Two Big Eight teams still unbeaten
Colorado, Kansas St. undefeated while rest of conference strains; Kansas drops from No.24 slot
The Associated Press
KANSASCITY, Mo. — Following yet another terrible weekend for the Big Eight, the only conference teams still unbeaten are No. 10 Colorado and Kansas State.
The Buffaloes, 4.0, got another storybook performance from backup quarterback Koy Detmer Saturday and beat Iowa 28-12. Kansas State's Jaime Mendez intercepted a school-record four passes in leading the Wildcats, 2.0, past Temple 35-14.
No. 15 Nebraska, 3-1; also took advantage of turnovers, getting five in beating Arizona State 45-24. Oklahoma State squeezed past Tusla 24-10 for its second victory of the year despite getting outplayed.
Eight. Everybody else was a loser, except No. 19 Oklahoma, which took the day off.
Missouri, 0-3, was forced to accept another moral victory. The Tigers lost 20-10 at Indiana.
Kansas had the weekend off after losing 27-23 to California in its first game as a ranked team since 1976 and lost its No. 24 ranking. But the most demoralizing setback of the weekend for the Big Eight was probably Northern Iowa's 27-10 victory over Iowa State, its first win over the Cyclones in 90.
Freshman Scott Obermeier kicked four field goals, and Jason McCleary returned an interception 19 yards to lead the Division I-AA Northern Iowa past Iowa State.
So much for the winners in the Big
"It's a great win for our program and it's a great win for our university and our fans," said Northern Iowa coach Terry Allen. "We're competing for the I-AA national championship, and, believe it or not, this game doesn't have much bearing on that. But it sure is great for our fans and the students at UNI and the university as far as gaining the respect it so deserves."
Detmer threw three second-half touchdowns to pace Colorado. It was Detmer, who was supposed to be red-shirted this season, who threw two touchdown passes in the second half the week before to lead the Buffs to a come-from-behind victory over Minnesota. The brother of former Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer replaced a struggling Kordell Stewart at the start of the second half.
school-record five sacks, which was just half the team total. Stewart had four turnovers in the first half.
Linebacker Ron Woolfolk had a
"I'm the No. 2 quarterback and Kordell is 1," Detm said. "I'm happy with this role."
"The front seven were getting such a good rush that we could force them to throw some bad balls and pick them off," Mendez said. "Without them, none of this would have happened."
Mendez, a red-shirt junior, tied the school record with three interceptions in the first half as the K-State Wildcats posted their first five-game winning streak since 1934. He got his fourth interception in the fourth period and got his hands on what could have been a fifth, which would have tied the Big Eight record.
Nebraska's Ed Stewart intercepted Arizona State freshman quarterback Garrick McGee's pass on the first play of the game. Nebraska's David Seizys recovered a bobbled punt by Arizona State late in the first half and Derek Brown scored on a 9-yard run on the next play. Calvin Jones rushed for 111 yards on 12 carries for the "Huskers."
can't wait to call my parents."
"We ran the ball well in the first half," said coach Bill Snyder. "You get 28 points on the scoreboard against anybody in a half and you've done something right, and you shut somebody out, that's not bad either.
Missouri has lost eight in a row dating back to last season. The Tigers were unable to keep Indiana tailback Brett Law from rushing for 240 yards in his first college start.
The Wildcats posted a 28-0 halftime lead.
"We were like a sieve on defense," said defensive coordinator Don Lindsey. The Tigers gave up 528 vards.
Oklahoma State used big plays to beat Tulsa. The Cowboys were out gained 414 yards to 172 and made only nine first downs to Tulsa's 23.
"It was frustration with a capital F."
said Tulsa coach Dave Rader.
"There's been some frustrating ones, but this one's probably No. 1."

Men's Soccer Club claims tie, victory
By David Bartkoski Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas Men's Soccer Club had one easy victory and one touchtie this weekend playing on soggy fields at Shenk Complex.
