Monday, Oct. 14, 1985 Sports 9 University Daily Kansan News Briefs Basketball season opens at 12:01 a.m. The HorrorZontals, the KU men's frisbee team, finished third in the Midwest Regional Ultimate Frisbee Tournament this weekend in Kansas City, Mo., falling one place short of qualifying for the National Frisbee Tournament. Basketball coach Larry Brown and the Kansas Jayhawks will officially play the 1985-86 season at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow with a 40-minute scrimmage at Allen Field House. The men's team qualified for the 16-team tournament by winning the sectional tourney for the third consecutive year. Only the first and second place finishers in regionals qualified for the National Tournament in Washington, D.C. There is no admission for the scrimmage, which will be preceeded by a dunking exhibition. Oct. 15 is the first official day college basketball teams can practice, and Mark Freidinger, graduate assistant, said the department wanted to get the students involved and excited about the basketball team and the coming season by opening the scrimmage to the public. Teams finish third The Jayhawks are coming off of a 26-8 season that took the team to the southeast regional quarterfinals, where they lost to Auburn. Kansas lost only one player from last season, guard Tad Boyle, and the team is ranked in the top ten of the Sporting News pre-season poll. The Kansas women's cross country team's hopes for a sixth-place finish in the conference championship next month were dimmed Saturday with an injury to the team's No. 2 runner, Melissa Satterfield. No. 2 runner injured The KU women's team, the Prairie Tarts, finished third in the competition. Satterfield went down about a quarter mile from the finish line at the Southwest Missouri Invitational in Springfield, Mo. At the time, she was running stride-force with Kansas' top runner, Shaula Hatcher, who finished eighth. Rovelo said Satterfield would probably miss the remainder of the cross country season. "Being sixth (in the conference) was something that would have been a good goal for us, but now it will be tough." Rovelto said. "Right now we don't even have seven healthy people." "She hasn't been x-rayed, but we're pretty certain that it's a broken foot," said coach Cliff Rovello yesterday. "It's a shame, because it was a fluke." Hatcher finished eighth in 18 minutes, two seconds, followed by Kim Sheridan, 12th, in 18:21. Rachel Albright was 19th in 18:26. Trish Almanag 20th in 19:37 and Trisha Mangan 25th in 20:46. Roveto said he had expected Hatcher and Satterfield to finish in the top 20 in the conference. Kansas finished third with 80 points, behind the winner Arkansas with 15 points and Southwest Missouri with 60 points. Kansas will not attend the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., next weekend as scheduled, he said. KU golf team sixth After one round of play, the KU women's golf team is in sixth place in the Beacon Woods Invitational in Tampa, Fla. South Florida is leading the seven teams with 300 points. Kansas has 334 points.' Maureen Kelly is leading the KU squad with an 8-over-par 80, with Brenda Sanders following at 11-over-par 83. The invitational will conclude tomorrow. From staff and wire reports Royals win 2-0, keep pennant hopes alive From staff and wire reports KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Danny Jackson, a gritty left-hander with a heart as big as his native Texas, kept the Kansas City Royals pennant hops flickering yesterday by blanking the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 in the fifth game of the American League playoffs. Despite the loss, the Blue Jays still lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 and can wrap up the first pennant in the franchise's history — and the first in Canadian major league history — when the series resumes in Toronto tomorrow night. "I'm glad we're going back," Kansas City manager Dick Howser said after the game. "It's all we can ask for. I'm elated about today's victory." George Brett, although hitless in three at-bats, also contributed to the Royals' effort, knocking in the game-winning run with "an infield grounder in the first inning. But the day clearly belonged to Jackson, a 24-year-old from San Antonio, Texas, who never gave in despite repeatedly being in serious trouble. But then again, big games aren't new to Jackson. "That's all I've been hearing the past two weeks." Jackson said in reference to the many games the Royals have had recently. "So this is a big game and I'm fortunate that I pitched well." He scattered eight hits, walked one and struck out six. But the Blue Jays three times put together two straight hits in the middle innings without scoring. After his complete-game victory, Jackson looked more as if he had lost than won. "That's because I'm tired," Jackson said. "I just want to get home and take a nap." Jackson has been described as a pitcher of the future for the Royals, but Jackson says that he has arrived as a pitcher the Royals can depend on. "I hope I've arrived. I've been here all year long." Jackson said with a laugh. The Blue Jays had runners on second and third and none out in the fifth but failed to score when Jackson retired the next three batters without allowing a ball out of the infield. in the sixth, the Blue Jays loaded the bases with two out but were denied when Jackson got Ernie Whitt on a grounder to second. The Blue Jays also wasted a two-out double by George Bell in the first inning and a pair of singles in the fourth. Kansas City missed its share of opportunities, too. But it scored a run in each of the first two innings off loser Jimmy Key, and that proved enough. The Royals wasted no time in taking the lead as Lonnie Smith led off the first with a double, stole third and scored when Brett bounced out to shortstop. It was Brett's 18th career RBI in the American League Championship Series, tying Reggie Jackson's league record. Kansas City padded its lead to 2-0 in the second. Frank White beat out a bunt, raced to third when Steve Balton lined a single to left behind on Darryl Motley's sacrilege飞 to center. Kansas City got a break in the fourth inning when Bell was thrown out at third base by Smith in left field, attempting to go from first to third on a single by Cliff Johnson with no out. Bell appeared to have beaten the play, but third base bump Dale Ford called him out, prompting an argument from Bell and Blue Jay manager Bobby Cox. Jackson settled down and solved the two next battles on grounders. "That might have been the ballgame," Cox said. "On the replay, I saw it as safe."

