Gottfried hires two assistants to fill staff vacancies
By JEFF CRAVENS
Sports Editor
For the first time since head football coach Mike Gottfried has been at the University of Kansas, the Jayhawks won a playoff game in addition to the addition yesterday of two coaches.
Bob Velesente was hired to be the quarterback coach, and Bud Ratliff was hired as a recruiting coordinator. Mr. Ratliff has written affirmative action guidelines are met.
Velesenha has spent the past two seasons as a defensive backfield coach for the Baltimore Colts. He coached with Gottfried when both were assistants at Cincinnati in 1975-76.
"I had the opportunity to work with a very close friend and a coach I respect a lot." Velesente said after yesterday's
practice. "I also have a chance work with the offender after spending the last week."
THE COLTS have been involved in controversy lately over the move of the team from Baltimore to indianapolis. The Colts had nothing to do with his move to KU.
"The first couple of days I will assess the situation and evaluate the personnel," he said. "Naturally, I need to be brought up to date."
"I've gotten together with every coach so I can get an idea of how far along the offense is."
The Jayhawks are one week into spring practices, so Velesente said he was a little behind.

"ONCE YOU ARE a football coach,
problem adjusting from coaching defense to coaching offense.
you are always comfortable," he said.
"I was comfortable today, and I'll be comfortable tomorrow. When you are a defensive coach, naturally you have to know a lot about the offense.
know it is about.
"I think my defensive background will help tremendously. It will give the quarterbacks a better opportunity."
Velesenste steps into a competitive situation at quarterback back with sophomore Mike Orth and junior-college transfer Mike Norseth. Both are competing for the starting job vacated by Frank Seurer.
"tight now, they are getting about the same amount of time," Velesente said. "They are both good athletes and competitive kids."
One thing that isn't different for Velesite is the practice atmosphere between a professional team and the Jayhawks.
"WE PRACTICED in Baltimore like any college team," he said. "We had physical practices and a lot of enthusiasm so there isn't really that much difference."
"I remember Ms. as a tough, hard-nosed team," he said. "We got a quick touchdown and played pretty well. KU's defense was outstanding."
Before working for the Colts, Velesente worked for two seasons as the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State. He was a member of the staff when KU met the Bulldogs in the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1981.
Before the job at Mississippi State, Velesene had 15 years of collegiate experience. A graduate of Ithaca College in New York, he also played professional baseball for a time as a center fielder in the Chicago Cubs
organization before moving into coaching.
Rattiff will be in charge of recruiting. He has had previous coaching experience at Morehead State, Youngstown State and Heidelberg College.
JAYHAWK NOTES — Gottfried has been pleased with spring practice so far. He said yesterday that the spring scrimmage, originally scheduled for April 28, would probably be played April 30.
"We've had a very relaxed practice."
Gottfried said. "We are getting a lot accomplished even though we are still switching some people around."
A couple of the switches Gottfried has made is moving tight end Jeff Anderson to defensive line and cornerback Tony Berry to wide receiver.
Rovals down Yankees in opener, 4-2
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — They are the Kansas City Royals in name only.
Despite the absence of George Brett, Dennis Leonard and U.L. Washington because of injuries, Willie Wilson because of a drug-related suspension, and Amos Otis and Willie Alkenziel because of a shooting, Royals opened the 1984 season with a 4-2 victory yesterday over Ron Gudryn and the New York Yankees.
Bud Black, making his first opening-day start for the Royals, gave up two hits, struck out three and walked one in seven innings to tame the Yankees, who have not won on opening-day game since 1977.
SHORTSTOP Onion Conceonception, also making his first opening-day start, drilled Guidry's first pitch of the 1984 season over the left-field wall for his
first major-league homer. Steve Ballbon, playing for the first time against his ex-teammates, slapped an RBI single against Guildry for another
Right fielder Darryl Motley, also making his first opening-day start, belted Guidry's first pitch of the fourth inning to the left-field wall for a triple Don Slaugh, yet another first-time opening-day starter.
The final Kansas City run came from the only two familiar names in the lineup — Frank White and Hal McRae. White reached base on a three-base error by center fielder Moreno Omareno on a sacrifice飞 by McRae.
