8 Wednesday, September 5. 1979 University Daily Kansan Easter survives confusion to play By PAM CLARK Sports Writer Beth Ethera is one of the veterans on the KU field hockey team this year. Two years ago, Easter had never seen a field hockey game, talking, taking advertisement for the KU team. "When I first started playing my phonetic name, I was called in little dress, change ball," said Easter. "But after a while, everything started to fall in place and make me nervous." Beth Easter That Eater had no experience playing field hockey is not unusual for members of the KU team. Coach Diana Beebe always insisted that Beebe is not necessary to play on the team. Easter said of her start in the sport, "Two girls who lived on my floor my freshman year were on the team and they encouraged me to play hockey and that said the coach was great." The Salina senior and basketball competed in tennis, school and basketball at Salina Central High School, where they were limited to playing intramural frog football, volleyball and basketball, plus a lot of other sports. "I knew I had to do something," she said "I missed the practicing, competition, everything. Besides, I thought it would be a sure thing," she said, since I did so most running airways." In action last year, Easter suffered a broken nose in a game against Emporia State University. "I was playing a defensive position when a girl from Emporia got a free hit," she said. "I didn't know something because I looked at and the ball was coming right at me. And it happened that it fell off." Easter, who is majoring in physical therapy and physical education, plans to become an athletic trainer. This year she will help Beeze with injuries. "I if I wasn't playing field hockey I would probably be a student trainer," he said. prowess be a student trainer, she said. Because field hockey is not an intercollegiate game, the team is not allowed to use the University's training facilities. The KU athletic department's decision to drop field hockey is an intercollegiate sport is a sore point with Easter. Simple lack of funding isn't going to stop the team, according to Easter. She said interest and enthusiasm had been good at practice so far. "It's easy to blame the department," she said. "I thought they should have done it. But I was so that we could have a team. But I've mellowed out. I realize that it was a difficult task." "A lot of the kids will be in the same situation as I was when they see their first basketball game," she said. "I encourage them to play there. Eventually the game will make skis." She said she had seen a change in the attitude of the players since field hockey became a club. VARSITY BOWLING TRYOUTS AT THE JAY BOWL "When you intercollegiate you get girls who think of themselves as intercollegiate athletes, she said. "Now we get girls who were involved in high school athletics, but I really think they were going to make it in intercollegiate athletics at the college level." 4:00 Thurs. Sept. 6 Whether fieldockey at KU is an intercollegiate or a club sport has little effect on Easter's interest in the game, though students have a strong interest in therapy at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., rather than at KU. Students are also a field basketball in Kansas City, Mo. For Information Call 864-3545 "Field hockey is growing in Missouri and in the United States," she said. "I want to find out everything I can about field hockey. I want to play it from here on." BLOOMINGTON, Minn.

The Twins also picked up a pair of runs in the fifth on consecutive doubles by Bombo Rivers and Butch Wnyear, a saecifer, and a wild pitch by Gura. Jackson's solo home run against loser Larry Gura, 10-10, gave Koosman all the offensive support he needed. Koosman breezed through the first five innings with the Royals coming close to a hit only once. The Twins, meanwhile, teed off on Gura.

"That stinks." "I expected it," defensively back Leroy Irwin said. "We had a poor season last year and a poll like that goes by last year's record. Gura retired the next 10 batters before Rivera and Wynegar connected on their consecutive doubles to start the fifth. Harvey is author of the Bottom Ten, a weekly rating of the worst football teams in the country. "It's the same thing that happened last Second, their 1979 schedule. This season's opponents finished the 1978 season with a combined winning percentage of .601. This season they schedule the seventh toughest in the nation. "We've been seeing negative print the last two years. We're just going to have to ignore the press and go ahead and do our job and play good football." Two factors earned KU its扑 in the pits. First, their 1978 schedule. The 'Hawks finished the season with a .090 winning percentage. Marty Pattin pitched the seventh and eightth innings for the Royals. He gave two hits, but took advantage of two double plays by Kansas City. This year's pre-season rankings list KU as 7, no. behind 17, Northwestern, Boston College, Wake Forest, the University of Texas at El Paso, and the Oregon State University course, is hardly humorous for KU players.

Head coach Don Fambrough laughed after seeing the rankings. year before the UCLA game," he said. "We beat them and we got more respect. "That's just fine," he said in his slow Texas draw. "Does that mean we're seven from the top or seventh from the bottom? I'll make a comment after the season's over." Quarterback Kevin Clinton said that the Bottom Ten appearance could prove to be a slight advantage. Riding the momentum of a 1-10 1977 game, Ridley made his way to practice, KState beat the No. 1. Four Bottom ten ranking and finished 4-7. The Wildcats once did the Milklets on their first visit. A high Bottom Ten ranking is not always a ticket to a bucket. Harvey's near-season poll, like the AP and UPI polls it satirizes, is the Kansas State discovered that last season. "It could be a good thing for us," Clinton said, "because people won't think that much. And we'll come out and knock them off the floor. It's hard to hurt it, but I really don't care." Athletic Director Bob Marcum said as much when he saw the pre-season poll. "I'm sure some people find it amusing," he said, "especially if you're not in it. If you're in it you don't like it. We'll just see if we can get out of it." Grant Thierolf, freshman center, took a philosophical view of the ranking. "I'd rather be fitted in the bottom seven and end up in the top ten that be rated in the top ten and finish in the bottom seven," Thierolf said. KU, however, is not the only Big Eight school in Harvey's poll. Oklahoma State is No. 19, behind No. 18; Indiana and ahead of No. 20 Mississippi. KU to scrimmage Although Kansas' first football game against the University of Pittsburgh is less than two weeks away, Jayhawk coach Ben Hood says he teamed with a regular workout yesterday. "We don't want to start preparing for Pitt too soon," Fambread said. "This was a practice pretty much like yesterday. We learned our techniques and fundamentals." Fambrough said the Jayhawks would get into the routine of the regular season with a scrimmage Saturday and would study scouting reports and game films Sunday. "We'll go through the entire game procedure with players and coaches in the scrimmage." Fambroub said. Fambrough said final decisions on the depth chart would be made early next week, after Saturday's scrimmage. "To be fair to players, we'll give them one more chance to be promoted and moved up on the depth chart," Fambough said. "From now on, contact will be limited."
