Shockers stun KU in fourth quarter
By GINO STRIPPOLI

Unbelievable.
That's the best way to describe Wichita State's great victory over the Jayhawks, 10-5, Saturday at Tulsa. (AP)
"You can sum it up very easily," Coach Don Fambrough said. "They out-played us, they out-coached us and we lost the game."
The big play of the game was obviously Prince McJunkins' 50-yard touchdown pass to Don Dreher with 3:08 remaining in the game that gave Wichita State the victory. But there were other plays that, although they did not seem as bad, had just as much to do with the outcome.
The JAYHAWKS came out and looked as if all the pre-season billing about the offense had been correct. After the KU defense held the Shockers, KU took over on its own 24-yard line and went through the Wichita State defense with ease. The team returned to the down-play failed to score from the 1- yard line.
Kansas scored on a 6-yard pass play from Frank Searer to E.J. Jones on its next possession, which capped a six-play, 36-year drive. After the Shocker offense moved from its 20 to the Kansas 46, the Shockers were forced to punt and the Jayhawks took over on their own 20. Once again they relied for four first downs before the Shocker defense held. Bruce Kallmeyer kicked a 39-yard field goal to put the Jayhawks ahead. 10-0.
That was the last that was heard from the Kansas offense. Droped dropped, a lot of them, including three in the Jayhawks' final drive, snellled the end of any hoe for Kansas.
"We moved the ball, but something always seemed to stall our drives," said Seurer, who was 13-of-25 for 128 yards. "We can't do that and expect to win."
THE JAYHAWKS managed only seven first downs and 115 total yards in the second half, compared with 12 first downs and 156 total yards in the first half.
The biggest difference was in the passing game. Sewer was eighteen of 10 for 68 yards in the first half and only five of 15 in the second half for 95 yards. The longest pass was the game, and it was held by 58 yards on 21 carries.
"The entire second half, they were much stronger." Fambrough said. "We had nothing
"I'm disappointed in the team's physical condition. I thought it was better than that, but it was obvious that we need more work."
Jones agreed with Fambrough.
"ITHERE were a lot of people dragging in the second half," said Jones, who had 54 yards on nine carries. "I don't want to take anything else, but I want to give their entire team credit. They just beat us."
It took the Shockers a long time, but in the end, they did beat the Jayhawks. Kansas let them stay close, and the longer an explosive offensive football team played, State stays close, the closer it will cause.
The Kansas defense, which was a question mark for much of the fall practice, gave up 204 yards through the first three quarters to the Shockers, but the McJunkins-led offense rolled for 137 yards in the final quarter, 117 through the air.
Defensive tackles Broderick Thompson and Mark Wilbers consistently put pressure on McJunkins, but the WSU offense was just too much in the second half. Thompson broke up three passes for the Jayhawks, but it wasn't enough.
"We shut their trap down," Thompson said.
"It was just on third down that we didn't rise and ston them.
"THEY DID what we expected them to do and we had decent success against them. We didn't."
The winning play for Wichita came after a 60-yard punt by Bucky Scribner. Mejnkins passed to Reuben Eckels for a five-yard gain. The KU defense stopped a Wichita State running play for no gain, but the Shockers hit a big 29-yard pass to put the ball on the 50.
Enter Dreher; goodbye ball game.
"I don't know exactly what happened on the play," Baughadon said after the game. "Roger Foote was supposed to be in the zone. I think he committed himself a little early and he fell."
"I was keying and thinking short pass," Foee said. "and they threw the bomb."
Foote, in fact, had not fallen down. Foote said that because of the earlier short pass plays, he
IT WAS an unexpected finish for Dreher, who went to the bench midway through the third quarter and received five stitches in his chin, courtesy of a hit from a KU defensive back.
"After I caught the ball I said to myself, 'run like hell.' Dreher说, "I've always thought you were a good player."
Dreher and the rest of the Wichita State team were all heroes. The Shockers had once again beaten Kansas, this time in its own back yard, and bragging rights were once again theirs.
"The students won't let us forget this one," said Gary Coleman, KU's strong safety, who was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dark school. "We don't have to be very hard for the team to get up though."
