KU golfers compete in dark
By a Kansan reporter
The Kansas men's golf team competed in what Coach Ross Randall called a "comedy of errors" tournament March 20 to 21 at the Citrus Bowl Classic in Orlando. Fla.
Randall said that the Jayhawks second round of play was delayed two hours and worsened the team's performance because the team's top three players had to play the course's last three holes in the dark.
"We ended up adding 13 extra
strokes to our total," Randall said. "Everything that could have gone wrong did."
The team finished sixth with a 936 stroke total. Randall said that the team did not play to its potential. Jacksonville tied for first with Central Florida with a three-day total of 985 strokes, but claimed the championship after winning a two-hole play-off.

Purdue was third with 911 stokes and team member Lenny Hartlage was the individual winner.
the individual lead after the first day, but fell behind when he shot an 82 the second day. Bruning was the Jayhawk's top finisher with a 232 stroke three-round total.
"We were not playing our best the first day," Randall said, "and the way the second round ended affected us in the final round."
Other participants for Kansas included Brian McGreevy who shot a 79-76-79 - 234. Clay Devers who finished with a 85-76-76 - 237. Rudy Zupetz who shot a 82-80-77 - 239 and John Ogden who finished with an 83-78-80 - 241.

New Texas coach apologizes for previous NCAA violations
United Press International
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas football coach David McWilliams, named in December to succeed the fired Fred Akers, apologized yesterday for violating NCAA regulations while he was an assistant to Akers in the early 1980s.
McWilliams said he had admitted his involvement in the violations to the National Collegiate Athletic Association when it interviewed him last spring.
"They are certainly serious because they're wrong," he said. "Certainly, I made a mistake on those things."
In a 23-page report released yesterday by the university, the NCAA said McWilliams in 1982 arranged for the athletic department's business office to give a football player $50 to pay a university-imposed fine.
During the 1984 season, the NCAA said, McWilliams gave a player $10 to $20 to buy gasoline for a trip home to Richardson. He also loaned his car for brief periods to two other players, the report added.
University officials said they would meet next month with the NCAA Infractions Committee to discuss the report made by NCAA staff members.
McWilliams told reporters yesterday that he was contacted by the NCAA shortly after he resigned as Akers defensive coordinator in 1986 to become head coach at Texas Tech. He spent one season there before being hired as coach at Texas.
"openly talked to the NCAA and confessed to the NCAA at that time," he said.
McWilliams, a player for the Longhorns in the 1960s, said he was sorry for his actions.
"I was wrong in doing them," he said. "Certainly, I'd like to say at this point I apologize to the University of Texas, its alumni and anyone else that I've caused this embarrassment to. I'm sorry for that."
Akers, now head coach at Purdue, was cited for one rule violation - improper contact with a high school recruit in the summer of 1985.
However, the NCAA asked Texas for additional information on Akers' relationship with a booster and a professional sports agent.
"As I understand it, those are allegations, not findings," Akers told United Press International by phone from West Lafayette, Ind. "I didn't have anything to hide then. I don't have anything to hide now. I can assure you I have never been involved in any improper recruiting in any fashion."
Former assistant coach Dean Campbell was accused of implying to a recruit that he could expect to receive a stereo and clothes if he signed a letter of intent with the Longhorns. Campbell also allegedly told the recruit that since he came from a poor family he would not have to worry about clothes and stuff like that because the university would be take care of that.
Campbell also was accused of mak.
ing improper contacts with high school prospects.
Former assistant coach Tommy Reaux's name also surfaced in the report. Reaux, now an assistant to Akers at Purdue, was accused of working with Houston booster Joel Levy to arrange a job at Levy's Rice Food Stores in Houston last year for a high school senior.
Reaux also was accused of providing small amounts of money to players and paying $200 on a bail bond for a player.
Contacted by UPI, Reaux said he refused to respond until he saw the NCAA's accusations.
Reaux, assistant John Mize and former assistant Mike Parker were accused of providing transportation to recruits who visited the Texas campus from December 1980 through January 1985.
Other alleged violations reported by the NCAA included:
- A recruit allegedly was told he would receive free steak dinners, be furnished transportation home, could use coaches' automobiles and could sell complimentary football tickets for cash.
- Assistant Athletic Director Ken Dabbs gave players cash to entertain recruits on campus.
- Booster Albert Walker allegedly gave free legal services to at least 26 players, and boosters Louis Marks, Joe Ramsey and Jack Wise allegedly gave meals to players in the Austin area.

ST. LOUIS - Mike Cosner drove 60 miles from his home in Troy, Mo., yesterday and waited six hours to buy tickets for six St. Louis Cardinals baseball games this season.
Cardinals tickets selling well
And Cosner was not alone in waiting at Busch Stadium. The line of baseball fans who showed up the first day single-game tickets went on sale stretched nearly halfway around the stadium.
The majority of fans wore Cardinal red hats, visors or windbreakers, many with the team's logo. As usual each spring, the fans were optimistic the Cardinals would make their wait worthwhile.
The line moved slowly as many of the fans, like Coser, bought tickets for several games.
Some of the ticket buyers brought along lawn chairs
Before the single-game tickets went on sale yesterday, Mike Bertani, director of tickets and stadium operations for the Cardinals, said the Cardinals already had exceeded their expectations in season ticket and group sales.
and took advantage of the Bowling Hall of Fame cafeteria across the street, which was selling soft drinks and beer.
Bertani said the team could sell 2.8 million tickets if the Cardinals stay in the pennant chase this year, breaking the record of 2.64 million set in 1985.
"This is the most enthusiastic day since I've been here," Widenhofer said after the Tigers held their first practice of the spring season.
Spring practice is the first opportunity Widenhofer has to test the flexbone offense he has installed for the 1987 season. The flexbone is a variation of the wishbone that allows for more of a passing attack.
Spring football underway at MU
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The start of spring football practice could not have come soon enough, University of Missouri coach Wiley Widenhofer said yesterday.
"There was a lot of yelling and screaming going on, and it all seemed to be very genuine."
open four-man and eight-man boats finished first for Kansas.
In the varsity races, the women's eight-man boat was first and the open four-man boat was third. The men's lightweight four-man and eight-man boats finished second and the heavyweight four-man and eight-man boats finished third.
The new offense was not the only change from last season. New defensive coaches Carl Riese and George Hirsch were introduced.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The off-session problems the New York Mets hoped to leave behind continued to spill over into spring training when Darryl Strawberry indicated he was undecided whether to pay fines totaling $1,500 levied by Manager Davey Johnson.
The Tigers will practice 20 times before April 25, when the spring season will conclude with the Black and Gold intrasquid scrimmage.
Elliott said he hoped that competing in the regatta in front of almost 5,000 people and defeating competitive teams had motivated the crew to work hard in preparation for its final meets.

Strawberry may not pay fines
"We have been working hard since the beginning of school," Elliott said. "I hope this was a reward for the team, and I hope it let them know that their work was worth it."
Continued from p. 9
Strawberry was back in right field yesterday for the Mets' game against Philadelphia, one day after having left camp for more than an hour to protest the fines.
Strawberry, currently in separation proceedings with wife Lisa, missed Saturday's scheduled workout because of "personal reasons." Johnson docked him $500, and when Strawberry disputed the fine and said he would not practice Sunday, the manager told him "to please go home" and added a $1,000 fee.
The crew will compete April 11 in the President's Regatta at Lake Shawne in Topeka en route to its preparation for the Midwest Rowing Championships on April 24 to 25 in Madison, Wis.
Later Sunday, Strawberry returned to camp and was in uniform for the Mets' game against Cincinnati, but did not play.
