Anschutz to become more accessible soon
By CECILIA MILLS Sports Writer
Anschutz Sports Pavilion may soon be accessible to at least three more sports if some improvements can be completed this month.
Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director, said Tuesday that four batting cages and two heavy-duty protective nets would allow baseball, softball and golf teams to practice in the pavilion.
The batting cages would be suspended from the ceiling on the west side of the pavilion. At the south end, golfers and softball, football players would be tackled or kick into the nets. Temple said.
The nets were ordered from Atheco of Lenape on Nov. 8 and are being custom built for Anschutz. The nets will cost about $13,000, which will be paid once the nets are installed, Susan Wachter, Athletic Department business manager, said.
SOME ATLEETES ARE DISAPPOINTED that the nets have not arrived sooner. The baseball and softball teams have been forced to train this spring in Allen Field House as they have in the past.
Temple said the field house looked like the Kansas City Zoo when both track teams and the football teams had practice in Allen.
"Even when the nets are there."
Temple said, "people might be disgruntled about practice hours."
Baseball centerfieldier, Hugh Stanfield, said that he had hoped to practice in the pavilion by this time and that practicing in the field house had put the team at a disadvantage.
Baseball Coach Marty Pattin said he knew it took time to get the nets
STANFIELD SAID BAD weather meant the team had to practice in the field house. Softball, baseball and men's and women's basketball teams now play in the field house during bad weather.
"As a coach I've tried to explain to my players that they have to be patient." Pattin said.
Athletic Director Monte Johnson said Temple was in charge of all buildings.
"I TOLD FLOYD we couldn't conduct a practice where we couldn't be sure that windows and walls were protected." Johnson said. "That was something we worked out jointly.
"I never promised any athletes when they would be in there. We opened the building as early as we could for the sports that could use it."
"Obviously they can't hit in there until the nets are in place. Football can't kick in there. Track probably has the least conflict."

KU was defeated by Nebraska in the women's championship last weekend in Lincoln. The loss was Kempf's first in the conference meet since he took over the KU women's team in 1976.
"It itil hurts," Kempt said of the second-place finish. "But this is a whole new meet and a whole new team. By the time the meet starts Thursday I won't be thinking about last week."
The Jayhawks have been picked to finished fourth by the conference conference.
"BUT IF THEY keep swimming as well as they have, they do better than that." Kempf said. "They're swimming better than they have all year."

The Nebraska men are heavily favored to defend successfully their conference title.
"They're the class of the crop," Kemp said, "and they've won it five years in a row."
Nebraska won easily last year in the Big Eight meet in Lawrence. Iowa State was second, followed by Missouri, KU and Oklahoma. The coaches have predicted the same order of finish this year.
The Jayhawks are led by senior co-captains Brad Coen and Ken Grey, phomoresh Chris McCool and Tumpf, and humphrew Chuck Jones.
“Coens and Grey have had a great season,” Kempf said. “It’s their last Big Eight meet and they’re going to do a great job.
"We've got ten to 12 guys who can make an impact high in the conference meet."
