FOOTBALL: Kansas holds off Wyoming comeback
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
First, a 64-yard connection from Whittemore to Gordon down to the Wyoming four-yard line was waved back because of a holding penalty. Then, just two plays later. Cowboys receiver Josh Barge muffed an Ansel punt with Jayhawks swarming all over. Wyoming was able to recover, and capitalized with an eight-yard touchdown run by Bouknight.
consecutive completed pass attempts, and his second touchdown pass to McGuffey brought the Cowboys to within 14 points with just under five minutes left.
Bramlet strung together 18
Wyoming then recovered an onside kick off of Gordon's hands, and drove down for yet another touchdown, this time on a 32-yard pass to Bouknight.
Gordon redeemed himself by recovering the next onside kick attempt, and sealing Kansas' second victory of the year, and its
first victory on the road.
The victory against Wyoming, paired with last Saturday's triumph over UNLV, makes Kansas 14-6-1 all-time against opponents from the Mountain West Conference.
"You look at a couple of plays, couple penalties, and we do run away with it," coach Mark Mangino said. "We left Wyoming hanging around, and our team has to mature."

"Everybody who's played back there, whether they've started, come off the bench, played 90 minutes or 10 minutes, has done an excellent job," Miller said.
Francis said he attributed the success to the hard work of the freshmen, as well as key play and leadership by Maggie Mason, Elmira, Ontario, senior, and Stacy Leeper, Overland Park junior.
Francis said he was also happy with the way the forwards were playing. He said Central Florida changed its lineup by moving its best player, Joanna Black, to defend Smith, which opened up other forwards, as well as preventing Black from being an offensive threat.
"Caroline has that kind of ability to draw those kind of players," Francis said. "She's getting so much attention that other people are starting to step up."
Three Jayhawks received tournament honors. Smith, Gault and Amy Geha, Overland Park junior, were named to the all-tournament team voted on by coaches. Smith was also named Offensive Most Valuable Player.
The Jayhawks play again at 7 p.m. Friday at San Diego and 1 p.m. Sunday at Loyola Marymount.
Berroa's hits aid in Royal victory

DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers reached another milestone they'd rather not think about.
"At this point, the losses make no difference to me," said the Tigers' Bobby Higginson, who was on the 1996 Detroit team that lost 109 games. "It's just bad. We knew it was coming. If we end at 110 or 119 losses. It's a lot of losses, either way. It been a miserable year."
Detroit (38-110) has the most losses since the Montreal Expos and San Diego Padres each went 52-110 in 1969, their first seasons in the major leagues.
The Tigers became the first team in 34 years to lose 110 games in one season as Kansas City beat Detroit 7-2 yesterday.
Jimmy Gobble (4-4) allowed both runs and five hits in seven innings for Kansas City, which remained 31/2 games behind Chicago and Minnesota, the AL
Central co-leaders Jeremy Affeldt finished with hitless relief.
"Today he looked more like a major league pitcher," Royals manager Tony Pena said. "Basically, he pitched out of the fastball. I was very impressed."
Angel Berroa went 3-for-5 for the second consecutive game since moving to the leadoff spot.
Nate Robertson (1-1) gave up six runs, seven hits and four walks in 21-3 innings.
Rondell White hit a solo homer in the five-run third, and Berroa hit a two-run single off reliever Brian Schmack. Another run scored when center fielder Andres Torres' throw was wild for an error, and Carlos Beltran hit a sacrifice fly.
Joe Randa's RBI single put Kansas City ahead in the first and Berroa, who had three hits, had an RBI single in the second.
A. J. Hinch had an RBI single in the fifth, and Torres hit his first major league homer in the sixth.
Chiefs recover from first-quarter blunder to win
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The stumbling, bumbling Kansas City Chiefs could do nothing right.
Then Dante Hall uncorked a 100-yard kickoff return which an official mistakenly tried to nullify $ \rightarrow $ and the Chiefs could hardly do wrong, rolling to a 41-20 victory yesterday over Pittsburgh.
Priest Holmes, showing again that offseason surgery did nothing to slow the NFL's 2002 Offensive Player of the Year, rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs (2-0) scored on offense, defense and special teams.
"Dante's return was the biggest
play of the game for us," said guard Brian Waters. "When that play happened it just turned the whole game around."
Hall's return, the longest for the Chiefs in almost 36 years, came immediately after the Steeleers (1-1) had taken a 10-0 first-quarter lead.
Hall fielded Jeff Reed's kickoff at the goal line, cut left and sped virtually untouched up the sideline. Reed, the last Steeler between him and the end zone, flicked out his foot in an obvious attempt to trip Hall, who stumbled, regained his balance and kept going to score.
A yellow flag flew, and referee Larry Nemmers brought a groan from the crowd when he
announced the touchdown was nullified by a tripping penalty against Kansas City.
But as the Chiefs screamed in disbelief, Nemmers huddled with other officials and reversed himself, giving Hall his fourth touchdown return in less than two years.
"I wasn't worried, because I knew the guy tried to trip me and they would get together and get it
right," said Hall, who had a 45-yard punt return in the fourth quarter that led to Holmes' 4-yard TD run and a 34-20 lead.
The Chiefs' revamped defense recovered a fumble and intercepted three passes from Tommy Maddox, who'd been nearly flawless the week before against Baltimore.
That's not the way things started. The first six times the Chiefs touched the ball, they had two penalties, 4 yards rushing, one incompletion and allowed a Pittsburgh touchdown on Chad Scott's 26-yard interception return against Trent Green.
"Everything that we'd done offensively and defensively to that point, that one play took it
out," said Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher. "It was one of the biggest plays of the game, because it got them right back in it."
A few minutes after Scott's TD, Maddox hit Hines Ward for a 50-yard gain to the Kansas City 7 that set up Reed's 20-yard field goal.
After Hall's return, the Steelers went up 17-7 when Maddox, following James Farrior's interception, connected with Plaxico Burress on a 33-yard TD strike.
Then, it was all Kansas City.
"We came back from some real adversity against a real good football team," said Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil. "No one's going to put us on top, but I think we took a giant step today."
