Cromwell's loss evaluated by league head coaches
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—How will the Big Eight Conference race be affected by the loss of University of Kansas quarterback Nolan Cromwell?
That may be like wondering how the Civil War turned out if Lee had won at Gettysburg.
"For us to win against Kansas and them to 'lose Cromwell, it hurts both of us,' said Oklahoma coach Barry Snyder yesterday for Big Eight coaches' telephone briefing.
"With him they very definitely could influence the outcome of the race. I don't know of any other player who could affect the outcome of a name as he did."
Switzer was sincere and pragmatic in his sympathy for Kansas' loss of Cromwell.
The Jayhawks, with a much less explosive Scott McMichael at quarterback, still have to play contenders Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado. And their performance may well decide whether the Sooners, who have to play the same teams, can regain sole possession of the Big Eight crown.
Cromwell saw a brilliant college career come to a harsh end Saturday when he tore ligaments in his right knee during Kanas' 28-10 loss to Oklahoma. The wishbone magician underwent surgery Sunday and isn't expected to recover for six months.
"He's a super team leader and we're going to miss him," said KU head coach Bud Moore. "But it takes more than one player to make a team."
But Switzer, whose only loss since taking over the Sooners four years ago came at the hands of Cromwell and Kansas, was less conservative in his evaluation.
"I don't think any quarterback has the effect on a team as Cromwell did Kansas," he said. "We lost Dean Fleins and got a guy who can run, Tom Lott. And if I had to play in that game we come up with someone. But Cromwell's the best wishbone quarterback in the country."
Most of the remaining Big Eight coaches were hesitant to say how strongly Cromwell's absence would determine the outcome of the Big Eight scramble, but they agreed that KU's hopes of finishing on top were diminished.
"I'm sure it will have some effect on the team. Particularly with the wishbone, you can't take a guy like that out," Missouri coach Al Onofrio said.
"But how much it's hard to tell. If it's a lot, it could affect the race conference. But it's all speculation. I'm sure when Pete Woods came in for in place of Steve Pisarickson, nobody expected him to play as well against Ohio State as he did."
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne, whose team plays Kansas in two weeks, agreed that the Jayhawks faced an uphill fight the rest of the way but added, "I think they have had an uphill fight with Cromwell in there once they lost two games."
Jim Stanley, the Oklahoma State coach, said KU's chances of a second straight bowl appearance were considerably lessened by the loss of its All-America candidate.
"I'm sure the people behind him have ability but it's hard to replace a player like that. I'm pretty high on the guy," Stanley said.
Intramural programs diversifying
When Richard Marcks, intramural director at the University of Kansas, arrived in his new office about two years ago, all of the floor was covered with trophies.
Those trophies, uncollected by their owners after the past years intramural activities, resulted in what Marcles called "a psychological backlash."
This year, instead of the traditional trophies, the division clumps in each sport into four teams. The division is now
for each member of the team.
"IN 10 YEARS," Marcs said, "I feel sure that the individual will rather have a picture of his team than some trophy sitting in a fraternity or sorority lobby."
Marcks, who came to KU from the University of Wisconsin, said that he thought there was too much emphasis on awards and trophies in intramurals.
"The participation itself ought to be the award." he said.
One fact that was important in his decision, Marcks said, was the independence of the teams. He said that they came together merely to play and then soon
parted ways. It's often hard for them to decide what, it's often with a trophy in the first place.
TROPHIES WILL still be awarded, Marcets said, to the overall champions in each sport. But they won't be given to the top seven of the individual divisions, as in the past.
Along these same lines, the intramural program at KU is trying to become more responsive to the entire student body, because of the few competitive people on campus.
Reds go for three in a row
By Kansan News Service
Sparky Anderson knows his Cincinnati Reds are leading the World Series 24, but he's not ready to accept.
No sir.
"If they beat us four storm now," he said, "the most shocked man in the world."
"I'll stick with seven," Anderson said yesterday as the two teams prepared for tonight's third game at Yankee Stadium. "I'm ashamed to finish something, stick with the long way."
Does that mean Anderson has lost faith in the Reds?
Anderson is sending rookie Pat Zachy against the Yankees' Doe Ellis tonight. For Zachy it will be a boyhood dream come true, but in reverse. He had always hoped to

be in the major leagues and to play in Yankee Stadium...but not for Cincinnati.
Intramural rankings same as last week
"It will be something special for me to pitch in this ballpark," said the 24-year-old right-hander, who had a 14-7 record this year, his first major league season.
The leaders remained the same this week in the intramural football rankings announced yesterday by the Intramural Officials Association.
"The Yankees were always my favorite team when I was growing up. I'd go in the back yard with a plastic bat and make believe I was pitching and the Yankees were in position, filling all the positions, everything. And when I played, the Yankees won every game. 15-4."
Regular season play in the men's division ended last week, and play-offs will begin this week. The top two teams in each division advanced to the play-offs.
Phi Delta Theta (5-0) remained on top on the Fraternity division, Pt Beta Phi (3-0) in the sorority division, Green Machine (5-0) in the athletic division and Lewis (4-0) in Independent Women.
Anderson will send Gary Nolan to the game in motion four, scheduled to be played tomorrow. If game five is needed, the Reds will send Norman, who started the second game.
Women's division play-offs will begin next week.
This week's rankings:
**Prioritary** Independent Men
1) Phila Tua Omae (3-0) 1) Giam Tuan Omae (3-0)
2) Alpha Beta Tua (3-0) 2) Class Action (4-1)

"We felt like this week in particular we needed to have the complete concentration of our players without any distraction," Moore said. "Frankly, we wanted to do some things differently and didn't want to take a chance of it leaking out."
Moore, reluctant to reveal his plans, said, "I will say we don't have any intention of changing our (wishbone) offense. It has been good for us to a point and it is an offense our personnel know. And we have the personnel to run it.
Based on performances in Saturday's game, freshman cornerback Leroy Iroyn has been moved ahead of senior Andy Reust, and sophomore Walt lacked him the starting split end job from senior Waddell Smith.
"We may break the bone more frequently and utilize the slot-L, but it is really no different than what we have been doing." He also said the decision on the No. 2 pick would be made unlikely "but he nounced until before game time Saturday. That position will go to either Mark Vicendee, a sophomore from Berkeley Heights, N.J., or Mark Lissak, a sophomore from Flossmoor, III. Both have been red-shirted thus far.
Joining Cromwell on the injured list following KU's 28-10 loss to the Sooners are second-time fullback Dennis Wright, who pulled a leg muscle, and reserve linebacker Mark Boyer, who also has a腿 injury. No. 1 Michael Michaelis is still bothered by a sprained ankle.
