NEW YEARS EVE CELEBRATION
Hectic semester of hirings, games leaves sports editor's eyes bleary
Saturday, Dec. 30 with COLE TUCKEY
FAST BREAK
And popular Don Fambrouch returned from exile as a fund-raiser to replace Bud Moore as head football coach. Moore was relieved—fired—for being a poor recruiter, a losing coach and an unpopular man with the alumni who feed the sports program.
Tickets available soon!!
It was about 18 weeks ago—as we started putting together the back-to-school sports section—the bags began to form under our guidance, but I think they are etched there permanently.
Two new coaches; Terry Hudsons replaced Stan Narewski on the men's track staff after Narewski left for Furman's greener pastures (and better track facilities).
But bleary eyes or no bleary eyes, it's been an impossibly hectic few months. So much for half of my supposedly memorable days. And a few of the big things that I do remember.
FAMBROUGH, WHOM Moore replaced in 1974, is a jovial man, who reportedly has quieted down most of the screening alumni. The press, coaches, players and others like him, and he ought to be off to a good . . . well, at least to a better . . . start.
Bob Marcum, who likes to be called "Bob", moved in as athletic director. Taciturn Clyde Walker, who didn't like to be called at all, left for North Carolina.
Football equipment manager Larry Trowbridge popped up at practice on
THERE WERE personal disappointments and thrills in the football season, I was disappointed that, after covering Jayhawk football for three years as a correspondent and editor, I was out of the state when Moore was fired.
But then, I won the Kansan's piskinpick'me contest by a game over my associate, Nancy Dressler, Dressler, who had been a campus editor Dan Bowerman by a game.
Legislature and Gov. Robert F. Bennett gave them slim pickin' on the budget.
Halloween dressed as Dracula. Mention of his escapade was made in Sports Illustrated, just before the magazine the pallor of KU's loss to Nebraska.
The field hockey team stretched its budget and advanced as far as the regional tournament. The women's cross country team went to nationals for the first time.
INSIDE SPORTS
Women's basketball, the biggest item in the women's budget, started the season ranked No. 8 in one poll and now are 6-3 and No. 16. Lynette Woodard has been nothing short of awesome, averaging 30.6 points and 15.3 rebounds a game.
The Big Eight didn't turn out exactly as I predicted it would in an early column. Thank goodness I won't lose too many beers in wagers. I picked: Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas State, Oklahoma State. Fate picked: NU,OU,isuMU,CU,KSU,OKU,KU
DIANNA BEERE borrowed money and worked as a custodian to help pay the expenses of her field hockey team after she was fired in 2013, so fund it. Money was tight all over after the

the Kings got Phil Ford. They're winning.
The Chiefs have won four games. That's probably a surprise, but it's a pleasant one. Let's hear it for ancient offenses.
The Royals won their division, Oh, how I would have liked to have been the first Kansan editor to cover a World Series in Kansas City . . .
The rbuphy team, 17.3, was second in the Heart of America tournament, and will cap its finest year with a January tour through Scotland and Ireland.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Duke retained the top spot in The Associated Press Top Twenty college basketball poll, receiving 56 of a possible 60 first-place votes.
But then, men's basketball hasn't been doing so badly, either. Now No. 8 after losing to Kentucky, the Hawks are 4-1. Their season if they play as they did in Lexington, may be the biggest story of the semester to come.
The Blue Devils overcame the slowdown tactics of LaSalle to win their only game of the week 66-42 and improve their record to 50.
Duke holds on as No.1 team
Duke finished with 1,196 points from the nationwide committee of writers and sportswriters.

Introducing Technics Linear Phase bookshell speaker series
Each with staggered speakers, a wide frequency response
and flat amplitude. It may sound complicated, but it made
Technics Linear Phase our biggest idea in speakers.
And now with the 3-way SB-X50, SB-X30 plus the 2-way SB-X10, our biggest idea is small enough for shelf mounting. Like other Technics Line Phase Speakers, they all have the ability to reproduce a musical waveform that it's virtually a mirror image of the original. Our engineers call it waveform fidelity.

Look at the waveforms. If seeing is believing, you've just become a believer in *Technics Lite Phase*. Because that's accuracy that sounds better than good. It sounds five.

saves us extremely complicated. But our engineers found the key. A stall horn on a dome tweeter. It not only improved high frequency dispersion but also saves in the unconverted statement. You can perform we wanted tasks there.
But what more important is what Technic Linear Phase bookshell series does for your life. For the first time you can have the accuracy of Technic Linear Phase in a speaker system small enough for shelf mounting
