Padres net win over Cubs, trip to Series
By United Press International
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres completed one of baseball's greatest comebacks yesterday by rallying for four seventh-inning runs against seemingly unbeatable Rick Sutcliffe, defeating the Chicago Cubs 6-3 and winning their first National League pennant.
The Padres, appearing in their first post-season play in their 16-year history, became the first NL team to win a five-play after losing the first two games.
The Padres will play the Detroit Tigers in the first game of the World Series, beginning
With Rich Gossage pitching in the ninth and the crowd cheering every pitch, the Padres' ace reliever began by getting Leon Durham on a fly to right, which Tony Gwynn grabbed with a fine catch catch near the foul line. Keith Moreland kept the Cubs' hopes alive with a line single to right field but Gossage got Ron Cey on a pop fly to second and Jody Davis on a force out, ending the game.
Tuesday night at San Diego. Jack Morris will pitch for the Tigers and Mark Thurmond for the Padres.
The Padres mobbed Gossage while hundreds of fans ran on the field with no police to stop them. The players were escorted to the locker room. Fireworks erupted beyond the
San Diego's victory was aided by a Cubs collapse that mirrored the frustrations in New York.
center field fence as the fans stood in unison and applauded wildly.
Sutcliffe, who had won 15 straight games, allowed just two hits through the first five innings. He was the winning pitcher in a 13-0 triumph by the Cubs in the opener of the series. The Padres began their comeback by scoring twice in the sixth on sacrifice flies by Graig Nettles and Terry Kennedy, pulling within one run at 3-2.
Then, in the seventh innning, the clear blue California sky fell on the Cubs.壮利ife walked Carmelo Martínez to start the inning and Garry Templeton sacrificed Pinch.

Alan Wiggin then dumped a single into left field and with the record-setting crowd of 58,359 on its feet screaming wildly, Tony Gwynn ripped a shot that bounced over the glove of second baseman Ryne Sandberg into right-center for a two-run double.

Big play helps push 'Hawks past Cyclones

The Kansas football team was in an unfamiliar position at halftime of its 33-14 victory over Iowa State in Memorial Stadium Saturday.
The Jayhawks, who had suffered from crucial mistakes late in the first half against Vanderbilt and North Carolina, had scored with three seconds left in the first half on a 10-yard kick by Richard Estell. The touchdown gave the Jayhawks a comfortable 19-7 haltime lead
Kansas tailback Robert Mimbs looks for daylight as Iowa Mimbs rushed for 84 yards Saturday against the Cyclones and State linebacker Jeff Brasswell. No 51, closes in from the side went over the 1,000-yard rush work for his career.
"I think it made quite a bit of difference," Kansas coach Mike Gottfried said. "That's been going the other way. Against Vanderbilt, we had to play like we played before half. Today we got the big play."
The play was also a big one for Norseth, who was back in the starting line-up at quarterback after being replaced as starter by Mike Orth in the North Carolina game.
"THAT WAS A big play for us," Norschett said. "It really got us going. We had a fade on and he (Estebl) had man-to-man coverage. I asked the ball in the air and he made the catch.
Gottried said that he almost decided to call a running play, but changed his mind due to the lack of action.
"We were going to give the ball to Robert Mimbs," he said. "There were nine seconds left when they called time out and then two more seconds ran off. Our worry was that if we ran the ball the play would stack up and the ball would come the time out signal so we threw the pass."
The Jayhawks started the game on the right foot — that of Dodge Schwartzburg, who kicked a 42 yard field goal on Kansas first possession of the game. Freshman Chase Van Dyne kicked off after the field goal and made a tackle of Iowa State Posey that saved a touchdown. But Van Dyne suffered a neck injury on the play.
Van Dyne was taken by ambulance from the field to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was kept overnight for observation. His injury was diagnosed as a neck strain.
THE INJURES are really catching up with us," Gottfred said. "We lost Von Lacy (knee injury) for the season today, and that injury." The injuries take a little off of the fan.
Iowa State took a 7-3 lead with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Alex Espinosa to Robbie Minor at 4:59 left in the first quarter.
The Jayhawks then drove from their own 20-yard line to the Iowa State 14-yard line, where Norseth scored on a quarterback pass. The Hawks then drove down the line of scrimmage on his touchdown run
"Their linebackers went to the outside." Norseth said. "It left a gap open in the middle, so bennie (Simecka) and I just went with the sneak."
The drive was aided by several long runs by backluff Lynn Williams, who had his best day of the season. He gained 72 yards on 12 rushes and scored three career days of practice last week with the flu
"On a couple of runs I didn't have that extra umph," Williams said. "A couple of times I got hit and knocked on my back. I
thought I was pretty strong, so that kind of surprised me."
MURA STATE DROVE to the Kansas nineyard line on its first possession of the second half. However, a hit by linebacker Willie Pleas caused Cyclone running back Tommy Davis to fumble the ball out of the end zone for a touchback
The Jayhawks then drove to the Iowa State tour yard line but the drive stalled. And State troopers intervened.
The Kansas defense, which came up with four fumbles, three interceptions and a blocked punt, then held the Cyclones, setting the stove for Kestell's touchdown catch.
The blocked punt came on Iowa State's first possession of the second half. Alvin
Walton came from the left side and blocked the punt, and the ball went out of bounds on the Iowa State six yard line. Two plays later, the Tigers scored a touchdown from the tournament yard line, making the score 25-7.
"The man who was supposed to block me went after another man, which left me wide open." Walton said. "I made sure I got all of it."
KANSAS' FINAL TOUCHDOWN came on a one-yard run by Williams with 9 08 left in the game, making the score 33-7. The touchdown came after two unsuccessful rushing attempts from the one-yard line by tailback Mimbs. Mimbs gained 44 yards on 16 carries in the game and went over the 1,000 yard career rushing mark.
Iowa State defeats volleyball team again

