Sports (1987) (2013) 140 tomorrow, 10:43 Page 16 University Daily Kansan, September 17, 1962 Quarterback Frank Scurer must have a better game against the Texas Christian Horned Frogs if the Jayhawks are to come back from their opening loss to Wichita State. Scurer was 13 of 25 for 128 yards in the season opener and is now in 11th place on the all-time passing list at Kansas, Royals lose to Seattle, still up by two By United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Simpson's two-triple in the ninth inning snapped a 2-1 tie and lifted the Seattle Mariners to a franchise-record seventh in the season's decision last night over the Kansas City Royals. Despite the defeat, Kansas City remained two games ahead of California in the American League West due to the Angels' 2-1 loss to Toronto. Todd Cruz led on the ninth against Dennis Leonard, 10-5, with a walk and took third on a hil-and-run single by Julio Cruz. Cruz took second on an uncontested steal and Simpson followed with a triple off the left-field wall to snap Kansas City's five-game win streak. Floyd Bannister, Ed Vandoerb and Mike Stanton combined to hold the Royals to three hits over the first eight innings. Vandeerb raised his average to 15.2 and Stanton pitched the ninth for his seventh save. SEATLITE'S BEST previous finish in the club's five-year career came in 1991 when the Mariners finished 67-95 to place sixth in the West. Seattle took a 1-0 lead on an unearned run in the second inning when Richie Riiche Zachared from a throwing error by U.L. Washington, took second on a single by A Cowens, went to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a fielder's choice by Bobby Brown. Kansas City took a 2-1 lead in the third with two unearned runs when Willie Wilson reached base on a throwing error by third baseman Manny Castillo and scored on a triple by Washington, who then came home on a sacrifice fly by George Brett. Seattle tied it in the fourth. Singles by Bruce Bochte, Al Cowens and Rick Sweet loaded the bases and a sacrifice fly by Brown scored the run. IN TORONTO, the Blue Jay became the winning club in the team's six-year history, but Manager Bobby Cox said he would rather be out of last place. "I know we broke a record, but I also know we're better than that record indicates," he said after his troops outlasted the California Angels 2-1 in an 12-inning pitched duel. Wille Upshaw, who has been struggling at the plate, drove in the winning run with a sharp single down the right-field line. He scored on an error by right-fielder Reggie Jackson. Jackson, retreating toward the warning track, got his glove on Griffin's shot to right field but not back. The victory, the third one-run victory in a row, gave the Jays a 68-78 record on the season to beat. The Nets were just outgained by the "THE CLUB is improved because of the experience factor but we've lost a lot of games (29) by one run, much like the one we won tonight," said Cox. Dave Stieb and Roy Lee Jackson, 7-8, combined to hold the Angels three hits. Griffin led off the Toronto 12th and reached first on an error by right-fielder Riggie Jackson, who went to the warning track for a fly ball and let it drop. After Andy Hassler replaced Luis Sanchez, 6-3, Barry Bonnell batted for Dave Baker and was walked intentionally. Lloyd Mossey fled and Griffin moved to third when Bomber took second on the throw. But the team managed to secure a win. Scoreboard AMERICAN LEAGUE Baseball W L Pct.

