Baseball team wins 2
The Kansas Jayhawks swept a doubleheader from Missouri Western, 8-4 and 11-3, yesterday at Quigley Field. The wins left the Jayhawks with a 3-1 fall season record.
In the first game, Kansas jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead with five runs in the second innning. Baseman Mitch Wiles, who had three RBIs, drove in two runs after the ball off losing pitcher Dale Ree.
Steve Purdy shut out Missouri Western for six innings on just two hits. Both hits came in the first. Purdy struck out six and walked one, and he gave way to Craig Houfek who retired the side in the seventh.
"That's the way he's capable of pitching," head coach Marty Patten said of Purdy. "He got the ball up in the first, but he settled down and pitched well."
In the second game, Kansas scored in the first three innings for a 6-10 lead, and the Jayhawks broke it open with five runs in the fifth. In the sixth, the Tigers scored a 3-run single and catcher Jon Pattn added a two-run double in the fifth.

Strong second half gives Kansas another big win
By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff
Kansas head football coach Mike Gottfried held a rare Sunday practice after the Jayhawks' 44-20 win over Eastern Illinois on Saturday.
The Jayhawks worked on special team play and various kicking formations that they will see from Iowa State Saturday. Both teams will participate in a conference play with the game, which will begin at 11:40 a.m. in Ames, Iowa.
After the practice, Gottfried said the injury situation was looking better. Linebacker Stacy Henson suffered a t toe in the game, and his is on a day-to-day basis. He has also played injured against Eastern Illinois.
Gottfried said he expected fight end Sylvester Byrd to be ready for Iowa State, and Wayne Ziegler and Marvin Mattox could also be ready.
"The key for us in the conference season is to play aggressively and with some consistency," Gottfried said.
The Jayhawks were more than matched by the Panthers in first-half yardage, and Eastern Illinois trailed Kansas by one point. 13-12.
The second half was a completely different game, EIU head coach Al Molde said. Kansas scored on its first three possessions of the half and opened up a 34-12 lead.
Panther strong safety Bob Bronaugh, who kept EIU's first scoring drive going with a fake punt run of two yards, said his team was confident at half time about winning the game.
Molde said, "We thought we could catch KU a little flat after the Florida State game, and in the first half I think they were."
Kansas quarterback Mike Norseth, who completed 20 of 38 passes for 303 yards and four touchdowns and threw one interception, disagreed.
"I don't think we were down from Florida State, because we really had a great week of practice," Norseth said. "I think we just came out a little flat."
The highlights of the first half for the Kansas offense were a 99-yard touchdown pass to Willie Vaughn and a 23-yard Norseth touchdown run. Vaughn caught 5 passes for 117 yards.
On their first touchdown of the third quarter, the Jayhawks ran the ball eight of the ten plays. Arnold Fields ended the drive with a five-yard touchdown run.
"In the second half, Kansas found our weakness, and they ran the ball up the middle," said Bronaugh. "You've got to give Kansas credit for mixing up their offense and coming out different in the second half."
Gottfried said Kansas went to the running game because Eastern Illinois was using more defensive backs to stop the passing game.
Kansas broke the game open on Norseth touchdown passes to Sandy McGee, who had 3 catches for 61 yards; Richard Estell, who had 2 catches for 31 yards; and Johnny Holloway, who had 7 catches for 78 yards.
"It it's tough when you ask defensive backs to play the run," Gottfried said. "I probably should have done it sooner."
Norseth's touchdown pass to Holloway tied him for third on KU's all-time touchdown pass list with 20. It was Norseth's 11th touchdown pass this season.

only a fourth quarter touchdown, after the game was out of reach for EIU.

