Cardinals' great Boyer dies from cancer at 51
By United Press International
ST. LOUIS — Ken Boyer, an All-Star third baseman with the St. Louis Cardinals who later became manager of the Los Angeles team and yesterday from cancer. He was Si.
Boyer, one of the Cardinals' most popular players during the 1960s, died at a nursing home where he had spent the last several months after returning to St. Louis from Mexico, where he had undergone lactic treatments.
One of Boyer's brothers, Clete, spent the last day with Boyer at the nursing home, a Cardinal spokesman said. Also present were Boyer's four children — daughters Suzy Hartwig and Janie Boyer and sons David and Danny.
the highlight of Boyer's 15-year major-league career came against Clete and the New York Yankees in the 1964 World Series, when Boyer personally carried the Cardinals to the world championship.
Boyer hit a grand slam in the fourth game of the series off AD Downing to st. Louis. Gus a 4-3 triumph. In the seventh game, he had three hits, including a double and a home run, and three runs as the Cardinals won 7-5.
Boyer capped that performance by winning the National League's Most Valuable Player award for the season, in which he led the league in runs batted in 119, hit 24 homers and batted in 295.
"I can never be any prouder of another human being about the way I was about Ken," said Cletie Boyer, now a student at the University of Kansas as a super athlete and a super brother.
"I know how all his many friends feel
about what has happened. He appreciated all the kind, wonderful things they were.
Boyer learned last November that he had inoperable cancer of both lungs. He kept the news to himself and close friends, making no mention of it when he was honored by the St. Louis chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America during its annual dinner in January.
After learning that Boyer had cancer and rapidly mounting medical bills, some of his friends, including Billy Martin, organized a benefit dinner in Arizona during spring training to help defray the costs.
In a prepared statement, August Busch Jr., president of the Cardinals, said, "Ken Boyer gave the Cardinals and the baseball fans of St. Louis many great moments to remember, and we have him with admiration and respect.
"He was one of the truly outstanding players in the long history of the Cardinals. We share in his family's sorrow."

And it might have been another 36 had there not been a change in the 1982 KU schedule, which originally had the Jayhawks playing at UCLA.

Nonetheless, Wichita State will be on hand to help Kansas open its season at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
MJUNKINS, HOWEVER, has proven he is loaded with football savvy. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound senior quarterback holds four Wichita State records: most rushing attempts in a career, 484; most total plays in a career, 969; most total yards in a single season, 2,480; and most total yards in a career, 1,407.

"Our quarterback is a great strength," said WSU head coach Willie Jeffries. "Everyone else is saying it and I guess I might as well. Prince takes a lot of weight off of our fullback and tailback. Kansas will have to assign one-and-a-half men to cover him, especially when we run the triple
Leading the Shockers will be Prince Eddie McJunkins III. Anybody with that name deserves to be a leader, regardless of his skills.
He has run the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds and last season accounted for 79 yards.
Missouri Valley Newcomer of the Year in 1979 and Offensive Player of the Year in 1981. McJenkins needs just 2,093 yards of total offense to become only the 5th player in NCAA history to reach the 7,000-vard plateau.
As a junior, McJunkins helped Wichita State develop a potent offense. The Shockers put nearly 24 points on the board and garnered 425 yards per game. Eight starters return to bolster the attack.
HOWEVER, SEVEN starters return on defense, a unit that allowed 379 yards a game in 181 — dead last in the conference. Though McJenkins and the remainder of the offense were sparkling, the Shockers still could not keep from falling to a 4-6-1 record after a 3-1-1 start.
"We need to win some of the close games and if we do, we'll make a run for the conference championship," Jeffries said.

Mjenkins played only part of the game, rushing for 39 yards on 10 carries and completing six of nine passes for 56 yards to touchdowns and threw for another pair.
against Missouri-Rolla, the team didn't need to rely on winning a close one. The Shockers rolled out 580 yards of total offense, crushing the visitors, 51-14.
Sophomore tailback Eric Denson and junior fullback Mark G'Oneal each scored two touchdowns.

quarterback Terry George was the game's leading passer, completing eight of 14 throws for 124 yards.
"WE'VE TALKED a lot about Wichita State being able to score a lot of points," KU head coach Don Fambrough said. "They have an explosive offense, but the big difference is that they have improved their defenses in
If the Jayhawks are able to contain McJunkins, they will have accomplished their biggest task. But Fambrough insists the Shockers aren't a one-man offense, nor will the Jayhawks treat them as one.
"They are led by a talented quarterback and we just hope to slow him
down. It's hard to stop someone with his ability."
"I remember the Syracuse game a couple of years ago and we tried to stop just the quarterback," Fambrough said. "We were worried that Cortez would about 5,000 vards against us."
Two key players returning to the Shocker offensive line are senior guard Jay Hull, 6-2, 340, and senior center Tim Dorsan, 6-4, 225. Billy Wilson, a left tackle who was killed in interceptions in 1880, is back after missing last season with an injury.
AS FAR as specialists are concerned, Glenn Stewart, who had a 2.27 yard per kickoff average in 1981, ranks 19th in the league, and plays players entering the 1982 season.
Jeffries brings a 61-34-6 overall record into his 10th college season, including a 10-21-2 mark in three seasons at Wichita State. Before he went to Wichita State, Jeffries competed in six seasons at South Carolina State.
"The Kansas Jayhawks have bigger people than Rolla did." Jeffries said.
"Playing KU is going to be a different kind of situation than playing Rolla because they are bigger and faster.
"But if we can execute our plays and cut down on our fumbles, we've got a good chance to win. We just have to block well and make smart plays."
JEFFRIES SAID he favored the scheduling of Kansas-Wichita State athletic events and hoped for increased competition.
"I don't ever predict because I'm usually wrong," Jeeffries said.
"I think we should certainly renew the schedule between Wichita and KU," Jeffries said. "It would be good for the state of Kansas — if it were taken in the proper perspective. We have a representative football team and would have to make changes with respect, hitting hard and then shaking hands afterward."
Fambridge predicted the game would be similar to last year's opener in 19-11, this time to a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown by Roger Foote.
Gary Coleman, KU defensive back, said he knew what to expect from the team.
"You know they'll be fired up," Coleman said. "If they win this game, it will make their whole season."
