Late surge lifts Seminoles over Jayhawks
By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff
The Kansas Jayhawks, whose record dropped to 3-1 after a 24-20 loss to Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla., will have one more game to prepare for the Big Eight conference schedule when they face Eastern Illinois at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
Saturday's loss saw the return of tailback Lynn Williams and wide receiver Johnny Holloway to the Kansas lineup. Holloway had been out with a knee injury since the first game of the season, and Williams had been out since he had been declared academically ineligible by the University of Kansas earlier this month.
Williams was declared eligible to play under the discretion of head coach Mike Gottfried because of an order signed Wednesday by Johnson County District Judge Phillip L. Woodworth. Williams is eligible to play unless the court rules otherwise.
No trial date has been set in Williams and linebacker Dane Griffin's suit against the University. Griffin, who also was declared eligible under the order, traveled to Florida but did not play.
Gottfried said yesterday that he decided on the way to Tallahassee to play Williams. Williams ran for 68 yards and caught four passes for 42 yards.
Gettified said he would wait until later today to determine whether Williams would move up on the depth chart, but he said Williams and sophomore Mike Rogers would continue to split time at tailback.
"He'd played as well as he could have for missing as much time as he did." Gotfried said.
The Jayhawks' defeat shouldn't be a problem in preparing for Eastern State University.
"There shouldn't be any letdown, in fact we should be an angry ballclub," he said. "We've got a lot of good character on this club, and I think they're very capable of coming
Gottfried said one of his concern was the EIU passing game. He said the Jayhawks would work on all plays of their pass defense this week.
back and getting ready for next week's same."
EIU quarterback Sean Payton threw 48 passes for 594 yards two weeks ago and was named ESPN's player of the week. He received the honor one week after Kansas quarterback Mike Norseh is ESPN's player of the week for his performance against Vanderbilt.
Saturday, however, Payton and Eastern Illinois were shut down by Southern Illinois 42-13. Payton was held to just 13 complements and 139 yards. The loss left Eastern Illinois with a 2-2 record.
"I don't know what kind of conditions the game was played in," Gottfried said. "But I know they are a very capable team."
Another area that has Gottfried concerned is the Jayhawks' tackling. He said Kansas did a poor job of
tackling against Florida State, which scored two fourth quarter touchdowns, improving its record to 4.0.
Gottiefeld said, "We were blizzing on the play, and we just missed making the play. We've got to do a better job of covering man to man."
The Seminoles erased a 20-10 Kansas lead by scoring 14 points in two and a half minutes. Back-up quarterback Chip Ferguson led the come-from-behind victory, which was the Seminoles' third in four games. He threw 68 yards to wide receiver Phillip Bryant and put Florida State within a field goal, 20-17
In addition to ending Kansas's three-game winning streak, Florida State also ended Norseth's string of passes without an interception at 175. The Seminoles went on to pick off four Norseth passes.
After Norseth's third interception, Ferguson led the Seminoles 62 yards for the winning touchdown with 10:19 left in the game.
The Kansas offense, which seemed
to move at will against Florida State early in the game, had a harder time in the second half.
"Florida State went back to a more basic defense in the second half, and they just did a better job against us," Gottfried said.
In four games the Florida State defense has given up just three points in the second half, and that was an 18-yard field goal by KU kicker Jeff Johnson in the third quarter that gave Kansas a 20-10 lead.
Kansas had two more opportunities to pull off an upset, but the drives ended with a play by Rob Dickerson and another interception with 1:14 left in the game.
Tight end Sylvester Byrd and defensive tackle Robert Tucker suffered injuries against Florida State. Byrd injured his foot, which was broken in the face, said Byrd was questionable for the Eastern Illinois game.
Tucker suffered an ankle injury; hyperextended heel and sprained knee.
Seahawks flounder in Kansas City rain
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bill Kenney threw two touchdown passes to Stephone Paige, and Pro Bowl safety Deron Cherry intercepted four Seattle passes to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a rain-soaked 28-7 victory yesterday over the Seahawks.
See NFL roundup p. 15.

Kenney also rushed one forward for Herman Heard run two yards for another score to driff Selley to 3-2.

