Battered Jayhawks take on North Carolina
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
Something has to give tomorrow when Kansas meets North Carolina in Chapei Hill.
Both teams are young and both are frustrated, KU, I-2, is coming off consecutive lopsided losses to undefeated teams, Florida State and Vanderbilt.
North Carolina, who has gone to a bowl game the past five years, blew a lead against Navy in its season opener and was defeated, 33-30. Last week, the Tar Heels absorbed a 56-20 pounding at the hands of Boston College, ranked seventh by United Press International.
WHILE BOTH TEAMS have taken their licks the past two weeks, the Jayhawks are considerably the worse for wear. KU may have as many as six starters out of tomorrow's game because of injuries.
Nose guard Pat Kelley, offensive guard Chip Schuler and wide receiver Johnny Holloway won't make the trip to Chapel Hill. Wide receivers Skip Peele and Richard Estell and fullback Mark Henderson will make the trip but are doubtful to play.
Kelley's replacement, Mitch Gaffen, suffered a knee injury earlier this week and is out for the year, so the nose guard spot will be manned tomorrow by freshman Von Lacey and junior college transfer Jay Hager.
"WE'LL STILL BE THROWING
If Estell and Peete can't play, C.J. Eanes and Jeff Long will start at the wide receiver spots. Schuler, suffering from lower back pains, will be replaced by Paul Swenson.
the ball," he said. "C.J. Eanes and Jeff Long are very capable."
KU didn't score a touchdown in last week's 41-6 loss to Vanderbilt, the first time that has happened in Gottfried's two years at KU. Besides shuffling players because of injuries, Gottfried has made two additional moves to bolster the offense.
Anderson said Gottfried told him he was needed on offense to help establish the running game, and also provide an additional receiving threat.
First, he opened up the starting quarterback position previously held by Mike Norseth. Both Norseth and Mike Orth ran at the No. 1 spot this week. Gotfried said he wouldn't make a decision on who would start until sometime today.
Gotfried also moved defensive lineman Jeff Anderson over to tight end, where he played last year.
"THE OTHER TEAMS WEREN'T
really keying on our tight end that much," he said.
Most of the time tomorrow, Anderson will be lining up against outside linebacker Micah Moon, a pregame USA America choice by many publications.
"I'm looking forward to it," he said. "I think I can really do a good job against him, being as he 6 and 12 and I'm 6 and 230. It should be good."
"He's a good football player."
Gottfried said of Moon. "The thing is,
he runs so well and covers the whole
field. We're going to have to throw
some different formations at them
and try to isolate certain positions."
MOON IS ONE OF ONLY four returning starters on North Carolina's defense, but Gottfried said the team has "have a solid defensive unit in time."
especially tailback Ethan Horton, a 6-foot-4, 218-pound senior. He led the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing last year with 1,107 yards.
North Carolina has five returning starters on offense, including most of the players at the skill positions
"The whole key is if they run him at us and try to batter us with him, we've got to hold him to a few yards each time." Gottfried said. "They'll probably try to run him continually at us and try to lull us to sleep, then slip in a couple of passes."
"They're both good and they're both capable." Gottfred said. "The first one they put in knows he's under the gun when he's in there. He's under pressure and he knows he has to do a good job."
ranging the ball off to horton will be either sophomore Kevin Anthony or redshirt freshman Mark Maye.
North Carolina has another capable runner in fullback Lee Colson. He gained 425 yards last year and his blocking figures largely in Horton's success.
Volleyballers will defend tourney title