Kansas trounced Central Missouri State 5-1 yesterday and battled Nebraska-Omaha to a 1-1 tie Saturday.
Team coach and president, Brain Robey, Gladstone Mo., senior, said he was pleased with the club's performance this weekend.
"It was real good," he said. "It's where we need to be for where we're at in our schedule."
In the game Saturday, Kansas fell behind 1-0 in the second half when Jeff Gillespie of Nebraska-Omaha got a kick from the right side of Kansas' kick.
Trey Thompson, Tuison senior, (white) ends up on the ground next to a University of Nebraska-Omaha player . Kansas tied Nebraska-Omaha Saturday and defeated Central Missouri State yesterday 5-1.
Darren Hendricks, Enterprise, Ala., junior, who played goal in the second half, said he could not do much about the goal.
"I tried to cut off the angle," he said. "But any time they're that close in the box, it's going to be hard to stop them."
A yellow card can be given to a player when he commits a flagrant foul, breaks a rule or talks back to a referee. Two yellow cards equals a red card,
which signifies a player's ejection.
Kansas faced another problem when Andy Martin, Prairie Village senior, was ejected for being given two yellow cards in the game, leaving the team one player short the rest of the game.
Martin said he was not immediately ejected because of a mix-up by the referees but was kicked out minutes later when one of the referees checked his notes.
The Jayhawks scored moments after Martin's ejection on a kick by Birgir Arnarson, Akureyri, Iceland, sophomore, that hit the top crossbar and bounced in.
Team secretary Jason Fauss, Lenexa sophomore, said he thought the loss of Martin had a more positive than negative effect on Kansas.
"It forced us to play at a higher level." he said.
Armerson said he thought the refeeres let the game get out of control, but Kansas let the victory slip out of its hand.
"It was a hard, physical game," he said. "We could have won the game."
Martin said the referees should have known Nebraska-Ormaha and Kansas would play a physical game.
"They were hitting us, and the refs weren't calling anything," he said. "Frustration set in, and we gave a little of it to back in the game."
"The game showed that there were two quality teams," he said. "Any time we come down here and tie, that's a victory for us."
Kansas had less trouble with Central Missouri State yesterday as five
Nebraska-Omaha coach Bob Wright said he was happy with the tie.
Jayhawks scored in a 5-1 victory.
Arnarson and Abdul Alharbi,
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, sophomore,
scored Kansas' first two goals.
Alharib said he had to make a decision before scoring his goal.
"I was thinking about passing it, but they had a guy marking my teammate," he said. "I saw the goatie and saw I had a clear shot at the goal."
Central Missouri State's Sven Stojanovich scored the Mules' only goal of the game to make it 3-1.
Corky Krier, Emporia freshman, scored the final goal of the first half, making the score 3-0.
"I had a choice between getting to get a penalty on them or trying to reach out and kick it," he said. "I just tried to get it by the goal."
Kansas pulled away on goals by Dave Morris, Overland Park first-year law student, and Travis Foxx, Emporia junior.
"This was a good tuneup for us," he said. "We'll have to step it up a notch. Each weekend, we need to play a little better."
Kansas sophomore Lora Richardson steals second base against Pittsburg State in the Kansas softball tournament. The Jayhawks played at Jayhawk field this weekend and won their fourth game 5-0.
Robey said he was a bit concerned when the game still was scoreless after about 20 minutes of play but was satisfied with the result.

The Kansas softball team extended its winning streak to six games with victories over Nebraska-Kearney, Crowder, Southwest Missouri State and Pittsburgh State this weekend at Javakhwk Field.
Senior Jill Bailey won her second game of the fall season on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Crowder. Stephani Williams came in for the save.
Freshman Beth Robinson pitched on Saturday and yesterday, earning 3-0 and 5-0 victories over Nebraska-Kearney and Pittsburg State.
Williams was the starting pitcher in yesterday's first game and struck out four batters. She gave up three hits and shut out Southwest Mississippi 5-0.
