6 Wednesday, August 18, 1976 University Daily Kansan Nancy Lambros reaches for control Field hockey team still around Yes. KU will have a women's field hockey team this fall. No. A new coach has not yet been approved. Yes. This could be the sport's last year on the varsity level. The problem began last spring when the entire field hockey program was left out of the women's 1976-77 budget proposals. The decision to drop the sport rather than cut back on all 10 women's sports was met with less than enthusiastic response. And yes. The problem is still a lack of money. Protests by field hockey members and their coach, Jane Martert, resulted in reelection. That's the current state of the women's program at KU, but considering the club's recent turbulent history, that could all change rapidly. THE CLUB IS funded by the Student Senate, which allocated $4,500 in May, and the University administration, which allocated $2,500 in state money for the current year. "Field hockey is in good shape for this year, but the problem of sufficient money will always be there. All of the women's teams are getting better and are in contention for national competition—and as you know, you need more money," she said recently. Currently, KU and Kansas State College at Emporia are the only two schools in the state that play intercollegiate field hockey. The bulk of KU's schedule is played against teams from Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis, Springfield and Warrenburg. According to women's athletic director Washington, the club is on solid footing. Football is a major sport. LAST YEAR KU placed fifth in a four state regional tournament in Lincoln, Neb. Washington has stated that a coach will be named within the immediate future, but has not mentioned any of the applicants under consideration for the post. "We'll have a coach soon and will play a schedule this fall," Washington said, "but Runners get new coach KU baseball tryouts begin KU baseball practice isn't far away. Sports Writer KU baseball practice isn't far away. In fact, anyone interested in trying out one would also contact coach Floyd Tempel at the Allen Field House office before Aug. 31. A week ago the women's cross country program at KU was in disarray. A new coach had yet to be selected, the schedule did not change and athletes had to know which, if any, athletes were return1. By STEVE CLARK That was last week. Since then, things have begun to take shape, mainly in the shape of the appointment of Thomas Lionville as head cross country and track coach by women's athletic director Marian Washington. A meeting for those trying out will be at 5 p.m. Aug. 31 on the second floor east balcony of the field house. Tryouts begin in the morning. Players should furnish their own gear. "He's a super," Washington said last week. "His extensive background will be a fine addition." Lionvale, has has 15 years of coaching experience, has spent the past two years at the University of Oregon as an assistant cross country and track coach. Washington said that he would arrive in Lawrence within the next two weeks and at that time the season schedule would be completed and released. BEFORE THAT HE was head coach at Central Washington State for three years. He has also had experience in the California high school ranks and held positions at San Jose State and Westpoint Military Academy. Assisting Lionville will be Theh Hamilton and possibly Terri Anderson. Hamilton, who starred at KU from 1972-1976 in the long jump, came close to earning a bach on the 1978 United States Olympic team. He will be his second season on the KU staff. Anderson's presence on the staff is still an uncertainty. A familiar face at the KU Relays, Anderson was one of the nation's best middle distance runners while a student at Kansas State University. She will be entering graduate school this fall at See RUNNERS page 11 FIELD HOCKEY to KU has a history that outdresses many other Jayhawk sports. The sports' appearance in Lawrence was a gymnastism instructor Gertrude Frame. One alternative under consideration is that of switching the sport to the club sport level. A club sport at KU receives no money from the women's athletic office of KUAC, by the women's athletic office of KUAC. at this point the sport is operating on a year- to-year basis. We need more money." Frame introduced the game to KU women on an inter-class level in the fall of 1920. Intercollegiate competition for the women began in 1958 and since then has included many colleges. The "Hockey is popular," Framed stated at the time. "In Bryce Mawr about seventy-five per cent." (The Times.) The current phase of the program began six years ago and has been highlighted by trips to regional competition the past two years.
