Duncan, Green bolster running game

Daniel Coke, sophomore running back, looks for a hole in the defense during a scrimmage at Memorial Stadium yesterday.
Duncan finished his afternoon with 36 vards on five carries.
After a start that saw Kansas' starting offense manage only nine yards on its first six plays in yesterday's scrimmage at Memorial Stadium, starting sophomore running back Reggie Duncan got angry. The next two times he touched the football, the 5-foot-9, 202-pound barreled through several Jayhawk defenders for 26 yards.
"Coach (Jay) Johnson always tells us to get the offense going; he says that we are the catalysts." Duncan said. "The first series wasn't good at all. That second series, the coaching staff sat us down. The rest is history. We went and scored like we were supposed to."
On third-and-eight from the 8-yard line, sophomore quarterback Zach Dyer hooked up with senior wide receiver Termaine Fulton at the goal line. He shimmied around cornerback Andrew Davison for the first touchdown of the scrimmage.
Despite nursing a tender right shoulder and elbow, Dyer was 6-of-10 passing for 55 yards and an interception to go along with his touchdown. He said he felt much more comfortable throwing the ball after resting his arm during the second half of Tuesday's afternoon practice.
"I told the coaches it really started to hurt me after it started throbbing, so I threw some ice on it yesterday on the field," Dyer said of his passing arm. "But I felt like I was a little more accurate today. I had more zip on the ball. In general, I was pleased."
Coach Terry Allen said he was also satisfied even though his offensive starters ran only 24 of the day's entire 79 plays. He said the starting Jayhawk defense did stifle the team's new-look offense which featured more shotgun sets and no huddle formations.
"We were going nine-play segments, and I think the first nine plays that the defense did not allow a first down," Allen said. "The next time the ones came in against the ones, the

offense took it 10 or 11 plays and scored.
"From a head coach's perspective you like to see that."
NOTES
A long way back to the top
Redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Long, once a highly-touted recruit from Iowa City, Iowa, continues to struggle with the new offense. After being replaced by junior Jonas Weatherbie for the No. 3 slot, Long saw his first action on the scrimmage's 51st play. Despite going 1-of-5 passing for 12 yards, he said he remained uplifted.
"I can't be negative," Long said.
"There's a lot of room for me to
improve, but I think my time will come."
Green pastures for true freshman
Green pastures for true freshman One of the surprises from yesterday's scrimmage was Tampa, Fla., freshman running back Clark Green. Even though sophomore Dan Coke is Duncan's solidified backup, Green helped his cause for playing time by rushing for a game-high 40 yards on six carries.
"The other guy (Coke and sophomore Harold McClendon) have an edge on me because I am a true freshman," Green said. "I am hoping I get a chance."

Frederick: Ex-AD keeps old salary
Hemenway declined to comment on whether Frederick's pay was equitable with that of other education faculty members.
Frederick said no education faculty member had approached him about his salary or how it compared to the average education faculty member's salary.
"It's really not something that I've discussed with anyone," Frederick said. "Normally, people don't talk about other people's salaries."
Frederick said his university relations work will include public speaking and making public appearances on behalf of the University.
"I don't know how well defined that is," Frederick said of his duties in addition to teaching.
Lumpkin said the school recently compiled average salary figures for full professors, assistant professors and associate professors to participate in a national survey.
The school's 36 full professors earn an average of $69,256. Twenty-nine associate professors average $53,909 a year, and 12 assistant professors have an average salary of $45,729. Frederick's salary is not included in any of those averages because he is not paid out of the school's budget.
According to the University budget for the fiscal year that ended June 30, the salaries of just three education faculty members exceeded $100,000. Two earned six-figure salaries because of additional compensation for duties as senior scientists at the Institute for Life Span Studies. A third was a department director.
Frederick will teach HSES 801, Facilities for Physical Education, Athletics and Recreation, and HSES 630, Sport Law. Both are three-credit-hour courses. According to KU Enrollment Center data checked Wednesday, Sport Law was enrolled to capacity at 50 students, and 23 of 50 seats were taken in Frederick's facilities class.
Frederick resigned as Kansas athletics director June 50 after 14 years at the helm.

New building to open in Fall '02
By Jessica Scott Kansan sportswriter
After years of wishful thinking, Kansas student athletes will finally receive what they've been waiting for a new training facility.
California real estate investor and Kansas alum Dana Anderson is expected to announce Friday his $4 million donation to help build an $8.5 million weight room and indoor track.
Dubbed the Anderson Strength Center, the new building is expected to open in the Fall of 2002.
John Scarffe, communications director for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said the University was seeking donations to pay for the remaining portion of the construction costs.
"We will continue to do fund raising for it," Scarffe said.
The new center is slated to be built at the northwest corner of Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Kansas' current facility, the Shaffer-Holland Strength Center,has the smallest strength and conditioning center in the Big 12 Conference.
"We will continue to do fund raising for it."

The two-story Anderson center will cover 15,000 square feet and includes a weight room, a cardiovascular training area and an indoor track.
Doug Vance, sports information director, said the center would be available to more than 500 student athletes.
Kansas football coach Terry Allen said he was grateful to the entire Anderson family for the donation.
"It's fantastic," Kansas football coach Terry Allen said Tuesday. "We appreciate Dana and Sue
Anderson and Justin. Allen said, "They've given so much to this University and our athletics department. To get the ground broken on the weight room is something we've been waiting five years for."
Anderson will speak at a press conference at 1:30 p.m. Friday in Hadl Auditorium at the Wagnon Student Athlete Center.
