Bell is only Edison survivor
It had to happen. After four fun-filled years, Kansas fans are left with one last holdout - defensive back Dino Bell - from a group of football players from Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif.
Dino's predecessors, — his brother Kerwin, Frank Seurer and Bill Malavasi — came to Mount Oread with press clippings worthy of recruits usually found at Nebraska and Oklahoma. And after a freshman season in 1980 that displayed their skills, the former KU coach Don Fambridge with a trip to the 1981 Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, Ala.
but 1982 was a bust, and instead of going with Fam to Birmingham, the Jayhawks went 2-7-2 and stayed home. Consequently, Fam is now recruiting full time — for Sen. Bob Dole.
FAMBROUGH'S RECRUTING before the 1982 season, however, brought seven players from Edison High to KU. Jayhawk fans envisioned a talent pipeline from California that would someday lead them to football's promised land — a.k.a. the Top 20.
today, Bell, a 5-foot-9. 100-pound junior, is the only Edison High graduate on the team. The rest have used up their eligibility or left for a
chance at more playing time with another school. For the most part, the love affair was shortlived.
Nevertheless, it continues for Bell, although it certainly has been an up and down love affair. He has survived the bad times, including a broken wrist before the Southern California game last year that kept him from playing in front of his hometown friends. And the good

times, such as a key 37-yard touchdown run in a victory against Kansas State his freshman year.
Now he will be playing without a supporting cast of former Edison High players, and for a team that has been picked to finish last in the Big Eight Conference. Bell said that he noticed the absence of his hometown friends at the start of practice this fall.
"AT FIRST it was strange," he
said, "But me and the guys on the team, from Kansas and from other states, really get along well. I have a lot of friends from Kansas, and that helps, because gradually the guys from Edison left."
The Jayhawks will play Wichita State Saturday in the season opener, and Bell will be starting at left cornerback. KU smashed the Shockers, 57-6, last year, but the Shockers upset the Jayhawks, 13-10, in 1982.
"TWO YEARS AGO we might have been overconfident and looked down at Wichita State," he said. "But not this year. Their quarterback has a real good arm. He's a good passer and a good scramble. You can't expect to run over anyone these days."
By "these days" Bell is referring to the hard times the Kansas football program has suddenly fallen upon. With a team lacking in depth and playing under NCAA probation, the Jayhawks have proven that it really doesn't take long to get from the penthouse to the dog house.
But despite the bleak outlook, Bell stands behind his decision to come to terms.
"I always dreamed of going to USC and playing for the Trojans," he said. "But I like the atmosphere and the people here. I'm glad it here."
Anno Bell was playing tailback in this game against Wichita State in 1982, but he'll be at cornerback when the KU football team opens its season Saturday against the Shockers. Bell is the only Jayhawk left of the seven players recruited by former KU head coach Don Fambrough from Edison High in Huntington Beach, Calif.

Injuries leave KC's offensive line without two of its top performers
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs didn't miss many tackles in their 37-27 season-opening victory Sunday over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they figure to miss two this week
expected to miss Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
David Lutz and Matt Perkinson.
Right tackle Lutz, Kansas City's best offensive lineman a year ago, and left tackle Herkenhoff, Kansas City's most consistent offensive lineman over the past five seasons, both suffered knee injuries in the second quarter of the Pittsburgh game and were held out the rest of the day.
Latz underwent surgery yesterday to repair ligament damage in his right knee and is expected to miss at least eight games. Herkenhoff did not have to undergo surgery but is
Lutz and Herkenhoff were replaced against the Steelers by rookie John Alt and five-year veteran Jim Rourke. There was no noticeable drop on in play as the Chiefs did not allow a sack in the game.
"When you lose two of your four players at a position, you're going to feel it." Kansas City Coach John Mackovic said, "but we had up graded ourselves there from a year ago John Alt has been improving rapidly and Jim Rourke has improved from week to week."
Lutz was a No. 2 pick out of Georgia Tech a year ago and started the entire 1983 season for the Chiefs, earning the club's rookie of the year award. He was replaced by the 6-foot-5, 263-pound Roukue. Herkenoff was replaced by the 6-7.
278 pound Alt, a No. 1 draft pick out of Iowa in 1984.
To add depth this week, Mackovic plans to work a pair of guards at the tack position. Starting left guard Brad Budde will work at left tackle and reserve right guard Rich Baldiger will work at right tackle.
Kansas City middle linebacker Gary Spani also suffered an injury to his right knee against Pittsburgh and, like Herkenhoff, his status will be determined on a player-by-player basis; the agitations are expected to keep Spani out of the Cincinnati game. He will be replaced by rookie Scott Radecic.
The addition of Radecic and Alt gives Kansas City four rookies in the starting lineup. They will join nose tackle Bill Maas, a No 1 draft pick from Pitt, and cornerback Kevin Ross, a No 7 selection from Temple.
The triumph pulled the Royals to within one game of the first place Twins in the American League West.

The Royals tied the score 1-1 in the third on a walk to Biancaalana, a single by Wilson and back-toback feilder's choices by Pat Sheridan and Motley.
Warner expected to be out for year
By United Press International
SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks running back Curt Warner, the leading rusher in the American Football Conference last year as a rookie, underwent knee surgery yesterday and is expected to be out of action for the rest of the season.
Warner's absence leaves a huge void in the Seattle offense. Backup Zachary Dixon was also helped off the field Monday with a knee injury which was not believed to be other active player at the running back position is Eric Lane, known most for his special teams play.
