World Series' final game postponed until today
Boston tags Hurst as Game 7 pitcher

NEW YORK—The Boston Red Sox last night changed their pitching plans for their World Series

showdownt against the New York Mets, naming Bruce Hurst to replace Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd as the starter for Game 7.
Manager John McNamara, taking advantage of an extra day's rest for Hurst as a result of yesterday's rainout, will send his star left hander to the round tonight as the Red Sox first championship in 68 years.
Boston public relations director
Dick Bresciani confirmed
McNamara's decision late last night.
McNandair's deacons are in accord with a source close to the club. McNamara informed Boyd of his decision about 9 p.m. after conferring with pitching coach Bill Fischer. Boyd was said to be extremely upset and had to be consolled in the lobby of the team's Manhattan hotel by pitcher Al Nipper, one of his closest friends in the club.
Boyd, the losing pitcher in Game 3 at Fenway Park, was set to start the final game of the 1986 season. But the rain delay gave Hurst a third day of rest, and he will face right-handed pitcher Ron Darling of the Mets, who lost Game 1 and won Game 4.
Hurst has dominated the Mets in his two Series starts. He blanked New York 1-0 in Game 1 and shut out Kansas in innings of a 4-2 victory in Game 5.
Sox buoyed by calls from fans, players
NEW YORK — On the day after one of the Boston Red Sox most searing defeats, Manager John McNamara felt it would be wise to monitor the phone calls in his hotel room.
United Press International
McNamara, who had a sleepless night, thought he would be fielding calls from irate Red Sox fans, who again saw their star-crossed club fall just short of a World Series crown.
The American League champions had failed to hold a 5-3 lead in the 10th inning and lost 6-5 to the New York Mets to force a decisive Game 7. McNamara, to force, was wrong.
"I got a lot of nice calls from all over the country," he said yesterday at a news conference after Game 7 was rained out and rescheduled for
tonight, "I got two that were not very nice, but I let my son Michael handle those. Michael is a Marine and knows how to deal with stuff like that."
One call McNamara did deal with came from California Angels slugger Reggie Jackson, who also spoke with Boston players Don Baylor and Bill Buckner, who allowed the winning run to score Saturday night with an error on a routine grounder.
Hurst will pitch on three days rest for the second time this year. He started Game 5 of the American League playoffs against California and did not receive a decision in the 7-6 victory which swung the series in favor of the Red Sox.
Jackson should know about tough losses. His Angels were one strike from eliminating the Red Sox in Game 5 of the American League playoffs, but Baylor and Dave Henderson homed in the ninth, and Boston went on to win the game and eventually earn a trio to the Series.
"Reggie said it was a tough loss, just like he
For Boyd, it marked the second major setback this year over a managerial decision. Despite an 11-6 record midway through the season, he was passed over for a spot on the AL All-Star squad.
went through in California," said McNamara, who managed Jackson in the minor leagues. "He said you just have to pick it up and go after it."
"He explained to me how the Angels fell after Game 5 of the playoffs," said Baylor, a longtime friend of Jackson's. "He told me just don't let the guys get down. It's easy at that point to sit back and not take it to them. We're not going to sit back and just be a spectator. He told Buck that what happened last night was just part of the game."
That Red Sox victory in the playoffs came one day after Boston dropped Game 4, losing a 3-0 lead in the ninth with Roger Clemens on the mound.
The 27-year-old right-hander threw
a clubhouse tarmur upon learning of the news. He was suspended from the Red Sox and later hospitalized for psychological tests before returning to the team in early August.

Soccer club ties intimidating KC team
By ANNE LUSCOMBE
Intimidation was a factor in the Kansas men's soccer club game yesterday afternoon at Memorial Stadium when the KU team faced Busch United, an area team from Kansas City, Mo.

former Wichita Wings players, stood out as leaders of the opposing team.
"They pulled all the stunts a proteam would," said Ted Nelson, junior center half and KU team captain. "It was all just play games. They showed up late, asked for extra time to warm up, and joked around on the field. They were trying to keep us below their degree. I think they were surprised by the score, too."
Busch dominated the first half. The first goal was a corner kick by Jim Dusolw. Near the end of the half, Kirk Fewdry put in another making the score 2-0.
"It was really scary out there," coach Glen Shirltey said. "They were passing without being challenged."

"We popped two in and came alive," Nelson said. "We used this game as a test. This game proved we could come out of our shell. We felt demoralized after losing to K.State."
"I think we were intimidated the first half because we were in awe of them." Shirtlite said. "At halftime we had a good talk. Tony Vincent (junior center halfback) told the guys that at best we were playing like Bambis. During the second half we played like we were capable of playing."

to be easier than we were. I think this will do a lot for us. The last two losses had the guys doubting themselves."
Kansas had been scheduled to play Central Missouri State yesterday but the game was cancelled.
"We knew we could beat CMSU."
Nelson said. "We already had before. That's why we cancelled the game. Here we had to play aggressive. Next week we will have to go out again and play with the same intensity."

