Volleyball team spikes Benedictine
While the KU volleyball team may not be No. 1, a lot of the things that happened in its victory over Benedictine last night in Atchison were firsts.
Lorie Erickson, a freshman from Perry-Leptonm High School, started her first game of the season. She was the top scorer for Bob Lockwood said, made her the first freshman captain.
Shelly Fox, a senior center, was able to play in her first game of the season despite injury problems.
It all totaled up to 15-14, 16-14, 11-15, 15-13
victory to raise the Jahawhys' record to 8-3-1.
Lockwood said that he was particularly pleased with the play of Deanna Busch and Erickson.
"Buchd was an outstanding job of blocking and in the back court, and Erickson had an outstanding series of games." Lockwood said. "They really led us to victory."
The team plays again this weekend in the
eight-season Husker Invitational in Lincoln,
Nep. The first match is 1:30 p.m. Friday.
"It was a really good tune-up for this weekend," Lockwood said. "Our team did an exceptional job of blocking and we have some success in doing everything we've been working on all week long."
"It will be nice to challenge Nebraska again now that we're in better condition," Lock-
KU's first match in the Husker Invitational will be against Nebraska, the defending Big Eight champions. The Cornhuskens defeated the Jayhawks in Lincoln earlier this season.
one other competitors in the tournament are regional champions Southwest Missouri, Big Eight runner-up Oldham, Minnesota, Michigan, Kansas State and Iowa State.
"Aside from the regional championships in "November, this will be the top tournament of the season for us. We woodsaid." "There we'll learn a lot from these two days."
Old-timers suit up one more time
Kansas has its first old-timers baseball
game at 2:3m. today at Quigley Field.
The best KU players from the past 30 years will again wear the crimson and the blue. The teams will be evenly divided with recent players and old-timers.
Some of the former standouts are Floyd Temple, KU's present baseball coach; John Riggins, former NLP running back; Franklin Burns, former NLP running back; and Biff Tempo, the coach's son.
Bob Allison, star outfitter with the Minnesota Twins for a dozen years, is a possible
player. He would have to come from the Twin Cities.
Because of other commitments, three of KU's best won't be able to attend. They are Steve Renko, who is finishing the season with the Boston Red Sox; Dave Robie, who is at NBA camp with the Cleveland Cavaliers; and Skin James, who is playing baseball in Japan.
There will be bleachers for spectators.
Haskell Indian Junior College is lending the baseball team bleachers because its team is in Memorial Stadium for football season.
Cross-country teams sponsor meets
KU's men and women's cross-country teams have meets this weekend. The men will run a dual against Southern Illinois tomorrow at Lawrence Country Club. The women will sponsor the KU Invitational Saturday at the country club.
Both teams will be hoping to improve on second-place finishes last weekend.
the men also finished second to Kansas State in the KSU Invitational in Manhattan. KUl lost by only five points.
The women finished second to Kansas State in Manhattan.
Cards need confidence boost
BY JEREMY MCKENZIE
Louisville Cardinal Sports Editor
LOUISVILLE, KY.—With expectations to the University of Miami, Fla., and Florida State, Louisville hosted Murray State at Fairgrounds Stadium last week expecting to break into the
By TIM JAMIOLKOWSKI
Instead, the Cardinals were dealt both a 13-9 defeat and a blow to their confidence.
"Our problem is doubt right now," first-year head coach Bob Weber said. "Our problem is to get the players to bounce emotionally, convince them that they will get a taste of success."
USING A PRO-TO set offence this season, the Cardinals will rely heavily on the talents of quarterbacks Pat Patterson and Scott Gannon, flanker Kenny Robinson and wide receiver Mark Kannan.
in three games, Louisville has been held to just 356 total offensive yards. Starting running backs Be Haden and Greg Hickman have combined for 160 rushing yards.
"The offense has taken a lot longer than we hooped for, a lot longer than I promised," Weher
THE DEFENSE IS anchored by 6-foot-2, 128-pound linebacker Eddie Johnson. The All-America candidate already has 43 tackles, and, to Weber, "is the hub of the Louvainville defense."
said, "We've got something going on defense, we just need to get it going on offense."
