Brett-less KC falls to Angels
From Kansan wire service
ANAHEM, Calif. — The Kansas City Royals backed closer to clinching the American League West last night when the second-placed Texas Rangers lost.
The Royals, however, also lost, for the sixth time in their last eight games. The California Angels beat the Royals, 4-3.
The magic number fell to seven because Texas lost to the Oakland A's, 6-3. The magic number is the combination of Kansas City victories and Texas losses that will clinch the division for the Royals.
The Royals, playing without George Brett for the third straight game, fell behind early when California scored a goal in the second and cracked a solo home run in the third.

Without Brett, who hurt his right hand Saturday in Cleveland, the Royals have a 19-18 record. Team officials are confident they will win against majors with a .396 average, will return. He still needs 55 plate appearances to qualify for the batting championship.
California's Frank Tanana, 8-10, had Kansas City shut out until former Angel Dave Chalk singled in John Wathan with two out in the seventh. Tanana departed with none out in the ninth after Willie Mays Aikens hit a two-run homer. Mark Clear finished and earned his ninth save.
The Angels scored in the first off Paul Splittorff, 11-10, when Dickie Thon doubled, moved to third on a groundout on Carney Lansford's RBI groundout.
Ford smashed his seventh homer of the year with two out in the third for a 2-0 lead. The Angels added their final runs in the seventh when Bobby Grich
singled, took third on a double by Rick Miller and scored on right fielder Jose Cardinale's throwing error. Then singled home Miller.
The Royals still lead Texas by 17½ games and lead third place Oakland by 18%. Kansas City has 23 games left to play. Texas has 24, Oakland 22.
In the other American League pennant nash, Baltimore closed to within three games of the East division-leading New York Yankees with a 2-0 victory over Detroit. The Yankees, meanwhile, lost to Toronto, 6-4.
The victory was the Orioles third in two days, during which time they have been undefeated.
OU Ducks waddle on
By TAMARA SWENSON Oregon Daily Emerald Sports Editor
EUGENE, Ore.—Oregon fans have heard more about scandals, penalties and indictments in the past month than they have about Oregon Duck football.
Then there are the penalties.
Eight players have been indicted by a Lane County grand jury for charges ranging from telephone credit card fraud to shooting another football players who have transferred to other universities also have been named in indictments.
THE PACIFIC Ten Conference has ruled the Ducks and four other universities—Southern Cal, UCLA, Arizona State and Oregon State—ineligible for post-season play. The Pac-10 also placed Oregon's athletic program on two years of probation, took away three football scholarships for next year and ruled that the Ducks must forfeit any victories in which ineligible players participated during Coach Rich Brooks' reign.
A variety of penalties also were imposed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, including a one-time first-year starting quarterback Reggie Ogburn.

WHAT HAPPENS this Saturday will be important for the morale of the Oregon football team. After a 35-25 loss to Stanford in the season opener, the Ducks, 6-5 last year, have been working to correct their mistakes and prepare for Kansas. The Jayhawks open their season Saturday in Eugene.
"Playing an early first game was better than if we had been idle," Brooks said. "We can correct our mistakes. Players don't know what theirs are yet."

statusually, the two teams (Oregon and Stanford) were almost identical," Brooks said. "This weekend, I think you will see us run the option more. Reggie Obgnan has great running ability. I also know pass options will be exercised more."
