Men's golfers take second in Oklahoma tournament
The Kansas men's golf team took second place yesterday in the All College Golf Classic in Oklahoma City, Okla. behind North Texas State.
The Jayhawks finished with a two-day total of 868, five strikes behind North Texas State.
Brian McGreevy, Wichita junior, won the individual championship after posting a final round of 69 and finishing with 212 strokes on the Lincoln Park course.
This was McGreevy's second straight tournament championship.
Steve Madsen, Lawrence senior, finished with a 217 taking seventh place overall.
KSU takes bids for coliseum
John Ogden, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, shot a 220 for the tournament. Dawid Pettle, Minnesota junior, shot a 230 and Rudy Zupetz, Minot, N.D., sophomore, shot a 227.
TOPEKA, Kan. — Construction bids totaling $15.5 million were made in Topeka yesterday for Bramlage Coliseum, a 13,500-seat facility to be built at Kansas State University.
The bids were lower than the $15.9 million estimate approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, said Cy Wainscott, director of communications at KSU.
The bids were made by general contractors and subcontractors. They included J.E. Dunn of Kansas City, Mo., Young Construction of Toocka and L'Associates of Wichita.
Yesterday marked the second time construction bids were let on the coliseum, Wainscott said. Last year bids were made for a larger, 16,000-seat facility, but they came in about 25 percent above the $16 million estimate approved by the regents.
The project was sealed back to a 13,500-seat facility and additional private funds were raised before the bids were let again yesterday, he said.
The coliseum is named after Fred Bramlage of Junction City, a KSU alumnus and major contributor to the project, which is slated for completion in October 1988.
The facility is being built with $7 million from student fees, $2 million from the athletic department and $8.5 million from the Kansas State University Foundation.
University must now award the contracts. Wainscott said. Construction was expected to begin next month.
K.C. sends Motley to Atlanta
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals yesterday traded outfielder Darryl Motley to the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Steve Shields.
Motley was hitting just .203 with seven home runs and 20 RBI this season. He was used sparingly after the Royals called up three minor league outfielders Sept. 1.
Motley, 26, was a 253 career hitter before this season. He is probably best remembered for a two-run home run in the seventh game of last year's World Series that sparked the Royals to an 11-9 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Shields, 27, spent most of this season at Atlanta's Triple A affiliate in Richmond, where he was 9-8 with a 2.59 ERA. Shields was 2-0 in the league playoffs, including a five-hit, 4-0 victory over Rochester in the championship game.
The players are expected to be with their new teams today.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chief veteran linebacker Ken McAlister, who was injured in Sunday's victory over the Houston Oilers, underwent successful surgery for torn ligaments in his right knee yesterday, team officials said.
McAlister has knee surgery
the surgery is expected to sideline McAlister for the 1986 season. It was performed by the team's orthopedic surgeon, Howard Ellfeldt, at Research Hospital.
McAlister has been placed on the injured reserve list and the Chiefs have replaced him on the active roster with veteran linebacker Whitney Paul, a 10th-round 1976 draft pick by the Chiefs out of Colorado.
Paul played six seasons with the Chiefs as a starting outside linebacker before being traded to the New Orleans Saints in July 1892 for a seventh-round draft pick. He was waived by the Saints at the end of the 1986 preseason and became a free agent.
The 6-4, 218 pound, 10-year veteran has 11 career interceptions for 102 yards in NFL regular season play.
McAlister had been a starter at outside linebacker for the Chiefs since the start of the season. He ranks eighth on the team in tackles, and he has one sack and two pass deflections.
McAlister had surgery twice on his left knee, once in the 1984 preseason and again in 1985, when he sat out the entire season.
Kirk savs being fired hurt
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Former Memphis State basketball coach Dana Kirk said yesterday that he was hurt by his firing and still does not understand why it happened.
Kirk, talking to reporters for the first time since he was fired a week ago, said Memphis State officials gave him no reason for his dismissal.
Kirk appeared yesterday on a radio talk show on WHB and met with reporters afterward. He did not discuss his feelings in depth, but promised to hold a news conference at some point.
Kirk said he wished interim coach Larry Finch luck and said he had "a lot of fun" in his seven years at Memphis State.
"Coaching has been such a pleasure," said Kirk, the winningest basketball coach in Memphis State history, who took the Tigers to three Metro Conference championships.
Memphis State President Thomas Carpenter declined to say why Kirk was fired, but denied it was because a federal grand jury has been investigating the coach's personal finances.
Meanwhile, contract negotiations continued between the school and Finch. School officials say they have offered Finch the job and he has shown a willingness to accept it under the right conditions.
Soviet rejects LSU's offer
In a copyrighted story scheduled for distribution Saturday, Tiger Rag, a weekly publication about LSU sports, quoted Lithuanian coach Vladas Garastas as saying the 7-foot-1 center wants to remain with the Soviet National Team at least until the Olympic games in Seoul, South Korea.
