Hannah returns, still wants ov*
FOXBORO, Mass.-All-Pro guard John Hannah was reported yesterday as saying he wanted to be traded by the New England Patriots at the end of the season.
Hannan and All-Pri linemen Leon Gray showed up for a two-hour practice yesterday, their first since they walked out on the Patriots Sept. 11 in a contract
The two players agreed to return Tuesday in exchange for a promise from the Patriots that their contracts would be renegotiated at the end of the 1977 season. HANNHA, AN All-America at Alabama, now in his fifth season with New England, refused to attend a post-practice news conference. But a WBZ-TV sports reporter later quoted Hannah on the station's evening newscast as saving he wanted to leave the team.
Patriots coach and general manager Chuck Fairbanks told reporters he would use both Hannah and Gray in Sunday's game against Seattle at Schafer
"They worked fine in the practice today and it was a pretty good, brisk pace and it was a little bit longer than usual. They're going to play and there'a a good time."
Watson, three others advance
VIRGINIA WATER, England—Tom Watson scored on 2 and 1 victory over Taiwan's Hainan in America's through the first 36-hole round of the $250,000 World Cup.
"It wasn't a masterpiece, but it got the job done," Watson said. His credentials made him the world's top player this year.
"He hit a lot more good shots than I did. I just lucked out," he said.
PGA champion Lanny Kray, Ray Floyd and Ikel Irwin also scored first round victories. The only American loser was U.S. Open champ Hubert Green.

Irvin content being 'doctor death'
Leroy Irvin came to the University of Kansas with the hope of becoming the next Laverne Smith. Now he is content playing the role of "doctor death."
Irvain gained more than 2,500 yards rushing in his three-year high school career at Glen Hills High School in Atlanta, Ga. (AP) When he was switched to the defensive secondary.
"Everybody who's switched from running back misses it," Irvain said. "Running back is the glory position, and who doesn't like glory? But I'm happy at defensible posts."
The 5-foot, 180-pound showroom showed steady improvement last year as a freshman cornerback and then exploded against Missouri's junior varsity in his only junior
Ivrin has been a starter since that interception. He was switched from cornerback to free safety at the start of this season and has responded with 53 tackles, the highest on the team. And he also has earned the nickname "doctor death."
"The nickname caught on last year." Irvin said. "I like it. I like to of myself as the 'doctor of death.' I operate on the offense. Of course, there are more doctors in the secondary, and Tom Fitch really is a doctor."
"That was a big thrill," irwin said. "But I was in the house and then their feet came around me, the ball hit."
IRVIN ASSISTED on 10 tackles, intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble. His first varsity start was against the Wildcats, but his first varsity pass against the Wildcats.
**IRVIN CREDITS** cornerbacka Caleb
and Wayne Rike for much of his
success.
"Rowe and Wicks taught me how to play defensive back, along with coach White and coach Woods," Irvin said. "Caleb taught me to back up, you know, keep my shoulders down and all. And Wayne taught me how to cover man-to-man."
"Our defensive scheme calls for the linemen and the linebackers to jam up the middle and force the play wide." Irvin said. "We should be there to safety, safety should be there to make the tackle."
But Irvin also said KU's defense is built for the safe safety. He has 18 tackles too many.
Jack White, defensive secondary coach, agrees that the free safety should make a lot of tackles but that not everybody could play the position.
But the free safety position has its disadvantages, especially for Irvin. Weighing only 185 pounds, Irvin is expected to tackle running backs that are a lot bigger than he is. One result is a lot of nagging from the defense. He's been on the injury list and currently he is a questionable starter for Saturday's game with the University of Miami.
"LEROY MAKES a lot of tackles; it's part of our defensive scheme," White said. "It's built for the free safety so you put your best athlete there."
'Hawks' practice moved indoors
"I'm small and if you hit a lot of bigger players, you get hurt." Irvin said. "But it
The Kansas Jayhawks lost again yesterday- this time to the weather.
Yesterday's day and coolness forced the Jawhays to work out in Allen Field House.
Bud Moore, head football coach, said yesterday. "We were going outside despite the weather, but several players are suffering from colds."
The Jayhawks worked on their game plan and knitting game. The defense spent most of the session, while the team made mations the University of Miami probably will use against KU when the teams meet
"I think we got something out of it because we were able to do a lot of
teaching," Moore said. "It was a good learning session offensively."
"the players worry about running into the bleachers after they catch a pass or a pitchout." Moore said. "It's not like being a bad pitcher, but doing the same thing and more outside."
MOORE SAID practicing indoors was a disadvantage because players felt they were confined and could not run at full speed.
The Jayhawks did receive some good news, however. Only David Verser and Leroy Irwin are considered double starters for the Hawks, who missed practice Monday because of injuries.
Verser, who has been alternating at wide receiver with Rodney Olson, is suffering from bruised ribs. Irvin, the starting safety, has a sprained ankle.
"We got all our injured people back but Verser and Irvin," Moore said. "It's very doubtful that Verser will make the trip and very questionable whether Irwin will play."

doesn't bother me because if I'm not hurt,
I know I'm not hitting people."
Despite his leading KU in tackles, Irvin is not completely happy with his performance.
"I THINK I've played well at times, but I've also made some mistakes at crucial times," he said. "In the OU game, their first two touchdowns were my fault."
White said Irwin had played well at times but was not playing up to his full potential.
"Leroy is like an oil well, pumps 8 barrels of a day when he should be
pumping 100," White said. "You're happy with the 85 bottles, but you want that 100."
Barring injuries, Irvin should end up with more than 100 tackles this season. That should make him an All Big Eight candidate, but Irvin said he didn't worry about
"If I play good, the team knows it and that's enough for me," Irvin said. "I just want to play in a bowl game and be on national television."
The "doctor of death" on television—it could be an interesting show.
Volleyball team combines spikes, returns for win
The KU volleyball team used a combination of spikes and off-speed returns to down Central Missouri State University last night in Robinson Gymnasium.
"They all count the same," KU coach Bob Stanciflank said the same scores. "Central Missouri's played the same defense we used last year and after a while the girls started remembering where the open spots were going to be."
The Jayhawks were bolstered by the return to action of Debbie Kuhn, Atchison senior, who took command of the match. She returned to the lineup after being sidelined for nearly a month with strained knee ligaments.
The Jawhays took the best three-out-of-five match by scores of 15-4, 18-5, 10-15, and 15-7. In preliminary action the KU junior varsity won its match 15-7, 13-1
"DEBBIE HAD one of the better matches she's had in the two years I've been here," Stanclift said, "She did the best job of securing the off-speed shots and hitting the goaltender."
Stanliff also had praise for Nancy Owens and Julie Snoodgrass, both Lawrence Anderson.
Stancliff also experimented successfully with June Koleber in the back line on defense. Koleber, Lawrence sophomore, is one of the in previous games spiking in the front line.
"They both played important roles in both matches," Stancliff said. "Nancy hit a lot of short shots and seemed to know where the open spots were. Julie did a great job of setting in the junior varsity game, and since she was out on the off night, I let her do it in the varsity match."
The move paid off and Koleber made several important saves.
"JUNE HAS always been one of our most aggressive players, and her defense has improved quite a bit," Stancillid said. "I left them in my office, but we needier more aggressive play."
Koleber is not renowned for her serving, but central Missouri seemed to have trouble with it. In the third game, the Jayhawks trailed 10-8 when Koleber started serving. By the time she finished, they held a 13-10 lead.
"THEY WERE the best serving team we've faced." Stancliff said. "They were all hard, low trajectory serves that are hard to handle."
