Seattle beats Royals 13-6 with 3 homers
By RUSTY FABER Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When it rains,
it pours.
That familiar saying haunted the Kansas City Royals last night as they were whipped 13-6 by the Seattle Mariners.
A 15-minute rain delay before the start of the contest cast more than dark clouds upon the second place Royals.
ine Mariners, who currently have the lowest winning percentage in the major leagues, lashed out 19 hits, including five runs against five pitchers.
Larry Gura, 10-17, lasted only 3% innings as he gave up six runs on eight hits, before giving way to reliever Mark Husmann.
Mariner Jim Beattie, 9-12, who had not won a game since July 18, snapped a personal seven-game losing streak
with a seven-hit performance. Beattie struck out seven Royals during his seven-inning stint.
Former Royal Al Cowens, among others, punished Kansas City pitchers with three hits and two RBIs on a double and two singles.
trader All-Big Eight performer Phil
rardier added two singles and an RBI
instrument.
Dave Henderson added a solo blast in the sixth inning followed by Darnell Cole's in-the-park homer that eluded center fielder Pater Sheridan.
Left field Steve Henderson also had three hits, including a three-run, fourth-inning homer that knocked Gura out of the game.
For the Royals, Darryl Motley knocked in three runs on two hits including a solo home run in the third inning.
U. L. Washington had three hits with a single, double and triple in four plate appearances for the Royals.
White leads comeback by Cowboys in 2nd half
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Danny White was knocked unconscious during his last visit to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial game and still doesn't remember the game.
the cows rallied from a 23-3 halftime deficit for a 31-30 victory.
Last night, he jogged the Washington Redskins' memory with an outstanding second-half performance, completing eight of 10 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. He ran for a fourth touchdown that gave Dallas the lead as
White was sacked by Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley and missed the second half of Washington's 31-17 National Football Conference title game victory in January. He left RFK last night with a bruise under his left eye which he said was another gift from Manley.
"It was like playing in two different games," White said. "Washington did everything right in the first half and we controlled the second half."
Crew team rows to 2nd place
By the Kansan Staff
The KU crew team's loss to Yale University Sunday in the Tulsa Mayor's Cup made several KU rowers jump for joy after the race.
The crew team's reactions might seem out of the ordinary for a team that had just finished second in the finals before an estimated crowd of 12,000. But the KU rowers knew they had finished only 2.8 seconds behind one of the best crew teams in the country.
Yale is to the sport of rowing that the University of Nebraska is to football, said Howard Moore, KU assistant crew team coach. KU's close second to Yale means that the KU crew team is on the verge of becoming nationally competitive, Moore said.
Kansas completed the 1,600 meter race in 5 minutes, 18.4 seconds, less than three seconds behind Yale: San Diego State University and the University of Wisconsin followed, both finishing about four seconds behind KU.
KU swimmers qualify for NCAA meet
By the Kansan Staff
Two KU swimmers qualified for the NCAA championships in their first attempt of the season Friday night at the Second Annual Post-Summer Jayhawk Swimming Classic in Robinson Natatorium.
Sophomore Tammy Pease qualified for the championships, which will take place in Indianapolis, in the 50-yard freestyle. She swam the best time in her career, 23.3 seconds, to qualify.
Junior Kelly Burke qualified for championships in the 200-yard breast stroke.
Burke's winning time was 2:22.8.
Four KU swimmers and two University of Missouri swimmers competed in the classic, an event that was started last year to allow swimming championships in March.
The classic had an open invitation to college swimmers, but KU and MU were the only two schools that participated.

Coach gets idea of KU's skills
Gottfried says NIU controlled line
By JEFF CRAVENS
Associate Sports Editor
Coach Mike Gottfried sounded like a broken record before KU's first game against Northern Illinois University, saying that he wasn't sure whether the Jayhawks were ready to start the season.
"I wasn't trying to be funny or protective," Gottfried said yesterday. "I really didn't know how good we were going to be."
Gottried got an indication of how good KU is going to be Saturday, when it lost 37-34 to NIU at Memorial Stadium.
Gottfried said it was clear that NIU controlled the line of scrimmage.
"WE PLAYED very poorly on defense," Gottfried said. "We didn't react and we didn't fly to the ball."
NU rolled up 350 yards in offense, 273 of it on the ground, and 24 first downs while consistently running up the middle of the Jayhawk defense.
Field position also hurt the Jayhawks. The Huskies started three scoring drives inside KU territory. Two fumbles set up short touchdown drives in the first half as NIU opened up a 20-10 lead.
Huskie quarterback Tim Tyrrell ran 36 yards on a draw play to put NIU ahead 34-24 going into the final quarter.
