Philly takes 1-0 series lead by defeating Orioles,2-1
Solo homers by Morgan, Maddox power Phils
BALTIMORE — Philadelphia's Sixto Lezcano climbs the wall in right field in a vain attempt to catch Jim Dwyer's first-inning home run. Philadelphia defeated Baltimore last night, 2-1.

BALTIMORE — Joe Morgan and Garry Maddox provided the strength with solo-homers, and John Denny showed some heart by outdouling Scott McGregor last night to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a rain-soaked 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of the World Series.
The second game of the best-of-seven Series will be played tonight at Memorial Stadium with rookie Charles Hudson scheduled to pitch for the Phillies. Rookie Mike Boddicker is set to pitch for the Orioles. The National Weather Service predicted a 70 percent chance of rain for tonight's game.
A steady, misty rain fell throughout the first game, but both Denny and McGregor pitched superbly before a raincount covered crowd of 52,204.
Danny, whom many said lacked the fortitude necessary to win in the postseason, gave up a solo homer to Jim Dwyer in the first inning. After that he allowed just three harmless hits and five RBIs. Bumby knocked him out of the game with a two-out double. Al Holland took over for Danny and got the last four
outs to pick up the save. The two combined for a five-hitter.
Denny's control was masterful. He stayed ahead of batters all game. He did not issue a walk and struck out five over 75% innings. Denny, the National top winner this season with a 19-6 mark, down the Orioles in order in four innings.
IT SEEMED FITTING that Maddox should finally emerge a hero. He had been branded as a goat for his atypically poor defensive play in previous postseason games. Most recently, Doddox dropped a fly ball by Fernando Valenzuela in game two of the National League playoffs, allowing the Dodgers to score two runs and post a 4-1 triumph.
Pattin feels pride when Schmidt's the batter

Whenever the Philadelphia Phillies' Mike Schmidt steps up to the plate against the Baltimore Orioles in this year's World Series, KU baseball coach Marty Pattin will justifiably have a deen feeling of accomplishment.
Pattin, when he was pitching for the Kansas City Royals, struck out 183 home run champ Schmidt in the seventh inning of the final game of the 1880 World Series. Pattin finished his career with 77 homers and two saves to Greg Lazinski, who is now with the Chicago White Sox.
While Schmidt looked at a called third strike, Lazinski went down swinging.
"I struck both of them out on sliders low and away," Pattin said. "I got Luzinski on two sliders out of the strike zone."
Pattin considers playing in the World Series the highest
"Players have played for a whole lifetime and never gotten an opportunity to be in a World Series," Pattain said. "For me to pitch for 16 years and finally get a chance to pitch in the World Series had to be the culmination of a whole career."
point of his Major League career
"It was one of the greatest things that I've ever experienced."
The 1983 Royals, however, were light-years away from the World Series and finished 20 games behind the Chicago White Sox in a doubleheader.
Although Pattin was successful in his individual outing in that final game, the 1980 Royals lost the Series to the Phillies four games to two.
Pattin said that he saw a difference between this year's Ravals and the Royals' World Series team.
"The biggest difference is that we had a closeness with that 1980 ballclub," he said. "I think overall we had some guys who had good years. We had 25 people, and everybody did the job."

Basketball ticket sales going poorly
Today is last day to obtain tickets for 1983 season
By the Kansan Staff
The Council will be selling tickets to organise living groups tonight and grow new clubs.
Follow the leader Sons of athletic department fathers follow in footsteps
He said the pace was similar because more All-Sports tickets were sold this year. Meanwhile, ticket sales this year only for basketball are lower than athletic department officials were anticipating.
Mike Hamrick, administrative assistant to the athletic director, said he was unable to determine why sales had been as low, considering the prospects of this year's team and an attractive schedule.
No single-game student tickets will be sold this year as in the past.
Of the 16,000 seats in Allen Field House, 7,000 have been allotted for student seating, said Tom Hof, the ticket manager. All-Sports ticket-buyers were assured of 2,700 of the 7,000 tickets earlier this year.
After two days, only 505 of the remaining 4,300 student season basketball tickets have been sold, the athletic department ticket manager said yesterday.
Today, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., will be the last day student tickets can be purchased at the field house. The $22 tickets also can be bought in front of Wescow Hall today from members of the Student Sports Council.
"I was really shocked when I got here Monday morning and there wasn't a I sat on the chair."
Despite low sales so far this week,
Hof said ticket sales had been keeping up with last year's sale of 3,300 student tickets.

