Sports Wednesday, Sept. 4, 1985 University Daily Kansan 13 News Briefs 'Hawk receiver Peete sidelined with injury Kansas wide receiver Skip Peete, who injured his right knee in Saturday's game against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in Honolulu, will be out for an indefinite period of time, sports information director Doug Vance said yesterday. Vance said it was diagnosed yesterday that Peete had a sprained knee. Associate sports information director Dick O'Connor yesterday said there was no new information concerning the eight football players who have not been academically certified. He said he did know when any new information would be available. Receivers coach Mike Dickens said, "We're taking a wait and see attitude. We's a day-by-day thing. We're just keeping an optimistic attitude about him coming back." We'll have 73 passes for 73 yards against Hawaii. The football team has not practiced since the Hawaii game and will return to practice tomorrow. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Keith Byars, Ohio State's All-American tailback who is also a contender to win this year's Heisman Trophy, broke his right foot in practice Monday and will miss the Buckeyes' opening game against Pittsburgh Sept. 14.

Wilson was expected to miss from two to three weeks after surgery to his left buttock Monday to relieve pressure and swelling as a result of a penicillin shot he received Saturday in Arlington, Texas. From staff and wire reports. 11 players survive cut for baseball Rv Frank Hansel Alan Henman/KANSAN Of the Kansan sports staff There was no score kept, no official batting order and no team statistics were recorded, but the game was still one of the most important of these players' careers. The players were the 40 walk-ons who survived the first cut of this year's baseball tryouts. Eleven of them finished their final cut by baseball coach Marty Patlin and began practice for the fall season yesterday. Walk-on Curtis Befort, right, tries to stay one step ahead of Kansas shortstop Gary Lang. Befort was one of 11 players to survive the final baseball team cut yesterday and begin practice for the upcoming season. Pattin, who now has 39 players on his fall roster, said last week he would make another cut, probably at the end of the fall season, to complete his final spring roster. Assistant coach Lee ice said 39 was a large number of players to have on a squad, but that it would give the team more depth than it has ever had Each fall the Jayhawks hold a tryout for students enrolled at KU who want to try to make the ballclub as walk-ons. Pattin said Hugh Stanfield and Todd Schweigert were examples of players who walked-on and contributed to the team. Stanfield is a senior outfielder, who hit .338 last year with four home runs and 26 RBIs while committing only one error in the outfield. "These tryouts are very important for our program." Pattin said. "You never know when you will find someone who can help the ballclub." Schweigert finished his KU career last spring by hitting .265 with six home runs while driving in 27 runs. Among the 11 who will be trying to take the same route as Stanfield and Schweigert are pitchers Curtis Befort, Scott Cook and Scott Taylor. Also making the fall squad were infielders Scott Serate and Jeff Gazzaway, catchers Darrel Matthews and Sheldon Stewart and outfielders Scott Dergan, Pat Green, Scott Mastinbrook and David Seuser. Ice said that between 65 and 70 ballplayers had come out to the week-long tryout, and after evaluating each one their strengths and weaknesses, the field was cut to 40 Intrasquad games will also make up much of the fall practice schedule, Ice said. With such a large number of games, it will give the coaching staff a better idea of how they handle game-type situations. The team will be split into two squads for the intrasquad games, which will be played each Tuesday and Thursday. Ice said. "There are a lot of positions up for grabs on this team," he said, "and we feel that the players need to be exposed to more live pitching and game situations. "Plus the players will be able to play in more games than just the 20-game fall schedule, and the coaching staff will be better able to evaluate the players before the final cut." Besides adding depth to the club, ice said the large number of players would create a competitiveness that had been lacking in years past. This fall KU is at least two-deep at every position, a luxury the coaching staff did not have last year. Sooners still No.1 in AP college poll The country's top seven teams, none of which has played a game this season, retained their positions yesterday in the first regular-season Associated Press college football poll.

But Florida State, a 38-12 winner over Tulane, moved from 19th place to 17th, ahead of South Carolina and Penn State.

Princeton crew team to attend KU regatta if boathouse is ready Chicago Seaver (L) 12-10 Kansas City Suburban WI (W-17) T - 3 (0) a - 7 (0) 8 6 3 2 3 1 9 7 2 2 0 4 By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff About 12,000 people attended a regatta in Tulsa last year, Elliot said. "I think we could get those kinds of turnouts here," he said. If the building of the new boothhouse for the Kansas crew team goes as planned, the Princeton crew team may come to Lawrence for a regatta next fall, KU crew coach Cliff Elliot said yesterday. Elliot said competition from teams such as Princeton would arouse interest in crew at the University of Kansas. The new boathouse would be at the site of the old railroad depot in North Lawrence. The crew club is also hoping to acquire a piece of privately owned land near its present boat-haven on Seventh and New York streets. "We could get a lot of spectator interest," he said. Union Pacific has agreed to give us the old depot in North Lawrence and $10,000," said Elliot, who has coached at KU since 1980. Financing has long been a problem for the crew team. This year the club received $2,500 from the Student Government and $1,900 from $0,000 to $50,000 a year. Elliot said The crew team now launches its boats from the section of property it hopes to acquire. Food, transportation to meets and club fees currently come out of the players' own pockets. Team members also raise money for the club by handing in concessions and parking at football and basketball games. encouragement and an openness here," Elliot said. "The athletic department isn't picking it up, they have all these other sports. I can understand their position, but that's not to say it can't happen in the future. Our approach is, 'let's do what we can by ourselves.'" There is no financial support (from the University), but there is Elliot and his wife, novice women's coach Libby Elliot, have already canceled plans for fall racing because of the expense, although they may scrimmage with Kansas State. They hope to generate more income from the event, but rowing classes for people who don't have enough time to join the team. "Who are we going to impress without good facilities?" he asked. "Princeton has committed to come in when we get the boothouse done. To really develop a program on the number of levels we're trying, you need almost three times the equipment. Cliff Elliot said that improving the facilities would be the foundation on which to build. The first meeting for students interested in crew is at 4:00 p.m. today at the old boathouse at the corner of Seventh and New York streets. "We have all the natural conveniences: a good place to row that's protected from the wind and also close to campus. We're just looking for optimistic people who can see a man and say 'that what's what I want to do.'" “It’s annoying to the people that use Robinson gym if we try to have a workout there even when we split the cup. So we try to add weights out here.” Crew team coach Cliff Elliot, right, and crew member James Morns place a sign on the front of the team's new boathouse But that takes more money.
