Jones, Seurer guide Jayhawks Running game, defense lead Kansas over ISU
Finally
After six long weeks without a victory, the Kansas Jayhawks took advantage of Iowa State mistakes and a revitalized rushing attack to beat Chicago 72-69. The game was but vocal, Homecoming Day crowd of 26.798.
The game, especially the second half, showed that the Jayhawks were supposed to play all Yankees.
There were defensive linemen Broderick Thompson and Tim Friess, both playing on virtually one leg, leading the line to its best performance of the season.
There was linebacker Mike Arbans, whose 14 tackles and roaming from sideline-to-sideline contributed to the loss.
THERE WAS fullback E.J. Jones, almost non-existent in Kansas' first eight games, rushing for a career-high 112 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns.
There was quarterback Frank Seurer, who was hit hard several times during the game, completing 13 of 31 passes for 241 yards, for one touchdown and running for another.
And, in the end, there was head coach Don

Fambrough, smiling for the first time in a long time in this otherwise disappointing season.
"I smiled for the first time in so long that I cracked my lips," Fambrough said, joking. "This was a great victory for us and we really needed it. We knew that if we won this game we would have a chance of winning the next two. This game helped us regain some confidence.
BUT IN the beginning, it looked as if it was going to be another disappointing game for the team.
"I don't know if I have ever been as proud of a team as I was of this one today."
Kansas' defense stopped the Cyclones on three plays in their opening drive, and took control of the ball at the ISU 41. On first down, Seurer threw to Darren Green, who dropped the pass. Then, on second down, and 10, Seurer hit Jones for a 6-yard gain, but Jones coughed up the football and gave the Cyclones the ball at their own 35.
It took the Cyclones just 12 plays to go 65 yards and jump out to an early 7-lead. Kansas then took the kickoff and moved to the Iowa State 7, before Steiner's pass for Bobby Johnson was intercepted. The Kansas defense held, but the offense turned the ball over again, this time on a fumble by tailback Robert Mimbs, his third fumble in the last two games.
In the previous eight games, the Jayhawks would have fallen apart at this point and let the opponent run through them the rest of the game. But some reason, this was a different Bears.
"We had it in our minds that we were going to play football today (Saturday)." said offensive
tackle Reggie Smith. "There was a feeling around this team that we were going to win today.
"UNIKE OUR previous games, we never got on ourselves. The way we were moving the ball, we knew we could do it. It is hard to explain what we worked, but you could see it all week long in practice."
The play that started it all for the Jayhawks was a fumble recovery by defensive back Rodney Madden in the end zone. Iowa State had third and goal from the 1 when tailback King Green fumbled going off the right side of the line. The ball rolled into the end zone and Madden beat the Iowa State quarterback, Dave Archer, to the ball.
It was the Jayhawks' turn to drive, led by Seurer, who still was not fully recovered from his shoulder injury. Kansas moved the ball 80 yards for a three-four Iowa State penalties, tiring the score at 7-2.
But it was Seurer's passing that was the difference in the drive. He connected on of 48 passes for 58 yards in that drive, culminating in a 10-yard scoring strike to Jones.
Iowa State jumped out to a 14-7 lead late in the second quarter on a 4-yard touchdown run by Tommy Davis, and the Cyclones led the Jayhawks, 14-7, at halftime.
THE JAYHAWKS, however, came out fired in the second half, led by the running of Dion Bell
Bell, who did not play a down in the first half,
started the second half and played all the way.
He gave the KU fans an inkling of what was to
come when he carried on the first play of the
game. Bell knocked the ball away. Then after an ISU penalty, Bell got the call again and went 8 yards for another first down.
After Jones went 15 yards for another first down, Seurer hit Johnson for a 35-yard gain to give Kansas the ball first-and-goal at the 9. Seurer threw incomplete to Green on first down, but Bell gained 8 yards to the ISU 1. On third down, Seurer faked to Jones and rolled right. When no one challenged him, he went untouched into the end zone.
