Jayhawks split with Wildcats
Sports Writer
By RUSTY FABER
When the Kansas softball team lost Rhonda Clarke over the summer, most opponents looked at Kansas as a team would be able to score a lot of runs on.
But freshman Tracey Bunge has been nothing short of brilliant so far this fall, not allowing a single earned run in the first four games of the season.
This past weekend again proved scoreless for the Jayhawks, but they got lucky and were able to split a headier with the Kansas State Wildcats.
The Jayhawks, however, have scored only six runs in those four games and have not scored a run in the last 29 innings they have played.
The Jayhawks were awarded a forfeit victory after 15 scoreless innings of play because of a substitution error by the K-State coaching staff. An illegally re-evented player from the K-State bench prompted the KU
protest, giving the Jayhawks their second win of the season.
In the first game, KU had five hits including two singles by center fielder Pam Cox, Liz Commino and Becky Ascencio collected singles late in the game for the Jayhawks, but they were left stranded by a tough K-State defense. Erin Hannigan ripped a pinch-hit single in the bottom of the 14th inning, giving KU their best chance for a victory, but a costly base-running mistake cut down all hopes of a win until the 14th-inning forfeit decision.
The Wildcats won the second game of the double-header with an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh innings, giving K-State a 1-0 decision and dropping KU back down to the .500 mark.
picked up the win in the second game, giving up nine hits, striking out four and walking two. She raised her fall record to 3-1 with the shut-out victory.
"We ran ourselves out of several scoring opportunities with some costly base running," Coach Bob Stancill said. "We had plenty of base runners in both games but our inexperience just showed through. Tracey Bunge pitched extremely well for us, but we're just not scoring enough runs."
In the second game, KU collected two hits from Hammigan and a pair of hits from second baseman Deb Randal, but not even their bats could generate a KU run. The Jayhawks collected five other hits, all singles, from Commino, Cox, Bunge, Candi Boyer and Sheila Connolly.
The Jayhawks will try to improve their record Friday when they travel to Chicago. The Nets will be another double-header. KU will host Cowley County at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Darrell Scomers stroked a one-out single, his first hit of the season, and brought in Tom Pettis with the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning last night, lifting the California Angels to their second straight victory over the Kansas City Royals, 2-1.

Field goals increase
Kallmeyer destroys KU record
By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Editor
Bruce Kadmeier is a place-kicker on a team whose punter gets a lot of press.
Bucky Scribbler has been a premier performer for the Jayhawks, but this season Kallmeyer is pushing him for the headlines.
"I just try to do my job out there," said Kallmeyer, who stands 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. "Kicking is very specialized and you only have one thing to do . . . kick it through the uphights."
And kicking it through the uprights is just what Kallmever does.
Kallmeyer came to Kansas on the heels of the most prolific field goal kicker in the school's history, Mike Hubach. In his freshman year, Kallmeyer showed signs of future greatness when he tied the Kansas record for field goals in a season with seven. There was some concern, however, because Kallmeyer did not hit a field goal of more than 40 yards.
"I FEEL really confident in the longer field goals now." Kallmeyer says he has more in practice now than we used to. The team you kick long, the better you get."
That is exactly how his career has gone at Kansas.
His sophomore season saw Kallmeyer destroy the single-season record, making 12 of 14 field goals on the season. Kallmeyer, who was named to the Football News sophomore All-American team, set a Big Eight and Kansas record by kicking five field goals against Nebraska, two of which went 49 yards, also a Kansas record. He also went 16 of 16 on extra points.
"Bruce just goes out and does his job and that's all you can ask," head coach Don Dambrough said before the season. He came through for us in some crucial situations last year and I know we can count on him in the future."
The future has been the present for the Jayhawks with Kallmeyer connecting on all four of his field goal attempts this season. He has hit on field goals of 39, 40, 48 and 49 yards. He ranks eight in the country in field-goal kicking.
IN THE Texas Christian game,
Kallmeyer took sole possession of the field-goal record book when he hit a 49-yard field goal midway through the second quarter to break Hubach's career record of 21 field goals.
Hubach set the record in a four-year career and was 21 of 48 during that
span. Kallmeyer, on the other hand, is now 23 of 29 in a little more than two seasons.
"I was aware I was close," Kallmyer said. "But I also knew I had almost two full years to break the ceiling, and knew it would happen eventually."
Kallmeyer's skills are not shown just on the football field however. Kallmeyer is a petroleum engineering student and just two summers working in the field.
"I'M AN engineering major so I don't rely on football for my future." Kallmeyer said. "So much can happen that you don't have control over that you have to have something to fall back on."
Kallmeyer's goals right now are to continue his consistency, but he also wants a chance at some longer field goals.
"I've been kicking longer field goals in practice and I've been hitting on them. The coaches have confidence in me and these two help me out."
"I don't know about longer field goals," Kallmyer said. "I thought last week was a good opportunity, but the coaches decided to play conservative.
The Jayhawk just hope that Kallmeyer continues to help them out.
KU golfers take third; Wilkin shines
By BILL HORNER Sports Writer
Rob Wilkin is off to another good start.
As he did in last spring's opener, the Kansas golf opened the fall tournament season in spectacular style, firing a 72-hole tournament record and leading the Jayhawks to a third-place finish in the University of Northern Iowa Golf Classic in Cedar Falls, Iowa, this past weekend.
It was Wilkin's second major college title at Kansas. His first was the Gulf Coast Invitational at Padre Island, the team's first appearance of last spring.
"When you play 72 holes and the margin is that close, you've got to be a
As a team, Kansas finished the event at 1,189, three shots in back of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and one shot behind runner-up Iowa.
little disappointed," said men's assistant coach Kent Weiser, who accompanied the team on the trip. "We could have won it, but we would have won it. We were disappointed."
Weisler's sentiments reflected the fact that Kansas is playing with perhaps its strongest team ever, and that, at least on paper, the Jayhawks that they mostly small northern schools that took part in the tournament.
"We had more talent than any team there," Weiser said. But that's not to take anything away from Iowa or Illinois. They weren't pushovers. They played well. On the other hand, Rob was a medalist. Anytime one of your players is a medalist, you've got to be happy."
team came back with an 18-hole total of
20 to do the final round, earning their
first-round berth.
Kansas opened the event with a 2-hole total of 444 strokes, good enough for fourth place after the first day. After shooting 448 the next day, the
"One guy on one hole could have made up those three shots," Weiser said. "That was the difference in the tournament. We're upset we couldn't finish higher, but you're never satisfied until you're first."
Wilkin's 286 total earned medalist honors by six shots and broke the old tournament record by three shots. Dean Frankiewicz took tenth place individually with a total of 300 strokes. Jeff Sheppard finished at 307, and Dan Mullen and Brad Demo carded identical 309s.
"Rob was totally outstanding," Weisler said. "The way he uses his head on the golf course, he can beat you before he even tees it up. I look for him to be in good year. His win makes up for the disappointment of the team's finish."
