The Coaches
Game Notes
KU's last shutout over Colorado was Nov. 14, 1981 with a 27-0 score. KU list seven native Coloradoaons on its roster. KU defensive end Phil Forte now has career total of 201 tackles, just one short of John Zook, whose 202 total stops puts him in 20th place on KU's all-time tackle chart. Place kicker Mac Smith "51 yard field goal was the longest of his career." Rick Badenes, linebacker, now has 321 career tackles which places him on all the time KU tackling chart.
Iniury Update
Colorado: Quarterback Mark Hatzer, right shoulder bruise, is probable. Cornerback David Tate, deep thigh bruise, is questionable and Drew Ferrando, spit end, suffered a shoulder contusion in the Nebraska game and missed Oklahoma State: he remains questionable. Kansas: left tackle Jim Davis, knee injury; Mark Henderson, fullback, neck strain, and Mike Long, linebacker, knee injury, will not play. David White, defensive end, is questionable with a knee injury.
Valesente decides to make change; freshman Donohoe to start for Orth

Kelly Donohoe, nicknamed "Flutie" after the 5-foot-1$^{2}$ 1984 Heisman Trophy winner, earned that name because of his height. KU head coach Mike Valesente announced yesterday that Donohoe would replace Mike Orth at quarterback. It will be his first collegiate game.
The coaches and Donohoe had originally hoped for him to redshirt
"I really had not anticipated this at all." Donohoe said yesterday. "Oklahoma was a big scare because I wasn't ready."
The Jayhawks have been stuck in an offensive slump. In the past four games, Kansas has scored only 31 total points — six fewer points than Oklahoma scored in the third quarter alone Saturday.
Donoho almost saw action against Oklahoma when Orth suffered an arm injury, but Orth returned to the game after a time-out.
"Coach Val called me in Monday and said to always be ready." Donoho said. "Then, Wednesday before practice he called me in and said he felt I was ready to play. He knows I wanted to redshift but I know the team comes first. I'm happy and excited with the situation."
Valesente said he was looking for something that would rouse Kansas from its four-game losing streak.
The lack of offense spurred Valesete to the quarterback change, the most radical switch he has made all season.
Donoho will see action against the Buffalooes, who are currently tied with Oklahoma for first place in the Big Eight Conference with a 4-0 record. Colorado has defeated Missouri, Iowa State, Nebraska and Oklahoma State so far this season after losing its four non-conference games.
Defensive end Phil Forte said Colorado deserved a lot of respect for the turn-around.
"This change shouldn't reflect poorly on Mike (Orth)," Valesene said. "I don't know what's going to happen. I'll do whatever it takes to win."

Wide receiver John Brehm said, "If you look at the overall records, we 3-8 and they are 4-4. It's just a small difference," he said. "Always always give Colorado a tough game."
"They came back out to win four big games," Forte said. "They have got to be feeling great."
Kelly Donohoe, Kansas quarterback, will be calling the plays tomorrow in Boulder when the Jayhawks take on Colorado. Head coach Bob Valesente decided to replace Mike Orth with Donohoe as starting quarterback
The transition from Orth to Danhohe should be smooth. Bremm said.
"Kelly's had a good week of practice." Brehm said. "I see no problem. We're all behind him."
After the initial shock of the change, wide receiver Ronnie Caldwell said the only adjustment to Dohoneo the receivers would have to make was because of the quarterbacks' height.
"When you turn around and look, you can easily see Mike because he's so tall," Caldwell said. "With Kelly, all you see is the ball coming at you."
Colorado junior quarterback Mark Hatcher stands just 6-feet but has 1,043 career yards rushing to give him the second best record in Colorado history.
Dohoneo is listed at an exaggerated 6.1, whereas Orths is 6.5.
Offensively, Colorado has finally come alive after suffering through the non-conference schedule. The Buffaloes have rushed for 1,940 yards in their last four games, as well as for 10 touchdowns. In the four non-conference games, the Buffalo wishbone offense produced 859 yards rushing. Colorado has completed 50 percent of its passes, 33 of 66, and averages 18.8 yards per completion.
