Football scholarship cut alters recruitment philosophy
A new regulation in collegiate football regarding allocation of scholarships may alter the game more than any change in playing rules possibly could.
The regulation, effective this year, limits the number of freshman scholarships each year to 30. Bigninning in 1977, there will be a limit of 105 scholarships a team.
The Big Eight will be affected more than most conferences. In the past few years, as the conference build up the strength and reach of the nation, the limit of 45 freshman scholarships and no limit on the number of players on a team. Most teams in the division have a varsity team that can earn over 100 players.
University of Kansas coach Don Fambrough, like most coaches, don't ardently support the new rule. He yesterday that asked him to be the first he could urge the rule up.
“It’s something that’s new,” he said. “It’s kind of unfair to pass judgment on it at this moment.”
ALTHOUGH THE MERITS of cutting scholarships by one-third can't yet be seen, there are two fundamental changes that have already been caused: an entirely new approach to recruiting and a gradual filtering in of freshmen in varsity games.
The first point relating to recruitment means that schools will have to be certain of those they give scholarships to. When 4 were allowed, recruiters were able to make up for the loss to prospects in this field a good freshman team. This will no longer be the case.
"This will affect us in our situation in the state of Kansas." Fambrough said.
"because we recruit a lot of players in small towns in western Kansas and we gamble on them."
"From now on we'll be more reluctant to take people from smaller schools that teach history, instead of math."
The scholastic ability of players also will become more important in determining who wins.
"We JUST CAN't afford to take as many borderline people as far as grades are allowed."
when they were recruited. Oklahoma never would have signed Shonel, Shoe or Davis if the 30-limit had been in effect, Switzer said.
Farnbrough said KU now had several payers who wouldn't have been recruited.
"The hardest time in recruiting is to judge the maturity of kids," he said. "I've seen a kid with an attitude who goes to high school and he doesn't improve. Others are good football players in

figure some kids won't make their grades or will become discouraged and quit before graduation.
But mistakes will be made. Judging a marginal prospect will become an even greater risk.
"All in all, it changes the whole philosophy of recruiting. There's a much tougher screening job now than when we used to. We're still very careful to not make many mistakes."
Barry Switzer, University of Oklahoma coach, said all Americans Lacious Selmon and Rod Shoate and quarterback Steve Davis were among the marginal prospects
high school and they improve and become college stars."
FAMBROUGH SAID he had not noticed that the 30-limil rule had been in effect, the competition in recruiting had become more like a school was looking at the same 30 players.
The Jayhawks now have 27 freshmen on scholarship. Of the three remaining scholarships, one went to Norris Banks, who didn’t qualify scholastically and quit school. The other two purposely weren't given, though said, to encourage other people to try out.
costs. Fambrough said that he agreed the reduction in scholarships from 45 to 30 would out costs, but that he thought costs decrease in the other area of recruiting.
"Certainly it will save money on scholarships," he said. "But I can't see that it will cut down on the recruiting budget. Competition will become so that you'll spend more time with prospects, make more recruiting trips and more will be spent. In the long run, it will save money for schools."
THE LEADS TO the second point—increased playing time for freshmen. Farnbrough repeatedly has voiced opposition to letting freshmen play on the varsity level. The 30-limit rule doesn't change his thinking.
"As squads become smaller and smaller, more and more freshmen will be playing," he said. "I still believe the freshman year is one of our toughest years; it is one of the toughest years for any kid going away to school for the first time. This week a lot of our freshmen were having their last soccer games."
The rule was made to reduce athletic
"You might have a kid as a freshman who a year from now can become a tremendous football player. I'm concerned about pushing him too quickly.
"I would love to have a week with our freshmen before our varisity reports. With the new rule, we're going to be to have them. They need time to get established and we will close the gap so they won't be so far behind when they start with the varisity."

