Clayton back from knee injury; Jayhawks prepare for 'Huskers
Kansas linebacker Rick Clayton, who bruised a knee in practice Monday, returned to workouts yesterday.
Clayton is seventh on the KU football team with 51 tackles, four of which have been for losses.
Defensive end Teddy Newman, who had 14 tackles against Colorado, was at half speed yesterday. Newman is recovering from a hip pointer which he suffered against the Buffaloes.
"He is playing really well for us," head coach Bob Valezene said after practice. "I hope he is ready by Saturday, but he has really been slowed by this injury."
Patches of ice covered the field at Memorial Stadium of the Jayhawks continued preparations for the game against the sixth-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers.
"It was good for us to get out and practice in these conditions," Valesente said. "We needed to work on our timing."
of thriving.
Valesente said the Cornhuskers would have an advantage if the game was played in the wintery weather.
Nebraka has a power-type offense as well as an option attack, Valesente said. The Jayhawk offense would lose a lot of its passing effectiveness because a slippery field makes it harder to cut up field.
Smith might return to Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Outfielder Lomie Smith, who with bonuses got $900,000 from the Kansas City Royals last season, is welcome to return in 1987 if he's willing to take a pay cut.
While Smith declared for free agency Monday, he hinted a willingness to make a deal that would keep him in a Royals' uniform, even if it did not include the $950,000 salary called for under the option year of his three-year contract.
That contract was signed in January of 1985 while Smith was with the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Royals don't take up the option. General manager John Schuerholz said the team would pay Smith $200,000 for the buy-out clause in his contract and would try to negotiate a one-year deal with him.
"We would not extend his contract, so his free agency was expected." Schuerholz said. "We'd like to have him back, but it's too early in the negotiations to know if we will. If we lose him to free agency, we'll have to look elsewhere for help."
"I'm sure there's a figure we can both be happy with," Smith said in a telephone interview. "I'd love to return, but it's entirely up to them. I don't have any reason to leave. I'm just hoping to get myself a little security."
Schuerholz said Smith, a lifetime. 291 hitter whose defensive liabilities could see him moved to designated hitter if he was re-signed, "played very well" in 1986 and "is capable of playing as well, if not better, all next year."
After a slow start, Smith hit .361 from Aug. 10 to the end of the season, finishing with a .287 average.
Smith was the fifth-highest paid player on the team last season, behind George Brett, Willie Wilson, Dan Quisenberry and Bret Saberhagen.
He is the fifth Royal to file for free agency. Others are outfieldier Rudy Law, utility man Jamie Quirk, outfieldier Lynn Jones and shortstop Onix Concepcion. Schuerholz said only Law and Quirk would be offered contracts.
Rose won't be on winter roster
CINCINNATI — Pete Rose, the player-manager of the Cincinnati Reds and baseball's all-time leader in hits with a record 4,256, removed himself yesterday from the club's 40-man winter roster, making him ineligible to play until May 15 next season.
"This is not a retirement," said Reds general manager Bill Bergesch. "Maybe we're not seeing the end of Pete Rose at all. I hope not."
According to baseball rules, if a club chooses to remove one of its players from the 40-man winter roster, that player can't return to the active roster until at least May 15.
Rose, 45, who will continue to manage the team no matter what his playing status, didn't play the final seven weeks of the 1986 season.
"Pete is not retiring," said Reds spokesman Jon Braude. "He will participate in spring training as a player and will be eligible to play in the regular season anytime after May 15.
"But, by taking himself off the winter roster, he permits the club to protect a young player. Pete, of course, will continue managing the club."
The young player that Rose gave up his roster spot for was pitcher Pat Pacilio, a member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic baseball team. Pacilio previously had a Reds' roster exemption because he played on the Olympic team, but the Players Association had threatened a grievance to make Pacilio a free agent if he wasn't on the major league roster. Bergesch said leaving Pacilio off the roster was too big a gamble to take.
"We didn't want to lose the best prospect in the organization," Bergesch said. "We just didn't want to take a chance with him."
Next season will mark the second straight year that Rose is ineligible to play early games. Last year, because of a prolonged illness at spring training, Rose placed himself on the disabled list April 3 and didn't activate himself until April 23.
Rose, who broke Ty Cobb's career hit record of 4,191 late in the 1985 season, only had 52 hits in 23 at-bats last season for a .219 average. Rose's future as a player probably will be mainly as a pinch-hitter.
