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 diverse 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 appiece.
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."
Rafael Santana started a double play and kept the Astros from developing a comeback in the ninth.
Gary Carter doubled home one run and Keith Hernandez tripled home two more for the Mets.
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\frac{2}{3} innings and took the loss.
"We made some big plays at crucial times." Oieda said.
"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 Davey Johnson.
Game 3 is scheduled tomorrow in Shea Stadium, with Houston's Bob Knepper opposing the Mets' Ron Darling.
The difference in team attack could scarcely have been more pronounced. The first seven Met hits all contributed to a run. Meanwhile, the Astros carefully developed an almost attack. In just about every innning, they almost scored.
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.
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 to a 2-10 lead.
When Billy Hatcher singled with
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

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."
Both teams are 3-1 after three consecutive victories. They also have many similarities on offense and defense.
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

Tried and true guitars and amps produce unique sound

Very few things made in the 1950s and early 1960s are relied on in the 1980s.
However, a recent "back-to-the-roots" movement in rock 'n' roll music, led by groups such as "The Fabulous Thunderbirds" and "The Tail Gators", has resulted in a renewed interest in the musical equipment of the '50s and '60s.
1968s:
For instance, most 30-year-old toasters and lamps have found their way to dusty attics and garages, and most cars have ended up in the junk heap.
And some Lawrence musicians and musical equipment retailers think the equipment of that era is, perhaps, the best ever produced.
he plays a modern guitar through an amplifier similar to early models made by the Fender Musical Instrument Co.
David Wendler, Lawrence resident, repairs instruments at Richardson Music, 18 Ninth St., and plays guitar in "Ropeburn", a local band that plays both rock and country and western music.
Wendler said that Fender amplifiers were conceived in the 1950s and were built with nowobsolete vacuum tubes, but their design has been copied ever since. The tubes were predecessors to modern-day transistors.
a tube amp, he said, produces a warmer sound than transistor amps because the signal from an instrument spends less time travelling through the electronics.
"A transistor amp, by nature, has a lot of distortion," he said. "What those amps do is clean up the signal by sending it back through several transistors. Now, that's fine for hard rock 'n roll, but it's not what I prefer."
Wendler has owned several vintage instruments including a 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar, an innovative instrument that is still copied today. The guitar was the first to have two magnetic coils to reduce electronic background noise.
Wendler said the vintage guitar market was saturated, mostly with Fender models. But the supply of vintage instruments is not causing prices to fall.
"You could expect to pay anywhere from $800 to $1,200 for a mid-60s Fender Stratocaster," he
said.
A new Stratocaster, which is the type of guitar most often identified with Buddy Holly, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, cost about $300 in the 60s, he said.
Vintage Fender amplifiers are the choice of more than just guitar players.
MMee said his amp had a unique sound that could only come from age.
Lee McBee, Lawrence resident, plays his harmonica through a Fender Bandmaster amplifier made in 1955. He is the lead singer, harmonica and saxophone player for "Screamin' Lee and the Rocktones."

sounds that could only be "This one is been played ever since it was made," he said. "That's better than one that's sat around for a long time because dust gets in those and mucks up the sound."
mics of his McCee said that although the amp had been in the shop, the repairs were not expensive and he could probably recover his investment if he sold it.
money in the bank," he said.
McBee said he was impressed with the quality of his amp. He said he once heard a story about Leo Fender, who founded the Fender Musical Instrument Co., and the high degree of workmanship into the older equipment he produced.
"The only tool he had on his belt was a pair of clippers," he said.
"You get these amps and it's like

'You get these amps and it's like money in the bank.'
"Anytime he'd see a fault, he'd tear into the amp and clip all the wires. Then they'd have to start all over again."
While Fender and Gibson are the predominant names in the vintage guitar market, several other classic electric guitars are becoming more available.
Gretsch hollow-body electrics, guitars used by "The Stray Cats" and Duane Eddy, are resurfacing on the market, as are Danelectros, guitars which were once sold by Roeebuck and Co.

Broshews said the group first bought Rickenbacker guitars, a brand often used by the Beatles.
"You just can't get that kind of sound without using the same kind of instruments they used," he said.
