KU tries for No.2 in first road game
By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Editor
The Kansas Jayhawks, coming off an impressive offensive showing last week, will try to make it two victories in a row tomorrow in their first road game of the season against the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, Ky.
The Jayhawks will be the Wildcats' third Bight eight opponent of the season. Kentucky was beaten by Kansas State, 23-9, and Oklahoma, 29-8. But KU Coach Don Fambrough said yesterday that those scores don't mean Kenny won't be a worthy opponent for the Jayhawks.
"I don't see any way we can look past Kentucky," Fambrigh said. "Most of the players that we are going to play against against us last year and we were fortunate to
THE JAYHAWKES were a hungry team last week, and it showed. The offense moved at will against Texas Christian. The defense was good at times, but it allowed some big plays. The Jayhawks have given up four touchdowns, and they now are the shortest of those was a 43-vard touchdown pass.
"If does not necessarily make us happy that the only way our awards are scoring on us is by throwing long," Fambraugh said. "We've got to put more pressure on the pass rush to help our secondary, because if we don't we are going to be in trouble.
"We have talent in the secondary, but it has been a combination of things. It is something we do well."
The KU defense got a little bit of a scare Wednesday when defensive tackle Broderick Thompson, who has deflected three passes this season, which ties him for the Big Eight lead, and the team's top scorer in injury. Fambrigh said, however, that Thompson would be at full strength for the game.
The starting secondary may change for the second straight week. Last week, Elvis Patterson started for Jeffrey Brown at left cornerback and will start again this weekend. Right cornerback Rod Demeritte and strong first down specialist Gary周, and Fambrough said he had not yet decided whether Roger Foote or Robert Gervent would start at the free safety spot.
EDDIE SIMMONS and Mike Arbanas will again be the inside linebackers for the Jayhawks. They lead Kansas in tackles hawkshawks andirk barkers and Thompson will be the tackles, and Walter
Parrish will start at nose guard. Marky and Carky Alexander and Tim Friess will share the time at the end positions.
On offense, the Jayhawks will have only one change, but it will be a big one. Senior Anthony Penny will start at guard this week in place of offensive ce-captain Paul Fairchild, who injured
"We've been pleased with the way Anthony has played this week," Farnbrough said. "He has accepted the challenge and has played very well.
*All the offense starts with the offensive line.*
*Can you get the protection for your guard?*
*Is it better to go with the guard?*
And quarterback Frank Seurer has made it look easy. Seurer, who was named Chevrolet Player of the Game last week, when the TCU game was televised by CBS-TV, will again be at the helm for the Jayhawks. He has completed 25 of 42 passes for 335 yards. And Seurer has thrown only one interception this year, compared to five at this time last season.
"I HAVE been really pleased with that aspect of the game," Bambrough said. "We emphasize it, and I enjoy it."
"So far we've done that, and I just hope we can continue."
The rest of last week's lineup will be intact.
Tailback Dino Bell and backfill E.J. Jones will join Seurier in the backfield. Last week, all of them should be back to full speed tomorrow, but all of them should be back to full speed tomorrow.
"When you play the backfill you're going to get beat up every week," Fambridge said. "You just have to bounce back and be ready to play." The backs aren't really injured, they're just
This will also be the first game that the Jayhawks play on grass this season, but the change will have little effect. KU practices on grass and the team will play on grass will be against Missouri on Nov. 20.
JAYHAWK NOTES-Kansas is one of only nine teams in the nation that has not lost a fumble this season. Last season Kansas lost 15 fumbles.
The Jayhawks will leave from Topeka at 1:30 this afternoon for the Kentucky game. They arrive in Lexington, they will go to Community Stadium for their last practice game.
Quarterback Frank Seerer is ranked 18th in the nation in passing. Missouri's Marlon Adler is ranked fourth in passing.
The Kansas-Kentucky series stands at 3-0 in Kansas' favor. The Jayhawks beat Kentucky, 21-16, last year. In that game, KU running back Kewell Bell injured his knee and missed the rest of the game; he will return to the Jayhawk roster next week against Tuskegee for his first time in over a year.

