46 turn out at meeting for j.v. b-ball

The park-hallers are moving up to the big time.
46 men are trading in their torn up T-shirts and hours of playing pick up ball for the chance to don a KU jersey and play in Allen Field House.
They attended the organizational meeting last night at Allen Field House for the first junior varsity basketball team at KU since the early 1970s.
They were told by Coach John Calipari that if they wanted to be on the team, they would have to sacrifice their time and themselves
Calipari said they would have to have a good attitude, give good effort, have good athletic ability and be mentally tough. They also would have to be able to put in around three hours a night and keep up with their school work.
"You are at the University of Kansas to get an education, not to play junior varsity basketball." Calipari told the gathering.
The actual tryouts begin Monday at 7 p.m. One group will come to 7 and another at 8. The same schedule will apply Tuesday, the last day of tryouts.
Callipari said at the meeting that he expects to keep about 12 players after Tuesday, but that the number could fluctuate.
Graduate assistant coach Tom Butler said the coaches were pleased with the turnout.
"We expected about 40 guys, and we had around 40," Butter said.
After the meeting, a few of the y
after headed for the court and began to
go home.
One of the prospects, Marcus Guein, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said he would be playing three hours of basketball a day for a junior variety team was formed or not.
"I have to be active doing something," Guen said. "I play three to four hours per night. I play to keep in shape and because I love the game."
Jim Page, Spring Hill junior, is trying out for the team after playing at Johnson High.
"When I was at Pit I got it by a car and I had to layout of school for a year." Pages said, "I am finally back in good shape so decided to give it a try."

The 'Hawks' helping hand
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
As the game film rolled on the screen, KU defensive line coach Vic Eurnont kept up a steady stream of commentary on the action taking place before him. The man beside him didn't have much to say.
Not that Bud Carson, now a RU volunteer assistant coach, is afraid to offer his opinion. His willingness to do so probably cost him his leadership asordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs in August.
Despite a glittering coaching record, Carson was forced to resign by Chiefs' head coach John Mackovic because of what Carson said at the time was his refusal to accept all of Mackovic's decisions without question.
With two weeks left before the start of the regular season, no National Football League team was looking for an assistant, so Carson was left hanging.
Carson said he was confident he could land a job with an NPL team next season. In the moment, Carson will be lending a helping hand to the coaching staff wherever he may be needed.
"Mainly, it is a matter of me sitting around doing nothing, and this is something to keep my hands in it since John and I had our parting of ways," Carson said. "Right
now, it's a matter of looking at films and helping out in the press box, just getting acquainted so that maybe down the line I can be a factor."
Head football coach Mike Gottfred enlisted Carson's ad through quarterback coach Bob Valesente, who coached with Carson on the 1962 Baltimore Colts staff.
Carson mines no words when comparing Gotttied's coaching style to Mackovic's.
"They're exact opposites, you can put it that way," he said. "Mike's a heck of a football coach. Most of the outstanding football coaches I've loved and I love him are them, have been like him. He uses everybody, and I think that's what makes a great head man."
Carson has been an assistant for 12 years in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Rams, Colts and Chiefs. During his 1972-1977 stay at Pittsburgh, he coached on two teams that won the Super Bowl He won the Super Bowl while he was with the Rams.
After such a long stint in the pros, Carson said it's taking some time for him to make the transition back to the college game. He played at Georgia Tech before he joined the Steele.
Bevacqua makes up for blunder as Padres win game two of Series
"In college football you have more versatility from week to week," he said. "You really have to adjust each week."
By United Press International
SAN DIEGO — Kurt Bevaquon, Tuesday night's game, became last night's hero by belting the three-run homer in the fifth inning, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers and squaring the World Series at one game apiece.
After a travel day, for the best of seven series shifts to Detroit for the third game tomorrow night, beginning at 7:35 p.m. Tim Lollar will kick off at San Diego and Willex will put it on trial.
second baseman Lou Whitaker.
Bevacqua book the Padres out of a potentially big innning Tuesday night when he was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple in the seventh innning.
He aloned his mistake last night by crushing an 0.4 pitch from losing pitcher Dan Patry over the field fence following a strikeout in the eighth single by Terry Kernedy off the shoulder of
As he ran the bases, Bevacqua blew kisses to the crowd of 57,911, who gave the designated hitter a standing ovation. It was only the second homer of the season for Bevacqua — his previous one coming as a pinch-hitter.
Moved up to sixth in the batting order by Manager Dick Williams, the 37-year-old journeyman had three hits. He now has four hits in the first seven World Series at bats of his 14 major league years. He batted only 80 times during the regular season.
Sharing the spotlight with Bevacqua were relievers Andy Hawkins and Craig Lefferts, who combined to hold the Tigers to only two hits over the last 8½ innings.
Hawkins, the winning pitcher, took over for starter Ed Whiston in the first innning after the Tigers scored three runs. He allowed just 15 hits and nine innings while facing the minimum 16 batters.
Leferts came into the game in the seventh
Leferts the Tigers to one hit over the last
three innings and earned the save
Lefferts struck out five batters. During the last 80 innings, the Tigers did not get a runner past first base and hit only four balls out of the infield.
In post season play, Hawkins has allowed only two hits in 11% of relief of Lefferts has given up only two hits in seven innings. The Padres batters has pitched 21 conceivableless innings since the fourth game of the National League playoffs against Chicago.
Whitaker hit the first pitch of the game for a single to center. Alan Tramrell followed with a hit and run single to left that sent Whitaker to third. Kirk Gibson singled to center on the first pitch to him, searing Whitaker with the first run.
Gibson stole second and Lance Parrish followed with a sacrifice fly that scored Trammell and sent Gibson to third. Gibson hit the ball over the head of shortstop Garry Templeton.
Minor injuries hit wide receiver corps
By the Kansan staff
The defensive line hasn't been the only trouble spot for injuries on the football team this year. The wide receivers have also had their share of injury problems.
Starting wide receiver Richard Estell, who's caught 16 passes so far this season and leads the team in receiving yardage, missed practice yesterday because of a brushed shoulder suffered while catching a pass in Tuesday's practice. He coach Doug Wheeler does not know whether Estell will play Saturday against Kansas State.
Reserve wide receiver Chuck Eanes, who also returns punts for the Jayhawks, practiced in shorts yesterday. He has a hip and his status for Saturday is also uncertain.
Offensive tackle Doug Certain, who has an ankle bruise, practiced for the first time this week and will probably play Saturday.