Gottfried sparks 'Hawks with talk
All last week, head football coach Mike Grottoff kept saying he was looking for someone to give his team a spark. To achieve that, he revamped the defense and started Tom Quick at wide receiver.
But during the first half of Saturday's game against Eastern Illinois, the Jayhawks couldn't quite get over a comeback. But the engine wouldn't turn over.
In the first quarter of Kansas' 44-20 victory, quarterback Mike Norsen and wide receiver Willie Vaughn connected on two consecutive plays to move the Jayhawks 80 yards for a touchdown.
But the Jayhawks, with one of the nation's most explosive offenses, were still only one point ahead of the Eastern Illinois Panthers — a NationalCollegiate Athletic Association Division I-AA team.
"We got a little pep talk at halftime," said Kansas wide receiver Johnny Holloway after the game. "We were kind of slow, we were out there in the first half. Coach told us that we were a much better team than that.
So instead of relying on a spark, Gottfried took the matter into his own hands and lit a fire under his players with his halftime talk.
"The loss to Florida State was still hurting us. The sting was still there a little bit. It hurt to have it lingering on, so we had to work that out of us."
Gottfried didn't agree on the cause, but he did agree with Holloway about the effect. The Jayhawks were asleep in the first half and had to snap out of it.
"We weren't as crisp as we have been," Gottfried said. "We were kind of lethargie in the first half. It wasn't the Florida State game. We were over that.
When the Jayhawks came back out, they did just what Gottfried wanted them to. They opened the third quarter with a drive of eight runs and two passes, marching 80 vards for a touchdown.
"In the course of 12 games, you are going to have some of those days, some of those halves and some of those quarters. It's the nature of the game. You've just got to be able to come back out and win."
"With the wind out there, it was a coaches nightmare," Gottfried said. "We knew we had to run the football. We had to be able to take control right there."
Kansas did indeed take control right there. In the second half, the Jayhawks scored four touchdowns and a field goal. Eastern Illinois scored one touchdown, put the ball four times, was intercepted twice and had a punt blocked.
Credit linebacker Willie Pless with the blocked punt, but also credit him with the conception of the play that resulted in the blocked punt.

Raiders avenge loss to K.C.
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Marc Wilson, returning from a severe ankle sprain, passed for 241 yards and one touchdown while Marc Allen rushed for 126 yards yesterday, helping the Los Angeles Raiders avenge an early-season loss to Kansas City with a 19-10 victory over the Chiefs.

The Raiders, who lost 36-20 to the Chiefs in the third week of the season, improved to 3-2. Kansas City fell to 3-2.
start against the Chiefs, but Wilson played the entire game. He completed 18-of-29 passes with no interceptions.
Wilson hit Jim Smith with a 6-yard scoring pass in the second quarter. Chris Bahr had four field goals for the Raiders' other points.
Wilson was forced to leave last week's game against New England when he turned his right ankle. Rookie Rinky Hilger was expected to
The Chiefs could manage only a 36-yard first-quarter field goal by Nick Lowery before moving within 13-10 with 11:15 left in the game on Bill Kenney's 41-yard TD strike to backup wide receiver Anthony Hancock.
Bahr's third field goal, a 31-yarder with 6:04 remaining, put the Raiders up 16-10. He added a 41-yard field goal with 15 seconds left.
the first half, but went over the 100-vard mark with 29 total carries.
After the Raiders concluded their opening possession with a punt, Kansas City took a 3-10 lead. The Chiefs used a 36-yard pass from Kenney to Henry Marshall to move into field-goal range. Lowery hit the 36-yarder 5:34 into the game.
Allen had just 19 yards rushing in
Kenney was 15-of-28 for 322 yards and one interception. He was sacked six times for 50 yards.
Brett loses managing debut
The Raiders went ahead 7-3 with 10:26 left in the half. Taking over after a 30-point punt on the ball on the Chiefs 45, Los Angeles began the touchdown drive with a 26-yard sideline pass from Wilson to rookie Jesse Hester.
Brett benched himself in favor of Daneorg at third base and also sat down regulars Steve Baliboni, Frank White, Buddy Biancalana, Lannie Smith, Willie Wilson and Jim Sundberg in favor of reserves like Jim Scranton, Dave Leeper, Omar Moreno and Lynn Jones.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — George Brett of the Kansas City Royals is a better player than he is a manager.
Brett asked Dick Howser whether he could manage the Royals in their season finale Sunday, the day after Kansas City had clinched their sixth Western Division championship in 10 seasons.
Kansas City's starting lineup had a
cumulative batting average in and it showed — the Royals managed only six hits in falling to the Oakland A's 9-3.
"I think the boys were still coming down from last night," Brett said. "It looked like a bunch of drunken sailors out there. That was the darnedest exhibition of baseball I've ever seen."
"It just goes to show that Hall of Fame players don't make good managers," Howser said.
The A's started Alfredo Griffin at shortstop so he could play in all 162 games this season and then pinch-hit Mike Gallega for him in the second innning. Gallega doubled to knock in a run and also scored during the three-
run inning that gave the A's the lead for good at 4-1.
Mike Heath led off the second with a walk, took second on a groundout and scored on Gallego's double off Mike Jones, 3-3. After Steve Henderson walked, Gallego came around to score and Henderson took second when left-fielder Dave Leeper dropped a fly ball by Tony Phillips. Dusty Baker then doubled home Henderson for a 4-1 lead.
Kansas City cut the deficit to 4-3 in the third thanks in part to an Oakland error. Jones led off with a walk and took second when first baseman Dusty Baker misplayed a grounder by the shortstop Scranton for an error