"We turned the ball over inside our 50 too much, and we were not a strong team where we can afford that." Gottfried said.
"WE WORK AGAINST that every day." Goffried said of the trap play up the middle. "Our guards cannot keep us safe and we have to be better than their three people."
the play that epitomized the Jayhawk shortcomings came with 54 seconds left in the third quarter when
Ken Davis, one of the defensive guards, agreed that the Jayhawk defense did not play well.
"We weren't reacting like we should. They did basically what we worked on." Davis said, "We have to go back to the basics and stick to our game plan. I still think we have a damn good team."
Despite NIU's success against the Jayhawk defense, KU still had a chance to win the game in the final minutes.
NU MARCHED down the field, but the Jayhawk defense stiffened and senior Vince Scott came on to kick a 42-yard goal. Scott had already missed a field goal and the first extra point of his college career.
Bruce Killman, who kicked two field goals and consistently boomed kickoffs out of the end zone, tied the No. 1 record in fourth quarter with a 46-yard field goal.
we really stressed in the huddle about not being offes, senior linebacker Mike Arbanas said "It felt good, I felt it felt good, and it gave them an extra chance."
Fett, kicking into a stiff wind, fell two yards short on his kick, but lineeman Marshall Pinkney jumped offsides, giving�i first a down on the ball. The players moved the ball down to the 9, and Scott made good on his second chance
with eight seconds remaining in the game.
All Gottfried said was, "I don't know why we jumped."
Gottfred realizes that KU must improve quickly, especially against the run, where the Jayhawks were 96th in the nation last season.
"YOU DON'T BUILD a program in one game, and you don't destroy it in one game, either." Guttick said. "I'm sure we'll probably face 10 teams that are better, starting with TCU."
The Jayhawks travel to Fort Worth,
Texas, to face Texas Christian
University Saturday night.
At game time on Saturday, Gottfried announced that four players were not eligible for the opening game. Running back Lynn Williams is academically ineligible for the season. Taulbee, on defense, Walter Parrish and defensive back Tony Berry were not enrolled in school yet.
Gartfield Taylor, who got the startling nod at tailback against NIU, will probably not start against TCU. Gottfried said Taylor gained 31 yards on eight carries, but fumbled twice. Mimbs, if eligible, or Kerwin Bell, who ran for 41 yards on nine carries, will probably start.
John McEnroe knocked out of U.S. Open
Scanlon avenges Wimbledon loss in upset victory
By United Press International
Seanlon, who lost to McEnroe in the fourth round at Wimbledon this year, gained his bitter revenge with a 7-6. He also carried that man into the quarterfinals.
NEW YORK — Top seed John McEnoe, never able to take charge on a simmering, steamy afternoon, was bounced out of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships by Bill Scanlon yesterday in four tension-filed sets.
It was the first time since 1977 that McEnroe, a three-time champion, failed to reach the semifinals of the national championship, while this marks the farthest Scanlon has gone in eight attempts.
Scanlon, who lost two tie-breaker to McEnroe at Wimbledon, this time reversed the situation by winning both tie-breakers 7.2 After McEnroe squeezed out the third set with a break in the 19th game, Scanlon broke in the ninth and ninth games of the third set ending the match with a backhand return.
MCENROE HAD a chance to take control of the fourth set when he had triple break point in the fourth game, but Scanlon responded by winning the next five points to hold, and he followed with the decisive break.
"This is the best I've ever played at any major tournament." Scanlon said. He said he thought McEnroe did not have a good day up the court.
"I hope I had something to do with it."
McEnroe was disturbed by several calls in the opening set, and he was issued a time delay when by chair umpine Ken Slev when he was preparing to serve the first point of the opening set tie-breaker.
Following the tie-breaker, McEnroe said to Slye, "Don't ever say another word. There's no reason for you to be in the chair."
Slye then said, "Don't say any more,
Mr. McEnroe."
After he dropped the first game of the second set, McEmore said to a lineman. "I want to know whose side you are on. Just be honest, don't tie to me."
Following this, MeEnroe kept his mind on tennis, but it wasn't good enough on a 90-degree day against the charged-up, 26-year-old Texan. After both players service through the 12 games, Scanlon won the opening tie-breaker.
Scanlon then charged to a 3-0 advantage in the second set before McEnroe achieved his first break of the match in the fourth game. They then exchanged the tiebreaker, leading to an identical 7-2 score. Scanlon won this by an identical 7-2 score.
Unseeded Mark Dickson qualified for a quarterfinal meeting against Scanlon by beating John Bliody 6.7, 7.6, 6.0, 7.4. Lloyd was serving for the 6.5, but Dickson broke through and took the decisive tie-breaker, 7.3.
