The close of a record-setting career
Victories few in Kallmeyer's final season
By JEFF CRAVENS Associate Sports Editor
The Kansas offense, led by quarterback Frank Seurer and receiver Bobby Johnson, has become the best passing team in KU history this season.
Tomorrow's game will be the final appearance for Seurer and 18 other seniors in a hayawk wk uniform. Offensive starters E.J. Jones, Kerwin Bell, Remwick Atkins, Reggie Smith, K.C Brown and Paul Fairchild all will become part of the history of KU football. Darren Green dislocated a finger yesterday and will not be able to play against Missouri
Another senior who has left his mark in the KU record book is kicker Bruce Kallmeyer. The senior from Shawnee Mission owns virtually every KU kicking mark and also holds a handful of Big Eight records.
This season alone, Kalmeyer has set the Big Eight field goal record, the KU scoring mark for both a season and a game. He recorded a record for points in a game by a kicker.
Kallmeyer has had an excellent season, but he said winning could have been the key.
"ITS TOUGHER to concentrate when you're not winning," Kallmeyer said. "Two years ago, when we went 8 and 3 went to a bowl game, it was fun to practice and to play. When you lose. You had to work a little harder and it's tough."
Kallmeyer said the most frustrating game of the year was the season-opening loss to Northern Illinois, a team that KU was supposed to beat.
"The first game is so important," he
said. "I guess we've had quite a few frustrating games, but the first one is the one you probably remember the most."
After the Jayhawks lost to Northern Illinois and tied Texas Christian, Kallmerhey set the NCAA record by scoring a first Winich StateUtah U17 history.
following week when KU traveled to Southern California and upset the Troians. 27-23.
"I'll definitely remember that game." Kallmeier said. "I can't see
"No one expected us to win, and we had a few guys from California so we were all fired up," Kalmeyer said. "It wins biggest wins since we've been up here."
Although he has won many games with late field goals, Kaliiner never made it.
'It's tougher to concentrate when you're not winning. Two years ago, when we went 8-3 and went to a bowl game, it was fun to practice and to play. When you lose, you have to work a little harder and it's tough.'
—Bruce Kallmeyer, KU place kicker
ever having the opportunity to score that many points in a game again. I don't consider that a great game because the offense was moving the ball and I kicked five fairly short field goals."
THE GAME KALLMEYER remembers most from this season came the
years ago as his biggest kick. KU won the game 17-16.
"There were, I think, seven seconds left and I had to kick a 38-yarder into the wind." Kallmyer said. "It was hard, but it was wet. That had to be my toughest kick.
"The Nebraska game two years ago
when I kicked five field goals and we were taking them three quarters ago.
Of the numerous records that are now Kallmeyer's, such as the KU record for consecutive extra points, the KU scoring record or the Big Eight field goal record, he does not see any of these as his finest accomplishment.
"T'D HAVE TO SAY the career percentage record is the one I'm most proud of. "More important is having a score or scoring consistency is what kicksters try to achieve."
his career field goal average is 769. Kallimer is currently majoring in engineering and has two semesters of professional football may be in his future.
"I've been contacted by a few teams and some agents, but now I just have to sit around and wait. "he said. "If I make it, great. If I don't, I just have to concentrate on school. No matter what, I'm going to finish my degree."
Even though the Jayhawks are 3-4-1 and going no where, Kallmyer said the team was still focused.
"The last game is so important because that's the one you remember." Kallmeier said. "I'd like to end up on a good note. Missouri is a big rivalry, and we've played close games the last three years."
Tomorrow, No. 3 will trot out on the field for the last time and take with him one of the three prizes.
"It's been a great experience," he said. "I would have liked to have a few more wins. I'll be thinking about the game and not it being my last one.
"Four years have gone by kind of fast. Four years is a long time, but it doesn't take as much to do it."

Six players selected for ITCA meet
KU tennis team to compete with national talent
By JOHN UNREIN Sports Writer
SIX KU tennis players will compete today and tomorrow in the ITCA Intercollegiate Region 5 Championships at Oklahoma City.
Scott Perelman, KU tennis coach, said he was notified yesterday that Mike Wolf, Michael Center, Charles Stearns, Jim Syrett, Scott Alexander and Richard Blond were accepted this weekend. The team will pete in the indoor meet sanctioned by the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association.
"The exciting part of this tournament is that it will be a great chance for the KU players and our program to get some more national exposure." Perfection, has also been a great motivator for our guys to stay on top of their games."
The ITCA championship meet, strictly a men's individual tournament, is a regional qualifier for next February's national intercollegiate tournament at Princeton, N.J. Team scores will not be kept, Perelman said.
THE JAYHAWKS last competed this fall in an 0ct. 15 dual win over Kansas State. For the past month, Perelman said, the team has practiced nights at the Alvamar Country Club's indoor courts, in addition to a daily conditioning program of weight training and running.
"We've tried to approach this time of the year as a time of individual improvement." Perelman said. "We're still working on improving our team and stronger for this tournament."
"This weekend is exciting for me as a coach, because for the first time since I've been here we've got a chance to play together at singles and the doubles competitions."
Perealm, in his second year at KU, said the Jayhawks had never competed in the ITM championship meet before a recent loss to the Giants this time KU, has a chance to be noticed.
Each KU player will compete in both singles and doubles, Perelman said. The doubles teams will be Wolf and Syrett, and Alexander and Blond.
"WOLF HAS GOT to be one of the favorites in singles," Pereira said. "And again in doubles, Wolf and Center have to be among the favorites."
Fate strikes KU football team again; Green sidelined with jammed finger
Wide receiver Darren Green . . . will miss the final game in his career

Pereman said that 64 singles players and 32 doubles teams from Region 5 were invited to the single elimination tournament.

