New York shuts down Astros, tying playoff series
United Press International
HOUSTON — The New York Mets, shut out in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, rebounded in Game 2 last night with the kind of敌reat attack that enabled them to win 108 games during the regular season.
Combining offense, defense and pitching, the Mets gave Houston something to ponder on the off-day trip to Shea Stadium, scoring a 5-1 victory over the Astros and tying the NLCS at one game apiece.
Wally Backman delivered two key singles, and left-hander Bobby Ojeda frustrated Houston with a 10 hit complete game.
"We knew we had to win, basically." Ojeda said. "We were a little nervous. But when we broke the ice, you could feel a sigh of relief.
"You could just feel a very positive momentum shift to us."
Backman ignited a two-run four inning and singled home one of three runs in the fifth and dissappointed a crowd of 44,391.
Ojeda stranded nine runners for the victory.
"We had enough hits, but we didn't get them at the right time." Houston Manager Hal Lanier said. "You also have to give credit to their pitcher Ojeda."
Gary Carter doubled home one run and Keith Hernandez tripled home two more for the Mets.
"We made some big plays at crucial times." Oieda said.
Rafael Santana started a double play and kept the Astros from developing a comeback in the ninth.
Nolan Ryan once again showed that his 93 mph fastball doesn't scare New York much. Ryan, who fell to 0-3 against the Mets this season, retired the first 10 batters but was hit hard over the next $1_{2}$ innings and took the loss.
"He threw the ball well velocity- wise," Lanier said. "He didn't get the ball where he wanted to."
When the Astros did finally produce a key hit, Phil Garner's RBI single in the seventh, it proved way too late.
"I thought Bobby Ojeda pitched a very gutty game," said New York Manager Dave Johnson.
Game 3 is scheduled tomorrow in Shea Stadium, with Houston's Bob Knepper opposing the Mets' Ron Darling.
The pattern of Game 1 — won 1-0 by Houston — persisted three innings into Game 2. The Astros failed to produce a clutch hit and the Mets failed to hit, period.
Ryan retired all nine batters, including Len Dykstra, who once again led off the game by bunting.
In the second inning, Houston was unable for the fourth time in the series to deliver a runner from third with less than two out.
With one out, Kevin Bass doubled and went to third when Cruz singled off Ojeda's glove. Ojeda then fielded Alan Ashby's checked-swing bouncer and tagged out Bass trying to score.
When Billy Hatcher singled with
one out in the third, it marked the first time in the series anyone in the top three spots for Houston hit safely. Hatcher, however, was doubled off first on a short pop to the outfield.
The Mets finally scored in the fourth, collecting two runs on three hits. Backman and Hernandez singled, and Carter lined a double off the right field wall for one run. Darryl Strawberry then lofted a sacrifice fly for a 2-1 lead.
The Astros responded with their now-familiar routine of coming close. Garner walked and, one out later, Bass singled to third. However, Jose Cruz struck out and Alan Ashby grounded out.
KU. ISU look for best start since '81
By ANNE LUSCOMBE
Sports writer.
For Kansas and Iowa State, the Big Eight Conference season begins tomorrow. But this match has turned into more than just another conference opener because the winning team will record its best start since 1981.
"For us, the Iowa State game will be like the Super Bowl," offensive guard Steve Nave said recently. "The glory of victory is always short-lived. We have a streak going now and we have to keep that going."
Jacki Kelly/KANSAN
Both teams are 3-1 after three consecutive victories. They also have many similarities on offense and defense.
KU quarterback Mike Orth and the rest of the Jayhawks will try to get up and over the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow in both teams. Big Eight Conference opponent. Kickoff for the homecoming game is 1:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
Jayhawk quarterback Mike Orth, the No.1 passer in the Big Eight this season, is rapidly climbing to the top of the KU record books with each completed pass. Meanwhile, No.2 passer Alex Espinoza, ISU quarterback, needs only 92 more yards to become 10th on the Big Eight career passing list.
"This will be a battle of two good quarterbacks," Jim Criner, ISU head coach said. "But I give an edge to Kansas on its defense."
Offensively, the teams have focused primarily on passing attacks, however both are trying to improve their running games.
"It should be an exciting game, especially from a fan's point of view," KU head coach Bob Valesente said. "Both teams have pro-style offenses. It's going to come down to whoever gets the most yardage rushing. When there's two passing teams, then the running game gains importance."
Linebacker John Randolph said Kansas could not bank on Iowa State passing only because it also was able to run well.
"We need to go out there and do what we do best — attack people," he said.
KU vs. Iowa State
With the similarities, the players and coaches are expecting a close ballgame.
"If we play with good team concept, we can win." KU linebacker Rick Bredesen said. "We have to have good coverage and try to dominate from the beginning. It's going to be a really close game."
Because the two team's offenses
are so similar, the defenses have become accustomed to practicing against what they will see from the other team.
"We must react to everything they
give to us." Bredesen said. "We know the challenge is here. We know what it takes, know what we have to do."
pulls at the players. The three-game winning spree they have enjoyed is being challenged by perhaps the toughest competition the Jayhawks have faced this season.

