OKLAHOMA CITY — If the second-ranked Oklahoma Sooners are going to hold their lofty national status in college football this season, they are going to have to do it with a backfield long on talent but short on experience. Spencer Tillman and Earl Johnson, Oklahoma's most experienced backs, were injured Saturday night in the Sooners' 13-7 victory over Minnesota. Tillman, a tailback, is out for an undetermined length of time with a hamstring pull, while Johnson, a fullback, is out for the remainder of the year with a cracked kneecap. It is the third time Johnson has injured the knee in less than two years. Tillman looked dazzling for one period, rushing eight times for 73 yards before limping off the field early in the second quarter. The loss of Tillman and Johnson, both juniors, leaves Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer with only one truly experienced back, sophomore fullback Lydell Carr. Tisdale holding out INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers said yesterday they have run into a snag trying to sign top draft choice Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma. The Pacers said Sunday they had an oral agreement with Tidale, chosen second overall in the NBA draft, but yesterday team officials said "an immediate resolution to contract discussions is not expected."

The Jayhawks lost to the Washburn i10bows 10-8 at Memorial Stadium Penalties plague Kansas in 10-9 Washburn defeat By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff The Washburn Ichabads defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 10-8 in Memorial Stadium yesterday in a junior varsity game plagued by penalties. Tempers flared several times as Kansas committed 12 penalties for 108 yards and Washburn was penalized eight times for 63 yards. "Some were deserved and some were questionable," KU coach George Warhop said yesterday. "We lost our composure, and I myself was guilty of that. The only scoring in the first half came on field goals. Washburn scored first with a 42-yard field goal by Don Hargis in the second quarter, and Kansas countered with a 27-yard field goal by Chase Van Dyne to tie the score 3-3. "We started out slow and kind of lackadaisical at first," said KU quarterback Jeff Rank, who completed 10 of 16 passes for 115 yards. "We made a move to we pick it up. We showed we're a better team than we played." to Florida with the varsity team, said. "We played in spurs. I think it was a lack of intensity. We weren't really ready to play and Washburn came out really fired up." Rank, who this weekend traveled Rank was intercepted twice and overthrew his receivers several times after a strong performance last week against Bethany. Washburn quarterback Andy Tsafforas scored on a one-yard run with two minutes, 29 seconds left in the third quarter to make the score 10-3. On Washburn's next possession, KU free safety Mike McElhainny intercepted a Tsafforas pass and ran it 66 yards to the Kansas 16-yard line, but the play was nullified because of pass interference. "I wouldn't say he had an off day," Warhop said, "He threw high sometimes." Tsaffors completed 14 of 26 passes for 145 vards. In the fourth quarter, KU line-backer Kurt Kerns blocked a Wash-burn punt at the 11-yard line with 2:58 left on the clock. Kansas scored on fullback on fullback Heiman Heiman's two-yard run to make the score 10-9. Rather than attempt the extra point to tie the game, Kansas coaches opted to try the two-point conversion. Heiman ran up the middle, but was stopped short of the goal line. "I thought it was a good choice at the time," Warhop said. "You have to have faith in what you call and I believed in it when I called it." Kansas had one more chance for victory when it got the ball back on the Washburn 42-yard line with 1:36 left in the game. On second down, Mark Lesher dropped a short pass over the middle from Rank. John Brehm dropped a third-down pass on the eight-yard line. On fourth-and-two Rank was sacked for a five-vard loss. "It if wasn't for a dropped ball we would have won," said Warhop. "The team itself wasn't doing so badly." Heilan finished the day with 11 rushes for 68 yards and one touchdown. Kansas tailback Anthony Johnson rushed 12 times for 45 yards. Kansas plays Pratt Junior college next Monday in Memorial Stadium. 'Hawks nurse injuries; prepare for Panthers By a Kansan reporter The Kansas football team practiced without pads yesterday in Anschutz Sports Pavilion, preparing for Saturday's game in Memorial Stadium against Eastern Illinois. The Jayhawks are coming off a 24-20 loss to Florida State last Saturday in Tallahassee. Fla. mike tottled said yesterday that he hoped Byrd would be practicing by Thursday. Byrd was on cratches at yesterday's practice. Tight end Sylvester Byrd, who suffered a sprained ankle against the Seminoles, is questionable for the Eastern Illinois game. Head coach Defensive tackle Robert Tucker suffered an ankle injury, a hyperextended heel and a sprained knee against Florida State. Gottried said he doubted Tucker would play Saturday. Wide receiver Skip Peele, strong safety Mavin Mattox and free safety Wayne Ziegler, all of whom missed Saturday's game with knee injuries, will be out of action against Eastern Illinois. Gottfried said that after reviewing films of the Florida State game, he was impressed with part of his team's performance, but that the Jayhawks lacked consistency. "I saw that Florida State is really a good football team," G Gottfried said. "We played well, but we had some breakdowns. We are kind of like a typewriter. When we broke down, it was across the board. "We really stopped ourselves. We really played well, but we didn't maintain it." Eastern Illinois is coming off a 42-13 loss to Southern Illinois, and has a 2-2 record. Kansas and Eastern Illinois have a common opponent, Indiana State. The Jayhawks beat Indiana State 37-10, and Eastern Illinois beat the Sycamores 37-9.

