Tee time
Men's golf team needs its depth to be competitive in tough Big 8
By Rusty Lynn

Tut. tut. One o'clock and time for tee.
Almost sounds like an English duke calling for his afternoon cup. In the morning it's o'clock is the tee time for the Kansas men's golf team's daily practice.
Head coach Ross Randall is preparing for the 1985 fall season when he says could be the strongest team in the league years that he's been coaching here.
"We've got depth on this year's team," Randall said. "With our depth we hope to be able to carry a five man team, and all of them should be able to carry their own weight. This year's group is a lot more competitive than in the past."
Competitiveness seems to be the key word for Big Eight conference gift. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have maintained national rankings in recent years. Randall also adds Nebraska to the list of strong Big Eight teams.
But the Jayhawks, who finished fifth in the conference last season, are hoping their young team will carry them higher in the final standings.
Senior Chris Hutchins and junior Steve Madsen are the two who will lead the way, Randall said. Hutchins, a transfer student from Coffeyville, Georgia, is now in New Jersey competing in the U.S. Amateur Tournament.
Madsen is the veteran on the team. His golf honors include a second place finish in the Kansas Invitational and a final tennfinish in the Drake Invitational.
The Jayhawks are also relying on Brian McGreevy. The sophomore was selected to last year's All Big Ten selection and received in their first college season.
Randall also is hoping that freshman John Ogden can step in and help the team out. Ogden was a semifinalist in the U.S. National Junior Ametue and was recruited by 26 colleges. Ogden holds the Kansas
state record with 212 for 54 holes in junior competition.
Ogden does not hesitate to elaborate on why he picked Kansas over the other schools.
"I picked KU because of coach Randall," Ogden said. "I like what
he can do. He has a fine reputation as a teacher and he's been on the professional tour. KU is also good in
academics, which was something I was looking for. Fine campus, fine school, fine coach."
Randall likes to compete as well as coach. He recently competed in the 1985 PGA Championship in Denver.
"It it was the best time I've ever had in a tournament," Randall said. "I played leuxy, but it was nice to see some of my old friends."
Old friends? It must be nice to run around with Roger Mollieb, Bob Eastwood, Hubert Green, and Lee Trevin.
Dove season opens Sunday

The hunting season is almost here, and this year it brings lower bagging limits for waterfowl because of decreased populations of many species of duck.
"The dove population is relatively upchanged from years past, but there's a forecast of a decline in the number of McCadden of Kansas' Fish and Game.
| "It seems to be because of a loss of nesting habitats in Canada," said Richard Sanders, also of Kansas Fish and Game.
As a result, bag limits for ducks are down. Duck limits are going to be counted on a point system again this year, with a different number of points for different species.
Points range from 20 to 100 points a duck, with the bag limit at 100 points a hare. Drake Mallards, Pintails and Ring-necks are 35 points, and Mallard ducks are 20 points. The possession limit is two days' worth, or 200 points.
Dove hunting season begins Sunday, and will continue through Oct. 30. The bag limit for doves is 15 a day, with the possession limit at 30.
Sanders said these limits were strictly enforced.
"Wildlife conservation officers go out to hunting areas and patrol," he said. "They periodically check the hunters and the blinds."
Sanders also said the officers sometimes checked cars heading out of the hunting areas. He said the game troop too much game was usually a fip.
Because of the decline of the duck population, the duck hunting season again will be divided into three parts.
"In the past we've had a season that used to last almost the whole winter." Sanders said.
The season now runs from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3, Nov. 9 to Dec. 8, and Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 with hunting permitted from midnight hour before sunrise until sunset.
Also about to change is the type of shot allowed in Kansas. Next year there will be only steel shot allowed, Sanders said.
"Some areas are steel shot only now," he said, "but the Lawrence area is lead shot."
There are approximately 9,500 acres of public hunting and fishing in the area, McFadden said, including
the Clinton wildlife area west of Clinton Lake. Other nearby wildlife areas include Douglas State Lake, Leavenworth State Lake and Perry Lake.
Sanders said large mouth bass and bluegills were found at all these lakes. The limit for the bass are five a day and they must be at least 15 inches in length. White bass and channel catfish can be found at Perry and Clinton lakes, with a 10 a day limit on the catfish. Walleye and flathead catfish are found at Perry, Leavenworth and Clinton lakes. The limit for walleye is eight a day, and the limit for flathead catfish is five a day. There is no limit on bluegills or white bass. The possession limit for the fish with bag limits is three days worth.
Hunters still can apply for an archery permit to hunt deer, but the drawings for firearms permits for killing of antelope and deer are over.
An annual hunting license for Kansas residents costs $9, with non-residents paying $50. Duck hunters also need to buy a federal duck stamp available at any post office.

