Salb said his injury was not bothering him much and that he was going all out for track this fall.
Karl's decision not to particiate in football during the "71 season came last spring.
"We're lucky here at Kansas," he said, "because we have great indoor facilities where we can swim and work out all year around."
"Coach Rodgers called me into his office and asked if he could count on me for the next year," he said. "I would give him I would not participate."

"I really do miss it," he said,
"when we played our first game again.
I know I was choked up so choked up I almost cryed. I knew I should be out there with me."
As the season progresses Salb admits that his emotions are somewhat more under control than in the KU games, but "it is still there."
Salb is now rated third in the world in the outdoor shotput and is continually practicing.
"The heavyweights on the track team work out three days a week." he said
Height, weight and overall strength are extremely important in the shot-put, and Salah is just right for his stature.
Last summer, while practicing
in England, Salb's weight was up to 300 lbs.
"I really felt pretty good and you couldn't tell that I had gained a lot of confidence," he was just a bit slower, "he said. Kair is married, and he and his wife are engaged."

Marie had entered what her mother had done to two twosies. "Although not explained in depth, apparently kids pull some strange capers during this period," she added.
Even though Salb doesn't participate anymore in football, he has been sent "feeder letters" from the university. He explained that these were merely questionnaires, but did tell them filled most of them out and sent them to his team.
"I don't really think I'll be able to win," he said. "I'm a professional football team." Kara said, "but if I was I might consider it. It doesn't seem too likely."

He said, "I depend on myself.
and I enjoy track because I can see an instant reward. It's all up to me and my success or can be only attributed to myself.

Sailing a Growing Sport at KU
By JIM FORBES

Sailing is a growing hobby and sport in the Midwest. This growth is apparent at the University of Iowa, where a sailing club has been organized.
According to Jim Waters, the organizer and president of the club, the purpose of the club is to give interested sailing enthusiasts an opportunity and to form a team that can compete on a collegiate level.
WATERS, A JUNCTION City junior, talked about the growth and interest of the club and its goals.
"I started working with organizing the club last year," he said. "We're very lucky that we have so many skippers at KU. Right now, 15 members in our club and 15 of these people are on the team."
Waters said that a skipper is someone who has had experience in navigating and racing sail boats.
WATERSSAID that last year the club wasn't large enough to compete as a team with any other team, so he already had two regatta with K-State they won. He said he wrote a letter to Iowa University to explain why October 24 and 25 and it responded by inviting the KU team and told Waters that he brought as many boats as he wanted.
Waters said, "Next year we hope to do more of this type of racing on a national level. Its exciting sporting and its a lot of fun."
Waters said the growth of the sea was actualized by the so-called foot feed reservoir system in this area. He on said the cove sailing and fishing operations had long time. He added sailing has been well established in the big
"Those schools have varity teams and team boats," Waters said.
He said that if the team planned on doing very much in the coming years it is going to be a good group because the group is to need financial help.
"RIGHT NOW WE beg or borrow boats." Waters said. In Lawrence have boats and been real rice "looking in the sky," those people said.