Just when coach Mike Gottfried and the Kansas Jayhawks thought that they had every bad break happen to them in the season, fate again raised its ugly heat.
Yesterday, in a routine passing drill, KU wide receiver Darren Green dislocated a finger on his right hand and will be unable to play in the Jayhawks final home game tomorrow afternoon against Missouri.
Kickoff for the homecoming game is set for 1:30 p.m.
After Green's finger was jammed by the wrist, he was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
"It's like plugging a dykes," Gottfried said. "Every time you think you have it stopped, you spring another leak. It's tough for a teacher to miss his last game, but that's not hard on us. For us. Like I said when he was hurt before, its like losing two people."
GREEN, ONE of many seniors, will watch the rest of his class play their final game in a Jayhawk uniform against the Tigers. If Kerwin Bell
starts at tailback, eight of the 11 offensive starters will be seniors.
Starters Frank Seurer, E.J. Jones,
Bell, Bobby Johnson, Renwick Atkins,
Reggie Smith, Paul Fairchild, K.C.
Brown, Bruce Kullmeier and reserves
Craig Kirschbaum and Jeff Sneed will
all be trying to upset the bowl-bound
Tigers in front of the expected home-
coming crowd of 35,000.
Defensively, Marky and Cary Alex
ander, Mike Arbanas, Jeff Colter, Elvis
Patterson, Eddie Simmons and Ken
Powers are the seniors.
"I think the seniors have given a good effort," Gottried said. "They know they at the foundation and they are willing to build but they know it will take time."
Missouri, 7-3 and headed for the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, will be led by junior quarterback Marlon Adler. Adler, from Winfield, made the Tigers a walk-on two years ago and is now ranked sixth on the MU total offense
"HE DOES BOTH things well," Gottfried said. "He can run and pass equally well. We need to contain him and keep him from getting a hot hand."
Adler's favorite target is senior
"We have to stop them," Gottfried said. "That's the big thing we have to do to have any chance of beating them."
receiver Craig White from Lawrence.
White is MU'S second all-time receiver
and needs five catches to pass James
Wilder for the top spot.
THE TIGER DEFENSE shut down Oklahoma two weeks ago and features Taft Sales, who was voted Big Eight Defensive Player of the Week for his 56th win. He read coach Warren Powers said he was concerned about the KU offense.
Last season, Missouri edged KU 16-10 in Columbia. The year before, the Jayhaws whipped the Tigers 19-11 in Lawrence to elimb a bid to the Hall of Fame Bowl. This season there are no injuries on the horizon for the Jayhaws.
"Our game with Kansas is always a tough battle." Powers said. "I'm sure you will."
"Kansas is the second best offensive team in the conference." Powers said. They've got a great passing game and on defense, they are attackers in the country in Frank Seurer.
3 Royals sentenced to federal prison
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal监理 ignored please for leniency yesterday and ordered former batting champ Willie Wilson and two Kansas City Royals teammates to serve three games in the blind bars for attempting to buy cocaine.
U. S. Magistrate J. Milton Sullivant said he hoped the stiff sentence — the maximum prison sentence for the misdemeanor offense — would serve as a "deterrent to young people" in the use of drugs.
First baseman Willie Aikens and former Royals outfielder Jerry Martin, who along with Wilson pleaded guilty last month to attempting to buy a minute amount of cocaine, declined to discuss the sentences.
AN ANGRY WILSON left the courtroom hand-in-hand with his wife and told reporters in a brief aside laced with that "they made an example of me."
Aiken $5,000 and Martin $2,500. He suspended the final nine months of the one-year sentence, although all three were convicted for an additional two years.
Wilson and Martin were ordered to surrender to the authorities at the prison on Dec. 5. Aiken was given until Jan. 3 to allow him to complete the remaining five weeks of his drug rehabilitation program in Baltimore.
"THE COURT regards this as a serious offense," Sullivan said of the misdemeanor charge. "Frankly, if there wasn't any market, there would be a sales ban. An appropriated sentence would be tough to young people for the use of drugs."
The magistrate recommended the three ballplayers be sent to the minimum-security federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, which has a 19-year prison rehabilitation program, and suggested they become a part of that program.
Sullivant also fined Wilson and
alleged cocaine distribution in several Kangas City suburbs.
Former Cy Young Award winner Vida Blue was also swept up in that investigation and pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanor charge of possession. The former Royals pitcher, who faces sentencing Dec. 15, later testified that he and his co-op indicted 12 people on charges of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. None of the Royals were named in that Oct. 18 indictment, however.
Akens, 29, who slammed four home runs in a loss effort in the 1980 World Series, has been on the trading block for some time and team sources have indicated it would be unlikely that he would be a part of the 1984 Royals.
BLUE WAS DROPPED from the team and placed on wavers at mid-season after he posted a 0-5 record. The team later declined to pick up the contract because of action during the 1983 season because of an injured wrist.
But Wilson, 28, who was the American League batting champion in 1982,
apologized to the team and fans last Friday and announced his commitment to help establish a community drug rehabilitation program. The announcement was made with Ewing Kauffman, the Royals' owner, who said Wilson was the only player so far to come to him for help. Wilson pledged $50,000 and "unlimited hours" to the effort.
WILSON'S EXPECTED release from prison March 5 would allow him to attend spring training in time for the Rovals' opening game April 2.
However, baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn reiterated yesterday that he could assess additional penalties on the four, including — but not limited to — suspension from baseball for an indeterminate period.
Kuhn said he would make a ruling Dec. 15 on the four along with Doggers'pitcher Steve Howe, another baseball player linked to drug use.
The Royals have declined to say what actions, if any, would be taken against them.