Sports Writer
Setter Beth Vivian has high expectations for the tournament as well.
Head coach Bob Lockwood said the Jayhawks are looking for nothing but victories at Tulsa.
"We are defending champs, and we intend to repeat." Lockwood said. "We have only beaten Oral Roberts and that is what it will be three after Saturday."
"I think we are the favorite," Vivian said. "This weekend will be the turning point in our season."
The volleyball team travels to Tulsa, Okla., today to defend its title in the Tulsa Tournament today and tomorrow.
Lockwood said he was looking forward to the match against Oklahoma City. The Jayhawks played Oklahoma City at the season opening Early Bird Invitational in Lawrence.
KU defeated Oklahoma City in four games, 15-13, 15-13, 15-10 and 15-12 for their only victory of the season.
The Jayhawks are coming off a loss to Missouri Wednesday in Columbia. The victory was Missouri's first in Big Eight conference play. KU fell to 0-4 in the conference. The Tigers took the match in three
The Tigers took the match in three straight games, 15-8, 15-3, 15-12
KU will play Tulsa at 6 tonight and Wichita State at 8. Tomorrow they will play Oral Roberts at 11 a.m. and Oklahoma City in the afternoon. The tournament is a round robin affair.
Lockwood said the team's attacking was greatly improved against Missouri, and their percentage of errors dropped considerably.
Women's Invitational starts today
Vivian said she considered their performance against Missouri to be their best of the year.
Jule Ester, Susan Rupf and Judy Desch led the team with five kills and one error each.
Jan Hunt, normally a setter,
played the front line against MU, and
registered four kills and two errors
Tammy Hill had six attacks and
three kills.

If it rains today, either the meet will be canceled, or Perelman will resort to plan two.
Tennis coach Scott Perelman will be hoping for dry weather today and tomorrow for the Women's Invitational on the Robinson Center tennis courts.
"The courts at Alvamar are all booked up," he said. "If it rains we'll wait and wait and wait and even play at night if we have to."
The tennis team's courts behind Allen Field House are being refurbished, and have not been available this fall. Perelman said that work on the courts would be finished next week.
Kansas State and Southwest Missouri State will face the Jayhawks in the invitational, which Perelman will use as a means of looking at the new faces on his squad.
Barbara Inman will play No. 1
"THIS IS THE kind of weekend that I'm going to try some different things," he said. "It's an opportunity to see some of our younger kids."
otten. But Perelman is not taking them lightly.
Although the Jayhawks play Kansas State many times during the year, Southwest Missouri State is a team they don't face very
singles for the Jayhawks, replacing Tracy Trepes, who played No. 1 singles at last week's Wichita State tournament. KU finished second out of four Wichita with fourth record Trepes with torn cartilage in her knee and will have arthroscopic knee surgery.
"That's a big blow to the girls." Perelman said. "But in a way it it's a godsend in that it happened now, in the fall."
runnels and Porter make up the No. 1 doubles team, Dicke and Bolen the No. 2 doubles team and Berglund the Berglund team. Berglund the No. 3 doubles team.
Other KU singles players this weekend will be Laura Runnels, No. 2 singles; Laura Hibbard, No. 3; Janelle Boleen, No. 4; Pam Porter, No. 5; and Steffanie Dicke, No. 6.
Kansas will face Southwest Missouri State at 9 a.m. today, and will play K-State at 9 a.m. tomorrow. K-State and Southwest Missouri State play at 2 p.m. today.
"They're a good solid program, as is K-State," he said. "K-State has a new course in a lot of ways that you learn to the program and gets the kids motivated
PERELMAN SAID THAT the men's and women's teams were using the fall season as a means of developing fitts in the framework of the team.
"As far as match play is concerned, we try to settle on a doubles team," he said. "Most importantly, the fall is a time for game improvement. We try to see everyone's game is improving."
Perman said that his teams also did a lot of stretching and physical conditioning work in the fall.
The next meet for the Kansas women's tennis team will be Oct. 11-13 at the Nebraska Invitational at Lincoln. The next meet for the team's team is Oct. 5 and 6 at the Ball State Invitational at Muncie, Inc.
Fall tennis results are not recorded by the NCAA. The NCAA doesn't begin recording college tennis results until Jan. 1.
Allen retires as Wranglers head coach
Injury-riddled Sooners will take on Wildcats
Allen, who will remain with the Wranglers as part owner and chairman of the board, will be succeeded in the head coaching post by Paul Lanham, Arizona's offensive coordinator the past season.
Neuraska thrashed the then 10th-rated UCLA Bruins 42-3 at the Rose Bowl last week and this week's game is, at least on paper, a huge mismatch. Syracuse beat Northwestern 13-12 two weeks ago and then was shut out by Rutgers last week, 19-0.
PHOENIX — George Allen, a veteran coach who took teams to championship games in the both the National Football League and the United States Football League, retired yesterday as coach of the Arizona Wranglers.
season.
Allen's retirement came only two months after he took the Wranglers to the USFL, title game, where they were defeated by the Philadelphia Stars. Allen previously spent 12 years as an NFL head coach. He took the Washington Redskins and their "Over the Hill Gang" to Super Bowl VII.

