KU settles for tie with 'Cats
The game came down to a questionable fumble call and a clock that didn't work in the final quarter, but the Jayhawks still managed to escape with a 13-13 tie against the Kentucky
The fumble call came as Kansas was moving the ball down for the go-ahead touchdown, trailing Kentucky by a score of 13-10. Frank Seurer, on third and five from the Kentucky 23, threw in the flat to tight end Ernie Wright, who was bit as soon as he touched the football.
The referees, however, ruled that Wright had been hit by the football and that Kentucky had recovered the fumble.
The official, who ruled the play a tumble, was one of a handful of people on that side of the field.
"ERNIE DID not catch the ball," said Morris Watts, offensive coordinator. "The play was right in front of us and he never had control of the ball."
Suerer said, "That was a very crucial call. don't think it was a very good call.
"Kentucky's defensive back, Abyd 'mobls'
made a good play, but it was an incomplete
ball."
This error by the officials was small compared with the waxy the game was controlled after the attack, and the hostile team's score was higher.
It was a constant hassle for the Kansas sideline to get any information on how much time was left in the game. Even Seurer, who was playing in the first quarter, kepting time, could not get an accurate answer.
THE TIME became a factor when Kansas got a big break. Kentucky running back George Adams fumbled, giving Kansas possession at the Kentucky 48.
Seurer hit Wayne Capers with a four-yard pass and then threw to Capers' backup, Darren Green, for a 21-yard gain to the Kentucky 23.
Seurer was then thrown for a seven-yard loss, but he got five of those back when he was run out of the rocket. Kansas, however, was forced to use its last timeout at this time.
Still unable to find out exactly how much time was left in the game, Seurer hit a diving Bobby Johnson at the Kentucky five to set up first and goal. Seurer was sacked on the next play, and with time running out, Coach Don Fambrough brought in the field goal squad.

