Board Awards Big 8 Honors To KU, Jaynes The biggest disappointment was the Colorado Buffaloes' poor season. KANAS CITY, Mo. (AP—The University of Kansas was the surprise team of the Big Eight Conference in the 1973 football season. A 20-member board from the Big Eight area made the selections yesterday. The board named Barry Switzer of Oklahoma the coach of the year, KU's All-America quarterback Dave Jaynes and the offensive player of the year and All-America middle guard Lucius Selman of Oklahoma the defensive player. Both players are seniors. KU just slipped past Oklahoma as the No. 1 surprise. The Jayhawks, with Jaynes passing brilliantly all season, ran up a 7-3 mark and earned a berth in the Liberty Bowl. The 'Hawks tied Nebraska for second place in the conference race. Colorado, with its record of 5-6, ran away with the voting as the biggest disappointment. Iowa State, 4-7, was the only team to get a vote. Switzer, in his first season as head coach, and with the Sooners starting a two-year probation, guided Oklahoma to a 10-1-1 record. The Sooners' Eight title and is ranked second nationally. Switzer beat out KU coach Don Fam- bours and eyelash. No other coach received a vote. Jaynes, edging Oklahoma's Joe Washington in the voting, led the league in passing and total offense. He found targets 172 time on 330 tosses for 2.131 vards and 13 touchdowns and had only nine passes intercepted. Okla. Governor To Seek Lifting Of OU Blackout OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Gov. David Hall of Oklahoma plans to go to Kansas City today to ask Big Eight conference faculty representatives and athletic directors to lift the two-year television ban imposed on the University of Oklahoma football team. The Sooners were forbid to accept a bowl invitation for the 1973 and 1974 seasons and were barred from television for the 1974 season seasons because of recruiting violations. Ed Hardy, Hall's press secretary, said the governor didn't object to the Big Eight exercising its right to discipline its member of staff. They helped them from post-season bowl games. "But we do dispute the arbitrary right of the Big Eight to remove the team from television and from the view of the tax-paying citizens of this state," he said. Pepper Moves Back To Old Alma Mater ATLANTA (AP)--Georgia Tech named UCLA football coach Pepper Rodgers yesterday to succeed Bill Fulcher as Yellow Jacket head football coach. A Tech spokesman said the appointment was recommended by Athletic Director Bobby Dodd and was unanimously accepted by the athletic board. Rodgers, a 1954 Tech graduate, accepted the appointment by long distance telephone services. "Pepper is the most colorful and enthusiastic coach I know of in the United States and he said: "I feel we are very fortunate to have him return home to Georgia Tech." Indiana, playing a tough man-to-man defense, forced the "Hawks into 18 turnovers in the first half and effectively shut off KU's inside game. in the win against Kentucky, KU got 61 points from its front court, but against the Hossiers the 'Hawks' big men scored only 24. Forced to shoot from the outside, the Hawks got 10 points from junior guard Dale Greenlee of Caledonia, III., but couldn't have the Hosiers 1-21 in field goal shooting. Particularly hot for Indiana was 6-foot-7 junior forward Steve Green, who led all scorers with a career high of 22 points. He had plenty of help from sophomore forward Scott May and Tom Abernathy. May scored 14, and Abernathy had 13 points, as the Hoosiers were able to take the ball inside on the KU defense.

