BEN BECOMES FOOTNOTE:
After an editorial meeting in London yesterday, publishers of the Guinness Book of Records decided that Johnson's 9.78-second clocking in the Olympics at Seoul would be the world's fastest bottom of the World Records table
Deputy sports editor Stewart Newport said the footnote will give Johnson's time but will add that he tested after testing positive for steroids.
Newport said the editors struggled with the decision, because there was no denying that Johnson had in fact thrown his arm over the wall. His 9-83 second run in the 1987 World Championship at Rome will remain as the fastest 100-meter dash record.
VOLLEYBALL TONGIC: The Kansas volleyball team plays the Drake Bullsleg at 7 tonight in Allen Field House.
The 2-15 Jayhawks lost to the Bulldogs Sept. 25, 15-9, 15-13, 5-15 and 15-6. Drake is 6-9.
Kansas has not won a match on its
left. The team's win over Frankie
Coutke Franklin said one of the
problems was the Jayhawks getting
too tight in front of the home
field.
"We want to look good at home and so we're trying too hard is my guess." Albitz said.
**JAYBERRY A ROYAL AGAIN**
John Mayberry, a star slugger for the Kansas City Royals in the 1970s, will return as a coach next season.
The American League club announced coaching assignments yesterday, with Mayberry and Glenn Ewell, who managed the Royals' first season, last season, joining four returns to the staff of Manager John Wathan.
Mayberry will work with hitting coach Mike Lum and in other areas, while Ezell, a former minor league catcher, will work in the bullpen.
Spinal condition forces senior to coaching role
By Jeff Euston Kansan sportswriter
Senior Rick Clayton expected to be starting at linebacker for the Kansas football team this season. Instead, he is a student coach.
Clayton, a three-year letterman from Arvada, Colo., was told he had to undergo surgery the first day of practice this fall. Doctors diagnosed Clayton as having a congenital spinal condition that posed serious health risks if he did not undergo surgery.
The news that his career was over came as a disappointment to Clayton.
"I worked so hard in the off-season preparing for this year," he said. "Then to get hurt like that on a field, that's kind of a hard bolt to deal with."
Last season Clayton started six games and made 33 tackles. After the initial shock of the diagnosis, Clayton met with Jayhawks coach Glen Mason and told him that he would help to help the team in some way.
"He (Mason) asked me what I "he went to do, and I told him I still needed to be in the team," Clayton said. "I told him I wanted to help out in any way I could."
"I'm glad he's remained part of it," Mason said. "He helps in a limited way, but he helps us. It's a good education for him."
Mason told Clayton that any help he could give would be appreciated.
Clayton may be on the sidelines now as a coach, but he said he still prepared for practice like he did as a player.
"I go through it the same way I would do as a player almost," he said. "I go to all the meetings and
scouting reports, I watch films with the guys. On the sideline, I catch something and I used a camera to help me help one of the freshmen, I show them the play. I'm like a graduate assistant, but I have a student camera.
With the switch to student assistant Clayton has become a teacher instead of a pupil.
"Players come up and ask me what runs were going to do or what practice is going to be like, but I know they are doing it out of those things," he said. "The players think that because I'm part of the coaching staff I know where we work on teaching them. They give me a hard time about it sometimes, but I like being around the team. It beats sitting at home and watching soaps from two to three."
One of the reasons Clayton decided to stay with the team was Mason. He said he was impressed by the success of the Kansas football program,
"I think Mason is going to be the same thing at Kansas that the Colorado, for example, is in Colorado," he said. "They were 10 and 0-11 and the next thing you know they were 7 and 4-8. This is really hard. You have there no comparison. He's done a great job with so little. I don't think the other coaches would be as tough."
"I coach Mason is here for her and I am there," she said. "Some more good players to supplement the ones he has now. I could force us as competing with the big players."
Clayton said he had plains other than football for the future although he enjoyed his new role.
Former Kansas linebacker Rick Clayton became a teacher instead of a pupil when a congenital spine condition ended his football playing career. Clayton is now a student assistant coach for the Jayhawks.
