Eichloff corrects problems

Kicker focuses on the snap, not the records

Kansas senior kicker Dan Eichloh thinks he has corrected the problems in his kicking that plagued him during the first two games this season.
The preseason All-America selection, according to the NCAA football preview, and three-time All-Big Eight selection struggled in the season opener against No. 1 Florida State. Elchof missed a 23-yard field goal wide left in the first quarter against the Seminoles and had a 27-yard attempt hit off the right upright in the fourth quarter of the 42-0 loss.
Eichloh has rebounded from his performance against Florida State, made his last six field goals attempts and set a school record for the Jayhawks. His 52-yard field goal in the third quarter against Michigan State on Saturday broke Bruce Kalmeyer's school record for most field goals in a career at 54. Eichloh added another field goal later in the contest.
The problems Eichloch experienced against Florida State were a couple of poor snaps and poor concentration on his part, he said.
In the home opener against Western Carolina, he missed an extra point attempt, breaking a streak of 60 consecutive made extra points.
"I don't see it much as a record 'cause I just think I got more opportunities to kick than he did." Eichloh said. "I'm more concerned with making my field goals than breaking records just because of the FSU game and the whole outcome of the kicking game during that day."
Senior center Dan Schmidt, who performed the snapping duties against Florida State, gave a high snap on the 23-year attempt. Eichloff said this threw off his timing and, ultimately, resulted in the miss.
Eichloff said he was concerned entering the season about working with a new snapper and holder, and that concern carried over into the Kickoff Classic. His previous three seasons he worked with the same snapper, Dave Marcum, and the same holder, Chip Hillary.
"I was focusing too much on the snap and hold, but now I'm just concerned with kicking," he said. "Van Davis did an excellent job of getting the ball down, and I just missed those
field goals. Originally, I came off the field thinking it was his fault when it wasn't at all."
Davis, junior quarterback, said the main adjustment he had to make was for Eichloff to feel comfortable with him holding the ball.
"That's a big adjustment for a kicker who's had the same snapper and holder for the last three years, and when you throw a couple of new guys in there, it'a a big change for him," Davis said. "My job is to catch the ball and
put it down. If I do that, then Dan's going to make the kick."
Junior middle linebacker Tyler Quast has done the snapping duties the last two games, and Eichloff has made all six field goal attempts. Davis said that was probably because a chemistry had been established among all three players.
people don't look at that being a tough adjustment, but it really is," Davis said. "We just needed to play together."

