WSU to battle KU; Jeffries suspends 7
By JEFF CRAVENS Associate Sports Editor
Wichita State, after losing its first two games to teams that were hardly national powers, will try to upset the Kansas Jayhawks for the second time in two years Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
On top of the losing streak, Head Coach Willie Jeffries announced earlier this week that seven players were dismissed from the team for breaking team rules.
Defensive tackle Adam Betthea was the only starting player suspended from the team. Bethea will held out of two games, Jeffries said.
However, Jeffries thinks that the Shockers can turn their season around when they win.
"WE RECRUIT against the University of Kansas and it's of paramount importance that we win this game," Jefferies said.
Wichita State is trying to recover from the loss of quarterback Prince McJunkins, who graduated last year. The Shockers lost their opening game to Missouri Southern, an NAIA school, 29-21, then lost to Ball State, 25-21.
In two games WSU was fumbled in
loses, losing five of them. Mitchell has
also lost 14.
TRYING TO replace McLunkins is Tyrone Mitchell, Jefferies said that Mitchell had played well, and that turnovers had really hurt the offense.
Tailback Eric Denson has rushed for 100 yards in each of WSU's games again needs 49 yards to move into 10th place on the Shockers all-time rising list.
Linebacker Nathaniel Hayes, the Shockers leading tackler a year ago, had what Jefferies said was a bad game against Missouri Southern, but rebounded last week. Hayes will lead the WSU defense against a Kansas offense that struggled against Texas Christian last week.

THE CASTLE
TEA ROOM
By United Press International
Liberty, crossing the finish line 1:10 ahead of Australia II, earned a 1-0 record in the best-of-seven series for yachtin's most coveted prize and took a log up in the offer to maintain sports' status. The 182-year American hold on the 152-year
Conner consistently said that his tight contests in the defender finals would give him an advantage over Australia II.
On the second reaching leg of the triangular course on Rhode Island Sound with 3-to-5 foot swells, Conner hoisted a large spinner and sailed past Australia II, taking her wind. In the close tacking duel that followed, Liberty maintained a lead from one to three boat lengths.
Although Australia II maintained a narrow lead at the start and rounded the first two legs in the gusty 18-knot northwestern winds. Conner clipped the Aussie advantage and finished the third leg 16 seconds ahead.
In the tense clash of the two boats, defender Dennis Conner found his summer-long tight races paid off against Australia II's winged keel with Conner emerging the leader after several tight confrontations.
The Australians were plagued by rigging problems. By managing to stay between Australia II and the buoys, Liberty stretched the margin to :28 on the second windward leg and :35 on the only leeward beat.
Liberty edges favored Aussies
NEWPORT, R.I. - America's Cup defender Liberty crosses the finish line after edging Australia II in the first round of the best of seven series.LIBerty won yesterday's race by 1:10 over the favored Australians.The United States has not lost in the finals in 132 years.
Yachting observers regarded the intense competition as the most formidable in the 132 years that the United
States has kept the silver Victorian trophy.
At stake is more than the bottomless cup bolted to a table in the host New York Yacht Club's Manhattan mansion; the U.S. has warded off 24 challenges since the schooner America won a contest around the Isle of Wight in 1851.
Water poured into the delicate aluminum yachts, with crew members pumping it out under the gray skies in 60-degree temperatures.
Australia II had taken a tight three-second edge at the gun but the lead changed four times on the first 4.5 mile upwind leg. The Aussies pointed higher into the wind and held the Americans wide and high approaching the first mark, rounding the buoy eight seconds ahead.
Liberty kept a close boat length behind Australia II's stern, but Bertrand stretched the margin by another two seconds rounding the second mark.
Once Coney took the lead, both boats headed on independent tacts, each seeking to gain the maximum advantage from the gusting winds. Conner used the changes in wind direction to increase his lead, while Australia II pointed higher into the wind after each tack.
Although the National Weather Service issued a small craft advisory for Rhode Island Sound, the Race Committee of the NYC decided to force the Shipyard and Shifty winds forced postponement of Tuesday's planned opening contest.
While 500 spectator craft were kept away from the 24.3 mile course by a floatia of Coast Guard vessels, five planes and four helicopters, the predictions of both camps that the race would be tight came true.

By the Kansan Staff
The University Events Committee yesterday vetoed a request by the Student Sports Council to have the Blue Rally in front of Wescue Hall.
The committee, however, did grant permission for the party, but offered the Zone S parking lot as an alternative sight. The council yesterday agreed to

committee thought would hinder traffic too much the night before the K-State game. The request was also denied, she said, in consideration of students studying on campus who would be disrupted by the noise, and because other groups had been denied requests to have parties on Wescoe Beach.
Jeanne Longaker, KU Police heutenant and member of the Events Committee, said the request was denied by the committee for three chief reasons.
