Friday, April 27, 1979 13 University Daily Kansan Crew to regional It will be the biggest meet of the season for KU's crew teams tomorrow when they compete in the Midwest Regional Championships at Madison, Wis. The University of Wisconsin will be the heavy favorite going into the meet because its teams have never lost a men's varsity eight race in the regionalists. KU will enter three races: the men's eight, the women's freshman eight and women's open. "We have had a week layoff," Don Rose, crew coach, said, "and we are紧迫 to see how we stack up against the rest of the season. It's the highlight of our rowing season." The crew team will close its season one week from tomorrow when it rows against Kansas State University at Shawnee Park Lake, just outside of Kansas City, Kan.

Chiefs trade Elrod to Cards Jarvis then scored into an open net with 37 seconds left in the game. ST. LOUIS - Linebacker Jumbo Eirro, who had asked the Kansas City Chiefs to be traded, was obtained yesterday by the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for an eight-round National Football League draft choice. The 6-2, 223-pound Eldrod, a fifth-round Chiefs draft choice in 1976, was an All-America defensive end for Oklahoma's national championship team in 1975. A Chiefs spokesman said Eldrod requested that he would play the game so that he could play more elsewhere. St. Louis' defensive coordinator, Tom Bettis, described the 24-year old Efrod as "in the mold of what we're looking for in our defense. Elrod, who began his NFL career as a middle linebacker, started two games as a rookie but was sided by a shoulder injury during the season and underwent surgery. "HES A FINE, aggressive and hard-hitting linebacker, with better than average quickness. Our team can take him by his head coach." He'll provide depth for us at the middle linebacker spot and give us added competitiveness for that position." CARDS OPERATIONS Director Joe Sullivan said Eidr was acquired after the team's scouts had looked over college talent available for next week's NF1. He later backed up veteran Willie Lanier and shifted to outside linebacker last fall. He played in each of the Chiefs' four games, mostly, as a special team member. The eighth-round draft choice that St. Louis traded was the one Cards received last year from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for running back Jerry Latin. Wild pitch dooms Indians Bv JOHN P. THARP Associate Sports Editor KANAS CITY, Mo.—With the score tied at four and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Kansas City Royals third baseman Trey Thompson had never hit against in the major leagues The Cleveland Indians, in a last-ditch defense, had moved right field Horace Speed to second base, and Brett faced an injury that would keep him out of the lineup don't win, as left-handed Sid Mongo threw a wild pitch and Willie Wilson came home with the winning run to give the Royals a 5-4 victory over the Indians here after missing the team's fourth straight victory at home. "I didn't know what to do." Brett said about the different defensive set up. He didn't know where he was going. Although Brett said he hadn't seen a similar alignment in his big league career, he said he did see the wild pitch that gave the Royals the victory. "I DIDN'T REALIZE the bull was going that far away from the catcher, he said." "I don't hit that many fly balls, mostly grounders. That lineup was a good play." think he kicked it when he was looking for it, I would have打hit the ball to lefall (which would have been his foot) "I've used that rig myself," Herrog said of the switched lineup. "It ain't a bad play. Their back was against the wall and they got through the balls hit to the outfield score anyway." Royals catcher Darrell Porter showed Herzog's theory was correct in the fourth. Porter hit a home run over the right field wall, his second in two nights. PORTER ALSO caught two Indians attempt to steal a base, extending his reach on the fence. Cleveland took an early lead in the second when Andre Thornton grounded a single to left and scored after catcher Gary Alexander singled, making it 14. Porter's homer made it 2-1, but in the sixth Bobby Bonds hit a home run of his own that gave the Indians another two-run advantage. In the Royals' half of the innings, Frank White looped a barely-legal single just inside the right field line and then scored after Bret hammered a triple to right center. Amos Ots, celebrating his 32nd birthday, singled to left, scoring Brett. Kansas City was looking good until the top of the ninth when Alexander, who was lucky to be among the first people to vehemently with the home plate, impried over a controversial walk awarded to Patek ALEXANDER STAYED in the game and that was a break for the Indians. He hit a home run that tied the game at four. Toby Harrahd doubled and starter Rich Gale, who hasn't had a victory since Sept. 4, 1978, was nanked. Hrabosky, 2-0, got the victory. Dan Spillner, who pitched three innings in relief, took the loss and is 0-1 for the season. The two teams play again tonight at 7:35. Al Hrabrosky came on in relief and got Duane Kuper to fly out. Dade also fled out, to Patek, who started a double play that ended the inning. Coach adds administrative role By DAVID PRESTON Sports Writer As a student at KU, Tom Kivisto was an All-Big Eight performer in basketball and an academic All-American. As an alumnus the past five years, he has been a tennis professional and the men's and women's tennis coach. Now, while maintaining his coaching position, he is trying his hand at yet another In February, men's athletic director Bob Marcum named Kivisto to be the assistant director of the Williams Educational Fund, which raises money for athletic scholarships. He replaces Don Fambrough, who is KU head football coach. So Kivisto, always the athlete, has become an administrator. "I LIKE THE administrative end," Kivisto, a native of Illinois, said, "but it requires me to put in extra time. As the coach of a non-revenue sport, I have to do all our own iternaries for travel, recruiting and public relations—and then I have to coach Kivisto, a tall, mustachioed, athletic-type, looks as comfortable in his suit and tie as he does in his tennis or basketball warmups. He is a good addition to the new role in suite of the additional workload. "So I was busy in the first place, and now I spent a lot of time in the evenings here That time spent in the office, however, is vital in achieving the goals he has for the company. "I have two major objectives here," Kivisto said. "First, I've been given the "SO OFFEN A student will graduate and move somewhere else for his first job. Then he'll get married, and all of a sudden it is time to realize it's he lost touch with the University. responsibility of getting the younger alumni involved back with the University. I'm trying to stimulate interest among them because they are one of our greatest resources. "We're trying to get them involved with the athletic program." Another resource, Kivisto said, is the graduated teacher who too often has been a professor. Tom Kivisto "A guy comes in here and gives his best for four years and although he gets a lot out of the University, he still feels rejected. He doesn't feel one does anything for him any more." "I want to bring K-Men (letterman) back to the campus and keep them involved with the athletic program. We have to establish a mentor so that we have a common goal." THOAT GOAL, Kivito said, is to build a strong scholarship program for student athletes. The Williams Fund offers incentives for scholarship donations and relies on alumni contributions for money to distribute to athletes. "You can be successful in both athletics and scholarship. It takes a special interest in the concept of operation on the concept of importance of winning, but not to the point where it will affect academic performance. There is no 1. And No.2. Both are parts of a complete program." KIVISTO'S RECORD indicates that he was able to handle both situations. His academic All-American status and his tennis and basketball browns were his most important success for the Williams Fund position, Marcia said at the time of Kivisto's appointment. But Kivisto said another factor had a big part in his landing the job. "I have been a part of a revenue sport as a player and part of a non-revenue sport as a coach, so I can be sympathetic to the needs of both."