All-sports tickets going fast
By Chris Lazzarino
Sports editor
Students may need to have allsports tickets to see the Kansas basketball team on a student ticket, ticket manager Kent Weiser said yesterday.
"There are probably around 1,000 all-sports tickets left," he said. "There is a good chance that those will sell out. If I were a student, I would hate to plan on getting into the basketball games and then not being able to."
Weiser, who was named ticket manager in July, based his prediction on the fact that, as of Tuesday, about 85 percent of the all-sports tickets had been sold. If the all-sports tickets sell out, there will be no basketball only student tickets available, he said.
Students still are able to buy all-sports tickets, which cost $45. These tickets are good for all home football and basketball games and the Kansas Relays.
The all-sports tickets are on sale at the ticket office in Allen Field House. Weiser also said tickets would be sold in front of Wesco Hall sometime next week, probably starting Wednesday. He said all-sports tickets probably would be available at that time, but he said he wasn't positive the tickets would last until then.
"It could be that the all-sports tickets will be gone by then," he said. "But because I haven't been around for this before, it is hard to guess
what will happen. We have had great turnout and support from the students early, and that might carry over this week."
Weiser said that football-only tickets, which can be purchased now, definitely would be sold next week in front of Wescoe.
Prices for football-only student tickets are $25 for open seating and $28 for reserved seating. The reserved student tickets are available only to juniors, seniors and graduate students.
Students also may purchase individual football game tickets, but those are only available at the ticket office. Prices for student individual tickets are $7. Individual tickets for non-students average $13. Weiser said.
Entire women's golf team returns from spring season
By Frank Hansel
Of the Kansan sports staff
Kansas women's golf coach Kent Weiser couldn't help smiling as he leveled over this year's roster yester-
day at the ticket office at Allen Field House.
The reason for Weiser's grin was obvious. The Jayhawks have their entire team returning, plus four freshmen, including the top high school player in Iowa last year.
Linda Bauerle comes to Kansas from Ottumwa, Iowa, where she had the low score in the Iowa State
women's tournament 'last year.
Bauerle shot rounds of 71 and 76, but was not declared the winner because she failed to win her regional tournament that preceded the state tournament.
"She was the best high school after I could find in the four-state area."
But the heart of the Jayhawk team is the returning golfers. Senior tri-captains Maureen Kelly, Brenda Sanders and Jane Helleberg and sophomore Gnewchw are planning to build on last year's success.
That success included a third place finish at the Big Eight Championships. The Jayhawks finished behind first place Oklahoma State, and only seven shots behind Missouri. In the two previous championships, Kansas outshot out of seven teams. Colorado does not field a women's golf team.
Weiser said it was his golfers' desire to improve, not only their physical but also their mental game, that led to the team's success.
Weiser said. "We don't want to get wrapped up in things we don't have control over during the tournaments."
"We stress the mental part of our game as much as the physical."
Weiser, who doubles as the Kansas ticket manager, said one important part of the physical game the Jayhawks had worked on was the first down in the final possession who could hit the ball long, but weren't bringing in the low scores.
One golfer who did bring in low scores last year was Kelly. She averaged 82.3 strokes a round last fall. Weiser said that figure was
deceiving because Kelly, who shot several tournament rounds in the 70s, struggled in the early part of the season.
"I're really happy to have Maureen back. She has a super attitude, and she is picking up where she left off last year." Weiser said. "She went out and shot 39 (9 holes) the other day and she really didn't play that well."
Sanders is another golfer who made giant strides in improvement from a year ago. Weiser said she was a big-achever, both academically and athletically.
"Her biggest asset is her intelligenr," Weisar said, "and the way she is able to think her way around a golf course."
Helleberg, a fifth year senior and tri-captain, has made the biggest improvement from a year ago, Weiser said.
"Jane made some difficult changes in her physical swing over the summer, and it has really paid off for her," Weiser said.
The Jayhawks will also be relying on the skill of junior Marlielee Scheid.

Williams' charges dropped
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — A state judge Wednesday threw out five sports bribery charges against former Tulane basketball star John "Hot" Massey in the case of misconduct by prosecutors that depraved Williams of a fair trial.
Orleans Perish Judge Alvin Oster quashed the indictment that charged Williams with accepting $4,900 to shake points in Metro Conference games against Memphis State and Southern Mississippi in February.
Prosecutors said they would appeal the ruling. Oser gave the n until Sept. 11 to file motions in the 4th state Circuit Court of Appeal.
the second round of June's NBA draft.
The ruling frees Williams of all criminal charges and apparently agrees to a contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who drafted the 6-10 center in
"John's been to hell and back, and I hope it's over now," defense attorney Michael Green said. "I hope he averages 22 points (a game) for volleyand goes back to his child and its family and gets back to his life."
Oser declared a mistrial Aug. 15 because the prosecutors failed to provide relevant evidence. The prosecutors said they intended to seek a retrial by having the judge's ruling overturned.
Williams said he would return to his rural home in Sorrento, La., for now and then hope to join the Cavaliers. Cleveland officials, who earlier said they would not sign Williams to a contract as long as any charges were pending, would not comment Wednesday about the case.
Green said he was not concerned.
about statements by U.S. Attorney John Volz that federal officials were looking into the possibility of prosecuting Williams. Volz currently is preparing for the racketeer trial of Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards.
Williams, 23, was indicted with two other players, four Tulane fraternity brothers and two suspected bookmakers on charges of sports bribery and conspiracy to commit sports bribery.
Three of the Tulane students and a player have pleaded guilty and two other Green Wave players — Jon Johnson and Clyde Eads — were granted immunity for testifying against Williams. A player and the two suspected bookies have pleaded innocent and face later trials.
The point-shaving scandal, which grew out of a friendly cocoa sale, led Tulane officials to do away with the men's basketball program.