Two KU netmen take skill—good will on tour
Roger Morningstar and Dale Greenlee endured a 2,700-mile mountain bus ride, drank Coca-Cola at every meal and battled a national hero on the basketball court as part of a good-will trip to Yugoslavia this summer.
The two returning starters from the KU defending Big Eight and NCAA Midwest Regional basketball champions, toured the U.S. with their Big Eight and Big Eight all-star team. The squad won two of eight exhibition games played against the Yugoslavian national team and four club

UNDER INTERNATIONAL RULES dunking is permitted, and the referee doesn't have to handle the ball after a back touch. The referee has to contact the one than the one used in college basketball.
He said the team members were upset about not winning more games on the tour but it didn't stop him.
"It was a tremendous experience," Morningstar said Tuesday.
"It speeds up the game and provides an added incentive to hustle, beat your man
and get a cheap one," Morningstar said.
It was good experience traveling and playing under the international rules, Greenlee said. Both players agreed that the entire squad had difficulty adjusting to the international rules, which differ in several ways from the United States collegiate rules.
"We liked different parts of the international rules." Morningstar said. "I liked dunking, it was exciting. It's also good for the crowd and adds to the game."
Lopes saved two previous games in the Mexican League World Series and got credit for the victory Wednesday night without allowing a run.
Greenlee said he had felt frustrated because the players had thought they had a good team. He likened the trip to playing at K-State.
The two agree that the game went faster when the referee didn't handle the ball after a turn.
“It’s tough to play on the road,” he said. “It’s tough to play at K-State. You can imagine what it’s like to play in Europe aren’t any friendly faces in the stands.”
Soccer practice set
During the regular season, Lopes led the league in saves with 21 and appearances with 60. He had a 7-7 record and a 2.63 earned run average.
Any KU student may attend and should come prepared to practice.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) -The Kansas City Royals went to the Mexican League again Thursday and bought a veteran right-handed relief pitcher they will hope help them overtake Oakland in a stretch drive to the American West penntain.
Aurelio Lopez, the Royals' choice, was the winning pitcher Wednesday night when the Mexico City Reds won the Mexican League World Series in four straight games.
The Jayhawk representatives to the team disapproved of the wider free-throw lane because it resulted in a high number of three-second violations.

"They had a big, rough team," he said. ONE PLAYER who appeared in nearly every game looked like a lumberjack, Greenlee said.
Greenlee said that when they played in Coscis's hometown, about 1,500 people at the game had worn Brigham Young University jersey numbers. The university historically associated Coscis with basketball.

DEAN NESMITH, KU's trainer, accompanied the squad as trainer. It was Nesmith's second trip to Europe as trainer and he attended the 1960 Olympic basketball team to Rome.
Morningstar and Greenlee said Nesmith took care of the players by seeing to their pre-game meals and telling them what to look out for. Nesmith advised the players not to drink large quantities of water before taking a little of it to see whether it was good.
Both players said they had enjoyed playing exhibition games.
"There was no pressure to win," Greenelea said. "It was a good-will trip and we wanted to have a good time. We were upset with it, but it wasn't like a conference game."
"He was the kind of guy you respect but you can kid aardum with," Greenlee said. "I'm not sure if that is right."
"We didn't play together," he said. "We tended to run and shoot. That's the problem with an all-star team, you play as in games. It was too late when we realized that."
Both players said playing conditions were primitive. Morningstar said they often played on unfinished floors with large gaps in the wood. He also said they played with a rubber ball, unlike the leather ones used at K11
“It’s going to be fun playing against guys we became close to this summer,” he said. “It’s not like playing in the conference team — it’s not get to know the guys on the other team.”

THIS YEAR, whether Farnbrough likes it or not, he'll probably have to play even more freshmen. But luckily, Ku has more players than Farnbrough, and the varsity this year than in several years.
Campfield is listed as the No. 2 tailback behind Laverne Smith. Only Smith has looked better than Campfield during the early practice sessions. If Campfield can learn the complicated, new Veer-T offense, he might push Smith for playing time.

Separation saved our marriage thanks to Marantz speakers.
"Where's the flute Henry?" my wife complained constantly. I was about ready to leave her. Then we saw a Marantz dealer. He told us that separation of sound is a true test of a speaker system. He suggested we put Marantz and
other popular speakers to the test by listening to a familiar recording so we'd be able to hear their voices. We then recorded that makes the difference. Oh, what a difference Marzant made! What we thought were twooes were clearly an oob and a oob, which means our shop集体 well, they're a较亮 a quitter.
The proof is in the listening. And that's where Marantz design concepts come into play. The transducers in Marantz speakers synergy with the microphone to provide continuous power, so you get distortion-free.
