Money from USC, TCU cuts shortfall
By MATT DeGALAN Staff Reporter
The KU athletic department has received an extra $83,000 in football road guarantees from Southern Cal and Texas Christian, reducing the shortfall in football income to less than $100,000. The department investment business manager, said yesterday.
Road guarantee are the share of gate receipts a university receives from the home team when playing an away game.
The contracts for the games at USC and at TCU called for KU to receive a minimum fee or half of the gate receipts, whichever figure was higher, but the UC game was $150,000. For the TCU game, the minimum was $50,000.
Last month an athletic department report projected a $180,000 shortfall in football income. To figure income from the department, Wachter said the minimum figures, Wachter said.
When the athletic department received the checks earlier this month, however, the totals far exceeded the minimum figures. FOR THE USC GAME, KU received $215,799. TCU sent KU $87,000.
'I thought they might be a little higher than the minimum, but nothing else.'
THE EXTRA REVENUE has helped to reduce the shortfall of football income to $82,000, Wachter said. She said the revenue was a "big help," but that the rest of the shortfall would have to be absorbed through increased basketball and Big Eight Conference revenues.
The unexpected increase was due more to low minimum guarantees than to large crowds wanting to see KU football, she said.
At the Sept. 24 USC game, which KU won 26-22, 49-133 attended. The game was played at the Los Angeles Coliseum, which holds nearly 100,000 spectators. About 45,000 were season ticket holders. Another 1,239 were KU
fans who made the trip from Lawrence
an area tour sponsored by the
biltmore hotel.
That left only about 3,000 local fans who bought single game tickets.
THE SEPT. 10 GAME at TCU drew a crowd of 24,261,778 of whom were KU
Big Eight road guarantees are figured differently than non-conference road games. Big Eight regulations require visiting teams to receive $500 for each receipts or a purchase of the sum of $175,000. Wachter said. There is no minimum fee.
The regulations allow Nebraska and Oklahoma, who sell out nearly every game, to give out less than 50 percent of gate receipts to visiting teams.
When KU played Nebraska and Oklahoma last season it received the top-seed in the playoffs.
Wachter said that if there was no maximum figure, KU's share from both the Nebraska and the Oklahoma would have been more than $200,000.
For the second time this season, Carl Henry has been named the Big Eight Conference Player of the Week. Henry last week led the second-place Jayhawks to road victories over Nebraska and Missouri.
In the Nebraska game, Henry scored 20 points and grabbed five rebounds as KU won, 67-66. He hit a jump shot with 18 seconds to left in the victory. It was KU's first season road victory of the season.
Against Missouri, Henry was held to six points in the first half but finished with 18 points and eight rebounds. He was called for three tails in the first quarter, and of foul difficulty in the second half of the Jawhaws to a 72-64 victory.
Henry gets conference honor again
"I just knew that I would have to go out and just play," Henry said. "You
can't worry about fools when you are playing."
IN CONFERENCE GAMES, Henry is averaging 19.3 points a game and 7.3 rebounds. He is leading the Big Ten in field goals with 63 percent of his shots from the field.
For the season, Henry is averaging 16.6 points and 6.3 rebounds a game, and he is shooting 57.4 percent from the field overall. The KU single-season record for shooting percentage is 60.3 percent, which was set by Ken Koenings in 1978. During that season, Koenings also set a record by making 68 percent of his shots in the conference season.
THE SOONERS are in first place in the conference and whipped the Jayhawks 103-84 in the first meeting between the two teams this season. It
Henry and the Jayhawks will try to upset nine-ranked Oklahoma tomorrow night in Allen Field House. The team will be at 8:10 p.m. regionally and by begin at 8:10 p.m.
was the first time that any Big Eight team had scored more than 100 points against Kansas.
In that game, Wayman Tisdale scored 28 points, and guard Tim McAlison added 28 Henry led KU again while Kelly Knight scored 17 points.
"I think we concentrated too much on Tisdale last time." KU center Brian Martin said "McAlister and I got together to talk, and we will play them better as a team."
JIAWHAY NOTES — The KU athletic department will "pass the hat" to gather contributions for the United States Olympic Committee. The KU cheerleaders will collect the money during the first timeout of the game. The money will help athletes training for the summer games.
Calvin Thompson is on a tear for KU, shooting 65.1 percent for his last four games. He has hit his last 20 free throws from David Magley's school record.
Jayhawks dominate home meet Track teams tune this week for Big 8 Indoor
By the Kansan Staff
The Kansas men's and women's track teams played host to their second All-Comers Meet of the season Saturday as a final tuneup for the Big Eight Indoor Championship this weekend at Lincoln, Neb.
The Jayhawks dominated the meet, winning nine of the 10 open women's events and seven of the 11 open men's events. The competition included athletes from area junior sports and several overall athletes competed unattached.
