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 defense 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 appie.
Wally Backman delivered two key singles, and left-hander Bobby Ojeda frustrated Houston with a 10-hit complete game.
"You could just feel a very positive momentum shift to us."
"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.
Ojeda stranded nine runners for the victory.
Backman ignited a two-run fourth inning and singled home one of three runs in the fifth and dissapointed a crowd of 44,391.
"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."
"We made some big plays at
arrested times." Oieda 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 $1_{2}^{3}$ innings and took the loss.
Rafael Santana started a double play and kept the Astros from developing a comeback in the ninth.
"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.
When the Astros did finally produce a key hit, Phil Garner's RBI single in the seventh, it proved way too late.
Gary Carter doubled home one run and Keith Hernandez tripled home two more for the Mets.
"He threw the ball well velocity-wise." Lanier said. "He didn't get the ball where he wanted to."
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 for a 2-10 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.

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 Sue 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 Orch, 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 JC.

Director's farewell to KU theatre is a revised 'Quixote' for children
Staff writer

"I like what the kids like," Davis said.
Davis will retire from KU in December after 27 years of directing. His main interest is children's theatre.

With a quick smile and easy laugh, Jed Davis, professor of theatre and media arts and head of the KU children's theatre program, directs his 45th play at the University of Kansas, "Don Quixote of La Mancha."
When he retires, Davis said, he would like to do some traveling and accept some guest lecture invitations. He plans to write plays and revise a textbook he has co-written.
Before coming to KU, Davis directed plays at Michigan State University and Macalester College. St. Paul, Minn. He was also a guest professor at California State University, Long Beach.
Davis said he probably would miss directing but it was time to move on and let someone else map a new course of events.
University Davis said there was not much difference between students at the schools he has taught at, but there were differences in administrative climates.
"KU has a supportive ad ministrative climate," Davis said. "I like the people and working in a compatible atmosphere. KU students don't know how lucky they are."
He said someone with an unbounded amount of energy could find a new thrust for the program. The KU children's theatre program began in 1954 and two plays are produced each year.
Davis said he had wanted to do "Don Quixote of La Mancha" for a long time. He has not directed the play before because he needed to rewrite the text. The language of the play was rustic Yorkshire and incomprehensible.
Twenty-seven faculty members and students make up the cast of the play. Davis said it was difficult for him to keep all his players busy because some of the scenes called for groups of three to five actors and other scenes required the entire cast on stage.
He said working with experienced actors like William Kuhike, professor of theatre and media arts, who plays Don Quixote, and Jack Wright, professor of theatre and media arts, who plays Sancho Panza, helped student actors develop method and production philosophies that could not be
Davis said the more an actor could do in a play, on stage and off, the more he would grow and gain respect for the whole process.
The availability of Kuhike and Wright were two more reasons for not doing the play until now, Davis said.
Davis said he spent many hours with this play and when it came time to cast the play he had a pretty clear vision of what type of actors he wanted to perform the parts.
found anywhere else.
"During the auditions you have to come as close as you can to accomplish the visions," he said. "It's not always physical appearance. There are also aesthetic qualities."
He said he invisoned a big man playing the inkeeper and an actor who could communicate the qualities of a scholar to play Carrasco. He wanted Don Quixote to be tall and gaunt and Sancho Panza to be short and stout.
"I'm satisfied with 'Dun Quixote of La Mancha,'" Davis said. "It has richer material than 'Peter Pan.'"
Sara Lahey, left, Fairway senior, portrays Maritonites during a rehearsal, while Jack Wright, professor of theatre and media arts and artistic director of University Theatre, portrays Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's sidekick.
He said the play was geared toward older children but said it was really a theatre piece.

Dreamer goes back to chivalrous days
By PATRICIA FEENY
"Don Guixote of La Mancha," presented as part of the Kansas Conference on Theatre for Young Audiences at 6 p.m. at The University of Kansas in Murphy Hall. Tickets are $3 and $2 for KU students and $6 and $4 for the general public may be purchased at the Murphy Box Office.
The University of Kansas Theatre for Young People captures the days of knights in armor, damsels in distress and medieval castles in its production of Arthur Faquez's "Don Quixote of La Mancha."
The play tells of Don Quixote's exploits and the predicaments he gets into on his episodic adventures. In his quest to return to the days of chivalry he realizes that he is a foolish old man who is not physically able to perform the feats of a knight.
"He is the last of the true knights," said Alice Kinsella, St Louis senior. "He's a man who to relive the days of chivalry.
Sara Lahey, Fairway senior, said it was a children's show but anyone would enjoy it. She said that in the eyes of Don Quixote a homely maiden was pretty and windmills were giant monsters.
The director of the play, Jed Davis, rewrote the version KU is performing.
"There should be enough adventure, color, life and fun to entertain everyone," Davis said. He said the production was one that families should see together.
The play is adapted from the original epic novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. The original play was in Spanish and was then translated into French and Yorkshire British by an English woman.
Davis said the play's message was timeless. He said Don Quixote learned during his adventures that people didn't have to worry about what they looked like.
other performances during the conference will be "Workin' Texas," performed by the Zachary Scott Theatre of Austin, Tex., at 8 p.m. Oct. 17, and the Metro Theatre Circus of St. Louis will perform "In a Room Somewhere" at 2 p.m. Oct. 18. All performances will be in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
"Don Quixote of La Mancha" is also the opening production in the Kansas Conference on Theatre for Young Audiences, a three-day conference being held in Davis' honor.
