Alabama beats Ohio State in kickoff
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Mike Shula hit Albert Bell with a 3-yard touchdown pass with 9:33 to play last night and carried No. 6 ranked Alabama over No. 9 Ohio State, 16-10, in the Kickoff Classic, the start of college football's 118th season.
United Press International
With Ohio State leading 10-6,
Shula shook off three-quarters of
poor play to lead the Crimson Tide
73 yards in 12 plays for the winning
score. Gene Jelks carried five
times for 32 yards in the march
and Shula completed a 16-yard
shuffle pass to fullback Doug Allen
to key the drive
On 3rd-and-goal at the 3, Shula found Bell hooking in the front of the end zone and completed his first pass all game to a wide receiver.
The Buckeyes received one last chance when Darryll Thomas interfered with Cris Carter on consecutive pass plays with no time remaining, pushing Ohio State to the Alabama 17. Jim Karsatos then hit Carter in the hands in the end zone, but Alabama's Britton Cooper and Chris Goode knocked the ball away to end the game.
The Crimson Tide also received three field goals from Van Tiffin.
including a 28-yarder with 1:02 left to make it 16-10. Ohio State scored on a 26-yard run by Jamie Holland and a 44-yard field goal by Pat O'Morrow. However, O'Morrow, a freshman playing his first college game, missed two field goals, and a faulty snap stopped another field-goal attempt.
The game, before a Giants Stadium crowd of 68.296, was a messy affair with seven turnovers and numerous false start penalties.
Neither Shula nor Ohio State's Karsatos — senior quarterbacks considered Heisman Trophy candidates — was particularly sharp.
Shula completed 11-of-19 passes for 83 yards and two interceptions. Karsatos was 20-of-31 for 193 yards and two interceptions.
Although he did not play well for most of the game, Shula excelled in the fourth quarter. He was 3-for-3 in the drive that culminated with Tiffin's 28-yard field goal, as Alabama killed most of the final seven minutes.
Jelks rushed for 70 yards on 14 carries, Carter, the Buckeyes' outstanding receiver, caught three passes to extend his streak of consecutive games to 25 with a reception.
Knee injury claims KU volleyball player
By a Kansan sports writer
Eileen Schwartz, junior hitter for the Kansas women's Jayhawk volleyball team, will miss the coming season after knee surgery yesterday, said Brenda Sneed, the KU women's trainer.
Schwartz will be out six to eight months. She injured the knee in May and re-injured it the first day of volleyball practice in August.
The 1½ hour surgery, to repair a stretched anterior cruciate ligament, was performed at Lawrence Memorial Hospital by Ken Wert-
zberger, the team's orthopedic surgeon.
Schwartz was to back up starting hitter Judy Desch this season, and she will be replaced by freshman Jodi Oelschlager.
"Hopefully we can get around it," Albitz said. "It's a real shame because she was just starting to get comfortable in that position."
Albizt moved Schwartz to the outside hitting spot behind Desch last fall.
Albitz, who spent last evening with Schwartz, said Schwartz probably would be redshirted.
Connors, Lloyd win in Open
United Press International
NEW YORK — Jimmy Connors, feeling at home in his favorite tournament, crushed Henrik Sundstrom in straight sets last night to advance to the second round of the U.S. Open along with Chris Evert Lloyd and Boris Becker.
By wiping out Sundstrom 6-2, 6-2,
6-2 in 1 hour and 49 minutes, Connors
joined Brad Gilbert as the only two
seeded U.S. men to survive the opening
round.
Connors, a five-time Open champion, insists it is foolhardy to dismiss his chances despite his age, and the sixth seed proved himself a strong factor with his easy victory over Sundstrom. He had his service broken only once as he converted 76 percent of his first serves.
"Right now I have a chance," the left-hander said. "I'm not going to say I'll win it and I won't say I don't have a chance, but I have played my best tennis here. The people bring out the best in me.
"If I'm going to do it (win another Grand Slam), this would be a nice place to try. If you go out and play the kind of tennis I'm capable of,
anything can happen."
Connors, who celebrates his 34th birthday next week, now has won 78 matches at the U.S. Open, the most of any man, and he has been the finalist in each of the last 12 years.
Becker, at 18 almost half the age of Connors, feels he is a lot older and wiser than a year ago when he made his initial appearance in the Open, and says this maturity helped him earn a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 decision over Canadian Gilchibita.
Evert Lloyd had less difficulty in disposing of Barbara Gerken 6-2, 6-1. It was a record 84th victory in the U.S. Open for Evert Lloyd, a six-time champion.
"I feel great," the 31-year-old Floridian said after her 57-minute workout. "I'm in a good frame of mind. I haven't overplayed to this point. I feel very fresh at this stage of the year. I'm real optimistic."
also won opening-round matches on a windy, overcast afternoon, as did Steffi Graf and Pam Shriver, Nos. 3 and 5 among the women.
Wilander, yet to get past the third round in nine previous attempts, defeated Todd Nelson 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4; Edberg crushed Stephane Boneaune 6-0, 6-3, 6-0; Graf beat Susan Mascarin 6-0, 6-1, and Shriver routed Terry Holladay, 6-1, 6-0, in 41 minutes.
None of the seeds to play during the afternoon was beaten. And of the 11 women seeds to play first-round matches, all were successful in straight sets.
Becker, the two-time Wimbledon champion, remembers all too well his upset loss to Joakim Nystrom in the fourth round of the 1985 Open.
Sports Briefs Basketball meeting next week in Parrot
"I lost my head completely in that match," Becker said. "There was no way I could win it by just playing tenis. You have to be mentally better. I learned a lot from those kir⁻² of matches.
Swedes Mats Wilander and Stefan Edberg, seeded second and fourth.

PHOENIX. Ariz. — A high school football player died after a non-contact practice drill, the second Phoenix area high school player to die in the last 10 days.
Craig Larsen, 16, a junior defensive lineman for Deer Valley High School, was pronounced dead at 8:40 p.m. Tuesday at Thunderbird Samaritan Hospital, about an hour after he collapsed on the school's football field.
Deer Valley Athletic Director Wayne Kindall said Larsen passed the physical examination Monday and was taking part in his first oficial practice.
Larsen, 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds,
had just finished a half-speed
tackling drill when he collapsed
about 7:45 p.m.
In the earlier death, Chandler High School lineman Ricardo Arzaga collapsed and died at his family's home in nearby Queen Creek. The 6-2, 215-pound junior was a two-way starter for the Wolves.
Trainer Rob Archer administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until paramedics arrived. Kindall said.
Coaches and teammates said that the cause of Arzaga's death was listed as heart failure but that he had showed no signs being ill
