Eligibility requirements may be postponed till'88
KANSAS CITY, Mo - The National College Athletic Association has a year to consider an NCAA Council recommendation to postpone the use of SAT and ACT test scores as a freshman eligibility requirement to play for a Division 1 school.
The NCAA has a full year to decide whether the use of the test scores should be postponed, said Jack Davis, NCAA Director. The NCAA is State University faculty representative.
The council's recommendation, announced Wednesday following three days of meetings in Kansas City, would delay the reopening of the campus from Aug. 1, 1986 to Aug. 1, 1988.
The legislation approved at the 1983 NCAA convention states that freshman athletes would need either one of the test scores and a 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale in a core-curriculum of 11 courses to be eligible for an athletic scholarship and play their freshman year at a Division I school.
Hagler defends crown tonight
NEW YORK — “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler will defend his world middleweight title tonight against the No. 1 contender, Mustafa Farnham, in a scheduled 15-round fight at Madison Square Garden. The bout, held on October 29, will be a Box Office, is scheduled to begin at 9:30.
Hagler, who was born in Newark, N.J. and later moved to Brockton, Mass., is 59-2. Tonight's fight will be his first in the Garden.
He has defended his title successfully against Hamsho once before. Hagler won on an 11th-round technical knockout, and then lost with 55 strikes to close the cut in his face.
Hamsho, 30, is the same age as Hagler.
His record is 32-8-2; he lost his first pro fight, and his only other loss was to Hagler.
Hagler has not lost since 1976 and is unbeaten in his last 34 fights. He is 33-0-1 during that span. He won the title by knocking out Alan Minter in three rounds in September 1980 and has made nine title defenses.
McNamara succeeds Houk
BOSTON — John McNamara, former manager of four major league teams, yesterday succeeded Ralph Houk as manager of the Boston Red Sox.
MnMaraura led the California Angels the past two years but announced his retirement when his contract ran out. He then signed a contract with the Red Sox. No salary was announced.
"When he resigned he called us the next day." Red Sox general manager Lou Gorman said. "Up until the World Series we had never talked with him."
Gorman denied there were previous discussions of the job between McNamara and the Red Sox, who are partly owned by Bill O'Reilly, a close friend of McNamara.
McNamara, 52, has managed for 11 years in the majors with a record of 72.
Houk, 65, retired after four years with Boston.
Chiefs pick up nose tackle
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran nose tackle Mike Dawson as a free agent and added him to the team's active roster.
The Chiefs yesterday also placed linebacker John Zamberlin on the injured reserve list, keeping the active roster at an annual Football League's limit of 49 players.
The 6-foot-3, 254-pound Dawson has played nine years in the NFL, with the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Lions. He was the Cardinals' first-round draft choice in 1976 and has been a starting defensive lineman throughout most of his pro-career.
He started 84 of the 88 games he played with St. Louis before being traded to the Lions along with a third-round draft pick, change for Al Baker prior to the 1983 season.
Dawson, 31, started seven of the 16 games in his only season with Detroit, then was released before the 1984 regular season.
Padres pitching coach canned
SAN DIEGO — San Diego Paures pitching coach Norm Sherm says the club has informed him that his contract will not be renewed for a fourth season.
Sherry, 53, said he had been offered another job in the Padres organization.
"They told me I won't be back. it was a shock to me." Sherry said. "When you were here, I didn't know.
"I thought I did a good job. Evidently it wasn't good enough. They said they wanted to make a change because I wasn't smart to communicate with some of the pitchers."
The General Manager Jack McKeen said the Padres had not picked a replacement for Phillip
He said the dismal showing of San Diego's starting rotation in the World Series had nothing to do with the decision not to rehire Sherry.
McKeon said that he had talked with Manager Dick Williams and Club President Ballard Smith. All agreed that it was in the best interest of the organization to make a change in pitching coaches because of conflicts on the pitching staff.

