Rain not a factor for fall players, organizers say
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
University of Kansas Recreation Services hasn't had to mess with Mother Nature a whole lot this fall.
148.
Yesterday was only the second day of intramural flag football that had to be postponed because of rain. The only other time games had to be postponed was on Sept. 19, and that rain only affected half of that day's games.
Tom Nienke, Mulvane senior
and program assistant, said that the rainsout only amounted to 15 games that needed to be made up.
games that needed to be made up. "This year has been better than most," he said. "We are going to try and play the makeup games on Tuesday and Wednesday, and hopefully start the tournament as soon as we can."
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said that the tournament probably wouldn't get started on Friday as was originally planned because of the time needed to configure the brackets. He said that they were going to work on the brackets Thursday and Friday and hopefully have them posted by noon Friday at the recreation services office, 208 Robinson.

"We want to give everyone the three games that we promised them."

them.
Krone said that compared to last year, recreation services had been fortunate because they had been able to keep most of the games on schedule.
"Last year was almost a complete washout," he said. "We got so much rain that we had to quit trying to reschedule football and soccer games. We even had to call all the teams and give them the option for a refund. It was an extreme thing, but we had to do it."
Krone also said that while flag football and soccer tournament dates were still uncertain, the sand volleyball tournament was on schedule to start on Wednesday.
He said that Monday's games that were rained out would be made up on Wednesday at their original times and that anyone uncertain about that day's games could call the recreation services hotline at 864-3456.
"With all the forfeits we have had, it should only take two or three days," he said.
Knee to Young's head doesn't stop the 49ers from victory against Arizona
The Associated Press
Edited by Mike Loader
TEMPE, Ariz. — With Steve Young, San Francisco was overpowering. Without him, the 49ers were able to hold on, then punctuated their 24-10 victory against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night with a 68-yard touchdown run by Lawrence Phillips.
Young staked San Francisco (2-1) to a 17-0 lead before being knocked out of the game with a mild concussion with 28 seconds left in the first half.
Jake Plummer, the quarterback San Francisco passed up in the 1997 draft, has rallied Arizona to victory 10 times in his 29 games with the Cardinals. But this one fell short*
Young threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Rice before he was knocked wooxy by the blitzing Cardinals.
Arizona rallied with 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Chad Stanley's 49-yard punt pinned the Cardinals on their own 3-yard line
with 9:17 to play. Arizona moved the ball down the field, but Adrian Murrell lost 6 yards. Then Plummer was sacked for the fifth time, and the Cardinals chose to punt on fourth-and-11 at the San Francisco 40.
Phillips, given a chance by the 49ers after off-the-field troubles in college and early in his NFL career, burst through the line and raced to the zone for the game-clincher with 1:42

Young, sacked five times and knocked down 16 more in last week's 28-21 victory against New Orleans, was hit by Aeneas Williams and J.J. McCleskey as he let go of a pass. His head hit the knee of an offensive lineman as he fell to the turf.
Jeff Garcia, who led Calgary to the Grey Cup in the Canadian Football League last season, replaced Young, and though he wasn't spectacular, he was good enough until Phillips finished things off.

Murrell gained 50 yards in six carries on the drive. Chris Jacke's 42-yard field goal made it 17-10 with 109 left in the third quarter. The packed house at Sun Devils Stadium went wild.
Turnovers ruined what was only the third Monday night game for Arizona since the Cardinals moved from St. Louis in 1888 as the 49ers scored twice in 54 seconds.
Rookie David Boston muffed Stanley's punt and Joe Zelenka of the 49ers recovered at the Cardinals' 37 to set up Rice's first touchdown catch of the year.
Two plays later, Plummer threw his eighth interception of the season. The pass, intended for Rob Moore, was knocked away by Darnell Walker into the hands of Lance Schulters, who returned it 18 vards to Arizona's 11.
Charlie Garner, carrying a couple of would-be tacklers with him, scored on the next play to make it 14-0 with 5:41 left in the first quarter.
Moore aggravated a sore hamstring in the first quarter and did not play again.