Ed Manning, KU's new assistant basketball coach, has always tried to keep his family together, but it hasn't been easy. Eight years of a professional basketball player put a tough challenge, which moved almost once a year.
Manning's latest move took his talented son, Danny, away from a promising season at Page High School in Greenboro, N.C. The younger Manning will play basket for the Lawrence Lions this year.
Danny could have played out his high school career in North Carolina. But the bond between father and son in the Manning family was important enough that Danny agreed to the move.
"I remember moving around." Danny Manny said, "Really, when I was younger, it didn't bother me. It made sense. And I just packed up and that was it."
I'TS LAST YEAR, you know, at first I really didn't want to go. But we all decided it was best for the family, so we decided to move."
Danny Manning isn't the only athlete at Lawrence High School with a father in the KU athletic department, Jeff Johnson, the son of Athletic Director Monte Johnson, and Jon Patton, the son of KU head baseball coach Marty Pattin, are also part of the group.
Jeff Johnson, 17, is the only returning basketball letterman from Lawrence High's 1983 6A state championship team.
Jon Pattin, 16, started at catcher for the Junior American Legion baseball team last summer.
Danny Manning, 17, can often be found these days at Allen Field House during afternoons after
school. Preparing for the forthcoming Lawrence High season, which begins in November. Danny Koch will be part of the KU basketball team for practice.
"TIVE BEEN PLAYING against college competition about two years now," he said. "My sophomore and junior years, during the summer, the college guys from all of the towns around Greensboro used to come back and play with us at our game, we played against Michael Jordan once."
Jordan, who plays college basketball for North Carolina, was a first-team All-American last year.
Ed Manning said, "I've always loved to see Danny play against kids that were taller and bigger than he was, because that would make him a great player. You push him and make him do things he normally would have to 'have'."
Danny said that he was about 19 years old and living in North Carolina when he first considered playing basketball. His father, then playing for the Carolina Cougars, used to bring him alone to practice.
CONCERNED ABOUT the pressure Danny might feel with his being a professional athlete, Ed Manning said he told his son, "Play the sports that you enjoy. Play what you like. Play what you play just give it 100 percent."
On Sept. 22 Danny announced that he would sign a basketball letter of intent with KU. He averaged 18 rebounds a game in Greensboro.
Next year his father will watch his son from the sidelines in the field house. But Ed Manning still has a son watching his son from the stands.
Manning and Monte Johnson are probably going to see quite a few

KU volleyball team falls to Missouri

A fired-up KU volleyball squad took to the Allen Field House court last night against Big Eight rival Missouri for the best three out of five games.
KU's style of play was a change of pace from its victory the previous night against Benedictine College, as a quicker and more intense team challenged Mizzou, the second ranked team in the Big Eight.

overcame two rallies by the Jayhawks
to win the match in four games before a
crowd of 175.
In the opening game of the match, KU got its first substantial lead at 53 with a good block by senior Leslie Loyd and freshman Jule Beall Two Missouri, but the Tigers got the momentum and tied the Tigers at seven.

Both coaches called timeouts as the scored approach game point in an
Missouri quickly opened a four point lead though, before Kansas could fight back behind the help of junior Beth Vivian's serving, KU came within one point, 12-11, and after several Missouri substitutions and a couple of points, the game was tied at 13. Service was broken by both teams two times before each reached 14. The Jayhawks could not hold off the Tiger attack in the contest as Missouri captured the second game, 16-14.
KU scored first in the second game but could not keep the lead. The Jayhawks evened the score at 6-6 on a soft shot by senior Lori Erickson.
Missouri jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead to start the third game. Momentum fought the Jayhawks the entire season as the Tigers won convincingly, 15-1.
The Tigers won the fourth and deciding game of the match, 15-10, after turning back a KU charge.
Erickson said, "We played up and down tonight. It's a bad feeling when you score that many points and still get beat. In the third game, we started with a couple of bad passes and then we just got too far behind."
"We knew what it took to beat Missouri," coach Bob Lockwood said. "Our game plan worked, but we just let down in the third game and their lead was too much to overcome. I was proud of our fourth game comeback."
Statistically, KU was led by Bury with 11 digs. Erickson had 12 kills in the contest. Vivian and Loyd each had nine digs.
"We played well in the first game. And in the second game they were concentrating real well." Lockwood said. "We've got a long ways to go and we've been getting. They are working hard and I'm getting as much out of them as I can."
Tulane quarterback sacked in attempt to sue NCAA for 'discriminatory' eligibility ruling
By United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — A Louisiana appeals court yesterday stopped Tulane quarterback Jon English in his effort to overturn an National Collegiate Athletic Association ruling of negligibility.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 against continuing a temporary restraining order that has allowed English to play in each of the six Tulane games this fall. The order had prevented Tulane from carrying out the NCAA's mandate of inclusibility.
The circuit court rejected English's contentions that the NCAA was a monopoly that was unfair to him and denied him due process and that the ineligibility ruling was arbitrary, unfair and discriminatory."
The circuit court affirmed the Sept. 29 ruling of District Judge Revis Ortique, who removed the restraining order because he rulped English probably would not succeed in his legal battle with the NCAA.
The appeals court had reinstated the restraining order on Sept. 30 as it
Unless the state Supreme Court overturns the decision, the quarterback will no longer be eligible to play. If English loses at the Louisiana Supreme Court, Tulane attains Wiley Lastraples said, the team's remaining option would be an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
ENGLISHIS ATTORNEYS said an appeal would be filed today with the Louisiana Supreme Court, and the high court would be asked to permit English to play until the case was decided.
debated the merits of English's case against the NCAA.
THE NCAA RULED the senior quarterback ineligible because he did not sit out a year after transferring from Iowa State to Tulane, where his father is head coach.
English has claimed he fulfilled that requirement during an earlier transfer from Michigan State to Iowa State. He also has attended junior colleges in Pittsburgh and New Orleans.
If English ultimately is declared ineligible, Tulane could face NCAA sanctions and the forfeiture of wins over Florida State and Mississippi.
Tulane also could be forced to sacrifice the $340,000 in television revenues it earned during a loss to Kentucky and the $237,500 it was promised for television coverage of its loss to Vanderbilt.
