Recruiting charge denied
By MIKE FITZGERALD

Bud Moore, University of Kansas football coach, denied allegations made Thursday in a Topeka newspaper that KU football recruiting methods were making few
The newspaper quoted high school coaches as saying that Moore and his staff weren't recruiting very well and weren't interested in high school athletes in Kansas.

The newspaper also said Moore and his

football coach at Wichita Southeast High School, as saying that KU wasn't handling the recruiting of two of Southeast's players, Rob Houchin and Lacy Guice, very well and that Kansas State would probably sign the two.
"The newspaper played the story up," Davie said. "A reporter talked with me for a while on the phone and I wasn't even aware he was going to write up in the paper."
The newspaper quoted Jim Davie, head

After KU's 72-44 devastation of Nebraska Wednesday night, Owens praised his squad for the tremendous enthusiasm displayed throughout the game.

Owens said Norm Cook would return to the starting lineup for KU. Cook did not start against Nebraska Wednesday for the first time in his college career. Owens started Ken Koeniga instead because of a recent slump Cook had been in.

WSU wants tourney with 'Hawks, K-State
The University of Kansas hasn't decided whether to accept an offer to compete in a Sunflower Classic basketball tournament with Wichita State and Kansas State, Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director, said Wednesday.
The offer was extended by WSU's athletic director, Ted Delebetho, who proposed a round-robin classic in which KU, KState and WSU would each play the two other schools in Wichita's Henry Levitt Arena.
Bredehoft reportedly has guaranteed each school $6,500 for two games each. He said the figure could go higher if a game were played in the conference and a regional telecast was arranged.
Waugh said KU had a guarantee for
Intramural crowds absent
The first of 451 intramural basketball games were played Wednesday in Robinson Gymnastium before empty stands. This is the first time a gymnast will be banned from intramural games.
Bob Lockwood, director of men's intramurals, said Thursday that the nso spectators policy was adopted last year to prevent incidents involving spectators and players.
"I am not in favor of having to do this," Lockwood said, "but I feel that it is something that has to be done. I've moved the school to Big Eagle schools that have had problems withicks."
Lockwood said there was a possibility that spectators would be allowed during the hurdle race.
anywhere from $1,500 to $0,900 for a regular
game and WSU's WU offer was well above
$1,500.
The athletic directors of the three schools have yet to discuss the proposal, Waugh says.
Tentative plans call for the semi-finals and finals of the playoffs to be played in Allen Field House, where spectators would watch if everything worked out, Lockwood said.
Waugh said KU had to consider several factors before making a decision, including the possibility of playing K's-state four times in the same season and whether WSU's revenue would be more or less than the revenue KU would lose by giving up two home games.
Waugh said that KU would have been better off financially this year if it had not played Northeast Missouri State and East Tennessee had played in the proclaimed classic.
Other factors that would be considered, Waugh said, were the feelings of coach Ted Owens and the student body, and a possible loss if the Hawks played Wichita State.
"What do we get out of it if they beat us?" Waugh said. "We're not in the business to please them. That's a fact of life. We're not to give them any advantages."

Waugh said that KU wouldn't cancel any games with Indiana, Notre Dame or Kentucky, three of the teams on the 1975-76 schedule, of which he was part. When awarded him, the said, a couple of minor schools with which scheduling has not yet been completed could be dropped.
way KU had handled recruitment of his players.
"I was kind of upset that none of the KU coaches or assistants had visited our high school," Davie said. "If they were interested, then they should have come down here. They called us on the phone twice and that was all."
Davie said Moore called Thursday afternoon, after Moore had read the newspaper, to apologize for not coming down to see the Southeast players and

play with the same spirit would be a key to victory over the Sooners.
"We have to play with the kind of enthusiasm we played with the other night," Owens said. "It's an absolute must."
Oklaham got 32 points and 15 rebounds in its all-big Eight center, Adam Alams, of Oklahoma.
The win gave the Sooners'a season record of 5-0 and its second conference victory over Oklahoma State.

Swimming coach confident team will sink Nebraska
The KU swimming team will be in Nebraska Saturday for a dual meet with the Cornhuskers, and KU coach Dick Reamon is greeting the team with a yawn.
"Nebraska has been the doormart of the conference for years and will be last again."
"But I'm glad we have the meet because we need to help Nebraska."
Reamon said the Nebraska swimming team had been having problems because of an inadequate pool. The pool is the worst one in the Big Eight, he said, and it discourages teams from scheduling meets at Lincoln.

"There isn't an event that we could t win and some we could go one-two-three in, but we have no interest in burying them," he said. Only 12 of the 18 KU team members will move to make. Reamon will use the me to determine three events for some. Jehawk swimmers.