BATON ROUGE, La. — Soviet basketball star Arvidas Sabonis will reject offers to play for Louisiana State University or any other U.S. team, preferring to play for his own country in the 1988 Olympics, a sports magazine reported.
"We have decided that for the next two years,
until the Olympics in Seoul, he (Sabonis) has to remain." Garastas said.
The coach said Sabonis, 21, agreed with the decision.
"After the Olympics, we will think about it. That is the decision."
LSU Coach Dale Brown traveled to the Soviet Union earlier this year in the hopes of recruiting the star. During a more recent trip to West Germany, Brown was unsuccessful in making a return trip to the Soviet Union to pursue the recruit.
Brown, who was unavailable for comment yesterday, worked with the NCAA to amend an eligibility rule that required all college athletes to take standardized academic entrance exams.
Under the amendment to the rule, any student who graduated from high school before 1985-1986 could be exempt from the testing provision.
Sabonis, who also has been drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers, also has no interest in playing professional basketball, his coach said.
"At this time, we need him much more than any team in America does." Garastas said.
"The generations are changing within the Soviet National Team. The young players who are coming in, they have to learn how to play with each other. And if Sabonis weren't there, it would be difficult for the team."
Players union files charges
DETROIT — The union representing players on the Harlem Globetrotters has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the management of the comedy basketball team, attorneys announced yesterday.
Detroit attorneys Edward Bell and Seymour Floyd — who represent the United Basketball Players Association — said the charge accuses Harlem Globetrotters Inc. of failing to bargain in good faith.
Negotiations with the Globetrotters' management have stalled with the result that nine of the 10 members of last year's team have refused to go to training camp at Lake Placid, N.Y., according to a release from the attorneys' office.
The union has been informed that the Globetrotters have signed eight rookies, the
The release quotes Lou Dunbar of the Globetrotters as claiming that management wants to reduce or eliminate all benefits and return players "to where we were in 1974," even though the team faces no financial hardship.
The Globetrotters are scheduled to play their first exhibition game against the Washington Generals on Sept. 24 at Lake Placid and then will begin a three-month tour of Europe.
Navratilova denies charges
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. - Tennis superstar Martina Navratilova denied yesterday she assaulted a photographer, saying she grabbed his camera without physically touching him.
Navratilova, testifying for a second day in state Supreme Court, also said she warned photographer Arthur Seitz to stop taking pictures of her before snatching away his camera at the 1982 U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, Queens.
Seitz, who alleges Navratilva bent back his left arm, seriously injuring his shoulder and elbow, is suing her for $2 million. Navratilva is countertesting for $4.5 million, alleging she suffered physical and emotional harm in her Sept. 7, 1982, encounter with the freelance photographer.

lowa State throws 2 players off team
United Press International
--violations in its basketball program
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State Cyclones Hughes Suffren and Marques Rodgers have been kicked off the team, Milon Pitts has been suspended for a week and Jeff Braswell's eligibility remains uncertain, head coach Jim Criner said yesterday.
Suffren, a starting receiver, and Rodgers, a backup tailback, reportedly are the target of an investigation into the use of credit cards stolen from an ISU football coach.
Pitts, a second-string senior cornerback, spent Sunday and Monday in the Story County Jail after pleading guilty to assaulting an Iowa State student who said the Cyclones "ran up the score" in Saturday's 64-9 win over Indiana State.
Brasswell, the team's star linebacker, missed the first two games of the season when ISU athletic director Max Urick declared him ineligible in connection with 1984 recruiting violations.
The three incidents are unrelated to a National Collegiate Athletic Association investigation into 34 charges of wrongdoing in the school's football program and 10 alleged
Maggie Moss, Polk County assistant attorney, said yesterday a decision would be made Tuesday on whether to file criminal charges against Suffren or Rodgers. The two reportedly were questioned by Story County authorities regarding the August theft of credit cards and $1,100 in property from assistant coach Ed Lambert's home in Ames.
"Suffren and Rodgers no longer are on the football team because I haven't seen them since last Wednesday night." Criner said during his weekly news conference. "As far as I know, they have quit."
In another case, Pitts pleaded guilty to the simple assault charge Saturday night. He was accused of bloodying the nose of ISU student James Real in his dormitory room after the student said the Cyclones "ran up the score" against a weaker opponent.
"I can appreciate what Milon did. I'm glad to see somebody stand up for what they believe in, but I don't condone it," Criner said.
These futons first became popular with apartment dwellers in New York and Boston because of their versatility and comfort. And now, the futon — the perfect bed — is in downtown Lawrence!
Braswell was expected to return to action in Saturday's game against Wichita State, but Criter said that would happen only if the Big Eight school gets a green light from the NCAA's Eligibility Committee.
