Jayhawks lose recruit to Pittsburgh
By United Press International
Kansas lost one of the premier point guards in the country when Curtis Aiken, who last month gave a oral commitment to the Jayhawks, signed through yesterday. As a result, Kansas failed to enter national letter-of-intention-signed day.
Alken, of Bennett High School in Buffalo, N.Y., finished second in the nation in scoring last winter with an average of 36 points per game. But the coaching turmilu at Kansas, with Ted Owens out and Larry Brown in, apparently figured in Alken's change of heart.
The Jayhawks did sign Jim Pelton, Palos Verdes, Calif., last November. Pelton has announced that he will still play in Kansas despite the coaching change.
KANSAS WANST' THE only Big Eight school to come up in bids to inks for the new millennium.
Both Missouri' and Oklahoma missed out on 6-9 forward Henry Carr, the younger brother of Wichita State standout Antoine Carre; Nebraska lost eight games in Banks; and both Kansas State and Oklahoma State missed out on 6-6
Carr chose to attend Wichita State,
Banks opted for New-Las Vegas and
Santa Monica.
guard Kevin Reh of Velma-Velma High School in Oklahoma.
MISSOURI COACH Norm Stewart may not be able to replace his school's two all-time leading scorers Steve Stipanovich and Jon Sundvold but at least he's taken a step in that direction, despite the loss of Carr.
Stewart landed junior college player of the year Malcolm Thomas to highlight the Big Eight's efforts yesterday. Thomas, a 6-7 forward from New York and one of the Tigers over UCLA, Nevada-Las Vegas, South Carolina and Auburn.
Thomas, Moberly's all-time leading scorer with 1,542 points, averaged 23.2 points and 12.3 rebounds last season to parr first-team All-America honors.
IOWA STATE ALSO landed a couple of blue-chip forwards in 6-9 John Culbertson from the Oak Hill Academy Virginia and Iowa students of Wesleyan University in Tennessee.
Cubertson averaged 20.4 points and 13.6 rebounds for an Oak Hill team that finished 19-4 with a schedule that included games against the freshman squads of Navy, Duke and Virginia Tech. Cuberton chose the Cyclones
over Virginia, Oregon State, Virginia
commonwealth. Texas and Pittsburgh
Rhodes was a three-year starter at center for Manassas and has already been selected to play for the AAU Junior Olympic team this summer. He averaged 24 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocked shots last season and chose Iowa over NCAA champion North Carolina State among others.
OKLAHOMA ROUNDED out its seven-member recruiting class with the signings of 6-8 forward David Johnson of Kansas City Wyndotte and 6-5 swinger Darryl Kennedy of Oklahoma City Northwest. The Sooners had earlier signed five players on the November national signing date.
Johnson earned all-state honors as a center when he averaged 15.7 points per game as a senior but will be used at forward by the Sooners. Kennedy was an integral part of the schools in Oklahoma after averaging 23.6 points per game for Northwest.
NEBRAKS ALSO signed two players, 6-1 guard Brian Carr from Muncie Burris in Indiana and 6-9 forward Ron Smith from Henderson County Junior
Carr topped the 1,200 career point plateau and was the top scoring player in the city of Muncie during each of the
last two seasons. He averaged 23 points and six assists as a senior to help Burris post a 15-6 record.
Smith played at Henderson two years ago with current Cornhusker forward Stain Cloud and helped the junior team score 58-1 record over the last two seasons.
ORLAKHOMA STATE, looking for a center to replace All-Big Eight pick Leroy Combs, may have found one in 6-9 Shawn Baker of Tulsa East Central. He averaged 18.2 points and 10.8 rebounds last year. The Cowboys also landed 6-4 guard Dion Campbell of Michigan City Marquee in Indiana, who averaged 14 points and had 104 steals last season.
KANSAS STATE'S lone sinee is 6-3 guard Eric Watson of Allen County Kansas Community College. Watson spent a year at Arkansas State before being hired by the university he averaged 19.2 points and seven rebounds per game last season.
COLORADO'S only commitment Wednesday came from 6-4 forward Barry Anderson of Carl Albert Junior College in Oklahoma. He averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds per game last season and shot 60 percent from the floor.
Softball team defeats K-State
Bunge key to Jayhawk victory
By COLLIN HERMRECK Sports Writer
Kansas pitcher Tracy Bunge fired nine strikeouts and gave up only four hits yesterday as the Jayhawks beat Kansas State 4-0 in the first game of a rain-shortened twin bill at Holcom Sports Complex. The second game was called after the top half of the second inning.
The victory, which improved KU's record to 19-3, was Bunge's 14th victory in 16 starts. The Bartlesville, Okla., freshman has given up only five earned runs on the season and has thrown 102 strikeouts.
THE JAYHAWKS got their first run in the second inning on a double to center by catcher Kim Cobb, who collected three RBIs on two hits. The hit scored Becky Ascendio from second, who got on base with a single.
KU kcupped for three runs in the sixth inning on RBIs by Bover and Cobb. The
Jayhawk scores were set up on hits by bunge, Boyer and Cobb.
KVII
K-State's closest scoring threat came in the top of the fifth. The Wildcats lead-off batter got on base on a mishandled roller at third to Ascencio and was advanced to second on a one-out single. Bunge got the Jayhawks out of the inning by throwing her sixth and seventh strikeouts of the game.

