Hurricanes make up for losses

"Man, we were just due for a win," Miami bullback Otis Anderson said after his return from the injury.
Miami, 0-2 before the contest, carried a young, hungry team and an eight-game lead. The Miami team came up with a new
Anderson, who led the Hurricane running attack, carried the ball 22 times for 116 yards, his second 100-yard game of the season. He also scored two touchdowns.
"We just put it all together," Anderson said. "KU made a lot of mistakes and we capitalized on them—just like they did against UCLA."
Miami quarterback Ken McMillan, 36, excite in his explanation of the miracle victory.
"OUR OFFENSIVE line made it happen," he said. "They beat KU all day. In the third and fourth quarters, I don't think any of KU's players made it across the line of scrimmage.
"Our offensive line really opened up holes for our backs also."
Miami more than doubled its season total for yards rushed during the game, totaling 332 on 68 carries. The Hurricanes had 178 yards in their two previous contests.
Miami's defensive line didn't have a bad say either, holding the hawks to 20 in their first game.
"We simply controlled their offense," Miami head football coach Lou Saban said, "and we controlled our offense too. We needed a win bady."
"I DON'T know what this win will do for
me, but I have a feeling we will be tough"
"with it."
While Miami apparently could do no wrong, KU had trouble doing anything right. Although the Hawks put on several sleeves, they did not appear to help; they generally failed to capitalize on them.
Quarterback Jeff Hines connected on 12 of 23 passes for 208 kills. Kevin Clinton added two completions in nine attempts to give KU 219 yards in passing.
Even KU's passing performance,
however, was not umblished. The 'Hawks'
three interceptions, four of them setting
up Miami touchdowns.
John Swain, Miami cornerback, picked up two of KU's errant tosses.
"I really had three interceptions," Swain said, "but on one of them they called interference—on me. We just had great pursuing up front. Our defensive line put a lot of pressure on the KU quarterbacks and forced them to lob their possess."
Royals bump Twins 1-0 in finale
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Amos Otis pictured and scored on a single by Art Kusnyer to give the Kansas City Royals a 1-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins in their final regular season game of the year.

The death of Splittert Jr. father was the main reason for the rotation shift. Services were scheduled Sunday in Evansville,
"That's a hell of an ordeal for anybody to go through," Herzog said. "This way he can rest two days and throw some batting practice and be ready on go Friday. I called Split yesterday and told him, 'Paul, when you get through with that, you're going to be physically exhausted. I know, because I've been through it myself.'"
HERZOG ALSO said that if the Red Sox are the playoff opponents, rookie Rich Gale would probably start one game in Boston. Gale finished the year with a 148 record and was sensational early before developing a sore shoulder.

It was an afternoon of give-away for KU. The reason punter Mike Hibach had only six punts was that the offense turned over the pall seven times before he had to kurt.
"our offense was about as bad as you can imagine," head coach Bud Moore said.
Forced to pass in a desperate game of catch-up, two KU quarterbacks gathered in the back row. One threw, KU receivers caught 14. Another five came down in the hands of the hurricanes, and one was taken.
Other than that, the 'Hawks had a minus-2 yards rushing in the first half and were just 52 in the black when the game ended. There were also two fumbles lost.
TAILBACK DAN Wagoner gained 45 yards on nine carries to lead the KU stats. Tim Jones was next with six yards. Tracy Levy had five.
"Their offense was effective enough to take advantage of the turnovers," Moore said. "Their defense had a lot to do with it. I'm sure we contributed to it."
THE SCORE WAS set up by a 36-yard pass interference call that moved the ball to the Miami 34. But a holding penalty and Hines' stumbling moved KU back before Hines hit
A week ago Kansas had capitalized on UCLA's candy bowl of turnovers to upset the complacent Bruins. Saturday, Miami did the same thing to the compartment Jawdaws.
A Band Day crowd, lavishly estimated at 47,520, watched a lackluster first quarter in which the only scoring was a 44-yard field goal by Hubach.
On its next possession, Miami punted to Little, who dropped the ball at the K1213.
Four minutes into the second quarter, Miami halfback Ottis Anderson ran in
Miami's first touchdown, from the 1-yard line. With the extra point, Miami had a 7-0 victory.
Hines put up his first interception soon afterward, throwing the ball right into the hands of linebacker Mozell Asson, who passed it to Kaean Jacken, back Kkean McMillian on the next pitch.
Bhubach it made i 14 on a 34-yard field goal with 1:52 left in the half.
"I kind of think we were sitting back and waiting for it to happen," defensive end Jeremy Pettigrew said.
"THEY WERE doing the same thing at the beginning—just waiting to see who would win."
Midkirk did, convincingly. The Hurricanes had a 140-yard advantage on the ground. Kansas had a 95-yard lead in the air, but McMillan had hit one of seven passes.
"We'd get down in their territory and couldn't get it over," Wagoner said. "We'd make some kind of mistake and it would cost us big."
While Miami was racking up three second-half TDs in a showing its usual toughness, the defense has scored one field goal and the defense has put up a safety in the second half.
Miami's TD spice began when cornerback John Baskin picked off his second pass from Hines. Anderson contributed a 39-yard run, and McMillan scored, with McMillan scored with 12-30 left.
MOORE  BAPTIZED freshman quarterback Kevin Clinton in the fourth quarter.
on his second series, Clinton was in- on the team. Miami scored a two-dive road on the next.
"With our injury situation as it is, we feel he needed to get some playing time." Moore
With about two minutes to go, Clinton's pass from the end zone was intercepted and returned 12 yards for a touchdown by strong safety David Jefferson.
Anderson finished with 116 yards, many of the coming after defenders took swipes with his hands.
"You gotta stick him," nosegazed Joe McCrane said. "You can't arm tackle that."
Miami puntner Rob Rajisch, who set a school record earlier this fall with a 77-yarder, outdid himself with a 79-yard blast. His average for eight punts, though, was
Miami's star tackle, Don Smith, had five tackles, one for a seven-yard loss. Linebacker Herbert Jackson led the Hurricanes with eight tackles.
TACKLE MIKE BEAL, who didn't start, won KU's tackling honors with nine. Linebacker Scellars Young, cornerback and free safety LEROY Irwin had seven each.
Moore said he wasn't sure what changes to make in his offense.
"No matter what type of offense you run, if you make those kinds of turnovers it will go."
Moore suggested that the key had been emotion:Hit it and Iku didn't. Had he been worried about a letdown after the UCLA name?
"Very much so," be said. "It had a great deal to do with it. There's really not that much difference between our football teams."