Also a factor on the Louisville defense in 6-5, 232 pound linebacker Jay Trautwein. It was his 55-yard run of a Miami interception that needed Louisville's lone touchdown this season.
It's been a season of frustration thus far for Louville. Going into the locker room with a 10-lead in the opener against Miami, the Cardinals had to win on the road. They did so by the door open for Miami to record a 24-10 victory.
The following week saw the Cardinals traveling to Tallahassee to face Florida State. Before they knew what was happening, the team headed to a 7-2 lead on their way to a 5-20 thrashing.
FACING THE DEFINING Ohio Valley Conference champion Murray State, Louisville may have to play against the MVP. Murray ran the ball in the 1-yard line giving it a 13-9 final cushion. Although
Louisville produced a spirited final drive, it ended short of the goal line and the Cardinals' first season victory.
Heading into Saturday's match with Kansas, Weber is optimistic.
for Louisville, it may come down to which team is the hungriest to break into the win.
weber is spatial, his physionome is very similar to Miami both physically and defensively," Weber said. "I believe we have a good chance against them. Kenny Robinson was injured on the first play of the season and his injury was the key which hurt our start. But Kenny is better now."
JAYHAWKS NOTES | Freshman linebacker
Arbina Martens will start in Saturday's of Kyle
Tucker.
Arbans is the son of former All-Pro light and Fred Arbans of the Kansas City Chiefs.
McNorton. McNorton is out with a mild concussion. He also suffered heat exhaustion in last Saturday's 18-3 loss to Pittsburgh.
In this week's NCAA statistics, puncher Bucky Scribner is second. Kansas is also third in net punting, which is punting 48.2 yards per net average, 41.4 yard net average, Arkansas has a 50.5 average.
Winn whiffs with sports violence bill
Larry Winn wants to become an umpire for baseball and he will be a referee for basketball and lineman for hockey.
The unanswered question is why a Republican congressman running for re-election wants to wear the uniforms of professional sports' officials.
Ninn, who represents the 3rd District, which includes Lawrence, is a coponsider of the Sports Violence Act of 1980. The bill would make it a felony for a person to commit an assault in excessive violence during a sporting event.
with another law, and it will be a hard one to enforce. Even Winn says the bill is vague.
At the end of August, Winn became the first cosponsor for the Sports Violence Act. He not only jumped on the election-year bandwagon of proposing needless legislation, he led the way.
MAYBE WINN pictures himself as a legislative good guy保护pro athletes from themselves. But he is actually a Big Brother who can arena free from government over-kill control.
"Admittedly, the distinction between natural contact and excessive contact in a rugged sport is difficult to ascertain," Winn said in a prepared
Winn's proposal simply burdens the country
Pro sports do not need a national law to limit excessive violence. If the players' unions and club owners cannot do it, then local and state criminal laws are more than sufficient to handle
statement when he cohesion the bill. "This law is not designed to take away any of the qualities that make professional sports attractive. When the contact becomes expressively violent."
IT DOES SEEM strange, however, that Winn is cosponsoring a sports violence bill. Kansas only has two professional teams, an indoor soccer team in Wichita and a minor league baseball team in Wichita. Neither are in Winn's district.
County, whose many residents attend Kansas City Chiefs' games. The only other football team in his district is the Kansas Jayhawks Neither team is known for its violent nature.
Congressmen from the state of wheat and sunflowers show their parity and parity of punches and stuff arms.
Winn's district includes affluent Johnson
WNN'S BILL should come under fire because it is a hazy piece of bad legislation that interferes unnecessarily with pro sports, its athletes and its fans.
It is worse than the last time one of Kansas' public servants tried to legislate sports. Two years ago in the Kansas legislature, Rep. Mike Meacham, R-Wichita, proposed that KU and Kansas State be forced to play Wichita State in football and basketball.
That bill, like several others that preceded it, was defeated. Meacham's bill received the "canine award," a can of dog food and a dog leash, from several of his colleagues.
WINN SHOULDN'T BE given a can of dog food or a leash. A collar would be better, the same collar that he wants to chain on pro sports.
The collar should keep him and his Big Brother brethren from sticking their necks where they are not needed.
