Relay false start costs KU victory
By BRIAN SNYDER
In a swim meet in which the Kansas men's team pushed 17th-ranked Southern Methodist to the wall, a KU disqualification in the first event kept the Jayhawks from pulling off the upset.
The Mustangs won the meet 62-51 last night in Robinson Natatorium.
Meet officials said Grant Seavail, who swam the third leg of the 400-meter medley relay, had a first start. Seavail's relay team took first place in the event and then was disqualified.
There was a 14-point difference between first place and last place in the tournament.
"It was a judgment call and the of-
ficial's job is to make those calls."
"I hate to lose it that way," said disappointed KU head coach Gary Kempf after the meet. "We competed with them well and got great team leadership.
The Jayhawks performed well, winning seven of 13 events.
Glenn Trammel, who won the 200-meter backstroke and individual medley, said he didn't think Seavall false started, but the KU swimmers couldn't let it affect them.
"We scared them," Trammel said.
"A few things didn't fall right. We swim the best teams so we can get better and we will get better. The team's attitude is great and we're looking good going into the Husker Invitational (Dec. 5)."
Dave Nesmith, who won both the 200-meter butterfly and breaststroke, said he was pleased with the team's performance. But before the
Jayhawks could break into the Top 20. Nesmith said, swimmers would have to swim their best times consistently.
Last night's meet was the best meet for the men, Chris McCool said. He said the Mustangs didn't swim like a 17th-ranked team.
The Mustang's Scott Donie dominated the diving events, winning both the 1-meter and 3-meter competition.
"They (the SMU diving team) were as good as I had expected." KU diveing coach Barry Susterka said. "They are young and strong. We competed with them on the low board (1-meter) but they outclassed us on the high board (3-meter)."
The first-place finishers at the meet were:
1,000-meter freestyle; Danny Goodwin. SMU 9:39:22
200-meter freestyle; Chris Cook.
KU 1:45.08
50-meter freestyle; Todd Pace.

Allen's TD gives win to Raiders
United Press International
SAN DIEGO — Marecus Allen ran 28 yards for a touchdown with 6:27 left in overtime, giving the Los Angeles Raiders a 37-31 victory last night over the San Diego Chargers.
On the second and-10, the Raiders were looking to improve their field-goal position, but Allen slipped past the line of scrimmage and cut outside to outrace a group of San Diego defenders. Two Chargers tackled Allen, but he fell just over the goal line for the winning points.
After a San Diego punt, the Raiders took over at their own 44 with 8-29 left in the extra period. After a holding penalty against Allen, Raiders quarterback Jim Plunkett hit Todd Christensen for 28 yards on the second-and 20 from the 34. Allen ran 10 yards to the 28. After an incompletion in the end zone, Allen ran for the winning touchdown.
Mark Herrmann's 16-yard pass to Charlie Joiner with 1:01 left completed a 21-point San Diego comeback and sent the game into overtime tied 31-31. Herrmann took the Chargers 66 yards in 2:18 after a 7-yard punt by Ray Guy.
Plunkten moved the Raiders 57 yards to a 34-yard Chris Bahr field-goal try with 0-07 left but the kick was blocked by Jeff Walker. Because the kick came on second down and the Raiders recovered, they lined up for a 48-yard try on third down. However, the officials ruled the clock should not have stopped and the quarter ended.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former Memphis State basketball head coach Dana Kirk was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on 11 counts alleging tax evasion, filing false income tax returns, mail fraud and obstruction of justice.
Mirk, who was fired from his job at Memorial State on Sept. 17, had helped make the school a national basketball power before his legal troubles began.
Kirk appeared about an hour after his indictment before U.S.
magistrate Aaron Brown, who freed Kirk without bond and told him to appear for arraignment Wednesday.
The indictment alleged that Kirk underreported his income in 1982 and 1983, and that, in joint income tax filings with his wife, he either failed to report income from summer basketball camps or underreported that income.
The grand jury returned indictments on two counts of tax evasion, four counts of submitting false returns, two counts of mail fraud and three counts of obstruction of justice.
KU to face K-State in opening round

