Both Seitz and junior quarterback Marlon James will play against the defense. Powers
Seitz also started last Saturday. He and
Wang lost to 104-94 at Illinois.
"We are going to give Warren a little longer run at it this week," said Powers. "I have been asking for you."

Cubs ace may return next year
CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs pitcher Rick Sutliffe, who has compiled a 141 record since he was acquired from Cleveland in June, indicated yesterday that prospects are good that he will play with the Cubs next season.
"My first meeting with General Manager Dallas Green and President Jim Finks proved more satisfying than I had expected. The contract expires at the end of the season."
Sutcliffe, who had been scheduled to pitch against Monreal yesterday before the game was postponed because of rain, reportedly told some members of the team that he would up his mind about next season and also shopping around for a big contract.
"I was told by Green that he acquired me from Cleveland mainly because of my attitude, because he knew I had been struggling and had not been pitching well the last couple of seasons," Sutcliffe said. "After I sat down with him and my agent I suddenly began to look at things in an entirely different light."
State gymnastics meet saved
TOPEKA — Kansas High School Activities Association directors defeated yesterday a proposal to discontinue the state boys' high school gymnastics meet, said Nelson Hartman, KSSHA executive secretary.
Instead of eliminating the meet, the board voted at its semiannual meeting to hold a state championship event only if eight or more teams participated. Individual championships still will be held if there are less than eight full teams in the state.
"There was a lot of emotion and statewide interest in this proposal." Hurtman said. "We let gymnastics stand on its own merits and not do this for another sport. I think the Olympics might be an issue to do with the interest in this issue.
A controversial issue that passed, Hartman said, was a proposal to allow high school athletes to join another school's team if there are not enough students in a school interested in a sport to field a team.
Florida's Pell vows not to quit
GAINESVILLE. Fla. — Embattled Florida Coach Charley Pell said yesterday he wanted to finish the session despite 169 AAs charges against the Gator program.
"Ive worked with most all of these players two or more years — some for five years," Pell said in a story published by the Orlando Sentinel. "If I faced a tough situation and folded up and ran off that, I be against everything I taught them."
"They deserve the very best I've got. I never even considered leaving this football team."
The University of Florida received the list of allegations Tuesday from the SCAA after an almost two-year investigation. The school now must respond to the charges.
The NCAA accused Florida of giving money and gifts to players, spying on opponents practices and violating dozens of other rules.
rent announced before the season, as the NCAA investigation was winding down, that he would resign at the end of the season.

'Hawk defensive unit braced for FSU attack
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
two years ago, a Florida State team on its way to a 9-3 season opened the season against an upstart Cincinnati team and barely escaped with a 38-31 victory.
"That guy's one of the best young coaches in America." Seminole Coach Bobby Bowden said of the Cincinnati coach after the game. "He's going places."
That Cincinnati coach did go places, to the University of Kansas, to be exact, and tomorrow Mike Gottfried will get another chance to sneak up on Bowden when his Jayhawks face Florida State. Game time is 1:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
Both teams have had one starter injured in practice who will not start tomorrow. Florida State offensive tackle Jick Jim Thompson will be replaced by sophomore Parrish Barwick. KU fallback Mark Hewitt whose status is in the playoffs of a strained knee, will be replaced by Harvey Fields.
Fields is just returning from a knee injury, suffered in the Wichita State game, meaning that freshman Warren Shields might also see action at fullback, along with No 2 tailback Lymn William of Norseth, Norseth, a stomach muscle injury. this week is now healthy and will start.
Florida State, which has gone to bowl games four of the past five years, has another highly-regarded team this year. The Seminoles, 1-0, are ranked 18 by United
Allen, a 6-foot, 200-pound senior, gained 1,034 yards last year and was a first-team UPI All-American. He needs 43 yards tomorrow to become Florida State's all-time leading rusher. In Florida State's season-opening victory against East Carolina two weeks ago, Allen gained 113 yards on 17 carries.
Press International and feature a highpowered offense led by Heisman Trophy candidate Greg Allen.
"He's very quick and has good size and balance." Gottfried said. "He's got all the standard qualities you're looking for in a Heisman candidate, and it continually deserves to be a Heisman candidate."
Gottried said his team couldn't afford to concentrate too much on Allen, though
"You really can't because everybody else is so good," he said. "They have an excellent quarterback and he has some good receivers to throw to."
Eric Thomas came on strong as the Seminole quarterback in last year's 28-3 Peach Bowl victory over North Carolina and was named the game's most valuable player. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns in Florida State's season-opening 48-17 victory over East Carolina two weeks ago.

As loaded as Florida State's offense is, its defense is just as susceptible. Florida State allowed an average of 28 points a game last year.

Schwartzburg kicking away after long wait
"The thing we've got to do is keep them honest," he said.

