10 Tuesday, August 30, 1977 University Daily Kansan Royals drop game to Yankees, 5-3 Bv HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer NEW YORK—Kansas City Manager Whitey Herzog, irritated at losing what was to have been a day off in the midst of a hot pennant race, taunted the American League by putting four pitchers in game up for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the game 5-3 on an eighth inning three-run pinch-hit home run by Chris Chambliss. Beaured Paul Splittorr, the starting pitcher, Herzog's lineup had Dennis Leonard as the designated hitter, batting second; Jim Colburn in right field, batting clean-up; and Andy Hassler as the first pitcher. Two members of the Royals' starting rotation. sustained ALTHOUGH LEONARD, Colburn and Hassler were in the lineup that Herzog presented to the umpires and were credited with having appeared in the game, the Royal's manager substituted his regular designated hitters Hall McRae, right fielder Al Cowens and first baseman John Mawberry—as soon as the game began. Herzog was asked whether he made out the original lineup to protest the American League's having ordered the Royals back to New York to make up a July 25 postponement. The Royals played in Baltimore on Sunday and begin an important series against the Texas Rangers in Kansas City tonight. "Yeah, that's why," Herzog said angrily. "I like New York, but I don't like it today. The Texas Rangers are playing golf in Kansas City today." Hermez said he held McRae, Cowens and Mayberry out of the original lineup because they—and the Royals—had played 19 consecutive days and the latest labor contract between the club owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association prohibits scheduling a team to play more than 19 days in a row. BUT THAT RULE is waived for makeup games, and at baseball's summer meetings it was agreed that the decision whether to postpone a game will be in the hands of the league from now on when two teams are playing their final series of the year. Herrz, whose oddball lineup was cleared by the Royals' management, was annoyed that the Yankees called off the 25 July game during the afternoon, although the rain Intramural football begins organizing The managers' organization meeting for intramural football has been scheduled for $3.90 Wednesday in the Robinson South School building, this meeting they are to play this year.

(UPI) - Oklahoma coach BARRY Switzer says he is excited about the 1977 season because the Sonner steelman was selected for the first time to play pong girls. Infielder Dave Nelson, the Royals' acting player, presented, said the team had won the first game in his career. Oklahoma fans have an even better reason to be excited. Oklahoma will have nine starters returning on offense, including quarterback Thomas Lott and running back Elvis Peacock, plus nine running on defense, including noseguard Reggie Kirkle, linebacker Jarryl Hunt and deep back Zack Jessup. Topeka Capital Journal In addition to women infiltrating the previously all-male corps of cheerleaders, Oklahoma will have 18 returning starters from the team that finished with a 9-2-1 record for a share of the Big Eight title in 1976. "We're not as good as we were in 1973-75 but we will be better than we were in 1978 because of the experience factor," Swiss said, whose four-year coaching record at Oklahoma is 41-3-2. "Virtually the same people who started for our last year will start for us this year—except they'll have an extra year of experience behind them." 7 day delivery Oklahoma was almost a unanimous choice to win the Big Eight title in a vote of 219-164. But he expected to once again contend for the national title. Switzer will find out how good his team's chances are for the national crown on September 24.

We have an air of confidence." Mallory's biggest concern is finding a replacement for tailback Tony Reed, who finished second in the Big Eight in rushing last year with 1,210 yards. A former stalwart Howard Ballage and junior college transfer Mike Kozlowski at tailback. The other member of the 1976 first place triumvirate was Oklahoma State and it would be hard to discount the Cowboys' chances this year with a record. Miller led the league in rushing (154 yards) and scoring (114 points) last season.
