St. Louis Rams coach says not interested in Dolphins
ST. LOUIS — Scratch Mike Martz's name off the list of potential replacements for Dave Wannstadt in Miami.
NFL
Mosley is the fourth and final recruit of the early signing period, which ends today. Other recruits in the 2005 class are point guard Ivana Catic, forward Jennifer Orgas and for ward Sophronia Sallard.
The St. Louis Rams coach yesterday said there was no truth to a Miami Herald story that said he would be interested in the Dolphins' coaching job if he was let go by the Rams. Despite an up-and-down season, St. Louis is 5-4 and tied for first in the NFC West.
Citing sources close to Martz, Seattle's Mike Holmgrert and Denver's Mike Shanahan, the Herald article on Monday said the three would be interested in coaching the Dolphins next season if their current coaching situations did not work out. Martz said he was "shocked" to learn of the report.

Come 'bee with me
Tim Stauffer, lola sophomore, catches the Frisbee with friends after class yesterday. Stauffer said he was trying to enjoy the season's last few days of nice weather.
MOODY: Walk-on CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"It feels like that when you first get here, because you're not getting a monthly allowance and your parents are paying a little bit of money for you to come to school here." Moody said. "But you still get an equal opportunity just like everybody else."
The forward did receive a scholarship the second semester of both his freshman and sophomore years, earning respect and playing time as well.
After playing just 18 minutes his freshman season, Moody increased that to 102 minutes last year in 13 games played.
"I realized the term 'walk-on' doesn't
mean that you don't play," Moody said.
status doesn't hinder starting ability
Self said he had walk-ons start for his teams at Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa but could not think of an example of a No. 1-ranked team starting a non-scholarship player.
Jackson said he was happy to see Moody get a shot at the starting role.
"I tell him in practice, 'There's a starting spot for you, Moody. You just have to go out and get it,'" Jackson said. "He's been working at it every day."
Moody has followed up on another promise — to help the team's grade point average.
A pre-med student, Moody said his GPA was about 3.5, which he thought
still helped the team out.
"I sure hope it does," Moody said with a laugh.
Jayhawk basketball notes
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case shot some Monday but still has not returned to practice because of a groin injury.
The 6-foot guard from McAlester, Okla., said there was about a 60 percent chance he would take a redshirt this season.
"Coach and I really haven't sat down and talked about it," Case said. "But we probably will in the next week."

CLUB: Girls strike balance of competitiveness, fun
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
While the girls acknowledged their competitiveness and desire to win, they said the reason they play club soccer is to have fun.
"It's the perfect amount of soccer," Mason said. "It's not so structured and so intense that we don't have fun."
Caitlin McKeown, Barrington, Ill., junior, agrees. "It's nice because it's still competitive enough where you're still having a good time because all of us grew up playing competitive soccer," she said. "You still get that competitive aspect but it's not as intense as every day, every second of every day."
"We go out together, we have a good time." Mason said. "Spending that much time together, obviously we'll become close."
The girls have built camaraderie among the players so the fun can continue off the field.
The girls left for Texas Tuesday night and will play their first game today. In their bracket, the Jayhawks will face Cornell, Texas and Northern Colorado.

"Our training and racing up to this point has been phenomenal.
