Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi battles for the greek flag football championship yesterday. The Betas won 17-14 and will compete in the All Hill Final Four.
Electrifying best describes last night's men's greek flag football championship game between Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi.
After a scoreless first half that was full of turnovers, the team geared up to create a memorable conclusion and a 17-14 Beta victory.
Beta received the second nain kickoff and marched down field. A key play on the drive was a twisting and turning 25-yard run by quarterback Eric Dahlgren, Oklahoma City junior. Dahlgren then completed four passes to put the ball at the 1-yard line. He ran in the touchdown, and Beta was ahead 7-0 after making the extra point.
"We were just trying to chip away and not go for everything on one play," Dahlgren said.
But Sigma Chi responded quickly. On only its fourth play of the drive, quarterback Troy Hoffman, Hays junior, lofted a 62-yard touchdown pass to Ty Lewis, Oswego junior. The extra point made the score 7-7.
However, time had yet to expire

Beta got the ball back and drove to the Sigma Chi 34-yard line, where it was stopped and facing fourth down. Long distance kicker Mark Henrichs, Winston-Salem, N.C., sophomore, lined up for the 51-yard field goal, which almost is unheard
Nonetheless, Henrichs hammered the ball toward the uprights and into the wind. The kick bounced off of the middle of the cross bar, though, and the game went into overtime.

Sigma Chi didn't waste any time when it got the ball on the 10-yard line at the beginning of overtime. On the first play, Hoffman swept left
and ran into the endzone and put Sigma Chl ahead 14-7.
When the Betas got the ball, they failed to tie the score on their first three plays. However, on fourth down and facing defeat, Beta ran a lineman release pass play. Dahigren took the ball from the shotgun and fired it 10 yards to lineman Max Meyers, El Dorado senior. Meyers held onto the ball and the score was tied 14-14.
The touchdown forced the game into double overtime.
Beta stopped Sigma Chi in the second overtime and forced a 35-yard field goal attempt. However, the kick sailed wide left and the momentum shifted back to Beta.
Keeping the ball in the middle of the field with conservative pass plays, Beta placed itself in position for the winning field goal.
Steve Shaffer, Lawrence junior, lined up and drilled the 22-yard kick through the uprights. Beta was the champion.
"After I made the kick, I didn't see anybody; I saw everybody." Shaffer said. "It was a relief to win this thing. All the hard work has paid off."
Now both teams are on to the All Hill Men's Final Four.
Beta will play the residence hall champion, Frothy Discharge, at 4:30 p.m. today. Sigma Chi will play the men's open division winner, Long and Deep, at 5:30 p.m. today.
Nebraska coach suggests Phillips could come back
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Suspended running back Lawrence Phillips could return to practice with Nebraska as early as this week, coach Tom Osborne said yesterday.
But Phillips won't play for the next two weeks for the second-ranked Cornhuskers, Osborne said. That means he will miss games against No. 8 Kansas State and No. 9 Colorado.
Osborne said that Phillips' return would depend on school officials' decisions on whether Phillips would face university disciplinary action for an alleged assault on his former girlfriend.
Osborne removed Phillips from the team when he was arrested Sept. 10.

Phillips pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge for hitting Kate McEwen, a Nebraska basketball player, and is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 1.
At his weekly news conference yesterday, Osborne said Phillips was not yet in playing shape.

In the wake of Saturday's loss to Kansas State, the Kansas volleyball team is regrouping.
The team takes on Iowa State at 8 tonight in Allen Field House. And it won't be easy for the Jayhawks. The Cyclones (3-1 in Big Eight Conference and 12-7 in overall play) are second in the Big Eight Conference and defeated Colorado on Saturday.
"At times we've played brilliantly this season," Iowa State volleyball coach Jackie Nunez said. "But our play seems to vary from match to match and sometimes from game to game."
For the Jayhawks, the challenge is to forget the three-game sweep Saturday in front of an NCAA alltime record crowd of 14,300 against rival K-State.
"Our team has made great strides to overcome the Kansas State loss," Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewise said. "We've worked very hard in practice, and we're going to be focused."
The Jayhawks (1-5 in the Big Eight and 6-13 overall) will be led
"Our team has made great strides to overcome the Kansas State loss."