"This game's crazy," he said as entered the officials dressing room. Crazy could be an understatement, but at least it begins to describe the Cyclones' stunning 22-21 upset of Kansas in Ames, Iowa. It was the first Big Eight Conference game for both teams. 9 8 0 0 1 6 The Kansas offense could never quite find the groove that had been its trademark this season. Quarterback Mike Norseth threw for only 182 yards, his lowest output of the season. Alex Espinosa, ISU's quarterback, threw for 262 yards with two fewer completions than Norseth and nine fewer attempts. The leading receiver was not a Jayhawk. It was itowa State tight end Jeff Wodka, who caught seven passes for 104 yards, including a miraculous fourth-quarter reception that was the beginning of the end for Kansas. Kansas' top receiver, Richard Estell, finished third among receivers with 74 yards on nine receptions. That's not exactly the ex- On third down and eight at the Iowa State 40-yard line, Espinoza lofted a pass to Wodka, who was covered by defensive backs Milt Garner and Tony Berry. Wodka's incredible catch came with four minutes, 53 seconds left in the game and Kansas leading 21-16. plosiveness the Bomb Squad has possessed on previous Saturdays. Berry and Garner appeared to be in position for an interception, but the ball bounced off Garner's shoulder pad and into Wodka's hands for a 36-yard reception to the Kansas 23-yard line. Six plays later, Iowa State was in the end-zone and Kansas was out of luck. Berry had the same feelings on the importance of the play. "If I had intercepted it, we would have won the game," Garner said in the glum Kansas lockerroom. "I just felt terrible." Berry said. "I thought that I should have called for it. I knew that I could have called for it and made the interception. "But I felt more sorry for him (Garner). He is a great athlete and he tries hard, but lately he's having problems." Volleyball team splits its weekend matches By Heather Fritz In the loss to Wichita State, Albitz said Kansas' net game — blocking and hitting — fell anast. By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff A week ago, head volleyball coach Frankie Albitz said that Saturday's matches against Tulsa and Wichita State should have provided easy wins for the Jayhawks. Yesterday, she said the team was lucky to win one of those matches. Kansas' beat both teams earlier this season, and Albizt and team members predicted that the team would win again. Instead, the Jayhawks beat Tulsa 15-4, 15-11, 8-15, 15-10, then lost to Wichita State 2-15, 15-13, 14-16, 11-15. Kansas' record is now 10-7. "Wichita State's not that bad a team," Albiz said yesterday. "They just decided they were going to beat us. We're not making those kinds of decisions." Kansas will seek its first Big Eight conference win in three years this Saturday evening when it plays Iowa State in Allen Field House. Albizt said she was not pleased with the team's performance this weekend. The team practiced several new plays last week, and Albizt said this might have contributed to the team's poor play. "Last week I decided that if we were going to beat Big Eight teams, we were going to have to do a little more," she said. "I threw a lot of stuff at them, and I'm surprised we didn't lose both matches." "Against Wichita State, our net Chargers defeat Kansas City, 31-20 game was so weak we just couldn't survive," Albiz said. Judy Desch, who is normally one of the team's best hitters, had an off day Saturday, Albitz said. Desch was benched in favor of freshman Julie McMahon, who helped bring Kansas back to win the second game of the Wichita State match. "I've tried about everything I know," she said. "I just can't get them to loosen up and get some confidence and play with some sense." Albitz sounded despondent as she talked about the team. Albitz said Desch seemed to revert to last year's play, and without her strong hitting, the Jayhawks were in trouble. "We need one more strong hitter, and I just can't find her." Albrasid, "I don't understand why we let people off the hook," Albitz said. "We went back to hitting easy balls out. No other team is doing that for us." "They don't respond very well to what I'm calling on offense. I would get them to sink (the ball) and get them to dunk. They would only hit to one appl." One other factor in the team's play was junior Julie Ester. Ester missed three practices last week, Albizt said, because she had to fly to California unexpectedly. Her return flight was up held because of bad weather, and she didn't get in until 6 a.m. Saturday. She said the team was missing information and not responding well to instruction. SAN DIEGO — Former USFL stars Tim Spencer and Gary Anderson scored their first NFL touchdowns yesterday to lead the San Diego Chargers to a 31-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Anderson scrambled for a 6-yard TD late in the first half, and Spencer plunged over from 1 yard out to cap the scoring in the fourth quarter. Other NFL scores United Press International The victory was San Diego's first over an AFC West rival in 11 tries.

