Test Score Irregularities
Key Basketball Player Ineligible
By DAN GEORGE Kansan Sports Editor
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Wednesday declared University of Kansas basketball player Travis Haskins for intercollegiate competition during the fall semester of 1972.
The declaration followed an earlier private NCAA directive to KU to declare Knight ineligible, which was a result of irregularities in a score achieved by Knight on a national college
The action was one of two taken
by the NCAA in relation to KU. The attackers also believed that prohibited the KU track team to participate in the NCAA games.
EXPECTED to start at center for the Jayhawks this season, Knight will stl out the first seven of his Hisiellness expires Dec. 22.
In spite of his unilogibility,
however, Knight, who has been
working since the team drills
baseball, still continues to
practice with the squad.
Knight, a 6-foot-10 sophomore,
is a former prep All-American
from Hutchinson. He was scholastically ineligible to play last season for the Jayhawks, who NCAA grade point qualification
KNIGHT had taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) before he enrolled in but failed the test. He recorded the test score in his attempt to quality for eligibility. As a result, he was unable and forfeited his SAT.
The NCAA, taking into account Knight's renunciation of the second term, required his period of ineligibility to the first semester of his sophomore year.

Success
It's another goal for the KU women's field hockey team in its 7-0 win over Washburn Thursday. The game, played on the hockey field east of Robinson,
was the fifth win of the season for the KU women. Only one tie marches their record. In the game Mary Bissler scored three goals for KU and Diane Atha made two, Martie Frost and Penny Paulson each scored. The team plays in an invitational tournament on Friday at Graeceland College in Lamioni, Iowa.
Track Ruling Welcomed
Christmas came two months early for the University of Kansas track team but Bob Kline, for one, is not complaining.
"I'm most appreciative of the whole thing." Timmons said Thursday, "and really surprised."

turned it down.
The track coach's surprise stemmed mainly from the fact that KU requests for an appeal against the ruling, separate councils of the NCAA.
"THE INFRACTIONS com-
mittee of the NCAA reviewed the appeal and turned it down," he said. "The committee in Knoxville, Tenn., also commits in Knoxville, Tenn."
"Then for some reason it was brought up again and Wade (Sinsom KU athletic director) was offered a opportunity to present the case."
Timmons said the appeal had been made because the school book was deemed to be inappropriate to the infractions related to the KU athletic teams as a whole, not the players.
"For instance, in the case of Sam Goldberg and the $10 shoes," he said. "I think they saw that it was not done as an extra benefit but was just an effort to goldberg conform to the team."
ONE OF THE NCAA charges that was Timmsd had bought a pair of shoes for Goldberg, the coaches concerning athletic assistance.
Timmons said he was glad that Stinson had gone to the meeting instead of himself.
"I honestly feel the appeal
couldn't have been better prepared than he was. He was so close to the thing. If I had gone, I probably have shown it. But he looked like he was a bit nervous.
Timmons said he was also grateful to Douglas County Attorney Jerry Lawyer Doneilly and Kansas City, Mo., lawyer DJ Haitkibr for aiding the Athletic Department with the support of his friends. Attorney Charles Oldfather and John Eberhardt, chairman of the athletic board, he added, supporter on how to submit the appeal.
THE COACH said that members of the team were happy about the removal of the ban.
"One of the team's primary goals was to compete in the final round," he said. "When you take that goal away, well, you really hurt the team."
KU Chancellor Raymond Nichols issued this statement concerning the NCAA ruling:
"I very much regret the fact that the NCAA has directed the University to declare Danny Kempert to serve on coverteglale athletics, even though it is only for the first semester of his sophomore year. I think he will be a Johnson family and my contacts with him, as well as everything I am told about him, confirm the fact that we have a fine offspring of that fine family.
KU basketball coach Ted Owens was visibly upset over the ruling and said he thought it was an unjust penalty.
"I know Danny will take that punishment in stride. I know, too, that the University community
League Champs Decided
"UNDER THE extreme pressures of today's recruiting, he regretted the mistake, he took the responsible position of admitting that mistake and doing what he did to come to KU on his own, without financial aid and unable to practice or compete as a freshman, and thus the honor roll in his first semester. Notwithstanding all this, the NCAA saw fit to punish him with a semester of instability.
"THERE were some regularities in his use of the decision. But he made decision not to use the test to help him qualify and lost his opportunity."
The announcement was made jointly in the name of Samuel E. Barnes, secretary-treasurer of the NCAA, and by Charles Neinas, chairman of the NCAA International Relations Commission Conference commissioner, at a Thursday news conference here.
