Walker Professes Leadership, Amiability, Honesty
Walker: 'Drugs Have No Use in College Athletics.'
These are excerpts from a taped interview with KU's new athletic director, Clyde Wulker. The interview was conducted by Kansas StaffWriter Gerald Ewing.
Kansan Staff Photo by PRIS BRANDSTER
KANSAN: You have been here for only one week. Has this given you enough time to look over and assess the program here, and decide what needs to be changed?
KANAN: At North Carolina, your main
wines were in the areas of recruiting and
financials.
Walker: I've spent my time since I've been here, on primarily my first objective of assessing the program. I have tried to meet all the personnel and talk with them. And then I've tried to get into as much depth as I can, concerning all aspects of this program to the set up we attempted to set up for completion reorganization of our athletic department. And by this I mean I a lot of loose ends that need tying up. Of course this all takes time and this is the thing that has bothered me the most. I haven't enough hours in the day. There are so many things that I feel need some change and looking into that I just go to have to be patient. I know a lot of these things are going to take lot
Walker: I went there in recruiting but I have been involved in administration of the football program. I worked for the football program. No, I don't think finance was a primary duty. It was one of my duties but I've been involved in the entire operation of the overall program.
KANSAN: Do you see recruiting and financing as two of your main points that will make you a strong candidate?
Walker: I think I'd rather use the words 'public relations'. I find it is something that is badly needed and this is something I hope I've already made some strides in. As I
sports
assess the program I think the best word I could use at this point is that the program strongly needs some leadership. And this is what I hope to lend to the program in the beginning, some leadership and some organization. Until these two things can be accomplished it's virtually impossible for me to get out and get started into other things. So really my No.1 objective is to make sure I can exert some leadership, and after that the many things I want to do will come at that time.
KANSAN: What kind of athletic director will you be? Will you be very authoritarian and exercise tight control over the program or will you give the people subordinate to
you some autonomy in running their own programs?
Walker: I expect to be on top of all situations that are developing within the program but at the same time I expect to give or delegate authority all the way down the line. There are so many things deadls you can do in a day, you can turn to over to somebody else. I find that we have some very competent people in this department which I'm happy with. They certainly will have a lot of authority delegated to them and I feel that there are so many other things that I need to turn my attention to. We have to organize setup. I hope to get involved in some of the bigger things. Since we've got the good people that I find here, certainly they'll be doing a lot of the day-to-day work. I will not get tied down to this desk and just run this program from this desk. I will probably be doing a lot of things who have told me you plan to do quite a bit of traveling across Kansas. How extensive are your traveling plans?
Walker: Of course timing is important in this. It's a matter of when I can get the things done. I feel like I've got to get this ship in shape before I can start on it. If we don't do right now is to learn everything I can about the operation of what is going on and look at all of these things and certainly make changes where necessary. The only changes that I will attempt to make are those that I feel can strengthen this program.
KANSAN: the area of finances. It recently wrote an article quoting Prof. Robert Sterling, a member of the athletic department at Texas A&M, who had a cumulative debt of $272,000. Several
persons have indicated the figure was exaggerated but agreed that there were financial problems. Would you comment on that?
Walker: I don't really care to comment on statements that other people have made. This is one thing I hope to get into deeply as a teacher or coach, but I'm more question that there are some problems here, some financial problems. I think this is true in most athletic departments across the country. This is one of the things that I believe are important for all students as I possibly can. It looks to me like something that is going to take some time. I feel very strongly that we have a lot of people who want to support this program. If I could be the right manner I think I can get that support.
KANSAN: During the Wade Stinson era, the athletic department was run as a closed, impersonal department. Will you run an open department and allow people to participate possibly examine financial records, or will you run an impersonal department?
Walker: I hope to work closely with the students. I hope to be able to listen to anybody's complaints or to be able to talk with any person or any group of persons that are interested in our athletic program. Where I come from the student money we receive there is about triple of what it is here. We have a relationship with our students and trying to show them where their money was going and what it was spent for.
KANSAN: Will your experience of high school coaching for 16 years help you in college?
Walker: Let me take it a step further. As I mentioned several times I have really been
Baseball Veteran Renews Debate: Did the Bambino Call His Shot?
