1.42 University Daily Kansan / Friday, October 10, 1986 Sports 7 New York shuts down Astros. tving plavoff 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敌风 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 hound-handler Bobby Ojeda (frustured 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 fourth inning and singled home one of three runs in the fifth and dissapointed 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. Rafael Santana started a double play and kept the Astros from developing a comeback in the ninth. "We made some big plays at crucial times," Oteda said. 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 $ _{2}^{3} $ 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 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 inning, 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 on first 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 2-0 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.

His long-time friend and colleague, William Kuhke, agreed. "Something should be changed after a person participates in live theatre," said Wright, professor of theatre and media arts and the artistic director for University Theatre. "Nothing major, but something should stay with you for a least a while after the performance." Wright and Kuhkle, professor of theatre and media arts and of Soviet and East European studies, are both staring in the University of Kansas Theatre for Young People's production of "Don Quixote of La Mancha." "Don Quixote of La Mancha" is the last play Jed Davis, professor of media arts and long-time head of KU's children's theatre program, will direct before he retires in December after a 26-year career at the University of Kansas. This will be the first play that Wright and Kuhike, who have worked together at KU for about 10 years, have acted in together. Kuhike plays Don Quixote and Wright plays his sidekick, Sancho Panza. Wright and Kuhlhe both said that working on the play together had been a special experience. "The biggest thrill for us is performing together," Kuhlke said. The only reason they haven't acted together before is that no one has asked them. Wright said. "Working with Jack has been very gratifying." Kuhlke said. "Sometimes it just happens that you 'Something should be changed after a person participates in live theatre.' students." Wright said. Jack Wright professor of theatre and media arts and artistic director of University Theatre Kuhike said, "When you're in a production together, everyone is a peer. The student-teacher relationship just doesn't apply. The whole cast has worked really well together, and Jed Davis has led us. He's easy to work with, I don't think he's had any problems with control or discipline because everyone has pitched in." in working Wright and Kuhike, who have been rehearsing the play for the last five weeks, also said they had enjoyed working with Davis and the other students in the cast. Kuhike said the children's theatre program had really grown under Davis and that he hoped the theatre department would begin looking for a suitable replacement soon. come across another performer that you develop a special rhythmic response with — that's been the case in working with Jack." "It's great being able to work with "One of the reasons a small town like Lawrence has such a rich cultural tradition is because of model programs like KU's children's theatre," Kuhlke said. Wright and Kuhike said they had seen generations of children grow up who had developed a continuing interest in theatre after they were first exposed to theatre by KU's program. "It's particularly important in the U.S. to expose children to live theatre at a young age." Kuhike said. He said that since the United States didn't have a strong live theatre tradition like some European countries, it was important to be able to play at a young age. Wright and Kuhlke said it was fun Mark Bushouse, left, Lawrence freshman, and Mark Tilford, Wichita sophomore, trombone players for the University of Kansas Marching Jayhawks, practice behind Oliver Hall.

Bell of a day "It's exciting and wonderful to perform for children because they're so open and willing to join the creative world." Kuhlike said. to perform for young audiences because children were more responsive than adults. Wright said there were also potential perils when performing for a young audience — they might laugh more easily, but they also get bored more easily. He said that when adults became bored, they tactfully closed their eyes and remained still, but when children became bored, they became restless in their seats. Kuhike agreed, "Let's put it this way," he said. "Children can't mask boredom." "The children always let you know where you stand." Wright said. "If you hear a lot of squeaking seats, you know you're not doing well." reciprocal with over 300 clubs S niner is in State.
