--- Sports University Daily Kansan 13 Thursday, Sept. 26, 1985 K.C. snaps loss streak to Seattle United Press International SEATTLE — Lonnie Smith doubled home two runs and scored twice to back Bret Saberhagen's 19th victory last night, lifting the Kansas City Royals to a 5-4 triumph over Seattle and snapping a 10-game losing streak to the Mariners. Smith's doubled sparked Kansas City's three-run seventh inning and chased starter Matt Young, 12-17. Saberhagen, 19,6 pitch 8 ½ innings, striking out four and walking one. He was lifted in favor of Steve Farr after surrendering a three-run homer to Ken Phelps. The victory kept the Royals a half-game behind first-place California in the AL West. The Angels defeated Chicago 7-4. With one out in the ninth, Dave Henderson doubled, and Donnie Scott walked with two out. Phelps, pinch hitting for Spike Owen, hit his ninth homer of the year, a drive over the left field wall that made it 5-4. Farr walked Jack Perconte and Phil Bradley reached on shortstop Buddy Biancalana's error on a routine grounder to put runners at first and second. Farr struck out pinch-hitter Danny Tartabull to end the game and earn his first save. BiancaLana led off the seventh with a single and went to third on Willie Wilson's double. Smith's double scored both runners and gave Kansas City a 4-1 lead. Out one later, Hal McAe singled home Smith. John Lechliter/KANSAN The Mariners took a 1-10 lead in the fourth. With one out, Alvin Davis walked and advanced to second on Gorman Thomas' single. Kansas defensive end Phil Forte takes a break during practice. Forte and the rest of the Jayhawks practiced yesterday behind the Anschutz Sports Pavilion in preparation for Saturday's game at Florida State. If Williams is right, he's got a good case Even with today's drug controversies and athletes reneging on signed contracts, positive results have emerged for the widened world of drug use. Being an informed sports fan has taken on new, dimensions in recent years. Watching games and keeping track of statistics don't cut it Two Kansas football players, Lynn Williams and Dane Griffin, don't think their being declared academically ineligible was just, so they are fighting it in court. Regardless of whether they succeed, they are standing up for what they think is right. And they're will prove their diversity to prove themselves correct. To keep athletes from going to college to play sports with no intention of earning degrees, the National College Athletic Association's satisfactory progress rule was born. It was based on good intentions. But the rule has too many problems to be fair, let alone effective. The rule has differing levels of effectiveness on different campuses. Making progress toward a degree at Kansas isn't necessarily the same as making progress toward a degree at other schools. Not only are there differing levels of difficulty in academics among various institutions, but interpretation of the rule is left up to each school. A certain type of course may count toward a degree at one school. It may These problems aside, the satisfactory progress rule puts a burden on athletic departments to make certain athletes are enrolled in the right classes. The athletes should have the responsibility to take classes that will earn them degrees, but the athletic department must make certain that the student's schedule will meet NCAA requirements. Athletes and academic advisers outside the athletic department are Bill Conby, professor of communication studies, who is Williams adviser, said yesterday that he was aware of NCAA rules concerning satisfactory progress because he is a sports fan, but not because of any official information released by the athletic department to academic advisers. Williams was quoted Tuesday as saying that he did not know until a week before KU's first game that he wouldn't meet the satisfactory progress rule. If that is the case, someone within the athletic department has made a grievous error. Chris Lazzarino Sports editor Williams said that he now has 29 hours in the department of health, physical education and recreation. Twenty-five hours of HPER is the maximum allowed to earn a degree. He was disallowed. That meant he didn't have enough hours to meet the satisfactory progress rule. On top of this, he said he never picked his classes. Instead, he said, he was advised to take every course he took When the University gives a faculty member the ability to advise students and sign enrollment cards, it becomes an extension of the University. If what Williams has said is true, the University approved of his classes. If the University approved of his classes, the Athletic Department should have checked that approval to receive NCAA requirements would be met. But even if what he has said is not true, the same problems in complying with the satisfactory progress rule exist. If Williams had known before August that he was not going to meet the requirements, he could have made up the difference during the summer session. It's that simple. If this court case will help shed light on the complex problems and inevitable traps that exist within the legal system, a great good will have been done. National League Toronto W L Pct.

