Sports Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1985 9 University Daily Kansan News Briefs Injury-plagued KU prepares for 'Buffs Kansas tailback Lynn Williams, who suffered a knee injury against Oklahoma last Saturday, is questionable for this week's game against Colorado Williams didn't practice yesterday, but he did do some light jogging around the practice field. Saturday's game against Colorado will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium. Head coach Mike Gottfried said the Jayhawks still had a chance to get a bowl bid, but that they needed a good showing against Colorado. "We're still alive." Gottfried said. "But we must play well this week." Quarterback Mike Norseth was forced out of the Oklahoma game in the third quarter after hitting his elbow on the helmet of Oklahoma linebacker Brian Bosworth, but won't miss any more playing time because of the injury. He practiced yesterday and Gottfried said he would play Saturday. The Kansas basketball team will meet the Czechoslovakian National Team in an exhibition game 7:30 p.m. Friday in Allen Field House. Doug Vance, sports information director, said yesterday that Friday's game is included with an All-Sports ticket. All tickets are sold out for this season. Strong safety Marvin Mattox was forced out of the Oklahoma game with a twisted knee, and Gotfried said yesterday that he would be out for the year. Mattox was standing without crutches after the Oklahoma game and he thought his knee would be all right. 'Hawks meet Czechs From Kansan wire reports Golfer overcomes bleak fall season By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff KU golfer Chris Hutchens said yesterday that although his fall performance was not up to par, better days were ahead. "Coach (Ross Randall) has been working with my swing," Hutchens said. "I had a small alignment problem and now everything is starting to work into a natural swing. But I played better last summer." Although Hutchens said he was not really pleased with his performance this the fall season, which will end Nov. 13 in the Hal Sutton Invitational in New Orleans, La., his summer travel log could rival that of any touring professional. He played in many tournaments during the summer, including the North-South Amateur, Trans Mississippi and United States In the North-South Amateur, Hutchens was one of 32 qualifiers to reach the match play competition. He was defeated in the match play round by two-time All-American Billy Andrade of Wake Forest. Randall said school work was a main concern of Hutchins because the golf team probably traveled more than any other athletic team at Kansas. "I thought I played really well there, especially since I hadn't played competitive golf for nine months." Hutchels said. "Most of our tournaments are two or three days long, and they are in the middle of the week." Randall said. "So there are times when the golfers are away from the classroom." The Coffeeville Junior College transfer sat out KU's 1985 spring season to concentrate on his school work. Hutchens, who plans to graduate in Mav. also played in the Oklahoma "It was a disappointing performance because I had won the tournament before," Hutchens said. State tournament, an event he won in 1983. Last year, he was defeated in the quarterfinal of the match play by Oklahoma State's Kevin Wipple. He also finished as second low amateur in the Kansas Open, and qualified second among the Kansas City qualifiers for the United States Amateur. But he hasn't enjoyed that success this fall. "There is a lot of difference playing as an individual and playing for a team," Hutchens said. "When you're playing by yourself and you take a risk and lose, you're only penalizing yourself." "I didn't think I played that well, but I got everything I could out of my game to shoot the way I did," Hutchens said. "I made one mental mistake that kept me from finishing in the top five." "When you're playing for a team, every shot affects the team, so you tend not to gamble as much, just try to salvage a good score. I've always seemed to play better as an individual than as a part of a team. I'm not sure why that is, but it seems to be changing." Hutchens has been working on the mental part of his game, and he credits his progress to David Cook, KU's sports psychologist. Hutchens best showing was in his last tournament, the Tan Tara Invitational in Osage Beach, Mo. He finished in 12th place overall with two rounds of 74. Randall said Hutchens hadn't played great, but he still managed to shoot good scores. He is struggling with a couple of phases of his swing, Randall said. Suzv Mast/KANSAN "He has helped my mental side of my game in the sense that he has given