Weather threatens match
Yesterday's rain may cause the cancellation of KU's 24-hour marathon soccer match against K-State that was to begin tonight.
But there was confusion caused by claims that the 24-hour game would set a new world record for a marathon soccer game, and we should sure what the current world record was.
Although KU's soccer club coach, Bernard Mullin, and several others involved in planning the match said Wednesday that the record was 20 hours and 15 minutes, the 1975 Guiness Book of World Records listed the record as 36 hours and 10 minutes.
The Gunness record was set in June 1974, by kennens from Edge Hill College in Ormstaff.
Even though a new record wouldn't be set, the game would start at 6 tonight if playing conditions were good enough, John
Deichmann, K-State soccer coach, said yesterday.
However, he said the condition of the playing field in Manhattan's City Park was "wet to flooded."
He said the match might be canceled at noon today.
The purpose of the record-setting attempt was to raise money and give publicity to the two clubs. Each team member was to have collected pledges for each hour of play.
Mullin said he had hoped to get pledges of $5 per hour for each player, which would total $1,320 if the 11-member team completed the 24-hour marathon.
However, assistant KU coach Richard Marchell said yesterday that pledges weren't as much as he had hoped. He estimated the number of pledges was about $2.50 per player.
Mullin said financial reasons were the primary motivation for the match. The soccer club hopes to raise funds to compete in the Big Eight tournament in Boulder, Colo., in April and also to take a spring break tour through Texas and Mexico.
Mullin said he had heed a Telex to the Guinness organization in London to clarify details about the match. He said that if a reply wasn't received today, he would call for information about the record and the playing rules.
The record-setting game played by the Edge Hill College teams was played without substitutes. KU's soccer team had planned to take five extra players to be substitutes.
Deichman said he had also heard that 37-hour records had been set in Georgia and in Manchester, England, but weren't listed in the Guinness book.
It's possible that fraudulent magazine salesmen are going door-to-door in Lawrence this week. The Consumer日报 this week the University of Kansas reported the university.
A spokesman for the office said that it had received calls from people who had been asked to send magazines or magazine subscription company called Pa Co Inc. The salesmen were reported to have said that they received rewards in return to the number of magazines they said.
It isn't known whether the salesmen and the company are legitimate because they haven't registered with the city clerk for a door-to-door sales permit.
Lawrence police answered a complaint last night from a citizen who said he had been visited by one of the salesmen when he arrived at the scene.