Women's shot-putter Stine Llerd won first place Saturday with a toss of 47 1/2 on Sunday she qualified for the NCAA Indoor Tournament by hitting the shot for a season-best 49-8 at the All-Commer Meet in Manhattan.
Four Jayhawk men competing unattached placed first in their events. They were David Cole in the long jump and high jump; Clint Johnson in the shot put; and Fred Lewis in the triple jump.
Six Big 8 teams battling for top-division finish
WOMEN PLACING FIRST in their events with season-best marks were Connie McKernan in the 60-yard hurdles and long jump; Vicki Pulcher in the 60 and 440; Danny Blakley in the mile. Kelly Wooldwin in the Rosie Woodman in the high jump and Caryne Finlay in the two mile.

Even the coaches aren't sure if it's Big Eight conferences backpacks all the time.
With two weeks remaining in the conference season, six teams — everyone except first-place Oklahoma (9-1) — are tied for third place with 4-6 records.
"Six teams are tied for third or eighth, depending on what town you're in," said Missouri coach Norm Stewart, whose defending champion Tigers are one of the six. "In Columbia, it's eighth."
The plethora of 4-6 records would indicate a down year in any conference, except that every team in the Big Eight also has an overall record better than the league that can make that claim this winter is the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"IF THE NAME of our league is the Big Ten or ACC," Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said, "we'd have headlines about saying what a great league this is."
Each of the six teams in third place has two games at home and two on the road the rest of the way. A team involved in the third-place logjam would have to go 3-1 to finish the conference season at 500, so that would entail winning at least one game on the road.
Iowa State, Missouri and Nebraska have each completed their two-games with Kansas, but each has a game remaining with No. 10 Oklahoma. Iowa is not in the top five. The Sooners in Norman, where Oklahoma is unbeaten in 12 games this season.
Colorado, Kansas State and Oklahoma State are all through with the rest of the country remaining against Kansas. Oklahoma State must play the Jayhawks in
Lawrence, where Kansas is 12-1 this season with the lone loss coming back in December at the hands of No. 4 Kentucky.
"IT'S AMAZING that going into the last two weeks of the season, six of us are essentially starting our seasons over again." Colorado coach Tom Apke said. "It doesn't matter what's happened in the past for the six of us. It's what happens during the next two weeks."
"I've never heard of anything like it," said Iowa State coach Johnny Orr of the third-place mob. "It's absolutely amazing . . . but I think it's great. It'll make it exciting right down to the last day."
Oklahoma with its 22-3 record and Kansas at 16-7 are both strong contenders for NCAA Tournament berths. Missouri at 15-10 and Nebraska and Iowa State both at 14-9 are strong NIT or marginal NCAA candidates, while Iowa State's aspiration at 13-10 mark Kansas and Oklahoma State are both 12-11 and would have to make a charge in the last two weeks for NIT consideration.
OFF THE COURT, Kansas State placed two members on the league's all-academic basketball team, center Eddie Elder and guard Jim Roder. Elder has a 3.2 grade point average in business administration.
Also named to the team yesterday were forwards Alex Stivirns of Colorado (3.1 in pre-med, psychology) and John Matkze of Nebraska (3.6 in math) and guard Jeff Hornacek of Iowa State (2.8 in business).
Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma continues to lead the conference in both scoring and rebounds with averages of 27.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. He leads the team in tops in assists with 184. Colorado's Jay Humphries leads in steals with 84.
Oklahoma's Wayman Tisdale reaches over the opposition during a non-conference game earlier in the season. Tisdale, whose latest scoring spree was a 28-point performance Saturday against Colorado, will be in Lawrence tomorrow night when Kansas takes on the No. 8 Sooners in Allen Field House.

Big donation will renovate stadium track
By the Kansan Staff
The track at Memorial Stadium will undergo a $190,000 renovation this summer to flatten the surface and to resurface the inside lane, the Facilities Committee chairman of the University Athletic Corporation said last week.
The project is being paid for with a private donation from Jim Hershberger, a former KU track standout and Wichita oil executive. New jumping areas at the south end of the stadium will also be constructed.
Mark Fisher, the committee chairman, said the jumping areas were needed to enable more events to be run during the fall. The large meet, such as the Kansas Relays
In 1970, Hershberger donated the funds for the all-weather Tartan track in New York.
FISHER SAID the committee was also considerating a proposal to remodel Allen Field House. Under the proposal, the track at the field house would be removed to allow permanent seating to be installed at the lower level, he said. Such seating would be more comfort- and offer spectators a better view
The changes would also allow concession areas to be installed closer to the stands, he said. It would not, increase the field house's capacity.
Fisher said the plan would only be enacted if the indoor track at the new Fred B. Anschutz multi-purpose athletics complex opened to students and faculty members.
"We don't want to leave joggers without a place to run in cold weather," he said.
