Blue Jays romp past Royals
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Buck Martinez knocked in four runs with a homer and a single last night to carry the Toronto in 40 victory over the Kings City Royals.
Toronto pitcher Dave Stieb blank the Royals on five hits. Stieb walked four and struck out four in winning for the first time in the league. It was his eighth career shutout and also the first complete game by a Toronto pitcher in 1982, enabling the
Blue Bays 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 him to run a cap to a two-run sixth inning outburst against Kansas City starter Paul Solitoff 0-1.
The Blue Jay scores the only run Stieb would need in the first without the aid of a hit when Damascus Garcia walked, stole second and took third in a scoreless error by catcher John Wathan and scored on Garth Gars's sacrifice飞.
'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 10 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
"We'll play the game just like last year, by the ear," Coach D冯Fambrough said. "A lot will depend on the team and how large a squad they have.
"This is mainly a day for our alumni. 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
coach will be Michael Douglas.
Douglas, Douglas, the All-American
quarterback from the 1968 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.

Defensive co-captains Tim Friess and Gary Coleman and offensive co-captains Paul Fairchild and Russ Linder have both been selected Frank Seurer has had a great spring and will be counted on to lead the Jayhawks' offense.
Women's golf team takes sixth
With nine holes remaining in the 54-hole women's Big Eight Golf Championship in Ames, Iowa, Wednesday, Kansas was in good position. They had rebounded from the sixth-place position they started the day in and had a good shot at finishing fourth in the seven-team field.
But in those nine holes the women managed to shoot 35 strokes higher than they did on the front nine and back nine, before repeating last year's performance.
The sixth-place finished matched head coach Ross Randall's earlier prediction about the tournament, but Randall said it was "a future of KU women's golf was bright."

"We should be much, much more competitive next year," Randall said. "With the girls we'll have back next
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 1,261.
