CONTEST
This week The University Daily Kansan invites its readers to take on Big 12 football reporter Doyle Murphy to pick the winners of 11 college football games. Anyone who defeats Murphy will be put in a drawing from which five participants will be chosen for weekly prizes including a T-shirt and gift certificate. The winners will also be included in the next week's picks in the Kansan. All entries will be included in the grand-prize drawing at the end of the season.
Look for entry forms in the Kansan sports section every Thursday and Friday. All entries must be returned to the Kansan business office, 119 Stauffer-Flint Hall, by 3 p.m. on Friday.
Writer challenges readers
It's my favorite time of the week. Yes, it's Friday, so tonight's late night won't be followed by an early morning, but more importantly it's time for another session of "Kick the Kansan."

In case you haven't heard, each week five readers — four this week, one chicken couldn't face me — compete against me to predict the outcome of 11 college football games. The students are selected from the previous week's winning entries. Those five each receive a classy "I kicked the Kansan" T-shirt and a gift certificate from a local restaurant. Any students who think they have what it takes to defeat me can fill out the entry form in today's University Daily Kansan and return it to the Kansan business office at 119 Stauffer-Flint Hall.
OK, so last week wasn't my most successful (6-5), but come
on Penn State 40, Nebraska 7?
Are you kidding me? Not that I'm bitter.
Anyway, today's a new day and another chance to embarrass the readers — for once.
One of the readers who definitely was not embarrassed last week was Brett Powell, Osawatomie junior. Powell took a few minutes out of his day to run me through his selection system. I was impressed.
Powell reads the team depth charts, considers home field advantage and checks the betting line. He even keeps an eye on the
injury reports. Sounds like something a Big 12 football writer should do, huh?
So what is Powell predicting this week? Well, it's not good news for the Big 12. He has the conference finishing 3-5, including a win by wheat-state rival Kansas State against University of Southern California. I try to avoid picking the Wildcats if at all possible, but he did beat me by two games last week.
He also said another rough week was ahead for the Buffaloes.
"I'm looking forward to Colorado getting beat again," he said.
I'm with you on that one,
Powell. Those glorified cows got me for the second consecutive week when they got blown out by USC last Saturday. Not that I'm bitter.
Murphy is a Baldwin City senior in journalism.
Four Emporia State alumni to join Kansas Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
ABILENE — Four Emporia State athletic greats of yesterear will be inducted into the State of Kansas Sports Hall of Fame next month.
Al Feuerbach, a three-time Olympian and former worldrecord holder in the shot put, heads the list along with running back Brian Shay, former men's basketball coach Ron Slaymaker and volleyball and track star Kathy Lou Devine.
The four will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Oct. 12 during a breakfast ceremony at the Emporia State Memorial Union preceding Emporia State's football game against Pittsburg State.
Shay, a native of Paola, graduated in 1999 as college football's all-time leading rusher with 6,958 yards. He still holds four NCAA all-division records, including most all-purpose yards in a career (9,301) and most career touchdowns (88).
A three-time Division II All-American, Shay won the Harlon Hill Trophy in 1998 as the best player in Division II. He went on to play briefly in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Slaymaker won 452 games as Emporia State's coach from 1970 through 1998 and was named the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Coach of the Year in 1986.
As an Emporia Stute player,
Slaymaker was a three-time all-
conference selection and won the 1960 national small-college free-throw shooting title with a 90.9 percentage.
60% percentage Devine, who graduated in 1979, was a three-time All-American track athlete and a four-time all-conference volleyball honoree.
She set the national record in the shot put four times and was a two-time national champion. Her school records in the shot put and javelin stood for more than 20 years before they were recently broken.
Feuerbach, who graduated in 1970, was a U.S. Olympian in 1972, 1976 and 1980 and set the world record in the shot put in 1973 with a mark of 71 feet, 7 inches.
