8 Wednesday, September 7, 1977 University Daily Kansas UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Chiefs release Waddell Smith KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Kansas City Chiefs, on the heels of a 24-16 Labor Day setback to the Atlanta Falcons, jugged their roach to reach the 48-power limit yesterday by cutting four players, including former KU wide receiver Waddell Smith putting another on injured reserve and adding vagabond defensive tackle Cliff Frazier. In addition to Smith, the Chiefs waived quarterback Mark Vitall, linemaker Clyde Yorke, an offensive tackle Cornell Walker. Smith was an eighth round pick out of Kansas, Vitall a 10th rounder out of Purdue, Werner a seven-year veteran out of Washington and a free agent out of Canada. Tackle Rod Walters, the Chiefs' top pick out of Iowa in the 1976 draft, was placed into surgery reserve with a knee injury and will be lost for the season. Walters suffered ligament damage to his left knee in the Atlanta game and underwent surgery yesterday. Preston 24, was Kansas City's second round pick out of UCLA in the 1976 draft but was traded during the same preseason to Philadelphia. He injured an ankle there and spent the entire year on injured reserve before being traded to Los Angeles last spring. Frazier, a 6-foot4, 285-pound who can also play defensive end, was cut by the Rams last week and signed with the Chefs as a free agent. The Chiefs, who ranked 27th in the 28-team league against the run last season, have been little improvement on the defensive line during the exhibition season this year as they have allowed an average of 186 yards on the ground in five games. "It's a difficult thing to do," said Kansas City Coach Paul Wiggin about signing Frazier. "We're rolling the dice a little bit when we bring in a guy out of the blue and get rid of a guy who's paid the price. It's a strange thing about this business. It is nonexistent with my value structure to do it." The departure of Vitali leaves the Chiefs with just two quarterbacks. Smith, ironically, caught his first and last passes as a Chief when he pulled in three for 37 vards against Atlanta. Borg withdraws from Open FOREST HILLS, N.Y.-Bjern Borg's dream of adding the U.S. Open Championship to his Wimbledon crown ended yesterday. The top-ranked Borg had to default his match against Dick Stockton when the pain in his right shoulder became unbeable. His decision to quit came on the change of service with Stockton leading, 3,4,6,1-0. Borg tried, but he was not able to perform the way he expects himself. To his servers were soft and easy to return and he could not put an overhead away. Stockton, ranked 10th in the men's singles, was the first quality player to test Borg since the Open began. He now advances to the quarter-finals opposite Harold Solomon. With Borg on the sidelines, the chief contenders for Jimmy Connors' title are Brian Gottfried, Guillermo Vilas and Manuel Orantes. Gottfried, who is seeded third, beat Poland's Wojtek Flinkak, 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. Orantes, the 1975 champion, won a quarter-final berth by defeating 18-year-old John McEnroe of New York, 6-2, 6-3. All the bags aren't out of KU's football machinery, but Head Coach Bud Moore is confident the Jayhawks can do well against powerful Texas A & M Saturday. 'Hawks ironing out bugs "The practices are not going as well as we'd like them to because we want to give our young people a chance to play." Moore said, "yesterday we had a lot of people ready to be by the time our game comes around; we're just trying to get a little death." the lazy individuals have been practicing for more than three weeks and are unmotivated to learn. "I'm sure they're anxious to play," Moore said. "It's been a long time since November 20 of last year, with a lot of practices in between." At yester day's practice, the Jayhawks again spent some time on passing. "WE THREW AND caught the ball very well early in the practice," Moore said. He said Kirby Criswell is the number one tight end for Saturday's game. Criswell, Harry Murphy, Greg Jones and freshman August Kyles have been yining for the job. Another close competition is for the right defensive end spot. Jerry Calovich, a part- "I've got 15 people out for the team and they all look impressed," Beeba said. "There are two people with no experience at golf, but they look like they turn in fine players." Beebe excited about new year With a wealth of returning players, KU field hockey coach Dianna Beeve has been excited about the upcoming season, although the Jayhawks face a tough All but three players are back from a squad that took second in last year's Big Eight Conference race. But even the returning players are experiencing some new wrinkles because Beebe is trying to install a new offense and defense this year. Heebe said the few injuries which had occurred in practice should be healed in time for the first match Saturday against the University of Iowa at Lincoln, Neb. "For now we're just working on fundamentals," Beebe said. "I probably won't have a permanent starting line-up until we've played three or four games." Rodger Moore as James Bond time starter from last year, and Jim Gimson, who competes with a variety last season, who competes for that position. Bill Campbell's knee injury will force Moore to start Max Ediger or Boby Barrow at halftime. Any hopes of Campfield making it big have been dashed. M game was dashed by Moon yesterday. "HE DEFINITELY will not be able to play Saturday." Moore said. "It's going to be close for the next game." KU meets UCLA Seat. 17 in Los Angeles. Moore said that Mike Hibach would do both the扑打 and place-kicking for KU Saturday. Freeman Frank Wattelte has been a big influence may see action in future games, Moore said. Running back kick-offs and扑打 for KU will be Jimmy Lille, Mike Higgins and SEATTLE (pair)—AI Cowens went 5-for-5, including a pair of two-run homers, last night to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 104 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Cowens powers KC to easy win The Royals clobbered five Seattle pitchers for 16 hits in posting their seventh straight triumph. The American League West leaders have won 18 of their last 24 games. Kansas City scored three runs in the first innning when Hal McRae walked, George Bettel delivered an RBI double and Cowens homered. Brett was hit by a pitch before Cowens homered again, then in the third inning he four RB1 run. Cowens season total to 90. Paul Spittler offered only two hits in pitching the first six innings and received credit for his triumph against six Randy Hickeyoney in the loser in his first major league decision.
