Comments by Parrish overlooked by 'Hawks
By ANNE LUSCOMBE Sports writer
The age-old rivalry between Kansas and Kansas State was in peril until Kansas Head state coach Stan Parrish began his revival mission.
Parrish has pronounced Saturday's game as the most important Wildcat game of the season, simply because it's against Kansas.
"What are the names of the two schools — Kansas and Kansas State — right there is enough for the rivalry," Parrish said yesterday. "I want to be the same name as a real plus. It stirs up the fast interest and gets the players going."
The emphasis Parrish has put on the game has not been endorsed by Karan.
"It's a big game and everybody's got to be up for it," defensive end Phil Forte said. "But they are saying that winning this will make their whole season. We have to treat it like any other game and try to win it."
The fact that it is Kansas State won't go unnoticed. Winning the game will mean winning what the backer Randolph calls "bragging rights."
"For those guys (Kansas State),
this is their whole season," Randolph said.
"They are putting their eggs all in one basket. It will be nice to win it, though, especially for the guys from the house because it gives them bragging rights."
Kansas leads the series against the Wildcats 56-23-4. Last year the Jayhawks defeated Kansas State 38-7 in Lawrence. However, it was a different story in 1984, when the Jayhawks were upset 24-7.
Kansas will have two obstacles to overcome Saturday — its rival and its first away game.
"We're definitely firstly, offensive guard Steve Nave said. "It will be a change of pace but it will be our stealth." He climbed on the home turf with five games here.
Decisions on inconsistent kicking game flusters players
"We be booed by our own fans, so that it's different nothing." Nave said.

Besides the 1-4 Wildcat team, Kansas will encounter the rowdy Wildcat faas
By BRIAN SNYDER
"No one has to tell the three KU football place- kickers that the team's kicking game hasn't been spectacular.
(Sophomore Chase van Dyne, who is receiving up to three hours of treatment a day for a back injury, had the ditties untied when he became injured.
But behind the unimpressive numbers are the sagging confidence and the confusion of the kickers competing against each other.
All freshmen Mac Smith and Louis Kelp have to do is look at the numbers they have compiled. They are two-for-seven on field goal attempts and nine-of-ten on point after touchdown tries.
'An emotionally drained and visibly worn out Smith said his confidence had been hurt by the personnel changes made at the field goal and extra point positions.
At the beginning of the year, Smith had beaten van Dyne for the job. But before the Iowa State game Saturday, Klemp was named to replace Smith.
"It hurts my confidence that they would make those changes." Smith said Wednesday night outside the team's locker room at Parrott Athletic Center. "All I can say is that I'm extremely disappointed."
Van Dyne and Klemp said Wednesday that the decision-making process for deciding on the starting kickers was not conducive to the proper state of mental preparation that kickers must have.
Both agreed that good kicking
More than once this year, and most recently before the Iowa State game, head coach Bob Valesente informed the players just before game time who would be kicking. Van Dyne and Klemp said kickers needed more time than that to mentally prepare themselves to kick in the games.
depended on the level of confidence a kicker had and the readiness of the kicker to perform his job.
Valesente would not comment on his decision-making process with the kickers or whether the practice would continue.
Tomorrow against Kansas State, Klemp will kick extra points and field goals and Smith will kick off.
Tight ends and special teams coach Joe Pannunzio said Valesente's manner of decision-making was helping the kickers.
"With them being so young, it takes the pressure off of them," Pantanuno said yesterday. "Not letting you know is benefiting them, I think."
Pamunzio also said the changes at the kicking positions were made because the coaches were looking for productivity from the kickers. He said the coaches would be crazy if they didn't start the player who was most productive at any one time.
Confusion is another emotion apparent in at least one kicker, van Dyne. He said he wasn't sure what the coaches were looking for in the kickers.
"Coach Pannunzio is not pleased with the kickoffs," van Dyne said. "I asked Coach what was wrong with the stats."
Van Dyne said that, on the average, his kickoffs were traveling inside the one-ward line.
"I told him that there was nothing wrong with the kickoffs. I really don't know what he wants," van Dyne said.
Pamunzio said both Smith and van Dyne knew what the coaches expected — high and deep kickoffs so the coverage could be effective.
Although all three kickers said they had deep respect for Valesente and thought he was a fair man, two of the three said they had mixed feelings about whether or not they had been given enough chances to prove themselves.
"In some instances yes and in some instances no." van Dyne said. "Coaches have to do what coaches have to do, contrary to what other people think. There's always somebody there to take over. I should know."
Saint said that in practice, he was given a fair chance to prove himself.
As far as games are concerned, Smith, who is officially one-for-six on field goal attempts, said he considered his field goal record to be one for three. He does not count the two blocked kicks and the one kick attempted during adverse weather conditions in his total.
The difference between making one-of-three field goals and making one-of-five field goals.
He did say that coaches had to do what they thought was best for the team
"I could use the fact that I'm a freshman as an excuse but I won't."
Smith said. "I need more work, to kick more at practice."
Klemp, a walk-on, said he had no problems with the way he had been
"I'm a walk on just trying to help the team," he said. "I have nothing to lose. I just want to get the second game under my belt. They will give you more than just one shot."
Although Valesente said he would have to see what the trainer said about van Dyne's ability to go full throttle on her race, he had told Valesente he was ready.
If van Dyne is healthy next week at practice, three players will once again be competing for the kicking positions in what van Dyne said would be an interesting situation.