The Bengals, 1-3, scored nearly twice Esiason, who a week ago replaced Ken Anderson as the starter, completed 19 of 27 passes for 184 yards with no interceptions. He completed touchdown tosses of 26 and 4 yards to Rodney Holman in the second and fourth quarters and connected with Eddie Brown on an 8-yard scoring pass in the third period. as many points as the powerful Steeler defense had given up in its first three games. Those first three opponents scored 20 points. Jim Breech added a 32-yard field goal in the fourth quarter after missing a 50-yard attempt earlier in the game. The Cincinnati defense, hapless in the team's first three losses, set up three touchdowns with two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Brooks, who carried 18 times, scored on runs of 14 yards in the second period and 32 yards with 1:45 left.

Rain puts damper on baseball season By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff Bv Frank Hansel Although rain has postponed six baseball games in the last two weeks, Kansas head coach Marty Pattin said Sunday the team still had plenty of time left to accomplish its objectives for the fall season. Kansas had rain troubles both last fall and spring. In the spring the Jayhawks had 15 of 65 games canceled because of bad weather. "I must be snake bit here," Pattin said in reference to the rainouts. Assistant coach Lee Ice said the rainsout hurt the players because the coaching staff had less time to evaluate the players against other teams. The regular Tuesday and Thursday intrasquid games give the team more exposure to live pitching and game situations, but Ice said it wasn't the same as facing another team. Pattin said earlier in the season that the intrasquad games would be used to help the team fulfill his role as a member of the battling a winning attitude in the club. Pattin also wants to use the fall season to improve his pitching staff, which sported an earned run average of over eight last spring. Pattin said the pitches who showed him they could pitch would make the rotation. "We're making progress in some areas, and there are still enough ballgames left for us this fall," Pattin said. Pattin also plans to cut the roster from 40 to approximately 25 by the end of the fall season. Kansas has games scheduled every weekend until the end of October, including the annual old-timers at Saturday, Oct. 8 at Quigley Field. Ice said there had been a good response to this year's game, and about 50 former Kansas players were expected to play. The Jayhawks are also scheduled to play Missouri Western this weekend, 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 at Quigley Field. Pattin said he was trying to reschedule games with both Johnson County Community College, rained out Sept. 22, and Allen County Community College, rained out last Saturday. With the remaining weekends full, the games would have to be played during the week. Ice said at least two games would be played. A vintage old-timers game, featuring older graduates, will be played first, and then the newer graduates will play the present Kansas baseball team. Ice said the fall games against the community colleges were important not only to evaluate the Kansas team, but to scout the opposing teams for potential players for next year. "Steve Purdy (KU pitcher) is an example of how we look for players from the junior colleges we play," Ice said. First baseman John Byrn got a second look by Kansas last year. He was playing for Butler County Community College and had a good game against Kansas, and now the Lawrence native is playing for the Jayhawks, ice said. Royals beat California, 3-1 to move into first place tie Saberhagen struck out 10 and walked just two, winning for the 10th time in 11 decisions. Candelaria, 6-3 for the Angels since being acquired from Pittsburgh August 2, was pulled from the playoffs by Kansas City's final run in the eighth on a triple by Willy Wilson and a sacrifice fly by George Brett. Sundberg's game-winning homer came on the first pitch from Candelaria in the seventh and flew far KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jim Sandberg's home run in the seventh inning last night broke a 1-1 tie and helped Bret Saberhagen to his 20th victory and Kansas City to a 3-1 triumph over California, pulling the Royals into a tie with the Angels atop the American League West. The Associated Press The 21-year-old right-hander, 20-6, threw a five-hitter, outdueling left-hander John Candelaria to join Ron Guday of the New York Yankees as the only 20-game winners in the AL this season. Guidy is 21-6. The clubs traded solo home runs to produce a 1-1 tie. Doug DeCincies led off the second inning with his 19th homer of the season, hitting a "2-1 Saberhagen pitch over the wall in left field. Brett, battling back from a slump that saw him hit only .223 in September, led off the fourth inning with a homer deep to right field off Candelaria. It came on an 0-1 pitch and was Brett's 26th home run of the season, a career high. Brett had 25 homers in 1983. The homer also was a club record 147th for the Royals, who had 146 in 1977. Both pitchers battled out of trouble in the fifth inning to prolong the tie. With one out in the top of the fifth, Gary Pettis bunted for a single, and Saberhagen walked Craig Gerber on 四 pitches.
