Cubs lose in fantasy series
CHICAGO — Even in the world of microchips and fantasy baseball, the Chicago Cubs have yet to win a World Series championship.
In a mock seventh game of the World Series simulated by a computer, the Cubs came up a loser in the game aired yesterday.
Detroit's Alan Trammell, the MVP of the "real" World Series victory, doubled Lou Whitaker with none out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Pigers a 6-5 win over Chicago in the team's fantasy seventh and deciding game.
Jack Morris of Detroit and Rick Sutcliffe of Chicago started the game but neither was involved in the decision. Willie Hernandez earned the win.
"The 'fantasy' game was broadcast in Chicago by WGN, the station that is the flagship outlet for the Cubs. Cubs' broadcaster Harry Carry teamed up with his former partner, St. Louis Cardinal announcer Jack Buck, to do the play-by-play. Detroit fans opted to have the action played with its announcer, Ernie Harwell.
A St. Louis company, Forsyth the Computer, fed statistics from last year into an Apple computer for the duel. The company had a reputation against their counterparts in other years.
The computer's premise was that the first six games had been split with each other.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Indiana players said the suspension of Coach Bobby Knight just added to the frustration of what already had been a disappointing season. Knight was absent from the Hoosiers'

Knight was absent from the Hoosiers' 75-60 back to Iowa yesterday.
Hoosier center Uwe Blab said that the team learned of Knight's suspension yesterday morning. Knight was handed a one-game suspension Saturday by Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke for throwing a chair across the floor to protest the officiating in a loss last weekend to Purdue.

Bench helps starters in defeat of Cowboys
By MIKE BRENNAN
Sports Writer
Not every player on the Kansas team has had the chance to be one of the starting five.
But Saturday night in Stillwater, the other eight players had to come off of the bench to help the starters and lift the Jayhawks to a 88-79 victory over Oklahoma State in the last game of the regular season.
KU hosts Nebraska Tuesday night at 9 a.m. in the first round of the Big Eight alpine golf tournament.
Kansas finished second in the conference race with a 11-3 record. 24-6 overall.
“You can go through the season and win 24 games and not have a good bench.” Tad Boyle says. “Going into the NCAA is very difficult. Having a good bench is important.”
Ron Kellogg and Cedric Hunter picked
Although the starting life are importa-
tional, KU's bench has always played a big rall.
e.
THE PLAYERS ON the bench have seen a lot of action this year. One reason is because of the Jayhawks' foul problems. KU has gotten into foul trouble early in almost every game this season, and Saturday was no exception.
up three fouls early in the game, forcing coach Larry Brown to go to his bench
Brown turned to Mark Turgeon who helped spark a second half rally with an unbelievable hook shot from the right side. The team lost and played 15 minutes, scoring eight points.
"I'm feeling pretty good coming off the Newton said, 'I was loose, tumble and fell.'"
The flu bug has also caused some problems for the Jayhawks, Calvin Thompson missed Thursday's game against Nebraska but started Saturday night and scored 14 points. He was still affected by the effects of the flu and played 26 minutes.
The heat in Gallagher Hall caused a lot of the players to get tired, and Brown continued to call on the players on the bench for help.
WHEN DREILING OR Manning need a rest, Brown usually turns to Mark Pellock. But Pellock was suffering from the flu and did not make the trip to Stillwater.
One player that usually gets into foul trouble early is Danny Manning. But Saturday, he stayed free of foul trouble and scored 35 points, his career high.
"They came in and played a great game." "They really gave us the support we needed."
Women beat OSU 72-60
By TONY COX
Sports Writer
When the women's basketball team played Oklahoma State Saturday in Stillwater, there were two things at the top of its list of scouts: stop Kathy Schulz and stop Jackie Glosson.
Glosson was the Cowboys' leading scorer and second in the conference averaging 21.2 points per game. Schulz was the second leading scorer for Oklahoma State and fourth in the conference averaging 18.8 points per game.
Kansas did stop them one way or another and won 72-60.
Schulz saw action for only five seconds because she was injured on the first play of the game. Barbara Adkins drove baseline when Schulz and Schulz was injured when the two collided.
Glosson led the Cowboys with 17 points, but made only five of 15 shots from the field.
"THERE'S NO QUESTION that we thought that Glosson and Kathy Schulz were two players we had to be aware of," KU head coach Marian Washington said yesterday. He was on Glosson. If they were going to beat us, it was going to have to be from the outside."
The victory gave both KU and Oklahoma State 9-5 conference records at the end of the regular season, but KU got third place in the conference because the Jayhawks won both head-to-head matchups with the Cowboys this season.
On Feb. 6, KU beat Oklahoma State 71-70 at Allen Field House.
KU's overall record is now 18-9. The Jayhawks will face six-th place Nebraska tomorrow at 5:30 at Allen Field House in the Big Eight Post-Season Tournament.
The last time KU met the Cornhuskers was in a home game Wednesday when the Jayhawks defeated the
TWO IMPORTANT FACTORS in the Oklahoma State victory were rebounding and free throw shooting. KU outbounded the free throw percentage from the free throw line as a team.
Free throw shooting will continue to be a big key for KU. Washington said.
"You've got to be able to do it," she said. "These games are very competitive and we have the kind of offense that's going to put us at the line a lot."
Several players contributed to the Jayhawk victory. Mary Merys, senior guard, led KU with 22 points, had five steals and dished out six assists.
"Mary Myers did a great job for us," Washington said. "Most every team knows we're going to attack from the inside game first, and when they sag like Oklahoma State she's outside game is going to be there. She also adds that dimension to our offense."
PHILICIA ALLEN, SENIOR center,
scored 14 points and had nine rebounds for
the Jayhawks. Vickie Adkins, junior forward,
led KU with 11 rebounds and had 13
points. Barbara Adkins, senior forward,
added 11 points and seven rebounds.
Oklahoma State's Lisa Campbell was right behind Glosson, adding 16 points.
Baseball team opens season with wins
By CHRIS LAZZARINO