This will be the second time this season Kansas will have confronted a wishbone offense; the first was last week against Oklahoma, when the Jayhawk defense gave up 566 yards rushing.
"We have been practicing the wishbone for a week so we should be better against Colorado," said strong safety Jamey Steinhaer. "I want to go out on a good note. We will have to play well and play with character."
The Buffalo defense in the last four games has allowed their opponents only 317 yards rushing, averaging barely two yards a carry. Colorado has intercepted a pass in six consecutive games, with nine interceptions so far this season.
The Buffaloes, with their 4+ con-
ference record, are looking for a bowl hit.
"The Kansas game is very important for us, it stands between us and being 5 in going into the Oklahoma game," Colorado head coach Bill McCartney said. "It puts us into position for a winning season."
Kansas is beyond hope for a bowl bid, with its 4-0 Big Eight record. Valesente has turned his hopes toward finishing the season with a
healthy team. Kansas has been plagued with injuries since the first day of practice and, as a result, has not started the same offensive lineup two games in a row.
"Because of the injury situation at the present time," Valesente said, "my first concern is being aware of the course that Ralphie (CU's live buffalo mascot) plans to take on his initial tour around the field during pre-game. Once that's been established, we will concentrate on the game."
Kansas beats WIU in straight games
By JANE ZACHMAN
A positive attitude and the determination to win got the Kansas volleyball team through another match.
The Jayhawks beat the Western Illinois Leathernecks in three games, 15-10, 15-15, 16-11, last night in Allen Field House.

"We expected to win and came out and played our game," outside hitter Judy Desch said after the match.
In the first game, the two teams traded points until they were tied at 9-9. After KU head coach Frankie Albitz called a time out to regroup, the Jayhawks took a 12-9 lead before giving Western Illinois its final point and won the game 15-10.
The Leathernecks won the first two points of the second game, but at 3-3 the Jayhawks took over and scored nine straight points, making the score 12-3. Western Illinois squeezed in three more points before outside hitter Catalina Suarez put down two unreturned spikes for the final two
points, giving Kansas the game at 15-6.
The Leathernecks scored four unanswered points at the beginning of the third game, but the Jayhawks came back and tie the score at 4-4. The two teams alternated points until they were tied once again at 10-10. Western Illinois won the next point, then the Jayhawks came back with a spike from Desch, two from middle blocker Tammy Hill and two spikes and a dink over the net from Suarez and won the game 15-11.
Many of the Kansas players said that the weekend win at the Sandblaster Invitational Tournament in Gainesville, Fla., helped the team go into the match with a positive attitude.
"I think we were so up from this weekend that we played really well," said setter Monica Spencer.
Suarez led the Kansas offense with 12 kills followed by Hill with ten and Desch with nine.
The Jayhawk hitters gave credit to Spencer for setting up the offense with 27 assists.
"She's like the quarterback of the team." Desch said.

A paraplegic's determination leads him to finish marathon
United Press International
He did it without any legs. He did it on his knuckles, swinging his body forward at 3 feet at a time — about 46,000 swings to complete the 26 miles and 385 yards.
NEW YORK — It took Gianni Poli 2 hours, 11 minutes and 26 seconds to win sunward's New York marathon. Boc Wieland finished Thursday. It took him 4 days, 2 hours, 48 minutes and 17 seconds.
The Pasadena, Calif., physical education instructor had already proved himself in a four-year, 2,800-mile trek across America he completed in May that raised $215,000 for world hunger.
Wieland, a Vietnam veteran whose legs were blown off when he stepped on a live mortar shell in Vietnam 17 years ago, started the race in back of the other 20,000 marathoners.
But the Big Apple's marathon was for Bob Wieland. By Sunday night he had made 10-2 miles into Brooklyn where the sheer guts of the 40-year old paraplegic brought crowds of people out to watch him pass.
