4 Wednesday, July 28, 1976 University Daily Kansan U.S.A. reclaims basketball gold Bv KELLY SCOTT BY REMI SCOTT Kangan Olympics Correspondence MONTREAL—I thought I heard the strains of "Back Home Again in Indiana" as they raised the American flag last night after the United States recaptured the gold at the 21st Olympic Games, beating Yurielaolvia, 95-74. What's most important is that the medal is back in the country at all, but if there is to be a special home for it, it would have to be Scott May, Quinn Buckner, and Adrian Dantlev territory—the Hosserion state. Indiana Americans had put quite a premium on getting that gold medal back after what has been called "that controversial victory by the Soviets in 1972" in every basketball story written in Montreal this week. The people who came to Montreal with revenge on their minds have a scrappy team of individual talent to thank. But the leadership of that team came from Indiana, where basketball comes right after God and country. In last night's championship game at the Forum, the Hoosiers on that team again had their day. Dantley, the huhstie Notre Dame forward who terrorized college teams and had a game-leading 30 points. May followed with 14. There had been some speculation that the emotional level of last night's championship game would be diluted when the Russian team, those arch-villains from 1972, failed to make the finals. They lest to Yugoslavia Monday. We wouldn't get to play Russians at all, after four bitter years. When I got to The Forum last night, the scalpers were doing a good business. Tickets were going for about $125 and, although I didn't see a sale, there were several people dickering for tickets. And I didn't notice that the crowd last night thought the game was anything but the ultimate experience. Each row of the Forum was neatly filled with screening fans, most *of* the really loud ones rooting for the U.S. They were almost embarrassing in their lavish affection for the American team. I kept thinking, they can't all be from the States. What prompts a Canadian or a Mongolian to cheer for the United States rather than an underdog team like the Yugoslavians, who pulled off a real coin when they defeated the Russians? Several celebrities in the SRO crowd of 16,000 helped stake enthusiasm to new levels. The Froum was definitely the place to be last night. Track and field took a hiatus yesterday, and platform diving and quarter-final boxing couldn't compete for the fans' attention. Former KU basketball star Wilt Chamberlain was at courtside, causing a commotion, but bandy waving away reporters. Dave Cowsen, center for the world champion Boston Celtics, is reporting the game for the Lowell, Mass., newspaper. He too, was there for the game and not for interviews. The ritual began when the teams paraded onto the court behind an Olympic official bearing a standard identifying each squad. Then came the traditional gift exchange. I couldn't see what the two teams exchanged, but it reminded me of those $1-maximum Christmas grab bags in junior blitz. The Americans then slid smoothly into their warmup routine, running and laying the ball up with grace and precision. They were especially fond of dunking the ball. Unlike the NCAA, Olympic basketball permits the dunk during warmer, and the players practiced it with great intensity. The team began dunking the ball, brought a minor roar from the crowd. The rest of the team began dunking. After such dedication to the shot, I expected to see in the game, but evidently Coach Dean The 'Yugslavs, meanwhile, betrayed a lack of finesse that would plague them during the game. As the Americans ran their structured warmup, the Yugslavs milled disjointedly under the basket. Smith's game plan didn't call for it. I think they dunked three times during the game. May and Dandley got the bigest cheers from The Forum crowd, Mitch Kupchak, the North Carolina center, also was warmly received. Little Phil Ford, Smith's playmaker from Chapel Hill, was another favorite. Too bad for the capacity crowd, the starting team of May, Buckner, Dantley, Ford and Kupchak came out after eight minutes in the first half. Smith substituted during unit until it played together again until late in the game. The U.S. led 50-38 at half-time. But at certain points in the second half their befty lead was cast to eight points. With 8:25 to play, the starting team went back in to build on a 12-point lead. The game got physical and Buckner had an easy win. Buckner had possession as the final buzzer sounded. He ran out the clock hugging the ball and doing a little dance as the last three seconds ticked away. Then the team swamped the court, one giant pile of bodies hugging bodies and slapping butts, and feet jumping up and down on each other. I wondered about the gut reasons for their reaction. Was it the revenge that had simmered for four years? Was it pride at having won for the U.S.A.'s Or was it the desire to win back the country who came together and pooled their vast talents, gilled and proved that that combination could beat anyone in the world? Administration wilts Student Senate team,13-9 By LEWIS GREGORY Staff Writer Hard hitting, speed and endurance took the administration softball team to a 13-8 victory over the Student Senate team last night in their second annual softball game. A six-run explosion in the second inning kept the administration on top the rest of the game. Del Shankel, executive vice chan-ger, the winning pitcher in the fast pitch game. "We will beat the pants of the administration," Tedde Tasheff, student body president said before the game. "It's too much. The administrator would play with them." STUDENT SENATE secretary Carol Jacobs grounder to Mike Davis, university general counsel, started the ball game, played in blistering 90-degree heat. "The game will be a tough battle, but the administration will win," Shankel said. In the second iming, Dan Rayer, Prairie village junior sent to Tsaff for the first service. Gerhard Zehnder, former University senate executive committee chairman, hit a fast ball and drove in Max Lucas, assistant coach of the New Orleans Lacrosse was 4 for 4 at the end of the game. Richard Lee, director of supportive education services, sent Tasheff running in pursuit of his smash hit while he went for home. At the top of the third inning the score was 9-3 and the administration started taking the ball. THE GALLERY included Mrs. Del Shankel, Mrs. Ronald Calgaard, Ellen Reynolds, graduate senator, and Adrienne Sparks, Essex Esm, member, other spouses and children. The rest of the five-inning game was dominated by the Senate team, but the Senate couldn't catch up to the administration. In the top of the fifth inning "IT'S ONE of those things that happens all the time," Tashseff said. "If we had one more day, we would win over the administration." MONTREAL (AP) - Sixteen-year-old Greg Lougain was a second place in platform diving, one of four metals won U.S. Olympics yesterday. "We tried to keep the game as close as we could, but couldn't help but get ahead," Davis, administration coach said. "Quality came to the foreground." 16-year-old U.S. diver wins silver medal THE AMERICANS advancing were wedge-lightweight sugar Ray Leaf, flywheel And, with the basketball team making a runaway of its gold medal game with Yugoslavia, he got a lot of television time, too. So did the boxers. In the early bouts, four Americans advanced to the semifinals, where they're assured of at least a bronze medal.

