Page 14 University Daily Kansan, October 2, 1981 Lack of betting line no indication of Indians' skill The Fish and Louie don't even have it. Frantic calls to several of the finest makers of book in New Jersey proved future—the line is long. But it doesn't appear on the Garden State's boards. The absence of a line on a ballgame—a televised one at that—usually indicates the game is unworthy of attention—that one or both of the teams is a dog. In this case, it's just one—the Indians. But this dog's bite may be worse than its bark. THE ARKANSAS STATE Indians are an underdog to KU in tomorrow's 11:30 a.m. Parent's Day contest in Memorial Stadium. But they also are ranked fifth in the nation in rushing, due mainly to the offense that undefeated Kansas sees almost too often—the The Indians, 2-1, have carried the ball 202 times for 974 yards, or 4.8 yards a tote. They've tallied seven touchdowns and averaged 324.7 yards a game on the ground. Not that their opponents have been curtains of steel. The Indians opened against Northeastern Louisiana, then faced Richmond at home. They upset Central Michigan last Saturday on the road in the closing minutes, to end the Chippewas' 13-game winning streak at But all those yards! KU Head Coach Don Fambrough is not putting much stock in the "WE'RE SUPPOSED to beat them by 100 points, I hear," Fambrough said. "There's no talking about it, because no one seems to believe that Arkansas State is no do." lightness of Arkansas State's schedule you don't get to be No. 5, even running against practice dummies unless you're pretty ancient. Arkansas State, a member of the Southland Conference, gets its wishbone prowess from a veteran of the Chuck Fairbanks/Barry Switzer Offense, commonly known as Oklahoma. Head Coach Larry Lacewell joined the Sooner staff in 1969 as defensive end coach under Fairbanks. In 1970, he became defensive coordinator, and was named assistant head coach to Switzer in 1973. He joined the Indians' staff in 1978 as a volunteer and became head coach that same year. In 1979, he was named athletic director. If Lacewell absorbed even a small amount of Sooner wishbone expertise, the Indians offense could be awesome. The Sooner wishbone leads the country in rushing offense this season, averaging 6.6 yards a carry and 380 yards a game on the ground. Not surprisingly, a team like the Indians, geared to a ground attack, spent this week against the Broncos. "OUR QUARTERBACKS are throwing the ball well, and our receivers are doing a good job with it when they catch it." Lacewell said, who has worked with the team important, and especially this week. We did well kicking the ball last week against Central Michigan, but our coverage was a little off and our return teams were a little sluggish. We hope to show some improvement this week." Indian place kicker Scott McDonald, a 6-foot-1, 165-pound freshman, is one reason for Lacey's optimism. McDonald, third in the team, has no goal percentages, has made 6 of 8 attempts. But Kansas, too, has a talented kicker, punter Bucky Scribner, who is fifth in the nation this week in punting, with a 4.17 yard average after 24 kicks. Scribner has been called up to kick more than any of the other leaders except one. from Cal State Fullerton. Kicking is as bright a spot for the Jayhawks as penalties have been a bleak one. Last week against Kentucky, Kansas amassed six penalties for 111 yards. In the season opener against Tulsa, KU was penalized eight times for 98 yards. "THERE WERE SOME penalties I'd never heard of," Fambrough said after the Kentucky game. "I'd never seen so many penalties, but there was a distributed. It was a sloppy football game." Injuries, too, plague the Jayhawks. Three players, Ray Evans, David Lawrence and Kewlin Bell, sustained knee injuries in the first half of the season. In the second season, Lawrence may be back this year. Bell will undergo corrective surgery tomorrow in Los Angeles. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Robert Kerlan, the team doctor of the Los Angeles Rams. "We've had some of the top orthopedic people around looking at Kerwin's knee and they all agreed that surgery offered the best option for us," said Barrham. "We are as good as new next season." Barrham could be. SAFETY ROBERT GENTRY will remain in the spot vacated by Foote when he was injured, and Garfield Treek, who rushed 25 times for a creek, will replace Kwin Bell in KU's backfield. Safety Roger Foote and defensive end Carky Alexander will return for KU. Foote has been out since the Tulsa opener with a strained shoulder all three games in first three games with a sprained ankle. Offensive guard John Prater, who aggravated an old knee injury in the Kentucky game, will sit out and Paul Farchild, a high school player from Iowa, Junior College, will take Prater's place. And Dino Bell, young brother of Kerwin, will be added to the KU backfield. Fambrough said he was pleased at Bell's adjustment from default position, where he previously played. "He's come along fast, and I expected him to," Fambrouch said. "He's a good athlete and a very intelligent one. He picked it up very good." "It went much better," he said. "We had good concentration. I'll sure sleep better to watch." Fambridge was also pleased with yesterday's practice. JAYHAWK NOTES: The KU-Arkansas State game will be telecast by 25 affiliates of ABC-TV in seven states. Game time has been moved to 10 a.m. The telecast will be Chris Lincoln and Bob Beattie. Sophomore tailback Kerwin Bell sits on the Jayhawk bench after suffering a knee injury against Kentucky. Bell will undergo corrective surgery tomorrow in Los Angeles to repair torn ligaments. Dr. Robert Kerlan, Los Angeles Orthopedic surgeon and Los Angeles Rams team doctor, will perform the surgery. etc. Baseball Tomorrow **American League** Baltimore 5, Detroit 4, 10 innings Kansas City at Cleveland, ppd., rain Nebraska 7, Houston 8, Cincinnati 1 San Francisco 4, Atlanta 2 Pittsburgh 3, Pittsburgh 2 San Diego 1, Los Angeles 9 New York 2, Chicago 2 included 8% innings, rain **DREW GAMES** OSUv WSU, 11a.

Pitching machine prepares Jayhawks for doubleheader The Kansas baseball team will get a chance to see it if made a good investment in a pitching machine when they play Johnson County Community College Sunday at 1 p.m. at Quigley University. The pitching machine was purchased to give the batters more experience in breaking ballbats. "BASICALLY, WE felt that our players are good fastball hitters," assistant coach Skip James said. "They have trouble with breaking the ball, and when they're going to have learn to how hit. "The machine can throw good curves all the time. It's easier for the hitters to correct their lines." The Jayhawks also have worked on hit-and-run tactics and base running to help to score more runs. KU has been averaging about four runs a game. "We don't have a lot of power," James said. "We have good team speed, so we'll hit and run and steal some. We'll take advantage of any situation." In the first game of last weekend's doubleheader with Kansas City Kansas Community College, the Jayhawks came close to leaving the bases loaded without getting a run. Two pop-ups aimed ended the inning, but an error by a Kansas City outfielder permitted three Jayhawks to score. Kansas won that game and won the second game, 24, to win the series. The coaching staff will be looking for players who will help them in key situations, such as the hit and run. "It's a learning experience to find out who can handle the bat." JATens said. "If the player can't handle it, he might die." "We've got a lot of young, nervous players." James saeth 's once we get a lot of game-experienced players. Besides being nervous, the Jayhawks have had a lot of problems in their first eight games. "We need to spend more time on fundaments," James said. learn now, and next spring we don't have to spend the time. We're not sure how much time we'll have in the spring because of the weather.