Chicago 6, New York 4 Pittsburgh 8, Montreal 2 Detroit 10, Miami 11 innings St Louis 6, Philadelphia 3 San Francisco 5, Philadelphia 4 innings San Diego 7, San Francisco 4 Lineman lives for QB sack By Frank Hansel Of the Kerner sports staff By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff Forte and the KU defense should get plenty of opportunities to stop the rush this Saturday when Kansas plays Florida State at 6 p.m. Lawrence time. It may not have a nickname like the 'Union' or the 'Bomb Squad', but the Kansas defensive line is a close knit unit, defensive end Phil Forte said Tuesday. "This will be a big game for our defense, and we will be up for it." Forte said. "They have by far the biggest offensive line, but they have a lot of young players, so maybe we can take advantage of their inexperience." Forte, who has played all three defensive line positions, seems to have found a permanent home at defensive end along side nose tackle Steve Nave and tackle Robert Tucker. Stopping the run is one area that Forte said he had to improve, and his love for the quarterback sack sometimes hurt his rush defense. "We never get to hit the quarterback in practice, Forte said. "So in games, especially in passing situations, Robert Tucker, Steve Nave, Eldridge Avery and myself keep taking to each other. ment was in his technique and his ability to contain the opponents offense. At defensive end, he said his quickness allowed him to put a better pass rush in the quarterback — his favorite defensive pastime. "We tell ourselves that we'll have a meeting at the quarterback. Then it becomes a competition between us to see who can get there first." Forte, who was named second team All Big Eight last year, recorded eight quarterback sacks in 1984. In three games this year he has one sack. That tackle forced Vanderbilt quarterback Mark Wratcher to leave the game with a dislocated hip. He said the Seminoles would be facing a different and better defense than they saw last year in Florida State's 42-16 win over Kansas in Memorial Stadium. "We have a lot more depth, and with players like Robert and Steve playing well, it has allowed me to concentrate on defensive end." Forte said. Forte has also put on 30 pounds since his arrival from Raytown South High School, in Raytown, Mo., but it hasn't slowed him down he said. Forte said the experience and development of the defensive lineman had allowed him to concentrate on playing defensive end. "In high school I played linebacker, so I knew I had to put one some weight." Forte said. "Plus I am a lot more confident with the extra "We have a different defensive philosophy this year," Forte said. "Last year our defense didn't want to give up the big play. Now that we have more experience and our philosophy is to force the other team to run three plays and punt, so we can keep our offense on the field as long as possible." Forte said he was just getting into game shape, because he missed most of pre-season practice with a pulled hamstring muscle. The first time Forte worked out in pads was in the Hawaii game. Forte said his game legs were back, and he played his best game of the year against Indiana State. He had one tackle against the Sycamores, but he said his improve- Woodard globetrots into finals By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff Next week, assistant women's basketball coach Lynette Woodard will try to add to a career already spangled with prizes when she tries to become a member of the all-male Harlem Globetrotters. Woodard made it through the initial tryouts in July to become one of ten women in the final competition, which begins next week in Los Angeles. Mr. Foster have said they would choose one or two women as additions to the team. Woodard's list of qualifications for the job runs on and on: Kodak All-America team member for four years; academic All-American for two years; member of the 1980 Olympic team; Big Eight Woman Athlete of the Year, 1981; winner of the Wade The other finalists include 1984 Olympic team member Pam McGee, her twin, Paula McGee, Joyce Walker, Sandra Hodge, Lori Scott, Jackie White, Rosetta Guilford and Candy Lucas.