THE WILDCATS LED off the seventh with a single, but the defense retired the next three batters for KU's ninth defensive shutout of the season.
KU Coach Bob Stanciflid said he was surprised that K-State wasn't able to hit the ball as well as they had in previous games, but he credited much of that to Bunge's different style of pitching.
"Tracy's throwing the ball a lot better than when we faced them in the fall," Stancliff said. "She's raising the ball up and down rather than throwing the drop ball that she threw in the fall season.
"OFFENSIVELY WE hit the ball pretty hard throughout. We were looking for the inside pitch because that's where they're strongest. We made some adjustments, and we took advantage of that."
The Jayhawks travel to Columbia, Mo., this weekend for the 10-team University of Missouri tournament. KU will face Oklahoma City, Wichita State and nationally ranked Missouri on Saturday in their tournament pool.
THE CASTLE
TEA ROOM
The two top teams in each pool will qualify for a single-election tour.
WHILE STANCLIFT SAID he was pleased with the team's progress, he said he would be looking to see his young team rid itself of the errors they had been bothered by this year and with stranding runners on the bases.
"We're getting key hits, and we're doing a good job scoring runs." Stanclift said. "We could do a little bit better job at the plate, getting people in scoring positions.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Glenn Hoffman collected five hits and Jim Rice knocked in three runs with a triple and his first home run of the season to propel Boston to an 18-4 rout last night of the Kansas City Royals. The most runs scored by the Red Sox in a game since 1979.
THE RED SOX snapped a fourgame losing streak with a 21-hit assault on Kansas City, which committed five errors.
Boston took a 2-1 lead in the first inning on a walk to Wade Boggs, the triple by Rice and a run-scoring wild pitch by Paul Splittorrif, 0-1. In the third, they picked up two more runs, then blew the contest open with four more in the fourth for a 7-1 lead.

KU signs 2 women to letters of intent
Webb, who scored over 1,000 points and averaged over 25 points a game in her career at Holy Angel, is expected to be named the nation's open by the graduation of Angela Taylor.
THE DAMAGES AWARDED by the federal court jury were half those sought by the Raiders, and slightly more than the commission wanted.
The jury ordered that $11.55 million be paid to the Raiders and $4.86 million to the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission. The amount of the award is automatically tripped in antitrust cases a foot the jury was not told.
THE JAYHAWKS will have four returners starting next season: all-Big Eight guard Angie Snider, honorable mention selectors Philicia Allen and Vickie Adkins, and forward Barbara Adkins.
Al Davis, managing general partner of the Raiders, said he was not disappointed with the award in the landmark case, which pitted the landmark businessman in an almost perverse battle with NFL commissioner Pete Razelle.
LOS ANGELES — The National Football League was ordered yesterday to pay nearly $50 million damages for violating federal antitrust laws by blocking the Los Angeles Raiders move to California, Calif., to Southern California.
"I like to win and we won," Davis told reporters, "But I'll tell you the truth. I would have rather won the Jets game last January," he said, referring to the Raiders' 17:14 playoff loss to New York and them out of Super Bowl contention.
Page teamed with national Player of the Year Tha Thura Hutchinson and Illinois coach Greg Abbott.
KU women's basketball coach Marian Washington yesterday announced the signing of Toni Weil, of Holy Angel High School in Buffalo; and Renea Page, of Lincoln High School in East St. Louis, Ill., to national letters of intent.
PAGE, A 6-2 center on Lincoln's 28-2 team, averaged seven points and five rebounds a game this year. She is expected to fill in at forward.
Webb, a 5-foot-8 guard, was the leading scorer and most valuable player in the Monsignor Martin League for the past two seasons. She averaged 34.2 points a game her senior season and was named to the All-State team
NFL ATTORNEY Patrick Lynch said the awards were "excessive" and the decision would be appealed.

NFL fined $50 million for blocking LA exodus
The same jury decided last May that the NFL violated federal antitrust laws by blocking the Raiders move from Oakland in 1980 and 1981 through court action and by refusing to schedule the team's games in Los Angeles. The Raiders did move into the Coliseum for the strike-shortened 1982 season.
The Raiders insisted they lost about $20 million in ticket sales, television contracts, concession revenues, luxury box rentals and other income. The Coliseum Commission asked for $4.7 million in damages.
FOOLS FACE
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission said the money will allow the commission to "solidify our team and allow us to pay off our obligations."
The NFL had indicated that while it did not agree with the earlier decision that found it guilty of antitrust violations — the league is appealing the ruling — it believed $3.5 million in collateral for the burden of $600 for the Coliseum would represent the highest reasonable estimate of actual damages.
DURING THE TRIAL's three-week penalty phase, lawyers for the NPL argued with Raider and Los Angeles Coliseum attorneys over how much the delay cost the Raiders and the Coliseum in lost revenues.
"In large part," he said of the awards, "they are not substantiated by the evidence."