JAYHAWK NOTES — The Kansas-Texas Christian game Saturday was expected to be televised by CBS-TV, but the loss to Wichita State may have canceled. An announcement by CBS on whether the game will be televised is expected no later than this afternoon.
Quarterback Frank Seurer threw eight straight completions during the first half of the game and did not throw an incompletion until 7:35 of the second quarter.
KU defensive tackle Broderick Thompson, No. 35, batted down a pass attempt by WSU quarterback Prince McJunkins, No. 1, during the third quarter of Saturday's game between the
Jayhawks and Shockers at Memorial Stadium. Thompson broke up three of McJunkins' passes in the game, but it wasn't enough as the Shockers upset the Jayhawks, 13-10.
Bills beat Kansas City, 14-9
By United Press International
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — You can't convince Kansas City Chiefs' coach Marv Levy that the Buffalo Bills miss Joe Cribbles.
The Bills, playing without their disgruntled running back, unloaded their other offensive weapons — mainly Joe Ferguson, Frank Lewis and Jerry Burry — yesterday as Ruffalo took a shot against the Chiefs in the NLL opener for both clubs at Rich Stadium, before a sellout crowd of 80,020.
"Buffalo is a very good, balanced team, with or without Joe Cribb." Levy said after he caught a good glimpse of the Ferguson, Lewis and Butler show. "We don't consider it an advantage with a player like Cribs out of the lineup."
The only advantage the Chiefs had was kicker Nick Lowery, who booed field goals of 59, 47 and 42 yards as the Buffalo defense held the Chiefs in a tight defensive battle the Kansas City offense to 229 total net yards.
Cribb, an All-Pro, is threatening to sit out the season while seeking to renegotiate his contract with the Clippers.
One had to wonder what the outcome would have been if Buffalo had Cribs in the lineup.
"Of course we want to have him back, but why should we talk about it if he's not here," Piper said.
Ferguson made his presence known at 11:23 of the opening stanza when he fired a 20-yard pass in the direction of Lewis. The veteran receiver scored a touchdown corner of the end zone to give the Bills a 7-3 lead.
With Buffalo leading 7-4 in the second quarter, following Lowery's 9-2 yard field goal, Ferguson launched a pass that was picked off by Chiefs linebacker Gay Spani at the Kansas City 3. He blocked a punt and returned back when Kansas City safety Lloyd Burrell was tagged on an illegal contact penalty.
"I don't know what happened," Burruss said of the penalty. "I don't know what they called it for."
On the next play, Ferguson fired a 6yard pass into the end zone with the swift Bither diving acrobatically for a completion to give the Bills a 14-6 halftime lead.
"You're supposed to catch the balls thrown to you," said Butler, who reported to the Bills just 10 days ago after a lengthy contract-renegotiation dispute similar to Cribe." "But it when you have to go up for them and get your themselves that makes your value go up.
Enter Butler
Ferguson had a fair opening, completing 18-of-31 for 166 yards, Chiefs quarterback Bill Kenney hit on 14-of-30 attempts for 149 vards.
Kenney, however, was sacked three times by the Buffalo defense.
"I didn't play well." Kenney said. "It was our worst performance since last year on the women's performance show."
Aikens powers KC past Twins, 18-7

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Willie Blens blasted two homers and drove in four runs yesterday as the Kansas City Royals came from behind to rout the Minnesota Twins, 18-7.
The Royals, however, failed to increase their one-game lead in the American League Western Division race in California defeated Toronto, 3-2. In the second game, Colorado, 20-22, have 5 games left, six against each other.
Kansas City opens a four-game series tonight at Royals Stadium against the Seattle Mariners.
Aikens showed his power to the opposite game by planting his first home run of the game in the Twins' bulpen in the bottom of the second innning, tying the score at 1-1. His second blast, in the same game in the Royals' six-run eighth innings, the ball hit deep in the Kansas City bullpen.
Lost in the shuffle of the Royals' offensive explosion was the sixth-Immig, game-winning RBI single by center fielder Amos Otis, his 19th of the season.
The Royals overcame a 7-1 deflite and finished the game with 20 hits off of five Minnesota pitchers. In addition to Aikens, U.L. Washington and Jerry Martin each pounded out three hits.
