Athletics defeat Royals
SPORTS BRIEFS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Coming home did not make a difference for the Kansas City Royals.
Jose Canseco hit a two-run home run and the Oakland Athletics wrecked Kansas City's home opener with a 6-1 victory yesterday, leaving the Royals the only winless team in the Major Leagues at 0-7.
Kansas City had never lost three in a row at the start of a season until this year.
Mike Moore (1-0) gave one run on five hits in 7-3 links, walked three, and struck out three. Moore finished last season with five consecutive vie-
Canseco's fourth home run of season put Oakland ahead 3-1 in the seventh inning. Rickey Henderson drew a one-out walk from Tom Gordon (0-1) and scored on Willie Wilson's double. Joel Johnston relieved and gave up Canseco's wilson.
Carney Lansford doubled and
secoed on Mike Bordick's single in the eighth. Lansford added a two-run double, his third hit of the game, in the ninth.
The Royals began the game having scored just one run in their last 23 innings. A double by Mike Macfarlane and a single by David Howard in the fifth inning gave Kansas City its first lead since it scored in the first inning on opening day in Oakland, Calif.
Villanova chooses coach
Steve Lappas of Manhattan, who learned a few things about basketball coaching from Rollis Maximino, will return to Villanova, Pa., and take over his old boss' job, a source said last night.
After a 13-day hunt and interviews with at least six coaches, Villanova scheduled a news conference for today to announce the selection officially.
Lappas, 37, was an assistant under Massimine from 1985 to 1988 and
remains friendly with his former boss. Hehas only four years' experience as a Division Coach.
Lappas was hired instead of Nick Macarchuk of Fordham and four other coaches.
Last night, Bruce Parkhill of Penn State and Pete Gillen of Xavier University in Ohio withdrew their names from contention. According to reports, two other coaches interviewed — George Washington's Mike Jairus and Vanderbilt's Eddie Fogler
- asso w/whatever Lappas has strong ties to coach Mike Leonardo of Marist High in Bayonne, N.J., and might keep recruit Roscoe Harris. There has been speculation that Harris, Marist's 6-foot-4 all-state guard, might ask Villanova to release him from his national letter of intent.
On April 11, Massimoannounced he had accepted a five-year contract to replace Jerry Tarkanian at the powerful but troubled UNLV program.
