By the Kansan Staff
After 76 games, Big Eight basketball attendance is averaging nearly 100 more fans a game compared to last year's record-setting pace, according to a Big Eight report released yesterday.
Combined average attendance a game for all eight schools is 8,965 which is 73 percent of arena capacity. That figure compares to last year's average of 8,421 against the current year. The average attendance is 11,067 - 92.2 percent of capacity.
"At this point in the season, the figures are impressive. We could break last year's record if the pace is kept up," said Tracy Dittemore, associate service bureau director of the Big Fight.
Monte Johnson, KU athletic director,
said the increase didn't surprise him.
*When you have guys like Wayman Tisdale and even Mark Turgeon you're
going to have a lot of fan interest," he said. "It's a combination of a lot of schools being competitive and having fine coaches and players."
The University of Kansas has averaged 11,227 fans for 11 games, or 73 percent of the 15,200 capacity in Allen Field House. KU is second to Iowa State in average total attendance. The games are averaging 12,174 fans a game.
Terry Johnson, KU's interim ticket manager, said ticket sales had picked up since the start of the Big Eight season. The KU football team State sold out last Thursday, he said.
Oklahoma ranks third in attendance for all games with an average of 10,211. The Sooners, however, have come out on top and have a percent of the seats filled each game.
Nebraska ranks fourth with an average attendance of 9,419 followed by Missouri, 7,632, Colorado, 7,324, Kansas, 7,088, and Oklahoma State, 5,688.

"This official inquiry follows a preliminary inquiry by the NCAA into the university's football program," Cribbat said in a statement. The NCAA has been conducting an ongoing investigation of alleged recruiting violations at the university.
Ex-Bill says Cribbs agreed to clause
SPORTS BRIEFS
BUFFALO, N.Y. — A former top official with the Buffalo Bills yesterday said running back Joe Cribbos agreed to a right-of-first refusal clause in the contract he signed with the NFL team as a rookie in 1980.
Cribs, whose four-year contract he signed with the Bills in 1980 expired yesterday, has signed a contract to play with the Stallions in 1984. The Bills, however, say his old pact contains a right-of-first refusal clause.
Stew Barber, who served as the Bills' vice president of administration from 1980 to 1983, testified at a federal court hearing held to determine whether Cribs could play pro football for the Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League.
Illinois receives inquiry into alleged wrongdoings
Buffalo says the clause gives them a chance to match any offer Cribbis received from another team.
Barber said he conducted contract negotiations with Dr. Jerry Argovitz, Cribs' agent, in late May and June of 1980, and offered Cribbs a five-year contract with an option year.
Barber said Argovitz, however, sought a four-year pact with no option year for Cribbs.

Attorneys for KC player want sentence reduced
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Kan — Attorneys for former American League batting champion Willie Wilson have requested a reduction in his drug-related sentence saying the athlete had an "excellent record" prior to the his federal offense and was no threat to society.
WILSON'S ATTORNEYS are asking for the 1982 batting champion's release from the remaining six weeks of his sentence because he is "no danger to society and" "any benefits of his release have now been achieved."
Last week, U.S. Magistrate J. Milton Sullivan denied Martin's December request for a sentence reduction. The judge, who sentenced all four men, said the sentence length was "valid and appropriate."
"His public humiliation is complete," attorneys said in a motion filed in federal court last week. "No one can be held responsible." That he received favored treatment.
Wilson was one of four members of the 1983 Kansas City Royals who pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a federal drug-trafficking probe originating in the Kansas City area. Jerry Martin, Willie Aikens and Wilson each pleaded guilty to attempting to possess cocaine. All were sentenced to a year in a Federal Prison with that term suspended. Wilson and Aikens were also fined $0,000 and Martin was fine $2,500.
THE MOTION ASKED that the athlete be allowed to work toward gaining his self-respect and return to a productive life.
consequences which can result from the most causal involvement with the child.
Wilson, the first baseball player sentenced to prison on a drug-related incident, was suspended from baseball for a year following his three-month prison sentence and $5,000 fine. The prison will be reviewed, however, in May.
IN MARTIN'S MOTION, attorney<sup>10</sup>
said it was imperative that the player
be allowed to participate in an exercise
program to condition himself for the
1984 baseball season. The Royals did
not renew Martin's contract.

"It would appear that Mr. Wilson's sentence to prison resulted not only from the unusual sentencing considerations and retribution and rehabilitation, but also to set an example which would encourage attention, "the document said."
Wilson, immediately after he was sentenced, cursed and angryly told reporters that federal officials had "made an example out of me." He has since promised to help establish a dietary drug rehabilitation program.
The motion asked that the athlete be allowed to work toward gaining his self respect and return to a productive life. Former Co' Young Award winner Winner of the "Athlete of the Year" cocaine possession and is also serving three months of a one-year sentence.
Seventeen people were indicted or pleaded guilty last fall to charges stemming from an investigation into a Kansas City area suburb.

"As a fighter, I was always opposed to the use of thumbless gloves because like other fighters, I was leery of things." Leonard said. "But after using them in the gym, I saw that they didn't hamper me at all. There's greater safety and I actually feel as if I punch harder, especially to the body."

Greece states it won't let LA use Olympic flame
By United Press International
ATHENS — The Greek government yesterday said that it would not allow the Olympic flame to be used for commercial purposes during the Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
"The government, expressing the sensitivity of the people, will not agree to the commercialization of the Olympic flame," said Secretary General of Sports Kimon Kouloures to William Hussey who is head of the United Nations' Organizations of the Angeles Olympics Organizing Committee.
"The flame belongs to the International Olympic Committee, but Greece is its guardian," said Koulouris. "In this unrelenting commercialization of sports and rumination of any sense of amateurism, only the flame has remained uncorrupted."
Hussey told Kouloures that the flame torch relay in the United States was to cover 11,306 miles and of that distance, 6,214 miles would be covered by runners whose sponsors would pay $3,000 a mile.
