race. With no proven letter guards or centers, the team must improvise and rely on a reworked line. Optimism centers on backfield potential, including quarterback John Solmos though a shoulder injury may delay the opening game with Wichita.