me higher goals to shoot for," Hutchens said. Chris Hutchens, a member of the KU men's golf team, practiced putting recently at Alvamar Country Club, 1809 Crossgate. Hutchens is currently preparing for the Hal Sutton Invitational in New Orleans, La., Nov. 13. Local duck migration down There has been a 39 percent decline from last year in the population of ducks migrating through the Central flyway to the Kansas area, but Marvin Kraft of the Kansas Fish and Game Commission says he thinks duck hunting in Kansas is still above average. By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff The decline was due to successive drought seasons since 1980 in the Canadian provinces and the northern United States, Mike Cox, also of the Kansas Fish and Game Commission, said yesterday. To combat that decline, hunting season has been shortened and divided into three parts: Oct. 26-Nov. 3. Nov. 9-Dec. 8 and Dec. 28-Jan. 5. Also, bag limits, the legal amount allowed for each hunter, have been greatly reduced. But that wasn't the reason Kraft gave for the plentiful amount of ducks in Kansas this season. The winter conditions were available along the migratory path. There are four flyways — Atlantic, Mississippi, Central and Pacific — that ducks travel in their flights south. Ducks coming to Kansas travel through the Central flyway. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service annually conducts two surveys of waterfowl population — a breeding population survey and a production survey. The breeding survey is taken in May and June, and the production survey is taken in July. Through those studies, the service is able to make a fall flight forecast and predict the migration for each飞way. Based on the breeding surveys, the total duck population declined by 2 percent to half the 1955-1984 average. But as Kraft said, that doesn't mean that area hunters are seeing any fewer ducks. "In reality, the number of birds Kansas hunters will be exposed to is probably related to the kind of habitat we have in our state and north of our state, and the weather," he said.

Saberhagen chosen MVP once again Since shutting out St. Louis to clinch the Series Oct. 27, Saberhagen's life has been a whirlwind of time spent with newborn son Drew, a trip to the White House, a little bit of travel and no rest. United Press International That's just about what Saberhagen would have to do to top his performance in the 1985 season. He won 20 games for the Royals, was the World Series MVP and became a father for the first time when his wife delivered in the midst of Series week. NEW YORK — Bret Saberhagen has already mapped out his challenge for next year. "I haven't been back to the ballpark since the last day," Saberhagen said yesterday in the ballroom of a New York City hotel. "Maybe next year, I can win 21 games, three games in the World Series and have twins," the 21-year-old Kansas City left-hander said yesterday after accepting Sport Magazine's Most Valuable Player Award. "It's definitely hit me," he said. "I think the parade is when it hit me the most. We had a parade in Kansas City, 300,000 people came...chanting 'We're No. 1,' all these bright faces smiling, people staying out all night just to savor the feeling. Kansas City has made a name for itself." But the memory of Royals Stadium, particularly on an October Sunday afternoon when Cardinal Andy Van Slyke made the last out of the season, is crystal clear. "It has all sunk in for me." Saberhagen said. And so has Bret Saberhagen, who makes no bones about his hopes that the Sport MVP is not the end of the accolades. The American League Cy Young Award will be announced next week. "I'm not really counting on it," said Saberhagen. "But I'm crossing my fingers, my toes, anything I can cross." This is the first year that the magazine's award is not serving as the official MVP award, which Commissioner Peter Uberroth's office took over. Saberhagen won that honor—along with a Chevrolet to donate to charity. No matter what he drives to get there, Saberhagen will be returning to Royals Stadium soon to begin contract negotiations. His one-year pact — complete with incentives for winning the Cy Young Award — is up. Because Saberhagen is entering only his third year, free agency is not an option, but arbitration is. "There could be problems," said Saberhagen. "But I like to think there won't be. I have a good relationship with the Royals. