'Hawks regionalize schedule
Bv TOM COOK
Associate Sports Editor
Kansas football fans had a chance to see Top Twenty material last year before Tennessee backed out of the Jayhawks' schedule.
The Jayhawks then were slated to meet UCLA this season, but the Bruins would have to make a decision.
Thus, Wichita State has become another in a series of additions to the football schedule designed to regionalize KU's football opponents.
The Shockers will travel to Lawrence for the next three seasons, including this one, replacing slated contests with 103 and 82 and 84 with Arkansas State in 83.
TRIMMING THE TEAM's travel budget is one method the KU athletic department has used to offset the rising cost of college athletics, and this season's schedule is a reflection of that idea.
The Jayhawks will open the season Sept. 11 at Memorial Stadium against Wichita State instead of starting with the at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
"In less than a month, we would have been in southern California," said sophomore tailback Kerrwin Bell, who hails from Huntington Beach, Calif.
But, if all goes well and the 1983
schedule is not altered, the Jayhawks can bask in the sunshine of California next Sept. 24; KU is scheduled to play in the NCAA Tournament against the Southern Trojans.
"I saw it on the schedule when I was a freshman," said junior quarterback Frank Seurer, one of seven players from Edison High School in Huntington Beach on this year's Kansas squad. "It sounded a round troop to go back there and play.
"USC HAS SO much power and prestige that it will be a fun game and a fun trip. No one back home has seen me in a beach or at the ocean of Hunting Beach will be there."
Bell said he thought the game would be used for a publicity stunt, "since we had to do it."
"USC is the type of school where it's everybody's dream to play there," Bell said. "Probably nine out of 10 guys on this (KU's) team would like to play basketball, and make us play a little bit harder, especially as who are from there."
Bell said he never had any aspirations to play in the Coliseum, site of the Trojans' home games. But he added he enjoyed going back home this summer and playing in the USC players. Some were teammates in high school—many were opponents.
"I TALKED ABOUT next year's game with some of the USC players and
it will be like a dream come true," Bell said. "Looking in the stands, you'll only see three sets of colors—red and gold for USC, crimson and blue for KU, and green and gold for Edison."
good manners.
Bell's brother, Dino, said the opportunity just to play Southern Cal would be a highlight of his career.
"The biggest thing is just playing USC," the younger Bell said. "Next is the home crowd. Having a chance to play USC and the exposure of being back home will be an extra incentive for us to win."
In addition to Wichita State, KU will host Texas Christian and Tulsa in non-conference games this season. The team will play against Kentucky at Lexington. Kansas against Kentucky at Lexington.
The Jayhawks' Big Eight schedule will be Oklahoma State at Stillwater, Oklahoma at Lawrence, Kansas State at Manhattan, Nebraska at Lawrence, Iowa State at Lawrence, Colorado at Boulder and Missouri at Columbia.
FUTURE SCHEDULES for KU feature an identical non-conference schedule next year, with the exception of USC replacing Kentucky.
In 1884, the Jayhawks will open the season hosting Wichita State and Florida State, before hitting the road to Vanderbilt and North Carolina.
Vanderbilt and Florida State also occu-
spots on the 1985 schedule.
