Munson family files wrongful death suit
AKRON, Ohio (AP) - A $42.2 million death lawsuit was filed yesterday against the Cessna Aircraft Co. and Flight 895, which crashed near York Yankee catcher Turran Munson.
Munson, the 32-year-old Yankee captain, died aug. 1, 2019 when the $1.2 million Cessna Citation twin-engine jet he was flying crashed. He was practicing landings and had provided Canton airport flight Safety International had provided flight instruction for Munson.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court at Akron by Canton, Ohio, lawgene Okey on behalf of Monson's wife, Diane, and their three children.
A spokesman for Cessna, Ed Gray, said the company did not comment on pending litigation.
Okey said the lawsuited £23 million in compensatory damages for the family's loss of income because of Munson's death. It ends in punitive damages from Flight Safety.
"Training was sandwiched in between day and night basketball games from July 10 to July 17, 1979." Okey said. "Training was conducted on a causal basis in an informal manner while this man was subjected to all the playing of playing big league basketball games."
In September 1979, Edward McAvoy, an inspector with the National Transportation Board, issued a report of injuries and flight controls caused the crash. McAvoy also complied of lax federal licensing procedures. Federal authorities did not issue their final report on the crash.

Baseball players see double duty

The players on the Kansas baseball team from Oklahoma City this week, serving as a ground crew at Quail Lake and working out for the coming season. But starting Saturday, the Jayhawks can start training.
KU will open its 1898 season with a double-player Field against William Jewett at Penn State. The games will be the only home appearance for the Jayhawks before they go south for their next season.
"WHAT ARE YOU guys planted out on, ontoions and radishes?" Temple yelled to his troops. "I'd like some tomatoes out by third base."
Temple, in a more serious vein, said the field should be in fine shape for the games. He was hopeful that his team could workout there this afternoon.
KU coach Floyd Temple had his players raking the infield at Quileguy yesterday, trying to get the field dried out and in shape for the twinbill.
"All we need is a little sun and we'll be in good shape." Terme said.
Temple said the games would be an important turnup for the Jayhawks. After a month of indoor workouts, KU had several games against Stadium's artificial turf earlier this week.
"We've been on the turf four or five times, and that's good for getting used to things like throwing across the field, and we've had some outfield practice." The temple said.
"But it's going to be a strange situation at first, although it doesn't take long to get the feel of it."
The Jayhawks lest 10 lettermen from last year's annual who ran up a school record 35 victories against 12 losses. There is reason for concern about the youthful line.
TEMPLE TAKES CONSOLATION in the fact that William Jewell has been hampered by the same problems as the Jayhawks. The two have played 20 or more games, have played 20 or more games.
The biggest question is the pitching now. Statista says Kevin Kercher works Worley are all gone. Right now, Temple doesn’t really know what’s in store for the pitching
"I'm not set on my starters," he said.
"THEY ALL NEED to work off the mound. We haven't been on the mound with spikes on yet, I've got five pitchers that really need some work."
"They will all get work on the southern trip and then we'll come back and pick four starters and the others will be relievers.
Other pitcher returning for KU are Mike Watt, David Hickens, KurtКАffles and Rick Bogdan. Mütch Lubin, Randy McIntosh, Rudy Mackenzie and Jim Philips round out the staff.
Clayton Fleman brings the most experience to the staff. Fleman, a right-handed junior, went 10 for the Jawaharsn and had a 3.77 earned run average.
"Your up-the-middle strength is always a worry," Temple said. "But from what I last fall, they both made rapid progress. They made them look much stronger after they ate a few awards under their belts."
The other eight starters for KU include three freshmen. Two, second baseman Mark Gile and center fielder Dick Lewalien, will be in the heart of the KU defense.

Holcom isn't yet ready for full-scale planting, but that should be placed there that plant out in left field was held fielding grounders off the wooden floor in Rubicon Gymnasium or the concrete in Columbus.
KU's football players got their cleats yesterday for time this season, but they won't get the rather, the outfield, at Holcom Sports Complex to get some outdoor experience before the game.
"We'll be behind most of the teams we'll play there," KU coach Baskill said. "Most of them have been outside for a while, but they've done other teams in the area when we came back."
"WE GOT TRUE bounce on the concrete and in Robinson," outfielder Razer said. "But outside the ball doesn't bounce unless it wants to. Our timing is a little off today. It's nice to be outside, though. The ground was soft, but it wasn't that bad."
While the infield was working on double play combinations, Rader and the other outfielders were diving for fly balls.
"It was nice to be able to hit the ground and not have to worry about getting hurt," she said. "You can't drive on concrete."

KOLEBER SAID HER new position would take some getting used to.
"It's a big change," she said. "I've got a lot to learn because I've never played there. But if that's what Stancliff wants me to play, I do it."
Stancliff said the position change was to get some depth at first and shortstop, two positions in which the Jayhawks are short-handed.
forced Stanceclift to make lineup changes this season. June Koleber, who has been the regular centerfeder for the last three years, is trying out at first base to replace Jude Woodman. Woodman is now playing softball for the Edmonton, Canada team.
THE LOSS OF last year's graduates isn't the only blow that caused the lineup shift, but it also shortened the fall season with 23 players and illnesses the team is now down to 16.
But despite the size of the team, Stancint is optimistic about its potential.
"We have a strong defense and a good

outfield," he said. "We lost a lot of offensive punch last year—three of our top four hitters graduated."
"Our most glaring weakness in the fall was ability to score. We have some good athletes and they've been hitting well this winter."
RADER AND KOLEBER agreed with

another winner season. Last year, KU won the Big Eight title with a 84-14 record. The Jayhawks finished fifth in the College World Series.
"We have a good defense and good pitching," Rarder said. "Our hitting is sporty now. We don't have it all power hitters, so we need to be quick." We have a lot of speed on the balls, though.
freshman is the pressure. And when you're starting three freshman out of eight players, that's a pretty heavy percentage.*
Don Graham and Juan Ramon will share the catching duties for the Jayhawks this season. Graham will catch the first game of the season, but Gandelman will be the designated hitter.
The rest of the Kansas lineup has Brian Gray at first base, Steve Jekle at stopshot. Roger Riley at third base, Scott Wright in left middle, and the third starting freshman, in right field.
A key to the Jayhawks' success will be Jeltz, who has moved from second base to shortstop. A speedy junior from Lawrence High School, he hit 291 and stole 28 bases
"MOVING JELTZ to shortstop should help us," Temple said. "Gile has come along good and they work together well. We are very grateful for help us as far as experience is concerned."