Plavers file suit to start own league
Bv United Press International
NEW YORK—As the strike by National Football League players enters its fourth full day, the union showed its resolve by going to a free play against the right to play in a renegade football league.
In Washington, Ed Garvey, executive director of the NFL Players Association, said the suit was filed in U.S. District Court and "seeks a declaration that the players should be free to play without being beholden to such business by unfair labor practices of the league, clubs and management council."
There was no indication when the suit, which names as defendants the 38 teams and the 14 coaches, was released.
Garvey said the suit was filed because "we don't want to proceed with the idea of an all-star team." He added that the $150,000 would
He said the first of all-star games of striking players would be played Oct. 10 or Oct. 11.
THE LEAGUE will be composed of striking NFL players, and its games will be televised to more than 32 million homes wired with cable TV. Ted Turner's Atlanta Super-Station WTFS.
"We regret the league season is in jeopardy, but we are going to do our best to provide the fans across the country with professional-quality football." Turner said.
Volleyball team loses to Missouri
Sports Writer
By EVELYN SEDLACEK Sports Writer
The Kansas volleyball squad dropped to 3-8 on the season following a 14-12 win and 8-15 loss to Maryland.
"We were a little over-anxious," KU Coach Bob Lockwood said. "That didn't help a whole lot when the third game rolled around. At that point, the team became a little frustrated with the loss of the first two games. That could have been one negative aspect in last night's loss."
Bouncing back after the loss to Missouri shouldn't be a problem, according to Lockwood.
In the first game of the match, Missouri and Kansas played back and forth in aggressive play. The Tigers won, however, 17-15. Kansas played even harder in the second and third games, but the Tigers still had enough to beat the Javahaws.
"We look at all the positive things in last night's game," he said. "There was a lot of improvement from our game against Missouri. There was growth to the team. It wasn't just six individuals out there on the court, but rather a combination of the team working together."
After noting a wide assortment of improvements during last night's game, Lockwood is looking at the team from a different point of view.
Earlier this week at practice , Lockwood stressed the importance of concentrating on at least two of the team's weakest areas: serve reception and net attack.
"We had only a few violations that forced us from winning the game, and I can't blame the
encounters for their calls." Lockwood said. "The team worked very hard this week giving all they had, and it seems to have taken a positive effect on the outcome of their scoring."
How did Lockwood and his team accomplish this task?
A list of 20 terms for improving the team as a unit was posted on Lockwood's chalkboard this week. If any of the members didn't work with those terms, then they were instructed to run laps. According to Lockwood, it's easier to talk to each other on the court than to run.
"I'm proud of the way the team played against Missouri," Lockwood said. "I can say that we're not playing poorly. We just didn't have the momentum on our side of the court at the times we needed it the most. We came real close to winning."
Women's tennis opens fall season tomorrow
By JEFF CRAVENS
Sports Writer
"If we can't beat them at tennis then we'll challenge them to a race," Laura Runnels, Topeka sophomore, said.
That is the attitude of the KU women's tennis team under the direction of new head coach Scott Perelman. Perelman, who came to KU from Bali in 1980, said he was a bishop on base with a philosophy based on heavy conditioning.
"The players need to understand that they have to pay the price in September to be able to compete in the Big Eight in the spring;" Perelman said.
The women's team competes in its first meet of the fall season this weekend in a triangular meet at Western Illinois in Macomb tomorrow. DePaul will be the other team in the meet.
Dickey and Rumelis are the top players for the Jayhawks. All three agree that Perelman's conditioning program is tough, but they also agree that they'll be better players.
Senior Maureen Guilfoil, sophomore Steffanie
Perman was an assistant tennis coach at ball State before becoming athletic trainer.
"The practices are more intense than last year," Dickey said. "When you work hard in practice and see yourself getting better, it builds your confidence."
"Being able to work in an administrative post was great," Permanel said. "But being a head tennis coach has always been my dream and when this arrose, I jumped at it.
