Foote, Hoag, Alexander out
'Hawks nurse Tulsa wounds

The Oregon Ducks are ranked No. 1 in the Bottom Ten this week, but Head Coach Don Fambrough is far from happy about it.
"We need to prepare mentally as much as anything else," he said after yesterday's workout. "They'll come in here mad and embarrassed because of Saturday's unsuccess."
OREGON LOST to Fresno State, 23-16, which should ruffle a few Duck feathers.
"After having played them last year, I feel they will be one of our tougher non-league games," he said. "They are similar to Tulsa in many ways. They are an aggressive defensive force and have a wide open style of offense where they utilize their quarterback's running and throwing."
The potent Oregon offense, led by junior quarterback Kevin Lusk and senior fullback Vince Williams, will face an injury-depleted Kansas defense.
Free safety Roger Foote, whose interception-turned-touchdown won the Tulsa game Saturday, will miss the Oregon contest because of a strained knee. Defensive end Chuck Hoag has knocked Carke's practices because of the flu, and follow end Carryk Alexander is still nursing an ankle injury.
"CHUCK HOAG has missed workout all the time," he admitted said. "I have to say he's out. He'd be happy to work with you."
Offensive guard David Lawrence and wide receiver Bassin Pastin practiced yesterday after sitting out of Tuesday's practice with injuries confirmed that Lawrence would start Saturday.
Fambroble said that Gary Luster would probably replace Foote in the defensivegesetz.
"Luster is still sore from his rib injury."
"He can't play in the game, also play and left Cobb might play as well."
Fambrough said that, although he was not especially pleased with yesterday's workout, he thought the pace would pick up at the end of the week.
"It wasn't a bad practice and it wasn't good." Fambrrough said. "We've got to pick it up. We were feeling sorry for ourselves because it was warm."

preseason scrummage, was released Tuesday from Lawrence Memorial. Evans was released earlier, then re-admitted after a blood clot developed. He will sit out the entire season.
Head Coach Jim Dickey announced Tuesday the Kansas State would redshift some of its best playoff team.
Dickey will redshift eight seniors, including seven starters: offensive linemen Amos Donaldson and Dug Hoppock; defensive lineman Wade Wentling and Mike Simeta; center fielder Randy Reed and defensive back Jim Morris. The other senior being held out is reserve fullback Pete Brown.
Colorado senior quarterback Scott Kingdom has quit the Buffalo squad, apparently over a dispute with Coach Chuck Fairbanks about the amount of practice time he was receiving. Sophomore Randy Essington moves into the No. 1 spot.
KU's weekend opponent, Oregon, is picked by
as Vegan oddsmakers as a +1 point favorite over
the Pac-12.
KU's sole possession of the top spot in the Big Eight Conference probably will come to an end this weekend, when all the conference schools play except Oklahoma State. Oklahoma hosts Wyoming at Norman, Nebraska travels to Iowa City to face Iowa, Missouri meets Army in Columbia, Kansas State tangles with South Dakota in Manhattan, Iowa state squares off against West Texas State in Ames and Colorado hosts Texas Tech.
Missouri is a 21-point favorite over Army, according to the Vegas line. Nebraska is favored
Oregon fullback Vince Williams had to pass a test to regain eligibility this season. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound senior carried the ball 43 times for 205 yards last season, a 4.8 yard average. Williams missed the Ducks contest against Fresno State because of his eligibility problems.
The KU-Oregon clash is the second between the two schools. The Jayhawks and the Ducks battled to a 7-7 tie in Eugene last year.
Halfback Delvin Williams, who starred for the San Francisco 49ers in the early 1970s, may be one of the greatest players in football.
The 49ers gave Williams, a former KU running back, a tryout in camp this week. Williams was traded from San Francisco to Miami, where he played out in 1978, but he was cut this summer.
With Paul Hofer having problems returning after last year's knee surgery, the 48ers are in need of help.
Offensive guard David Lawrence resists near the end of the Tula game last Saturday. Lawrence and several other Jahayhaws suffered minor injuries at Tulsa.

