Spring season ends tomorrow Football team trades pads for bats
By JEFF CRAVENS Sports Writer
kervin Bell hit a home run and Frank Seurer made a spectacular catch in the outfield, but coach Mike Lowe would star at yesterday's football practice.
Or was it a softball practice?
The KU Jayhawk's spring football season will end tomorrow afternoon with a scrimmage at 1:30 at Memorial Stadium. Yesterday's practice Was a relaxing way to end the spring, according to Gottfried.
"At every place I've been, we've always ended the spring season with a picnic," Gottfried said. "Usually we had it on a Sunday, but the coaches are going out recruiting, so we had it today."
GOTTRIED PITTED the coaches into the championship game against a team of players called the Longballs. In the end, they won the tournament. Gottried also hit
the ball well, tripling and scoring the winning run in the loser's bracket final.
Besides the coaches' team, the trainers made up another squad, while the players divided up into teams to play in a double-ellimination tournament.
"It gives them a chance to beat us at something." Gottfried said. "It's also another way for the team to pull together."
The spring practice schedule has been erratic because of the weather. Gottfried said he wished that they had gone out earlier. "I didn't, the Hawks also got a lot accomplished."
"WE'VE HAD IMPROVEMENT from the offense since day one," Gottfried said. "The defense is a little behind, but they've showed improvement."
"Part of that is because we put in a new defense and we have new coaches. I wish we had 20 more days to practice."
Seurer will again lead the offense,
which promises to throw the ball a lot.
Bell, show flashes of the form he displayed during his freshman year, has been showed by minor leg injuries and has been playable in the scrimmage tomorrow.
Also back after sitting out most of last season with a knee injury, is offensive lineman Paul Fairchild. Fairchild, who smacked a monstrous home run yesterday, suffered a severe bruise in this spring but is moving better now.
Tight end Ernie Wright is wearing a cast because of a knee injury he suffered in the first scrimmage of the spring.
THE JAYHAWK wide-tackle six defense has improved during the spring with the help of junior college transfers Ken Davis and Darryl Gradding.
"Davis and Gradington have played well this spring," Gottfried said. "They're a lot like freshmen in that they have adapted to the school and the class."
"We did a lot of the things that we wanted to get done," Goffried said. "We came closer to finding out what we can and cannot do in the fall."
"About the 13th or 14th practice, we really started striving to get competitive in practice and we wanted them maxim. This is a fun group to work with."
ondary includes Elvis Patterson, who, pound for pound, is the strongest man on the Jayhawk football team.
JAYHAWK NOTES — May will be a busy month for G Gottfried and the coaching staff. They will hit the recruiting trail and G Gottfired will make a tour of Kansas. Gottfried said he will be home for two days out of the month.
Defensive coordinator Ron Zook celebrated his 29th birthday yesterday. Zook's wife is expecting a baby in four weeks and Zook said that he hoped he would be around when the baby was born.
"I hope I'm not in Florida recruiting when she has it," Zook said. "My dad is coming."
KU beats Cornhuskers in softball tournament
Bv United Press International
Tracy Bunge pitched both games, the first her 13th shutout, and brought her record to 21-5.
NORMAN. Okla. — The Kansas Jayhawks opened the Big Eight tournament yesterday with a 3-0 shutout of the Nebraska Cornhuskins, but lost in the second game of the round-robin tournament to Oklahoma. 4-0.
After the first day of the tournament, Oklahoma is the only team without a loss. In their first game of the day, the Sooners beat Kansas 7-0 in the state's Iowa State 1-9 in nine innings, and Nebraska beat Missouri 4-3.
In the KU-OU game, the Jayhawks racked up their three runs in the bottom of the sixth when Becky Ascensio doubled to right. Bunge
advanced Sheila Connolly, who pitch-ran for Ascensio, to third on another double to right. Connolly scored on a Liz Commino single up the middle, and Cobb singled Bunge home. Commino advanced on a passed ball to second, then scored on Candi Boyer's single.
In the second game, the 'Hawks couldn't get a rally going, stranding three runners.
The Jayhawks face Kansas State and Oklahoma State today.
The Jayhawks went into the tournament ranked 10th nationally, and ranked third in the Big Eight coaches poll.
Play in the round-robin tournament continues through tomorrow, when the champion will be named. The winner will receive the automatic conference bid for the AIAW College World Series.
The Kansas Jayhawk basketball team finally signed a point guard, Cedric Hunter, a 5-11 guard from Omaha South High School.
Last season Hunter averaged 27.3 points a game to lead Nebraska's largest high school division. Omaha South finished 13-9.
Hunter, who played center in high school, is now running for Omaha South's truck team. He has jumped 10 times and triple jump and 23 feet in the long jump.
Nebraska recruited Hunter for much of the season, but reportedly shied away because of grade problems. He was not certain whether Hunter will not yet certain whether Hunter will
make the required 2.0 grade point average needed to compete in the NCAA.
The announcement came a couple of days after Chris Pitri, a 6-7 center from Lawrence High, signed with the 'Hawks, Jim Pelton, Palos Verdes, Calif., also signed with KU before the season started.
Hunter is the first guard signed by the Jayhawks and new coach Larry Brown. Earlier this month, Curtis Alken chose the University of Pittsburgh over Kansas after giving his team a 15-6 victory in the season. Pittsburgh's basketball program is now being investigated by the NCAA.
