ASU's Rogers to coach Lions
TEMPE, Ariz. — Saying that the job as head coach of the Detroit Lions was an opportunity he couldn't pass up, Darryl Rogers yesterday officially announced his resignation as Arizona State head football coach.
Rogers, 49, said at an afternoon news conference that he accepted a five-year contract offer from the Lions late Tuesday to coach the San Francisco recruiting trip to San Francisco and Chicago.

Dick Tamburo, Arizona State's athletic director, said he would be "within a week" Roggers but said he might "within a week."

Fisk charged with battery
Rex Norris, defensive line coach, was named interim head coach.
CHICAGO — White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk has been charged with battery after a scuff at a church league basketball game. The owner Jerry Riebsdorf said yesterday.
Fisk allegedly tangled with a 13-year-old Will County boy who had become involved in a fight with Fisk's son, Casey, also 13, during a church league basketball game Saturday in a Chicago suburb, Reinford said.
"The White Sox are thoroughly familiar with the facts of the case and confident Carlton will be vindicated," Reinsdorf said.
Fisk, who was unavailable for comment,
as ordered to appear in court Feb. 20 to
receive his verdict, said he was not
aware of the charge.
Reinsford said Fisk, who was a coach on his son's basketball team, told him about the incident and explained what had happened.
"Carlton's son was playing in a basketball game in a church league, and he was attacked by another boy, and Carlton did the two of them." Reindorf said.
Further details were not available.
Derby ticket prices doubled
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Financially struggling Churchill Downs is attempting to reap the rewards of its most successful season and the highest price for the 11th Kentucky derby May 4.
"It's a big jump, and we didn't do it lightly," said Frank B. Hower, a track board member. We felt we had to do it to make things we need to do at Churchill Downs."
The Derby has drawn more than 100,000
grooms in the past 45 years. Derby Day
grounded in 1975 was 23,687.
Hower said the track was building a turf course and improving restrooms, corrals and rock walls.
General admission increased from $10 to $20, and clubhouse admission was doubled to $30. The least expensive boxes at the store were $45, while the most expensive tumped from $2,490 to $9,990.
The track Monday began sending invitations to 4,000 people who have held tickets in the past, and the reaction was swift.
"One person said, 'It's terrible, it's an abomination, it's ridiculous, I'm upset by it,' said Roberta Ashe, the track's director of customer services. "Then the next sentence was, 'How much do I owe you?'"

KU defeats OSU 84-72 despite being worn out

Kansas scored the first six points last night, and Oklahoma State could never catch up as the Jayhawks went on to defeat the Cowbys. 84-72.
It was the sixth game in 12 days for KU, and the Jayhawks brought their Big Eight record to 7-1 and are 19-4 overall. Head coach Brown said the Jayhawks looked tired.
KU jumped into the lead quickly on shots by Greg Dreting, Ron Kellogg and Danny Manning, who was the leading scorer with 19 points.
"That was an ugly game," said Brown, who was sick in bed most of the day. "I am really glad we got away with this one. We had a lot of guys being out and that's unusual."
The Cowboys cut the lead to two on two baskets by Bill Self. But a three-point play by Calvin Thompson, who was suffering from a debilitation, saved seven and Oklahoma State could not recover
"THEY OUT-COACHED US, out-quicked us and outused us," said Paul Hansen. Cowboy head coach. "They just outran us tonight. Their quickness with hands like
Manning's couldn't stop us from turning over the ball."
In the first half, the Jayhawks biggest lead was 29-16, coming at the 7-47 mark. But Oklahoma State would not give up, despite the loss of its leading scorer, Joe Attkinson, who suffered an ankle sprain midway through the first half.
The Cowboys cut the lead down to five several times and trailed 39-32 after Thompson hit a jumper with one second left in the half.
AT THE START of the second half, KU went ahead by nine but Oklahoma State got the lead back down to five with 18:27 left in the game. Then the turnovers started to move on, the team, who were led by Rick Anderson, who scored 23 points, 17 coming at the free-throw line.
'We played really well the first few minutes.' Brown said.
OSU committed six turnovers in the first half, and were within the first fifty. The second was 14.
"One stitch, we took three quick shots and had some turnovers when we had a chance to win."
Cowboys out-gunned in rough Big 8 game
KU took advantage of the turnovers and boosted its lead to 65-48 with 8:46 left in the game. Seven minutes later, Kansas got another 17-point lead to put the game away.

