UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Hockey club seeks students'support
By Jeffrey Auslander Kansas sportwriter
After a two-year hiatus, the ice hockey club team is back at the University of Kansas.
The team, which is getting the second most financial support from the University, starts its season on October 27. The team has a group of experienced players, a new ice rink for home games and hope for some campus support.
Assistant captain Bill Jensen, Lóng Island, N.Y. graduate student, said that the this team's diversity would be beneficial.
"We have got guys from all over, and they all have a lot of experience," Jensen said. "We've got guys from Sweden, Canada, New Hampshire, St. Louis, New York, Boston and North Dakota."
Team member Mike Shore, Chicago junior, was surprised when he went to the first team meeting and saw the variance of players' backgrounds.
"I was expecting to see a lot of guys from the state of Kansas who probably had little hockey experience," Shore said. "I was wrong. There are guys from all over the place. Some of the guys even have up to 15 years of hockey experience."
Although the team consists of many out of state players, the team is hoping students will still come out and support the team.
"Hockey is on the rise in the 1990s." Hopefully people here at KU will react the same way the rest of the country has," Shore said.
Jensen said that the team's scheduling

should help fan support, along with a new ice rink.
"We wanted to play against KU's rivals," Jensen said. "We hope people will want to see us play the K-State's and the Missouri's."
Perhaps another reason to see the team is the new facility where it will play home games. The rink is on the west side of I-435 and Johnson Drive, about 30 minutes from Lawrence off of K-10.
"It holds 500 people, and it has a great sound system," Jensen said. "Hopefully, we can dim the lights, get a smoke machine and give a cool pre-game introduction like in the NHL."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The experts who predicted a near-total collapse of Kansas City's offense would prefer not to discuss the NFL statistics this week.
Three Chiefs top AFC lists after win
The Associated Press
The Chiefs, with Joe Montana kicking
off his new career in television, have the AFC's leading passer, top rusher and No. 1 kickoff returfer.
Sure, it's only been one game. And sure it was
Nevertheless, Kansas City coach Marty Schottenheimer knew just what to do with his team's airy, unexpected status among the offensive elite.
only the Seattle Seahawks.
"Enjoy it." the coach deadpanned.
As usually happens in a 34-10 blowout, the winners dominated nearly every
phase of their season opener at the Kingdome. Yet, when all the numbers were crunched after week No. 1, Steve Bono, who hit 18 of 23 passes against the Seahawks and had a couple dropped, tops the charts with a 78.3 completion percentage.
Beginning the season as his team's No. 1 quarterback for the first time in an 11-year career, Bono threw three touchdown passes and amassed 278 yards, a whopping 12.09-yard average that far surpasses Dan Marino's next-highest average of 9.62.
Greg Hill, whose disappointing rookie season had people wondering if the Chiefs made a mistake on the former Texas A&M star, complemented Bono's passing with a 109-yd rushing effort. It was the Chiefs' first 100-yard performance on opening day since 1991, and it put Hill atop the AFC list.
The most exciting play of the game, and the one that sealed Seattle's doom, was turned in by rookie kick returner/wide receiver Tamarik Vanover.
The one-time CFL star, who returned his
first college kickoff for a touchdown at Florida State, turned the same trick in his NFL debut, zig-zagging 99 yards to the end zone.
But the rookie wasn't as flawless as Bono.
"We had some excellent, excellent blocks on his long one," Schottenheimer said yesterday. "But the thing that started it off was he put a little wiggle on a guy nobody touched, and the guy just fell on the ground in front of him. He was very close to breaking another one."
As a second-year guy, Hill also showed improvement.
"He also took off running on some punt returns to places where we weren't blocking them," Schottenheimer said. "It's a matter of experience. That's the difference between being a rookie and a second-year guy."
"He's out of his rookie year now. He understands the system, and he knows what needs to be done," Schottenheimer said.
Bono finally emerges after back-up blues
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It took all of one game for Kansas City Chiefs fans to stop bemoaning the loss of Joe Montana. The Chiefs may have a winner in Steve Bono.
It's not just because Bono hit 18-of-23 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs' 34-10 rout of Seattle on Sunday.
tor.
It's not just because his completion rate of.783 for the game was the third best in team history.
Bono did something Chiefs' fans had not seen for some time — he threw long. Willie Davis, Kansas City's lone deep threat, connected with Bono on plays of 60, 40 and 29 vards.
It's not just because he did not throw an interception on the day Montana made his smiling debut as a television commenta-
In Montana's two years with the Chiefs, the long pass was just not part of his repertoire.
Yet, the Chiefs insist Bono did nothing unusual in his debut as a starter after 10 years as a backup.
"I just think that he's a good quarterback," said Kansas City coach Marty Schottenheimer. "He understands the offense."
gestions that opponents were going to be drawing up defenses against a deep threat that the Chiefs didn't have last season.
"I think basically it was and continues to be a matter of us using the offense and the things that are available to us," Schottenheimer said. "The opportunity to throw it downfield was always there for us."
Bono and his coaches shrugged off sug.
"I've been around for 10 years. I appreciate it that much more than a first-year guy would," he said. "I'm a starter, and this is what I've been working for and preparing for. It's been a long time."
But getting a chance to start is new to Bono. A man of few words, he admitted he didn't want to waste this chance.
