Tuesday, Sept. 24, 1985 Sports 9 University Daily Kansan JV team destroys Bethany College Bv Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff Fullback Kevin Heiman scored four touchdowns and quarterback Jeff Rank threw for two more to help lead Kansas to a 52-0 win over Bethany College of Lindsborg in junior varsity football yesterday at Memorial Stadium. Kansas got its first score on a one-yard run by Heiman 3 minutes, 27 seconds into the game. Tony Harvey took a handoff 66 yards to Bethany's four-yard line to set up the play. Kansas scored again on its next possession, just over two minutes later, when wide receiver John Brehm caught a 45-yard pass from Rank to put Kansas ahead 14-0. After a Bethany Swede fumble, Jayhawk Chase Van Dyne kicked a 33-yard field goal to make the score 17-0. The Swedes' next drive was stalled when quarterback Glenn Schaffner was sacked by Kansas tackle Mark Koncz at Bethany's own 15-yard line for a 16-yard loss. Kansas got the ball back and scored on a 42-yard pass from Rank to Heiman. "Jeff Rank was surprising," Jayhawk coach Mike Yaworksky said yesterday. "He's a freshman walk-on, and he has a great attitude." Coach George Warhop said, "It shows he's got some potential. He's still got some work to do, but he's got ability. Rank has come out and it's got him a second look." "We've got about five or six guys we might not have at the end of the block," he said. Yaworsky and W.ırhip, who share JV coaching duties, said several athletes playing with the JV team might move up to the varsity level. He said the JV team runs other teams' offensive plays against the varsity team defense during regular practices. This gives the varsity players an opportunity to familiarize themselves with opposing team's "They've got to supply everything to the offense, and here they have the chance to let loose and really have fun." Yaworsky said. Kansas had three interceptions, including two by cornerback Vince Long, to stop Bethany's offense. Bethany's only scoring threat came with 1:57 left in the first half when kicker Ken Johnson attempted a 55-yard field goal. The kick fell short, leaving the halftime score at 24-0. "I was really nervous at first," said Rank. "I had so much time to throw, the line did a great job. Kansas' next game is Monday against Washburn at Memorial Stadium. KU ranked No.20 in top 20 UPI poll By a Kansan sports reporter The Kansas Jayhawks have been ranked No. 20 in the latest UPI top 20 poll after winning their first three games of the season. On his radio call-in show last night, head coach Mike Gottfried said that he was pleased with the ranking but that it was more important for his team to be in the top 20 at the end of the season. "The ranking is great, but it's more important as we go along to steadily improve," Gottfried said. "The key is to be an improved team and get better and better." Kansas is preparing for Saturday's game against Florida State, considered the best team KU has played so far this season. But Gottfried is treating it as any other game. "The most important game for us is the game that is up that week," Gottfried said. "And after that game is over, the most important game is the one next week. That way we don't have any big highs or any big lows. John Lechliter/KANSAN "No game is worth any more than any other game. No game counts as one and a half wins. They are all the same." Kansas wide receiver Johnny Hollaway, who suffered a knee injury in the Aug. 31 Hawaii game, returned to practice yesterday at full speed. Gottifried said he expected Holloway to practice all week and play in Saturday's game in Tallahassee, Fla. "Johnny probably could have played last week if we had really needed him." Gottfried said during yesterday's practice. "He is close to 100 percent." Holloway was Kansas' top receiver in the Hawaii game with 107 yards on six receptions. Strong safety Marvin Mattot, who was forced out of Saturday's game against Indiana State with a knee injury, will be out two to four weeks with a sprained knee. Gottfried said. The three football players who were declared academically ineligible and secured a court order allowing them to practice and play with the team were not at practice yesterday. The three are tailback Lynn Williams, offensive guard Doug Certain and linebacker Dawn Griffin. The offensive player of the game from last Saturday was left tackle Jim Davis. The defensive player of the week was nose guard Steve Nave. Place kicker Jeff Johnson was named special teams player of the week. Gottfried said the team would be leaving for Tallahassee Friday afternoon. Bethany junior varsity quarterback Greg Harris watches the football sail from his arms after it was knocked loose by Kansas junior varsity linebacker Kurt Kerns. The fumble led to a Jayhawk junior varsity touchdown, making the score 45-0 on the way to a 52-0 romp.

