By United Press International "There has been an increasing lack of public support that has been the result of several factors," Uehling Although it was Powers' first losing season in his seven years at Missouri, Chancellor Barbara Uehling said the coach had lost fan attention and that he dropped to Missouri games had dropped by more than 20,000 to about 40,000. said at a news conference: "If we be very difficult to turn around the city, then it's going to be hard." Athletic Director Dave Hart, who recommended Powers' dismissal, said he found a general negative feeling about the quality of the program among members of the Alumni Athletic Committee. "The coach's job is a complex one, requiring not only the preparation of the players for the field, but also the responsibility for management of the program, and this includes gener- al support for the team," said Hart. "Warren Powers has worked hard. But because football carries the lion's share within the athletic program, it is necessary to make a change at this time." No successor has been named although the usual names — Dick Vermel, Dan Devine and Howard Holmberger — have been mentioned. Powers had two years remaining on a three-year contract, and Hart said the school would pay off the final two years of the salary, said to be $55,000 a year. The athletic director said the new coach would decide whether to retain the assistants working under Powers. Hart said the administration would try to name the new coach within six weeks.

Steiner races to 7th place makes All-America team By Staff and Wire Reports Kansas cross country runner Brent Steiner placed seventh in the NCAA Division I cross country championships yesterday with a time of 29 minutes, 45 seconds over the course in University Park Pa. Steiner was fifth among the Americans in the race, and by placing among the top 50 Americans, he made the All-America team. "Brent really ran a great race." KU assistant track coach Steve Kueffer said. "At one time in the race he was third. After the first mile he was 30th, but he moved up on the bills." Kueffer said Steiner was sixth coming down the homestretch, but Jim Sapienza, of Dartmouth, nipped him at the wire. "He 'Brent' I had just a little bit of a cold." Kueffer said. "But I think he was very cold." Ed Eyestone of Brigham Young and Cathy Branta of Wisconsin were the individual winners at the meet. Arkansas captured the men's team title with a score of 101 points, while the University of Wisconsin won the women's crown with 62 points. Branta covered the 5,000-meter women's course in 16.15.6, a course record. Eyestone, a senior from Provo, Utah, ran the course in 29:29. "I'm used to running at a little higher altitude," said Eyesett. "So it did feel a little bit different. As far as the rest of my career, I think I would be foolish if I didn't want to stay in running." The women's team championship was a battle between Wisconsin and runner-up Stanford, which scored 89 points. Both schools placed three runners in the top 20 finishers. North Carolina State finished third, while Oregon and Clemson rounded out the top five. On the men's side, Arkansas managed a team championship without placing a runner in the top 10 finishes. David Swain was the top Razorback runner and he finished 14th. Arizona came in second with 111 points, while the University of Tennessee placed third, followed by Wisconsin and Virginia. Weather forecasters had called for an accumulation of two to four inches of snow by race time, but conditions were fair with only a slight dusting of snow on the course. The temperature was 34 degrees.