Kansas City victory tightens AFC West
KANSAS CITY. Mo — John Mackovic is off to the best start of his NFL coaching career, getting it the kind of victory he likes the best.
Mackovic's Kansas City Chiefs handed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a 27-20 loss yesterday. It was Tampa

Kansas City, however, improved to 5-3 and needs just one more victory this season to match its win total for all of 1985. The team effort satisfied Mackovic even more.
Bay's five straight loss as the Bucs fell to 1-7.
"Well, it's the best start we've had in four years, so we are very happy about that," Mackovic said.
"You add all those things together, the offense making some big plays, too, and it adds up to that type of game. That's really when we play our best, when all parts of the team chip in and do something."
Tampa Bay head coach Leeman Bennett had attempted to shake up his team with a series of cuts of veteran players last week. The Bucaneers responded with a good effort but fell short.
"We got beat by a pretty good football team out there today," Bennett said. "We couldn't get them. We couldn't move the ball when we needed to. We moved the ball better, but we didn't get what we needed."
Mike Pratt scored the game's first touchdown, but the Chiefs had to come back in the second half after the Buccaneers had taken a 13-7 lead. Kansas City scored often, but was not able to shake the Bues.

yard tire on the next play. Smith left belt but angled back to the middle of the field. He weaved through the secondary, finally falling just into the end zone with two tacklers at his legs.
Art Still sealed the victory for Kansas City by sacking Tampa quarterback Steve Young for an 11-yard loss. It was a win. It was. It was Stiff's third pack of the day.
Nick Lowery kicked a 20-yard field goal and Stephone Paige made an easy catch of a Kenney pass for a 3-yard score in the third period, enabling the Chiefs to take a 20-13 lead into the final period.
But James Wilder, who rushed for 110 yards, keyed a penalty-filled drive that tied the game at 20-20. Wilder rushed for 26 yards in the drive — including the final 3 yards for the score — as Tampa overcame 15 yards in penalties. The Chiefs were assessed 31 yards in penalties, including a 21-yard interference call just before Wilder's score run.
Tampa Bay, which scored on the opening possession of the game, converted a pair of turnovers into a 13-10 halftime lead.

KU women overpower competition in swim meet
By BRIAN SNYDER
Sports writer
In its first meet of the year, the Kansas women's swim team dominated the Early Ram Invitational in Fort Collins, Colo., and the numbers prove it.
The Jayhawks broke 15 meet records, won 16 events and finished

*events.*
Head coach Gary Kempf was pleased yesterday with the condition of the team. He said that competing at 5,000 feet above sea level was difficult but the women responded well. Freshman Susan Bloomfield said yesterday that she could feel the difference in the air but it affected the long distance swimmers the most.
The women scored 692 points in a row over five other teams. The second place team, Colorado State, finished with 556 points.
Bloomfield was one of the women Kemp said he was pleased with. She took first place in the 50-meter backstroke, breaking a meet record. She was second in the 100-meter individual medley and backstroke, breaking records in those events. She also finished third in the
200-meter backstroke.
Kempi said that because Bloomfield was a freshman, he perfor- mented the training.
Julie Pierce and Lori Spurrey dominated the 1- and 3-meter diving events. Pierce, a freshman, qualified for the Zone D National Collegeiate Athletic Association championships in both events and Spurrey, a junior, did the same in 3-meter diving. Kempf gave credit for the divers' success to diving coach Barry Susterka.
"My turns were terrible," Bloomfield said. "I was a little nervous but not expecting my best times. I was really psyched."
Sophomores Susan Spry and Erin Easton were also top performers, Kempf said.
The divers' performances added to the Kansas victory, too.
The other team scores were Texas Christian, 354; Wyoming, 249; Utah, 99; and Northern Colorado, 37.
The meet was the first competition for the men and first before the Big Eight Invitational Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in Ames, Iowa.
For the Kansas men's team, a humid, steamy Robinson Center Natatorium was the site Friday night of the team intrasquad meet.
Assistant coach Brad Wells said
that the intrasquad was important because it accomplished several things for the team.
"The intrasquid helps us because it kicks off the competition again."
The Jayhawks broke 15 meet records, won 16 events and finished first, second or third in 22 of 24 events.
Wells said. "This gives them the idea that its time to get out and race. They've been looking forward to it. I think that this has woken up a few of the swimmers."
Karl Stumpf, senior co-captain, agreed with Wells that it was important for the men to get their feet wet by competing after a three-month layoff for most of the swimmers. Stumpf also said that it was a good way to see where the team was before the Big Eight Invitational.
"We can't go into the Big Eight Invitational without first competing." Stumpd said. "You'll see people
struggle now, but our goal is to keep progressing. We don't expect big jumps but a slow improvement."
Stumpt was not happy with his performances Friday night. He called it horrible. A slight grin pull has been bothering him but he said that he hoped to be ready for this weekend's meet.
Stumpf and Wells said that they did see some impressive performances. Stumpf said that junior Dave Nesmith's 200-meter butterfly was good. Nesmith recorded a time of 1 minute, 56.62 seconds in the event. Co-captain and senior Chris McCool also looked good. Stumpf said, and that was good news for the team.
Wells was pleased with junior Chuck Jones 500-meter freestyle (4:43.45) and sophomore Glenn Trammel's times in the 100- and 200-meter backstroke (:53.14 and 1:55.60).
The first place finishers for Kansas at the Early Ram