After the Kansas defense held, the Jahyawns moved the ball to the ISU 8 before their drive stalled. Stalled K bailmaker, who had not kicked a field goal since the Oklahoma State game on Oct. 9, hit a 35-jarer to put Kansas in the lead. It was not enough for the OSU game that Kansas had led an opponent.
The Cyclones tied the game on a 32-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, but Kansas came right back and took the ball to the ISU 13. Bell took the handoff, but was hit hard and fumbled. Cornerback Alvin Baker picked up the ball and the Kansas drive was stopped.
THE JAYHAWKS, after a sack by Carky Alexander that stopped the Cyclones, took control of the ball with 5:14 left in the game on its own 28-yard line. Seurer connected with Green for a 27-yard gain to move the ball into Cycle territory. After two incomplete passes, Seurer hit Wayne Capers, who has had problems catching passes lately and was demoted to second team, for a 36-yard gain. Capers, after faking an ISU defensive back, had nothing but the goal line ahead of him, but tripped, giving Kansas the ball first- and十 from the 11.
No progress made in strike; rest of season in jeopardy'
By United Press International
NEW YORK "The striking NFL Players Association found management's latest proposal unacceptable yesterday, with union head Ed Garvey claiming the offer "would rob every player now and for the next 10 years of their freedom."
THE COUNCIL will send a synopsis of the 75-page proposal to the 28 NPL clubs, which will be made available to all players upon request. Garvey said yesterday that the summarized version of the proposal looked "a lot different" than the original document.
The Management Council presented a 75-page proposal Saturday night, before private mediator Sam Kagel and Management Council's chief bargainer Jack Donlan walked out of negotiations at a midtown hotel. Little progress was made in the eight-day session, and seven weeks of games have not been played because of the 48-day old strike.
"The NFL is asking that we tie 11-year-old kids up to a draft 10 years from now." Garvey said. "The players know it would drop the average career from 4.2 years to 3.2 years immediately. They know severance pay, bonus pay and pension vesting all ensure less
Garvey said the NFL requested a 10-year anti-trust exemption for its college draft, and he said the league wanted to move the draft from late April to Feb. 1.
He claimed the requests were made to help destroy the fledgling United States Football League and, if agreed to, would provide less security for NFL players.
The package includes a wage standard for each player based on years of service beginning at $30,000 and increasing $10,000 per year to a top level of $200,000; an immediate bonus of $60,000 to all players who are vested upon resumption of the 1982 season; severance payments beginning at $60,000 for a player with four years of service to $200,000 for 18 or more years experience; and a doubling of post-season benefits so that a player for a Super Bowl winner receives up to $70,000.
job security and a younger league in the future.
Claiming they are still willing to bargain, Garvey and player representatives remained at the hotel yesterday and called for management to return to the table. Garvey made it clear, however, that the Council's most recent offer was unacceptable.
"Everything we have been fighting for will go out the window with that proposal and that proposal."
"We have made a comprehensive offer to the players," Modell said. "I have in my possession here a 75-page document outlining the proposals made to the players and it is substantial. To make any more concessions would be suicide."
CLEVELAND BROWNS owner Art Modell,
an imam with ABC Radio Sports,
will offer the gift.
The union is seeking an injunction from the National Labor Relations Board that would force management to bargain on wages. The NLRB has already found management guilty of 12 counts of unfair labor charges. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 15.
Tails broke off Saturday night when Kagel returned to San Francisco and Donlan went home to Boxville, N.Y. The current breakoff in talks is the second since the 73-year-old Kagel entered negotiations Oct. 12. Following a 12-day session in Cockayneville, Md., Kagel resumed talks on October 9 and resumed resumed Oct. 30 in New York and last eight days with little progress.
While Garvey called for Commissioner Pete Roeite and club owners to come to the table, a management Council spokesman said the Council was taking 'a day off' yesterday and 'we'll just sit back tomorrow and make a decision on what will happen next.'
"Either Rozelle or Donlan will have to get some people back to the table," Garvey said. "They'll have to see what happens with the computer." He will be the last shot for the so-called hard-drivers.
