Chiefs force nine turnovers, whip Cards
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs went on a scavenger hunt yesterday and used the St. Louis playbook for a man.
The Kansas City defense force nine turnovers, blocked a field goal, sacked quarterbacks Jim Hart and Rusty Lishx three times and even scored a touchdown on a 37-yard fumble return by linebacker Charles Jackson to deliver the Chiefs a 38-14 of their intricate rival Cardinals.
The Chiefs, who have now forced 16 turnovers in their last two games, recovered fumbled punts, fumbled passes and fumbled runs, intercepted long passes, short passes and deflected passes and also blocked a field goal to snap a three-game losing streak in improving to 2-3.
"We were on a scavenger hunt," Kansas City's Pro Bow cornerback Gary Green said. "We pride ourselves in our ability to create turnovers. The first guy will make the stop (tackle) and the second and third guys will try to tear the ball loose. And when that ball comes loose, we've always got somebody in the area."
Free safety Deron Cherry, in the lineup because of the continued holdout of All-Pro Gary Barbare, intercepted two passes to set up two
other Kansas City touchdowns and also blocked that St. Louis field goal attempt as the Chiefs limited the 10 first downs and 194 total yards.
The St. Louis defense wasn't far behind as it designed six turnovers and also scored a touchdown on a 36-yard fumble return by safety Lee Nelson. The combined 15 turnovers fell only two short of the NFL record set by Boston and Philadelphia in 1946.
The Chiefs turned the game into a rout with three touchdowns in the fourth quarter on runs of 6 yards by Billy Jackson, 1 yard by Theis Brown and a 15-yard touchdown pass from rookie Todd Blackledge to Willie Scott to drop the Cardinals to 1-4.
With the score tied at 7 in the first quarter, Cherry intercepted a Hart pass and, after a five-yard face mask penalty on the tackle, the Chiefs found themselves in possession on the Cardinal's. 10 It took three plays for Bill Kenney to find Henry Marshall with a 10-yard scoring pass over the middle to give the Chiefs the lead for good at 14.7.
The Cardinals drove to the Kansas City 18 on their next possession but Cherry blocked a 35-yard field goal attempt by Neil O'Donoghue, giving the Chiefs the ball at their own 20.

Men's tennis team wins seven-team invitational
By JOHN UNREIN Sports Writer
Mike Wolf had already won the No. 1 singles final of Saturday's Kansas Pepsi Fall Invitational, but his biggest match was yet to come.
Along with No. 1 doubles partner Scott Alexander, Wolf knew that their doubles final against Nebraska would determine whether Kansas could hold off the Cornhuskers and win the tournament at the Allen Field House tennis courts. Wolf and Alexander won in straight sets, 6,2, 6-1.
"I really wanted to win the match, because Nebraska and Colorado are both Big Eight schools, and both finished ahead of KU in the Big Eight last year." Wolf said. "It felt good to beat them."
Wolf and Alexander's win over Craig Johnson and Jim Carson of Nebraska in the final match of the day gave the Jayhawks a one and one half point victory over Nebraska in the six-team tournament.

"The growth of our program in one year is just unbelievable." Perelman said. "This was the first major win for us over 25 years. It was a big day for our program."
"Every player scored at least two points for there. There's no doubt, it was a big game."
"They played hard, and they're a very competitive bunch, but I just don't feel we've reached our potential." We still want you to be going to see this team improve.

GUNS DON'T DIE — PEOPLE DO
John B. Barrett, a third-year law student and National Rifle Association enthusiast, again attempted, in the September 23rd University Daily Kansan (UDK), to defend this increasingly irresponsible organization's position in a column entitled "Guns and the light of truth." Mr. Barrett's most recent outburst was inspired by Handgun Control Vice-President Charles J. Orasin's piece in the UDK's September 14th issue, which in, Mr. Barrett's words, "reminded those of us who value the right to keep and bear arms that we must educate the public on gun control." After consulting the chairman of Handgun Control Pete Shields' book, Guns Don't Die—People Do, I find Mr. Barrett's didactic effort...well…flawed.
While Mr. Barrett claims that a U.S. Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution "found that the Second Amendment was intended to guarantee an absolute right to individuals", Mr. Shields mentions both the five presidential commissions which have "called for strict handgun controls, several even recommending a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.(and) five separate occasions the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the Second Amendment was intended to protect members of a state militia from being disarmed by the federal government."
While Mr. Barrett claims that the Volkmer-McClure Bill "is designed to prevent...the multitude of abuses that have occurred under the Gun Control Act of 1968", Mr. Shields holds that the provisions of the Volkmer-McClure Bill would greatly weaken the modest firearms-control law that Congress passed in 1968.
While Mr. Barrett claims that Morton Grove, Illinois suffered a dramatic increase in violent crime following the enactment of its famous handgun ban, Mr. Orasin notes that "the village trustees who voted for the Morton Grove law were re-elected this year by a 2-1 margin." (Is this the response of a beaigned populace?)
In 1975, two years before he became head of the National Rifle Association, Harlon Carter admitted to House Judiciary Committee member George Danielson that he (Mr. Carter), in Congressman Danielson's words, "would rather allow those convicted felons, mentally deranged people, violently-addicted-to-narcotics people to have guns...than...the screen the processing process for honest people."
This is the kind of sophistry many elected officials still find digestible even though its legal existence in 1979, when handguns killed 48 people in Japan, 8 in Great Britain, 34 in Switzerland, 52 in Canada, 58 in Israel, 21 in Sweden and 42 in West Germany, resulted in 10,728 handgun murder victims in the United States. When Mr. Barrett says "Where we have informed the public with facts...it has overwhelmingly rejected stricter gun control", he ignores the findings of several Gallup polls and perhaps also affords us an opportunity to understand that which he considers illuminating.
