New red and blue uniforms and an awakened offensive attack premiered in the club's second Kansas City Hockey Association game against Enders.
OVERLAND PARK — Last night was a night of "firsts" for the KU Hockey Club.

Greg Lederer, the team captain,
was pleased with the team's play in
comparing last night's game to the
first game Nov. 11.
Shut out in their first game, the Jayhawks went scoreless for almost 19 minutes of the first period before defenseman Kevin Tobin scored the first Kansas goal of the year.
Even with improved play, though. Kansas lost 5-4. The club's record is now 0-2.
Most of the action in the first period occurred on KU's part of the ice. The Jayhawks appeared sluggish until Tobin's goal.
The second period proved to be fatal. The Jayhawks skated better, but three Enderes goals and several missed break-away opportunities frustrated their efforts. The three
The Jayhawks skated from behind all night. They fell behind 40 seconds into the game when a deflected slap shot got past KU goalie Steve O'Hollearn.
A few near-fights at the end of the second period prompted the referees to warn the teams' captains to have their players control their tempers.
The third period was controlled by Kansas after Enderes took a 2-2 lead with 7 minutes, 15 seconds remaining in the game.
Enderes got into penalty trouble with 4:11 remaining. Kansas had a two-man advantage when forward Craig Sherman got an assist from Kevin Tobin and scored the first of two third-period goals for L.e. Jayhawks.
Lederer said that ever since Kansas' first game, where tempers had flared, the league's officials were keeping an eye on the Jayhawks.
The final goal came on a Kansas power play with 20 seconds remaining when defenseman Brian Farrell made the score 5-4. After the goal, Kansas pulled its goalie.
goats gave Enderes a 4-2 lead after two periods.
This is usually done by the losing team at the end of the game. The Jayhawks had a man advantage on the offensive end, but the Kansas goal was unprotected. Neither team scored in the final seconds.
"We had practice this week and we're getting a feeling for playing together," Tobin said after the game.
Tobin, who had three points on the night (1 goal and two assists), said that the team put up a much better effort than in its first game.

Washington defeats 49ers despite Montana's passing
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Gary Clark and George Rogers scored touchdowns last night, helping the Washington Redskins withstand a career high 414-yard passing performance by Joe Montana and record a 14-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Montana, making this second start since returning from major back surgery, became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 400-plus yards and not have his team score a touchdown.
The Redskins improved to 9-2 and moved into a tie with the New York Giants for first place in the NFC East, two games ahead of the
Dallas Cowbies. The 49ers drop to 6-4-1, a half-game behind the 7-4 Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West.
Rogers rushed for 104 yards on 24 carries, including a 1-yard first-quarter score.
Washington quarterback Jay Schroeder completed 17 of 40 passes for 170 yards, including a 27-yard score to Clark, and was intercepted twice in a game that lasted 3 hours and 53 minutes.
Montana's previous career best was 429 yards, on Oct. 6, 1985. It also was Montana's third career win that year; he was intercepted three times.
Washington led 7-0 after the first quarter, capitalizing on a fumble
by Montana on San Francisco's first possession.
Dexter Manley chanced Montana out of the pocket and stripped the ball from behind, and Rich Milch recovered at the Redskins' 33-yard line. Schroeder then completed a pass to Trey Burks for yards to Art Monk to move the Redskins to the 94ers' 1 yard line. Rogers took it in from there.
San Francisco wide receiver Mike Wilson was carried off the field on a stretcher with 9:20 left in the second quarter after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Washington's Steve Hamilton on punt coverage.
Wilson lay motionless on the field for more than 10 minutes.
Missouri game to end seniors' football careers
Missouri 15 Jayhawks to take field for last time
Kansas strong safety Jamey Steinhauser is one of 15 players who will play their final collegiate game Saturday against Missouri.

The countdown has begun. As each day passes, the 15 seniors on the Kansas football team encounter another "last."
Yesterday was the last Monday practice. Saturday they will meet Missouri in what will be their last collegiate game.
"It's going to be strange in the locker room after the Missouri game because I might never play football again." free safety Wayne Ziegler said yesterday. Ziegler is second on the team with 85 tackles, 55 massisted.
"This could be it."
The memories vary for the senior players as they look back over the last four or five years. For those who were redshirted one year, there have been three head coaches and four losing seasons.
Center Paul Oswald said, "In high school, I went through three coaches, too. There are a lot of things that have haunted me here — our record and coaches. I've never been on one of those 'good teams.'"
Until he became a Jayhawk, Yarnell, of Topeka, had never seen the ocean, had flown only once and had only dreamed about the states he would later visit as a player. He said he had never regretted his choice to come to Kansas.
Looking back over their Kansas careers, most of the seniors recall a special game or the friends they have made, but defensive tackle Lyndall Yarnell remembers the traveling most fondly.
"I'm glad I made the choice to come here even though our record hasn't been the best," he said. "I just wish I could have come here and had Coach Valesente when I was a freshman."
The team goes to its final game Saturday with a 3-7 record and is winless in the Big Eight Conference.
"It's hard to measure ac-complishments with a win-loss record like ours." Oswald said. "The thing to look at is personal accomplishments and how much you've enjoyed playing."
Five of the team's top 13 tacklers are seniors. Offensively, sen马克 Henderson is second in number of touchdowns and third in rushing.
"When they leave, there will be a lot of big shoes to be filled," said head coach Bob Valesente. "I'm happy for them, but it really takes away from the program. I'll be really sad to see them leave. I think the Univer-
Seven Kansas starters are seniors, and two other seniors have held starting positions at different times this season.
ity of Kansas should be proud of these people."
The 15 players in their final season are fullbacks Dave Cohn and Mark Henderson, wide receivers Sal Lewis and Tom Quick, offensive guards Steve Nave and Pete Popovich, center Oswald, tight end Jeff Anderson, safeeties Ziegler and Kevin Harder, strong safety Jamey
The seniors said they expected the football program to improve in the future.
Steinhauser, defensive tackles Yarnell and Guy Gamble, linebacker John Randolph and defensive end Phil Forte.
“Coach Val has been all-an-air coach.” Oswald said. “He’s the kind of guy that will deal with his problems and yours at the same time. If he is given time and opportunity, Val could build a winning program here, and that comes from a guy who’s seen a lot of different coaches.”
"There will be good football here in years to come." Yarnell said.
Oswald said Valesente had helped him and would help those coming into the program.
Although the victories have been few, a couple of games stand out for most of the seniors.
"I'm sure for the seniors, the highlight will be beating Oklahoma two years ago," said Forte. "That's something you can tell your kids when you're watching football with them."
Quick mentioned his three highlights during his years as a Javhawk.
"Mine are beating Oklahoma, never letting Missouri beat us, and the last highlight, which could also be a lowlight, was rooming with Forte," Quick said. He and Forte were roommates with Ziegler their freshman year.
The list of lasts continues to grow each day, a strange phenomenon for the players who never thought about it all coming to an end.
"Looking back now, I don't think about how there is only one game left," Ziegler said. "I don't know what it's going to be like when I'm done. I see myself really getting bored."
Quick, from Lee's Summit, Mo., said he had always hoped his last game be against Missouri. But when the game is over, the realization that he is through as a football player will hit.
"It's going to be weird taking the pads off," he said. "I know I will never put my pads back on. I keep thinking, 'I'll never play for KU again.'"
