Jaynes Tests Passing Arm in Jayhawk Drills
Fambrough Happy with Team; Freshmen Get Special Praise
Happiness is the way to describe Jayhawk football coach Don Fambrogh as the team yesterday concluded its preseason conditioning worksouts without pads.
Fambridge said the 'Hawks had done as much work as possible in the three days' of their search.
"We can accomplish many things before we put pads on," Fambrough said, "and especially get a good look at our new people and see what they can do."
Fambrough said he was extremely pleased with several of the freshmen. Among those mentioned by Fambrough were running backs Lavurce Smith, Wichita, and Calvin Prince, Americus, Ga. He's offensive block Nolan Cromwell, Ransom.
"Prince has just done a great job in the
short time we have been practicing," Fambridge said, "and Cromwell has been a very pleasant surprise in the defensive secondary. Nolan has worked very hard in making the adjustment. He is playing one of the most difficult positions on the field."
In a break from tradition, there isn't a single sophomore on either starting unit. Fambrough wasn't too concerned but instead described it as a healthy situation.
"With upperclassmen on the starting units, it gives the team the necessary experience and leadership that a team needs to make the best part of the season," Farbaugh said.
Since today is the first day of workouts with pads, Fambrigh has decided to use this afternoon's practice to go through the first scrummage-type situation.
Dedicated, interested, thrilled and enthusiasm.
Dykes Active in Backing Jayhawks
By BRETT MARSHALL
Chancellor Archie Dykes fits the mold of each word.
Dykes, although swamped with work in the academic affairs of the University of Kansas, still finds time to involve himself in the area of the athletic program.
"I believe it is the duty of the chancellor to become as active as possible in every area of university affairs. Dykes said, 'I think we need a more comprehensive part of a major school. It takes a good
Dykes said that while the majority of the leadership for the athletic program came from the athletic director, a certain amount must be shown by his office.
relationship between a chancellor and the entire athletic staff and students to make a
"Support from various interested groups and person's also will help to determine the success of an athletic program," Dykes said. "The people of the state must support the program with financial contributions or fundraising to expand and improve. A program cannot succeed only on the revenue from gate receipts of football and basketball games.
"With the spiraling costs of running an athletic program, it is difficult to make ends meet," he said. "There needs to be tighter financial controls and even the skroeketing financial situation."
The chancellor said the NCAA must regulate the number of scholarships awarded by the universities and small colleges.
"One way to clamp down on the schools would be to reach an agreement on recruiting practices," Dykes said. "I think that this is much more important than just too much money being spent."
"The number of grants-in-aid must be equalized in every school so that competition in each sport can be balanced." Dykes said. "This will give the smaller schools a better opportunity to compete with the major universities."
Dykes said that costs must be regulated in every area of an athletic program.
"Most of the revenue for a program comes from gate receipts at football games. Dykes said, 'and if a school gets into trouble, they aren't going to make any profits.'"
Dykes said this is a big reason why many schools have been caught in recruiting
Another reason for the current financial problems is that the athletic program receives no state aid and is independent of all other funding.

"The coach has so much pressure on him to win," Dykes said, "that if he doesn't have the standart athlete and produce a winner in the national championship support from his financial boosters."
While many college administrators are calling for a complete abolishment of scholarships and grants to athletes, Dykes said the situation remain in its present state.
"If scholarships are completely done away with," Dykes said, "this is going to prevent some young person from receiving compensation that he or she desperately wants."
Dykes said that many athlete came to school on the basis of their ability to play a sport and in many cases the individual came from an underprivileged family and
otherwise would be unable to attend college.
"Athletes have made a great contribution to improving the racial situation that has existed in America for so long." Dykes said. "Many of our underprivileged people have risen to fame through collegiate athletics and then gone onto
a successful career. These people are making tremendous strides in the world today and are becoming leaders of the future."
While Dykes admits that he is very interested in the athletic program, he doesn't want to get involved.