The Sooners are a perennial Top 20 team but they are also a perennial Top 2 team in rushing. Oklahoma has led the nation in rushing six times and finished second four times in the last 13 years. After three weeks this season, the Sooners are No. 4 in the UPI poll but a mere 28th in rushing with an average of 220 yards per game.
The lack of yards isn't what ails the Oklahoma wishbone. It's the lack of healthy bodies that has kept the Sooners away from what they consider their rightful place in rushing's Ton Two.

Doctors determined this week that Johnson has not fully recovered from a fractured kneecap suffered in the Nebraska game last November. He may wind up sitting on the rest of the season. Oklahoma hopes to get Tillman back in next week for Texas.
It isn't often that the Oklahoma Sooners rank higher in the United Press International poll than they do in the NCAA rushing statistics.
Spencer Tillman, who rushed for 1,047 yards as a freshman last year, has been idled by a pulled hamstring and is now back in the yards as a freshman last year.
In other Big Eight games, all non conference, No. 1 Nebraska visits Syracuse, No. 11 Oklahoma State is at Tulsa, Missouri hosts No. 17 Notre Dame, Colorado is home against No. 15 UCLA, Iowa State is home against West Texas State and Kansas travels to North Carolina.

New softball diamond being built
By CHRIS LAZZARINO Sports Writer
The softball team may be able to have a regulation home diamond by next spring if mother nature offers a helping hand.
The team currently practices and plays home games at Holom Sports Complex, 25th and Iowa Streets, on a Saturday. The team has new regulation for fast pitch baseball.
Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director, said that the grading has been completed for the new diamond. Utilities, dugouts and fences will be installed this fall. The field will probably be seeded next week.
good shape Temple said that the facility would be ready for use in the spring if the grass came up on time.
remple said. "We need to get the seed down as soon as possible. If we do it in the next week, we will be in good shape."
the new diamond is located directly south of the Anschutz Sports Pavilion and football practice field. Temple said that he did not know the location but estimated that it probably cost between $100,000 and $110,000.
Temple said that the funding is coming from the athletic department, the University and the state.
Head softball coach Bob Stanclift said that the team needed the new
diamond because the facility it currently uses is designed for slow pitch softball, not fast pitch, and the fence is 75 feet too deep.
"The home run over the fence has become an important part of the game and they just don't happen on our field." Stanciff said. "It is a different game when you don't play on a regulation diamond."
Stancliff also said that the new field, along with the pavilion, could help in recruiting.
"The fact that we didn't have our own field has not really been a major objection in the past." Stanciff said. "But it should help our program by giving us the chance to play in a facility designed especially for fast pitch softball."
Indians help KC with victory over Twins
By United Press International
CLEVELAND — Jamie Quirk slammed his first home run of the season with two out in the ninth innning last night, lifting the Indians to a 4-3 victory over Minnesota and crippling the Twins' American League West title hopes.
Quirk, who was acquired Monday from the Chicago White Sox's Denver
(AAA) affiliate of the American Association, sent the second pitch from loser Ron Davis, 7-10, down the right-field line, just inside the pitcher.
the loss dropped the Twins, now 817.8, two games behind Kansas City in the AL West. Minnesota has three games remaining with Cleveland.
The Royals, 83.76, were idle last night. They open a three-game series Friday night in Oakland against the
A. S. Any combination of two Royal victories or Twins losses will assure Kansas City the division title
Oddly, Quirk may be the only member of the Indians who actually cares about the AL West pennant race. He is a former member of the Royals and still makes his home in Chicago. The Royals' George Brett and Bud Black and attended Paul Splittorf's retirement party on Sept. 22.
United Press International
Kansas City fans brave the rain and cold to stand in line and buy tickets for possible American League championship games at Royals Stadium. The Royals have a two-game lead in the American League West over the Minnesota Twins with three games left.