Jury awards $50 to photographer in $2 million suit
United Press International
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — The $2 million damage suit filed by photographer Arthur Seitz against tennis champion Martina Navratilova ended yesterday with a state Supreme Court jury awarding Seitz just $50 for the loss of his film.
The jury deliberated eight hours before deciding to compensate Seitz only for the film that Navratilova admitted ripping from his camera and destroying after he snapped her photograph after her quarterfinal loss at the 1982 U.S. Open tournament in Flushing Meadows, Queens.
Neither Navratilova nor Seitze were in the courtroom when the jury rendered its decision to Supreme Court Judge Lester Gerard after the 12-day trial. Navratilova defeated Hana Mandikova on Wednesday night in Barcelona, Spain, to win the First International Trophy of the City of Barcelona.
Seitz maintained that Navratilova injured him when she grabbed one of his three cameras as he sought to take her picture after her defeat by Pam Shriver during the tournament.
The panel refused to grant Setza any damages for doctor bills, pain and suffering or loss of income, all of which were components of his $2 million suit against Navratilova.
Before the case went to the jury, a $4.5 million countersuit filed by Navratilva against Seitz was dismissed. She charged that he invaded her privacy when he continued to snap her picture after a news conference on her crushing loss to Pam Shriver.
that the camera was suspended from his left shoulder and when Navratilova seized it, she bent back his arm, causing serious injury to his left shoulder and elbow.
The 44-year old photographer said
He testified that he was in a public area of the tennis complex at the time of the incident. He conceded that Navratilova was emotionally upset by her defeat.
the defense charged that Seitz bullied and tortured Navratilva by attempting to photograph her after she had willingly posed for cameramen at four other locations in the tennis center after her defeat.
Hart said there was evidence presented at the 12-day trial that Seitz did not seek any medical treatment until two weeks after the incident and after he met with Mitchelson in a Boston hotel room.
Navratilova said Seitz provoked her. She admitted seizing the camera, ripping out the film and throwing it on the ground.
Seitz's lawyer, well-known palimony attorney Marvin Mitchelson, told the jury that it was a vicious assault.
The defense contended that Navratilova did not injure Seitz's arm.
Her attorney, Edward Hark, asked Seitz if he gave consideration to persons who were emotionally upset when he snapped their pictures.
But, she said she had no intention of physically harming Seitz.
"That not my concern," Seitz replied.

Jayhawks survive weather, Fort Scott
By BRIAN SNYDER

The games were scheduled to be played at Holcom Park. However, Lawrence city officials would not allow the games to be played there because of the wet field, so a net was strung up in place of the backstop on Quigley field, which is under renovation.
Yesterday was not a good day for baseball.
The 55-degree temperature was made colder by the wind at Quigley Field. Nevertheless, the Kansas baseball team took two games from the Fort Scott Community College Greyhounds, 4-3 and 4-2.
As cold as the few Jayhawk fans were who bundled in their coats to watch the games, the KU pitching was just as hot. For the second straight double-header, KU pitching dominated both games and impressed head coach Marty Pattin
("David) Vaughn, who finished up the second game, had good velocity, and our freshman pitcher, Steve McGinness, looked good," Pattin said.
Pattin said that finding rhythm for the pitchers was difficult in cold weather.
Vaughn said that the cold temperature had an effect on pitchers. The cold can be a disadvantage.
"When it's cold, it's hard to get anything on it (the pitch)," he said before he pitched the final inning in the second game. "It's hard to get loose and grip the ball."
Morris took the win in the first game. In the first game, the Greyhounds built a 3-0 edge by the third inning.
Pattin also said he was impressed with pitcher Steve Renko. Renko just looked fantastic, he said.
Renko threw the fifth and sixth innings of the first game. He faced seven batters and struck out four. Bret
"We had good execution on offense and moved runners over," Pattin said. "It's hard to keep some consistency with the rainouts we've had."
Shortstop Scott Seratte kept the rally alive with a single and a stolen base. He scored when Jeff Spencer, the designated hitter, singled.
The Jayhawks took the lead for good in the fourth when Ray executed a perfect squeeze bunt, scoring catcher Joe Pfister. Pfister had singled and went to third on a double by right fielder Jarratt Boeschen. Boeschen moved to third on the bunt and scored on a wild pitch by Greyhound pitcher David Gifford.
In the second game, it was the Jayhawks' turn to take the early lead.
in the second inning, designated hitter Hugh Stanfield tripped into the right field corner and Pfister walked. Boeschen singled in Stanfield, moving Pfister to second.
Joe Murphy, right fielder, put down a bunt single, loading the bases. A run was forced in when second baseman Pat Karlin walked.
Kansas added single runs in the third and fifth.
Scott Taylor, who started the second game, was the winner.
Fort Scott scored its only run in the third when second baseman Scott Snyder hit a 78 mph Craig Houfek fastball 400 feet over the center field wall.