Jayhawks face rugged O-State tomorrow
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
As if things haven't been tough enough for the KU football team so far, the Jayhawks will face what head coach Mike Gottfried calls the best team the Jayhawks have played to date tomorrow.
The Jayhawks, 2-4 this season, will take on 4-1 Oklahoma State at 1:30 p.m. at Lewis Stadium in Stillwater The Cowboys are nationally by United Press International
The Cowboys return eight starters on both offense and defense from last year's squad that finished 8-4, including a Bluebonnet Bowl victory over Bavlar.
THE COWBOYS ARE most noted for their ball-hawking defense. They led the nation in interceptions and turnover margin last year. The Cowboys hold this margin this year and have picked off 14 passes.
Strong safety Rod Brown, with five interceptions, and corner Mark Moore, with four interceptions, rank second and third in the nation in that category respectively. Free safety Adam Hinds, last year's interceptions leader, has picked off three passes.
Helping set up those interceptions is a strong corp of linebackers and defensive lineman, led by Matt Monger and Leslie O'Neal. Linebacker Monger ranks second in the conference behind KU's Willie Pless in tackles. O'Neal leads the conference's defensive linemen in tackles.
Gottfried said the Jayhawks can't afford to triv and play the Cowboys head up tomorrow.

lations before last week's Kansas State game. He hasn't indicated that he's in any burry to reinstate them.
"We've put in a few more formations, but we're still running the same plays," he said.
"Once the season gets underway you can't change your offense. We're just trying to get some people to different parts of the field. I don't think we've got enough, haven't got very many healthy receivers."
Converted quarterback Tom Quince, who saw his first action at wide receiver last week and caught two passes, will probably see more playing time this week. Goffett said.
OKLAHOMA STATE, who had an open date last week, is coming off a 17.3 loss to eight-ranked Nebraska Head Coach Pat Tolens and having little trouble recovering from the loss.
"Obviously our players weren't pleased with the loss, but there wasn't anybody around here hang-dogging or anything," he said. "Nobody was harping on it. Everybody just went about their own business afterwards."
Jones is in his first head coaching job after succeeding Jimmy Johnson, who left for the University of Miami head coaching job in June. Although the Cowboys are throwing and running the option more, Jones said their attack hasn't changed too much.
The Cowboys boost the third leading rusher in the conference in tailback Shawn Jones. He's gained 499 yards this year. His backups Thompson and Jurman. Thomas have gained 217 and 252 yards.
Quarterback and positive-thinking exponent Rusty Hilger, the most valuable player in last year's Bluebonnet Bowl, ranks fourth in the conference in total offence.

Rozier's actions provide new excuse for KU fans
For fifteen years, Kansas football fans have been searching for a valid excuse to defend their team's drubbings at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Since 1968, the 'Huskers have defeated the Jayhawks in 15 straight games by a combined score of 647-105. After most of the 54-0 or 52-0 slaughters, Jayhawk fans were left with the old "NU is the only major

college in Nebraska." *excuse*, or the standard "college football defeat* in pickleball game.*
It's time to write the epiphant for those worn out old excuses. A new excuse champion has been crowned, but it can only be used when making excuses for last year's game.
Write this down, and remember it when the Big Red Machine rolls into town on Friday when the tankers had a professional player on their team last year when they defeated KU 67.13
In a tape recorded interview with a Sports Illustrated staff writer, Rozier said this week that he hired an agent before the 1983 season and struck a deal with the Pittsburgh Maulers of the United States Football League before the 1984 Orange Bowl game.
And that's not the important part. The important part is that the 'pro' was derived from 'pro'.
But the facts never surfaced, and NCAA rules also say that unless the college knew that Rozier had signed with an agent or pro team, there is no penalty.
Rozier reportedly received four payments of $600 a month from the agent. If Rozier's actions had been discovered during the attack, he would have beinelgible under NCAA rules.
Rozier rushed for 285 yards on 31 carries and scored four touchdowns against the Jayhawks. Not a small contribution to the earlier cause, and not a bad day — even for a pro.
That's fine for the NCAA, but under Jayhawk football fan rules, post-game KU excuse makers can now declare last year's Nebraska victory null and void.
"Nobody ever offered me nothing in my life, so I thought I might as well take it," he said. "Guy wants to live comfortable. They don't want to live in no shack. They want a nice car."
Nevertheless, it will still be a valuable weapon in the excuse arsenal of KU fans just in case the Jayhawks don't pull off the November 10 to defeating the 'Huskers.
Commendable ambitions for any young college student, but Rozier should not have jazparidized his teammates chances for a leadership by sponsorship with an agent before the聘.
Volleyball team faces Missouri
Unfortunately for Jayhawk excuse makers, Roxier's confession came too late to be effectively used as a post-game weapon last year.
A good match is in store for the vowel team when it hosts Missouri at 8 tonight in Allen Field House, head coach Bob Lockwood said.
Lockwood said he was encouraged about tonight's match because Missouri was defeated by underdog Iowa State earlier in the season.
What was Rozier's excuse for accepting the money? He needed it.
Fortunately for the 'huskers, his blunder was not discovered until the season had long passed.
"That was encouraging," Lockwood said, Iowa State plays with enthusiasm and intensity. "It really was fun."
front line players."
"We are hoping to take some of the things we did right against Nebraska and apply them to Missouri." Lockwood said. "We are concentrating on stopping their middle attacks, which is an area Missouri is pretty strong in."
Tennis match at Topeka pits KU against Shockers
By MIKE BRENNAN
Sports Writer
A change of scenery is in store for the men's tennis team today when it faces the Wichita State Shockers in Topika.
This will be the first time that the team has played at the Wood Valley Racquet Club. The team will be indoors after playing most of the fall season outdoors.
Coach Scott Perelman took his team to Alvarmar Club last night to get the team reacquainted with the indoor surroundings.
"It is not a problem but it is a little bit of a change," said Pereiman. "The courts are."
The Jayhawks and the Shockers will be meeting for the first time this season. Both teams were at the Oklahoma State Institution, but they did not play each other.
Wichita State has been ranked in the top 20 nationally for the past seven seasons and has qualified for the NCAA tournament in four of those seasons. The Shockers have also won the Missouri Valley conference title seven years in a row.
The Shockers graduated two of their top players from last year's team, but Perelman is not taking them lightly.