In the first game, Bunge stopped the Kansan through five innings, pitched two-hit, no-run ball before Leslie Borden spotted her shutout bid with a solo home run in the top half of the sixth Sports Writer In the second game, the Jayhawks weren't so fortunate, losing a 2-0 game, despite a solid defensive showing and one-hit pitching by Bunge. "Tracy pitched a very nice ballgait for us and our defense gave her great support," said Coach Stancilf. "We had a good offensive line, which allowed us to count, consider it's so early in the season." KU took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning on third baseman Becky Craft's RBI single. Pam Cox, who had doubled off Kansan starter and lower Mickey Clarensau, scored from second on The Jayhawks, playing strong defense during the middle innings, came up with four more runs on the back field. a single through the Kansan infield and was sacrificed to second by Kim Cobb. Right-field Ann Brent singled Boyer to third before Michele George and Cox hit back-to-back players, driving in Boye and Brent. Two crucial Kansan errors passed through the plate, giving the Jayawks a 5-1 lead. Liz Commino scored KU's final run of the afternoon on Cobb's line-drive single. That was all that Bunge needed. She had little trouble against the battles in the seventh and earned the victory. Bills come back to edge Vikings In the second game, cold KU bats could not muster a run and managed only five hits, allowing Clarensau, 1-1, to get her first victory of the fall season. Bunge, 1-1, got the loss, despite giving up only one hit and facing just two batters more than the minimum number possible. Peggy Vilhauer had the lone Kansan hit in the second inning. Vilhauer's hit scored Shira Chacey and was followed by two Jayhawk errors that allowed the final run. The Jayhawks will play a double-bheader Sunday at Holocaum Sports Complex, and Bunge is expected to pitch the Jayhawks will play a big eight in preparation for the Big Eight season in the spring. Leading hitters for the *Jawhaws* were Becky Asceno and Commino, who got first-innings hits. By United Press International ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (UPD) / Joe Ferguson's third touchdown pass of the game, an 11-yard strike to Jerry Butler with 2:48 remaining last night, capped Buffalo's rally from a 19-0 deficit and lifted the Bills to a 23-23 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Ferguson, who connected on 25 of 45 passes for 330 yards, made Burie his favorite target all night, and the third-year wide receiver from Iowa had one reception for 111 yards. The Bills raised their record to 2-0. The Bills, trailing 21-26, went 94 yards on their game-winning drive, which ended with Butler's leaping catch behind cornerback John Turner in the right corner of the end zone. Ferguson's performance overshadowed a standout performance by Minnesota quarterback Tommy Kramer, who tossed a pair of touchdown passes to reserve tight end Bob Bruer. Kramer's key target was wide receiver Sammy White, who caught nine passes for 142 yards and made several catches that kept Minnesota drives alive. Minnesota, 1-1, took a 9-0 lead early in the second period as Kramer hit Bruer with a 22-yard scoring pass. KU wants to make TCU pay for loss Bv GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Editor It still hurts, but if anything can be positive they'd never mind. They may be that the jackwhackers have finally woken up. "There has been more spark in practice then we've had in the past two weeks," Gary Coleman, KU defensive co-captain, said. "It was a bad loss, but it definitely helped our attitude." Head coach Don Fambrough and the rest of the Jayhawks hope that this enthusiasm carries through to the game as Kansas hosts Texas at Memorial Stadium, regionally televised game at Memorial Stadium. "I think we're ready, but I said that last week at this time, too," Fambrouch said. "We've been stopping our good play on Friday, but we need to carry that through the game on Saturday." "WE HAVE all tried to figure out what happened last week, but we just don't know. We didn't play with enthusiasm and we weren't aggressive. That's the biggest mystery of all." If the Jayhawks are to be successful, they must be aggressive and take the game to the Horned Frogs. TCU is coming off an impressive 24-9 victory over Utah State last weekend. "They have some outstanding athletes" Brougha said. "We expect them to come in fine." "That is the goal," he said. *You have to play every game at 100 percent capacity, you must know who you are, you are capable of being able to win.