Bill Kenney threw two touchdown passes for the Chiefs, but Kansas City, which came into the game with injury AMES, Iowa — Iowa State tailback Don Poploir dives over the Jayhawk line and into the end zone for the Cyclone's second touchdown. The Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks 22/21 in Ames, Iowa. Saturday, afterparto problems on the offensive line, was held to a field goal in the second half. San Diego went ahead for the first time early in the final quarter when Herrmann connected with tight end Eric Sievers for a 10-yard touchdown-pass play that put the Chargers ahead 24-20. Mark Herrmann, starting in place of the injured Dan Fouts, also threw two touchdown passes. The Chiefs went ahead 20-17 on Nick Lowrey's 34-yard field goal with 1:14 left in the third quarter. The field goal capped a scoring drive that began with Sherman Gerrity's recovery of a fumbled punt at the San Diego 73. Spencer put the game out of reach when he crushed over the top with 6:17 left in the game to give San Diego the lead 31-20. Herrmann hit Lionel James at the Chiefs' 1 to set Spencer's touchdown. San Diego foiled the Chiefs' last threat with an interception in the end zone by rookie Wayne Davis. St. Louis evens NL series at two The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals, shocked by a bizarre runway tarpulin accident that felled Vince Coleman, rebounded with a record-setting 12-2 victory over Los Angeles last night behind the pitching of John Tudor. The victory evened the National League playoffs at two games apiece. Tito Landrum, Coleman's replacement in left field, had a record-tying four singles and drove in three runs in his first start in the playoffs. Landrum, a playoff hero for Baltimore in 1983, and Jack Clark set league playoff records with two hits apiece in the Cardinals' nine-run second inning, and Terry Pendleton drove in three runs in the inning. The Cardinals had eight hits in the inning, all singles, and sent 14 men to the plate. The Cardinals wound up with 15 hits that included the four by Landrum, three more by Clark and two apiece by Ozzie Smith and Cesar Cedeno. Clark also scored three times. Tudor, the loser in Game 1 at Los Angeles, retired the first 14 Dodgers batters and had a no-hitter going until Steve Sax doubled to lead off the sixth. Tudor, 21-8 during the season, allowed just three hits, walked two and struck out five through seven innings. He lost his shutout when Bill Madlock led off the sevent with a home run. The Cardinals, meanwhile, dispensed with Dodgers starter Jerry Reuss in their big second inning, the second straight playoff game that the Dodgers failed to get a starting pitcher past the third inning. The Cardinals keyed Bob Welch in the third inning Saturday as they beat the Knicks. The Cardinals will send Bob Forsch, 9-6, against Game 1 winner Fernando Valenzuela, 17-10, in Game 5 tonight. The best-of-seven series shifts to Los Angeles Wednesday. Coleman had trotped in from the outfield on his way to the dugout, then turned to throw his glove to a Coleman, who stole 110 bases during the season and is a key element in the Cards breakaway offense, was injured about two hours before the game. The accident occurred as the grounds crew prepared to cover the field in a light rain, using an automatic, retractable system that rolls the tarp over the infield on a long metal cylinder. teammate when the cylinder was raised from below ground level on the first-base side of homeplate. The metal cylinder apparently rolled up behind Coleman while he wasn't look-around down and ran up his left leg, causing it to snap. St. Louis 12, Los Angeles 2 LOS ANGELES ST.
