New blood livens Murray State for Racers' rematch with Kansas
Applause greeted Von Moore's return to KU's lineup
By GARY VICE
Assistant Sports Editor
Junior forward Ken Koenigs has fond memories of his first clash with the Murray and Yankees, a match that left him bruised.
It's not that someone who dominates the game by pouring in 32 points is easily forgotten, it's just that few players remain from the Murray State squad that absorbed a 72-56 past from the Jayhawks last season.
Senior guard Grover Woolard is in the Racers' only returning letterman for tonight's 7:35 contest in Allen Field House. Murray Slate has taken on a new, but unsuccessful role in the Racers' 4:1 on the season, have six junior college transfers filling their ranks.
KOENIGS, WHO filled in for injured center PAM Mokesi in last year's contest, said, "That's a game I'm always going to win." The game also one of the games I first started.
"But the Murray State team we'll be playing tonight is far from being the same as they were last year," she said.
There will be another difference tonight: Mokesi is back to claim his starting role as center and Koenigs will team up with senior Herb Nobles at forward.
recruited a lot and are quite an improved team."
"Last year we were a much more post-oriented offense," Koenigs said. "This year our offense is designed to be more balanced and not quite so post-oriented."
But none of KU's starters played much more than one half against the Bobcats, and coach Ted Owens helps, and expects, the Racers to provide much stiffer competition:
AFTER THE Jayhawks first game, a 104-5 blitzing of the Montana State Bobcats last Saturday night, Koenig leads KU's scores with 18 points. Junior guard John Douglas follows with 16, and Mokekli and Nobles each have 14.
"They'll be a good team to play," Owens said. "They're aggressive, they run the ball, and they're great jumpers. I expect Murray State to give us more of a challenge on the boards than Montana State. We'll have to do a good job of blocking them out if
we expect to dominate the boards, which I feel is important for us to be successful."
MOKESKI, 7-4, and backup center Donnie Von Moore, B-6, will be batting for rebounds against 61-1 center Danny Jarrett. The Racers also have another center, D-4 Donell Rivers. He is the fifth in a row of playing time. Woolard, the Racer's three-year letterman at guard, is 6-8.

Tough break ends Holman's hopes
By DAN BOWERMAN
Sports Writer
A professional arm wrestling table, complete with padding. A gold watch with his name inscribed on it proclaiming him a champion. He can pay the cash. A combined total price worth $1,100.
That's what Scott Holman was trying for and possibly would have won if it hadn't been for one match in the National Arm Championships in Los Angeles Saturday.
"He got a jump on me and almost beat him," Holman said yesterday from his bed at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. "I fought back and got his arm three-quartered of the way down; then I felt like I was shot by a deer rifle.
"I TWAS BEATING the guy then, all of the sudden by arm started flapping around on me."
Holman, Houston freshman, had won several matches before this one and had a win in his last game.
But in this match, his dreams of a national championship in arm wrestling shattered when his arm did. As he was preparing to put the finishing touches on
another victory in the tournament, the bone between his elbow and shoulder on his right hand.
"I think I could've won it," Holman said. "Everybody, including the president of the tournament, said they thought I would've won it.
"IIDDN" have any idea it was going to happen. I stepped. He could hear it sniff. It sniff.
Holman's chances of winning his division (160 lbs, and under) of the tournament were good because he was probably the strongest wrestler there in his division, and he had already beaten last year's national champion.
Now Holman is waiting for the doctors to decide what to do. A doctor in California said that the bone could heat twice as strong if the bone were cut and reconstructed Wertzberger, his physician in Lawrence, said that surgery was necessary for the bone to heal properly. Now, Holman and Wertzberger are waiting while an orthopedic surgeon in Houston examines the X-rays.
"Strength-wise, I was all right," he said,
"but my bones couldn't take it."
Heisman is no surprise; it's Pitt's Tony Dorsett
NEW YORK (AP)—Tony Dorsett, who shattered several NCAA rushing marks in spring, was named yesterday, as expected, the winner of the 1976 Heisman Trophy.
The 5-foot-11, 192-pound senior, son of an Alquippa, a steel mill worker, carried a heavy camera.
It was a runaway for Dorsett, almost as easy as his romps through Pitt's 11 victims this year. He has an all-time NCAA record of 6,098, a career total of 6,098, another NCAA record.
received 701 of 863 first-place votes, 112
seconds, and 30 thirds for 2,357 points.
RICKY BELL, Southern California's star running back, finished second in each region but polled only 1,346 points on 73 firsts, 486 seconds and 157 thirds. In back, he was another winner, back, Michigan at Bob Lyle, with 35-16-138 for 413 points.
Hohman's arm did break clearly—an irregularity because bones broken in that way could have been easier. But Wertzberger that muscle could be caught between the break, and that bone was dislaced.
"I'm REAL confused right now," Holman said. "One doctor says don't operate and another says operate. I don't know who to believe."
"I guess this makes up for last year," said Dorsett, who thought he should have won the 1975 Heisman, but finished four. "Not too many people get an opportunity to win the Heisman Trophy. It only comes once in a lifetime, except for Archie Griffin."
"I've got them two exactly opposite doctor's opinions. Holman said, "I just really want you to get there."
Holman's arm wrestling competition wasn't the only thing that was cut short by the injury. He was also a member of the KU men's gymnastics team.
KU gymnastics coach Bob Lockwood said that Holman's injury would weaken the Jayhawks, who already have been suffering from a lack of depth.
"WITH LES KERR) transferring schools and Scott (Holman) out for the season, it doesn't give us any buffles," Lockwood said. "We didn't have much depth before, but we just had to be more consistent and we can't miss my sets because every one will count."
Lockwood said that Holman's all-around score would be missed, but that his scores in the still rings, horizontal bar and parallel bars would be missed. The backstroke all-around and all-around grammars perform on the floor exercise, long horse vaulting and pommel horse.
"Winning the tournament we've been a great accomplishment for him," he said. "He wanted it pretty badly and probably we've gotten it."
LOCKWOOD SAID that a break in that part of the arm was bad for a gymnaset, and that Holman probably would be out of gymnastics for at least nine months.
But Holmian will have a lot of time to think about that and to think about the decisions involved.
"The first place prize was a professional arm wrestling table, a gold watch and $650" he said. "That's what I lost when my arm broke because I thought I would win."
Cannon fire sinks women Jayhawks
The Jayhawks, now 2-3, were led by freshman guard Cheryl Burnett with 20 points and freshman forward June Koleber with nine rebounds.
Tonight, the women face Claremore
Junior College in Claremore, Okla.
Philip University's Karen Cannon, an All-America guard, shot down KU women's baseball team with 47 points, her Baskettis with a 9-2/7 victory last night in Inida, Oka.
