A circus came to town Saturday night. Allen Field House was the big, leopard, Big Tiger.
in the field house lobby before the show, a pudgy T-shirt vendor wore a cowboy hat like one that Russell, once billed as rock's star, wore. The shirt was printed in the picture printed on the 7# stirs.

THE T-SHIRT MAN is one of an entourage of roadies, groupies and hangers-on that have tracked Russell he began his tour in the spring, his first in two-and-a-half years. He has been a key figure at Mary Russell Show", which brought about 7,000 fans to the Field House Saturday, was a large group with a thumping rhythm section and a trio of backup soul singers. The tour is a comeback try for Russell, a chance to regain the delicate guitar and soul music that has been missing in his last four lackluster albums.
As roadies jockeyed a column of 10-foot high speakers at the front of the stage, Bill Higgins, one of the concert's promoters, took a seat. She was also a show for a 12-piece band like Russell's.
"YOU DON'T MAKE a Hollywood picture without spending a million bucks," Higgins said earlier. "And boy, it costs to put on a show like this."
By 8 p.m., the floor and bleacher seats had filled, and the crowd, betraying little excitement, waited for the Skip Furry Purify band to come in. The drummer Furry's drummer launched into a rhythm on his highbeat cymbal—a rhythm that the group maintains for the entire set—steady.

Parents, kids get time off
While their parents are enjoying KU's 35-16 trucning of Washington State Saturday at Memorial Stadium, 17 children will attend the Hilltop Day Care Center, 1314 Orford Ave.
The Center provides day care facilities for $6 a child for each home football game, or $30 for all six home games this year, according to Joan Reibel, Hilltop director.
"Most of the kids we take care of are children of KU students and faculty members," she said. "We didn't get any children from out of town."
The children range in age from two to eight, and are supervised by two day care teachers, Steve Braun and Mary Lisa Pike, Lawrence graduate students.
During the day, the children are entertained in many ways. After a free play period, children get milk is served. Younger children then take naps while older children do such table exercises as painting, pasting and listening to music. They and they may play outside in nice weather.
The children seemed to enjoy playing in the large playhouse and dabbling in paints in the painting corner of the day-care center.
A little girl who was painting said, "I'm glad I didn't go to the ball game."
"You mean baseball?" another child asked.
Reiber was satisfied with the turnout on the first Saturday of the season.
"We could handle more kids, but this is a new program, and a lot of people had already made other plans when they heard of it," she said. "We plan to build it up gradually, but I think it'll work out all right."
"No, football--but it's the same as baseball," the little girl replied.

Buffalo Springfield and Poco, groups that blended concise songwriting with dynamic vocal harmony. Furry relied so much on the same formula Saturday night that his set resembled an album of nine tight, melodic songs with little room for improvisation.
THE GROUP'S LEAD guitarist hit fast staccato rafters and the piano player managed some short melodic solos, but Fury Hutchins was one of the best creative impulses, and the group played the songs most note-for-note as they were written. The lead player, apparently frustrated by his short solo spots, wasn't even on stage for most of the encore
The band's set mirrored a well-controlled album, but how unlike a recording studio was the field house sound system. The clean, crisp sound needed to give you a duary's vocals was lost in noisy chaos, the expected望见 from Furay and got it.

Booogie the band did, though with more of a yawn than a grin. With nine musicians in the orchestra, the woman chorus coiling harmonies, the band's sound merged into one loud metal roar. Only during the opening lines of any song was discerned discern Russell's bouncy piano lines.
AS RUSSELL'S ROADIES rolled his beat-up grand piano to center stage, the crowd came to life. Russell made a bluesman's entrance, letting his band gear up. He wore a green jacket his wife, Mary pressed in indescent green hoodpants, to her piano across from his own.
"We had problems with the bus and I'm feelin' a little droopy," Russell warned, tissing his flowing gray hair over his shoulders with a little help from you, we will be咕.

was the latest in a tour trying to put Russell back into the rock n' roll spotlight.
popular songs from years gone by peeled people in the crowd from their chairs. Even these songs grounded them in music, matched with age. Russell intertwined "Song For You" with the chorus from Henry Mancini's "Love Story," a testimonial to the lack of musical direction.
Sad to say, the showmanship fell away with the music, making the night a carnival without attraction. In his white plantation suit, Ruffian looked all the tired Kentucky colonel as he slowly led his back singers into the room. He backed back to the piano for a vocal solo that began and ended with, "You know, some days things just don't go right."
RUSSELL'S LAST song ground down into a chant of "Yes I Am," an audience response number that few in the crowd took part in. And for good reason: By this time it was unclear as to just what Russell and his music were. By relying on a sagging staggered rhythm, Russell looks likely to lose his lease on the title, "superstar."
after the encore number the crowd hurried for the exits, most hurrying by the Teshirt man, whose sales pitch was now more subdued.
"I hope we sell a couple hundred
