Blutcher causes quick problems
By ROB RAINS Sports Writer
Dave Blutcher doesn't like to cause trouble. But that's all he's going to give
Sprinter Dave Blutcher
opposing Big Eight track coaches for the next four years.
"That's what I have in mind," Blutcher says.
Butcher is a freshman on the University of Kansas back team, but he's not your junior.
In his first collegiate competition, Jan. 15, Blutcher blazed to a 6.1 60-yard dash and qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championship Meet.
I was surprised that I qualified so early," Blutcher said yesterday. "Iran a 60 in the intraasual meet and was surprised I turned it around that fast."
"I'm improving every week," Blucher said. "I know I've got a lot of room for improvement, but I feel I'm making good progress."
Blutcher, an electrical engineering major, has drawn praise from coaches Bob Timmons and Stan Narewski for his early performances.
BLUTCHER HAD since improved that mark-turning in a lifetime best of 6.06 in a dual meet with Nebraska last Saturday.
"There isn't a great deal of emphasis placed on indoor track in high school."
TIMMONS SAID Blutcher was easy to coach and had made the transition from high school to college without much difficulty.
Narewski said, "Until now, Dave had concentrated so much on track and field, and I didn't even think about running."
"Freshmen are under a lot of pressures that they haven't experienced before, and it is sometimes difficult for them to do well their first year. We're very pleased with the progress that Dave is making." Timmons said.
KU can thank a kid who lived around the corner from Butcher in Birmingham, Ala., for getting him interested in track. The girl named Narewalki for getting him to KU.
"IVE BEEN friends with coach Narewski since high school. He was the coach of a train club I ran for in Birthday Part of the reason I decided to come here."
"I wanted to go to a good academic school," Blutcher said. "KU caught my eye right off because of their high academic standing.
Blutcher has been running sprints ranging from the 60 to the 401 year, and

If you've been thinking about getting a programmable Texas Instruments has a special offer for you
There're 74 preprogrammed functions and operations. And it has AOS, Ti's unique algebraic operating system, the underlying reason an SR-56 is so powerful. It'll let you handle problems with as many as 9 sets of parentheses. Talk about memory. An SR-56 has 10 (11 if you count the T-registered.). And you can do arithmetic with all of them.
If you want an incredible slide rule calculator that's also programmable, then this is the one for you.
Chances are you'll soon discover how really easy it is to program. An SR-56 has 100 steps. Six logical decision functions. Four levels of subroutines. Decrement and skip on zero. Compare a test register with the display to make a conditional branch. And this is just the beginning.
Think about it. Can you really afford to put off getting your SR-56, now?
SR-52 $299.95*
SR-56 $109.95*
But learning to use it is a hassle, you say. Not true. Prerecorded programs are gathered into software libraries: Electrical Engineering, Math, Statistics. Finance. All you need do is load a mag card, press a few keys and you'll get answers that previously required a computer.
techniques like optimization, iteration, data reduction, what-if matrices, mathematical modeling, need not tie up your mind—or your time.
If you want the computer-like power of a card programmable then choose this one.
You can make your own programs just as easily. In just a couple of hours you'll begin to prove what a powerful asset you have right at your fingertips.
And there's not a better time to get an SR-52 than right now.
he said he wasn't sure which one he preferred.
"I think if I had to pick a favorite it would probably be the 200." Bluther said.
Other words published by law. Good in Continental U. S. only.
Butcher was recruited by most of the Southeast Conference schools because of his track ability and was approached by four or southern universities with football offers.

Butcher is aiming at conference and national rallies now, but in the back of his national team. "I'll be here," he said.
"I know I can't run forever," Blutzer said. "I'm planning to go to summer school this year and I'm going to do it back home up my spikes, I want to have that piece of paper to show somebody."
"THE FINAL decision came down to KU, Auburn, Alabama, Southern Illinois and Georgia Tech." Blutcher said. "I think I made the right choice."
