KU running back ready for Huskers

Frank Hatechell knows the Kansas Jayhawks are 0-4. And he knows the No 9 Nebraska Corncobers will visit to Lawrence this week.
But Hatchette isn't worrying about the game. He is looking forward to it with the philosophy of his favorite professional wrestler.
"Just like my idol, Riac Flair, says, 'In order to be the man, you've got to beat the man.'" said the sophomore running back.
Last year's game at Nebraska was a highlight in Hatchett's season, carrying the ball 12 times for 40 yards.
"That was my best game of the season," he said. "But I'm not the one playing them because of who I are, but them because of who they are and the kind of team they have. I want to play good against the good."
But this season, Hatchett appreciates playing time against any team. He is working his way up the ladder to the starting team briefly during fall practice.
Hatchett he left the team because he was tired of football. He decided to return after watchdogs of Nebraska and Texas at between Nebraska and Texas A&M.
Another reason Hatchett decided to return was his teammates.
"I'd go places and see people on the team," he said. "So I thought, 'Well, let's try to reach the other side of the fence, and I realized what side of the fence, and I realized what side I wanted to be."
When Hatchet returned, he was told he would have to regain his spot as the second tailback tieback behind senior Arnold Shell. Hatchet spent practices playing plays, and he'd been seen to see from unseen opponents.
Watching the first three games from the bench was difficult after playing in all but one game last season. Hattlett said.
"I just wanted to get in there and play," he said. "I was ready last week. It was getting kind of boring time. I was getting it out to be back out on the field.
Hatchett saw action for the first time this season against New Mexico State on Saturday. Entering Game 4, fourth quarter, he forwards 30 for 15. He also scored on a two-point conversion late in the game.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said
"He's in the top three," Mason said. "He moved up one. He did a good job while he was in there."
Hatchett had been elevated to one of the top three tailbacks after Saturday's performance.
"Frank's a good runner. He knew that he. He lifted his position there for a while because of some problems, and worked his way back in the lineup.
Senior wide receiver Willie Vaughn, who scored three touchdowns Saturday, also has a score knee and is on a day-by-day basis. Vaughn has 10 receptions this season — four for touchdowns. Vaughn ran for a 50 yard touchdown against New Mexico State.
Hatchett may find himself with more playing time again this
week, because Snell has a sore knee. He is being evaluated on a dav-bv-dav basis.
Snell is one of five injured starters.
On defense, freshman line-backer Paul Friday has a hip injury and may return later in the week.
The most serious is freshman linebacker Lance Flachbahr, who suffered a knee injury against him. The team will not play this week, and could miss several weeks. Mason said. Flachbahr will be exam-

"The reason I did it at this time was for those
young players," said Parrish, 42, who will remain until the end of the season. "The pressure and living week to week gets to be very difficult. Those young men have to bear the weight they need at Kansas State. They just need to go out and play and continue to improve."
Kansas State's all-time record stands at 399-502-41, a winning percentage of .379. The last time the team played in the NCAA Championship competition was 1984. Runner-up in the all-time worst derby among major colleges, according to official NCAA statistics, is Kansas State, which entered this season at 392-447-3.

"I am convinced that Stan made this decision on the basis of two very important variables, "athletic director Steve Miller said. "First, he is a man of high integrity, and secondly, he what he did best for the team." He said he was an independent decision and one that was initiated by Stan individually.
Kansas State's next game is at home Saturday against Missouri.
"I don't know any way but to prepare as hard as we can to try to beat Missouri this week." Parrish said.
The Wildcats lost in the close-
minutes in each of their past two
games, losing 20-16 to Tulane and
31-28 to Louisiana Tech.
"Our team has gotten better every week." Parrish said. "We simply have been very close to winning the game, and we think in lieu of development here we could play one of two plays, play extremely hard or play not hard at play."
The Wildcats won twice in 1986, Parrish's first year. They opened the season with a 5-7 victory over West Virginia and then beat rival Kansas 29-12.
Fourteen consecutive losses followed until another Big Eight meeting with Kansas, which resulted in a 17.42 tie.
Parrish and Miller met three times Sunday, including one session with ISU President Jon Weldl. Parrish will respond to his resignation at once on
He said he would approach the rest of the season "the only way I know how to coach. That's full speed. If he would have resigned immediately,
Parrish has two years remaining on his contract and Miller said he was sure that a satisfactory solution was worked out.
Parrish said he was not sure whether he would continue to coach. Before accepting the job at Kansas State, he had coached Marshall to successive records of 65 and 7-3,打破 a 20-year losing cycle, and published himself as one of the brightest young men on the college scene.
"Everything we've done has been for me." he said.

Lasorda shuffles rotation for first game of playoffs
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Dogger manager Tommy Leger asked John Johnstad and John Johnstad not start Game 2 of the National League playoffs against the New York Giants.
Lasword will go with his best arm right hand rander Orel Hershiser, in Game 1 of the playoffs tonight at dwight Gooden 103.
The American League playoff begin tomorrow with Oakland visit. Boston at Fenway Park. The game will start at 12:10 p.m.
Hershiser, 23.8, finished the season with 59 consecutive scores in innings to break Don Drysdale's 20-year-old record.
"I started to think about the Mets as far back as the night right after I got the record." Hershey said. "The Mets have always been more important to me, even than the strenue. They are better that that was a team related thing."
"There's 24 guys when I walk out onto the mount. People talk about how pitching is 70 or 80 or 90 percent of the game, but I'm walking out there with 80 or 90 percent of the feelings of 24 guys and a coaching staff. "I think a stroke was wrong. I’m thinking about the Mets."