Dallas Cowboy player representative Robert Newhouse said he was aware of that架
GARVEY SAID the union also had filed a class action suit questioning the validity of the standard contract between the league and all of its players.
Speaking on CBS-TV's "NFL-Today" show, Dallas warred: "I think the season is in progress."
"I realize the fact that this season could be over." Newhouse said. "The last game of the 82 season could have been played already. The team would have families are being jugged around up here."
Jones gained 8 yards on first down, but injured his ankle on the play and came out. Harvey Fields, replacing Jones, gained 2 yards for a first down to the ISU 1.
Fittingly, Jones came back into the game and muscled his way into the end zone to give the win.
Smith said, "E.J. is a great player. He blocks like a guard and he runs like a tailback. You can't ask for anything more than that."
E. J. Jones had a tremendous football game," Fambrough said. "On the last play, we did not tell him what to do."
"OUR OFFENSIVE队 did a great job and we played together as a team." Jones said. "We had the confidence to overcome our early mistakes in this game.
Jones praised the offensive line in return.
"We've looked good at certain times all year long, but today we put it all together."
And even though Jones, Bell and Seurer all had outstanding games, the offensive linemen had to be the key to Saturday's victory. They opened
gaping holes for the backs and gave Seurer ample time to throw the football.
"I've been critical of the offensive line, but they were the difference in the second half." Fambrough said. "Their protection was good as well, and they was as good a performance as any this year."
The Jayhawks, although they know the season is all but over, have incorporated a new saying:
GRANTED, FINISHING strong would still just give them a 4-5-2 overall record and 3-3-1 in the Big Eight, but winning those games would mean a lot.
And if Saturday's line play and rushing attack continue the rest of the year, the Jayhawks should have two happy weeks ahead of them.
The enthusiasm in the locker room and on the sidelines was much better than it has been this season and the Jayhawks are now in an ideal position to win the next two games.
"We knew they weren't that good so we just went out and played football," Arbans said. This game puts us into a good spot for the Colorado and Missouri games. Our spirits are up.
JAYHAWK NOTES--Bobby Johnson and E.J.
Jones led Kansas收容者 with three catches
apiece. Johnson's catches were good for 78
yards, which was also onto the team.
"We know how to win again."
Darren Green continued to play well for the Jayhawks. He caught two passes for 45 yards and returned two punts for 40 yards. His 25-yard return in the third quarter set up the go-ahead field goal. Fambridge on Green: "He's played that way all year."
Jones, who was the first fullback to rush for over 100 yards in a long time at Kansas, was the first Kansas back to rush for over 100 yards this year. The previous high was 88 yards by Dino Bell.
The 24 points scored by Kansas were the most scored by any team against the Cyclones this year.
Iowa State running back King Green found the going tough against the Kansas defense Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Green, met by Jayhawk defensive back Gary Coleman (84) and
two unidentified Jayhawks, managed just 30 yards on 10 carries as Kansas defeated the Cyclones, 24-17.
Hoop season gets underway
Coaches say rule changes ridiculous

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Even though the Big Eight football season is not yet over, the Big Eight basketball game got underway yesterday with the annual pre-season press day at the KCI
On hand for the meeting were the eight conference coaches and two players from each squad, and while most coaches spoke lightly of their own talent, there was one thing that all the coaches agreed on — the rule changes in many of the major conferences in the country.
It was a consensus of the Big Eight coaches that they made the right move when they decided to vote against the shot clock and against the 3-point goal for the upcoming season.
Most conferences in the country adopted one or both of these experiments for the upcoming year, but the NCAA Rules Committee decided that there would be any for this year's post-season competition.
"All the rules are ridiculous," said Billy Tubbs, who is entering his third year as coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. "It would bother our coach if we were on second clock, but we definitely need only run rules."
"THE PROBLEM isn't the clock, the coaches. They won't let the players play ball."

"I'm delighted we didn't change our rules."

Tubb's comments were reflective of all the Big
Kansas coach Ted Owens, the dean of Big Eight coaches, said, "With all the different rules we could have played 12 games with different rules.
