KU given endowed basketball scholarship
By NICOLE SAUZEK
Kansas first fully endowed basketball scholarship, initiated from a $100,000 gift given by a donor who asked to remain anonymous, could be the beginning of a new trend in donations given to the Athletic Department, said Monte Johnson, athletic director.
Johnson announced last week the establishment of the scholarship, to be given to an athlete who worked hard in the classroom and on the court.
The first scholarship recipient will be announced at the basketball banquet at the end of the 1986-87 season
"I'd like to see this type of scholarship catch on."
Johnson said. "Then we know we have the income, author it is a good year financially or a bad one."
because of the need that the $100,000 donation was sent to the Kansas University Endowment Association where it is being invested to maximize the interest it can earn.
Johnson said he thought the idea could catch on because of the stability of the gift.
Earnings from those investments will create the annual basketball scholarship.
"The beauty of this scholarship is that it will last from here to eternity," Johnson said. "We know we'll have that income regularly if the program is in the Final Four or if it's a losing season."
Basketball scholarships are now set up through the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation
budget and Williams Fund donations. Thirty-five percent of the Athletic Department's total operational cost comes from donations, Johnson said.
Normally, donors give a set amount of money annually. But when a donor dies or withdraws their gift, those funds are no longer available for scholarship funds.
"I'm gone and ever you'll be the same."
"Endowment scholarships could protect the

8 players injured; some return to practice
By ANNE LUSCOMBE
The KU football team once again is besieged with injuries.
The Jayhawks have had eight injuries in the last week alone.

"In this game of football, you can't really be concerned about the things you don't have control over," head coach Bob Valentez said after practice yesterday. "Pain is different than injury. Pain is something you have to work through. Most of our guys suffered bumps and bruises, but
they will work through it."
Several of the hurt players returned to practice although many were sidelined.
Linebacker Stacy Henson, who has the most severe injury for the Jayhawks, will not play Saturday against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. Henson suffered a strained right ankle in the opening minutes in the game against Kansas State.
He did not tell coaches he had been hurt and played the remainder of the game, which could have increased the extent of the injury, said Lynn Bott, director of sports medicine.
Wide receiver John Brehm suffered a mild concussion early in Monday's practice and was not allowed to work in contact drills. Offensive lineman Jim Davis also had a mild concussion in Monday's practice but returned to full practice yesterday
Tom Quick, receiver, was limited in contact drills yesterday after a mild shoulder separation Monday. Bott said.
A pinched nerve in his neck troubled center Paul Oswald, but he returned to full contact yesterday.
Brad Wedel, tight end, sprained his right knee during Saturday's game. Having been limited only to non-
contact drills. Wedel should be able to practice in打 battles today and is probable for the Oklahoma State game, Bott said.
Defensive tackle Kurt Kerns suffered a knee strain.
The Jayhawks may see the return of fullback Tim Ledford, who has been recuperating from a knee injury.
Oklahoma State, the seventh game for the Jayhawks, has a reputation for being a physically aggressive team. The players who have been injured this week run the risk of aggravating their injuries again, Bott said.
Flutie signs contract with Chicago Bears
The Associated Press
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Doug Flutie, "anxious to get into the National Football League and onto the playing field," signed a contract with the Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears yesterday.
The 1984 Heisman Trophy winner from Boston College signed 1987 and 1988 contracts as well as one for the current season which would make him eligible to be placed on the active roster Nov. 4.
“Practice starts at 1:30 tomorrow,” said Bears head coach Mike Thompson, who was instrumental in bringing the 5-09 quarterback to the Bears.
"It will take a couple of weeks before I get the grasp of things and become comfortable with the comfort." Flutie said. "I'm going to prepare as quickly as possible to become competitive."
Flutie was signed after DitaK termed the Bears' quarterback situation unstable because of injuries which have sidelines starter Jim McMahon for three games this season.
Flutie was brought to the Bears' camp on a day when the rest of the
team was off.
"I have not met the players." Flutie said. "I understand the situation of new guy coming in. There are loyalists; I have to deal with that. I want to impress the coaches and get my opportunities."
The Bears obtained the rights to Flutie last week from the Los Angeles Rams. The Bears traded a third-round draft choice for a fourth-round choice and gave up a sixth-round pick in the 1987 draft.
Flutie, who received $1.3 million to play in the 1985 spring season with the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League, will receive $175,000 a year from the Bears.
His salary this season will be prorated, which will entitle him to about $100,000 for the balance of this season.
In four seasons at Boston College, Flute passed for an NCAA-record 10,579 yards and 67 touchdowns. In nine games in the USFL, he completed 134 of 281 passes for 2,109 yards and 13 touchdowns before suffering a broken collarbone.

Dykstra put New York ahead 1-0 when he hit a low inside fastball on a 1-pitch into the right-field seat. It was the 14th time in World Series history a player led off a game with a homer. Davey Lopes of the Los Angeles Dodgers accomplished it most recently in the sixth game of the 1978 Series.
The leadoff homer has become a Dykstra special. Four of his eight homers this season came leading off the first inning.
"We had something to prove," he said. "We won 108 ballgames and it wasn't by accident. I don't try to swine for the fences. I'm a timing hitter. I have a quick bat. If I time it right I can get it out of the park."

"I have no qualms at all," the manager said of leaving his emotional right-hander in the game. "He just made a mistake against Carter and allowed two runs."
Carter singled in two more runs in the seventh to make it 6-1. With one, rafael Santana sang and took second on a single by Dykstra. After Backman flied out, Hernandez walked on four pitches to load the bases