Newsday
By STEVE JACOBSON
NEW YORK--Could any man have had the audacity to point his finger and boast he was about to hit a home run in a World Series game? Could any man then have had the consummate talent to do what he boasted? Even Babe Ruth?
But what did he mean? Was he really calling his shot?
Ruth raised his finger for all to see in the third game of the 1932 World Series—for the Chicago Cubs, pitcher Charley Root, the Padres, Field and the reporters in the press box.
Was Ruth indicating to the Cubs, with whom he had been exchanging the strongest language of 1932, that he still had one strike off? Or was he calling his home run?
The question still tantalizes, 41 years after whatever the fact was. It has been raised again in a new book, "Games, Asterisks, and People - Memories of a Lucky Section of largely empty calories by Ford Frick, former commissioner of baseball.
A reporter for the New York American at the time, Frick isn't sure either.
Of the 18 bylined stories that ran in New York in the late afternoon editions that Saturday or in the Sunday morning papers, four clearly indicated that Ruth intended to call his shot. The others, including West-Cooper, Paul Gallico and Bill Corum, were uncertain of what Ruth was doing or made no mention of anything out of the ordinary.
It was a time of superlatives and idols in sports and Ruth was the most superlative athlete of the time. On the day they played the game, there were three game of that World Series, Equipment Handicap worth $2,250, Handicap worth $2,250. The group depression was biting hard into America. A&P advertised rib lamb chops at 25 cents a pound and a housing developer advertised houses for $7,500 in Gibson, Long Island, an "exclusive Christian community."
Ruth went to bat in the first inning of the game and lemona came out of the stand.
They all make it quite clear Ruth and the Cubs were openly hostile, Ruth having cided them for voting only a half share to shortstop Mark Koening, a former Yankee who had played a prominent late-season part in the Cubs' pennant.
The papers of the day didn't make the game quite so clear. There is even a hint that may have called two home runs that the third game won, but the third game of a four-game sweep.
Harbald-Tribune, Ruth "paused to jest with the raging Cubs, pointed to the right-field bleachers and grinned." Then Ruth hit Root's first strike for a three-run homer.
But the one in the fifth inning is the one they talk about. The score was 5-5 then, Root still pitching, "A single lemon rolled out to the plate," John Drebinger wrote in the Times of Sunday, Oct. 2. "And in no mistaken nasts the Babe notified the nature of his retaliation would be a wallop right out of the confines of the park.
"Root pitched two balls and two strikes while Ruth stalled with his fingers after each pitch to let the spectators know exactly how to do it stood. Then the migtiest blow of all fell."
There was no question to Dreibinger, at least, or to Joe Williams of the World-
"On the train coming home, Babe told me, I must be the dumbest man in the world. If I had missed, I'd have looked like such a fool."
—John Drebinger
"Two balls were pitched and Babe jeered the Cub bench, the fans and Roog, grinning broadly all the time. Another strike was called and (Guy) Bush ran part way out of the duggot to tell the Babe that he was just a ball." (No, that's not right; any other ball ever was hit in this park.)
Williams wrote, "George Herman Ruth, who gets as much dough as her Berkert Clark Hoover, to be worth it. He certainly gives you more thrills . . . The Bambino hit on his head. And on the occasion of his second round-tripper, even went so far as to call his shot."
As dramatic as the gestures alone must have been, whatever they meant, Dan Parker made no mention of them in the Sunday Mirror, nor did Pegler in the late Saturday Post. Gallico, in the Sunday News, noted that Ruth counted two strikes on his
Telegram, who was the only man to use the term "called shot" immediately. The headline on his story said, "Ruth calls shot as he puts him离, 2 in side pocket."
"On the train coming home," Drebinger says, "Babe told me, 'I must be the dumbest man in the world. If I had missed, I'd have looked like such a fool.'"
There was little dressing-room reporting in those days and certainly not when the game was played on a Saturday. The one who wore the dressing-room jacket Associated Press piece in the Herald-Tribune, which didn't clarify much. "Did Mr. Ruth chase those guys (the Noisy Cubs) back in the dugout?" Ruth asked of himself to "Tell say Mr. Ruth did," he answered.
fingers and then circled the bases holding up three fingers.