Club sports depend on University funds
By Anne Felstet

Without funding from student fees, the Kansas water-ski club could be riding the waves barefoot.
RICK Rosenengle, the assistman director for recreation services who is in charge of club sports, said he looked over the budgets to refine them before the budget hearings in March.
This year, Recreation Services, the administrative body of the sport club program, received $69,050 to help defray the clubs' costs of equipment, entry fees, contractual fees and payment for the assistance of referees and guest lecturers. The water-ski club received $3,920.
Before a team can receive money from this restricted fee, a budget detailing the team's expenses must be submitted to the sport club director every February.
At the hearings, a representative from each club team votes to either ratify or change the proposed budgets. The final draft, ratified by the sport club council, then must be approved by the Student Recreation Advisory Board. The budget ends its approval process after the Student Senate reviews the finalized form at its last business meeting of the spring semester.
women's rugby player Jackie Vogel said the council looked carefully at the expenses of each club and revised them so that the money would be well spent.
Senior soccer club member Brian Robey said he thought the allocation process was fair because the entire council, with representatives from each club, voted on all the budgets.
"Students are involved in every facet of the process," Rosenstengle said. "And they get leadership from the faculty/staff on the advisory board and the professional staff in the Recreation Services office."
If a club missed the budget hearings in March, it could submit a proposal at the supplemental budget hearings held at any council meeting in the fall.
Because a team's budget changes yearly, it reflects the need of purchasing reusable equipment such as boats for crew or goal-pod pads for rugby.
This fall, the supplemental fund, which is surplus club sport money, has $7,715. Linda Mullens, assistant vice chancellor of student affairs, said that $61,335 went to 21 clubs who attended the budget hearings in March.
"The money alleviates our costs," Robey said of the restricted fee's importance. "Without the funding, we would be wearing T-shirts and scrapy shorts."
Runner's choice to drop soccer led her to Kansas
Kloster, the oldest of five children, said that her entire family was involved in sports.
By Kent Hohlfeld
Kansas junior runner Kristi Kloster made an important decision her freshman year of high school. She had to choose between playing soccer or running track and field for her Lenexa high school.
Kansan sportswriter
"I took both my soccer shoes and my track shoes to the first day my freshman year." sad Kloster, who has been Kansas' top cross-country runner in the first two meets of the season.
"They didn't pressure us," Kloster said of her parents. "They usually had to stop me from trying to do too many sports."
"I felt very comfortable with the coaches."
"I just loved all sports," Kloster said.
She said she looked at a variety of schools including Texas, Drake and Stanford but said she felt most comfortable at Kansas.
Kloster said the fact that the soccer and track teams practiced at the same time forced her to decide between the two. Her decision to run track led her to Kansas four years later.
Kloster said that she started running track when she was in fifth grade and had always been involved in a variety of sports.
Kloster said. "I also wanted to stay a little closer to home."
Kloster's first two years at Kansas had been hampered by a series of injuries.
"My freshman year I had a tibia stress fracture right before the Big Eight cross-country championships," Kloster said.
She also missed the indoor and outdoor track season that year with a fractured femur and was redshirted for the season. Her sophomore year ended with surgery to alleviate restricted blood flow in her calves.
Kristi Kloster
Assistant coach Steve Guymon said that Kloster was an intense competitor and that she had tried to run through many of her injuries. He said that intensity had helped during her recovery.
Kloster said that the layoff in competition during her recovery had been difficult, but it taught her to take better care of herself to prevent future injuries.
Kloster competed last weekend and prevented an Arkansas sweep of the top five spots in the Jayhawk Invitational by placing fifth.
by her strong start, it has not surprised her coaches or senior teammate Abley Achce.
"We're on a higher level than in previous years," Ace said. "Our times are closer this year because we're a stronger team."
Although Kloster said that she was surprised
Ace said that the strength of the team would probably preclude any one team member from dominating every race as had happened in the past.
Roster said she felt this team had the talent to win the Big Eight and compete in nationalists. Guymon said that he expected Kloster to be an important part of reaching those goals.

Injury frustrates Kansas volleyball player
Kansan staff report
Frustration describes Kansas volleyball player Janet Uher's feelings of being on the bench. Uher has been fighting shoulder problems this season.
"I don't mind if I'm sitting on the bench because I'm not playing well. Uter, junior outside hitter, said. "But knowing that part of the reason I'm on the bench is because of my shoulder is frustrating."
Although Uher has been hampered by an inflamed right shoulder, she did get some playing time in the Kansas Invitational during weekend.
Uher said that with the sore shoulder, she was not as confident this year as last year.
"It feels so weak," Uher said. "I didn't know where the ball would go. I could not control it. I felt like I was starting over like a freshman out there. I don't mind playing in the back, but my good qualities are in the front line."
Uber's loss doesn't hurt the team too badly with freshman hitter Katie Wahle filling in, Albizt said.
Walsh started for the Jayhawks in their first match against Wichita State.
Quetz said that Uber had seen limited action so far but that she had played her position occasionally.
"If she wasn't able to play at least part of the time, it might hurt us more than it does." Albizt said.
Ironically, the injury occurred while Uher was trying to strengthen her shoulder.
"I have so much inflexibility in my shoulder," Uher said. "Last spring, we started working on the shoulder, and it got a lot stronger. It must have got overworked. The trainers said it will get hurt all year long. When I overuse it in hitting, it will get tight."
Albitz said that Uher might have started at the beginning of the year, but that now it would be competitive between her and Walsh.
"Katie is doing a really good job," she said. "But danet has great work ethics, and I think she'll come back strong."