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my career in Kansas City." Cards upset Cowboys 21-10 to end four-game losing streak United Press International ST. LOUIS — A 46-yard touchdown pass from Neil Lomax to Pat Tilley swowe the lehargic St. Louis offense last night and touched off a rally that brought the Cardinals a 21-10 upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Cardinals overcame a disastrous final minute of the first half to score 14 points in the third quarter and break a four-game losing streak. Dallas slipped to 6-3 and fell into a first-place tie with the New York York Giants in the National Football Conference East while the Cardinals climbed to 4-5 and renewed their hopes of salvaging the season. The Cowboys grabbed a 10-0 halftime lead, with all 10 points coming in the final 56 seconds of the second quarter. But the Cardinals, who squandered good field position throughout the first half, suddenly sprang to life three minutes into the third quarter with the 46-yard throw from Lomax to Tilley. Dallas' scores came on an 8-yard toss from Danny White to Tony Hill at the end of a 93-yard march and on The Cardinals promptly marched 65 yards the next time they had the ball and went in front on an eightyard run by Earl Ferrell with 4:07 to play in the third quarter. Urged on by the first sellout crowd of the season at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals put the game away with 4:13 to go, marching 80 yards and scoring on a 9-yard throw from Lomax to J.T. Smith. a 19-yard field goal by Rafael Septiens with one round to play in the half The victory was the first for the Cardinals on a Monday night since 1977, when they beat the Cowboys 24-17 in St. Louis. It also was only the third time in their last 14 meetings that St. Louis beat Dallas. The Cardinals not only brought life to their sagging offense, which had averaged less than 10 points per game during its losing streak, but also took some pressure off coach Jim Hanifan. After playing most of the first half in Dallas' half of the field without gaining any points, the Cardinals suddenly found themselves trailing by 10 at the half. Speculation had increased in recent weeks that Hanifan might not last the season as St. Louis coach. Dallas took over at its own 7-yard-line with less than seven minutes remaining in the second quarter and scored a 32-yard throw from White to Hul. set in the half, the Cardinals botched the kickoff, which led to a Dallas field goal. Clyde Duncan tried to field the kickoff at his own 1, but succeeded only in batting the ball out of bounds. After Dallas scored with 56 seconds St. Louis eventually had to punt from inside its own 10, and after Dallas took over at the St. Louis 44, the Cowboys were the beneficiary of a 25-yard interference penalty called on Wayne Smith.

NEW YORK — Penn State, a narrow winner in seven of its eight victories this season, convincingly claimed college football's No.1 ranking yesterday in voting by the UPI Board of Coaches. United Press International The Nittany Lions became the fourth N. 1 team this season by capturing 34 of 42 first-place votes and 600 points. A 16-12 victory Saturday over Boston College kept Penn State. undefeated and marked the seventh time this season it has won by less than seven points. That fact probably prevented the Nittany Lions from becoming a unanimous top choice and kept them off one coach's ballot entirely. Iowa, a unanimous choice the past two weeks and No. 1 the last five, sank to No. 6 after a 22-13 loss to Ohio State. Auburn and Oklahoma were the other No. 1 teams this year.

Twenty-four members of the Herrz, whose team won more games (101) during the regular season than any other, edged Cincinnati's Pete Rose by one point because sports writer Charley Feeney of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette omitted the Pittsburgh on his ballot. BBWAA — two from each NL city — participated in the balloting and were asked to name three managers in order of preference. Points were awarded on a 5-3-1 basis and Herzog beat Rose 86-85. Herzog received 11 first-place, nine second-place and four third-place votes. Rose received 10 first-place, 11 second-place and two third-place votes. Last year, Cubs' winner, Jim Frey of the Chicago Cubs, was not mentioned. Tom Lasorda, winner of the BBWAAs first Manager of the Year Award in 1983, finished third with 39 points. Dave Johnson of the New York Mets was fourth with four points, and Bob Rodgers of the Montreal Expos was fifth with two points. Feeney voted for Herzog, Lasoria and Rodgers. Had he named Rose even as his third choice, the first year Cincinnati skipper have tied Herzog for the award. Ironically, the BBWAA employed the point system for the first time last year to try to avoid ties. In the first year of the award, each writer was asked to vote for only one manager. Most baseball writers did not give the Cardinals much chance of winning the NL East when spring training opened. (2)
