INTRAMURALS
Students find a change of pace with wallyball
BY KRISTINA POLLARD kpollard@kansan.com
Similar to volleyball but played in a racquetball court, wallyball offers some students an intramural sport that is more than just a funny name.
"I didn't know anything about wallyball until the first game, and it even took a couple of weeks
before we got the rules down," said Brad Jones, Topeka graduate student. Jones' team. Afternoon Delight, advanced to the finals in Spring 2009.

student, also played on Afternoon Delight and hadn't even heard of the sport before signing up.
"When I signed up, all I knew was that you could hit the ball off the wall," Wambsganss said.
"I thought since I had played volleyball before, I might be decent at it."

Many rules to wallyball are similar to indoor volleyball, but

there are a few differences. One key difference is that in wallyball, using the wall to bounce the ball
which is similar in size to a volleyball and made of rubber
quetball courts.
is the main strategy that keeps the pace and excitement of the game going. For Jones, who has played a lot of volleyball in the past, the decision to play wallyball came because he thought it would be similar to volleyball and a lot of fun to play on res.
Wambsganss also played volleyball in high school, and thought this variation of it would be fun to try.
"I thought since I had played volleyball before, I might be decent at it." Wambgsanss said.
As for why he decided to take part in a sport less commonly known in intramurals than others like flag football or ultimate frisbee, Jones said that less conventional sports were usually just as fun as the more popular sports.
"Nobody else really knows how the sports are played so it's equal competition and you might have a good chance of winning." Wambgsanss said. "You never know what you're good at and it's not as competitive because it's everyone's first time to play."
Matt Beck, coordinator of intramurals and special events, said that the way teams were set up was conducive to easy communication through the sport's registration Web site. Beck also said intramural sports offered a nice social environment for those wishing to unwind after class.
"It's also a great form of stress relief and a great way for people who played sports in high school to continue a competitive atmosphere and keep those competitive fires burning." Beck said.

INTERNATIONAL South Africans denounce gender test for track star
JOHANNESBURG — South Africans planned to rally in support of track champion Caster Semenya — celebrating her win in the 800 meters at the world championship, and denouncing questions about whether she should be allowed to compete as
a woman as racist and sexist. The youth wing of the govern ing African National Congress said its president Julius Malema would lead a welcome rally for "South Africa's golden girl," saying that Semenya "should be celebrated by all South Africans."

St. Louis defeats San Diego 5-2
MLB
Cardinals pitcher John Smoltz debuted by striking out 9 batters
BY BERNIE WILSON
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — John Smoltz had a brilliant debut with the St. Louis Cardinals, striking out a season-high nine — including seven straight — and holding San Diego to three hits over five scoreless innings in a 5-2 victory Sunday.
Smoltz also had a bunt single and scored the first run for the NL Central-leading Cardinals, who retained their eight-game lead over the Chicago Cubs. He didn't bat a walk.
Albert Puiols hit his 40th homer, a leadoff shot to right in the fourth. It was the fifth time he's hit 40 homers and the first since 2006, when he hit a career-high 49.
The benches and bullpens emptied momentarily after Pujols apparently thought Padres rookie Will Venable threw an elbow while being tagged out to end the sixth inning. No punches were thrown and order was quickly restored.
The 42-year-old Smoltz (1-0) signed with the Cardinals on Wednesday after he cleared waivers following his release from the Boston Red Sox. He had a dreadful performance with the Red Sox, going 2-5 with an 8.32 ERA after attempting a comeback from shoulder surgery. In six of his eight starts, he allowed five earned runs or more.
The first two Padres batters reached against Smoltz, including Everth Cabrera with a leadoff infield single, but didn't score.
After getting Adrian Gonzalez to hit into a double play, Smoltz began his strikeout streak by fanning cleanup hitter Chase Headley.
It helped that his Cardinals debut was against the Padres, who at .240 have the second-worst batting average in the majors.
Smoltz struck out the side the next two innings. Tony Gwynn snapped the streak with a single to shallow left-center leading off the fourth. Gwynn and Gonzalez were the only Padres who didn't strike out against Smoltz.
The nine strikeouts were his most since consecutive 10-strikeout games on April 14 and 22,
2008, while with Atlanta.
In the sixth, Venable hit a slow grounder up the first-base line, Pujols fielded it and tagged him. Pujols then stared at Venable and appeared to say something. Venable turned around and repeatedly said, "What?"
The benches and bullpens emptied, and Pujols and Venable had to be separated. Pujols raised his right elbow toward Venable, as if indicating the rookie had thrown his elbow.
