Cooper out; Bastin in for CU contest Jayhawks go for second straight against Buffs
Kansas has not won a game on the road all season and the Colorado Buffaloes have yet to win a game at home.
One of these streaks, barring a tie, will come to an end tomorrow when the Kansas Jayhawks take on the Buffaloes at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 n.m. CST.
Coach Don Fambrough brings a revived Jayhawk football team into the Colorado game, coming off a big victory over the Iowa State Cyclones last week. It was the Jayhawks' second victory this season against five losses and two ties. But despite having just two victories, though said the Jayhawks were in a lot better shape this week at than the same time last week.
"LAST WEEK we faced a must-win situation, Fambridge said. "If we had lost to Iowa

"We needed a tonic to help us for our last two games and we got one. The victory helped restore our confidence and we needed that more than anything."
State, I honestly think that we would have had a tough time winning another game this season.
The things that the Jayhawks needed the most were a healthy Frank Seurer and a running game that did more than run to the line of scrimmage and stop. Seurer wasn't totally healthy but he was effective, and the running game, which had not produced a 100-yard rusher all season, had fullback E.J. Jones rush for 112 yards. The rushing of Jones and tailback Phoebe Johnson installed in the second comeback by the Jayhawks, as the KU offense kept the Iowa State defense, ranked sixth in the nation at that time, off balance in the second half.
And if the Jayhawks can get the same balance they had last week, the game against Colorado shouldn't even be close.
Seurer will be throwing against a Colorado defensive secondary that ranks last in the Big Eight, giving up an average of 172.2 yards a game. To make it even worse, the Buffaloes are going to win, giving up 410 yards a game. Fambrough, however, isn't looking at the Buffaloes as a pushover.
"We ARE hoping that we can take up offensively just where we left off last week." Farnbrough said. "We had the ISU defense off balance and that's what you want to have."
"Even though their pass defense is not highly ranked, we didn't emphasize the passing game any more than we usually do. When you go out to Colorado, you might be playing in a blizzard. You just don't know what the weather will be like."
Not only may the weather be against the Jayhawks, but one of the top players on the Kansas offensive队 will miss the game with the Buffaloes and a second will be at less than 100 percent. Freshman fullback Charles Cooper, Jones' backup, will miss the contest because of an injured ankle. Split end Russ Bastin, who was listed as doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Ravens, will not play but Fambrigh said Bastin was playing at about $9 per rightmost row.
Harvey Fields, a sophomore from Arkansas City will take Cooner's place behind Jones.
The injury situation on defense continues to increase. Dave Mehrer, who took over for nose guard Walter Parrish when Parrish went out with a knee injury, hurt his knee in the ISU contest and is out for tomorrow's game. Freshman Steve Nave will stay in his place. Bengals have not yet selected Cameron and junior Pat Kelley. Conner will also play behind defensive end Broderick Thompson, who last week played his first complete game since early in the season.
Thompson, who had been playing with a cast on his foot, played without it last week and had a few shots.
Lawrence Track Club draws more than 1,100 for contest
Enter fees are $10 a person and must be submitted at least a half-hour before the race. The five-kilometer race begins at 9:00 a.m. The 10-kilometer race begins at 10:30 a.m. The team are already closed.
"We have about 500 people from Lawrence competing," said Steve Ridgway, a spokesman from Maupintour. "This is the second year that there has been a run of this sort, but the first time Maupintour has helped sponsor t."
Last year, the Lawrence Track Club had about 400 participants.
"MANY of the runners have returned from last year to compete again," said Ridgway. "Many of them said that they covered back because they enjoyed the scenic course."
Among the numerous entries are a woman who is seven months pregnant and a 40-year old nun. There is also a contestant traveling from Wisconsin to run in the classic.
"We would like to see a lot of spectators come out and watch," said Ridgway. "We think that's as important as getting people to participate."
Trophies will be awarded to the top male and female finishers in each race. In addition to the trophies, the two winners in the 10-kilometer run will each receive two United Airlines tickets good for roundtrip flights to two cities in the continental United States.
Other prizes include hand-made pottery pieces, ribbons, which will be given to each participant under 15 who competes in the five-kilometer run, and Maupintour Fall Classic windbreakers, which will be given to the first 760 entrants.
ENTRY FORMS can be picked up in the Kansas Union or at 900 Massachusetts St.
Both races will begin at Memorial Stadium and wind through the KU campus before rolling along the open road in the West Campus area and finishing back at the stadium. A map of the courses is in today's Kansan.
Anyone needing more information on the Maupaintour Fall Classic should contact race-co-director Dee Boock of the Lawrence Track 141-3811-387 or Louis Copt at Maupaintur, 843-1213.
Proceeds from the Fall Classic will go to the Lawrence Track Club. The race is also sanctioned by The Athletic Congress and the RRCA.
After the runs, a "friendly skies drawing" will be held in which two more United Airlines flights are flying.
"THAT WAS by far Broderick's best game this year," Fambrough said. "He's had a good week of practice, and I think him getting last through all his work helped him. He also helped him out a lot for his morale and attitude."
