KU Track Ban Removed
The National College Athletic Association (NCAA) Wednesday lifted the probabilistic sanctions on the University of Kansas track team, thus permanently banning it in NCAA championship meets.
"We're just tickled to death"
"There is nothing else. Timms and Wednesday night."
"I'm really surprised. And I'm"
"just as surprised. The team are just"
"as plates as I am."
An 18-member council, the NCAA's policy-making body removed the ban during meetings
in knoxville, Tenn. KU had been placed on probation all year in August for recruiting violations, but had appealed the council's decision. The sanctions on KU were reversed in June, and still apply through next August.
The council, according to a wire story, also voted at Wednesday's meeting to put three other schools on probation and reprimanded another for recruiting recruiting and other rules.
Placed on probation were the University of California at
Berkley, California State University at Sacramento and North Carolina State. St. John's University of Jamaica, N.Y., was reprimanded
California was penalized for a series of violations, the most severe of which the former football assistants had arranged for two prospective players, withdrawn with fresh grades from college. California State was set down for using ineligible track equipment. The team was found guilty of basketball's
Amundson, Strachan Lead Powerful Cyclone Attack
By BRETT MARSHALL
Kansas Sports Writer
The Iowa State Cyclones will blow into Memorial Stadium this Saturday. They won't be trying to cause a storm but only by taking full custody of Kansas Jayhawks' football losing streak to three games.
Cyclone head coach Johnny Majors and his crew are currently sporting a nifty 41-1 season record. They have rolled over Colorado State, Utah and Oklahoma, by scores of 41.0, 44.0 and 31.0.
The only defeat for Iowa State came at the hands of sixth-round winner DeAndre Buckle. Builder two weeks ago. The Cyclones are coming off a 55-22 trouncing of Kansas State last week in Iowa. Iowa State is rated bottom in the rankings.
Iowa State possesses many individual players who could be candidates for postseason honors.
THE LEADING choice and probably the most versatile player is quarterback George Amundson.
At 8'3", 215 pounds, the senior Amundson has the size and weight necessary for a quarterback to play major college
football. Amundson is the Big Eight total offense leader, averaging over 210 yards a game.
Amundson's versatility is illustrated by the fact that a year ago he was playing back and forth on his records. He set records for most carries in a season, 287, most carries in a game, 33, most touchdowns in a game and a season, 41, most rushing in a season, 1,316
this season he has surpassed two school career records. He holds the career marks for touchdowns and scoring, 28 TDs and 186 points. Every time he crosses the line he adds to these totals.
Perhaps the most surprising layer thus far for the Cyclones is that they have 190 pounds, the speedy and 190 pounds, the speedy leads the conference in rushing.
He has ground out 677 yards on
107 carries for a 6.3 average.
Strachan is averaging 135,4 cereal

Although Moses is showing his true form, he may find it very difficult to push Stracan out of a starting position.
The Cyclones have a veteran

The Cyclones are third in conference statistics in total score, with an average of 444.6 yards per game. The ground attack is pounding out an average of 270.8 yards, and the rushing attack is hitting for a 173.8 average.

KU Athletic director Wade Simson, a member of the NCAA committee and said the KU appeal was based on the fact that the earlier decision had not isolated the concern concerning the different teams.
"THEY WEED" lumped together," he said. "Certain things looked like they applied to all sports when they did not."
Stinson said that he had discussed all three KU teams under probation when he made his appeal.
"But in basketball and football, one of the infractions, which occurred two years ago, was very clear. If they were Eight had penalized us, the council decided that the team should stand in those sports."
THEERE WERE six majoriolations for which KU wassenalized:
"A charge that Timmons gave one of his athletes, Sam Goldberg, $10 to buy a pair of shoes
"A charge that KU football and basketball players received discounts tickets to local movie theaters.
A charge that an athlete's wife was given transport from Kansas City to Lawrence by an athletic department member
A charge that a high school teacher in Kansas City airport to the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City Mo., to see the Big Eight
— A charge that former football teammates aime erroneously declared two players eligible under the NCAA's 18-year-old法令, which falsify their school rankings.
—A charge that a member of the Alumni Association flew a football prospect to Lawrence.
Although the sanctions prohibiting the track team from competing in the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships have been removed, the squad is still expected to be reviewed in August by the NCAA with those of the football and basketball teams.
Marshall Rodgers Ready To Prove Self to Others
By DON PFANNENSTIEL
Kansan Snorts Writer
"You have to be like Jo Jo White to play at Kansas."
"You're not good enough to play KU basketball."
These were some of the crises of St. Louis persons when they met that Marshall Rodgers was enrolling at the University of Kansas.
But it was just this negative reaction from his hometown friends that influenced Rodgers, who in the middle guard, to come to KU.
"People in St. Louis said I would never start at Kansas because I was not good enough to play at a school with an up-to-date program. I want to prove to them I can play here," Rodgers said.
Besides being an all-state team, the St. Louis was a track standout at Summer High in St. Louis and was offered track scholarships from such clubs as USC.
But the Jayhawk track program also persuaded Rodgers to attend KU. Rodgers, who broad jumps and triple jumps, said he was impressed by the KU players in both basketball and track.
with an average of 24.2, said he was not completely satisfied with his performance, especially the second half of the season.
RODGERS, WHO last season led the freshman team in scoring
"I got out of shape with the long
layoff over the holidays and when
I came back I couldn't shoot as
well. My percentage was off." he said.
"I prefer the fast break because it gets the crowd going and that, in turn, makes the team play," Rodgers said.
Rodgers, who said he liked a fast-breaking team, said KU coach Ted Owens wanted the Teds this year, but with more control.
This season the Big Eight Conference will use the 30-second clock, which means a shot must be before a half-minute elapses.
Rodgers was overwhelmed when he heard the conference was using the clock.
"I don't look the slow-down offense," he said. "The slower the style, the worse I play. I like o' play from reaction."
LAST SEASON, besides being the fresh leading scooter, Rodgers set the fans stirring many times with his ball-hawking and steals.
"It is something you just take advantage of when there might be faulty ball handling or a high dribble. he said, "but if I
going to make a steal, I have to make sure I get the ball because the coaches like a solid defense."
Last season, KU had its first losing record, 11-15, in eight years. Rodgers said because of his success with the team, willing to put out more effort.
"The year the big men will help us inside, he said. "On defense they will try to help us in the game (guards) will try to help them."
Because of the probation invoked on the 'Hawks by the NCAA, KU will not participate in any postseason competition this April first hearing about the penalty. Hodgson said, he was shocked.
"HOWEVER, I tried to put it out of my mind because I knew it was something I had to accept, and I knew that the regular season," he said.
Rodgers said that the freshman team schedule, which is usually made of junior college teams and other freshmen teams, was not a major factor in this year he wants to himself against the tougher teams.
"I'm going to be ready for anybody. No matter who we play I want to be ready for them and if they are ready, this season it is to start every game."
