Jaynes Signs Contract with Chiefs
KANASAS CITY, (AP)-David Jaynes, the class All-America quarterback from the University of Kansas, signed a multi-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs
Jaynes said at a news conference at the Chiefs' office yesterday that he had always wanted to play in Kansas City. The Chiefs drafted him in the third round of the NFL draft. He was the first player chosen in the draft of the new World Football League (WFL).
Jaynes said he chose the NFL because it was more established, while some WL teams were still not ready.
"It was just a matter of what was best for me," Jaynes told newsmen.
The terms of his contract with the Chiefs weren't announced.
Jaynes was signed by Coach Hank Stram, and he wore the jacket and paid the same $20 on his jersey for the game.
"Jaynes has earned the right to be regarded as one of the best football players
in the nation last year," said Stram, who called his new player "a most impressive young man because of his over-all attitude and commitment to excellence.
"He has spark and determination."
Jaynes is n-6, 310-pound native of Bakersfield.
The addition of Jaynes leaves the Chiefs with five quarterbacks—veteran starter Len Dawson and three backups, Mike Livingstone, Peter Bethan and Joe McAfee, all plus serious conference that he was trying to make a deal to cut down the number of quarterbacks.
As a three-year star at KU, Jaynes established six big Eight Conference passing records. He owns almost every KU passing record.
He closed his college career as the No. 2 all-time conference career passer behind Lym Dickey, former Kansas State All-American, with 5,132 yards. He passed for more than 2,000 yards in his junior and senior year.
Jaynes led the Jayhaws to the Liberty Bowl last year and played in three post-season all-star games: the East-West, Hula Bowl and Senior Bowl.
He passed for 35 career touchdowns at KU.
Although there was little disagreement that Jaynes was the best college passer in the land last season, the assessments of his professional potential have varied greatly. Some NFL talent scouts have placed the "can't miss" tag on them. Others have been

The University of Kansas swim team has won the Big Eight title the last seven years, but the 'Bawks haven't been dominant in the NCAA championships.
Although KU has qualified nine swimmers for the NCAA swimming championships, the most ever for KU, coach Dick Reasonan he expects the meet to be just as tough, if not tougher, than in the past. The championships start today at Long Beach State.
"It will be between Indiana and USC for one and two," he said. "The times I've seen have been fantastic. We're going to have to scratch and claw for whatever we get."
KU recently won the Big Eight meet at Colorado by outscoring the second place finisher, Oklahoma, 442 to 314. After the first day of competition the Jawahars had a narrow lead, but on the second day they scored 106 points to easily win the meet.
In the Big Eight meet Gary Kempf and Alan McDonald broke meet records. Kempf won the 200-yard backstroke in a time of 1:59.02 to break his own record of 1:59.16, which he set last year. McDonald was the first American to win with a time of 46.87, breaking the old record of 47.02.
Pat DIBiage and Keth Riche set KU varsity records at the Big Eight meet, but each finished only second in their events. DiBise swam the 220-yard breaststroke in a time of 2:13.74. The old record was 2:14. Riche swan the 200-yard butterfly in a time of 1:57.17, breaking his old time of 1:57.87 last year.

Throughout his high school career, Jaynes made no secret of his admiration for Namath and said he often dreamed of playing for Alabama, where Namath performed before moving to the New York Jets.
Jaynes said he wrote Alabama about the possibility of playing college ball there. To his surprise, the letter was answered and Alabama asked for game films.
When recruiting pressure intensified at the end of his senior year, Alabama was one of the front runners until Jaynes finally decided to stick close to school and attend

After Jaynes was drafted by the Chiefs, her mother said she was "totally dumbfounded."
"I was very happy the Chiefs got him," she said. "I guess I'd say 'd'm you should be'd play for Karsan City than in down town." David would really like to play here, too.
"I thought the Chiefs might have traded for him if he went somewhere else, but somehow you just get the feeling some things were meant to be."
