Wildcats look for consistency
This week's foe
By TOM COOK
Associate Sports Editor
Kentucky coach Jerry Claborne must teel that his Wildcat football team is playing in two conferences this season.
The Southeastern Conference school will play its third straight Big Eight opponent when the Wildcats host the Oklahoma State team on p. CDT Saturday at Lexington, KY.
"You'd think we belonged to another conference with our schedule against Big Eight teams." Claiborne said. "If we win this one, it would be great."
Kentucky's first two games of the season were against Kansas State and Oklahoma, and the Wildcats have come up with the losing end both times, 23-9 and 29.
The schedule doesn't get any easier, Claiborne said.
WITH CLEMSON, Auburn, West Florida and Tennessee also on Kentucky's schedule, the Wildcats are playing before playing these powerhouses.
Claiborne, in his first year at Kentucky after 10-year stints at Virginia Tech and Maryland, has a collegiate record of 138-78-8. He said the Wildcats would have to cut down on cases before they win a game.
"We've got some ingredients to be a winner, but not until we start thinking
under pressure," Claiborne said. "We don't have too many strong points."
The Wildcats will be without the services of starting defensive end David Thompson of Louisville, who underwent knee surgery late Saturday afternoon. He injured the knee in the Oklahoma game.
Defensive end Don Roe, a 6-2, 205-pound senior, hapertexted an elbow and is on a "wait and see" status. Defensive tackle Jeff Smith, who has missed both of Kentucky's games this season with a sprained foot, still is on the doubtful list, and tailback Lawrence "Choo Choo" Lee is recovering from bruised ribs suffered in a pre-season scrimmage.
IF THAT is not enough, first-string running back Pete Venable. a 5-11, 192-pound junior, has been dismissed for disciplinary reasons. Calipars said.
"He's been dismissed for disciplinary reasons," Claiborne said. "That's all we're saying about it. He's out for the season, but if he gets things straightened out, he's welcome to come back next year."
Venable played in only the Kansas game and picked up 83 yards on 17 shots.
George Adams, a 6-1, 208-pound sophomore, has taken over the No. 1 tailback spot. He has a 9.7 average per carry to prove his worth. Joining Adams in the starting backfield will be fullback Shawn Donigan, 6-0, 220.
Leading the offense is junior quarterback Randy Jenkins, a 6-1, 195-pounder. Jenkins, who has completed 32 of 57 passes for 381 yards, four interceptions and one touchdown, also punts for the Wildcats.
"The play of our quarterback has been inconsistent," Claiborne said. "We've had some good plays, but I can't say it's a strong point.
"OUR RUNNING backs fumbled nine times against Kansas State, so I can't say that our backs are doing that well.
"We've given up 26 points a game, so I can't say our defense has been that good," he says. "We have goals, so I can't say that our kicking game has been consistent either."
"Other than that, the kids have a good attitude. We're fighting for our lives. We just want to keep our heads above water."
Anchoring the defense is All-SEC defensive back Andy Moll. Last year, he was the team's third leading tackler in a single season. He scored 12.7 yard average, fifth in the nation.
Molls leads the squad after two games this season with 29 tackles. Linebackers Kevin McCellland and Danny Hawks respectively have 20 and 26 tackles.
However, the Kentucky defense has had problems stopping the run this season. Kansas State and Oklahoma combined have rushed for 557 yards, and Claiborne said Kansas also would display a "fine running game."
"KANSAS WILL have more of a balanced attack," he said. "And they should complement their running with passing more than Oklahoma did."
KU coach Don Fambrough said he was pleased with the way the Jay-hawks' scout squads had displayed the team's offense and defense in practice.
"The scout squad's jobs are so important and they have done an excellent job," Fambrough said. "Now, we need to prepare for both the pass and the run."
The Kansas-Kentucky game is the fourth in the history of the schools. The first meeting was in 1975 in Lexington. KU won 14-10. The last two games have played in Lawrence. The Jayhawks won 37-18 in 1976 and 21-16 last year.
Claborne said that for the Wildcats to win Saturday's game, they would need a four-third.
"KU has a fine football team, great personnel, a good kicking game and an outstanding quarterback." Claiborne said. "We're going to have to play tough defense. As for us, we'll be strong more but we need more because we sure can't run it."
JIAYHAWK NOTES — Freshman Dave Geroux was sidelined yesterday with a groin pull injury. He will be out for another trip to Kentucky with the Jiayhawks.

Running becomes part of life for Bajema
By EVELYN SEDLACEK Sports Writer
Running to classes, missing the bus and cramming for tests is one side to
Another is participating in university athletics.
Gretchen Bajema has the best of both of these worlds
and I have no doubt that she will do well."
"We have runners who, if they work at it together, are capable of placing in the top half of the Big Eight, said Theo Koehler. "They're a coach." Gretchen is a strong runner.
Bajema, who missed the KU women's cross country team last season, is back for her fourth year of competition. Bajema had her best season ever last year, setting a personal best time of 18:40 in the five-kilometer race (3.1 miles), and she said she was ready for the 1962-83 season.