brought said. "Even when we kicked the field goal, we weren't sure how much time was left"
After Bruce Kallmeyer, who has kicked six straight field goals this season, connected on a 27-yard field goal to tie the score. Fambroug was told there was seven seconds left in the contest. However, when the official time of the score was given, it went down as 20 seconds.
"WE TOLD Frank to go for the touchdown or throw it away," Fambrough said. "He got him."
Searer said, "The clock really affected us in the last quarter. I was always looking for a referee to find out how much time was left and he couldn't figure it out.
"I don't think the clock going out was an accident."
In all fairness to Kentucky, however, these
things do happen at times and the Wildcats did play an inspired game for the first 36 minutes of the game.
The Jawhaws, in fact, lucky to ever have a chance at winning the game. Kentucky owned both the offensive and defensive lines in the second quarter, and if it hadn't been for an illegal motion penalty, the Wildcats would have led by a 20-3 total at halftime.
hey a 500 book marathon.
"You have to give Kentucky a lot of credit," Fambrough said. "They took our running game totally away from us."
Kentucky held Kansas to 86 net yards rushing. If it had not been for the passing game and three turnovers, it wouldn't have been close.
But that was the irony of it.
With a great performance by the Kentucky defense against the run and an even better performance by Seurer, the media and fans went away from the game talking about two things.
JAYHAWK NOTES-KU linebacker Mike Arbanas led the way for the Jayhawks on defense, Arbanas, who celebrated his 21st birthday Saturday, had 15 tackles for the Jayhawks. Linebacker Eddie Simmons and Mike Gentry tied for second with 11 tackles anice.
Kerwin Bell, KU's All-Big-Elef running back, will return to the Kansas team this week. Bell, who coaches is in the best condition of his career, will be available to play in the KU-Tulsa
Wayne Capers tied a school record with his nineceptions Saturday. Capers, who had only two catches before the game, scored the first two inning and game on a one-vard pass from Frank Seurer.
The Jayhawks' junior varsity squad will open its season at 3:00 p.m. today. The game will be played at Memorial Stadium.
Seurer puts life into Jayhawk offense
By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Editor
Quarterback Frank Seurer sat at his locker and said he did not throw the ball as well as he wanted to.
But if Seurer wasn't at the top of his game, he was verr. very close.
Seurer completed 25 of 37 passes for 260 yards, all of which were career bests. But the main thing that Seurer showed was his ability to come up with the big play.
With Kansas trailing 13-3, the Jayhawks took over on their 40-yard line with 50 left in the third quarter. Seurer started the drive with a 20-yard completion to tight end Ernie Wright. Then on both and 19 in the same driver, Seurer completed a 25-yard pass to Russ Bastin. Seurer kept the drive alive with a 19-yard completion to Wayne Capers on third and 12. Seurer and Capers again connected on a one-yard pass to give the Jayhawks their lone touchdown.
"WE HAD to have that play," Seurer said. "It was tough getting through Kentucky on short yardage, so we used a play we put in this week to get a touchdown.
"But Kentucky still had good coverage on the
play.and Capers.came up and made a fine catch
Seurer, however, wasn't through. Seurer, who is considered the best quarterback in the Big Eight and who ex-KU assistant coach John Hadi compared to Joe Namath, took over where he left when Kentucky running back George Calipari tackled and the Hawks took over on their own 48.
Seurer hit Capens with his ninth catch of the afternoon, tying a school record, to start the drive. After a 21-yard pass to Darren Green, Seurer hit a diving Bobby Johnson for a 20-yard gain. But after being sacked for the third time, all Seurer could do was hold the football for Bruce Kalmeyer to kick the tying goal as time was running out.
"I SHOULD have thrown the ball on that last play," Seurer said. "No one was open, but I should have thrown it out of bounds."
"A lot of the passes were high percentage passes and they gave us a lot of the short stuff and that helped. The line did a good job and it was easy for me to see my receivers."
Another thing that was impress'-e in Seurer's performance was the "cool" with which he picked out his receivers. Seurer connected with 10 different receivers during the game.
Seurer has shown steady improvement since the Jayhawks lost to the Nebraska Cornshuskers last year. This season, Seurer is now 50 of 79 for 595 yards. His percentage is 63 percent, which would give him the best passing percentage for a single season ever by a KU quarterback.
"FRANK DID a great job." Watts said. "He made so many big plays at the end, third and 19, third and 12, that it was unbelievable."
Searer, who doubled his completion total for the present season, also moved into third place on the all time Kansas pass list, surpassing Ray Evans, who had 2,368 career yards. Searer now has 2,591 yards in his career and is only 223 yards behind the average. Searer is on top of the Kansas pass list with 5,340.
Searser also is almost half way to his season total of last year when he passed for 1,199 yards. With eight games remaining, Searser would need more than six points per game to win a single season ever by a Kansas quarterback.
Seurer should get a big boost offensively this week when running back Kerrin Bell returns to the Jayhawk lineup. Although Dino Bell and Dave Gereux have done a good job at tailback, Kerrin Bell gives Seurer and Kansas another big threat.
Tennis team wins two matches to open year

