Mitchell Dismisses Notion Of Accepting Athletic Post

Jack Mitchell has no intention of becoming the University of Kansas' next athletic director. But he hopes the search committee moves slowly to obtain an outstanding successor to Wade Stinson, who resigned last November 15, because of
Jayhawks Post Winning Season
Kansan Sports Writer
By BRAD RHEA
For the first time in four years, the 1972 UCLA Kansas队 team had a winning season.
Hawne hopes for a third or four place finish in the Big Eight tourney. "The Hawks" will be one of three teams to qualify.
Coach Mike Heward's squad is currently in a battle with Oklahoma State for third place in the Big Eight standings. The Cowbys haven't finished their season yet.
The "Hawks recorded a 14-6 record in regular season play. And the team will finish the season's competition with the Big Eight championships May 18-19 at the Homestead Country Club in Kansas City, Kan.
Tennis prospects look good for KU next year. The team has seven of its top eight
players returning, Mark Wick is the lone member not returning.
The athletic department plans to increase funding for tennis next year. Four additional scholarships are expected to be given. Currently only two scholarships are given.
Howard attributes the team's success to the players' attitude and hard work.
"Dutch Lonborg has been especially instrumental in the tennis program," Howard said. "He has helped with financing and with the young players. He has taken a real interest in tennis and this really helps the program."
"I've never seen a better team as far as attitude is concerned." Howard said. "They have a lot of energy and motivation."
strong opposition factors with the alumni.
Sheldon Coleman, Wichita junior, posted the best individual record of 15-5. Pete Read, Bloomington, Ill., freshman, was second, with a 13-7 mark.
Because of the additional scholarships, Howard puts to recruit this summer. Hill admits him in January.
KU-K-State Track Meet Scheduled for KU Stadium
According to Bob Timmons, the KU track coach, the meet should be a great one and will be the first time the two schools have met in dual competition since 1968
The 40-yard relay should be especially exciting considering KU and KState have won the NCAA championship year. The two school's huddle could result in a fierce battle over the last three weeks, with winning at the Texas Relays and winning at the Kansas and Drake Relays.
The premier events of the afternoon appear to be the 440-yard relay, 100-yard race, 120-yard dash, 120-yard high hurdles, 440-yard intermediate hurdles, high jump and long jump.
The University of Kansas-Kansas State University dual track meet, to be held Saturday and originally scheduled to be at Manhattan, has been moved to Memorial Stadium because of uncompleted concession work on Kansas State's new track facility.
"It shapes up to be a real close meet, at least on paper," Timmons said. "Both schools have strong track programs and if they compete it should be really tough."
The 100-yard dash will also renew a rivalry between KU's Mark Lutz and K-State's Dean Williams. Both men have posted excellent times of 9.4.
The meet will start at 5:00 p.m. at Memorial Stadium following the annual KU tennis tournament.

Howard said he also hopes to add to next year's schedule. He plans on more fall matches and possible competition in the southern states and in California.
Duncan Reau, Lincoln, III., High School basketball coach, has been named assistant basketball coach at the University of Florida. Coach Todd Owens announced Thursday.
Injuries might be a factor in the outcome of the meet. Two of KU's top attacks, Barry Schur in the high jump and Sam Colson in the javelin, might not compete.
Colson is suffering from an arm injury and Schur from a leg injury, both of which have hampered their performances throughout much of the outdoor season.
Timmons said that KSU-KU dual would probably be an annual event. "When you consider the track history's of both schools, it is evident that the meet will turn into a great rivalry," he said. "It should turn out to be a very exciting meet."
"I don't see why KU can't be as good in the athletic field as they are in the academic field." Mitchell said. "We should be able to the athletic director as qualified as Dykes."
Owens said that Reid would succeed Jim Karabetsos, who resigned last month to take over as head coach of Regis College at Denver. Reid is a graduate of Milliken University at Decatur, Ill., and holds a master's degree from Bradley University.
One of the reasons for Lincoln's impressive season this year was Norman Cook, a 6-1 high school All-American center, who will also be coming to KU this year.
His teams at Lincoln won 174 games and last 63. They had a 30-1 record this past season.
Cook averaged 24 points and 15 rebounds a game for the season.
LOS ANGELES (AP)—BILL Bradley scored 26 points and a stingy New York defense checked the Los Angeles scoring attack Thursday night as the Knicks won their first National Basketball Association best-of-7 championship series at a game apiece.

YUK IT UP AT THE YUK DOWN

He said he was involved in too many outside activities, and it would be impossible to break away. He also said that he believed whether it would be good for the University.
Mitchell has talked with members of the athletic board, but insists he was never an opponent. He is confident potential candidates with several persons across the state, to get their ideas. Mitchell said it was not an interview, just a phone call. He clearly understood that he was out of it.

He said that the athletic board has no reason to hurry in selecting a new director. If 'a group tries to hurry up and be pressured they usually use it up,' he said. He also told me that Dutch (Lonborg) up there with as much knowledge as the rest combined.
Mitchell has not met Archie Dykes, the new chancellor, but he is enthusiastic over the selection. "Dr. Dykes is the finest choice he have ever made for chancellor," he said.
Mitchell said when Dykes is installed in July, he should be able to aid the board in selecting the new athletic director. "Dykes will have to work with him, and it ought to be up to him who he wants to work with," he said.
He also praised Gale Sayers, assistant athletic director, who he said was doing a fine job with promotion activities. Mitchell coached Sayers at KU, before Sayers became an All-Pro National Football League player with the Chicago Bears.
Mitchell, a one-time prep star from Arkansas City, who won All-American recognition as Oklahoma University quarterback in the late 1940s, said that a person with a strong athletic background should be selected.