"But words fail me. When he stood up there before 50,000 persons, calling the balls and strikes with gestures for the benefit of the Cubs in the dugout and, when, with two hands, he was going to hit the next one and hit it there, I gave up. The fellow's not human."
Farther down in the story, Root was quoted as saying, "If I had it to do over again, I'd throw the same kind of ball to Ruth and then duck." There's every chance in the world a pitcher will make precisely the same comment in the 1973 World Series.
That series ended on Sunday and there was no further mention of a called shot until Tuesday and nobody made a big thing of it, or even did anything. What of what everybody knew Ruth could do.
Pitcher Root maintained until his death that Ruth had indicated not a home run but that he still had a strike left, Ruth certainly didn't make either point in the daily stories run under his by-line, and Fricks said Ruth would point with him in later years with a grin.
And Gallicio, who was inconclusive at the instant, wrote for Tuesday, "He went so far out on the limb with his gesture and his repatriate and his comportment at the plate that he had missed his time and his money in it down. But the point is he didn't roar."
Dan Parker, who made no mention of the act in his game story in Sunday's Mirror, wrote for Tuesday: "... two hymns, each of which he called in advance."
Bill Corum had a column of one-paragraph observations of the series in the Evening Journal and wrote in the middle of the niece:
involved in every type of situation that exists; from a small high school, to a large high school, to a junior college to a small college and a major university. I do feel this has broadened my knowledge of athletics particularly the problems that exist in all sports, and that this will be helpful to me particularly in understanding other people's problems.
We do know that there were 3,000 fans waiting at Grand Central Station to welcome the Yankees home. Ruth, in the style the Yankees wore until the end of their dynasty, got off at Highbridge Station and Gehrig at 125h Street.
Frick had no byline in that series. His paper, the Evening Journal, had his picture on the radio page billing his broadcast of the Baker field basketball game at Baker Field that day.
WALKER: At this point I certainly wouldn't want to make any statements about what we're going to do until I look the whole situation over thoroughly. In time and if possible I'd like to broaden this athletic program.
KANSAN: You remarked in your press conference that North Carolina had a 14-sport program. Do you plan to expand the program here at KU?
KANSAN: As of late, there has been much written in the newspapers and elsewhere about the intensity of recruiting violations. Much of it deals with the charges that schools pay athletes to attend. Would you care to comment on that?
WALKER: First, let me say this. I don't think it is necessary to do those things to have a successful program. I've been involved in a program the past six years that was really on the bottom and at this point it is on the top. It certainly did not exist where I came from nor did we think it was necessary. I have made the statement and I
believe very strongly that our program will abide by the rules of this university, the Big Idea for learning. We learn things happening in recruiting. I recruited for about five years in nearly all areas of the country. I think a lot of the stories and books and read are blown out of proportion.
WALKER: Absolutely. The athletic department has such a background and history of great athletes and great achievements, and the University of Kansas is recognized everywhere as a great academic institution and one with a great history of athletics and also a history of great alumni. So I'm proud of this university, like situation this where all of this exists.
KANSAN: Does it help to be associated with a school, such as KU, with a great [1]
KANSAN: At what stage is the search for a new sports information director? Will you appoint a search committee or will you appoint someone yourself?
cocaine? There has been a great deal written on the subject of drug use by college and professional athletes. Would you care to comment on that?
WALKER: Any comment concerning Denny Lanz's situation should come from Coach Fambrouch. Certainly I would make my point known that I don't think that drugs have any use in college athletics. I hope that we don't have a situation here where a lot of this exists. I don't know all of the situations concerning this. In every part there has been there have been problems concerning this. In every part there have been and hear a lot of things. I sincerely believe as far as athletes are concerned a lot of this is grossly exaggerated.
KANSAN: What is the situation concerning the recent arrest of football player Jake Ellis?
KANSAN: You remarked in your press conference that you wanted to make KU one of the best schools, athletically. In the past, students will be needed to achieve this goal.

There are two ways of looking at it:
WALKER: First of all, I think it will take a lot of hard work and patience. Certainly my objective the long-run is to provide everything necessary, through leadership, finance or whatever, so the coaches can make their programs comparable to those of college athletes. In this way, I think the University of Kansas has the ingredients to be as good as anyone in the country, with the proper leadership and support.