Stearns, who hails from Topeka and grew up playing tennis at Wood Valley, will be playing in front of a hometown crowd.
"It's just another match," Stearns said. "Right now, going into it, I should win the match, but not necessarily easily. I look forward to it. I enjoy playing here."
Center, from Manhattan, said he's also ready to play at Wood Valley.
Ry CHRIST LAZZARINO
Nigel O'Rourke, a Wichita State alumnus and director of tennis as an associate manager at Wichita State, will match on annual event. He's promoting the match all over Toppea.
"Right now they have the tradition," Perelman said. "All the way down the line I like to think that we have the edge. I think we have to have to go in there and play awfully well
"I know quite a few people in Topka," Center said. "We have a good chance to beat WSU. It is a real good opportunity to get some recognition."
Mike Wolf will again be playing No. 1 singles for the Jayhawks. Wolf will also play No. 1 doubles with Michael Center, KU's No. 2 singles player Charles Searlers, Larry Pascal, Dave Brody and Dave Owens round up the singles ladder. No. 2 doubles will be Stearns and Pascal Greg Brown and Owens will play in the third doubles spot.
The fall softball season came to a close yesterday, ending what head coach Bob Stancliff considered to be a successful season finishing 17-3.
Fall softball season ends
The season officially ended when a rained out game with Kansas State University couldn't be played Wednesday or yesterday.
"I was pleased with the team's progress in the things we set out to do." Stancliff said. "We improved team defense, and the team had a lot of depth, which gave lot of people a chance to play. I gained a lot of confidence in them. They all played more than one position."
The team swept a doubleheader Sunday
outscoring Barton County Community Col-

The Jayhawks also played nine, fivewinning scrimmages against Kansas State and Johnson County Community College, finishing with a record of 7-0-2.
Welcome surprises for Stancht were the recovery of his pitchers from early season
Tracy Bunge came into the season with a lower leg hairline fracture, which occurred while playing summer softball. Bunge was
the team's only pitcher for the early part of the season while Kim Tisdale was out.
Tisdale strained the muscles and ligaments on the outside of her left knee early in the season after pitching every day during the summer.
"Tracy made remarkable progress"
Stancliff said. "She pitched strong and came back fast. Kim was a very pleasant surprise. She has an overuse injury from workouts. She comes in adorable for recovery and won seven straight, and six of those were shutouts."

different types of pitchers." Stancliff said.
Stancliff said the team's performances against the better teams this fall were encouraging.
"We played against some good Division I teams." Stanclift said. "We competed well and it really was a boost to our confidence."
Tisdale said she did not expect her comeback from her injury to be as successful.
"I was really rather surprised," Tadiah said. "When it happened, I thought for sure that was the end of the fall season for me. But when it came when I came back, I didn't have any losses.