South Carolina and West Virginia, big losers to Michigan and Maryland, respectively, and Arizona fell from the ratings. The top six teams appeared on all 42 ballots. The Big Eight had four representatives in the rankings. The Big Ten and Southeastern Conferences had three each — all in the top 10. The Pacific-10, Atlantic Coast, Southwest and Western Athletic Conferences each had two teams in the ratings and there were two independents. After victories over Southwest Louisiana and Southern Mississippi in which star running back Bc Jackson collected 495 yards and six touchdowns, Auburn took last week the Tigers play Tennessee Saturday. Oklahoma, which has remained No. 1 or 2 in all the ratings this season without playing a game, visits Minnesota Saturday. Florida State will be host to Kansas on Saturday. The Jayhawks improved to 3-0 last weekend with a 37-10 truncating of Indiana State. Free safety Wayne Ziegler, who injured his knee against Vanderbilt, will not play against Florida State. Also out will be wide receiver Skip Petee, who injured his knee against Hawaii. Florida State beat Kansas 41-16 in Lawrence last season. Florida State is ranked No. 5 in the UPI poll with 455 points. Yankees' skipper may lose reign; Whitson out of rotation United Press International NEW YORK — A day off from the pennant race yesterday did little to calm the turmoil surrounding be-leaguered Billy Martin and the New York Yankees. Martin was involved in two late night skirmishes during the weekend in the bar of the Cross Keys Hotel in Baltimore. The second incident Saturday night resulted in his arm being broken by pitcher Ed Whitson. But rather than receiving sympathy for his broken right arm, Martin instead was the object of considerable speculation that his fourth reign as Yankee manager would run no longer than the er, 1 of this season. However, it was learned Martin will continue as manager through the remainder of the regular season, which ends Oct. 6. The Yankees said that as of yesterday, no penalties had been levied against Whitson or Martin, although a club spokesman said Whitson, a disappointment after being given the clemency for negligent contract last winter, was not listed in the club's starting rotation through Thursday. Although principal owner George Steinbrenner has not fired anyone, he is disturbed that several other Yankee players, including Dave Righetti, Dale Berra, Rickey Henderson and Rich Bordi, were in the bar during at least one of the incidents. “As much as I’m concerned about the fights, I’m even more upset about the curfews, and the fact so many players were in the bar that late at night before a day game,” Steinbrenner said from Tampa, Fla. “Otherwise I don’t have anything else to say until I get the reports.” Steinbrenner sent General Manager Clyde King and Woody Woodward, the vice president for baseball administration, to- Baltimore to investigate the circumstances of the fight between Martin and Whitson. "I'm not going to do anything at all before I know all the facts." Steinbrenner said. "I'm not going to do anything until I have a chance to talk to Billy. I intend to do that sometime later this week." Even before Friday night's incident, when Martin got involved in a shoving match with a young man, there were reports he would be relieved as manager at the end of the season and would be assigned other duties for next year. the Saturday's incident, he and Berra were trying to act as peacemakers when Whitson became involved in trouble with a patron at the bar. "I wasn't trying to fight," Martin said. "I was only trying to break up a fight." Whitson, meanwhile, still was upset at Martin for being replaced in the starting lineup by Bordi against the Orioles Friday. Martin explained at the time that Whitson was having arm trouble, a statement the pitcher disputed. According to Martin's version of "I was shocked," Martin said about the way Whison leaped at him. Golf team places 17th in tourney By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff Women's golf coach Kent Weiser wasn't exactly pleased with his team's performance in Florida last weekend, but there were signs of improvement, he said yesterday. Kansas finished in 17th place out of 19 teams in the Lady Seminole Tournament, which was hosted by Florida State. Florida International won the three-round tournament. Kansas was led by junior Tina Gnewchw who shot rounds of 82, 83 and 81 for a 246 total. Jenny Lidback, of Louisiana State, won the