Old players meet young in race for NL pennant
By United Press International
LOS ANGELES — The Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers, two teams who successfully tinkered with the hands of time, meet in the best-of-five National League Championship game beginning tonight at Dodger Stadium.
Game One will be nationally televised beginning at 7:20 p.m.
Philadelphia, the team that won the NL East with a mixture of the too-noed “Wheeze Kids” and younger players, will start left-hander Steve Carlton, who recently won his 300th major league game and ended the whole season at 15-16. Los Angeles will lock left-hander Jerry Reus, 12-11.
Unlike the Phillies, who fielded old-timers such as Pete Rose and Joe Morgan for much of the season, the Dodgers — 11-1 against Philadelphia this season — won their division with younger players.
Los Angeles gambled last winter when it traded third baseman Ron Cey, a cornerstone of the infield for 10 years, to the Chicago Cubs and allowed Steve Garvey, a bulwark at first base for 10 seasons and the team's most popular player, to try free agency and sign with the San Diego Padres.
Many baseball people thought the Dodgers could not recover from such losses, but Manager Tommy Lasoria used Greg Beck to fill Garry's shoes.
and moved Pedro Guerrero in from the outfield to take over at third base. Guerrero this year became the first Los Angeles Dodger to have consecutive seasons with 30 or more home runs.
Mike Marshall took over Guerrero's spot in right field and had a fine season, and another rookie, Jack Fimple, proved invaluable to the Dodgers after catchers Steve Yeager and Mike Sciensia lost in injuries.
"When you get youngsters, you know they're going to make mistakes and you know you have to be patient and help them along," said Lassorda. "Now these young men have gained that experience.
The Phillies, 52-36 after the All-Star break, used the likes of journeyn Greg Gross, Lenni Matuszak and Joe Lefebre to clinch the division in September, but enter the playoffs with a seasoned team.
"The only pressure that can be put on a baseball player is the playoffs," said Rose, whose 245 batting average and hit total were the worst of his career.
"They've (the Dodgers) got a younger club than in the past," said Owens. "I have a lot of experience I can go to and that might be a factor."
Another factor might be the Dodgers' loss of ace reliever Steve Howe. The left-hander spent part of the season recovering from an injury and Following his second suspension Sept. 23, he was advised by his doctors not to pitch against this season

Thousands in Chicago get ugly at Sox sendoff
By United Press International
CHICAGO — More than 20,000 championship-hungry fans stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the Daley Center Plaza yesterday to give the Chicago White Sox a roaring sendoff to Baltimore for the first two games of their best-of-five American League playoff series.
The White Sox send right-handed CY Young candidate LaMarr Hoyt, 24-10, against Baltimore lefty Scott McGregor, 18-7, tomorrow night. Chicago is in post-season play for the first time since it went to the 1959 World Series
Mayor Harold Washington, referring to the players as "a fine gang of warriors who have made Chicago so great," read a City Council resolution proclaiming Oct. 3 "White Sox Appreciation Day." He gave each team member a brass spiton and a bottle of champagne.
"THERE IS NO WAY to express our exaltation that they have brought home the bacon for us — the first of three bacons, we hope," Washington said, referring to the American League pennant and the World Series.
"I have been a White Sox fan all my life." Washington said. "No words can capture the love and affection we have for this team."
"Today my cup runneth over." Washington said.
Wearing crimson blazers, the White Sox players and coaches, who ended the
1983 regular season with a 99.64 record — the best in baseball — looked confident and relaxed as they took the stage.
A BANNER READING "Winning Ugly Is Beautiful. Bust Baltimore's Bubble" hung in windows at the Daley Center. Fans waved placards that said, "Higher for Destiny." "High Five For Sox and Fans" and "We Love You White Sox."
Commenting on the team's motto,
"Winning Ugly," the LaRussa said.
"We've had a lot of fun with this, but it
doesn't have to be all about it. There
is no such thing as an ugly win."