Lasorda said rookie Tim Belmer 12:6, will now pitch Game 2 tomorrow night against the Mets' David Cone 20.3.
"We thought giving Tudor the extra rest would help." Laossa said. "He probably could have pitched, but we didn't want to take any chances."
In another development, Lasiora also scratched pitcher Fernando Valencia and infielder Dave Anderson from Los Angeles' post-season rivals.
"We felt it was asking too much from Ferlando to pitch in the playoffs," Laserda said. "He made sure we were going to hurt him."
Tudor is now scheduled to pitch Game 3 Friday night in New York against Ron Darling, 17-9.
Anderson suffered a spinal sprain in pre-game warmups a week ago. His spot on the roster will be taken by Mike Sharsonion.
Valezuela went on the disabled list in late July with a sore shoulder and made two relief appearances in September.

season in their history, including 10 wins in 11 games against the Dodgers. New York outscored Los Angeles 49-18.
"It's probably the sharpest I've been mentally my whole career," he said. "With the pennant race, the close games, the lack of run support, just going out there throwing up a whole bunch of zeros, not just workouts or training sessions losing. I was out there pitching for wins in a pennant race, not a straight."
"They have an outstanding team and are strong in every area." Lasorda said. "But we have outstanding pitching, too."
"It's a thing that snowballs," Helmer said of the Dodgers' excellent pitching lately. "With Tudor, Orel and (Tim) Leary throwing all these balls into the field, everybody just takes the field and expects a lot of goose eggs."

Hershiser didn't get much support during the stroom — the Dodgers lost. When he called Becher said watching Hershiser has been an inspiration to the rest of the team.
After that, Hershiser was unbeat able.
NEW YORK — Unexpectedly low ratings for the recently completed Olympics may force NBC to give advertisers more than $70 million in free spots, according to a published report.
Hersheiser's last defeat was a 2-1 backassk against the Mets on Aug. 24 at Dodger Stadium He pitched a hit and allowed seven hits.

The Wall Street Journal reported the figure yesterday, stating the network would not confirm the size of its loss. NRB candidated $400 million on the Games, including $300 million million, and said it had predicted 500 percent rate ratings of 21.2 percent.
However, the prime time average ratings were about three points — or about 3 million households per night — lower than projected, and the network's estimates for its morning, afternoon and late night coverage also were

NBC charged $300,000 for 30-second commercials during its prime-time coverage and began giving advertisers free spots during the second week to compensate for the lower than anticipated ratings.
However, the newspaper said the ratings 'shortfall' was too great, and there was not enough commercial time available to include all of the free ads before the final voting. The newspaper also provided to the ads in time spots during its fall schedule.
The network had said it sold $50 million worth of ads. Profit estimates vary widely. An NBC source said it can be as high as $80 million. Network officials have decided not to increase, but they say it will be much lower than $80 million.
KU women's soccer club growing
By Ken Winford
After three weeks of practice, the Kansas women's soccer club is growing in familiarity and in number.
With 45 players out for the team, it took a couple of weeks for Kansas forward Karen Houck to learn everyone's name.
Hock, an Overland Park junior,
said the number of players interested in the team proved the program was on the rise.
"The women's soccer program is growing." Houck said. "There has always been a lot of girl soccer players here, and we've come out for the team before like this year. It's good for everyone on the team. There is a lot of competition between the players, and you will be there to step into your place.
Hock scored the only goal for the Jayhawks in their 2-1 season-opening loss against Kansas State University Sunday. Leading 1-4 at halftime, Kansas allowed the Wildcats to score twice in the second half.
Even though his team came up short in its season opener, new coach Josh Honeysuckle was encouraged by the progress Jayhawks have made in the last five years.
Kansas state's soccer player Joanne Klauser practices at Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets, during yesterday's team drills.
"They are way ahead of where I thought they would be at this point." Chapman said. "The girls are making my job very easy. We need to be careful that never hurts. Most of the girls have had enough experience in soccer where they understand it, and it's all about and that's important."
"Against Kansas State we played a great first half. But we let down in the second half. It was a mental than physical laydown."
Chapman, an Overland Park senior, played for the Kansas men's soccer team as a freshman in 2015 and last year's coach, Kevin Copon.
"Kevin couldn't come back and they needed someone to take over. so I came in, 'Chaplain said.' "I didn't know what he was learning what worked and what
doesn't I. I'm trying to coach this team a lot like some of the teams I played on. It is important to get the girls to play together as a team.
Kansas will play 11 games this fall and will compete again in the spring. Chapman said the team will play several Big Eight Conference rivals including KState, Nebraska and Missouri. In addition, the team will schedule against Wichita State and Benedictine College.
"We have enough talented play
ons our team that we should be able to do a good job." Chagman said. "We want to win, but we want to win," he added. This team is a great thing to have."
Overland Park junior defender Libby Koch agreed. She said playing on the soccer team had helped her adjust to life at the University
"Playing on the soccer team makes you feel like you are part of the school." Koch said. "Just playing helps to something makes a difference."
