Former Kansas football player shows speed at NFL combine
Former Kansas defensive lineman David McMillan participated in the National Football League's scouting combine yesterday.
The combine is a series of tests to determine the physical abilities of potential NFL athletes.
According to the NFL, McMillan posted a time of 4.60 seconds in the 40-yard dash, one of the fastest times among defensive linemen. Of the 38 linemen who ran, McMillan finished second and the best in his group.
The only participant who posted a better time than McMillan was Wisconsin's Erasmus James who ran a 4.53. McMillan's time was even better than running back Maurice Clarett who ran his 40-yard dash time at more than 4.70.
McMillan was the only Kansas senior invited to the combine, and his 40-yard dash time yesterday was better than many projected first-round picks at the position. Georgia's David Pollack, a three time All-America selection, ran a 4.80, as did Iowa's Matt Roth.
Clarett, seeking a court order to participate in last season's draft, unsuccessfully sued the NFL. Two years ago, he left Ohio State amid accusations of violations of NCAA rules. Clarett was a big part of Ohio State's national championship team.

Kansas moves up the ranks, continues streak in the polly
Kansas jumped one spot to No. 7 in the Associated Press college basketball poll yesterday, after defeating Oklahoma State on Sunday.
The Jayhawks appeared in their 91st straight poll, the second longest active streak. The Duke Blue Devils, who came in at No. 6 this week, appeared in their 164th consecutive poll.
The illini (28-0) defeated Northwestern in their only game last week to remain No. 1 and clinch their second straight Big Ten title.
The 13-week run at No. 1 is the longest since Kansas was on top for 15 straight polls in 1996-97. Five weeks is the longest streak since Duke's five-week run in 2001-02.

Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained numerous errors. An article on the front page of sports said that Sheldon Battle was ranked second in the Big 12 Conference in the shot put. He is actually ranked first. Also, a list with that story said that Kim Clark and Matt Baysinger competed in the 600-meter run. Their event was the 600-yard run. Additionally, the list said that only 15 individuals qualified for the Big 12 All-Conference Team. Actually, several players were left off and several players qualified in multiple events. Those individuals, their events and finishes are listed to the right.

Jayhawks face Bears in one-game standoff
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANKSAN SPORTWRITER
Matt Baty, junior outfielder, heads for home plate after rounding third base Friday afternoon. Baty hit 2-4, scored two runs and had 3 RBIs during Kansas's 11-1 victory against Northern Colorado. Today the jayhawks will play host to Southwest Missouri State at 3 p.m. today at Hooland Ballpark.
After back-to-back, multiple-game home series, the Kansas baseball team will take on Southwest Missouri State today in a one-game showdown.
For the Jayhawks, junior outfielder Gus Milner has led the
Kansas (12-4) has had early success at home this season, with a four-game sweep of South Dakota State and two-out-of-three wins from Northern Colorado over the weekend.
Coach Keith Guttin's Bears are led offensively by Jarrod White, freshman infielder, who is hitting .333 with three doubles in his three starts. White spent the fall semester at the University of Arkansas.
The Bears (1-5) will attempt to find success on the road, where the team has played all its games.
SMS comes into today's game after picking up two losses during the weekend at the Southern Mississippi Invitational. Errors factored into a late-inning 8-7 Southern Mississippi defeat and a 9-0 blow from Mercer.
But a rocky start to this season does not erase recent successes for SMS. The Bears are coming off of a third place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2004 and a 51-28 overall record.
SMS and Kansas recruit many of the same players, coach Ritch Price said.
"They're a great team," said junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke. "I love playing those guys."
In SMS's 41-year baseball history, the Bears have completed 23 30-win seasons. Even more noteworthy is the Bears' 2003 trip to the College World Series.
In the history of Kansas baseball beginning in 1879, the team has had only 10 30-win seasons. Two of those seasons were under Price.
"Their coaching staff does a great job," Price said. "It's two of the games that I enjoy most in the course of the season."
way at the plate. Milner is batting at a .400 clip, complete with 10RBIs. Sean Richardson, senior catcher, has remained steady at .392 with five doubles. Matt Baty, junior outfielder, continues to be the dominant force, hitting .388 and knocking in 18 runs.
Right-hander Kodiak Quick (4-0) was the projected starter, but his two-inning appearance in Saturday night's game took him off of the list.
Neither the Jayhawks nor the Bears has released the names of a starter, but both teams bring depth and talent to the mound.
SMS pitching is led by sophomore Brett Sinkbeil, who was last season's Missouri Valley Conference freshman of the year.
In last year's two-game match-up, the teams walked away with a split. The Jayhawks defeated the Bears 7-6 in Springfield, Mo., while the Jayhawks blew a ninth inning 8-4 lead at Hoglund Ballbark to lose 11-8 in game two.
"It's become a really good rivalry." Price said.
The first pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.