"I'm delighted we didn't change our rules."
"I won't be for the 3-point goal until they make it have the same effect as a regular shot. They say possession of the ball is worth 1 point, which means that every other time you get the ball you must pass it with a 38 percent shot, I'm for it. But I'm absolutely certain that that distance is not 19 feet."
Oklahoma State coach Paul Hansen agreed with Owens.
"I DON'T care for the 3-point rule," Hansen, who is entering his fourth year as coach of the Cowboys, said. "I'll like the 3-point goal when I give a 1 point for a dunk, and I'm not being faced."
"The biggest change is going to be the held-ball rule. Without the hash marks on the court, it is going to make a lot of difference. This is the best move made to speed up the game, not
Of all the coaches in the Big Eight, however, Tom Apale, entering his second year as head man
Apke is a member of the NCAA Committee. That committee decided not to tamper with the rules, but to ask the conferences to experiment if they wanted to.
"We were astounded by the number of the conferences that took up experiments," Apke said. "When the season is over, we will collect
data on the experiments and make some valid decision on what to do.
"We know the college game is a great one, so we have to watch what we do. Right now we may confuse the fans because they'll be seeing games with different rules every night.
"MY PERSONAL feeling is that the shot clock is not the answer. We risk making college students wait."
The coaches did agree on one thing about the Big Eight as a league, and that it was on the team.
"This conference has begun to get national recognition." Apke said. "The influx of recruits, especially big kids, makes our conference more visible. We have more exposure and better credibility. We are one of the better basketball conferences in the country."
The Big Eight coaches agreed that this year the conference would be a much more evenly matched conference, with Oklahoma and Wisconsin. The Big Eight the past three years, leading the neck.

Ex-Dodger Garvey tops list of 46 free agents
By United Press International
NEW YORK—Who's on first for the Los Angeles Dodgers?
It won't be Steve Garvey, who failed to reach a new contract agreement with the Dodgers, and on Wednesday he may be the most coveted player in baseball's re-entry draft.
"This is probably the saddest day in my life," Garvey said late Saturday night after his agent, Jerry Karpstein, could not work out a contract with Dodger management. "These years in Los Angeles have held many special friends for me and I love the house of all the fans and the friends I have here."
Now that Garvey is a free agent, the Dodgers said they would not draft him on Wednesday.
"WE MADE Steve what we felt was a very fair and generous offer," said Dodgers' President Peter O'Malley. "He has not accepted. Both sides made major movements throughout the
day, but we were still unable to solve the problem.
"He's been a great Dodger and he leaves behind many friends. We wish him well. We recognize his right to become a free agent. However, we will not retain rights to draft him. We've had ample time to try to reach an agreement feel that more time would not help the situation."
GARVEY PLAYED the past six seasons for $333,333.33 a year, a meager sum by current standards. He never asked to have the pact negotiated, saying he believed in sticking to an
Also of interest as the deadline approached
Garvey is one of 46 players listed by the Players' Association as being eligible for the draft, though some will likely be re-signed by their current teams. The Players' Association lists San Francisco pitcher Jim Barr and Chicago Cubs outfielder Jay Johnstone as free agents, but the Player Relations Committee dismisutes that status.
were Kansas City Royals' DH Hal MeRae, California Angel DH Don Baylor, and Chicago White Sox outfielder Steve Kemp.
McRae, who batted .308 with an American League-leading 133 RBI this season, was negotiating with the Royals. They said they would be responsible if rights they failed to sigh him before the draft.
Baylor, who helped lead the Angels within one victory of the AL pennant, exchanged offers with California. Buzzie Bavasi, the Angels' executive vice president, sounded hopeful of signing the deal that would enable him to sign him, he would honor Baylor's wishes on whether to retain him in the draft.
Floyd Bannister, a 27-year-old left-hander who led the American League in strikeouts this season, appears to be the most attractive free agent available in the draft.
Bannister turned down the Mariners' final offer, which would have guaranteed him $2 million for three years and could have earned him more than $3.1 million over five years.