by sophomore right-side hitter Kendra Kahler. Kahler's 32 kills in two conference matches against Missouri and Kansas State last week earned her the honor of Big Eight Player of the Week.
Also pacing Kansas is senior middle blocker Jenny Larson. Larson totaled 11 kills Saturday on the way to her 800th career kill.
Iowa State will try to build on its 3-1 conference record. The only blemish on the Cyclones' record occurred Oct. 7, when Nebraska defeated them in Ames, Iowa.
“Kansas is a young team, and they play hard,” Nunez said. “I don’t think that their record reflects the way they’ve been playing.”
recent success, it will not take the Jayhawks lightly.
Leading the Cyclones in battle tonight will be senior outside hitter Stephanie McCannon and junior middle blocker Sonya Van Helden.
Although Iowa State has enjoyed
McCannon has totaled 171 kills for the season, and Van Helden has added 123 kills.
"Stephanie McCannon has been very consistent on both offense and defense for us this season," Nunez said. "Sonya Van Helden has also been playing well."
In addition to McCannon and Van Helden, senior outside hitter Kristin Hugdahl leads the team in kills with 184 and is first on the team in kills a game with 4.6.
Although the Cyclones are loaded with talent, Kansas is concerned with the play on its side of the net.
"It's going to have to be a total team effort." Schonewise said. "Iowa State is a steady and consistent team. We're just going to have to flat out outwork them."
Cross country to race season finale at home
By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas cross country team finally got a shot to cure its illness.
The Jayhawks received a dose of confidence Saturday at the Oregon Invitational after running in what was arguably their best meet of the season. The men's team placed fifth, and the women's team placed seventh in a competition which included top-25 teams Oregon and Washington.
The boost could not have come at a more crucial point in the season. The next meet will be the Big Eight Conference Championships at Rim Rock Farm, followed by the District V Championships.
"I'm glad we got to see such tough competition like Oregon and to compete against high-level schools to get our confidence up for Big Eights." Kansas fresh.
ights, Kansas freshman Erica Blackwell said.
The men's team, which has been plagued by injuries, took some big steps at Oregon. Kansas senior Chris Ronan, junior Chris Gaston and junior captain Bryan Schultz have been injured the majority of the season. Schultz has been redshirted, and Ronan has seen action only at the Minnesota Invitational.
However, Gaston has rehabilitated and raced in the last two meets. He was the first Jayhawk to cross the finish line at Oregon, finishing 26th overall.
Another senior also led the Hawkeyws in Oregon. For the third consecutive meet, Sarah Heeb was first among her teammates to finish.

After the Big Eight Championships Oct. 27, Kansas has two meets remaining on its schedule, the District V Championships and the NCAA Championships.
To compete in the NCAA Championships, Kansas has to place first or second at the district meets or receive an at-large bid.
For the women, the top two teams of each of the eight different district meets will compete at the NCAA Championships. These 16 teams will be joined by six others who receive at-large bids. The only difference on the men's team is that only three teams get at-large bids, because in Districts II, III and IV, the top three teams automatically qualify.
Last year, the women's team placed sixth in the Big Eight meet, won the district meet and went to the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive year. The men's team finished fourth at Big Eight meet and third in the district meet, earning it at an at-large bid.
"We're all looking forward to Big Eights, because we have some pretty high goals that we want to accomplish." Kansas sophomore Lynn LoPresti said.
More importantly than an at-large bid is running well at the last Big Eight Championships, which will be at Rim Rock Farm, the Jayhawks' home course.
"In the past, we've always kind of started out slow, and in the end we've surprised everybody," Kansas sophomore Emily Miles said. "And I think that's going to be the case again this year."