The volleyball team lost to Iowa State Saturday night in three straight games, 15, 8, 15-6, 15-7, dropping its Big Eight Conference record to 0-3.
It was KU's second loss to Iowa State this year. Iowa State defeated the Jayhawks Sept. 21 at Ames in three games. Iowa State moved to 3-1 in the conference.
Helped by the partisan crowd and a fan club in Allen Field House, the Jayhawks jumped to a 3-4 lead in the first game. But the Cyclones and the Cyclones took control of the match
Head coach Bob Lockwood said, "They did a whale of a job stopping our serve and keeping us from scoring points. Once we get the idea that we have to bear down and serve in and win points, we will win games."
Lockwood said the team showed better enthusiasm and better movement. He also said if the team members practiced with the other players games with, a big improvement could appear.
"Like I told the girls tonight, if we could practice like we play, put out the same intensity we have in games, we could be a better team by the end of the week and borderline great by the end of the season," Lockwood said.
Setter Jan Hunt said she does not know why the team has had problems winning matches.
"He (Lockwood) says we play well, so why aren't we winning?" Hunt said. "He told us not to be ashamed and to think positively, but it is hard to think that way when we don t win one out of three. I can't see one big reason why we aren't winning."
Lockwood said. "We had a good crowd and I really appreciate that. We have a volleyball fan club that has been following the team this season. That's college spirit, and I like it. These students don't realize how much they mean to our game."
Giving support at the match was a newly formed volleyball fan club, headed by Chuck
Kansas volleyball players Eileen Schwartz, left, and Julie Ester, attempt to block a spike by Iowa State's Katy Lavery. The Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones Saturday in Allen Field House, 15:8, 15:6, 15:7.

"The competition was some of the better teams in the area." Perelman said. "By us winning by such a big margin, it looks like there wasn't any competition, but it was a strong field. Going into the tournament, it would be any one of three or four teams could win."
Pereman said Wolf had a good match in the No.1 singles final, playing a player that was ranked in the top 100 in the country last year, Tom Coulton
