Bowling teams finish fall conference competition
By JOHN UNREIN
Sports Writer
When Warren Boozer decided to recruit KU's first women's bowling team this semester, he knew the task wouldn't be easy.
Boozer, Jaybowl recreation manager, said yesterday that he searched for unknown talent in the physical education bowling classes that he taught. He watched weekend bowlers during breaks on the job. And finally he convinced five women to bowl for the team.
"To get a girls' team, I just had to beat the bushes." Boozer said. "We finally came up with a team, but in the first match we had a little trouble. We went to it and thought I think the other girls averaged scores somewhere between 110 and 115 in each game.
"But we've come a long way since then. We're not too far out in left field, and I do think we have a pretty doggone good team."
Boozer said he was also pleased with the performance of the men's bowling team. The University of Kansas has had a men's team for more than 20 years. Both teams finished fall conference action a week ago, with the women's team and the women's team fifth in the Kansas-Nebraska Bowling Conference.
KU COMPETES WITH Wichita State, Kansas State, Emporia State and Nebraska in its conference, Boozer said.
But the teams, Boozer said, have not faced their toughest competition from opponents. Their main problem is lack of support and money.
"I don't know whether we n ever able to get up to the caliber of Wichita State, which was the national champion last year," Boozer said, "but we could be a lot better if we got more support from KU."

Boozer said that because he was not aware that Student Union Activities gave money to sports clubs, he had not applied until two weeks ago for recognition of the bowling team as a sports club.
For the 18 years that Boozer has coached the team, it has subscribed on the $1,500 a year the Kansas Union designated for the bowling team's use.
ADMINISTRATORS of the Kansas Union, Boozer said, never had allowed him to accept support from any outside organization because they thought the money would influence operations of the Jaybowl.
But Boozer said that the team needed as much money as it could get. Now the team needed $20 million.
In addition to funding from SUA, Boozer said, the bowling team will

continue to be aided by Marilyn Miller,
owner of two Lawrence box hotels.
"SHE'S JUST A DREAM." Boozer said. "She has just bent over backward to do anything she can to help us. I guess she's just a KU person at heart because she had two sons graduate from here."
said, and has contributed some money to the program. She is currently looking for a van to donate to the team for use on future out-of-town trips.

Boozer said he hoped Miller could find a van before the men's team's next trip Nov. 27-29, to St. Louis for the National College Match Play Championships, their final meet this semester.
The men's team will also compete in a collegiate invitational in Las Vegas over the Christmas break. Boozer said, Both men's and women's teams will finish the year in a conference tournament Jan. 27-29, in Manhattan.
The women's team has finished competition for the remainder of the season.
THE MEMBERS of the women's roster are: Diane Miodenziewicz, Lawrence Laura Rouen, Haysville freshman Stephanie Clapton, freshman Brandon Glennice, III, freshman and Barden Wichita Glennice, III, freshman and Barden Wichita
The men's roster includes: Jim Mack, Kailan Han, senior; Ned Iles, Lytas senior; Howard Shaw, Lawrence senior; Dave Passagliac, Shawn Larson, senior; Jeff Stallone, Kelly Coiffon, Tupaela freshman; Vivor Barb, Ulysses freshman; Michael Brennan, Kaman City, Kevin Koeven, Kevin Fried, Kaman City, Kan.
Officials say hunters killing fewer pheasants this season
By United Press International
The guns of autumn began be-
come last weekend in western
Kansas, but pheasant hunters are
bagging far fewer birds than they
did during last year's record setting
season, state fish and game officials
say.
"There's no question our pheasant hunting is down pretty substantially," said Randy Rodgers, a wildlife research biologist in Hays for the Kansas Fish and Game Commission.
Upland game bird hunters in 1982 bagged more than 1.5 million pheasants, a record for Kansas, which is considered one of the premiere pheasant hunting states in the nation. Fish and game officials, prior to the start of last week's second season, predicted another sterling bird success, although they conceded it would not parallel last year's success.
"I THINK MAYBE WE came out with too much of an optimistic prediction," Rodgers said of early predictions this year.
Cindy Konda of the fish and game commission's Dodge City office said, "Pheasant are down and there is no such an exception, there are still lots
of birds. Anybody that goes out and hunts should find a bird."
She said hunters last weekend averaged up to two birds, compared with the four birds most took on opening weekend last year.
Rodgers said unic miro fields this fall have made it difficult for hunters to flush pheasants out into the open.
He also said the summer's scorching drought and a cool, damp spring delayed pheasant nesting, which resulted in late hatchling. When the pheasant eggs did hatch, about three weeks late, hot temperatures killed some of the young birds.
Rogers said a preseason survey in Kansas's pheasants revealed a 20 percent to 30 percent statewide population decline.
"EARLY INDICATIONS from the hunting season indicates it to be off more than that," he said.
No hunter fatalities have been reported since the beginning of the upland game bird season, but the only increase in hunters will be accidentally shot.
"I'm predicting, when the smoke clears, we'll have 12 to 14 hunting accidents," said Royal Elder; asaw he enforcement for the commission