BAJEMA, A WALK-ON from North Dakota, heard about the women's athletic program from Teri Anderson, who was a junior at Baja Jamaica was a senior year in high school.
"I had heard about the team and had seen them run a little," Bajama said. "Coach Anderson encouraged me to come to the University and try out."
It was on Anderson's behalf and because of the University's strong academic program that Bajema, a nurse, therapy major, decided to come to KU.
"You're limited as to how many schools have a good therapy program," she said. "KU seems to have a good program and I liked the campas."
The hills and the country sights of Lawrence have become familiar to Bajema. Five days a week, Bajema
and her teammates leave Allen Field House to be taken miles from town.
"WE DON'T run in town very much," Bajema said. "The pavement is too hard on our legs, so Coach Hamilton takes us to run on dirt roads."
And run they do — NON-STOP. Right behind them to ensure a proper workout and to assist injured athletes is Hamilton, with an ever-watchful eye.
"We don't stop." Bajema said.
"That's for sure."
Where does track fit into her schedule?
"I guess I've been running for so long that I don't have to fit it into my schedule," she said. "It's just a part of every day and I'd feel lost without it."
Part of that everyday life is spent periodically in the training room.
"Too many miles will do it," she said. So far this season, Bajema has had no major setbacks. One positive contributor to this factor could be a new weight program designed by KU's new strength coach, Mike Clark.
ACCORDING TO Clark, athletes who compete in different fields require more training.
Clark does not stress working on upper or lower strengths, but rather he works with the muscles.
"It takes time to develop a good strength program." Clark said. "A better athlete is our main goal." Sterling in condition is robot Brinema
Staying in condition is what Bajema plans to do.
"It's a good program," she said. "We're lifting three times a week and at times that won't conflict with the football team's schedule."
Stay by federal judge kills TV contract plans
By DARRELL PRESTON Staff Reporter

A ruling that gave colleges the right to negotiate their own television contracts was put on hold by a federal judge granted a stay of the ruling.
The stay would prohibit schools from signing their own TV contracts until after the appeal, school spokesman said yesterday.
Oklahoma, the only Big Eight school to negotiate its own contract, may have to cancel it now, according to Jeff Seal, assistant athletic director at the University of Oklahoma.
Although a federal judge ruled last week that colleges had the right to negotiate their own TV contracts, most Big Eight colleges have not started selling television rights for their football games.
Other college spokesmen contacted this week said they were awaiting the outcome of the appeal, and were earlier in the week by the NGAA.
SID WILSON, KU sports information director, said that the KU athletic department had not yet negotiated a TV contract, although the athletic department had talked with some interested parties.
The NCAA asked for the stay while it is appealing a ruling riled last week in an Oklahoma City federal district court.
In a July trial, attorneys for Oklahoma and the University of Georgia argued before U.S. D. District Judge Juan Burciaga in the U.S.
District Court in New Mexico that the NCAA had a monopoly of the rights to college football TV contracts.
The ruling filed last week said the NCAA was in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act because schools own their own football teams and have the right to negotiate their own TV contracts.
On Monday, the NCAA filed an appeal and a request for a stay of Burciaga's ruling in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, said Dave Cawood, NCAA spokesman.
Oklahoma decided not to wait for the appeal.
The TV contract for the game has a clause canceling the contract if a stay is granted, Seal said.
TUESDAY, OKLAHOMA took bids for TV coverage of its Saturday game with the University of Southern California. Seal said.
Seal said yesterday that he doubled the game will be televised, although Oklahoma attorneys had been examining the case to see whether there would be legal trouble to follow through with the contract.
The University of Missouri decided not to negotiate a contract for its game this week at Texas, according to its athletic office.
Carlos Fernandez, program director for WIBW television in Topeka, said WIBW would be interested in broadcasting KU and Kansas State University football games, but had not yet negotiated a contract.
Rovals fall three behind
ANAHIM, Calif. — The California Angels swept a three-game series from the Kansas City Royals last night with an 8-5 victory.
The victory gave the Angels a three game lead in the American League.
The Angels and the Royals each have
each other with three against each other
in Royals.
The loss was the seventh straight for the Royals, who will now go to Oakland to try to snap the losing streak.
center fielder Amos Otis, who went over the center field fence to rob DeCinces of a home run in the fourth inning.
Oliss and U.L. Washington each had home runs for the Royals, but they were not enough. The Royals equaled the Rockies's longest losing streak of the season.
Third baseman Doug DeCinces was the hitting star for the Angels, with two home runs and a sacrifice fly. The sacrifice fly was on a fantastic play by
Brian Downing and DeCinces put the game out of reach with solo home runs off Buff Tufs in the bottom of the eighth to up the Angels' lead from 6-15 to 8-5.
Tommy John, 13-12, took the victory for the Angels with relief help from Dave Gale who retired 11 batters in a Blue, Blue, 13-11, took the loss for the Royals.