There is something in the nature of most cowboys that emerges when a cowboy senses action. It can be action of any sort, but if it involves a chance to routhough, watch out.
The Cowboys from Oklahoma State smelled that chance, or need, to roughhouse, and they came out last night in KU's 84-72 game against Iowa, as good cowboy should — ready to waddle.
The Cowbys showed the Jayhawks early that they wouldn't go home without a fight, and the Jayhawks showed the Cowbys they wouldn't let them go home without a fight. Push came to shove, and shove moved on to elbow.
"We knew they were a physical team before the game," Danny Manning, KU forward and the team's top scorer with 19 points, said after the game. "We just didn't know they were that physical. They wanted to set the game as rough."
THE PHYSICAL PLAY probably made the referees feel like a cowtown sheriffs. The reifs called 50 personal fouls, even divided at 25 for both teams. There were 71 free throws, which accounted for 54 of the game's 156 points. Oklahoma State's Rick Anderson had 20 free-throw attempts, 17 of which he
Pellock escaped with little reprimand from the sheeriffs with only one foul, but William
"i hit, it hit. It it's just part of the inside
of me," Pellock said. "I just try to do the best
I can."
Mark Pellock, who Monday was involved in plenty of action with Colorado's Alex Stivins, saw much of the same with Oklahoma State's Charles William.
Two players, Winfred Case for OSU and Cain Thompson for KU. fuled out of the game.
"IWAS VERY tired," Thompson said after the game. "I had only played six minutes in the last game. We were all just exhausted so we could to play together and help out on the inside."
Thompson played with a deep shin bruise, but he said afterward that it didn't bother him.
The inside game proved to be important, with 76 stray shots to be had. The Cowboys claimed 45 of the strays, and KU got 31.
KU's shooting cooled down a bit after the marksmanship of the past few games, but the Jayhawks still finished with 52.7 percent from last season and 60.4 percent down in the dual, hitting 36.1 percent.
Ron Kellogg, who hit a career high 39
round in an outbasked, was KU's second
second-round score, with a 15-7.
*We needed a game like that because State will be even worse. They are a tough team with it.*
"IT WAS A rough game, but I think it will help out in the long run." Kellogg said. "We've been thrown at the first part of the game, but the rest of the game was more under control."
Keith Lee, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound forward and William Bedford, a 7-foot, 200-pound center will certainly make their presence felt Saturday when Memphis State, the third-ranked team in the country, comes to town. (William Bedford)
"We will be really psyched," Kellogg said.

Award winner named
"The girls weren't getting the recognition they deserved," the associate professor of organization behavior said yesterday. "The girls were behaving awards, and the girls would go unnoticed."

Renate Mai-Dalton wanted to do something special for KU women athletes.
In 1981 Mai-Dalton started the "Women's Athlete Award Fund." The fund is now being used to purchase plaques to honor the most outstanding women student athletes.
Bivian, Omaha, Neb. senior and volleyball player, became the first recipient of a scholarship.
However, the original purpose of the fund raising was not to buy plaques, Mai-Dalton
One player from each women's team will be chosen by her coach to receive the award on next Tuesday.
She said she wanted to buy the women rings. Donations were the best way to collect
"ONE OF THE MOST prestigious awards given to male athletes was rings." Maldaiton said. "They were presented to the senior men by former athletes."
After the 1982 season, Mai-Dalton used the donations to purchase rings for the senior women's team.

The criteria for choosing a winner is broken down into three categories. Bob finished first, second and third.
"The first criterion is academics," he said. "The player must maintain a B average throughout the year."
The plaque is presented upon completion of the team's season.
BECAUSE THE FUNDS were not needed for the purchase of the rings, Mai-Dalton and the women coaches decided to use the funds to buy plaques. Every year one girl from each team plays in a large plaque. A large plaque with each winner on it will hang in Allen Field House.
The second criterion, Lockwood said, is dedication, and the third is skill.
The women's basketball team got a big boost from its reserve players and played clutch defense in the final seconds to pull out victory over Oklahoma State last night.

Vivian said the first criterion had special meaning to her.
Led by Philicia Allen's 12 points and eight rebounds, the Jayhawks' bench sparked out-scoring Oklahoma State's resseive boys 14-3 and out-rebounding the Cowboys 14-3.
Since 1981, Mai-Dalton has continued to accept donations.
“IT'S GREAT TO finally have athletics and academics mentioned in the same breath to get rid of the dumb jock stereotype,” she said.
With 5 seconds remaining, Oklahoma State pailed to within one at 72-11 when Jameis Winston scored.
"I wasn't sure at first how to utilize all the women's fund," she said. "Besides, NCAA guidelines require that any financings for the women be made under control of the Endowment Association."
WITH 3:38 REMAINING in the game, KU fell behind 67-62 on a shot inside by Jackie Glosson. Glosson led the Cowboys with 24 points and 11 rebounds.
Webb scored eight points, including six during a 12-2 KU run early in the second half that brought back from a 38-32 halftime deficit.
"We knew that if we didn't play as a team, we wouldn't win this ball game." Allen said last night. "We had a team effort, and we can be happy about that."
In the following three minutes, KU outscored Oklahoma State 10-2 with four points each from Allen and Vickie Adkins.
Last year the K-Club, made up of former KU lettermen, voted to accept women in the club and to begin paying for the men's and women's rings.
KU head coach Marian Washington said, "The kids understand it's a team effort, and when they get a shot at playing, they know they have to go for it. Toni Webb responded."
KU guard Mary Myers was foiled on the mounds play but missed both free throw attempts.
called timeout with 5 seconds still on the clock.
Washington was impressed with the important steal. Adkins, the Jayhawks leading scorer this season, had been held to 23 points by Oklahoma, but Adkins had averaged 21.2 in previous games.
The Cowboys never got a chance for late heroes though, as Adkins stole the inbounds and then let the defense take over.
"AT THAT POINT, everything she'd done in the ball game became obsolete," Washington said. "She made the big steal. Vickie Adkins always contributes in some way."
KU fell behind in the first half when they had difficulty shooting.
"We weren't playing with the intensity we've been playing with." Washington said. "It took a lot of heart and a lot of determination, and they came up with it."
Adkins said, "They stopped me the whole night. If they played a zone, they played a box and one with a player on me. Jackie Glosson was always around me."
In addition to 10 points, Adkins had 10 rebounds. Myers added 12 points while Kelly Jennings and Lisa Dougherty had 10 points each.
For the Cowboys, Siess scored 14 points, and Kathy Schulz added 12 points.
THE VICTORY WAS KU's fourth in a row and moved them into second place in the Big Eight. The Jayhawks are now 5-2 in the conference and 14-6 overall.
Oklahoma State fell to 5-2 in the conference and 13-7 overall.
KU's next game is against Colorado Saturday at Allen Field House.