The Seahawks moved inside the Kansas City 30 on three consecutive possessions in the second quarter, but failed to score because of an interception, a fumble and a missed field goal, bringing the Chiefs to cling to a 14-10 lead.
Seattle finally broke Kansas City's shutout on a 35-yard pass from Krieg to Daryl) Turner in the closing minutes of the third quarter. But Krieg threw his fourth interception and the third to Cherry on the opening play of the fourth quarter. He was relieved then by rookie Gale Gilbert.
Krieg finished 19 of 38 for 220 yards, but had several of his passes dropped because of the wet ball. He made a third and a fourth in the closing minutes off Gilbert.
The Chiefs' first touchdown was set
up by a fumbled punt by Seattle's Danny Greene; who tried to field a 61-yard Jim Arnold punt. Greene's over-the-shoulder attempt failed when the ball went through his hands. When Ken Jelly as he tried to pick it up.
The ball was recovered by Kansas City's Bruce King on the five. Two plays later, Heard went off right guard for his 2-yard touchdown and a 7-0 Kansas City lead.
The Chiefs then drove 87 yards with their next possession to increase their lead to 14-0 on the 34-yard touchdown pass from Kenney to Paige. Kenney also completed passes of 24 yards to Paige.

Volleyball team victorious
By Heather Fritz
Of the Kansan sports staff
The Kansas volleyball team raised its record to 7-4 with four straight victories Friday and Saturday at the University of Tulsa Tournament at Tulsa. Okla.
The Jayhawks lost only two sets while sweeping matches with Tulsa, Wichita State, St. Louis University and East Texas State.
"They played the best I've seen them," said head coach Frankie Albitz yesterday. "They finally relaxed and played some good ball."
KU players Catalina Suarez and Julie Ester were named to the all-tournament team.
Friday, Kansas beat Tulsa 15-9,
15-11, 9-15, 15-8. Also on Friday,
Kansas beat East Texas State, which
Albiz said was the toughest of the
competition, 16-14, 15-8 and 15-11.
Saturday, Kansas beat Wichita State 15-6, 15-4, and St. Louis, 12-7.
Albitz said that the team's offense had improved, and that the team worked well together.
"I'm still not pleased with the mobility on the offense, but they're getting the team idea," she said.
Albizt had been concerned with the team's last few practices. She said the practices were not as intense as the team didn't seem to affect the team's play.
"I think they just relaxed with me," she said. "They were just not as scrapy. I think they're switching from a physical to a mental game."
The team had practiced changing its usual four-man receive of service to a three-man receive, Albitz said, but they had never used it in a game. "Also the team used the three-man form to send a two-man receive on its own.
"They picked up the concept and they were thinking on their own." Albitz said. "It was like someone turned on a light bulb."
Ester said, "We just put everything together. I don't remember any mental errors. Usually that's our biggest problem."
Players find lessons in losses
By Heather Fritz
Of the Kansan sports staff
Although they didn't win, the members of the women's team returned to Lawrence with some new proof of their ability after competing yesterday in the Midwest Intermediate tournament in Evanston, IL.
"This tournament really proved to me how well I can play." Christine Kim said yesterday. "I think the whole team learned a lot. The team should have dominated the tournament."
Kim and Tracy Treps made it to the third round of the tournament, but teammates Christine Parr and Marie Hibbard lost in the second round. Pam Porter, Barb Inman and Marni were defeated in the first round.
Kim, who defeated the tournament's third seed in the second
round, was disappointed when she had a letdown of attitude in her next match.
When Trepa lost in the third round,
she also knew the match could have
Referring to head coach Scott Perelman, she said, "How know I
"When I played the third seed I thought, 'Go out there and give it your all,'" she said, "but in the next match I went out there thinking about a lot of other things. I didn't have that spirit. I wouldn't be as upset if I felt I had fought for every point. I was really mad at myself so I kind of avoided talking about the match."
Treps said that the tournament was good for the KU women because it gave players a chance to compete
"I don't think I was outclassed," she said. "She just played better that
against women from outside the conference, including players from Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Notre Dame.
Porter said, "There was good competition. But it's frustrating to see players who are just as good as you and you don't win."
Porter said a big motivational advantage was gained from playing on the TV.
"You lose and you see how close you are," she said. "You realize you can play these points.
"We've got the talent on the team.
It's a confidence thing — walking out there and seeing someone who's supposed to be better than you, but playing on their level and not being intimidated."
Said Kim, "Instead of going out there with our heads down, we should go out with our heads up. I know one of us could have walked right into the finals."
