Nomad Scribner goes it alone during practices, during games
By GENE MYERS
Sports Editor
Bucky Scrickler is a punter, a football nomad. Most of his football days, games and practices, are spent wandering about.
He's his own boss. He's his own coach. He's his own cheerleader. He's his own critic.
Fewer than 15 minutes out of every practice Scriner has something to do. The rest of practice he's on his own.
"I get a lot of crop from the team," Scribner says. "They say I don't have to work. But it would be still for me to work. I could give my leg lag bumped up."
"I give them a hard time, too. I say that the mental pressure is too much to handle. I say that I have too much brains to be basking in my head."
SCRIBNER HAS BEEN a football nomad ever since he left Lawrence High School three years ago. His first
stop was Pratt County Community College in Pratt. He became a juco Ali-American and earned a scholarship to KU.
But last season he was redshirted just "sat around." Now, he is expected to fill the punts prints of Mike Hubach, who has gone on to the pros.
But Scriber's nomadic past has made a few problems for the present.
"The coaches here want me to concentrate more on height," Scribner said. "At Pratt, my only goal was to kick my way out of there and to get a few more points in training. I impress everyone with an impressive punting average."
Scribner's left leg is a vital part of KU's plans for the season. He was supposed to have spent last season as a coach, and then, learning the collegiate punt trade.
"I SPENT LAST season getting fat," Scribner said. "I put in all my time and money to do that."
much for a punter to do. I basically kept Hubleie and shagged his pants.
"I was a nobody last year. I left an

returned a nobody. It was kind of nice.
The apprenticeship is now over and in its place is a pressure to perform. Scrcriber averaged 45 yards a pint in a competition with the other players. Don Fambridge was still not pleased.
"He was OK at times," Fambrigh said. "But he needs hang time on each punt. He must learn that he cannot kick over the opponents' heads anymore."
IN JUNIOR COLLEGE, he could boot the ball over heads. The opposition would line up 35 to 40 yards off the line and hit him. He said, and then watch the ball sail past.
"I'm in a rut. I've kicked long for so long," Scrierain said. "If I can kick the ball over their heads and it hits the ground, that's all right. But if it doesn't hit the ground that puts too much pressure on the rest of the team. And in
the big Eight, the players are so darn quick that you can't do it."
On the practice field, however,
Scribner is still a nomad. He works with
the coverage teams. Punts a little.
Watches.
"I just jog a little," he said. "I also stretch a little. A punter can't get enough stretching."
ON GAME DAYS he will remain a nomad. He will wander the sidelines until he is needed.
"The coaches don't tell me anything," he said. "It is obvious what I need to do. Where to kick the ball is up to me.
"When I go in to check the deep backs I check the overload and see whether there will be a rush and whether we have the rush covered.
'I can't hear anything except the center and whoever is calling signals. I don't see a rush but I feel it. Then, I drop the ball and boot it.'
Baseball team pursues batgirls
KU's baseball team wants batgirls for the 1980-81 season. Interested women should meet at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the press box area on the second floor of Allen Field House.
Barb Brow, spokesman for the batgirls, said that members of the team and coaching staff would interview applicants.

Two great comedies from Eating Studiens. The first stars Alec Guinness as a mild-mannered but resilient destructive fabric—only to find that's the last thing the world wants.

Both directed by Alexander Macken-dick. (8/52)m 8:12 W; B-7:30.

The Yankees, who have led the Baltimore Orioles by three games or less for the last two weeks, beat the Oakland A's 6-1 in New York. Bobby Brown, who is replacing injured Rupert Hunt, a former hero to lead the Yankee offense.

Lowenstein's blast, his third home run of the season, came off弱 Jim Beattie, 4-13. A Bumphy led off with a single and stole second. Eddie Murray walked even though there were two outs. Lowenstein homered. So did Graham.
In the American League West, the Kansas City Royals had the day off. Texas, who has crept past Oakland for second place, won last night to keep the Royals' magic number at 12. The magic number is the combination of Kansas
City victories and Texas losses that warrant mathematically the title for the Rowsy.
