'Hawks face battle in K-State contest By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Editor In what has become one of the biggest rivalries in all of college football, the Kansas Jayhawks will travel to Manhattan tomorrow to take on the Kansas State Wildcats in a nationally televised Kickoff for the contest will be 7:11 p.m. and can be seen on WITS, the Atlanta-based cable network. "This is what football is all about. Two cross-state rivals playing each other." "You can't say anything more than it is Kansas and Kansas State," Coach Dambrough said. "If you can't get yourself ready for this one, you don't belong on a football field." In recent years, the games between the Jayhawks and Wildcats have been closely fought battles, with Kansas winning the past three. Kansas also has won eight of the past 10. "OBVIOUSLY KANSAS State is a much improved football team this year," Fambrough said. "They have more talent and depth than at any time in recent years. "They are especially tough on defense. It will be a different Kansas State team than we've had before." The player that has hurt the Jayhawks the most — and the one that the Jayhawks are going to have to to beat k-State — is quarterback Darrell Ray Dickey, Dickey, who has shared time at the quarterback position with junior Kane, is in 39 of 79 for 500 yards and three touchdowns. "We know that Dickey is talented and that he is an excellent quarterback," Fambrough said. "We don't know that much about Bogue, but from everything we hear, he is doing well." But the Jayhawks' main concern is with their own play, which has been dismal so far this season. On top of this, injuries have hit the team and some of Kansas' key players out of the contest. FAMBROUGH SADT that the only two players who were definitely out for the K-State game were freshman Dave Geroux and senior Tim Warner, playing player on the KU defense the past two weeks. Leading the players off the injury list is Frank Seurer. Seurer, who was expected to miss two games with a shoulder separation, will play against the Wildcats, but it is not known how much damage will have been left on his will play. Fambrough said that his decision on who will start at quarterback is still up in the air. "I might not decide until right before the game," he said. "Both of them will play the game." If Seurier doesn't start, then start Mike Frederick, a sophomore, will take over the quarterback spot. Frederick, although inexperienced, has a very strong arm and is quicker than Seurier. Joining Seurer or Frederick in the backfield, and getting his first start of the season, will be junior Kerkin Bell. Bell and fulback E.J. Jones will start as running backs for Kansas. "IF WE have to do one thing to win, it would be to make our running game successful," Fambrough said. "As I said before though, it all starts up front. The backs can't do it alone. The linenen have to block and the receivers have to catch the ball for the running game to work." The offensive line that Fambrough is talking about also will have a couple of new faces in it. Senior Anthony Penny, who started the Kentucky and Tulsa games in place of the injured Eric McCormack, two ways to Craig Kirschbaum in Kansas 'last two games, will once again start for the Jawhaws. At the other guard position, senior Grant Thierolf, who is best known for being the long snapper on pants and field goals for the Jayahawks, will get the starting nod. "This game means as much to Grant as any player on this team," Fambridge said. "That isn't why he is starting through. We have been able to find a few players who seek weeks and he has earned the starting position." Center Bennie Simecka and tackles Reggie Smith and Renwick Atkins round out the offensive line. Simecka and Atlkens are the only players in the offense who have no started every game for the Jayhawks. THE KANSAS DEFENSE will be facing a KState offense that leads the Jayhawks in total offense by 1 yard. The Wildcats have 1,284 total yards this season compared to 1,823 for Kansas. Besides Dickey, the Kansas defense must stop the K-State running game, which is led by backhack Mark Hundley and fullbacks Masi Toluano and Pete Brown. The Jayhawks are dead last in the Big Eight against the rush and 96th in the nation. "We better straps the helmets on tight for this one," defensive captain Gary Coleman said. Frederick said, "It's an important game because of what it means to the schools and people involved. I know that one, two or three games, are different in these types of games, it takes a solid team effort The Jayhawks may have a little extra incentive in this one, however, because it was the Wildcat coaching staff that notified the National Jays about possible about possible Jayhawk recruiting violations. . . Fambridge, however, said that wouldn't have much to do with it. "That's no way to prepare for the game." Fambrough said. "If you have to get your team up that way, you don't have much of a chance to start with. "We have all we need to get ready. The team knows they have to live with whatever happens."

