Fambrough returns to the field as state representative for Dole
By PETE WICKLUND Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — Don Fambrough took to the field again yesterday.
But it wasn't the same kind of field he had become associated with over the past 35 years. The former KU head football coach had traded football for
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, announced early yesterday that he had appointed Fambrough to the position of state field representative.
Fambrough, 60, was fired from his coaching position by December by President Montel Monee.
Fambridge was put on the senator's payroll immediately and will begin traveling the state next week as a liaison between Dole and his constituency.
In a press conference yesterday afternoon at Dole's Topeka office, Fambrough explained how he had come upon his new position.
"SOME MONTHS ago I was trying to decide what I was going to do." Farnbaugh said. "I'd spent most of my life with her and I was looking for something else."
A principal concern for Fambrough was that although he wanted a position outside football he also wanted to stay in Kansas.
He said he had made that point clear to people who inquired about his plans for the future, including Dole, offered Bambrough the $24,000-a-year
position after he had made several inquiries about Fambrough's plans.
"I've lived here for 35 years and have raised my family here," Fambrough said.
Steen Coe, Dole's state administrative assistant, said Fambrough would spend three to four days a week traveling to various communities that support the town with mayors and city councils to discuss their concerns.
brough said he was pleased to join Dole's staff.
"I have tremendous respect for the senator and the work he is doing." Fambrough said.
Fambrough will also set up office hours in courthouses and city halls so

by car but said that he did not know whether the senator would supply a car for him.
As for returning to coaching, Fam-brough said that he would like to spend as much time in his new position as he did in football.
The former coach said he still had a year remaining on his contract with KU. He said his salary at KU would be about $46,000.
"THE SENATOR is really concerned that he can't in the state as much as he would like," Fambrough said. "This is where I figure I can be a big help to him. And not just in the major cities but in many towns you probably never heard of."

CARACAS, Venezuela — Four weightlifters had their medals taken away from them at the Pan American Games yesterday after an anti-drug test revealed that they had taken anabolic steroids before their events.
Canadians Michel Viau and Guy Greaveet were among the four whose medals were revoked. Three other weightiflers — Guillermo Lopez of Argentina, Jose Lozade of Puerto Rico and Caballero M. Dolcey of Colombia — were found to have taken the same drug.
All seven weightlifters will be reported to the International Weightlifting Federation and to their National Olympic Committee for sanctions, said the Tazquer president, Marshman of ODDEA, a social security body of the Pan American Games.
IN ADDITION to Viau and Greavette, Cuba's Daniel Nunez and Alberto Blanco were forced to return their medals. Nunez won three gold medals in the 132-pound class and Blanco won three golds in the 220-pound class. Grea eta captured two golds and one silver in the 180-pound division and '\\lau won two bronzes in the 149-pound class.
Nunez set a world record in the snatch with a lift of 304 pounds, but Rana said any records set by disqualified athletes would not be honored.
Rana indicated that several more athletes, perhaps as many as 50, might be involved in drug violations. But he said he would wait for an official report from the American Games Medical Commission before deciding on future action.
William Simon, president of the United States Olympic Committee, said he did not know whether any U.S. officials under review for taking illegal drugs
"IT'S A REAL TRAGEDY," Simon
said. "But it's no surprise to those in the Olympic movement. This was a time bomb waiting to explode."
Before the sanction, athletes at the Pan American Games were randomly tested after their events. However, with the latest disclosures, all medal winners will be subjected to ant drug tests as two or three others at random.
Grid team faces hard one-a-day
Anabolic steroids are a muscle-building drug that in some cases can have adverse effects on liver and kidney functions and can possibly lead to sterility in men. The drugs are usually used in sports in which great upper body strength is required.
"Today was a little tougher, with the first day of classes," Gottfried said. "They've been running around all day, and you can tell in the workout.
The first day of classes also marked the first day of one-a-day workouts for the KU Jayhawk football team. Coach Mike Gottfried ran the Jayhawks through a grueling workout before letting the team go to a barbecue.
"They've survived two-a-days, and now they have to build a little mental fortune."
Safety Steve Cole, whose left hand was broken in last Saturday's intrasquad scrimgam, suited up for practice. Cole did not play, but watched practice from the sidelines wearing a spint on his broken hand.
Dan Vierling, who was batting for a starting position on the defensive line, went down with a bruised knee. Gitterman said that the injury was not serious.
Wide receiver Bobby Johnson and linebacker Bill Malavias both missed practice because of enrollment problems, Gottfried said.
GOTTFRIED SAID Cole would be fitted with a soft cast today and would work out with the team. Cole is batting Clyde Johnson for a starting position.
Sophomore cornerback Dino Bell has moved up on the depth chart steadily since being switched from tailback. Bell started in Saturday's scrimmage.
"Dino is definitely in the hunt for a starting cornerback position." Gottfried said. "He gives us a little personality back there and he's added some leadership that we were looking for."
After viewing films of Saturday's
120-seat play program, Gottried said he
could have spent the day watching.
"The coaches of each position were satisfied for where we are right now." Gottfried said. "We have a big gap to close before the first game."
Junior Mike Fredrick moved ahead of freshman Mike Orth for the number two quarterback position behind Frank Seurer. Gottfried said.
"It wasn't so much what Mike Orchid didn't do, but what Mike Fredrick did." Gottfried said of Fredrick's performance in Saturday's scrimmage.
Former Jayhawk runningback Bill Campfield was a casuist in the NPL roster cutbacks years ago. He played Philadelphia Eagles after being with the Eagles since 1978.