The games, the first of the year for KU,
were arranged this weekend after a double-
header scheduled for Saturday was postponed until 1 p.m. today at Quigley.
Senior right-hander Charlie Buzard was the winning pitcher in the first game yesterday, and senior Jon Steiner got the save. Senior catcher Rob Thompson went 1-2 over RHI, including a towering home run that cleared the trees outside the left field fence.
The Kansas baseball team swept a double-header with Baker yesterday at Quigley Field, winning the first game 3-0 and the second game 7-0.
The Jayhawks will play William Jewell College at 1 p.m. tomorrow at home, a change from the original time of 3 p.m. Another double-header is set for 1 p.m. Wednesday at Quigley against Missouri Southern.
"It WAS A tremendous home run," head Coach Marty Pattys said yesterday. "My
tongue dropped out of my mouth when he hit it."
Sophomore right fielder John Hart collected the other RBI for the Jayhawks and
In the second game, senior right-hander John Heinemey was the winning pitcher with nine strike outs and two walks. Seniors Phil Rivers and Mark Bates both were 1-2 with two BB and a double.
Senior third baseman John Glenw was 12 with two runs scored. Thompson was 1-2 with three hits.
The game was stopped after five innings because of the run rule.
"I think being outside for the first time, things went real well," Pattin said. "All in all, I was pretty pleased. If we do a lot of work in year, we should be a pretty good ballclub."
THE JAYHAWKS FINISHED 23-25 last year and 4-14 in the Big Eight.
"We do have a big question mark on our pitching staff right now, and these games are important for us," Pattin said. "We really need to be able to get them in."
"We are going to have a relatively young
pitching staff. I think some of the younger kids are going to have to step in there. For us to be a good ballclub, they are going to have to play a key role."
Pattin's top returning pitchers are Buzard and Heeney, Sophomores Bret Morris, a right-hander, and left-hander John Quinn and candidates to complete the starting rotation.
Also at first base will be Christie, who will give the team good right-handed fielding Pattin said Christie was a good long-ball hitter who also would be a designated hitter.
One of the top returners is Thompson. He will be KU's N_1 catcher. Senior Todd
Pattin expects Steiner to be KU's the top pitcher in the bulpen. Also high on Pattin's list are freshmen right-handers Scott LaRue and Paul Henry.
Doherty is Pattin's top man at first base. Pattin considers him one of the team's star players.
"Tompany is one of the best catchers in the Big Eight and one of the top in the country."
"BEFORE IT IS all over," Pattin said, "our pitching staff could surprise an awful lot of people. We are a good打球ballclub, and we need to improve in a lot of areas."
SENIOR CHUCK CHRISTENSON and transfer Rob Peters are the top two second baseman. Pattin calls Christenson, a rebounder. Jawahres talks Jayhawes later, the team's "fireluv."
One of KU's biggest losses from last year's team is shortstop Joe Heege. Gary Lang, a transfer from Kansas City, Kan., Junior was taken over. Fattin said Lang had good range.
Glenn is in charge of third base. He was forced to sit out last year because of academic problems. Pattin said that Glenn was a key loss last year and that he should be able to help the offense with the long ball this year.
The outfield most likely will be junior Mike Ingram in left field, junior Hugu Stanfield in center and Hart in right. Pattin said Hart also could give the Jayhawks good left-handed relief from the bullpen. Schweigert also may see time in center field.
