NCAA coaching limitations wrong
There are a lot of men who have or want careers in college coaching who are breathing just a little easier and sleeping a little slower—at least for the time being.
Their respite was provided by Oklahoma County, Okla., District Court Judge Charles L. Owens, who ruled Monday that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NAA) couldn't tell the University of Oklahoma how many coaches it could emply.
Judge Owens issued a temporary injunction against the NCAA to keep it from enforcing a rule that limited football head coach and eight full-time assistants.
TO BE SURE, the NCAA will exhaust every possible avenue to have that injunction quashed, and it will probably be several months or even years before the case is ultimately decided. It is though that colleges and universities other than Oklahoma can ignore bylaw 12-1, the rule that limits the staff of football coaches, it is
Even KU coach Bud Moore was glad that Oakland could at least temporarily keep its 13-plus coaching staff. His joy, of course, wasn't just for Oklahoma—he, too, wants to

maintain a coaching staff that he thinks will best serve the University of Kansas football program.
"IT'S BEATIFUL," Moore said when he heard about the injunction. "I'm happy not only for Oklahoma, but's its a rule I've never agreed with."
Though it could be argued whether every major university should have 20 coaches, having salaries costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, surely no one would be happy to see hundreds of coaches start selling life insurance.
aren't territorially interested in inter-collegiate athletics might wonder why a football coach needs a small army just to prepare for 11 football games.
But, on the other hand, we are going to spend millions on college football, it makes sense that each university or college should have a coach who will know how many football coaches it will have.
It is understandable that people who
UNDOUBTEDLY, there will be those who will gather at the summit of Mt. Oread to complain about how much money KU spends on college football and how little it spends expanding the number of teaching positions in the department of human development and family life. They have a right.
There is room for criticism of all college programs, and it is necessary that that criticism be considered and possibly acted upon.
But for a while, anyway, individual colleges and universities can decide for themselves how many football coaches they will employ.
Cromwell not struck by fame
It was a situation many students would have loved to have been in. Almost everyone dreams at one time or another of being famous.
And Cromwell wasn't telling them what they wanted to hear. He wasn't giving them
But this year's most famous KU student, quarterback Nolan Cromwell, wasn't loving it one bit. The look on his face indicated he had been the best of them in sportswriters, who were here Tuesday on the first stop of the Big Eight Skirtwriters' trip, going into this 'n that about the kid from New Jersey.

any new Cromwell angle or the big Cromwell "scoop."
He doesn't marvel at the fact that he's the star of the campus. If you treat him extra love, you'll be a hit.
He's not the hero type—and he never will be. Except for his athletic accomplishments, he doesn't stand out in a crowd, and he doesn't want to.
WAS HE BEING RING? Not a bit. He was just being himself—a quietly confident, exceptional athlete who has the word "modest" written all over him.

Royals outlast Red Sox. 7-6
BOSTON (AP) — Catcher Bob Stinson scored from second on a single by Jim Wohlford in the 15th innning last night, and in the sixth Royals outlasted the Boston Red Sox, 7-6.
The Royals tied the game in the ninth when Hal McRae, the American League's leading hitter, slammed a three-run, two-out homer.
Tom Bruno picked up his first major league victory with two innings of relief.
Sinson reached first on a single to right field and was sacrificed to second by Dave Nelson. Wohlford lined a shot to Rick Miller, then Sinson to rush home with the winning run.
Kansas City scored in the fifth when Fred Patek doubled, reached on third and Fred Lynn's throwing error and came in on Tom Patek's double. The Royals scored again in the sixth on Michael RBI double and again in the seventh on Al Cowens' single to center.
Head football coach Bud Moore said yesterday's practice was by far the best this week.

"Today is the first day we looked like a
Moore said. "We put it all
together."
HE LEFT THE locker room that day hastily. He preferred not to talk about his performance, but instead rushed out to see his mom.
By the end of the season, the 61, 195-pound senior had rushed for 1,124 yards (the conference best and the third best mark in collegiate quarterbacking history. He was named Player Offensive Player of the-Year and had become well-known across the country.
A closed practice has been scheduled for tomorrow in Memorial Stadium to prepare for next Saturday's game at Oregon State, Moore said.
And that was only in football. In track he holds many records, including the Big Eight mark in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles.
Still, he's the same person he's always been. Fame hasn't changed him.
He'll tell you it's the people around him. They are the ones who have allowed him to enter.
THALONE bothers some people. They can't understand why Cromwell won't talk about himself—explain what has made him great and how he could go from a safety to a Heisman Trophy candidate as a quarterback in one year.
He'll tell you it's the people around him who've made him one of the greatest quarterbacks in KU history. And he's not pulling your leg or feeding you a line. He's just being himself. And nothing's wrong with that.

University of Kansas football players no longer have to walk down the corridors of Allen Field House with towels around their waists when going from the showers, to the trainer's table, to the dressing room or to a weight room.
Locker room fulfills need
The inconvenience of a crowded room and travelling to Robinson Gymnasium is no more.

A football dressing and training room complex, similar to the ones other University teams take for granted, was purchased last fall by Yayahawks practice field by the field house.

NEARLY $320,000 WAS spent on the complex to make it a complete dressing
said, "It makes all the difference in the world. Each individual has at least three times the space he had before. It really makes it nice to come down here. And the music, it gets half the guys down here higher than a kite."
financed by private contributions to the athletic department.
Athletes walking to the showers seemed to be revitalized by the atmosphere, singing fifty choruses of "Play that funky music, white boy" along with the sound system. And some found imaginary electric guitars to strum.
"It's real nice for our athletes, Moore's and I'm sure that's what the team wants," she said. "was
room, convenient to the players and attractive to high school prospects. Clyde Walker, KU athletic director, said yesterday.
Tom Dinkel, a junior who might be seeing action at both defensive end and linebacker this year, said, "I could do without this injury." First time I saw it I got dizzy as well.
The lavish facility, which is carpeted in narrow red and blue stripes, combines a spacious dressing area with a weight room, room, sauna, training room and showers.
Senior wide receiver Waddell Smith snai last year's facilities didn't even look like a desk.

After practicing under the hot late-afternoon sun, the athletes amble into the dressing room, which is soon to be airconditioned, and unwind with stereo music piped in over six large Genesis speakers hung from the walls.
"This is what it should have been here all
time," he said. "It was the big Eight you
expect things to be like."
Walker also said he expected the remaining improvements, including the air-conditioning, whirpool and a clothes dryer, to be completed by Sept. 1.
In the training room, situated near the two drinking fountains, eight benches, known as trainer Dean Nesmith's hospital beds, are available to repair the injured and weary. Whirpool units are expected to be installed soon.
SCOTT MeMICHAEL, a senior quarterback and players appreciated the improved facilities.
"Facilities help a team. They don't make a team."
"Coach Moore said he'd do everything he could for us and he's doing it," McMichael said. "He kept his word making some changes around here, and that's pretty important. I think having a winning season last year is beginning to show its rewards."
SIGNS TO motivate the gridiron warriors are framed on nearly every available wall. A few examples are: "Winning is a way of life," "Success is never certain, failure never final," and "Fatigue makes cowards of us all."
Walker, who initiated the facility, said, "It was one of the things I had on my mind when I came here three years ago. It was so badly needed. For a major athletic program like the one we have here, not to have even a decent dressing facility is disgraceful.
"We needed something to show high
athletes interested in our football
program."
