Schmidt's homer lifts Phillies over LA, 1-0
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Mike Schmidt pulled the trigger with a first-inning homer and Steve Carlton fired bullets for 77% innings last night, powering the Philadelphia Phillies over the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 in the first game of the season.
The best-of-five series continues tonight at Dodger Stadium with John Denny, the league's top winner with 19, pitching for the Phillies and Fernando Valenzuela throwing for the Dodgers.
Schmidt provided the game's only run when he unloaded a two-out homer off Jerry Reuss over the left-center field fence in the first inning. It was Schmidt's 10th career homer off Reuss, the most he has hit off any pitcher.
That was the only mistake Reus made in the game, as he allowed four more hits before being lifted for a pinch hit in the eighth inning. It was Reus" fifth loss in five league-championship games, dating to 1975 when he was
Reuss, who received a standing ovation from the crowd of 49,963 when he walked off the field after retiring the Philies in the eighth, struck out three and walked three and showed up the remaining out of jams in the fourth, seventh and eighth innings.
BUT CARLTON WAS EVEN MORE masterful before running out of gas in the eighth inning.
The all-time major league strikeout king, who had given up no runs in losing his two starts to the Dodgers during the season, allowed hits in all but two innings but was in trouble only twice.
Steve Sax, who had three of the Dodgers' seven hits off Carlton, reached third base with one out when he singled, moved to second on a sacrifice by Bill Russell and took third on a wild pitch. But Carlton bore down and retired in the fourth in 23 at-bats, one pop to the mound. Then, after walking David Guerrero, he struck out Mike Marshall to end the ing.
Carlton, who struck out six, got into another jam in the eighth when the Dodgers loaded the bases on singles by Sax and Baker and a walk to Guerrero. With Marshall the next hitter, Manager Paul Owens lifted Carlton in favor of his relief ace AI Holland. Holland retired the Dodger first baseman on a line drive to right to end the inning.
Holland, who picked up the save, preserved Carlton's third victory in five league championship decisions.
LOS ANGELES — Dodger center fielder Ken Landreau jumps high at the left center-field wall in an attempt to catch Mike Schmidt's game-winning home run in the first inning of the National League Championship game. Philadelphia won last night's game, 1-0.

KC sports psychologist hired to advise athletes
By COLLIN HERMRECK Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
The KU athletic department officially has a part-time sports psychologist on staff. Athletic Director Monte Johnson has announced
He was hired by the athletic department several weeks ago.
Andrew Jacobs, a Kansas City-based psychologist, who has worked individually with KU athletes for more than a year, will be available to all KU athletes two days a week.
Jacobs works with Enhanced Performance Associates and is the sports psychologist for the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team. He will continue both of those jobs, Johnson said.
Jacobs' first experience at KU last year was primarily working with swimming and track athletes once a week. Most of his work was done with little financial compensation.
HIS JOB INCLUDES working with KU athletes to help combat problems such as stress, anxiety, concentration lapses and short attention spans. Students can participate in physical sessions, hypnosis and physical exercises.
Johnson said a certain amount of positive input from coaches who had worked with Jacobs
was a reason for hiring a sports psychologist.
Having him around twice a week, Johnson said,
would allow other athletes to use his available help.
After receiving a B.A. degree in psychology at Vanderbilt University in 1976, Jacobs completed his doctorate in clinical psychology at the California School of Psychology in San Diego in 1981. At that time, he returned to Kansas City to set up a private practice.
KU coaches who have worked with Jacobs, including women's track coach Carla Coffey and assistant men's track coach Roger Bowen, have expressed pleasure in the results of his work.
SEVEN SWIMMERS also worked with Jacobs last year including some of the women who swam in the NCAA Championships. Jacobs traveled with the team to meet in Lincoln,
"I think he's a tremendous help to us," swimming coach Gary Kempf said yesterday. "It's just another area of expertise that we are able to use."
Kempf said swimmers sometimes reached a plateau where they had a hard time at meets and got really depressed. Jacobs, he said, had been able to help athletes in that situation.

By United Press International
NEW YORK — Yankee outfielder Winfield filed suit against his boss, George Steinbrenner, for $2.6 million yesterday, alleging that the Yankee owner has once again failed to provide Winfield's charitable foundation with his promised $200,000 a year.
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by the David Winfield Foundation, Fort Lee, N.J., alleged that Steinbrenner had contributed only $150,000 to the foundation.

Senior Lori Erickson was named Big Eight volleyball Player of the Week yesterday for her play in leading the Jayhawks to a first-place finish in the Tulsa Golden Hurricane Classic last weekend.
Erickson said that she felt honored about receiving the award and that her play in the tournament turned around after beating Iowa State Friday night.
"After we beat them," she said, "I think we thought that we were good
enough to win the tournament so

Coach Bob Lockwood said that Erickson's performance was excellent and that the team had an outstanding week.

"She played good backcourt defense and a complete game." Lockwood said. "She was strong throughout the tournament.
This is the first year that the award has been given.