Weekend Sports Roundup
Netters win duals
The KU men's tennis team successfully opened its season this weekend, winning a gold medal and a silver medal.
KU shut out Kansas State University 9-0 Friday at Manhattan. Winning singles matches were Chet Collier, Bill Krizman, Wayne Seau, Joe Russer, Rick Wertz and Eden Boben. Only Sewall's match lasted three sets.
Collier and Wertz, Krizman and Ruaser,
and Sewall and Bolen won in doubles in
the tournament.
The Jayhawks played host to Cowley County Junior College Saturday on the courts behind Allen Field House and came away with an 8-1 victory.
All six singles players won their matches in straight sets, but KU won only two of the three doubles matches. Collier and Wertz were the first to win both sets and Searval and Bohen won in straight sets.
"For the first matches of the season everybody played really well," said Krizman, who is KU's No. 2 singles player. "We looked really good in doubles, which is a good sign, because that's where we have been a little weak."
Hockey wins one
The shortcoming of KU's field hockey team provides strength of its op- tions. Saturday at 10 a.m. SAT day in JUNE.
The Jayhawks faced three teams as part of an umpiring clinic and in each case, a lack of experience proved to be the difference for KU. The Jays won for KU. KU knew a game but lost two.
"We're just too inconsistent right now to win," RU coach Danna Baumgartner, said.
Beebe said experience was the determining factor in KU's losses to teams from Southwest Missouri State University and North Carolina.
The Jayhawks won one game, a 1-0 decision from Meramec Junior College of Forestry.
Despite its losses, Reeche said that KU's young team gained from battling the older, more experienced players.
Beebe said that both SWMSU and Edwardville had players with several seasons
KU had several scoring opportunities in losing efforts but failed to capitalize on the
"We have seven new people in the lineup and four of those are freshmen," she said. "It will just take time before they will play well together."
Women golfers 7th
"We'd be five on two and we couldn't put it in," Bee said. "When you can't best five on two, it's probably because you've held out too long. We just need more experience."
Houls had totals of 89-68-175, 19 strokes higher than her scores last week, when she finished in a tie for second at the Iowa State Invitational.
The women's golf team finished seventh of 20 teams at the Region Six championships.
Bahan said she was pleased with the improvement of Sally White and Cathy Eyre. White's totals were 87-87-174, and Eyre's were 88-84-172.
"We did pretty well, all things considered," Sandy Bahan, women's golf coach, said yesterday. "Nancy Hojns just simply had a bad couple of rounds. Her irons weren't working and her putts wouldn't dren."
The University of Minnesota won the team title. Stephens College finished in second place, and the University of Missouri finished third. The winner was won by Kathy Williams of Minnesota.
Other totals for KU were Sarah Burgess,
87-87-17 and Jennifer Rogers, 94-84-17.
Rugby string ends
The KU Rugby Club suffered its first loss of the season Saturday when it was defeated by the Kansas City Blues 144. The loss brought KU's record to 6-1 for the year.
The Blues moved quickly in the first half, scoring all of their three tries before the halftime break. They missed two point-after attempts and made one, bringing the game down.
KU remained scoreless until the middle of the second half when Alex Clark scored a try and the point after, narrowing the margin to 14.6
Neither team scored again.
"It was a really good game." Kirk Goza, Overland Park senior, said.
"We didn't play well in the first half, but we came back in the second," he said. "We could only score once, but they couldn't score any more. There was a lot of good hitting in the game. We just didn't play as well as we have been."
Baseball team wins
The KU baseball team took a pair of scrimmage games Sunday from Longview
Mark Fleeman was the winning pitcher in the first, giving five innings and giving up three.
In the second game, Mike Watt allowed three hits and his teammates picked up one. In the third game,
