Cheering fans 'psvched up' Mike Lemon's defense
By DUFF LEWIS Sports Reporter
Webster's dictionary doesn't list the term "psyched up," although it does list other appropriate words for describing Mike against last Saturday against Texas A&M.
None of these other words, however, can convey the "psyched up" feeling Mike Laird gave Kansas demolished the psyched up. Aug'14, in front of more than 35,000 cheering fans.
"I just had a good game," Lemon said. "I was one out of many a million that you got."
For his play in the game, Lemon was named the Big Eight Defensive Player of the season and time Lemon has received the award. He was a year for his performance against Colorado.
Prior to the game against the Aggies, the A&M center called Lemon a "hot dog" Centers and nose guards are always at odds during a game, but the remark might have touched off Lemon's personal demolition course that afternoon.
"I was kind of scared when I went into the game," Lemon said, "because they were the first three or four plays I thought I had played (the Aglie center) and I was confident."
Then the "psyched up" Lemon went into action.
"All of a sudden we started shoving them down, bam, bam, bam." Lemon said. "They couldn't run on us and that prayed me up, and then we held them and held them, and then we scored on them and that prayed me up, and then the fans, the fans!
"Thirty-five thousand people at the game Saturday intrigued me so much with their yelling and screaming. There's never been a crowd like that that I've ever heard. Even with seventy-six thousand people at Nebraska I could still hear the offense's censure. I couldn't hear it Saturday. That's why we are here every day, people in the crowd. We're more entertained. We like to entertain people, especially who want to see us play."
Those who wanted to see the Jayhawks
play Saturday saw Lemon and the Kansas defense maul the awesome Aggie offense that had earned the nation's fifth ranking prior to the game.
"During the whole game I didn't think that they were fifth, I didn't even know that they were Texas. I was just playing a game. The harder I played, the better I felt. I played so doggedly long . . . it took me until Sunday night to come down, because my team had been really good. I was totally exhausted, I was sure, like every other football player." Lemon said.

The unfortunate Aggie center, along with the
unfavorable M team, suffered from
Lemmon's shoulder.
"I don't go on the field saying, 'Hey, I'm going to hurt that person, I'm going to try to move it up and want to start playing dirty, I play dirty, but it's up to him, I'm not a dirty player."
Lemon also praised his coaches, George Bernardhart, Jim Dickes and head coach Don Clement.
"When I play, I play for the coaches, the team, and the people in the stands. I try to do my very best because I don't want to let anybody down," Lemon said. "Especially now, I'm not letting my coach down, then I won't," the fans down or my fellow teammates."
The coaches, fans and teammates have more to look forward to this season. Lemon said.
"I'm looking forward to winning every game this season, God willing," he said, "and I'm excited that I can win all of the year, to please the state of Kansas, the people who believe in the state of Kansas. We want people to believe in us, and the year Kansas is going to do something."

BALTIMORE—The Oakland A's, who scored the winning run on the only hit they get, a ninth-inning Baltimore rally yesterday and their way into the 1974 World Series with a 24 victory over the punchless Orioles.

Dodgers take NL with 2-run homers
FROM the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—Steve Garvey backed Don Sutton's masterful pitching with a pair of Los Angeles Dodgers'ayers. Dodgers yesters capture the National League pennant and set up the all-California World Series.
The trumpet gave the explosive Dodgers the league championship 3-1 in the best-of-five series, the same margin the Oakland Cubs won over the Orioles in Baltimore yesterday.
the a's managed only one hit all day, and they didn't get that one until the seventh inning, when Reggie Jackson banged a double off the left field wall, just over the reach of Don Baylor. It scored Sali Bando with what turned out to be the winning run.
Los Angeles and Oakland open the world championship best-of-seven series in Chicago.
The A's first run came courtesy of Mike Cuellar's wildness. It was scored on four walks with two outs in the fifth innings, when Cuellar was lifted from the game without ever giving the A's anything resembling a base hit.
Garvey's homers came on consecutive plate appearances in the third and fifth innings, and both times the former Michigan State star had Jimmy Wynn on first base. Garvey also singled twice, scoring both times.
The Orioles broke a 30-inning scorele
string in their last bats of the season,
scoring Paul Blair on Boog Powell's clean
single to center.

"William Jewell had a good team with a lot of young players." Markert said
Nancy Lambros, scored twice in the first half. The other Kansas points came in the second half, one from Alexis Wagner and two from Marie Fuast.
