Series features pitching, power
By United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — The first game of the 1980 World Series is shaping up as a battle between one of baseball's top pitchers and a fastball-hitting team.
Added to that is an opening-game rookie pitcher.
Dennis Leonard, who picked up his third 29-victory season this year, will be on the mount for Kansas City tonight at Philadelphia Phillies and rookie Bob Walk.
Walk, 11-7 after being called up from the minors midway through the season, could be rattled by Kansas Cly's hit pitching coach Billy Connoragda.
Connors was 'Walks' pitching instructor in the minor leagues.
"Walk has all the tools," Connors said. "He is more of a nervous kid. he might get rattled. He has a tendency to get wild to the point where he can't
throw a strike. He's a hyper kind of kid.
he can be a tough kid. He'll go after you—he won't let up. He'll give you his bacon, he'll give you his being able to heir his补偿量."
"I'm not disappointed at not pitching in the playoffs," Walk said. "There was never an opportunity for my talents to be used. They couldn't afford to start me, and there really wasn't a place for me to relieve. I understood I had to do my job, and I just pulled for the other guys."
WALK HAD A 4.56 earned run average during the regular season. He has not yet pitched in the playoffs. In fact, he has not pitched since Oct. 2.
Leonard, on the other hand, pitched the second game of the playoffs and put power to the team.
He said he didn't know much about the Phillies but would not change his pitching style to adjust to the free-swirling team.
"I HAVEN'T SEEN them too much and I'll have to go over the scouting reports," Leonard said. "But I have to pitch the way I pitch. I have to pitch
where my strength is. I can't alter my style to suit them. If they're a fastball-hitting team, then it will be strength vs. strength."
The teams match up as a showcase of individual stars and contrasting styles.
In Pete Rose, Philadelphia owns perhaps the most dynamic player of the era—a player conditioned to post-season play. Kansas City's George Brett spent the last two months of the season in a dramatic run to hit 400.
As for style, the Royals rely on pitching, speed and defense, while the Phillies are more suited to the long ball. A seventh game would be played in Veterans Stadium, an easier home run park than Royals Stadium.
EACH TEAM PRIMARILY relies on an ace player to get the job done in the last innings. Kansas City has Dan Quisenberry, who earned 33 saves during the season and won the American League Fireman of the Year
award. Philadelphia's Tug McGraw has 20 saves, but he pitched in all five playoff games and may not be at his best for the Series.
The Royals said yesterday at practice that beating the Yankees after losing to them in three straight playoffs, was the highlight of their season, no matter what happened in the World Series.
KANSAS CITY second baseman Frank White, the Most Valuable Player in the American League Championship Series, said he thought the Royals would be all right if they kept playing at home. The team won Western Division title and the pennant.
"If we play this series like we did against the Yankees, we'll be all right." White said. "As far as I can see, the game balls down to pitching and throwing," she said, a strong relief pitcher. We'll be OK as long as we don't beat ourselves."
Men host K-State in final home meet
The last home meet of the men's cross country season is Friday, and KU will end its season running against cross-state rival Kansas State. The women, however, are taking the weekend off to prepare for the Big Eight Championships Oct. 25 after a grueling doubleheader in Carbondale. The men led second at the Wichita State Invitational last weekend.
Tim Gundy placed third for KU in Webb, and Tanya Heard was eighth in Webb.
"The Carbondane course was one of the toughest I've ever seen," KU women's coach Carla Goffey said. "It took us a long time, you looked, another hill was coming up."
Men's coach Bob Timmons said he had not decided who his runners would be in Friday's meet. The course length was four miles, the cover either five miles or 10,000 meters.
After the Big Eight meet for the women come the Region Six championship, followed by the AIAW national championship.
Coffey said KU's regional opponents would be strong.
"The Region Six meet will be very tough," she said. "When you run against teams with the caliber of Iowa State and the University of Minnesota, you really have your work cut out for you.
"Even though the region is very tough, we have to be optimistic. Anything can happen," Coffey said.
Weekend of tennis nets split
The KU men's tennis team got a taste of the toughness of the Big Eight Conference Saturday, losing a close match to Nebraska 5-4.
The day before, KU trounced Baker 7-2.
"Any match in the Big Eight is going to be tough," KU coach Randy McGrath said. "Every team in the conference has improved this year."
The main reason for the improvement, he said, is the fact that eight schools are putting more money in their programs than in past years.
"All of the Big Eight schools, with the exception of KU and K-State, are pumping money into their tennis programs," he said.
More money can be spent on non-revenue producing sports at Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri because of the work done by the football teams at those schools.
"Right now the only team we are definitely better than is K-State."
"Just look at Nebraska," McGrath said. "A few years ago, they were one of the weaker teams in the conference. Now they have a pretty good team."
KU beat K-State 6-3 earlier this
season.
McGrrath experimented with the pairings of the doubles teams this fall. He said he was pleased with the perfor- mance of his last game, six doubles matches over the weekend.
"We've been mixing up the pairings
to try to get some consistency," McIntosh said.

Being There (1970)
"I hear he speaks eight languages," says one; "I think he's very sery," says another; "he's very smart." Gardiner, a chance Gardener, in Hal Ashby's fine film from Jerry Koszak's novel, and the point is, you get out of the life you've spent his life in front of the TV set, and you know what that could do to a person. In the difficult role of Chance, Peter Douglas was not being bored, and Melvin Douglas as the dying millionaire who finds him a compassionate friend, and Mélaine McLaine as the millionaire's wife who finds him a compassionate friend, and a potential successor are all excellent, in this reserved, yet often wild funny film.