DESIGNATED HITTER Greg Luznski grabbed the microphone after he was introduced and led the crowd into the room. The crowd was shocked between the Loop office buildings.
"Chicago finally has a winner, and it's on the South Side." Lazinski shouted. "In four days we're going to have a party and Rush Street will be dancing. Chicago, we're bringing you back the American League pennant."
The American League series continues Thursday night before switching to Chicago for Game 3 and any necessary remaining games. In the season series between the clubs, Baltimore won seven and Chicago five.
Reinsdorf said, "I don't know how anyone can call these guys ugly—with one or two possible exceptions. You're all invited to celebrate our release in the World Series."
KU women golfers place seventeenth in Iowa U tourney
By the Kansan Staff
In what KU golf coach Ross Randall termed an extremely tough tournament, the Kansas women's golf team finished 17th Sunday in the 19-team Invitational at Iowa City.
"We didn't finish very high, but we played better each round," Randall said. "This is the second straight tournament in which we played some of our best players in the country. It's tough when you we've got all sophomores and freshmen."
Lee Ann Loeffelholz and Maureen Kelley both shot 54-hole totals of 249 to lead the Jayhawks.
Kansas' 1002 team total placed the Jayhawks ahead of Stephens College and Wichita State, but left them 108 in the band tournament champion Ohio State.

Basketball locker room refurbishing to be completed before home opener
By the Kansan Staff
The $132,000 renovation of the men's basketball rooms in Allen Field House has begun and should be completed before KU's Dec. 3 opener against Morehead State, said Monte Johnson, athletic director
Part of the renovation will include a partition between the men's basketball and men's track restroom and shower rooms.
The two teams have had separate entrances to their own locker rooms but shared the same restroom and showers.
The locker room renovation began Sept. 19.
Johnson said Friday that the renovation would consist mainly of a "cosmetic upgrading" of the room in addition to a new ventilation system and air conditioning. A new carpet and a hot tub will also be installed.
ALSO INCLUDED will be various graphics depicting the history of KU
basketball, which will be bung on the wall along with a built in chalkboard, Johnson said. New lockers will also be installed.
The plans were drawn by the KU architectural services office. Because the plans were done "in house," he said that the department had the option of not taking bids on the project.
The athletic department negotiated with the Kansas Construction Company of Lawrence to do the renovation, Johnson said, because the company had done a lot of work for the department in the past.
The Board of Regents approved KU's bid for a $150,000 renovation project at its Sept. 16 meeting. Two-thirds of the remaining $18,000 is for the option to upgrade the building in the field house. Johnson said.
The estimated $131,800 cost of the renovation will be paid with private donations from Bernie. Todd and Margo will manage who live in the Kansas City area.
Practice schedule unsettled; 'Hawks prepare for Cyclones
By the Kansan Staff
The Kansas Jayhawk football team is trying to get back into its preparation routine for Saturday's game at Iowa State after having an open date last weekend.
"You try to get in a regular routine, but last weekend kind of took that away from us," Coach Mike Gottfred said. "kind of enjoy last Saturday, though."
Gottfried said he used the open date to get away from coaching and relax in the room.
Another problem facing Gottfried and the Jayhawks is tomorrow's practice. Because of class conflicts, KU cannot practice at the regular after-
THE TEAM HAD BEEN practicing at Haskell Junior College at night, but Haskell officials were concerned about the field conditions, and decided not to allow the Jayhawks to continue to practice there.
"We'll either have to go at 10 at night or 6 in the morning," "Got married?" said. "If
"I'd like us not to make so many mistakes." Gottfred said. "We made some mistakes down the stretch that could have cost us the ball game. We made some big errors that we just can't make. But we're getting better."
"THEY CAN BE very dangerous," Gottfried said. "If they eliminate the little mistakes, they are very capable."
Although KU is coming off the upset of Southern California, Gottified said he hoped his team would improve against the Cyclones.
