In Monday night's game at Arrowhead Stadium, Chiefs wide receiver Anthony Hancock, right, found himself in the unfamiliar role of tackler after Chargers free safety Tim Fox intercepted a pass. By RICK GOSSELIN By RICK GOSSELIN United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Players at the skill positions for the Kansas City Chiefs need more than the ability to catch the football in order to contribute in Coach John Mackovic's passing offense. Those Chiefs had better be able to throw the ball as well Those were the first professional passes thrown by both Thomas and Carson. Non-quarterbacks have thrown two touchdown passes for Kansas City in the two games the Chiefs have played under Mackovic. Halfback Jewell Thomas threw an 18-yard scoring pass to Anthony Hancock in a 17-13 victory over Seattle in the opener, and Carlos Carson drew a 48-yard to fellow wide receiver Henry Marshall Monday night in a 17-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers. THE CARSON PASS electrified the Chargers, coming with 3:07 left in the game to give the Chiefs a 14-10 lead. Bill Kenney took the snap from center and threw the ball in the right flat to Carson, who then drove into the end zone to score the ball over the head of flat-footed rookie cornerback Danny Walters to the streaking Marshall. "I've seen that pass used for years and years," said Mackovic, the former quarterback coach of the Dallas Cowboys. "In fact, Coryell (San Diego Coach Den) used it in college when he was at San Diego "One of the things I learned in Dallas was how to study personnel and move everyone into position for the (trick) play. The fact he was a rookie had something to do with it." The Carson pass was one of 12 completions without a miss for the Chiefs in the second half. Quarterback Bill Kenney completed his final two passes of the first half and all 11 of his passes in the second half and will take a string of 13 consecutive completions into Kansas City's game at Washington next Sunday. THE CLUB RECORD is 15 consecutive com- pletions by Len Dawson in 1967. But for all his completions, Kenney didn’t mount much yardage against the Chargers as he finished 23-of-30 for 188 yards, including only 60 yards on his backfield. He did well in another game, with completions in the game were for five yards or less. Kenney did, however, connect on a 45-yard touchdown pass to Hancock with three minutes left in the first half that gave the Chiefs a 7-3 intermission lead. "They drop their linebackers and force you to throw everything underneath," Mackovic said of the San Diego defensive scheme. "I think it's not the premise of their entire defense is to prevent you from throwing deep." "EVEN SOMETHING like the Carson pass the Chargers have always prided themselves on not letting happen. We knew we'd only get a couple of opportunities to beat them deep and we were able to San Diego quarterback Dana Fouts completed 17-of-25 passes for 299 yards, including a game-winning 12-yard touchdown strike to Wes Chandler with 1:45 remaining, but he had to take a rare back seat in the game to running back Chuck Muncie and James Brooks... Muncie rushed 27 times for 110 yards and a touchdown and Brooks 23 times for 86 yards. The 27 carries were one short of Muncie's career-high and the 23 carries were the single-game NFL high for all three teams. Muggers rush the ball for stretches of 8 and 6 drives during separate second-half drives. By the Kansan Staff create student interest in this weekend's intra-state rivalry." For the second year in a row, the KU athletic department will sponsor a banner contest for students as part of the UUWUCC. UUWC State University football game. The contest is open to all groups, he said. Certificates for kegs of beer will be awarded to the two winning entries. The contest was continued this year, said Mike Hamrick, administrative vice president. Banners cannot be larger than 4½ feet high and 8½ feet wide. They must be brought to Memorial Stadium no later than 5:30 a.m. Must be registered at the table at the southeast gate before they will be permitted inside. Two members of the athletic department and a member of the Student Affairs Department. LAST YEAR'S BANNER contest, which drew about 35 entries, also was held in conjunction with the WSU game, but included a pre-game tailgate party because it was the first game of the year. However, because many students were not in Lawrence for this year's opening with Northern Illinois University, Hamrick said, the department decided not to run the pre-game promotion. "Last year we thought it would help create ticket sales," he said. "So if we didn't do it for the first game this year, we didn't want to do it at all." He said also that beca By JOHN UNREIN Sports writer With the help of two tennis recruits this season, both the KU men's and women's tennis teams are looking to greatly improve on last year's fifth place finishes in the Big Eight Conference. Freshman Mike Wolf and Barbara Iman will lead their teams in the first tennis action of the fall Friday and Saturday, respectively against Wichita State University. Both Wolf and Iman will play No. 1 singles for their teams. "We're quite a bit better now than we were last year," Scott Perrelman, KU tennis coach, said yesterday. "We've set some lofty goals for ourselves, and these first matches will be a good indicator of where we need work." The Jayhawk men's team will face national-power Wichita State Friday at the Allen Field House tennis courts, and the Jayhawks will host the Shockers Saturday morning. Perelman said that his men's team performance in the dual would tell him how far away Kansas was from being one of the best teams in the Midwest Wichita State was one of the top eight teams in the country last season. "Without a doubt, we are seeing the best right off the bat," Perelman said. "But we are anxious to start the season. Our goal is to be the best team in the The region Perelman is speaking of is NCAA Region 5, the region Wichita State won last year. Region 5 comprises all Division 1 schools in the states of North and South Dakota. Nebraska. Iowa, Missouri. Kansas and Oklahoma. In NCAA tennis, there are eight regions in the United States. Each region champion automatically qualifies for the NCAA nationalists, held next If KU is to beat Wichita State, they will have to rely on some young talent. The Jayhawks' top seven include only two seniors. "Doubles will be the key to us having a successful season as a team, because I feel we can go up against any team in the next two weeks going into doubles." Perelman said. Sophomore Michael Center will pla No. 2 Friday. The remaining players in the order of their position are Jim Syrett, Scott Alexander, Charles Stearns, Franco Cacioppolini and Richard Blond. In doubles, Wolf will team with Alexander for the No.1 team. Center and Syrett and Cactoppolli and former No.2 and No.2 and No.3 doubles respectfully. The KU women's team doesn't have as great of a challenge as the men do in their first match. But Perelman is still confident, team the Jayhawks beat last season. "They plan on coming up here to even the score," he said. "We're a much improved team, talent wise, but so are they." Besides Imman, the women's team Saturday will consist of Laura Runnels; Christine Parr, Stefanie Dicke, Janelle Boleen and Bobie Coleman. Rumnels is the team captain for the season and will play No 2 singles. The remaining players will fill the Nos. 3 through 6 positions. Women's cross country team healthy headed into opener By the Kansan Staff The KU women's cross country team will officially open its season at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Wichita State Golden Classic in Wichita. Coach Cliff Rovello, in his first year as cross country coach, said yesterday that his squad was in good shape and ready to run. He said practices had been hard enough the past week that he had been unable to sleep nights in anticipation. The runners who will represent KU in the 3-mile run are junions Paula Berquist, Susan Glatter and Heather Sterbenz; sophomores olympics Ciney Finlay and Kelly Wood, and freshmen Tracy Keith and Cindy Blakely. Roveto said the rest of the team would run unattached and compete for team titles. Some of the other schools with strong programs running in the meet, he said, are Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Arizona and Wichita State. The top five runners now, Berquist, Glatter, Finlay, Keith and Blakely, have been running exceptionally well, he said. The team, which has nine strong runners, is in good shape and will be a major draw from various roadaces and practices. SPORTS ALMANAC BASEBALL AMERICAN LEAGUE East W 7 15 Pct.