Willey Wilson walked and scored three times, yet he was the only Royal who did not collect an
With Wilson at first and Washington at second via bases on balls, Minnesota manager Billy Gardner elected to put George Brett on base intentionally and bring up Otis. However, the strategy backfired and Otis slapped a single to right field, scoring Wilson and Washington.
"Otis is our kind of guy," said Wilson. "He gets the hits and takes care of all the junk pitchers. Minnesota seems like they never want George to beat them."
Otis, who left the game with a slight groin pull after getting his game-winner, has battered pitchers this season after the player before him has been walked intentionally. He has collected five hits in eight at-bats, including two home runs, a sacrifice飞 and 12 RBI.
"Otis has been our big RBI man this year," said KC manager Dick Howser. "He's an excellent professional hitter. And we're a better-looking club when he's in there. We just have more consistency when he's batting fourth in the lineup."
White reflected on the 1,000-hit plateau, saying, "It's nice that it was a home run. Now let's hope that everybody else gets their confidence back."
Second baseman Frank White showed his offensive prowess, cracking a double in the fifth and a home run in the eighth, his 109th major league career hit. Cesar Geronimo also tacked on a solo bolt in the eighth, giving Kansas City another run in running since May 24, 1976, at Texas.
Bob Mitchell put the Twins on top in the second, 10, with a broken-bat ground ball to Alikens, scoring Gary Wells. After the Royals tied the game in the bottom half, Minnesota added another run in the third and five more in the fourth.
Bob Tufts picked up his first major league victory for Kansas City and Dan Quisenberry nailed down his league-lead 33rd save. Paul Splitteroff, 9-9, started for the Royals but lasted only 3 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on seven hits.
The Royals' bats then came alive in the bottom of the fourth. Otsi and McAl Raean, who later extended his RB1 total to 120 with a sacrifice飞鱼, led off the innings with back-to-back singles.
A sacrifice fly to center by White moved up the runners and Aikens' ground ball to second scored Otis. The second of two doubles on the day by Jerry Martin brought home McRae.
Martin scored on a single by John Wathan,
bringing the Rovals to within three. 7-4.
Kansas City scored twice in the fifth to cut the lead to one. Ots walked and scored on White's double, a blooper to left. White then crossed the plate on a single by Aikens.
The Royals took a 7-1 lead into the seventh and scored three more times that timing. With two outs, Wathan doubled down the left field line, Wilson walked and Washington singled, scoring an executive singles by Brett and Geronimo brought in Wilson and Washington for a 12-7 margin.
Connors captures U.S. Open with easy victory over Lendj
NEW YORK — Jimmy Connors, reaching once more for the top, crushed Ivan Lendl yesterday to win the U.S. Open championship and over the $4 million mark in career earnings.
Except for one stretch in the third set, when Lendl won five of six games, Connors controlled the tempo and took advantage of unusually erratic play by his younger team, first two sets to gain the edge he needed to beat Lendl for the ninth time in 10 meetings.
Conors appeared on his way to a straight-set victory when he jumped to a 3-1 lead in the fourth game of the third set and was at dace on Lendl's serve in the fifth game. But Lendl then put together his best break and break Conorns in the sixth and 10th games.
He ended the match, which started in bright sunshine and ended under the stadium lights at the National Theatre. He scored a goal into the net. With victory secure, Connors raised his arms in triumph.
By duplicating his feat of 1974, when he also won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, Connors
assured himself of regaining the No. 1 world ranking he held from 1974-1979.
This was the 95th tournament victory for Connors, a record, and the first prize of $80,000 enabled him to become the first player to surpass the $4 million mark in career earnings. Since turning pro in 1972, the 30-year-old left-hander has earned $4,020,165 and is virtually a cinch to add a $600,060 bonus as the Grand Prix points leader.
"I enjoy it up there," Connors said recently. "That's what you play for, and it's the best place to be."
Llend, losing for only the eighth time in 131 matches since last year's Open, has yet to win a major championship. However, his junior season ended with one-year earnings total to $1,333,050.
This is only the seventh time in 20 years that the same man has captured Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in the same year, with Connors doing it twice.
