K-State job to former KU aide
MANHATTAN (AP) - dim Dickey, a former football coach at Kansas, was handed the job yesterday of trying to lift the football fortunes of Kansas State Uller-
Dickey was an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Kansas under Don Farnham in 1973 and 1974. Dickey, the 43-year-old defensive coordinator at the University of North Carolina, was given a first-round pick by the Los Angeles "boach football" at a starting salary of $89,000.
"I'm a lucky guy," Dickey said at a news conference at which his selection was an award.
"I really believe I'm lucky," he said. "I believe good things are going to happen to me. My wife wouldn't have married me if I wasn't lucky."
Dickey succeeds Ellis Rainsberger, who resigned three weeks ago.
AT K-STATE, Dickey faces the task of trying to turn around a program that has seen its football team go down to 21 consecutive losses in Big Eight competition.
Dickey is no stranger to Big Eight play. He spent a total of nine years as an assistant coach at Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas.
"I'm totally and completely confident without reservations that we can do an outstanding job at Kansas State University." Dickey said.

Lynch, Lanier to call it quits
KANAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) - Linebackers Willie Lanier and Jim Lynch, who served as the defensive cornerstones of the 1969 Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs, jointly announced their retirements yesterday effective at the end of the 1977 season.
Lanier and Lynch are both 23-year-old, 11-year veterans with birthdays just three years old. They were selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 1967 draft and both have been starters since their rookie years. They also have played on the road for the past eight seasons.
"I got tired of carrying Lanier for 11 years," Lynch kicked at yesterday's press conference. "I didn't think I could do it a 12th season."
"It might seem kind of storybook," Ianer said, "but I don't know of two linebackers on one team who started together and finished out at the same time."

Dickey said his first move as the Kansas coach would be to meet members of the squad.
"I want the players at Kansas State to have a good understanding of what they can expect from me," he said. "I want them to understand what we want to accomplish."
Dickey said he also wanted to get people out to recruit prospects for Kansas State while he fulfilled a commitment to help North Carolina prepare for its Liberty Bowl against the University of Nebraska. He said he would report back to Manhattan Dec. 20.