Seurer is recovering from a shoulder separation and how much he can play is up in the air. St. Louis, Brewers celebrate seasons with parades By United Press International ST. LOUIS—Fourteen hours after the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, hundreds of thousands of baseball fans still had enough to cheer. The team a tundustuous parade down downtown. "Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie," the fans chanted as Cardinal shortstop Ozzie Smith smiled and waved from the back of an open vehicle. Other players received similar ovations. Police estimated the crowd at more than 200,000 for the midday parade. Officers were unable to keep the throng on the sidewalks, and they were able to force them into the hands and slap them on the back as they rode by. Many of the players were sprinkled with comfiett and computer paper form in strips and used them to create a pattern. LEADING THE PARADE were Cardinals president August A. Busch Jr. in a car with manager Whitie Herzog, followed by the Budweiser Dewsley desilving a beer wagon. Teen-agers skipping school, businessmen and office workers taking long lunch hours and baseball fans of every other description clogged the streets. Despite temperatures in the 40s and a chilly north wind, many people drank beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch, owner of the Marty Karian, holding a beer, said he had been up all night celebrating the Cardinals victory. "But I got to work on time," said Karian, who for Bellon Wrecking Co. Inc. His boss, Don Bellon, stood nearby and said he and his crew stowed work to view the parade. "It wasn't a matter of choice," said Bellon, holding his own beer. "I was told we would be Walking along behind the parade, Camellia Jacobs, 23, said she ran onto the Busch Stadium field after the final out Wednesday night and kissed Cardinal pitcher John Stuper. ENTREPRENEURS HAWKING souvenirs proclaiming the Cardinals as world champions were getting $5 for pennants, $9.99 for caps and $15 for jerseys. "The cops didn't want anybody near the players," she said, pointing out the bruise. "But we were all there." She displayed a bruise on her right arm that she said was from a police dog that bit her at the neck. She said it was stabbing her with an iron knife. The only incident to mar the parade occurred because of confusion about the location of a ceremony honoring the Cardinals. The crush of people outside the stadium was so intense that a crowd turned out for the ceremony. However, many people mistakenly believed the festivities were being moved inside the ballpark. Hundreds of fans stormed one gate and took to the street to remove them. No serious injuries were reported. ON THE OTHER SIDE of the stadium, some youths kicked in the bottom of a fence and about a dozen youngsters dashed inside and headed toward the playing field, which was deserted except for the cars that carried the players in the parade. Outside the park, St. Louis Mayor Vincent Schoemehl told the deebrebes that the victory was one of the biggest wins for the city. Ellen Morsoe said her classes yesterday at Parkway Central High School were not nearly as challenging. "This is just the beginning," the mayor said. "It is been good for the city and the Cardinals. It was good for everyone." "This is wonderful," she screamed. "St. Louis is great." In Milwaukee, it was much of the same "It hurts so good." thousands of people who threw confetti and toilet tissue streamers as a motorcade carrying their heroes — the Milwaukee Brewers — inched up the main street at noon yesterday. Police officers made little effort to keep back the crowd, which left only enough room for the "These people want to touch the guys," said a police officer. "I never see it this light." Everyone was happy — the police, the Brewers, the crowd — despite the Brewers' loss Wednesday night to St. Louis in the seventh game of the World Series. THAT SIGN SAID IT ALL for the many The crowd was rows deep as the motorcade headed for County Stadium and a civic and slate Most of the players rode on the backs of open convertibles and gave high fives and handclaps. AS EACH NEW HERO came into view, there shoes of joy, or the familiar yeard hears at "Coop, Coop, Coop," for first baseman Cecil Cooper. "Vuke, Vuke." for pitcher Pete Vuckovich, who rode with German Thomas, the Brewers' owner. Lessig's leaving gives next AD big shoes to fill Now that the initial shock of Jim Lesig's resignation has been felt, it is time to consider what will happen next in an athletic department that was constantly in the news for the past 10 months. Lessig came to Kansas about six short months ago saying that he was an athletic director who would work for the students. He was supposed to shrink the large gap between the athletic department and student body and he was on the way to doing so. One of his first acts at Kansas, organizing a tallage party before the season opener against Wichita State, caused a lot of controversy. The free beer flowed at the party and it was a rousing success. Most detractors had said that the beer was better than an unruly mob, but that never happened The open seating attempt wasn't as successful as the tailgate party, but it showed the students that someone was interested enough in them to try to change a few things. That was, however, the last act by Lessig that we will see at Kansas. And that is too bad, because if his start was any indication, he was going to do a lot of positive things for everyone involved with the University, not just the students. NEXT, HE' and the athletic department brought Bob Hope to Kansas for Parents Day and he had open seating in the students' section of the building. He did not without squeezing five people into two seats. Lessig decided to make the change from Kansas athletic director to commissioner of the Mid-American Athletic Conference. He will be going back to a conference that he had been involved with for more than 16 years, starting as an undergraduate and later graduating from GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Editor Bowling Green University in Ohio, a member of the MACI, where he then rose from assistant teacher to professor. "MY DECISION was based solely on my admiration and feeling for the MAC," Lessig said. "It was not an easy decision, because my short time at Kansas was meaningful." We have to take Lesagh at his word. A lot of people are making the assumption that he left the school because he was too nervous. This, I hope, is far from the truth. Lessg always let you know where you stood. If that was his reason for leaving, I think he would have said so. But the big question now is this: Who will replace Lessig as athletic director? FAMBROUGH HAS been at Kansas for a long time; nobody knows more about KU than he does. There's one big problem, however. Fambrough is a coach, not an administrator. Fambrough is the assistant for Kansas athletics than Fambrough, but him as director of sports, I just don't know. Also, I don't think that he would want the job. The best in-house person for the job is Frederick. Frederick, who came to the University after a coaching career that spanned both high school and college, has both the administrative and coaching experience that would enable him to tackle the job of athletic director at a major college. Frederick was the high school basketball coach at Lawrence High when I was there. He was always a very open person and got along well with both the students and administration. He has continued this since coming to Kansas where the ingredients are needed to be a successful AD. AN IN-HOUSE choice for athletic director would solve the problem of finding an athletic director who would stay for a considerable amount of time. The manager itself, an in-house choice will not be made. The choice of Chancellor Gene A. Budig and his committee will have a tough act to follow in succeeding Lesig. He wasn't here for very long, but his presence was felt in that short time. Jim Lessig, the students at the University of Kansas will miss you. Predictions