Naturally, Dodge Schwartzburg hopes the Kansas Jayhawks can move the ball on Florida State tomorrow. As a place-kicker, the more the Jayhawks move the ball the more chances he has to kick field goals and extra points.
Scharwtzburg can wait, though. A fifth-year senior, he's acquired some patience while watching Berry Kallimyer set all his sights as KU's place keeper the past four years.
Schwartzburg walked on as a freshman in 1980. After redshirting in 1981, Schwartzburg showed his capabilities by kicking two 52-yard field goals in junior-varsity action the past two years.
Now Kallmeyer has moved on, and Schwartzburg won the kicking job over juco transfer Jeff Johnson this fall.
"I've had some questions from people saying I should go somewhere else, but I wanted to stick it out." Schwartzburg said. "like KU. It was tough, but now that I'm here it seems like the wait was not nothing at all. Now I'm a just fifth-year freshman."
Schwartzburg did his job last Saturday against Wichita State, converting all four of his extra point attempts and adding a 36 yard field goal. Tomorrow's game against the Seminoles has special significance for Schwartzburg, who's from Ocala, Fla.
"There's nothing I'd like better than to beat a Florida team," he said. "It's just like the USC game last year when we had all the California players on the team. All my friends go to Florida from central Florida, and there we either are a Florida Gator or a Seminole."
Amnough his hometown lies closer to the Florida State campus in Tallahassee, Flla than the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. Leaves no doubt where his sentiments lie
I'm a Gator fan all the way," he said. "All my family went to Florida."
Schwartzburg began kicking during his junior year at Forest High in Ocala.
"I was trying out for the junior varsity, and a bunch of us guys were kicking the ball around," he said. "I had played soccer in grade school and had a little better hang time and distance, so they said 'You're the kicker'."
He had offers from two small colleges coming out of high school, but chose to come to Lawrence, where he had spent summers with his father, an employee of Packer Plastic.
"You do a lot of stretching out, and there's a lot of mental practice because you're standing around a lot," he said. "People think we have it pretty easy, but you can't kick for two hours or else you won't have any leg left by Saturday."
The man who ran the camp, noted kicking expert Doc Story, lived in nearby Fort Lauderdale. Fla so Schwartzburg was able to watch and gain additional instruction his senior year.
Schwartzburg said he improved his kicking by going to a camp in River Falls, Wis., after that initial season. Johnson was at the same camp.
Johnson gave Schwartzburg quite a battle this fall. The starting place-kicker wasn't named until the week of the Wichita State game.
Schwartzburg said he kicks between 40 and 50 kicks in practice on his heavy kicking days. He said the ball was used to give him control.

Volleyballers at Rice Invitational
By CHRIS LAZZARINO
Sports Writer
The women's volleyball team showed up for class at Rice University in Houston today. But the队 won't be in any classroom. The team will have to court at the Rice University Institutional
"This is really going to be a good learning experience," Beth Vivian, senior setter, said. "It is really hard to say how we will do because it is really the beginning of the season for us and the other teams in the tournament."
Except for Vivian and senior setter Jain, Hunt the KU team is made up of freshmen
With Hunt and Vivian in Houston are
sophomores Susan Hunt. Julie Ester and
Linda Alfaro. Freshmen making the trip are Judy Desch, Eileen Schwartz, Tammy Hill, Michelle Klone and Kristi Conway.
Because the team is dominated by young players, head coach Bob Lockwood said he has had to make use of every spare minute of court time.
Although he planned for the team to leave for florist at 4:45 p.m. yesterday, the team still had a 2:45 p.m. Thursday practice.
"We need to practice every chance we get." Lockwood said. "This team gets better every day. Youth and talent are blending together on this team. It is exciting for coaches."
Because the team has so many newcomers this year, Hunt said she doesn't know exactly who will be.
"The freshmen don't play like freshmen," Hunt said.
Take your seats class. It's time for lesson No. 3, courtesy of Harvey Fields.
That will be all class. Study Harvey's example and do as he does
See Harvey. Watch Harvey run. Harvey runs fast. Harvey goes to football practice. Harvey goes to class.
Yes, fullback Harvey Fields has set an example, both on the field and off the field. And during a Kansas football season filled with academic ineligibilities, it's refreshing to be reminded that the majority of KU's football players do make grades
Fields is an excellent example of a student-athlete. Despite limited practice time this week because of a knee injury, he did well to start at backwell when Kansas plays Florida

On the way to his starting assignment
Fields put in hours of hard work on the
practice field. But his work on the field has
gone hand in hand with his work in the
classroom.
"One thing I'm trying to stay on top of my grades." Fields said. "It's the most important thing. That's something my parents have stressed since high school."
After graduating from Arkansas City High School in Arkansas City, Kan. Fields came to KU to major in architecture at first. KU coaches were not sure Fields would have time for both football and the different architectural projects place on a student's time.
sometimes it's kind of hard when you have a project due and you have to stay up all night for two or three nights in the row, and go to football practice every day," he said. "You really have to be aware of your deadlines."
For the most part, Fields has met his deadlines and has succeeded with flying colors. He has a secret. But to any good student, it's no secret at all.
"You have to know how to budget your time," he said. "This semester is probably the best schedule I've ever had. I have 15 hours this semester. In the past I usually had about 17 or 18."
Ecus said that he had benefited the past three years from schedules that did not include late afternoon courses. However, this semester his luck ended, and he was forced to take a late afternoon class that he needs for his degree.
Much of the blame for KU's large number of academically ineligible players has been aimed toward the academic advising the university, which has own adviser. His name is Harvey Fields.
"I usually picked my classes myself
beautiful." From the start I was pretty much
holding.
Unfortunately, not all players are like Fields. A few of them have trouble budgeting their time, and deciding which classes are best for them
"The trouble is some guys let things slide.
Fields said. "Things get on top of them all at
a time."
Fields said that Coach Mike Gottified emphasized classwork to the players, but that Gottified was powerless to do much more than ask that they do the classwork.
"A lot of it is up to the individual." Fields said. "And that goes for the regular student as well as the student athlete."