Opening their season in impressive fashion, the KU women's team swept both of their matches Saturday at Western Illinois in Macomb. III.
"It was a great weekend," Coach Scott Perelman said. "It is pretty rewarding to beat two good teams to start the season off."
The Jayhawks were up against DePaul in the opening match Saturday morning and won convincingly, 8-1.
Senior Mauren Guilfoil, the Jayhawks' No. 1 player, was defeated, 7-6, 2-6, by Michele Ewers, but the rest of the team won handily. No. 2 player Steffanie Dicke whipped Theresa Saladi. 5-1; 6-0. No. 3 Lauria Runnels beat Tara Hicks. 5-3; 6-2. No. 4 Marke Molek. 5-3; 6-2. No. 5 Marne Jensen beat Linda Habez, 6-0; and Eileen Guilfoil beat Jamie O'Connell, 6-1, 6-2, in the No. 6 match.
In doubles action, Dicke and Runnels beat Ewers and Saladi, 6-2, 6-2, in the No.1 match, while Maureen Guilfoil and Jensen won in No.2 doubles against Molek and Parenti, 6-0, 6-0,Parri and Beth Braindair won in No.3 doubles, 6-3, 6-0, against Habe and O'Connell.
In the second match, KU faced Western Illinois, which came into the weekend with an 8-1 record. They had beaten teams such as Bradley and Washington. The Jayhaws whipped the host team, 6-3.
"We played well considering that we started at 9 a.m. after the long drive," Perelman said. "DePaul had a strong 0.1 player, but they did not play well. It was good to get the first win under our belts."
Maureen Guilford lost in No. 1 singles to Donena Brummett, 6-4, 6-1; No. 2 Dice beat Kris Legatowi, 7-5, 7-5; and No. 3 Runnels whipped Kris Borowy, 6-3, 6-2.
In No. 4 singles, Parr applied Allison Bellew,
6-2; 6-1. No 5 Jensen beat Karuynen Kulu
psschmidm 6.1-7.5; but No 6 Eileen Guilfoil lost to Cynthia Movel. 6.2-6.0.
In No. 1 doubles, Dicke and Runnels beat Brummet; and Borowy, 7-6, 6-2; Maureen Guilford and Jensen beat Legatwalt and Bellew, 6-0, 1-6, 7-6, in No. 2 doubles; and Parr and Brainard lost to Kuperschmidt and Maloney, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
"Runnels played well," said Perelman. "Parr played up to her potential in the afternoon match and Jensen played well despite a bad elbow that she's going to have surgery on in October.
"I'm real pleased that we got off to a good start. It proves to the girls that the hard work pays off. One of the girls said that they played a school the caliber of Western Illinois last year and lost, 9-0. I think we were humgrier than they were."
Giants' victory tightens race; Royals defeated by A's, 5-4
By United Press International
If anyone wants the National League West title, it's there for the taking.
Darrell Evans' two-run homer highlighted a three-run fifth inning that carried San Francisco to a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles and sent the division into a free-for-all.
The loss was the Dodgers' fifth in a row — all by one run — while the Giants' triumph, combined with Atlanta's 3-2 loss to San Diego, put San Francisco into contention. The Clippers beat Los Angeles for
Fred Breining, 11-5, scattered six hits in 5 1/3 innings to gain the victory, with AI Holland going for 27-9.

The Dodgers cut the lead in the sixth when Dusty Baker walked, moved to second on a single by Pedro Guerro and scored on Steve Garvey's single. The Dodgers added another run in the seventh when Bill Russell walked, reached third on pinch hitter Ron Roenicek's single and scored when Baker grounded into a fielder's choice.
The start of the game was delayed two hours and 53 minutes after night-long rains left the field soggy. It took ground keepers nearly three hours to get the field into playing condition. The Giants played the game under protest because of the condition of the field.

At Cincinnati, Nolan Ryan allowed five hits and struck out 11 over eight innings, sparking the Astros. Ryan, 18-10, raised his career strikeout to 3.494, just 24 behind the record of 3.508 behead by Walter Johnson. It also marked the 14th time Ryan has registered 10 or more strikeouts in a game, which is a record. Bert Roberte pitched the ninth for the Astros.
In the American League East, Eddie Murray drove in two runs, one with his 31st home run, and Rich Dauer and Dom Ferdau outed three hits apace to lead Baltimore to a 8-2 triumph over Milwaukee. The victory enabled the Orioles to climb within two games of the first-place

At Arlington, Texas, Larry Parrish hit a three-run homer and George Wright collected three hits and scored two runs to back the five-hit pitching of Charlie Hough. The loss left the first-place Angels 3/12 games ahead of Kansas City. Ken Forsch, 13-11, took the loss.
At Detroit, Leen Barker struck out nine in seven innings to notch his 16th victory and center fielder Rick Manning made a game-saving catch for the last out of the game to lead the Indians. Manning scored twice and force over the barrier to catch a drive of the hit pitcher John Wookenfuss.
At Chicago, Gary Gaetti hit a home run and Bobby Castillo scattered five hits to lead the Twins. Gaetti opened the second with his 28th homer to break a 1-1 tie and pin the loss in Rich Dotson, 11-14, who allowed nine hits in going the distance. Castillo, 12-11, hurled his sixth complete game in 24 starts and has now won his last four starts.

