Decision Not Hard, Jaynes Says
By KEN STEPHENS
Kaman Sports Writer
The Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League signed David Jaynes to a multi-year professional football contract and was named second major recruiting war for Jaynes.
At a high school senior Jaynes, the University of Kansas All-America quarterback, had been one of the most highly sought prep stars in the nation. By signing Jaynes, the Chiefs won a battle with the new World Football League's Houston franchise
jaynes said Saturday that the decision to sign with the Chiefs had not been a hard one.
"We wanted to wait and make sure we got the best deal possible," Jaynes said. "They're (the Chiefs) very secure and know exactly what they are doing. The WFL thing is just too much up in the air right now. It wasn't that difficult a decision."
"The Chiefs made a really good offer and we thought it would be best to take it now."
If he bad taken the WLF offer, Jaynes
he wouldn't have been in any trouble
finished.
"But that wasn't the prime consideration," he said. "It was important, but there were other things."
3 Dolphins Sign with WFL Will Join Toronto in 1975
TORONTO (AP)—Larry Cenkia, Kicki King and Paul Warfield of the Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins grabbed at the chance for financial security yesterday by jumping from the National Football League to the World Football League's Toronto
The move is effective at the start of the 1975 season—after the three play out the 1974 option on their NFL contracts—a for $3 million-plus, three-year package.
"I think the general consensus of opinion in the American public was that the World Football League wasn't a serious contender. We, however, felt differently and, after coming up with heededed evidence that the financial benefits are considerable," Csonka said.
Adn he pointed out that, even if the WFL,
he said, "the ground, they're
garanteed a betrayal."
The signing of Csonka, Kickl and Warfield gives the neocyte WBIL instant respect to Csonka.
"Certainly, the financial security is very important to me and to my family," said Warfield the Dolphins' star wide receiver. "It's almost like saying we're stealing a phrase from a movie of a couple of years and made us an offer we couldn't refuse."
Kick acknowledged that he jumped, in part, because of his dissatisfaction of recent years, when mercury Morris pushed him out of a starting running back position.
"I have a lot of pride and I want to play a lot of football." he said.
Conkia, saying he was speaking for Warfield and Klick as well, said he was "looking forward to this upcoming season with as much anticipation as any of the players" and that "Nothing would be a greater tribute to the fact that we are leaving than the idea of
leaving on a winning note . . . "
Csonka also pointed out that, in the 2½ months since Super Bowl VIII, there were no contract negotiations between the players and the Dolphins but that they had been in constant contact with Miami last weekend.
"We have a mutual representative in Ed Keating." Csanka said, "and he was on the phone two or three or four times with Joe Robbie (managing general partner of the Dolphins) throughout the morning. As I understand it, there was a negative factor inasmuch as Mr. Robbie did not want to negotiate on the phone.
"So we had to consider the offer we had at hand and the idea that possibly it might not be the same if we stalled off . . . We had to more or less make our minds up on the spur of the moment."
Csonka, a 6-foot, 240-pound bullzoon and a six-year NFL veteran, rushed for more than 1,000 yards for the third straight season in 1973, then stamped Minnesota into submission in Super Bowl VIII, pounding out a record 145 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 24-7 romp over the Vikings.
Warfield, a veteran of 10 NFL seasons, four of them with Miami, led the American Conference with 11 touchdown receptions in 1973. The 6-foot, 190-pound, a speedy, surreased receiver, made 28 regular-season catches for 54 yards, an 17.7% average.
nuck, also a six-year veteran, teamed with Sconka to form the Duluth's "Bitch Cassidy and the No. 2 running, back until Murry Mercur burst on the scene in 1972.
Kiick's primary attribute is his versatility as a receiver and blocker as well as a runner. In 1973 he rushed 76 times for 257 yards and had 27ceptions for 208 yards.
Lee Trevino Takes Title In New Orleans Tourney
now has five quarterbacks on their roster.
In addition to veteran Len Dawson, the Chiefs have Mike Livingston, Pete Bethard and Dan Carlson.
The other factors influencing Jaynes' decision focused on the new league's lack of organization and his familiarity with the Chiefs' organization.
Trevino, who started in a tie for the top Trevino, with youthful South African Bobby Cole, bolted into the lead with birds on his shoulders. He played and wasn't really trouble again.