The Kansas volleyball team will open the first round of the Big Eight Conference post-season tournament with a match against Kansas State

they tied for third.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are the defending Big Eight champions. They have won the tournament 10 years in a row.
"Kansas State may be a tougher team to play now because they know our weaknesses," she said Wednesday.
The Jayhawks tied for fifth place in the conference last year. Their best conference finish was in 1978 when
Although Kansas has beaten K-State four times, Kansas head coach Frankie Albitz said that the Wildcats would still be tough opponents.
Kansas is ranked third in the conference with an overall record of 25-8 and 5-1 in Big Eight play. Four of the Jayhawks' wins and only one loss have been against the Wildcats this season.
Kansas State has an overall record of 12-16 and is ranked sixth in the conference with a record of 2-8.
"If we can hang in mentally we'll do all right."
Outside hitter Shannon Ridgeway said that the match against K-State would probably be the most challenging match of the tournament for the Javahaws.
"The first game will be tough because we're excited about the tournament," she said. "If we settle down and play like its any other tournament we'll be all right."
If Kansas can make it past the Wildcats, they will probably meet Oklahoma in the second round. Oklahoma, 14-16 overall, plays Colorado, 6-17 overall, in the first round.
Outside hitter Jodi Oelschlager
said the Jayhawks were in a good position for the conference tournament.
"We know a lot about K-State," she said, "and we know we can beat Oklahoma.
"If we get to the finals and we don't beat Nebraska, we'll give them the best game ever."
Jayhawk offensive leaders will be outside hitters Catalina Suarez, Ridgeway and Judy Desch.
Suarez tops the conference statistics with 62 service aces, an average of .539 per game. She is in tenth place in the conference in hitting percentages with .254 on a scale of .500.
Jayhawks look to end dismal year by beating Missouri

KU quarterback Kelly Donohoe and the Jayhawks will try to end their six-game losing streak tomorrow. The Jayhawks play the Missouri Tigers tomorrow.
By ANNE LUSCOMBE
At the beginning of the year, the Kansas football team was given shirts with "More than six in 86" printed on them. It was meant to signify victories, not the number of games in the Jayhawks' losing streak. However, if Kansas loses to Missouri tomorrow, that is exactly what it will mean.
Kansas is coming off the worst loss in its history, 70-9 to Nebraska. The Tigers suffered a record 77-20 loss to Oklahoma two weeks ago. Despite that, Missouri head coach Woody Widenhofer has been quoted in several papers as saying the Tigers
Wide receiver Tom Quick was antered by Widenhofer's prediction.
"I don't know how he can predict a score since they've only won two
"I was asked a question at the Quarterback Club and I said if we were healthy we would have a very high chance of winning." Widenhofer said.
games this year." Quick said. "Missouri has no respect for our program and the feeling is mutual."
Widenhofer said his statement was blown out of proportion.
Missouri has had a week off to recuperate from the Oklahoma loss, but a week of rest is not required.
"In our situation with the injuries and losing streak, it is important to finish strong," Kansas head coach Bob Valesen said.
"For us seniors, it's our last game and we haven't ever lost to them. We also haven't won a Big Eight game yet, and we don't like Missouri. Add all that up and it becomes a very important game," strong safety. Jamey Steinhauser said.
For 15 Kansas seniors, this is it.
Kansas has not lost to Missouri since 1982. Last year, the Jayhawks ended a four-game losing streak and completed the season at 6-6 overall and 2-5 in the Big Eight Conference with a 34-20 victory over Missouri. The Tigers finished the season 1-10.
Missouri won its season opener against Utah State and then defeated Kansas State for its only conference win. Kansas is winless in the Big Eight but has three victories in non-conference play.
"I think we're up for this one," linebacker Rick Bredesen said. "We didn't go in the tank. A lot of teams did, and we checked with it but we didn't do that."
The Nebraska beating still tingers in quarterback Kelly Donohoe's mind.
"I think the only carry-over from Nebraska to Missouri is anger." Donohoe said. "We want to look better for our fans and coaches. I feel a lot better playing Missouri than Nebraska."
The Jayhawks have not gone winless in conference play since 1978 when they finished 1-10 under head coach Bud Moore.
Valesiente said the Jayhawks threw away their 3-7 record for this game.
"This is a one game season for us, he said. "Our attitude is forget the past. This is a way to get the thought of the Nebraska game out of our minds. The players have worked so hard. The way the players are preparing themselves you would think they are having a six-game winning streak instead of a six-game losing streak."
