Stib walked four and struck out four in winning for the first time in three decisions this season, but they didn't and also the first complete game by a Toronto pitcher in 1982, enabling the Blue Jay to extend their winning streak to three games. Martinez hit a three-run homer, his first of the year, in the fourth, to give Toronto a 4-10 lead and singled home as run to cap a two-run six innings outburst against Kansas City starter Paul Solitorto 0-1. The Blue Jays scored the only run Stieb would need in the first without the aid of a hit when Damascos Garcia walked, stole second and took third when Bromley scrubbed by catcher Wathan and scored on Garth lors's sacrifice fly. 'Hawks to play alumni The KU football players will finally get a chance to hit someone other than themselves when they take on a KU player in the 40th period, tomorrow at Memorial Stadium. "We'll play the game just like last year, by the ear," Coach Don Fambrough said. "A lot will depend on the alumni and how large a squad they "This is mainly a day for our alumi. It's something they enjoyed very much last year, and it was a success because of their enthusiasm." Mike Fisher, academic counselor, will coach the alumni team. Fisher's team will have quarterback Bobby Gilbert, who was a backup quarterback from the 1988 Orange Bowl squad, was named last year as the top alumni offensive player of the game. Laverne Smith, KU's all-time leading scorer, will be on hand to play for the alumni.

The sixth-place finished matched coach Ross Randall's earlier prediction about the tournament, but Randall said it was a future KU women's golf was bright. "We should be much, much more competitive next year," Randall said. "With the girls we have back next year and the three or four recruits we're expecting, we'll have a really strong team." Oklahoma State won this year's event with a three-day total of 917 strokes. Oklahoma followed with 980, then Missouri 981, Nebraska 992, Iowa State 1,002, Kansas 1,010 and Kansas State 1,961 "The girls were disappointed with their finish," Randall said. "They didn't know how they were doing, but they knew they were beating people." Despite the disastrous final nine, the Jayhawks scored 331 for the final round, their best of the tournament, beating three teams.

"There are a very large number of situations where the foreign language is not a primary, but a secondary skill. For exam- ple reasons, I don't know what percent of the time doing what everyone else does and 10 percent of the time working with international currency. They fill some need the company has that someone without the language skill could do." John Garland, assistant professor of business who teaches a class in international business, stressed that foreign language training alone would seldom be enough to get a job with an international company. "It's not a requirement, but an asset," she said. "I CONSIDER foreign language training really critical," he said. "But the real value of language training to a person in international business is the cross-cultural sensitivity that's necessary to operate in this crazy world."
