Intramural athletics on upswing; increased playing area one cause
By GRIFF DOCKING
Staff Reporter
Student participation in intramural athletics at the University of Kansas is expected to increase this fall, acco- ments Willisburg, recreation services director
The expected increase of 10 percent is in addition to a 10 percent increase in the program during the last four years.
Wilkerson said recently that he also expected a big increase in the number of intramural football teams because of an influx of college football fields that would be available this fall.
With the additional five football fields, there will be a total of 11. Wikelson said.
"We could only use six fields last year because the intramural field at 23rd and Iowa were being renovated," Wilkerson said.
The six fields are near Robinson Gymnasium.
"Many teams don't sign up last year because there wouldn't be many games," he said. "But the increase in the number of fields allows us to plan more games."
THE FIVE additional fields at KU 820 and Iowa sports complex have been under renovation during the past year. The fields were closed to intramural sports because
Other work done on the 32nd and Iowa Streets fields includes installation of an underground watering system and renovated rainfields. The schoolhouse, formerly occupied by KU entomology department will be installed with insect facilities and possibly a bar, sand bar,
the ground needed to be seeded and fertilized. Wilkerson said,
The underground watering system, which cost around $7,500 to put in, has been a problem. Wilkerson said.
"We have had a problem of people driving their cars onto the fields and driving over the sprinkler heads," Wilkerson said. "The sprinklers cost about $10 to replace.
"THERE HAS BEEN and always will be a problem of keeping cars off of the fields," he said.
League classifications for intramural sports will be changed this fall, Wilkerson said.
In the past, there has been A, B and C leagues. Beginning this fall, there will only be an A or trophy league and a C, or recreation league.
"The B league was dropped because we felt that it wasn't organized well," Wilkerson said. "Many of the teams in the B league were too good, and because they were good enough and too
competitive. The B league was designed to be non-competitive."
Several of the tennis courts to the west of Wilkinson were resurfaced this summer, Wilkinson also lightened the tennis courts at Robinson. There also are four lightened tennis courts next to the old court.
ACROSS NAISMITH DRIVE from Allen Field House is a new addition to Robinson, which the recreation office will move into mid-siurn. Wilkerson said.

Bait shop lures many fishermen
By BRUCE A. WELLS Staff Reporter
At dawn, a gray light shades Floyd's Bait and Tackle Shop, 3301 Iowa St., as well as many others through the creaking door. Aged Plymouths and pickup trucks like the gravel driveway just outside. Fiberplays have pointless lance toward the rising sun.
Jram Bramble, the shop's manager, is pretty quiet at 6 in the morning. A few of his regular customers will talk about the water level at Clinton Reservoir or the prospects of rain. Some might purchase a lure or two, but most just head to the building counter with their galvanized buckets. Minnows are big business at the shop.
"I usually stock about 12,000 minnows twice a week," Bramble said recently. "I sold about 58,000 over the Memorial Day weekend."
The minnow tanks take up a shop at a third of the space of the small shop. Buckets are skillfully filled with dozens of the small creatures. Prices range from 60 cents for the small to 90 cents for the large shark. Goldfish, a favorite of catfish, sell for $2.50 each.
AS THE WARM day progresses, a transition takes place inside Flaunt's Bait and Tackle Shop. Although the experts still have much to learn, they also must also begin to make their appearance.
KU students, with six-packs of beer warming in their cars,穿盾 through the door and casually ask about bait prices and where the fish are biting.
"Can't say," Bramble wu tpi, "about everywhere." His blue eyes seem fluent. He doesn't look like a fisherman who has just caught a carp. A regular might come in and receive immediate attention as the student stands with his still empty Tumper pupate bow.
Although the service may be a little slow for rookies, carefully-worded questions might yet bring a smile to Bramble's lean, stubbed face. Just ask about
"This is a good location," he said.
"There are guys heading to places all around here. I have trouble keeping up with the demand sometimes."
TILTING BACK his cap, which has a lace-lined front. It, Bramblete, is most friendly as much as successful enterprise. it could be the first step toward becoming one of his many friends.
But Bramble does not actually own the shop. Its owner, Floyd Pulse, spends most of his time in Kansas City and allows him to play football, which has been open since March. 1978.
And as for the fires prospects of area lakes, Eugene Fewell, who works at the shop on a part-time basis, says the fish are biting most everywhere.
Wigalina worms

Fewell said the bass fish was good at the Douglas County State Lake, crappie and walleye pike are flourishing at
"They're catching some northern pike at Clinton," he said recently. "I've heard they've been hitten' around the 've and up the Wakaraura arm."
Pomona Lake, and Perry Lake has also been producing some nice pole-benders.
KU students looking for something to cure hungovers might take their first notes of the semester and head out to do some reading on Baily's Baid and Tackle is their first test.