Kansas coach Kalum Haack said that his team looked better yesterday on than on Saturday but that it needed to
improve.
"We're not hitting the ball like we did last week, and we can't afford to make any mental errors," Haack said after yesterday's games. "Today was better than yesterday, and we got some of our good hitters hitting the ball.
"Shanna Cole really came out of her shell. She struggled for the first three games, and as a senior, I think she wants to lead the team by example."
"I've been waiting to hit the ball like that for a long time," she said. "I was real set at the plate, and I was real focused. It worked."
Cole had two doubles, a triple and three RBIs against Pittsburg State. She also stole second base after reaching first on a fielder's error. Cole was it her best game of the fall.
"We weren't hitting the ball that hard," she said. "But I think we came out today with a lot more concentration. That's what made the difference."
Robinson, who pitched two victories in two consecutive games said the team was "really good."
Cole said that the team played with more intensity in the final game of the tournament than it had before.
"Everything is different from high school," Robinson said. "The mound is 45 feet from the plate instead of 40 feet." "And that's a lot of difference," I think I'm finally get-
"The past two weekends I've been hitting the ball pretty well," Carpenter said. "I'm really comfortable being at the fourth spot in the lineup, but I'm still adjusting to playing catcher. The water I'll be able to say like catching."
The Jayhawks scored three runs in the fourth inning against Pittsburgh state. Sophomore Lora Richardson reached first off of a fielder's error, then stole second base. She advanced to third off of a sacrifice飞 by freshman Katie Morgan. Sophomore outfielder Joy Herrera had a sacrifice飞, allowing Richardson to tag up for the first run of the inning.
Freshman Michelle Duthil singled and advanced to second on a single by junior Ty Saxby. With runners on first and second, Cole hit her triple, driving in Duthil and Saxby for the final two runs scored in the inning.
The Jayhawks are now 6-0. They play in the Big Eight Tournament next weekend.
Sophomore Krissy Carpenter went 3-for-3 yesterday against Southwest Missouri with two singles, a double and two RBIs. She said she was satisfied with her performance.
"I always felt good about her and her potential," Haack said. "She pitches the ball well. She moves it around and doesn't worry about how many strikeouts she gets. It makes me feel good that I recruited her."
Haack said he was pleased with the Robinson's abilities.

Minnesota beats Rovals 4-0, holds Brett hitless
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — It wasn't the milestone the fans came to see, but Tom Kelly won his 523rd game yesterdays and the winning Minnesota manager.
George Brett went hitless for the first time in five games and remained four hits shy of 3,000 as John Smiley pitched a five-hitter and the Twins beat Kansas City 4-0.
The win left Minnesota technically alive in the American League West race.

He also said he was disinterested
"I'd like to have won a few more games this year," said Kelly, 523-431 in more than six years of coaching the Twins. "I'd certainly trade this number here for seven or eight more someplace else."
that he passed Sam Mele on the Twins' all-time managerial list.
Sunley, 15-9, has not allowed a runner past second base in 201-3 innings. He struck out five, walked none and kept Brett quiet.
Brett said, "I'm disappointed that I didn't get any closer today. There's no guarantee that I'm going to get a hit in every game. I don't want to sit. I want to as many at-bats as I can."
"He just had a couple at 'emms today."
Kelly said. "I hope he makes it."
Shane Mack hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Chris Hearn, 2-2.
who walked seven in 5-2 3-innings and allowed five hits. In addition to Mack's 16th homer, Brian Harper hit his ninth.
Notes:
The Twins had not hit a home run in eight games, and it was their first victory.
Other milestones: three Twins have a chance to score 100 runs this season for the first time in team history. Mack, 97, Kirby Puckett, 99, and Chuck Knoblanc. 99.
■ Puckett needs a run and a honer to reach another milestone: 300 average, 200 hits, 100 runs, 100 RBIs and 20 honers. It would be the second time for Puckett; only seven others have done it twice.