Management optimistic after talks; players' union claims no progress
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.—Although the NFL Management Council was optimistic after six hours of talks with the Players Association yesterday, the union said no progress was made in the first meeting between the two sides in nine days.
The Management Council's attempt to settle the 7-day-old strike centered on its guarantee of a £1.6 billion package to go to the striking players over the next five years. The union, in the first regular-season strike in the NFL's 63-year history, wasn't impressed by the offer.
we made a move today, and we're hopeful and optimistic," said Jack Donlan, the Management Council's executive director. "Today we guaranteed the利润 $1.6 billion over five years. If we didn't spend all that money, we would create a fund to disperse the remaining funds."
However, Gene Upshaw, president of the Players Association, had a different opinion of the negotiations, which were at Hofstra University from 1:05 p.m. until 1:07 p.m. CDT.
"The session ended exactly as it started," said Upshaw. "We still stick to our plan of a wage-scale fund of 50 percent of the television revenues. We will not move off that."

Wichita proved its team's depth in the next race and edged the KU Lightweight Eight team
In the first race of the day, the Shockers from Wichita rowed to an easy victory over Washburn University in the Men's Four division. Wichita led from start to finish and recorded a time of 7:13.8. Washburn coasted through the finish line at 7:26.04.
our sites and cool temperatures, along with spirited music provided by the Lawrence High School Pep Band, greeted the crew from Wichita State University as they rowed to three victories on the four-event program. But the team was also forced to the host KI crew and its heavy weight eight-man squad.
More than 400 spectators lined the banks of the Kaw River Saturday afternoon to view the centennial running of the Kansas River Regatta.
with a 6:28.3 clocking, compared with the
Javahawks' 6:30.1.
Head coach Cliff Elliott was all smiles after the race and said, "These were very competitive times for so early in the season. They all worked hard to get to victory, and their time here shows that fact."
In the Women's Four competition, Wichita once again showed strength. The Shockers held off a late KU surge and won their third race of the afternoon with a time of 8:05.1. The KU-A team had a time of 8:13.9 followed by the KU-B team in 8:43.6. Washburn finished fourth with a time of 8:52.7.
The Jayhawks recorded a convincing time of 6:12:1 for the 2,000-meter course and outdistanced Wichita State (6:22:7) and Nebraska (6:31:7)
Ed Garvey, executive director of the Players Association, was joined by Upshaw and seven other members of the union's nine-man executive committee. Players attending the meeting were Upshaw of the Los Angeles Raiders, Mark Murphy of the Washington Redskins, Dan Jigges of the Chicago Bears, John Bunting of the Philadelphia Eagles, James Lofton of the Green Bay Packers, Tom Condon of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jeff Van Note of the Atlanta Falcons and Elvin Bethea of the Houston Oilers. Stan White of the Detroit Lions was absent.
Calling the strokes for the victorious KU boat was conskiw Camille Pulliam, who received the traditional Kansas River dunking after the win. Members of the eight-man crew were senior Dan Jewitt, juniors Rob Catlathy, Mike Galagher, John Kocherhops, Jeff Sommich and Keith Walberge, sophomore Sloan Morris and graduate student Cedric Pouve.
"This race makes everything worthwhile," said Elliott. "We took an early lead and never stopped."
But it was the final race, an event that highlighted the 100th anniversary of the Kansas River Regatta, that the hundreds of spectators as the KU crew won in impressive fashion.
The KU crew team, as reigning Big Eight champions, now has 41 men and 36 women participating. The team has its sights set on the Omaha Fall Invitational Oct. 31, which includes such powerhouses as Creighton, K-State, Iowa and Minnesota.

"We also told them that within these parameters we can work out other things once we have the fundamentals down," Dönlan said. He can talk about, for example, minimum salaries.
None of the 12 games scheduled for yesterday were played as the entire third week of the NFL's 16-week schedule was postponed.
"This should put to rest the issue of the $1.6 billion. We are going to spend it. Now it's up to them to regroup." Donlan said. "I think it is a positive sign."

The system needs to be changed."
Donlan said that during the past few days, the question of guaranteeing the money appeared to be a primary stumbling block in-setting the strike.