* The Jayhawks need to solve two problems that were very obvious in the home opener against WSU; an inconsistent offense and a defense that failed to get to the passer. “AT TIMES in the first game, we looked like a good offensive football team,” Fambrough said. “That is how I thought we would look. But then something happened and I not know what it was.” Junior quarterback Frank Seurier leads the offense for Kansas. He completed 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards against the Shockers, including eight passes in a row at one point in the game. Sophomore Dino Bell led the rushers with 83 yards on 19 carries. Bell, however, is suffering from a hip-pointer and will not be at full speed for the TCU game. Garfield Taylor, last year's leading ground gainer, is expected to see a lot of success then he did in the team's season opener. "Dino will still start, but you'll see a lot more of Garfield." Fambrough said. Eenie Wright, who caught four passes for 31 yards in KU's first game, is the only other player injured. Wright is not expected to be at 100 yards in TCU game, but Fambrough said he would play. THE DEFENSE remains a question mark for the Jayhawks. For three quarters against the Shockers, they kept WSU quarterback Prince McJunkins in check. In the fourth quarter though, McJunkins and the Shockers went wild. The 'Hawks gave up 204 yards during the first three quarters, and an additional 137 in the final quarter. "In the second half they took the fight to us," enough said. "We have to be the ones to do the attack." "We have to be more aggressive on defense and go out and attack their防线. If we don't do that, we're going to get hurt." Three prayers on the Kansas defense recorded 10 or more tackles in the home opener. Eddie Simmons led the Jayhawks in tackles with 12. Mike Arbanas had 11 and Coleman had 10. "We know they're going to try to run on us," Coleman said. "If we shut the run down though, they still have an All-American receiver in Stanley Washington." TCU 18 expected to run the ball, since they ran TCU 72 times in their open against atlush ATHLETICS. Glen Stone, sports information director for the Horseged Frogs, said that one of the reasons they didn't throw the ball as much was the inability to get the ball to Washington. "Nothing is physically wrong with Washington. "Stone said. He got hepped pretty good, but they're not going to let him." The Kansas kicking game, as it was for most of last season, was superb in the opener. Bucky Scriner leans the Big Eight in pinting with a 44-yard net average. Scriner has never failed to lead the Big Eight in pinting since coming to Kansas. Place-kicker Bruce Kullmacher was also on target, hitting on his only goal goal and extra point attempts. Kallmacher needs just one more field goal to tie Mike Hubach for the all-time lead. THE KICK return game, which was a week spot for the Jayhawks all last year, may finally be resolved. Darren Green leads the Big Eight in scoring, but he is not returning. He is currently 10th on the NCAA list. Most of the Jayhawks said that the loss would help them get fired up for the rest of the games this season and that it might have given the team the kick that it needed. "I think we'll be more fired up than we were a week ago," Coleman said. "We're better team players." Fambrough said, "I wasn't pleased with the way anyone played last week. I'm still miserable about it and I won't feel any better until we win a game. "We have to come out and play. I think we can do it." JAYHAWK NOTES — CBS will be televising this week's game on a regional basis throughout the Big Eight and Southwest conferences areas. Vern Lundgiven and Danny Davis an -ex-Houston team. Another television network, ESPN, will broadcast the Kalahoma-Kansas game on a satellite. Because of the television broadcast, game time has been moved up one hour to 12:30 p.m. The Kansas-TCU series stands at 15-4-3 in the NCAA college football rankings. TCU holds a advantage among those teams. Kernin Well, KU's All-Big Eight tailback, has to sit out one more game after tomorrow, has been working daily and looks to be in the best shape of his career at Kansas. Kansas goes on the road next week to play the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, Ky. The Jayhawks return home the week after in their game against Tulsa in Memorial Stadium. In last week's notes, we stated that the KU radio network originated from KUWN-KLZR. In other words, it was an unofficial KU station. By United Press International Jazz's Robinzine found dead KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police reported yesterday that Utah Jazz basketball forward Bill Robiniczma was found dead after apparently committing suicide in the back seat of his parked car. Authorities said that there would be an autopsy later today but that carbon monoxide poisoning was thought to have been the cause of death. Robinizeine she wired a missing persons report with police Wednesday morning after she returned home and found her husband missing from the house that he might attempt suicide, police said. At 12:10 p.m. m. yesterday, police were called to a building in a storage area on the city's southeast side where they found Robinette's body in the body of a puppy. The body was taken to Truman Medical Center. Robinize's contract with the Utah Jazz expired at the end of last year, and he had not signed a new agreement with the Jazz. Laura Wilson had been no negotiations about a new contract. Herlovich said Robinize, the team's player representative, had been thinking about playing in Italy this year but not been cut from the team. Robinize, who attended DePaul University, was picked by the Kansas City Kings in the round of the 1975 draft. He was traded to Cleveland in a three-way deal with New York in 1980. Cleveland traded him to Dallas in October 1980 and Dallas traded him to Utah in August 1981. Predictions