Weland finally stopped to sleep Monday night after 40 hours and 14 miles. He slept again early Wednesday after reaching the Willis Avenue Bridge over the Harlem River — 6 miles and 385 vards to go.
Thursday morning he was coming down the curving
"Going through Brooklyn, a bunch of kids followed along with me," he said. "They say, 'They should give you money.'"
hilly drive through Central Park
along came Wieland, in his blue and gray sweats, driving along on his muscled arms. Swinging his body forward like a man on crutches, knuckles down, fists raised, he stared at the shoes that hit the pavement and carried his weight.
Joggers and runners passed him, bustling along, each with two arms and two legs, running easy in the raw, wet November morning.
Around another bend and past the bare blue bleachers covered with yellow maple and pin oak leaves that held Sunday's screaming crowds. Past the mothers with babies in strollers, the traffic cops and the rubber-neck motorists.
As the finish line came into sight with its red, white and blue banner, he started to sprint the last few
The stumps of his legs were encased in heavy leather chaps with a rocker-shaped bottom, so that he could stand unhindered.
He looked up at the crowd of reporters, photographers and TV people surrounding him.
The small crowd gathered at the finish line burst into applause and cheers. Tears stood in the eyes of a few. An official threw a Marathon thermal sheet over Wieland's shoulders.
"I wanted to give it my best shot," he said. "I want to thank the people of New York for encouraging us.
"People in the high rises were yelling out the windows. "God Bless you," and "Go for it."
Swimmers look for rare win
By BRIAN SNYDER
Sports writer
The Kansas swim team will be in Bicarondale, Ill., Sunday for a dual meet against Southern Illinois.
Head coach Gary Kempf said yesterday that the SIU Sukulks were ready.
"I can't remember the last time our men beat their men." Kempf said yesterday in Robinson Center Natatorium, "and last year was the first time our women won."
The pool at SIU is a 50-meter pool and is the first of that size that the Jayhawks have competed in this
year. A 50-meter pool is Olympic size and may serve as an advantage for the Salukis, but that didn't seem to bother Kempf.
"They, of course, train in a 50-meter pool." Kempf said. "It's a good opportunity for our swimmers to swim in a pool that size. The times will be a little slower and SIU might have an advantage."
The Jayhawks practice in a 25-meter pool at Robinson Center Natorium.
Kempf said that he wasn't particularly pleased with this week's practices, but he was confident that
the team would swim well Sunday.
The team, Kempf said, had been experiencing some sickness. No injuries, though, were reported and the team is in good shape.
Yesterday, Kempf said that Stumpf was still bothered a little by his muscle pull but that Stumpf would be fine.
Senior co-captain Karl Stumpf had said during the Oct. 24 men's intrasquad meet that he had a slight groin pull.
Kempt said the team had not and would not change its practices for Sunday's meet.
Holmes retires from boxing again
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Larry Holmes announced his retirement from boxing yesterday, three days after he turned 37.
It was the second time the former heavyweight champion announced his retirement, but this time he said it would stick.
"I'm tired of people using me. I'm tired of fighting and I'm tired of not getting the decisions I earned.
Following a news conference at Larry Holmes' Commodore Inn outside Philipsburg, N.J., Holmes told the Pressized Press in a telephone interview:
Holmes first said he would retire after fighting David Bey on March 15, 1985. He stopped Bey in the 10th round to make his record 47-0. If he had stuck to his decision he would have joined Rocky Marmiano, 49-0, as the only heavyweight champions to retire unbeaten.
But Holmes fought and outpointed Carl Williams. Then on Sept. 15, 1985, in a bid to equal Marciano's record,
he defended the International Boxing Federation title against light heavyweight champion Michael Spinks.
Spinks won a close, but unanimous 15-round decision, then kept the title on a disputed 15-round split decision Holmes appealed to the IBF to overturn the decision, but the appeal was rejected.
"I'm 50-0." Holmes said. "People know it. They can question the 49th (the outcome of the first Spinks fight), but they can't question the 50th."