One player that definitely played beyond all out last week was junior linebacker r Mike Arbanas. Arbanas had 19 tackles against the Cyclones. Arbanas said he and fellow linebacker Eddie Simmons said he "best games of their careers."
"He needs to finish strong. We need someone up there to play beyond all out."
The defensive secondary will also be put to the test this week if Colorado's quarterback, Randy Essington, is healthy and plays. The Kansas pass defense now ranks No.1 in the country, while the rush defense ranks 96 out of 97.
FOR THE Jayhawks, this has been a crazy
season. They were picked to finish high in the division and possibly find their way into the national rankings. But those predictions have failed with the dismal 5-2-2 start. Or have they?
If the Jayhawks can win their last two games, which they are definitely capable of doing, the Jayhawks would finish in fourth place with an outside shot at third. It would mark the third straight year that Kansas finished in the top division.
"I's crazy." Fambrough said. "We still have an excellent shot at placing in the top division. If you would have told me we would have a shot at winning, I wouldn't have begunning of the year, I would have said no way."
JAYHAWK NOTES—Quarterback Frank Seurer leads the Big Eight in passing yardage with 1,320 yards for the year. He has now thrown
for 3,136 carpenter yards, second best in KU history behind David Jaynes. 5,122 yards. Searne uses just 98 yards to pass former Missouri great Steve Pisarkiewicz for the No. 10 spot on the all-time Big Eight list. He needs 113 yards for the ninth position and 151 yards for the eighth spot.
Punter Burcy Scribner continues to lead the league in putting with a 44.8 yards a kick average. Scribner and the Jahways rank eighth in the nation in net putting with a 40.9 mark.
Junior Barren Green leads the Big Eight in punt returns with a 10.6 average. Green's 77-yard punt return against Tusa earlier this year has him tied with Oklahoma's Marcus Dupree for the longest punt return in the conference.
In other league play this weekend, Missouri is at Oklahoma, Nebraska travels to Iowa State and Kansas State hosts Oklahoma State.

Women's hoop team battles injuries
Sports Writer
By DAVE MCQUEEN
The 1982-83 edition of the Kansas women's basketball team limped into the Parrott Athletic Center conference room yesterday, looking like a ghost. The players were in face reporters and photographers on Media Day.
Vickie Adkins, who sat out last year because of a knee injury, was on crutches. Chris Hurley, who recently underwent arthroscopic surgery, sported a tightly-bandaged knee. Caroline Mixon had one leg wrapped from her thigh to just above her ankle.
The team was so banged up, in fact, that they had to cancel a scrimmage because they didn't know where it was.
And if that wasn't enough, Tracy Claxton, last year's leading scorer and rebounder, announced last month that she was quitting the team. The Washington Wizards beat 6-6 Philiacla Allen becomes eligible in January.
er as a team very early. They obviously need each other."
ALL IN ALL, basketball coach Marian Washington and her young team, which opens its season Nov. 20 against Drake, have their work cut out for them.
But they are far from discouraged.
"This team has an awful lot of heart," Washington said. "They've really pulled together."
Like last year's 16-14 team, the Jayhawks are mostly young and inexperienced. Besides Claxton, KU lost five players. Leonora Taylor, center, and Rhonda Spears, guard, graduated; Mary Chrynelich, guard, transferred to Wisconsin; and Robbin Smith, who married KK football player Wayne Capers during the eighth, and Rose Peeples did not return either.
But some experienced players are returning, including 5-10 Angie Snider, guard, Hurley, and 5-9 Angie Taylor, guard. Others who should contribute early are Mary Myers, a powerful 5-6 guard who out last season with a knee injury, and Ann Schell, a 6-6 freshman center.
Here's a position-by-position look at the team: CENTER - Washington doesn't mince words when talking about the inside game. "We're in bad shape inside," she said. "We're going to be able to can get Vickie back. We are looking towards the conference, and we should have Allen by then."
Without Claxton, who averaged 20 points and 14.4 rebounds a game last year, the Hawks are going to be weak inside initially. But Adkins, who sat out last year when she injured a knee a week before the season began, should be ready by December.
serious — just a blow to the knee, "Washington said. 'Vickie should make a very positive contribution to the team. She's not quite the best she is, but she is an excellent shot both inside and out."
"The doctors confirmed that it was nothing
KU's inside game should improve in January when Allen, who transferred last February from South Carolina, will be eligible. A 6-4 junior, she is one of the highest female players in the nation.
GUARDS — The Jayhawks might hurt inside, but they should make up for it outside. Leading the retirements is Snider, who started all but two and averaged 13.5 points a game last year.
"Snider's very much a key player this year," Washington said. "She has proven herself as a leader."
Sharing off guard duties with Snider, Washington said, should be Taylor, averaged six points a game last year, and Myers. Valerie Quarles, freshman, may also see some action.
FORWARDS — The Jayhawk will have some talent here too, but, as with the centers, it will take time to develop. Like Snider, who also plays forward, Washington sees Hurley as a key player because of her deadly outside shot and experience.
Other forwards include Mixon, the only non-scholarship athlete on the team, Barbara Adkins, Vickie's sister, and Tina Stauffer, a 5-9 freshman many compare to Hurley.
