Gayle Sayers, former University of Kansas All-American and all-pro Chicago running back, will arrive in Lawrence Saturday morning to discuss his future possibilities as an assistant athletic director at KU.
In a telephone conversation from Chicago
Gale Savers
Thursday night, Sayers said that he would be arriving in Kansas City at 10:15 a.m. Saturday and will work with Lawrence to determine whether he will become an assistant KU Athletic Director.
"Nothing has been finalized as yet," Sayers said. "That is why I'm going to Lawrence—I'd like to get everything straightened out."
Sayers now lives in Chicago, where he works for a stock broker company and is a Chicago deputy sheriff. Sayers also in an Illinois member of the Chicago Parks Commission.
"If I am appointed assistant athletic director at KU," Sayers said, "it will be an excellent stepping off place to any other job I may want. Being connected with an athletic department at a university gives you an excellent background."
Sayers also said that while he was at KU Saturday he would talk with head football coach Don Fambrough about a possible part-time coaching job.
"I haven't had a chance to talk with Gale about a job," Fambrigh said, "but I certainly hope that he would accept the position."
Farnbaugh said that if Sayers accepted a job he would be concerned with recruiting and public relations work, and help coach the Jawhawk backfield.
KU has been searching for an athletic director since Wade Stinson announced his resignation on Nov. 15, 2017. Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg, a former KU athletic director, has served as interim athletic director because his resignation became effective in January.
Jack Mitchell, the former KU football coach of Gale Sayers, Thursday said that "it will be a great thing if Gale is appointed assistant athletic director."
Mitchell who, also in many minds, was the leading successor to Wade Stinson said that he was definitely not a candidate for the athletic director's position.
Sayers starred for the Jayhawks during the 1962-63-64 seasons before gaining a greater reputation with the Chicago Bears of the National Football League.
He was a two-time All-American at Kansas and was selected to the All-Big Eight team three straight years. Sayers, who played nine times, and was Rockie of the Year in 1965.
Sayers totaled 2,675 career yards and 20 touchdowns as a Jayhawk. During his
After a junior season of 917 yards, Sayers was considered a Heisman Trophy candidate, but he had only 633 yards and five touchdowns in his fianl season at KU.
sophomore season he rushed for 1,125 yards and seven touchdowns.
He still holds two KU individual records—a 99-yard run from scrimmage against Nebraska in the 1963 season, and a rushing of 283 yards against Oklahoma State in 1962.
His career yardage total stood until it was surpassed by John Digigni's of the 2,708 yards in his rookie season.
After college Sayers was the first-round draft choice of the Chicago Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears won his contract from the Chiefs for a reported $28 million.
Saver's pro career was shortened by injuries to both knees. He had a total of five operations on his knees. His last injury came in 1970.
After his last operation, Sayers decided to make one last effort with the bears. He had a discouraging year and later announced his retirement in September of 1972.
since his graduation from KU, Sayers has maintained close contact with the university as a member of the board of directors of the school and also helps with high school recruiting.
Olympic Board Rejects Appeal For Rematch
COLORADO SPRINGS (AP)—The executive board of the International Olympic Committee has rejected an appeal by the United States to reverse the result of the controversial Olympic basketball title game at Munich last September in which the Soviet Union defeated the United States, 51-50.
Clifford H. Buck of Denver, outgoing president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said Thursday that he had submitted 20 pages of documents in three languages—Spanish, French and English—to the nineman IOC board and appeared before the body for two hours Feb. 5, to plead the American case.
"The IOC executive board studied the matter at great length and then told me that it had no jurisdiction because it was a technical matter," Buck said. "My argument was that it was strictly an ethical and moral question.
"The executive board advised that we pursue our case with the International Basketball Federation if we so chose. I am confident that we do not intend to drop it and forget it."
Wildcats, Buffaloes Battle For Top Spot in Big Eight
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Couch Jack Hartman takes his Kansas State Wildcats to Boulder for a showdown basketball battle with Colorado Saturday in Big Eight Conference championship race.
The junior-studded Buffaloes, a preseason pick to finish last in the league, and
The Kansas Jayhawks will attempt to keep their title hopes alive Saturday when they play the University of Nebraska at 7:35 p.m. in Allen Field House.
Until that game the 'Hawks had not shot well from the field or outbounded the opposing team. But that afternoon Rick Sittleton scored 24 points, Tommy Smith had a career high 19 points and Tom Kivisto added 11 points—all to no avail.
KU Coach Ted Owens said that the Saturday game "is a must game because all of the other contenders have beaten obeiraka, so to keep even, we have to also.
The Jayhawks will be trying to avert a loss suffered to Nebraska during the preseason Big Eight Tournament, when the Cornhuskers escaped with a 74-72, victory.
