Rose adds Bucs to shopping list
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—Pete Rose, this year's most celebrated free agent, said yesterday that he had added the Pittsburgh Steelers to a team of teams that he might play for next year.
The Cincinnati红的' star for 13 seasons emerged from a two-hour hunch with the Atlanta Falcons in Gulfbreath and said, "I know Pittsburgh wasn't on my original list. But after talking to the Gulfbreath, I have to change my team, definitely an offensive team, which I love."
Tennis tourney invites 2 'Hawks
Mark Hasking and Chet Chelter, KU's No. 1 men's doubles team, have been invited to play in the Coleman Invitational tennis tournament this weekend in Wichita.
Hosking and Collier will replace No. 2 seed Pepperdine, which withdrew from the tournament. Because they weren't listed on the original 82-team bracket, the Jayhawks will not be seeded but will get Pepperdine's draw.
They will play a team from Memphis State, Eight All-America teams are entered.
Rose spent Tuesday talking with the Kansas City Royals.
Rose said the series of attractive offers he was receiving had forced him to postpone his original self-imposed signature deadline of Dec. 5.
"ITS LIKE going up a mountain," said the man, "and I'll go even higher. Cincinnati州
Rose, accompanied by his agent, Reuven Katz, will negotiate with the Philadelphia Phillies today, and may drop in on the New York Mets tomorrow.
Of the offers he has received this week,
Rose said, "It's amazing. All that work,
dedication and sliding headfirst is paying off."

Rose, who ranks ninth on the all-time major league list with 3,184 hits, would not divulge which club had offered him the most expensive package.
However, Rose did indicate that money might not be the deciding factor. He wants to play on a team that will be a contender for the World Series.
"I couldn't tell you," said Rose, breaking into a smile, "they're all so good."
"WE DIDN'T put any dollar signs or

As far as KU's December basketball schedule goes, it was just another game last night as the Jayhawks dismantled Fairleigh Dickinson 91-68.
The Jayhawks, opening their season before a near-sellout crowd, ran out to a big lead and held on. The young Knights battled at home, but KU's defense—spotted at times—held on.

'Hawks unravel Knights
The "Hawks, ranked fourth and fifth in national wire-service polls, looked like a team of that caliber at times. And at other times the whole starting team extricated itself in the first nail-hall for moments," KU head coach Todd Owens said after the game.
Darnell Valentine, who led Kansas with 16 points and six assists, said, "We look like that every day in practice. It's just a matter of analyzing it to a game situation."
OTHER KU PLAYERS in double figures were foraging on Tony Gay with keeper, Ceilan Pearl and the following:
FDU's reserve guard Ricky Gomer pumped in six field goals and 9-10 free throws to lead all scorers with 21 points. Teammate McLaughlin had 18 and scored the goal, one of 64.
Led by Valentine's 12 points, the Jayhawks galloped out to a 34-16 lead with 9:46 left in the first half. Sharp passing led to a goaltender score, as the starting five hit 17 of 24 attempts.
"For seven or eight minutes they played very fine basketball." Owens said. "Had we gotten off to that kind of attack against the team, we would have lost (loss) it. We had been have a different game."
IT WAS A different game in the last half of the first half. Kansas shot with stony hands and scored 17 points in the last 10 minutes. Fortunately for KU, the Knights weren't hitting much better, and the half ended 51-27.
Owens said he was pleased with the early defense.
"It was awfully ragged after that."
The Jayhawks started the second half as they had endured the first. Fairleigh Dickinson crept within 19 points in the first eight minutes as, among other things, the Jayhawks blundered on three fast-break layups.
Then Guy, a 6-5 freshman, hit a jumper with 11:27 left in the game, and the Jayhawks were off and flying. They followed by outscoring the Knights 18-2 in the next six minutes and built an 85-50 advantage.
FDU THEN chucked in 10 straight points as the boos began to creep down from the stands. But the Knights got no closer than the final 23-point difference.
“In the second half.” Valentine said, “things got so垫低. We kind of lost our friend.”
Mokesi played a fine defensive game, getting the right eight rebounds and a forceful blocked shot.
"I played good at times," he said. "I think Ibustled. As usual I do that. I will be okay."
FDU coach Al LoBaiho was a little awed by the Jayhawks: When asked who had impressed him most, he said, "Their first 12 plowers."
Fowler said the outcome should have been expected.
"We had everything going for us," he said. "Everybody was up for the game. We moved the ball more and jumped on the boards more."
KU EDGED the Knights under the backpacks, getting 42 rebounds to the Knights'
The Jayhawks also held their fours down and went seven minutes into the contest without a personal. In all, Kansas had 19 to FDU's 23.
Every jayhawk played and scored, but
Owens waived the reserves cautiously.
"It's obvious we need the work. They weren't as tough as they'd like to be," he said. "We're in a better place."
