The Jayhawks practiced without pads in preparation for tomorrow's game against Florida State in Tallahassee. Kansas won't face FSU's starting QB By Frank Hanser Of the Kansan sports staff Bv Frank Hansel The Florida State Seminoles will be without their starting quarterback when they are the host for Kansas tomorrow in Tallahassee, head coach Bobby Bowden said yesterday. From staff and wire reports. Sophomore Danny McManus, who had won the start job this fall, suffered a concussion and whiplash. He then was removed from Nebraska and Membis State frames. "We thought he would play up until yesterday (Wednesday)." Bowden Florida State Game four, Sept. 28 Tallahassee, Fla. said. "But the doctors said it would be too big of a risk." FSU assistant trainer Randy Orvatz said, "We're talking out like a light. It was just like at Nebraska. When we got out there to him, he was out cold." "The other kid (Coker) is a very capable quarterback, and we'll use the same defense against him," Gottfried said yesterday. Kirk Coker, fifth-year senior, will start at quarterback against the Jayhawks. Coker has come off the ball in all three of FSU's games this year. "I would like to keep him in relief," Bowden said, "because he has done such a good job coming in off the bench." Bowden said Coker came in last year against Arizona State and helped turn a 17-0 deficit into a 52-44 victory. This year, Coker has come in against Nebraska and Memphis State and engineered come-from-behind victories. The Seminoles defeated Nebraska, 17-13, in Lincoln, Neb., and Memphis State, 19-10, in Tallahassee, Fla. Coker will be backed up by either senior Eric Thomas or freshman Chip Ferguson. Kansas head coach Mike Gottfried said his game plan would not change because of Coker's presence. The Kansas running game could get a boost if Gottfried decides to play tailback Lynn Williams. Williams, Kansas' leading rusher last season, and Dane Griffin, a linebacker, were certified yesterday by the University to the Big Eight office after a court order forced the University to certify them as meeting academic requirements. The decision on whether Williams or Griffin will play is now up to Gottfried, who said he wouldn't make up his mind until game time. One problem confronting the Florida State passing game is the same problem Kansas has - injured wide receivers. Wide receiver Hassan Jones, who caught 28 passes last year, will be back in the lineup tomorrow. Jones suffered a shoulder separation last spring, and reinjured the shoulder against Tulane. He missed the Nebraska game and played sparingly against Memphis State. Darrin Holoman, the Seminoles other starting wide receiver, is doubtful after suffering a pulled groin muscle last week. Bowden said he didn't practice Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. "We can't seem to get both our receivers in the game at the same time." Rowan. Kansas will get one of its two injured wide receivers back, with the return of Johnny Holloway. Bowden said stopping the Kansas passing attack would be the key for the Seminoles to succeed. "We've got to keep Norseth from from completing the big play, which he is very capable of doing." Bowden said. Bowden said he was concerned, but not worried, about his defensive secondary against Kansas. The Seminoles start two freshman and two sophomores and, Bowden said, they hadn't been tested by a passing team like the Jayhawks. Gottried said Kansas had to keep Florida State from long time consuming drives and the Jayhawks needed to execute well on special teams. KC. Angels tied in AL West United Press International California, which was idle Thursday, and Kansas City each have 10 games remaining, including four games against each other next week in Kansas City. SEATTLE — Steve Balboni hit his 35th home run and Charlie Leibrandt and Dan Quisnberry combined on an eight-hitter Thursday night to lead Kansas City to 5-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners and move the Royals into a first-piece tie with the Angels in the American League West. Balboni's two-run homer highlighted the Royals' three-run sixth inning and gave Leibrandt, 17-8, a 5-0 lead. Leibrandt, who retired 18 consecutive batters, departed in the eighth and Quisenberry picked up his American League-leading 35th save. Royals 5, Mariners 2 The Royals made it 2-0 in the fourth.

Street, according to Jim Pilch. race director. Some members of the Kansas women's cross country team will run with the men's squad in the Classic's open division. Bob Timmons, head men's coach, said the race should be an excellent workout for his runners. Last year, Kansas' Brent Steiner won the event. "This is just the second year we've run in the Classic and it will be a pretty good test for us. It's a home meet and it's a good change of pace from the regular meets we've had so far," Timmons said. Timmons' squad comes into the Fall Classic after having won its last intercollegiate meet — last weekend's Jayhawk Invitational in Lawrence. The Jayhawks will again miss freshman Roger Littlefield, who has been out with a knee injury. "We're one of the largest 10k races in Kansas and last year, with over 1,000 runners, we were the largest. The race is the third largest in the Kansas City area." Pilch said. With over 800 runners, Pilch said the Fall Classic ranks as one of the state's largest races. Kansas will be the only university team entered in the Fall Class this year. In 1984, Kansas State's cross country team also participated. The race will be broadcast 6:30 p.m. Saturday by TV-30. Sports Almanac American League East W L Pet.

Club preparing for Octaginta By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff Ron Lathrop has come a long way from tricicles and training wheels. Lathrop, a Lawrence resident and former University of Kansas student, is a member of the Mt. Oread Bicycle Club. Lathrop leads a small group of competitors in a competitive. The group spends two or three hours a day training. The 26-year-old biker has been competing for three years. He has made the national championships the first and is the Kansas state champion. "The main thing I do is race." "Lathrop said yesterday, 'If I didn't have a car, I'd go back." Nathan Sheafer, a former bike club rider, has also been successful on the national level. Sheafer is on the national team and placed second at the 1985 national individual time trials. Aside from the racing group, the bicycle club also holds touring rides every Sunday. The club is gearing up for its annual 80-mile bicycle tour, the Octaginta, to be held Oct 13. Club members stress that the Octaginta is not a race but a tour. "There's no finish line, no numbers," said bike club advisor Gene Wee, "it's strictly a party on wheels." "Every time I get a flat it costs me $25," Darrell Craig said. "You just have to be especially cautious and dress for it," he said of riding in cold weather. The Octaginta is held on country roads around Lawrence and will include a police escort out of town. Wee expects between 400 to 500 participants, including many bike club alumni. Interested bikers can get applications for the Octaginta at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas University or at bike shops in Lawrence, Emporia, Topeka, Wichita and Kansas City. For racers, biking is an expensive sport. Entry-level bikes cost about $400, club members said, and very good racing bikes can cost $1,000. Lathrop takes about 12 men on daily rides of 30 to 60 miles that last Craig said the club continued to ride in the winter, as well as train Craig, a Topeka sophomore, has ridden competitively for a year, after running track and cross-country in high school. He began riding last spring with KU triathlete Clark Campbell, who also trains with the group and has been hooked ever since. from one and a half to three hours. Presently there are no women training with the racers. Despite different levels of ability, the bikers stick together on these rides. Craig said, "You have sort of a bacup etiquette, and one of the guys who did that was him." Club members hope to have a strong team later this year. Team tactics and strategy are important in cycling, and Craig said that members are working on forming a strong team with a certain level of endurance. Lathrop said, "We're just starting to get a good team. Biking has had a steady growth. It hasn't had the boom that running has." Next spring the club will hold the KU Criterium, a race on a short course through campus. Craig said the course would be three-quarters to one mile long, making it a good spectator event. Bicycle racers are divided into different categories by ability. Many races have open divisions and these can be entered by anyone. Other races, including local and national championships, are controlled by the United States Cycling Federation, the governing body of bicycling. To enter these races, bikers must hold a USCF license, and these come in four levels.
