After years of constant beattings Kansas State finally got a punch in.

Siena coach to fill Georgia Tech position
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
ATLANTA — Siena coach Paul Hewitt is the new basketball coach at Georgia Tech, succeeding Bobby Cremins, The Associated Press learned yesterday.
A source familiar with the search, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Hewitt could be introduced as the Yellow Jackets' coach as soon as today. In Albany, N.Y., Hewitt boarded a plane for Atlanta today but declined comment.
His contract at Siena runs through the 2002-2003 season, but includes a buyout provision that will allow him to take the Georgia Tech job.
Officials at Georgia Tech and Siena also would not comment. Hewitt, who has a 71-27 record in three years at Siena, becomes the first black basketball coach at
Georgia Tech.

ances, including the Final Four in 1990. But the Yellow Jackets have fallen on hard times, reaching the tournament only once in Cremins' last seven years.
Cremins announced Feb. 18 that he would not return, saying the Tech program needed a new direction. He accepted $1.5 million to buy out the final three years of his contract.
Crew may have died before plane crashed
WASHINGTON — Tension grew as air traffic controllers called on civilian and military planes to try to contact Payne Stewart's Learjet, which was off course and not responding to messages before it crashed in October.
GOLF
"We're ... worried about this guy that's unresponsive, climbing and probably going to die," one controller radioed, hours into the chase.
Controllers' attempts to contact the doomed plane and efforts to get other pilots to help are heard on three hours of audio tape made public yesterday by the Federal Aviation Administration.
All six people aboard the plane may have been dead or unconscious by the time it crashed. The investigation into the cause of the crash is not yet complete.
Both civilian and military pilots were able to see the Learjet as it flew steadily on, but none could get an answer from the pilot.
After taking off from Orlando, Fla.
for Dallas, the plane climbed to
high altitude, then went off course
— probably on autopilot — and
finally crashed in South Dakota.
The last radio message from the plane came at 9:27 a.m.: "Three nine zero bravo alpha," the simple acknowledgment that the pilot had been cleared to climb to 39,000 feet.
Six minutes later, Jacksonville air traffic control radioed the plane and got no response. Controllers tried again three minutes later and quickly became concerned as the craft rose above its assigned altitude
It was not clear whether the controller thought the pilot was dead or meant his radio had gone dead. The FAA does not comment on the tapes when it makes them public.
At 9:38 a.m., a nearby airliner tried to help by calling Stewart's plane but advised controllers there was no answer.
HOCKEY
CRANSTON, R.I. — Bryan Berard, blind in one eye but hoping to return to hockey, does not plan to wear a visor if he makes it back to the NHL.
Leafs defenseman comments on return
"I don't like to wear a visor," said Berard, a red scar snaking below his right eye.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman, wearing sunglasses, appeared at a news conference yesterday in his first public remarks since his March 11 injury. He was accidentally hit in the eye with a hockey stick blade by Ottawa's Marian Hossa.
Berard's mother, Pam, wiped away tears as her 23-year-old son discussed his recovery. She was accompanied by her husband, Wally Berard, wearing a Maple Leafs jacket.
Doctors are uncertain if the former rookie of the year will regain sight in his right eye. The NHL bars players with sight in just one eye.
Berdard said he doesn't blame Hossa and thinks his injury would have happened even with additional protection.