Woodard doesn't know when she will leave for California, but she remains calm and confident. growing up. The Zips were fashioned after the Globetrotters, and Campbell taught Woodard many ballbantling techniques. If the competition is decided by hard work, Woodard thinks she will win easily. "I believe that I've worked harder than anybody — I know I have," she said yesterday. Woodard, a former member of the KU women's basketball team, said she practiced with men's basketball at Loyola University. A former member of the St. Louis Zips white "I have to believe that my chances are 100 percent," she said. "If I don't, who will? I can only do the best that Lynette can do and hope the Globetrotters like it." Woodard, a Wichita native, played at Kansas from 1973 to 1981 and has been an assistant coach since August 1982. The Globetrotters will announce the new team members on Oct. 7. Players fail to endorse drug test United Press International None of the teams endorsed Baseball Commissioner Peter Ubereroth's voluntary testing proposal without a requirement that it be cleared by the Players Association, 609 major leagues. However, some players designated they might agree to a form of blanket testing. NEW YORK — Though formal voting on a proposal to test major league ballplayers for illegal drug use was incomplete, several teams yesterday closed ranks behind their union and said the plan must be negotiated by the Players Association before they would participate. "I don't want to make it sound like this is something we're totally against," said Chicago Cubs player Parker, who recently admitted using drugs over a six-year span during testimony in a cocaine trafficking trial in Pittsburgh, said he favored Ueberroth's voluntary drug testing proposal — as long as the players' union was involved in the program. San Francisco Giants player representative. God said he was a spirit. He is not just a spiritual being. Eugene Orza, associate general counsel for the Players Association said the players' support of the union was "predictable." "I don't want anybody to question whether I'm using drugs because I'm not and I'm out there giving 100 percent every day. That's the attitude of all the players here," Gott said. However, Gott said Uberroth's proposal Tuesday was unexpected. "That's why we as players want time to come back and say what we feel is the best way." He and his teammates yet voted on the testing proposal. "I wouldn't mind being tested for drugs and I don't think there's a guy in this clubhouse who would mind," Parker said. "But I would favor that the program be administered under the guidance of the Players' Association." "We could have told him (Ueberroth) that would happen," Orza said. Cincinnati Reds' slugger Dave Kansas shortstop Chene Wickham fired to first during yesterday's 16:0 romp over Kansas State. Suzy Maet/KANSAN Kansas defeats K-State, 16-0 By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff Softball coach Bob Stanclift said yesterday he wanted his team to be more aggressive on the base paths. That is exactly what the Jayhawks were in their 16-0 win over Kansas State in a 15 inning ball game at Jayhawk Field. "We probably have more speed on this team then on any I've coached here," Stancill said. "So we're going to use the fake bunt and stolen base to create some situations for our offense by being aggressive." Stancliff said the schools decided to play one 15-inning game instead of a double header because of the new National Collegiate Athletic Association rule that limits soft teams to 60 total games for both fall and spring seasons. Kansas went through the batting order in two innings, and scored four runs in the sixth and six runs in the ninth to open up a 13-0 lead. "You never know how many games you'll play in spring tournaments," Stanclift said. "This way it only counts as one game on your schedule." "I've seen their two pitchers (Rita McClure and Tarustad) give some Cramer stole third, and after catcher Gail Luecke walked, third baseman Reenie Noble doubled home two runs. Kansa defeated K-State two weeks ago 10-0 in the Nebraska tournament. teams trouble." Stancill said. "We did a good job hitting the ball today and we're beginning to adjust to different styles of pitching." The women's speed resulted in four runs in the sixth inning off of starting and losing K-State pitcher Lisa Tarquestad. Right fielder Ann Brent led on the inning with a double to left center field. Second baseman Judith Phillips walked, and both runners scored when Tarquestad threw first baseman Laura Cramer's sacrifice bunt into right field. It was the Kansas pitching that gave K-State trouble. Each of the three KU pitchers threw five innings against the Wildcats, and Stancifl said he was pleased with what he saw. Sherri Mach started and gave up two singles. She struck out four, and never let a Wildcat runner reach second base. K-State had two opportunities to score off of Reenie Powell, the second KU pitcher, but each time Powell got out of the inning. In the sixth, K-State had runners on second and third because of an error by shortstop Cherrie Wickham and a base hit by McClure. Powell ended the threat by getting third baseman Jill Kennedy to foul out to Cramer. Again in the tenth, K-State had runners at second and third and two out, and this time Powell struck out left fielder Chris Haller. Tracy Bunge pitched the final five innings. She retired all 15 hitters she faced, striking out seven. She has now thrown nine perfect innings against the Wildcats this year. Bunge gave Kansas an early lead in the first inning. After Wickham and left fielder Sheila Connolly walk- d. Bunge hit a three-run home run over the left field fence. Brent and Phillips led Kansas with three hits. Bunge, Cramer, Downs and Noble each had two hits. Kansas' next game is 11 a.m. Saturday morning against Johnson County Community College at Jayhawk Field.
