Skiers want to change image Club to compete at Nationals
By JAN BOUTTE Sports Writer
The KU water ski club team leaves for California tonight, where they hope to shed their wetsuits and ski in warm sunshine at the Intercollegiate National Championships in Sacramento.
Fourteen members of the water ski club will represent KU as the Midwest regional champions. They won their spot in the national championships by winning their regional last May in Decatur, III.
This will be KU's second trip to three-year-old national tournament. Last year they placed sixth.
BRYAN ADRIANCE, president of the ski club, said that he would be a team can field a full entry in each of the three events or for men's skiing.
The teams are allowed to enter five men and five women in trick skiing, slalom and jump events. Most of the KU skiers are from Germany.
The KU club is at a disadvantage because their ski season is shorter and practice facilities are scarce in Kansas.
Bryan and his brother Kyle, who organized the ski club, said they expected to finish in the top half at the tournament, but said they wouldn't commit themselves to a specific place.
This fall, the team has been able to use the new facilities east of Lawrence, just off Highway 10. The Mo-Kan Ski Club, to which five of the Jayhawk skiers belong, has allowed the team to practice there during the day.
Before this year, the team had to travel to Emporia for the nearest slalom course and jump ramp. They practiced trick
Besides being closer, the K-10 practice location has the advantage of being more visible to KU students. The team has gained members who never knew there was a ski team at KU.
"WE'RE GETTING more people coming in that have a little experience in competition," said Bryan Adriance, who attributed the doubling of their membership in part to the new practice facilities.
Members of the team have skied every day since school
started, but Adriance said the season would close with the end of October.
Besides stretching the season into late fall, Bryan and Kyle use oil burners to melt the ice and begin skiing in early March, when they brave the cold with the protection of wetsuits.
But Southern and Western schools have no such weather problems, and as a result dominate the sport.
"They have people who skip circles around a lot of us," said Brandon del Fortiano. "But it's more important to have a full circle."
NO ONE SKIER can win a tournament for teens. Adrance compared the scoring team to the third track. He made two points in the world record, his first-place points count no more than any other first-place finish, and are still only ten points higher than the second-place points
But individual standouts do count. New to the team this year is Kelly Hill, this year's American Water skier, who has earned a special jacket has been the top woman skier for the team, and Kelly's performance balances the women's and men's points.
The KU team had a chance to compete against last year's national champions, Northeast Louisiana, at an Oklahoma State tournament in late September. They finished second, but Bryant was the winner. They were satisfied because the rest did not was far behind.
In the Southern schools, water skiing is an established sport, complete with scholarships, coaches and school counselors.
"That's why we're so excited about beating some of those schools, because we're on our own," Bryan Adrian said.
THIS YEAR, the Student Senate alloted $500 to the ski club. The money enabled the club to sponsor its own tournament two weeks ago.
From revenue generated by the tournament, and profits from the sale of T-shirts at the summer AWSA tournaments, the ski club was able to cover the extra costs for these events. Foot the bill for the $50 plane ticket and their expenses while in Sacramento.
But the members of the ski club are addicted. They have done nearly every short of moving to Florida to pursue their sport, and now are on their way to California to put Kansas on the ski map.

Big Ten coaches want rule change
CHICAGO (UPI)--Two Big Ten conference football coaches yesterday called on the National Collegiate Athletic Association Rules Committee to move back kickoffs in college football five yards to the 35-yard line, similar to the National Football League.
Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler and Purdue Coach Jim Young said the NCAA should move the kickoffs from the 3S to the 3S to allow for more runbacks.
Yankees, Dodgers win championship openers
By United Press International
NEW YORK -CRAig Nettles, who was 1-4 for 17 in the mini playoffs, laced a three-run double in the first innning and owner George Steinbrenner contributed controversy from the stands last night, sparking the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory. A'is in the opening game of the American League Championship Series.
Nettles 'opposite-field shot backed the combined six-hit pitch of Tommy John, Ron Davis and Rich Gossage, with his a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series.
Game 2 is scheduled for today, with
Sandy Hunt returning to the A's and
Rudy May for New York.
Mike Norris, victimized by his own control problems, took the loss in a game that featured some of the fireworks that can erupt in any confrontation between Oakland Manager Billy Martin and Steinbrenner.
The controversy erupted in the top of the eighth, with one out, Dwayne Murphy at first, a 1-and-2 count on Cliff Johnson, and umpine Nick Bremigan behind the plate. The dispute appeared to center on either Johnson's bat or the length of time it took him to get set in the box.
The argument brought Martin from the Oakland dugout, Nettles in from third base, and Yankees' Manager Bob Lemon from his dugout. It also shook up Davis, who walked Johnson and then departed in favor of Gossage. Gossage has now saved all four Yankees' post-season victories.
Steinbrenner joined in the controversy from his upstairs box,
criticizing the uniring crew.
Los Angeles 5. Montreal 1
"You couldn't believe that they could lose control of the ballgame," he said. Oakland finally broke through in the fifth, when Rob Piccioni singled. Henderson received credit for a double when shortstop Milbourne displayed a catchable grounder and Murphy grounded out to score Piccioni.
LOS ANGELES—Pedro Guerrero and Mike Scioscia bludgeoned the Montreal Expos with back-to-back eighth-inning home runs yesterday, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their Dodge Stadium series with a 5-1 triumph in the first game of the National League Championship Series.
Ron Cey, batting for the first time since Sept. 9, doubled home a second-inning run and scored on a squeeze bunt by Bill Russell to give the Dodgers an early 2-1 lead against Bill Gullickson, but it was an eighth-inning rally against Montreal's top reliever Jeff Reardon that sparked the Dodgers to their 19th victory in the last 20 games against the Expos at Dodger Stadium.
Reardon got the first two batters he faced in the eighth, but Cey singled and Guerrero followed with a home run to the right. He made another cornerer to right for the final Dodgers' run.
Burt Hooton blanked the Expos for 7 1/3 innings to get the victory, with Steve howling Los Angeles out of a minning jam after the Expos had their own run on back-to-back doubles by Gary Carter and Larry Parrish.