He was in the right place at that time, and he is still doing great relations, a big part of any SID's success. Although Dob Baker's birthday isn't for another week, he's already received a nice present: the jobs at the University of Kansas Sports Information Director (SID). There was little surprise at the announcement two weeks ago. After all, Baker had practically the credentials one could ask for. He was a KU graduate, worked as assistant sports information director and manager at the Boston Seating SID since Jack Cherry last May. "I think I'm the youngest information director in the Big Eight," he said, "and I could be the youngest in the country, at least for a major university." Baker graduated with a B.S. degree in journalism in 1971 after serving as Kansas sports editor his senior year. He began graduate school, but was offered the assistant sports information director job in August, 1972. He served on promotions director in August, 1972, a position he officially held until his appointment as permanent SID last week. But when Baker, a native of Dodge City, celebrates his birthday, he'll be only 25 Baker had served as acting SID since May of this year. He said he thought that he got that job, as well as the permanent SID job, because he was close to the KU athletic scope. "I'd worked in the SID office for two years and I was pretty close to Jack (Cherry)," he said. "I think I was chosen because I knew more about the ins and outs of the job because I had been working in the office longer than anyone else." "It's good to have contacts with the major writers in the cities we visit and obviously I haven't had enough time to have those yet," Baker said. "I don't know as many of the people I'd like to know yet. But I haven't had anyone yet." He says most Media media people who the visiting SID is, at least by name, so I really haven't had any problem yet." Baker described his work as "a detail work" that includes the trips he makes to perform his duties. Baker said his age hadn't been a detritus to his job so far. "I get together with the media people and advance the upcoming game with them," Baker said. "I give film clips to the team so they can be available for interviews. I do pretty much the same thing with the radio people. I give newspaper reporters information on the team, including press books, statistics—which they can use to advance the game." "My job is basically geared to two objectives: to inform the media and help them prepare for the game and to sell tickets to the games. I think that I'm trying to do promote KU sports," But that's not all of Baker's job. The little "details" still need to be taken care of. "I take care of some of the business affairs of the team," he said. "That includes taking care of accommodations for the team as well as the traveling arrange- football season so far this year, he emphasized that the job was a year round "At Kansas, we do more on the basketball season as far as promoting it than most other schools do because we ve fielded good teams in the past," Baker said. "And in the spring we host one of the largest track and field meets in the world, the KU Relays." "The summer isn't a vacation time for this department either. We have our regular ambassador tour, which lasts from June 1 until about August 10. We cover all four corners of the state at least once, making sure we get to see and handle. We've got to put together football pressbooks, recruiting pressbooks and start on the basketball book. "I know that I'm fairly young for a job such as this," Baker said, "but I took the job because I felt very good about the opportunity." Bowl Foes Exchange Compliments The coaches made the comments in a telephone interview by writers in Raleigh, N.C., and Lawrence. North Carolina State football coach Jim Liberty in Memphis Dec. 17. Lou Holtz, head football coach at North Carolina State yesterday praised the University of Kansas Jayhawks as "an exceptionally fine football team," and KU's Chris Taylor described them as "a beautiful Carolina State's Wolfpack a team that could play with any队 in the nation." "We aren't a good pass-ruish team." Holtz said. "We're even thinking of around injury." "We're still looking for our first win against a Big Eight team," Holtz said. "We know that the Big Eight has the best competitive football in America. That's one reason we wanted a Big Eight team—it would be a game big in esteem." Holtz said the Wolfpack could move the ball well offensively, especially on the ball. Holtz said North Carolina State used a 8-2- 4 defense similar to the one used by KU and UMC. "On offseme, I believe we have one of the finest running backfields in America," he said. "I don't believe, though, that we've been able to throw the ball as well as we should. We don't fumble or be intercepted much. We just get a lot of penalties." He termed KU's passing attack as "one of the best pass offensives we've ever faced." Holtz said North Carolina State had been inconsistent on offense and defense most of the time, but it was a positive up the big plays. He said the Wolfpack kicking game was "woefully weak." This brought a laugh from Fambrough whose own placekicking game with their own placekicking game. Fambrough said the 'Hawks' biggest improvement this year had come in their defensive play. In response to questions from reporters in Raleigh, Fambrough said his team has scored this year, particularly that of Dave Jaynes, KU's All-America quarterback. "On defense we've improved our ability to get the ball on turnovers," Fambrough said, "which gave us a chance to put more points on the scoreboard. "Jaynes has been blessed with three fine receivers in Adams, Edwards and Saathoff. But Jaynes also has improved his signature pass-rate. He calls him call 90 per cent of the offensive plays." Fambrough said it naturally was a unaspontion for him to trophy (he finished fourth), but he said he thought the disappointment couldn't hurt Jaynes' or the team's confidence. "I think it's a great honor to be considered for the Heisman," Fambrigh said. "I'm just very proud to have had a player considered for the honor." Sayers Remarries Gale Sayers, assistant to the athletic director and a former University of Kansas and Chicago Bears football star, was remarried last Saturday. A representative of the KU athletic department said yesterday that Sayers had been married in a simple ceremony to Artie McCormick, president of the Watkins Memorial Hospital. Sayers' divorce from his first wife, Linda Sayers, became final in Illinois last month. remaining and scored 11 points to cut the 10th margin to 13, the closest KU could be at 7.9. It would be 7.9 if KU were remaining. The game marked the schools' fifth meeting and KU's fifth loss to Indiana, including a 72-55 defeat last year in Lawrence. KU's next game will be against Northern Iowa at 7:35 p.m. Saturday in Allen Field House.