LEFT FIELDER Butch Davis, center fielder Pat Sheridan and third baseman Greg Pryor also were making plays on mayday, starts as members of the Royals.
"You had some guys out there who hadn't seen the Yankees, who weren't worried about the Yankee mystique and tradition," said Black of his young teammates. "A lot of these guys are coming off good years in the minors and are confident they can do the same things here. These guys are going to surprise a lot of people."
The Royals pounded Guidry for eight hits and all four runs, during five innings to give him yet another opening day filled with problems. The Yankee left-hander is now 0-2 with four no-decisions and a 4.32 earned run average in his six opening day assignments.
BLACK SET DOWN the first 12 batters he before Don Baylor led off the fifth with a looping single to center. Dave Winfield then followed with a towering home run to left — the third consecutive opening day he has hit a two-run homer.
Surprised Wilson to return May 15
By United Press International
Kuhn.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former American League batting champion Willie Wilson of the Kansas City Royals expected the worst from baseball arbitrator Richard Bloch, but instead got a pleasant surprise.
Bloch ruled that Wilson and former Kansas City teammate Jerry Martin, who is now with the New York Mets, should be reinstated as the manager of their original one-year drug-related suspensions assessed by Commissioner Bowie
Wilson, Martin and former teammates Willie Aikens and Vida Blue all served three months in federal prisons this winter after pleading guilty to drug charges. Kuhn slapped the players with additional one-year suspensions from baseball, subject for review and possible dissolution May 15.
NOW THERE is no question for Wilson and Martin. Aikens was not a party to the arbitrator's ruling nor was Los Angeles reliever Steve Howe, who also received a drug-related suspension from Kuhn. Blue is no longer in baseball.
"I'm happy I guess," Wilson said. "It's better than not knowing. I was looking at the worst — a year — and anything less would be a surprise. May 15 is nice — nicer than the other May 15. There will be no speculation now.
Wilson was released from prison in early March after serving time for a guilty plea to the charge of attempting to possess cocaine and reported directly to spring training with the Royals. He was allowed to work out with the team but was barred from participating in any spring training games.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — New York left fielder Lou Pinella attempts to snare a long drive from Kansas City's Darryl Motley in the fourth inning. Motley's hit was good for a triple, and the Royals went on to defeat the Yankees, 4-2, in the season opener for both teams.
KU women finish last in golf meet
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer
The Kansas women's golf team, which has been plagued by lack of practice time because of wet weather and injuries, opened its season with a last place finish at the tournament on Tuesday and Monday at Norman, Okla.
"We haven't spent a whole lot of time on the course." KU assistant coach Kent Weisler said. "We've mainly just been hitting balls inside, which was why we struggled with our skills. I don't have any. We keep making the same mistakes over and over again."
Oklahoma State won the 54-hole
tournament with a score of 927,
followed by Lamar, 962; Texas
Tech, 990; North Texas State, 992;
Nebraska, 1,012; Oklahoma, 1,022;
and KU, 1,060.
Weiser said that most of the teams had played already except for Nebraska and Iowa State.
THREE SOPHOMORES led the way for KU. Lee An Loefelhoehl had the team's top score with a 255, off rounds of 83, 82 and 90. Maurie Kelly had rounds of 87, 90 and 87 for a score of 264. Brenda Sanders shot rounds of 87, 89 and 91 for a score of 264. Marlie Scheid, a freshman, finished with a score of 274 off rounds of 92, 91 and 91.
Sanders and Scheid have had their practice time limited by tendinitis
Junior Lasa Black rounded out the Jayhawk quintet, but had to withdraw because of an injury. The top pitcher was also counted were counted for the team score.
THE NEXT ACTION for the women's team will be April 15-16 at the Lady Shocker Classic in Wichita.
The next event scheduled for the men's team is the Orange Lake Invitational April 15-17 in Orlando. Fla. The men's team was originally scheduled to compete during that year's NCAA Tournament University Invitational in Norman.
KU head coach Ross Randall said the Jayhawks had originally been on the alternate list for the Orange Lake tournament, but had officially been invited a short time ago, and would go to that tournament instead of the one in Norman.
Randall said the Jayhawks should see some excellent competition at the tournament, including several strong Atlantic Coast Conference teams.
