12 Monday, August 23.1993 SPORTS UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Mason pleased with two-a-day practices Injuries in practice hurt 'Hawks and Seminoles By Matt Doyle Before taking some bites of watermelon during the team's annual watermelon feast, Kansas coach Glen Mason said he was pleased about how the two weeks of two-a-day football practices had gone. "I feel pretty good about where we are," Mason said Saturday after an intrasquid scrimage at Memorial Stadium. "We talked about whether we worked them too hard or not hard enough. You don't want to wear them out, and you don't want to bang them up. Yeah, I'm pretty well pleased." Kansas starts its season Saturday against Florida State, currently ranked the No. 1 team in the nation, in the 11th annual Kickoff Classic at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Both the Jayhawks and Seminoles have had injuries during practices leading up to the game that will keep players from each team out of the game. Kansas junior linebacker Don Davis will miss the game with a sprained right knee suffered two weeks ago. Originally, it was thought that Davis would miss about six weeks, but Mason said Davis could be back in time for the home opener on Sept. 4 against Western Carolina. Junior linebacker/fullback Chris Powell is out with a broken foot, and senior defensive end Ty Moeder will miss the entire season with a shoulder injury. Senior center Dan Schmidt missed all practices last week with a sprained ankle but was expected to return to practice today. Florida State lost three potential starting players for the season to knee injuries during its first week of noncontact drills. Seminole senior cornerback Fuller suffered ligament damage in his right knee. Junior tailback Tiger McMillon ruptured a tendon below the right knee. Junior free safety Steve Gilmer reinjured ligaments in his left knee, an injury he originally suffered in the Seminoles spring game. Gilmer's injury will require major reconstructive surgery. Sophomore wide receiver Tamarick Vanover entered fall practice at 222 pounds, 21 pounds above his playing weight from a year ago. Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said he wants Vanver's weight down to 210 pounds for the opener against Kansas, and that Vanover is slowly losing that excess weight The Jayhawk players elected team captains last week. Two offensive linemen and two defensive linemen were selected for the honor. Schmidt and junior guard John Jones were voted offensive captains while senior tackle Chris Maumalanga and senior end Guy Howard were voted defensive captains.

Kansas City put brakes on New York with shutout PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL NEW YORK — Chris Haney wanted to prove to himself, his manager and opposing hitters that he was more than a pitcher who needed help. Hanley did it, at least for a day. Sunday, by pitching his first shutout of the season, leading the Kansas City Royals past the New York Yankees 7-0. Mike Macfarlane's 18th home run, a career high total, in the second inning gave Haney all the support he needed. The Royals scored three times in the fifth, highlighted by Brian McRae's mad dash home, and added three more in the sixth, two on Greg Gagne's triple. The Royals stayed four games behind first-place Chicago in the AL West. Haney. 9-5, allowed only four hits, worked around a season-high five walks and struck out five batters. Discount travel available for Kickoff Classic Airline, ticket office offering reduced rates to New Jersey By Anne Felstet Kansan sportswriter The Kansas football team will clash with the Florida State Seminoles in the Kickoff Classic on Saturday. And thanks to the ticket office, fans can see the game in person. An employee of Continental said the flight must include a Saturday night stay for the reduced rates to apply. She also said that the flight could not be guaranteed. Tickets for the game in East Rutherford, N.J., sell for $28 per seat. Through a special promotion with the ticket office and Continental Airlines, Jayhawk fans can fly from anywhere in the United States to Newark, N.J., for a reduced fare that ranges from about $170 to $480 plus a 10-percent discount. The flight from Kansas City, Mo., will cost about $170. The Alumni Association is encouraging fans to wear red and blue. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be sold, but the party itself will be free. John Summers, 1966 KU graduate from New Hope, Pa. bought 10 tickets for the game. He said that he wanted to see the team play and that he tried to see Kansas play as often as he could. He said he used to help out with recruiting. Bernie Kish, tickets operations and sales director, said the office had sold about 2,000 tickets as of Friday. That is approximately twice as many tickets as it sold for the Aloha Bowl last year, Kish said. He said the price, location and time of year in which the game was played had a lot to do with how many tickets were sold. Kansas football is also on the rise overall, which helps ticket sales. Kish said. Friends and families of players and coaches are heading to New Jersey in full force. Dave Warner, Kansas quarterback coach who is originally from the Philadelphia area, has a contingent of 90 people traveling two buses down to watch him coach. Two hundred people who went to high school in New Jersey with head coach Glen Mason have purchased tickets. And running back L.T. Lavine's mother purchased 70 tickets for friends and family. Tickets are available at the ticket office in Allen Field House. The Alumni Association is organizing a group to go to the game.