"The next game is a road game (at Oklahoma State Oct. 25) and they (the coaches) won't travel three kickers," van Dyne said. "Most teams don't travel two. Next week is going to be interesting."
Red Sox, Mets set for Series after emotion-filled playoffs
United Press International
NEW YORK — The World Series,
baseball's showcase event, begins
tomorrow night with a matchup that
should delight the romanticists.
However, the best-of-seven Series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets, though touching to the heart, may have a difficult time tugging at it in similar manner to the recently concluded American and National League championship series.
Both teams are coming off physically and emotionally draining playoffs, and a letdown can be expected. It is very difficult to maintain that kind of intensity over a long period of time.
The result may be a World Series that is easy to swallow yet hard to digest.
"I'm ready to face a Roger Clemens because he can't pitch better than these guys (the Astros)'," said New York's Ray Knight on Wednesday, after his team's tension-filled six-game victory over the Astros in the NL playoffs. "We won't face anybody as good as this team."
seven games. The Mets haven't been to the World Series since 1973 when they lost to the Oakland A's in seven games.
Neither team has been to a World Series in more than a decade. Boston last appeared in the World Series in 1975, losing to the Cincinnati Reds in
Boston hasn't won a World Series since 1918; the Mets' only world championship came in 1969.
their resources to win their respective league playoffs, neither team will have its best pitcher available for the opener.
World Series Preview
Boston's ace, Roger Clemens, pitched the pennant-clinching game Wednesday night against the California Angels and won't be available to pitch in the World Series until Game 3 at Boston.
Because both teams needed all
Dwight Gooden, the Mets' No. 1 pitcher, went 10 innings against the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the NL playoffs Tuesday and will not be ready to go until Game 2 at Shea Stadium.
So, left-hander Bruce Hurst of the Red Sox and right-hander Ron Darling of the Mets will be the starting pitchers in the opening game.
In fact, unless there are some postponements because of the weather, Clemens and Gooden are
not likely to face each other during the Series
A new rule will be in effect this year regarding the designated hitter and it will hurt the Red Sox. In previous years the designated hitter, which is used during the regular season in the AL but not in the NL, was implemented only in alternate World Series. Under that rule it would be in use this year.
However, commissioner Peter Ueberberh modified the rule this year, and the designated hitter will be allowed only when the Series switches to the AL park. Therefore, the Red Sox will get only limited use out of the designated hitter, Don Baylor, one of the team's leading run producers.
Baylor could see some action at Shea Stadium if first baseman Bill Buckner is unable to play. Buckner suffered a strained right Achilles' tendon beating an out infield hit in Game 7 and has been hampered by leg injuries all season.
With the exception of former Met Calvin Sireihaird, the Red Sox bullpen is suspect. Bob Stanley was hit hard by the Angels during the AL playoffs, and left-hander Joe Samito was ineffective during the second half of the season and pitched only two-thirds of an inning in the AL playoffs.
Ski team heads to nationals

Even though the temperature of some area lakes has dropped to below 65 degrees, some KU water skiers are still braving the chilly waters.
The traveling team from the MoKan Ski Club practiced until yesterday to prepare for the National Waterski Championships to be tomorrow and Sunday in Zachary, La.
The traveling team, which has qualified for the national championships six of the last seven years, is made up of 12 KU students who are members of the Mo-Kan club.
Despite finishing second at the regional championships in Decatur, Ill., three weeks ago, most of the skiers don't expect to finish among the top five teams, but they will have fun trying.
"Our chances aren't very good; we probably won't place above sixth," said Vic Mosby, a trick and slalom skier. "There will be teams there from Florida and Texas where they are able to ski all year."
The Kansas ski season runs from late April to October.
In addition to the limited ski season, finances are another problem for the KU team. Mosby said many teams at the national championships are sponsored by universities. The Kansas ski team is not affiliated with the University.
"The teams we'll be up against are incredibly well funded," said Laura Bulgen, a trickster. "We've got to do things, nothing. We just excited to go."
Steve Outlaw, a trick, jump and slam skipper, said. "We just want to go down and have a good time. Everyone wants to do their best."
Beth Castle, a ski jumper, said,
"We have a stronger team this year. Everyone has worked together and improved.
"We compete as a team, but we have to compete against each other to stay on the team."
Chiefs players likely to pay fines
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City Chiefs spokesman said yesterday that he doubted whether any of the eight players fined for their part in two brawls during a game against the Los Angeles Raiders would appeal their fines.
"As far as I know, none of them are planning to appeal, but it would be up to the individual," said Gary Heise; a team spokesman.
The Kansas City Times reported
NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle on Wednesday fined the eight Chiefs a total of $4,200. Chiefs head coach John Mackovic also was fine.
A spokesman for Rozelle declined to give details of the fines, saying the league's policy was not to announce monetary penalties. He did confirm that the eight Kansas City players had been financed a total of $4,200 and 10 Raiders players had been fined a total of $6,000.
yesterday that the Chiefs players fined were Brad Budde, $1.000; Irv Eatman, $800; Mark Adickes, Todd Blackledge, Paul Coffman, David Lutz, Rich Baldinger and Kevin Ross, all $400.
The newspaper said the Raiders players fined were Howie Long, $2,000; Van McElroy, $800; and Sean Jones, Mike Haynes, Sam Seale, Matt Millen, Rod Martin, Todd Christensen, Stacey Toran and James Davis, all $400.
