Two fullbacks lead the Cyclopes in rushing, a rarity in any team's offense. Senior fullback Sundiata Patterson led the team in rushing against Oklahoma with 48 yards on nine carries. He is second on the team in rushing behind junior Chris Ulrich, who has run for 190 yards in four games. On special teams, Iowa State has two nationally ranked performers. Junior halfback James McMillion has a 15.3 yard average on punt returns, eighth best in the nation. Senior punter Jon Schnoor ranks 15th nationally in net punting yardage with an average of 39.2 yards a kick. The Cyclone defense returns seven players with starting experience. Senior Malcolm Goodwin has forced five fumbles and leads the team with 68 tackles this season. He was named Big Eight Defensive Player of the Week for making 15 tackles in a 21-7 loss to Iowa on Sept. 12. Senior linebacker Dan Milner is second on the team with 55 tackles. He led the Cyclones with 121 tackles last year and had 110 tackles as a sophomore. The Jayhawks will try to counter Iowa State's defense with an offense that averages 445.4 vards a game. Senior quarterback Chip Hillery will try to become the second player in Big Eight history to pass for 4,000 yards and run for 1,000 vards Former Missouri quarterback Phil Bradley is the only Big Eight player to have accomplished the feat. He passed for 5,325 yards and ran for 1,107 yards. NOTES: Kansas leads the all-time series 36-29-6. It has a 17-16-3 record against the Cyclones in Ames. The Jayhawks have not been 5-1 since 1988.

THE GREAT Mason must have liked the article because he hired Jefferson as his receivers coach. LAWRENCE — A newspaper article led Kansas coach Gleason Mason to a victory. Jefferson said he was a graduate assistant at Southern Methodist University in 1989 when Mason, after catching wind of a newspaper article, asked then SMU coach Forrest Gregg to interview Jefferson. "I was kind of skeptical in the beginning," Jefferson said. "Because Dallas is home. But Forrest talked me into taking the interview, and my family said at least go up and see what the place is like." Jefferson found he liked what he saw. He took Mason's offer and came to Kansas in 1990 in part because Gregg had no permanent position for Jefferson at SMU. Jefferson is in his third year with the Jayhawks. Jefferson was a Pro Bowl selection in his NFL playing days with the San Diego Chargers, where he teamed up with quarterback Dan Fouts for the famed "Air Coryell" passing attack. He played under Gregg for two years with the Green Bay Packers. Jefferson, known as JJ, was the first NFL player to gain 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first three seasons and went on to become one of the most prolific receivers of the 1980s. In 1980, he led the NFL with 1,340 receiving yards. "My family loves it," Jefferson said of Lawrence. "It's a good blend in the small-town atmosphere but yet we are close enough to the big city. Everything just kind of fell into place. I really like it here." Jefferson ended his eight-year NFL career with the Cleveland Browns in 1985. He said he was becoming too familiar with the training room. After retirement Jefferson did some traveling and then started working in the real estate division of Merrill Lynch and Co. Inc. in Dallas. He stayed with the company for three years when the time came to give football another shot. "I got out because my body couldn't handle it," he said. "No problems with knees and things like that. But staying in the training room all the time — it was just time." Gregg took over the SMU program shortly had been lifted, and he asked Jefferson to help out. He offered Jefferson the job — with one stipulation. Of all the catches Jefferson had made, one that had slipped through his hands was his college degree. Jefferson did not receive his degree when he left Arizona State in 1978, but he went back and earned a history degree in 1989 and his coaching career took off. Jefferson said what he enjoyed most about coaching was working with young receivers. "I really enjoy watching them grow, especially those coming from high school," he said. Rob Licursi, a senior receiver for the Jayhawks, said Jefferson's NFL experience had helped with his progression at Kansas. Former Jayhawk klegend and NFL player John Hadl was one of the receivers' coaches that preceded Jefferson at Kansas, but Licurci said he could relate more to Jefferson than to Hadl. "I take what he says to heart, not that I didn't with Hadi," Llicari said. "Coach Hadl played pro ball, but it was so much before my time." Licursi said that players could relate easier to Jefferson's youth and experiences. Braves can't shake bad dream, to face Morris again in Game 1 The Associated Press ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have to get back to reality in a hurry. Jack Morris is waiting for them. Again. Morris, a familiar face in a different uniform, is expected to open Game 1 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays tomorrow night, matching pitches with Atlanta ace Tom Glavine. Both teams secured their berths in the Series on Wednesday — Toronto smashing the Oakland Athletics 9-2 for the American League championship and Atlanta rallying for all its runs in the ninth inning of an emotion-draining 3-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates to claim its second consecutive National League crown. Glavine, last year's NL Cy Young Award winner, won 1-1 against the Twins, losing Game 2 in the Metrodome and winning Game 5 at home when he yielded three runs and four hits in 5-1-3 innings of a 14-5 victory. Morris was 0-1 in the Toronto-Oakland series and Glavine 0-2 against the Pirates, including one game in which he was beat worse than he was in the Morris was the key reason Atlanta did not win last year's World Series. He won the first and seventh games for the Minnesota Twins, going 10 innings and allowing only seven hits in a 1-9 victory in the final. He had no decision in Game 4, giving up one run and six hits in six innings. The Pirates got eight runs and six hits before Glavine was lifted with nobody out in the second innning of Pittsburgh's 13-4 victory Tuesday night that squared the NL playoffs at three. All-Star game in July. "I stunk." he said. When the World Series moves to Toronto for Game 3 Tuesday night, it will be a homecoming for Braves manager Bobby Cox, who managed the Blue Jays for four years, reaching the AL playoffs in his final season, 1985, only to lose to the Kansas City Royals. He also gave up seven consecutive singles in the second inning of the All-Star game, taking the loss. Francisco Cabrera, hero of the clinching victory against the Pirates, was a backup catcher with the Blue Jays during his rookie season in 1989. Toronto," Cabrera said. "I watched them and wanted them to win. I was sure we were going to win." "I thought to myself, we've got to win this game because I want to go to Sandersvs. McCarver Atlanta outfielder Dean Sanders doused CBS announcer Tim McCarr with ice water three times after the Braves 3-2 pennant chancing victory against Pittsburgh Wednesday night in a McCarr called an act of owwardness. CBS senior vice president Rick Gentle said he had spoken to National League president Bill White about the incident, and McCarver said yesterday that he planned to do the same. "I thought it was a delibrate, cowardly act," McCarver said. McCarver said the first time Sanders dumed him, he was so shocked he pulled a muscle in the right side of his back.

Derau, Hollstein and Virginia will be compete Kansas coach Frankie Albitz said that the tournament was important, but that she wanted the team to concentrate on Bir Eight Conference competition. "I'm real concerned about the Big Eight play," she said. "I hope we do well this weekend, but our matches against Big Eight teams mean the most." The Jagahaws are coming off a 3-2 loss to Missouri Wednesday night. Kansas won the first two games 15-10 and 17-15, before losing 15-6, 15-8 and 15-5. Albiz said that the Jayhawks broke down after being ahead 2-0. "I think my team felt like we had them beat," she said. "We definitely let up after we were ahead.

"We weren't hitting very hard at all, and they were getting a lot of digs," Albitz said. "Cyndee hit the ball well, but other than that we didn't do too well." "Against Missouri, they played well and we played inconsistent," she said. "It's very important for us to do well this weekend. The focus for us is on Big Eight play, but we these matches this weekend will help prepare us for that."