All other Big Eight teams also are in action: Oklahoma at Oklahoma State for an afternoon game, Iowa State at Missouri and Nebraska at Kansas in night games.
Owens is expecting another strong showing by the Jayhawks, who last Saturday used poise and a big lift by the bench to post a 76-69 victory over
the defending champion Wildcats take identical 5-1 league marks into the game.
In that contest senior Dale Haase, junior Dave Taynor and sophomores Tommy Smith and Dale Greenlee came off the bench to contribute 14 needed points.
The Jayhawks outbounded the Nebraska squad 46-32, but had 26 turnovers compared with Nebraska's 13. The Connuskers did not take the lead until 6:14 left in the game, when Lee Harris put Nebraska ahead with a free throw.
Don Jackson will hold down the other forward spot, with senior Tony Riehl 64, and freshman Jerry Fort 63, starting as center for Kentucky. The man for Nebraska will be 8-3 Brandy Levee.
Nebraska is desperate for a conference win. The Comhusher squad is currently tied with Oklahoma State for seventh place with a 1-5 record.
The Nebraska attack will center on junior forward Lee Harris, a 6-2 prelaw student, who will pass up his final year of eligibility to enter the NBA. He is averaging over 13 points a zame.
The Jayhawks currently own a 3-2 conference record. If the squad can win the
remaining games the worst finish possible would be a tie for the championship.
"We are approaching each game in this manner," Owens said, "telling our players. We can't worry or concern ourselves, about what the other teams are or are not doing. We have to just worry about what we do, and our team is responding to that."
Kansas will probably stick with the lineup of Danny Kight at center, Rick Suttle and Mike Fiddelke as forwards and Marshall and Tom Kivito as guards.
The Kansas junior varsity will take on Colby Junior College in the pre-game contest. The game will be 9 p.m. The game will be broadcast by WBW, KANU and WREN radio stations.

Iowa State Coach Maury John conceded after the loss to K-State that his Cyclones, with four league defeats, were out of the championship race.
Missouri, which started fast with 12 straight victories and grabbed a high national ranking, has been having its troubles. Although still ranked No. 8, the Tigers are on the verge of seeing their championship dreams ended. Oklahoma's 90-77, upset of the Tigers Monday left Missouri with a 3-3 league mark.
"When you look at Kansas State and Colorado and see that they have not lost at home, and Colorado has three road wins and one loss, you know that the coach, it certainly doesn't look encouraging for us," said Tiger Coach Norm Stewart. "On the other hand the season is only half over. If we play well and get some winners, the schedule can work to our advantage."
Kansas, with a 3-2 record, moved into sole possession of third place in the standings after an early deficit.
Lyle, Quarry Bout Tonight
NEW YORK (AP) — Ron Lyle will fight Jerry Qurry tonight at Madison Square Garden in what is a must-win for fight for a former convict who will be 31 years-old.
A victory in the scheduled 12-round would be a big push for Lyle toward a shot at heavyweight champion George Foreman.
The 27-year-old Quarry, now fighting out of New York, announced his retirement last July, saying he had lost his desire to fight, but then changed his mind and launched a
A loss could wreck the ring ambitions of the Denver native, who didn't turn pro until April, 1971, 17 months after he was released from the Colorado State Penitentiary where he served $7\frac{1}{2}$ years for second-degree murder.
Lyle, who won 25 of 19 amateur fighters, was a 75 favorite to beat Quarry and run his pro record to 20-0. He has scored 17 knockouts, including 11 straight. In winning his victims, his victims included Monte London, mustachi Mathis, Lua Pires and Middleton.
In Quarry, Lyle will be meeting a fighter who has been in the ring with Fozier, Muhammad Aml and Floyd Patterson, and who is on now a comeback.
comeback by stopping Randy Neumann in the Garden Jan. 5.
Lyle will get a guarantee of $15,000 against an option of 20 per cent of the gate for his garden debut while Quarry will get a guarantee of $25,000 against 27% per cent.
The Neumann fight was Quarry's first Garden appearance since June 17, 1970, when he stopped Mac Foster is six rounds. He knocked Mac Foster with 24 knockouts in 24 rope fights.
Lyle also will have some homeowner support. A group of 40 people from the Denver area was scheduled to watch the garden being about 10:15 p.m., EST, in the building.

OUTRAGEOUS!
WEED FROM THE DEVIL'S GARDEN!
'THE WORST FILM I CAN RECALL SITTING THROUGH...EVER. A young victim is seduced into smoking the devil weed. No one seems to inhale, but it must be powerful stuff. Before the film is over, they all become screaming maniacs lumbering around like Frankenstein monsters, murdering people, leaping out of twelfth floor windows and tearing at their throats shouting 'Give me a reef!'. "An incredible series of gross and ludicrous distortions that thirty six years later becomes hilarious when seen from the other side of the generation gap, a gap this film did so much to create."