KU and Olympi swimmer Ron Neugent has impressed Gary Kempf with both his swimming and his attitude.
Olympian sets goals, example for KU team
By JIM SMALL

Ren Noleun had nothing special planned after the race when he stepped to the starting block for the 15,000-meter freestyle race at last month's Olympic swim Championship in Milwaukee.
But less than 24 hours after the race finished,
reuigent, Wichita sopported a board of
registers.
BY VIRTUE OF A third place finish in the race, the last event on the final day of the meet. Neugent earned a spot on the U.S. national team after playing eventually against a Soviet national team in Kiev.
"He brings to us a tremendous amount of
Genkelp said, 'Hon's an Olympian and
that just is.
"I DIDN'T FEEL that the program (at SMU) was right for me," he said. "There was no variation in the workouts; they weren't helping me with my individual medley. I wasn't happy there. Bill was a big reason why I transferred to KU."
Neugent, a member of the 1980 Olympic team, will bring his international experience to Gary Kempf and the KU swim team for the 1981-82 season.
"I wanted to go to Russia," Neugent said. "I knew that there would be a second team that would be at home."
Neugent sat out last year after transferring to KU from Southern Methodist. The reason for the success of his campaign was
Former KU swimming bill Call Spahn was Neugent's AAU coach from age 12 to 17. Spahn resigned as KU coach this summer to take a similar position at New Mexico.
Neugent broke into the national limelight at an early age.
In 1978, just after he graduated from Wichita East High School, Neugen earned a spot on the
U. S. national team that dued the Canadian national team in Montreal, Neugent won the 15,000 freestyle and finished second in the 400 individual medley
A year later Neugent won the 15,000 freestyle at the World University Games in Mexico City.
"YEAH, I TOUGH it was foolish (for the team not to compete)," he said. "There was no reason for it. It didn't help anything. The Russians are still in Afghanistan."
The fact that the United States boycotted the Olympics angered Neugent.
But it was last year that Neugent hit his stride. A third-place finish in the 150,000 freestyle earned him a medal.
'In his actions and the way he handles himself, he deserves a great deal of respect.'
—Gary Kempf
"I could see that if the government paid for our training, then they could say that our team can't go. But they don't pay a cent. It's too bad because a lot of people won't make it for "84."
"He is an excellent example of the student athlete and he gets along with everyone." Kempi said. "With all the success that Ron has had, it was easy for him to be cocky. But he is very humble."
Despite his accomplishments in Milwaukee and Kiev, Neugent said he was not pleased with his job.
Neugent seldom shows such anger, according to Kempt.
"My times were slower this summer than they were last summer," he said. "I was not happy with this summer. But I was thrilled to make the Soviet duel meet team."
NEUGENT SAID that the Soviet meet, which the U.S. won 203-141 and where Neugent finished fourth in the 15,000 freestyle, taught him a lot about himself and the United States.
"Going there really makes you appreciate the "Going there," he said. "Most people don't know how."
"We would be walking down the street and these shady types in the black market would ask us how much we wanted for our shirts and jeans," he said. "A 'U.S.A.' T-shirt would go for about $40 and a pair of Levis would go for about $100. But it didn't do you much good because there's not a whole lot that you want to buy in Russia."
Jeans and T-shirts were a premium during the Russian visit. Neuwert said
"THE POOL was packed every night of the meet," he said. "There were about 4,000 people and the thing is, when they would open the doors, it would be a huge party. That was something I never seen before."
One of the most interesting aspects of the Soviet trip was the interest the Russians showed to them.
Neugent said that the U.S. national team had an average age of 17 years for women and 20
"My little brother, Todd, is starting to come out. 'Neugen said.' He is only 18, in a year after he went to college."
"In his actions and the way he handles himself, he deserves a great deal of respect," Kempf said in what about Hon. that is he has goals that he wants to achieve. I hope that rubs off on the others on this team."
Ron, whose brother Roger was a standout swimmer at KU in the mid-1970s, said that another Neugent was following in the footsteps of his two older brothers.
Perhaps the best way that Neugent can help the KU swimming program is by setting an environment where you are encouraged to

Volleyball team to face MU
Buoyed by a decisive victory over Tusla last Saturday, the KU volleyball team opens the Big Eight season tonight against Missouri at Allen Field House.
The team enters the match against Missouri with a victory over the offense-oriented Tulsa team under its belt. KU tipped Tulsa, 15-8, 15-7 and 15-10 on Tulsa's home court.
Last year the Jayhawks were victorious in three of the five matches against Missouri and placed fourth in the Big Eight, one spot ahead of the Tigers.
"I was pleased with the team's showing, especially with their defensive play," said Coach
Lockwood said that by thwarting the Tulsa defense, the defense played a decisive role in the vickery.