"It's hard that the women haven't been real successful in the past. I think, if we can instil a winning attitude, that the women have the talent to zuo to the top of the conference."
Perelman has the players practicing for two hours a day, with usually 30 minutes of
Perelman's main objective in the fall portion of the schedule is to evaluate how the players play under match conditions. He hopes that next year he can have a KU invitational so that he have some of the top teams in the area come here to compete.
conditioning work. They also lift weights three nights a week.
"I feel like we're working on our whole game," said Dickey. "We do a lot of running and drills." Guilfoil said, "Coach Perelman is really into the program."
Perelman, who wasn't hired until Aug. 1, is not yet familiar with the teams in this area. However, he expects Oklahoma State to be the team to beat in the Big Eight.
"I'm psyched up," Runnels said. "We've been doing a lot of drills and I'm ready to play.
"We need to improve on a lot of fundamentals, but we have a pretty young squad. The attitude is good and they're working harder."
The NFL Management Council has said that action would be taken against "all parties involved" if the players were to participate in another league.
Garvey said the strikers were given ballons last week to choose players for the four- or six-team league, which expects to play an 18-game schedule.
"We will announce who will play, soon." Garvey said.
The NFL has officially announced that the 12 games Sunday will not be played but said no decision had been made on Monday night's game between Cincinnati and Cleveland. The league had said earlier that last night's game between Atlanta and Kansas City would not be played.
THE UNION, which was still reeling from the revelation that the television networks would continue to pay the owners for the next two weeks even if no games are played, said in a prepared statement, "The provisions of the individual player contracts, which prohibit players from engaging in games not sanctioned by the league are no longer enforceable, since the expiration of the old collective bargaining agreement, the initiation of a lockout by the Management Council and threats by the owners to close down for the season."
League owners decided earlier in the week to close all training facilities.
"We plan to proceed with the league," Garvey said. "The NFL is out-spending us; they have lawyers all over the place and bottomless pockets, but they haven't won a lawsuit in years and maybe the law of averages will go in their favor."
In a related development, Garvey sent a message to Jack Donlan, chief negotiator and executive director for the Management Council, that said: "We are available to bargain around
An hour earlier, Donlan accused the Players
"It seems to me the whole thing has been staged," Donlan said after an appearance on USA Cable Network's "Sports Probe." "They made a proposal they knew would get a flat rejection. It's like the whole thing is clockwork. I think it's diversionary."
Association of stalling. No negotiations for a new contract have been scheduled.
"ED GARVEY'S approach has almost been on an infantile level, whereas we are issue-oriented. He's very loose with the truth on a regular basis. Right from the beginning, the negotiations from him have been in a manner. You must ask, what is the purpose? To me, the whole thing is a 'sham.'
Dulan, who is preparing a memo that he purports will show the players exactly how the owners' latest $1.6 billion proposal breaks down, said, "I've been negotiating for 20 years. When people bang up their two days before a game, then you've got to say they're not serious."
Donlan said "There are no current plans to make games up," but added he was still hopeful of getting the talks going again, perhaps with a mediator.
The players union's last request included a 50 percent share of the league's television revenue, although Donlan claimed that when other parts of their plan were added in, it came to 100 percent. The players had previously asked for 55 percent of all revenues.
"I've had no contact with the union since Friday," he said. "I can make the next call, that's no problem, but we've got to get something from them first."
"We were surprised when the union rejected the idea of mediation months ago. We weren't getting anywhere, but the union said, 'It's not time.' Then they set a strike deadline. You must ask yourself, then what is the time for mediation?"

Rangers edge by California Angels; Kansas City closes to 21/2 games
The loss reduced the Angels' lead in the AL West to 21 games over Kansas City.
Catcher Bob Boone's throwing error allowed pincher runner Nick Capra to score from third base with one out in the ninth inning and gave the Texas Rangers a 6-4 victory over the California
With one out in the ninth, Dave Hosteler singled to left and Mike Richardt singled to左 center, sending pinch runner Capra to third base.
