Angry Ross heads home,may not return to KU
By KEVIN BERTELS Sports Writer
Ricky Ross
Ricky Roxy, a sophomore guard for the KU basketball team, has cleared his locker and is staying in his home town of Kansas to decide whether to return to Kansas.
Ross missed practice Friday and yesterday. He apparently was angered by a Kansas report that showed he and two teammates had made long-distance calls with assistant coach Lafayette Norwood's telephone credit card, violating the NCAA's special benefits rule.
Head Coach Ted Owens said yesterday that no roster change had been made, despite Ross' absences from practice.
"As soon as I have something to say, I we make an announcement," Owens said.
Practice was closed to spectators yesterday. Owens said the team could not concentrate with the track team also practicing.
"We just haven't had much concentration with everybody milling about," Owens said. "With a game so exciting we needed to concentrate."
Rosa told a friend, who asked not to be identified, that he was going home to California.
Ross left Lawrence for Wichita at 7 p.m. Friday, the day that the Kansas published the story detailing the credit card misuse. The story reported that Ross had made the majority of the long-distance calls.
Ross also told his friend that he was very upset with the students at KU and asked them to say the reports would make it impossible for him on campus without "feeling like a fool."
Ross' friend said he thought Ross'
absence from practice yesterday
probably meant he would quit the team
KU basketball fans apparently won't be kept in suspense much longer. According to Ross' girlfriend, Donda Maloney of Wichita, he has made a decision and will announce it soon. She refused to reveal the decision.
Maloney was the recipient of 17 phone calls from Ross' phone during the period covered by the Jan. 27, 1980, bill. One of the calls was 290 minutes long.
Ross' mother, Rosa Smith of Wichita, said she has not spoken to Rosk about his death.
"I do know what he decided, but I can't say," she said yesterday. "He will announce it this week sometime, I'm sure. I think maybe tomorrow."
"I have not talked to him about the one she said. "I don't want to bother him."
"I figure he will tell us when he
decides. I'm not going to pressure him."
Although no official announcement had been made, Ross' absence from practice yesterday prompted a Lawrence radio station, KLW-NAM, to announce that he had been dismissed from the team. Owens's statement after practice that no roster change had been made brought a retraction from the station, which said that the original broadcast was "speculation."
No plans had been made for an announcement about Ross' status with the basketball team, despite Maloney's comment that would tell Owens of his decision today.
Ross has entertained thoughts of transferring in the past. At the end of his freshman season, Ross was quoted as saying that he would like to transfer to either Wichita State or Georgia. He said then that he was not getting enough
Peach Bowl possible if injurv-free 'Hawks tip MU
The KU football players faced cold temperatures in Colorado Saturday as they downed the Golden Buffaloes 42-3, but Head Coach Don Fambrough called them to warm, balmy day compared to temperatures at yesterday's practice.
If KU performs well on cold days.
then Saturday's match-up with Missouri may be lucky for the Jayhawks for a number of reasons.
Kervin Win Bell is expected to play against the Tigers. Bell, the tailback who is scheduled in the nation among the top users of the sport, although he played only three quarters
against the Buffs, he still gained 157 yards.
Harry Sydney, fullback, and Dan
Crawford, right, are expected
back for Saturday's game.
"Both toes are banged up," Fambrough said. "The left toe is much improved, but the right one is swollen. But he'll be ready to play."
"That's why I couldn't complain when we lost a player like Kerwin Bell. "Fambridge said. "We've been very, very fortunate."
The KU injury situation was also a bright spot on an otherwise cloudy day. Steve Oliver, offensive tackle, injured his knee against Colorado and is doubtful for Saturday's contest, but he will be the only starter out.
A KU victory Saturday would knock Missouri out of third place in the Big Eight. Possibly with that thought in mind, Athletic Director Bob Marcum traveled to Atlanta yesterday to talk Jayhawk with the Peach Bowl committee. The Peach Bowl is the only bowl with open spots.
committee chairman, said that KU was being considered along with four other teams, Indiana, Stanford, Louisiana State and Miami. Fla. He said an opponent would be chosen after Saturday's games.
The committee already has slated Virginia Tech as a competitor in the 2. game and is reportedly looking at several other schools as well as Kangas.
Carl James, Big Eight commissioner,
said, "If KU wins Saturday they would
finish third in a prestigious conference.
I am pleased that to the Peach Bowl's
attention."

And KU has an impressive road record, 3-0, 2-8,拜赞 Syracuse, Kansas State and Colorado, and tying Oregon and Oklahoma State. A victory Saturday would give the Jayhawks their best record, 5-4-2, since 1975.

"It's so remote that we're not even thinking about it," Fambrough said of a possible bowl bid. "We're not even talking about it. We're looking at the game with the University of Missouri as our bowl game."

"I am going to work hard," he said, "hard enough that the other players on the team will think I should play. I would like to play half the games." We didn't want to start or to start. I want to start a lot as this season goes on and contribute to this team."
If Ross returns to the team, he is expected to contribute at two positions. Owens expects Ross to play point guard when senior Darnell Valentine, KU's player, is not in the game. The 6-foot-7 Ross also will play the big guard position.
Against non-conference foes Ross averaged 17.5 points a game, but he averaged only 8.9 against Big Eight opponents.
Ross was recruited from Wichita South High School as one of the best shooters in the high school ranks. At times last season he showed that touch, but he shot only 14 percent overall. With the leading scorer on the team, behind Valentine. Ross' 'high game was a 30-pointer against Pepperdine.
Woodard dunks on national TV
Woodard appeared on the Today show in New York City yesterday morning and then put on a sidewalk exhibition as part of a promotion for the Manufacturers' Hanover Women's Christmas Basketball Classic.
First before a nationwide television audience and then in front of Madison Square Garden, Kansas All-American Lynette Woodard demonstrated that women basketball players can do the slam dunk, too.
The 6-foot Woodard told NBC sportscaster Bryant Gumbel that dunking the ball is harder for women because of a smaller shoulder. She learned to dunk with smaller balls.