Rovals lose, 2-1 NAHEMIA (AP) - California's Frank Tarana made Andy Etcheller's two-run double stand up with a four-hit 21-victory over the Kansas City Royals Tuesday night as the Angels snapped Paul Slittorff's club record eight-game winning streak. Tanana, 12-7, struck out seven while facing only two men over the minimum.

Baker said that Phillips had resigned to take a job with the All-Stars. White's position remains uncertain. By COURTNEY THOMPSON Staff Writer Two changes in the men's athletics department at the University of Kansas are the results of a new NCAA ruling that makes Assistant coaches a football team can have. Hank Hettwer, formerly an assistant football coach, has been named to the dual position of academic counseler and recruiting co-ordinator effective Aug. 1. Don Baker, sports information director said Monday that recent NCAA legislation, which becomes effective Sept. 1, limited football coaching staffs to eight assistant coaches. Last year KU had 11 assistant coaches. "WED HAD TO do something with the three extra coaches," he said. "We didn't want to fire them so it was necessary to relocate them in some fashion." Baker said. "We're still attempting to re-locate him. Clyde Walker, athletic director, has plans formulated which are subject to NCAA approval. He intends to create a needed position for White within the KU men's athletics department." Baker said. Skahan said that he'd notified Walker last January of his intended resignation. At the end of the summer Skahan will complete his duties under administration, higher education and business. Baker said that this new position would be one which was needed and wouldn't be just a means of keeping White on the staff with busy work. HETTWER's appointment to the dual position of academic counselor and recruiting coordinator was made possible because he was working step down as academic counselor, Ayw. 1. Skahan said that, contrary to popular opinion within the athletic departments, his team was not expected to be wrong he thought there were many things wrong in intercollegiate athletic programs as a whole. KU is one of several institutions experiencing problems with procedure for conducting athletics. Skahan said that he spoke to a Wichita newspaper regarding nationwide problems with methanol use. "THE ARTICLE deals with the present attitude of universities toward their athletes, priorities of these schools, and the overall purpose of intercollegiate athletics. "the references made were not intended to apply only to KU but I did acknowledge that KU wasn't exempt from many of the problems in men's athletics today." he said. problems in men's athletics today," he said. Skaahan said that Walker disagreed with some of the statements he made to the presentation, in no way responsible for his resignation. "We've always had our differences (Walker and I) because we have different philosopheries concerning the priorities of collegiate athletics programs. But if I were in his position I would have questioned me about statements to the Wichita paper," he said. SKAHAN SAID Walker thought something should be done to correct problems outlined by Skahan if, in fact, they existed at KU. Although their personal goals are different, Skahan said, Walker had done an excellent job of restructuring the men's athletic department. "I think we are losing sight of the academic priority in college athletics. The phrase 'student athlete' is almost a totally hypocritical phrase. I think we must act to further that relationship between the academic aspect and the athletics" he said Kshaan he thought Walker saw the primary purpose of an intercollegiate athletic program as a business operation, with a show business flavor. He said that, in contrast, he was interested in the conflict of academics vs. athletics. ALTHOUGH several college athletes have had the good fortune to become super stars, it's important to remember that the players who "ran asians" when they left college, Skahan said. He said that he liked the attitude of the Ivy League schools toward athletics. "People still get excited about the Harvard games but they don't lose sight of the fact that student athletes are intended to be students, not just jocks. I think most schools need to re-think this situation and recognize the emphasis of their programs," he said. WALKER COULDN'T be reached for comment. Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director, confirmed that Skahan's basketball team had no bearing on his resignation. "We don't fire people because of stories in the paper. Walker or anyone might not like what I say to you today but I'm not going to be fired because I state my opinions," he Both Baker and Waugh said that Skahan had done an excellent job in athletic competitions.
