KU Runner Uses Highway Hypnosis

The street light cut through the early morning dark, illuminating the runner's faded blue shirt and crimson shorts. It was 6 a.m., and the crowd began to be beguiled most mornings, by running five miles through the nearly deserted streets of Lawrence.
During the University of Kansas' cross country season, McDonald, a Lawrence junior, runs 80 miles on footworms, leisure runs, Saturday runs and daily team workouts. The thought of running 11 miles a day might make most people turn pale, but to McCarthy, it was one of life's great rewards.

Staub Leads Mets To 6-1 Series Win
NEW YORK (AP) - Alling Stauk, playing with a damaged right shoulder, drove in five runs last night, and led the New York Mets to a 6-1 victory over the Oakland A's in the fourth game of the 1973 baseball championship showdown. Staub's five runs-battled-in was one short of a World Series record.
The victory deadlocked the best-of-seven series at two games apiece with Game 5 scheduled for tonight in New York. The game ended in the sixth game Saturday afternoon.
Stab, who banged up his shoulder during the National League championship playoffs against Cincinnati, blasted a three-run home run in the first inning and added a two-run single in the fourth inning, black with a comfortable all the way.
Staub had four hits, including the home run and single. His three-run shot was the first time he has hit a home run since 2010. The national League playoffs against Cincinnati

Often a victim of the Mets' sometimes bulky offense, the young left-hander never had that trouble on a cool, crisp night that allowed the team to capacity canceled capacity Shea Stadium crowd of $4,817.
New york wasted no time getting to Oakland starter Keri Holtzman, who won the MVP.
Leadoff man Wayne Garrett drove Holtzman's second pitch of the game into right center field for a single, Felix Mitllan bunted the next pitch up the third base line and beat it out for a single, giving the Mets runners at first and second with none out.
Stauh, the Mets' leading run-producer with 76 during the regular season, was the next batter. He squared around twice as if to bunt but Holtmann's first two pitches were high. Manager Yogi Berra then took the sacrifice sign off and, one pitch later, Staub tagged a long drive over the left field fence.
FLIGHTS ARE FILLING FAST
out for every sport. McDonald said, "I've
written a book that good I found that it
was something, it was good."
IHIS FRESHMAN year, McDonald, a 5-foot-10, 130 pound, finished 212rd in the Big Eight cross country meet. Last year, after participating in his final, he finished 12th. And what about this year?
"I'm not predicting," McDonald said. "I'd like to finish in the top five, but the conference always has a lot of very good runners."
If his performances so far this season are any indication, McDonald has the capability to place high. In the Wichita State Invitation a month ago, he finished second.
He finished third in the Oklahoma State Invitational two weeks ago, beaten only by Olympians Phillip Ndoo and Mike Boit. In that meet, however, he beat Oakland State's John Halberstadt, last year's Big Eight individual champ.

He won the KU-Jowa State-Southern Illinois triangular meet last weekend.
"I THINK RUNNING'S 60 per cent mental," he said. "I was paedicated about running against former Olympians such as Ndoe and Boit. And that's a big reason why I'm not a coach." He says we have the mental toughness to be able to run long distances, especially in competition."
For McDonald, that toughness has developed into a strategy.
"I try hypnotizing myself in the race," McDonald said. "I try to take my mind off the pain by looking at the ground. That's another form of highway hypnosis, just applied to the problem of a long distance runner."

Strategy in a race is extremely important to McDonald. He said he won't a runner if he fails.
McDonald said he was confident that KU was capable of winning the tough Big Eight conference meet in November. However, he teamed up with the opposing team from both Colorado and Oklahoma State.
"We work on running as a team in practice," said McDonald. "It pays in meets if we're able to stay together and run near the front of the pack."
McDonald said all KU runners knew the value of teamwork. He said that because cross country meets were won by the lowest team score, it was important that he and other KU runners to remain near the lead and in contact with each other in races.

"Colorado will be very tough to beat," he said. "Oklahoma State has beaten us once this year, and we have a dual meet against them this weekend."
"I get up front in a race early," he said. "I try to stay up there as long as I can. In most races, the pace slows down in the middle as the runners get tired. By this time, I'm usually far enough ahead of most runners that I can finish well and place
ALTHOUGH HE HAS established himself as a top-notch runner this season,
McDonald said, he had never decided his best event.
"I used to think I was better at longer distance," he said. "But I ran a 40 mile in a relay last year. I think I have a little chance to run the shorter distances this year."

Fambright said this year's Jaiyahs were going into the Nebraska game with a more positive outlook than his last two teams.
"These players believe they can win" he said. "We've got momentum and that's very important, especially since we're playing away from home."