Yeoman steps down at Houston
HOUSTON — Bill Yeoman, who 22 years ago invented the veer offense that catapulted the Houston Cougars into national prominence, yesterday announced he was stepping down as head football coach at the end of the season.
Yeoman, 58, will complete his 25th season at Houston, then assume an administrative position to raise funds for the athletic department.
"It's imperative that we increase our financial base, so to speak," Yeeman said. "From a recruiting standpoint, from someone who's been out on the streets the last few years, it is imperative that we put some facilities up that will be competitive with the rest of our folks here in the state."
Youman's first project will be the $6.5 million football building approved by the school's regents as an annex to Robertson Stadium on the university's campus. Little progress has been made in raising funds for the project, which is part of an expected move to stop playing football games at the Astrodome and return to campus.
Yeoman, who next year will be president of the American Football Coaches Association, guided the Cougars to four Cotton Bowl appearance and seven other bowl games. His coaching record, 160-106-8, is the fourth best among active coaches in intercollegiate football.
He is in the second year of a five-year, $103,000-per-year contract, which was given to him after the Cougars' 1984 Cotton Bowl appearance. Since then, the Cougars slumped to 4-7 in 1985, and this season are 1-8 overall and 0-6 in the Southwest Conference, their worst record since 1975.
This year's team lost two dozen players before the opening game because of academic problems, disciplinary matters and other reasons.
Last spring, more than 20 former players alleged they had received money and other benefits from Yeoman and his assistants, and an NCAA representative was on the campus two weeks ago.
Perry to coach college baseball
GAFNEY, S.C. — Gaylord Perry, who tainted hitters for 22 major-league seasons with "doctored" pitches, yesterday was named the first head baseball coach at Limestone College.
"When the school first called, I didn't know if they were serious," said Perry, who three months ago declared bankruptcy on his 400-acre peanut and soybean farm. "But I looked at the school several times and got more and more excited."
Perry, 48, who played with eight different teams in his career, retired in 1983 with a 314-265 record. The former right-hander is one of 1930-game winners, and the only pitcher to win the Cy Young award in both leagues. He ranks third on the all-time list in strikeouts, with 3,534, and fourth in innings pitched.
Perry, who co-wrote a book entitled "Me and the Spitter," said many major-leaguers still use the illegal pitch. "They just call it a split-finger fastball now," he said.
He filed for protection from creditors in August, and court documents showed that his $1.1 million Williamston farm was saddled with $1.2 million in debt. Since the farm failure, Perry has worked as the regional sales manager for Fiesta Foods, a Texas manufacturer of Mexican food products.

FREMANTLE, Australia — Great Britain's White Crusader upset Dennis Conner's Stars & Stripes by more than two minutes in America's Cup challenger competition yesterday.
U.S. yacht 3rd in race
United Press International
"We don't want to get overly excited about the win, but it was an important psychological barrier," said Crusader helmsman Chris Lawn.
Law's yacht had a 2-minute, 18-second margin over Conner, who defended and lost to Australia in the 1983 America's Cup competition.
White Crusader overcame Conner's edge at the start to pick up the slight shifts in the six-knot southwesterly winds. The British entry has accumulated 38 points and is only three points behind the San Diego Yacht Club's Conner, who is clinging to third place in the challenger standings.
New Zealand's KZT notched its 20th victory against one loss to tighten its grip on the No.1 spot with a 1:25 victory over Tom Blackaller's double-rudered USA, which dropped to sixth with a 13-8 record.
The course was shortened from 24.5 miles to 10 because of the lack of wind, and second-place New York Yacht Club's American II, 19-2, was only four points behind the Kiwi's 56 after an easy 3:16 romp over Challenge France, which was in last place at 2-18.
It was the second straight day that Conner, 17-4, was foiled by meager winds on calm waters, although he managed to eke out a slim victory Monday over Azurra.
"We had a hard time against a good light-wind boat," Stars & Stripes spokesman Robert Hopkins said of White Crusader. "On days like this you'd like to see the race go on forever."
White Crusader skipper Harold Cudmore, 14-7, never gave Conner a chance to slip by, expanding a 44-second lead on the first windward leg to 1:17.
Only two races remain in the second round of challenger matches before the point total for victories is increased from five to 12 in preparation for the Dec. 28 semifinals among the top four challengers.
