Barkley signs with Sixers but must watch weight
PHILADELPHIA — Following a summer of negotiations during which they were limited by the National Basketball Association salary cap, the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday signed top draft choice Charles Barkley to a four-year contract.
Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed. It is believed that Barkley will receive about $150,000 plus a signing bonus for the first year of the contract but that his salary will increase substantially after that.
The pact for the 6-foot-6 Barkley, who is called the "Round Mound of Rebound," also includes a weight clause. Barkley, 34, said he worked hard, said the team wants him to play at 255.
Barkley declared hardship after his junior year at Auburn and was the fifth player drafted overall.
Blazers. Bowie agree to pact
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Trail Blazers and first-round draft choice Sam Bowie agreed to terms on a lucrative six-year contract yesterday.
Team officials said the contract would make the 7-foot-1 Kentucky center, who was the second overall pick in the June National Basketball Association draft, the third-highest paid rookie in NBA history. No other details of the pact were announced.
The agreement, which came just four days before the opening of fall camp, was reached in New York between Bowie's attorney, Larry Fleisher, and Los Angeles attorney Allen Rothenberg, president of the Los Angeles Clippers.
The contract is still to be drafted, but team officials said it should be prepared and signed in time for Bowie to be in Portland for Saturday's first training camp session.

Volleyballers fall to K-State
By CHRIS LAZZARINO
Sports Writer
The volleyball team fell to 0-3 in the Big Eight Conference when they were defeated by Kansas State last night in Allen Field House.
KU won the second game of the match, 15-5, but lost the other three, 5-15, 7-15 and 5-15.
Head coach Bob Lockwood said last night that although he was pleased with the game KU won, the team was inconsistent overall.
"We played as a young team would." Lockwood said. "We were hot and cold."
Lockwood said. We were told KU was better than K-State, even though the Javahawks won only one game.
"I definitely thought we would win," Hunt said. "We played so well in the second game. I knew we were better than them, but we came out in the third game and played like we were down three games.
"We were too inconsistent, too up and down. We need to stay up."
Hunt said practicing in Robinson Gymnasium instead of in the field house, where the team plays its home matches, hurts the team.
"Playing in here is always like going away," Hunt said. "You don't play as well going away, and we don't have the home
court advantage when we don't practice on the court we play on. But that wasn't really our problem tonight."
KU's efforts prior to the match were concentrated on stopping KState's powerful settter, Renee Whitney. However, Hunt said, Whitney was not that effective last night.
"We worked on the play where their setter hits the second ball over." Hunt said. "The two times she did, I don't think she really did that much with it."
"KU really had us in trouble, especially after the second game," Nelson said. "There were times when they really controlled the momentum of the match and that something they were unable to do last year against us. That is a real positive sign for
KState coach Scott Nelson said that the Jayhawks really had the momentum of the match when they won the second game, but that lapses in concentration hurt both teams
Lockwood said that his team couldn't get down at this point because it has a match against Missouri tonight in Columbia.
"I know they were disappointed in losing, but we have to shake that and prepare for Missouri," Lockwood said. "I'll sure be glad to get a little more game experience. Each time we need to start with a win."
Gottfried looks to positives
"Missouri is a good team — they are ranked — but anything can happen. If you serve well, block well and spike well, anything can happen."
By the Kansan staff
Head football coach Mike Gottfried had his Jayhaws take a good look at themselves yesterday.
"I met with them for an hour this morning, and I had them look at the first half against Vanderbilt and the first half against Florida State." "Gottfried said. 'I wanted them to see that and realize how good a job they'd done. I had the defense watch the offense and the offensive players. Sometimes, you really want to catch a game from the sideline. You have to see it on film."
KU trailed Florida State 14-10 and Vanderbilt 14-6 at the half, only to end up losing 41-16 to the Seminoles and 41-6 to the Compoidores.
"The thing you've got to realize is that both Vanderbilt and Florida State have pretty good teams." Gottfried said. "The positive thing is how well we played them."
Gottfried said that North Carolina, KU's opponent Saturday, would have a better chance at winning.
"By the end of the year, they'll be a power
in the ACC (Athletic Coast Conference)," he said. "They'll be back. They've just got a young team."
Starting wide receivers Skip Peete and Johnny Holloway didn't practice again yesterday. Peete has a bruised knee, and Holloway has a sprained ankle. Gottfried said both were doubtful for Saturday's game C.J. Eanes, Richard Estell and Jeff Long will alternate in Peete's and Holloway's absence if they can't make the trip to North Carolina.
Also doubtful are nose tackle Pat Kelly and fullback Mark Henderson. Kelly missed practice with a sprained ankle. Henderson, nursing a thigh bruise, practiced lightly.
JAYHAWK NOTES: Tailback Robert Mimbs ranks second in NCAA Division I in all purpose yardage this week, trailing Nebraska's Jeff Smith. In three games, Mimbs has rushed for 329 yards, caught passes for 156 yards and returned kickoffs for 133 yards, for an average of 206 all purpose yards a game Smith is averaging 232 all-purpose yards a game. Mimbs is second in the Big Eight Conference in rushing and sixth in pass receptions.