He collected $30,000 from the total pute of $150,000. The victory was Trevino's first victory since the Doral Eastern Open in February 1973. It represented the end of one
"Number one, the coaches. Houston doesn't even have a coach named yet," he said. "Number two, I like to get to know the people in the organization before I do anything. I've known the Chiefs for a long time and I didn't know anything about the WFL."
He changed his mind, however—he's skipping the Masters instead—and won by a whopping eight strokes, the biggest victory margin of the season.
NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Lee Trevino, poker-faced and brooding in concentration, broke a 13-month drought, winning the title in the Greater New Orleans Open Golf Tournament yesterday. Trevino shot a seven-under-ear 65.
Of the competition he will have to face on the Chiefs, Jaynes said, "They don't have any sluches in there and I know that. I'm going to go there and really have to compete, but I've got confidence in my ability that I can do the job."
Travinio's score was, by four strokes, the lowest 72-hole score on the pro golf tour this year. Ironically, it came on a course that always had been one of the most difficult for him, because he took the course in the middle of a round three years ago and vowed he'd never return.
Almost incredibly, Trevino didn't make a bogey in four days of competition that produced a 287 total, a distant 21 under par (49), a 7,300-foot Lakewood Country Club course.
Tennis coach, Mike Howard, said he was pleased with the team's performance. They defeated Tulsa, 5-1, and Minnesota, 7-0, and in a thrilling final match, lost to Arkansas.
The University of Kansas tennis team entered the 16-tem队 Oral Roberts University Tournament seeded third and came out that wav: third.
Howard said he was pleased with the team as a whole and was especially pleased with Carlos Goff, Bill Clarke, Steve Vann and Jonas Wetterberg. The team took first place at the meet in doubles.
Howard is also looking ahead to a match against Arkansas Friday. He said the match would feature some of the best tennis placed at KU in recent years.
Shortly after the NFL player draft in which Jaynes was the Chief's third round choice, he remarked that he would rattle up a few years later. He was happy that he signed with Kansas City.
The match will begin at 1:30 p.m. behind Allen Field House.
Howard was hopeful about the remaining season.
"Our first Big Eight match will be here Wednesday against Nebraska and I'm expecting a good finish against them," he said.
"This last match against Arkansas was really something," Howard said. "It went all the way to the last tie-breaker point and it was one point we decisive in the match."
"I really like Kansas City," he said. "It was just a matter of after having lived around here all my life. I was kind of excited about maybe moving to another city and getting to know another city and meet other people.
of the longest victory famines in the rags to riches that began with his triumph in 376 AD.
'Hawk Netmen Third at ORU
Jaynes was also concerned that the Houston franchise had not yet signed a deal.
"When I go someplace I want to play. I don't want to sit out because the league isn't as good."
Jaynes and that the fact that the NFA is a more prestigious league did not enter into play.
"I think that whether I went to the WFL or the NFL, there was going to be competition and this would go on. I am going to work hard and be able to play within two or three years anyway."
After previous rounds of 67, 68, 67,
Trevino abandoned his role of clown and
turned grim-faced and serious in his last 18
holes of play.
"I knew it would have been a good opportunity if I had to stay in Kansas City. I still think that right now, I think it will be a better option not only in football but in other things too."

Jayhawk Baseball Team Drops Three to Oklahoma
The University of Oklahoma dominates the past football season in the Big Eight and the Sooner baseball team in the West, but of this was last weekend's series between the Sooners and the University of Kansas in which the Jayhawks lost their game against the Oklahoma by 6-3.
According to KU coach Floyd Temple, the Sooners "are out of our league entirely. If anybody beats them they'll have to have a back of a ball club. That club is the best all-round team I have ever seen in the Big Ten with great speed, pitching, hitting and defense."
The Hawks were competitive in only one
of the games the second half of Saturday's double header. In it, pitcher Rogier Slager held the powerful Sooners in check through all of the game, but finally suffered a 3-14 loss.
Temple said the main problems were the Jawhawk's lack of biting and poor defense.
"There's lack of hitting and poor defense. "We're going to have to get someone who will make contact with the ball. That's our major problem right now," Temple said, going to make some changes for Tuesday's games. We have to find some hitters."
The Jayhawks will host Friends University for two games starting at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