tournament with a 213. "I'm a little disappointed in our performance because I know we can do better." Weiser said. "But I can see our progress coming along." "Tina is very consistent with what she can do," Weiser said. "She sometimes scores high for her ability, but she never explodes with the big numbers." Tri-captain Maureen Kelly, who shot rounds of 87, 79 and 81 for a 247 total, said the team never gave up when they easily could have. The first round was in their last after the first round and were in 17th place for all three rounds. "I was disappointed with the 87." Kelly said. "But I made some adjustments and scored better even though I thought I played worse on the second day." Weiser said the tournament field was strong, especially for the first tournament, but his team couldn't worry about the competition. "I would say that 12 of these 19 teams will go to the national championships," Weiser said. "If we can walk off the course and say we shot well then I don't care where we finish, because if we shoot well then we will finish high because of the ability on this team." Kelly said the short game gave the whole team trouble. Weiser said teams can be easily distracted in big tournaments, and that the team needed not to worry about anything except their own game. Sophomore Sue Pekar finished third for Kansas, shooting rounds of 90, 79 and 84 for a 253 total. She said she hit the ball well, but had trouble with her chipping and putting. "There were times when I wouldn't take what the course was giving me," Kelly said. "Instead of accepting a bogey and walking off, I would try and get fancy and end up taking a double or triple bogey." Freshman Linda Bauerleer said she wasn't as nervous as she thought she would be for her first collegiate tournament, but she wasn't satisfied with her scores. Bauerleer shot rounds of 85, 83 and 84 for a 256 total. Bauerle said the rough on the course was taller than, the golfers were used to, but with the wide fairways it didn't make that much of a difference. The fifth golfer to make the trip was junior Marilee Schnied, who shot rounds of 83, 91 and 82 for a 257 total. "I've just got to learn how to chip better," she said. Weiser said, "This team is improved from last year. We went to South Carolina last year and couldn't break 1000, (Kansas shot) against the teams we'll see in other tournaments then we'll be alright." Kelly said it was nice to get the first tournament out of the way, and she was looking for the team to play well this week in Iowa. The Jayhawks next tournament will be in Northern Iowa starting Thursday, and Weiser said he would name the six golfers to make the trip after practice today.

Mo. — Kansas City center fielder Willie Wilson says he is so frustrated by a 2-for-22 slump that he's considering asking to be taken out of the lineup against left-handers as the Royals begin a critical six-game road trip. "I'm going to talk to Dick (Royals manager Dick Howson) about maybe platooning somebody with me," the switch-hitting Wilson said after going hitless in four at-bats Sunday. The Royals dropped a 7-3 decision to Minnesota to fall a game behind the California Angels in the American League West. "It all right hitting left-handed, but it's really frustrating because I can't do what I'm used to doing." Wilson said. "I feel like I'm hurting the team. I feel out of it. I don't feel like I'm contributing." Wilson said his timing hadn't been right since he sat out 18 games after undergoing surgery to relieve swelling in his leg following an allergic reaction to a penicillin shot. Wilson's slump is another worry for Howser, who has seen his starting pitching sag in the final month. "Our pitching is going to have to be good." Howser said. "It wasn't good on this home stand. It's going to have to be better on this road trip." Dickerson leads Rams past Seattle. 35-24 United Press International SEATTLE — Eric Dickerson ran for 150 yards and three touchdowns in his season debut last night, leading the Los Angeles Rams to a 38-24 victory over Seattle for the Seahawks' first loss.

He ran 31 times against the Seahawks. 19-yard scoring toss to wide receiver Bobby Duckworth. Dieter Brick, the former Canadian Football League quarterback, led the Rams passing game with 203 yards. He completed 12-of-24 attempts, including a The game was billed as a battle between Dickerson and Seattle star running back Curt Warner, Warner, however, picked up just 32 yards on 13 carries and lost one fumble.
