Cross country teams have new leaders
looking to new faces to help lead way back to the NCAA meet.

The Jayhawks By Adam Herschman Kagan poetwriter
Last year marked the most successful season for the Kansas men's and women's cross country team since cross country coach Gary Schwartz has been coaching both teams.
The men's team made it to the NCAA Championships by an at-large bid and placed sixteenth overall. The team was led last year by seniors Michael Cox and David Johnston. Both were named as team MVPs and placed high enough to earn individual All-American honors.
Despite the loss of last year's two top runners, Schwartz said he still expected to finish near the top of the conference.
This season the leadership roles will fall on juniors Bryan Schultz and Cord Criss.
Besides Criss and Schultz,
senior Chris Gaston, junioris
Kurt Alken, Chris Ronan and
Joshua Weber and sophomore
Brian Watts will help try to take
the Jayhawks on a second consecutive trip to nationals.
"I'd like to make All-American and as a team get back to nationals." Schultz said.
Kansas has also added depth to the men's team, with ten new runners joining the nine remaining from last year.
"We're looking for our juniors and to step up and assume the leadership roles," Schwartz said.
"Somebody or a group will have to establish themselves as our top runners," Schwartz said.
The women's team is coming off its second consecutive trip back to the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The team
The women's team also lost their number one and two runners, seniors Kristi Kloster and Melissa Swartz. Swartz was the 1994 team MVP.
finished 18th at the nationals in Prairie Grove, Ark.
Kansas is eyeing a third consecutive trip to the NCAA Cross Country Championships on the women's side.
Senior Sarah Heeb and junior Colleen McClimon will be looked upon as this season's leaders.
"We have the talent, and we have several on the team who went to nationals and a lot of people who can develop." Schwartz said.
Heeb and McClimon combined for nine top 25 finishes in 1994.
With junior runner Erin Anderson and sophomores Emily Miles and Lynn LoPresti
returning, the Jayhawks gain more experience and depth. The team also adds fourteen new runners this season.
Schwartz has two goals in both the men's and the women's teams this year.
"Our team looks pretty good," McClimson said following the first practice, held on Monday.
"I'm excited about the season, and the potential on the team, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the individuals on the team develop," Schwartz said.
The second goal is getting to nationals and doing well.
The first is to finish high in the conference. This is important, because this year marks the last of the Big Eight Conference and the Big Eight Cross Country Championships, which will be held in Lawrence Oct. 27.
Tyson faces uphill battle in comeback fight
Former champ hasn't had the chance to train during long layoff
LAS VEGAS — The general feeling is that Mike Tyson won't be in the ring long enough against Peter McNeeyle to shake off much of the rust he collected during a layoff of nearly 50 months.
By ED SCHUYLER JR. The Associated Press
Mismatch is a word often heard in discussions of Tyson's comeback fight scheduled for 10 rounds next Saturday night in the MGM Grand Garden. It will be Tyson's first fight since he outpointed Donovan "Razor" Ruddock over 12 rounds on June 28, 1991.
Tyson's comeback is big business, however, and not only do his partners — promoter Don King, the MGM Grand and Showtime — want him win, they want him to look good.
"I don't think you could have gotten a more perfect opponent," said Angelo Dundee, who played a major role when Muhammad Ali came back from a layoff of a little less than 43 months in a fight against Jerry Quarry on Oct. 26, 1970.
Meeley has a 36-1 record, but most of his opponents had losing records. Quarry had fought the likes
ANALYSIS
of Joe Frazier, Jimmy Ellis and Floyd Patterson before he fought All, but Dundee also considered him to be the perfect opponent.
Boxing is a game of styles and Quarry fit Ali's slick style, while McNeeley fits Tyson's take-no-prisoners style.
"I did time, he didn't do time," Tyson was quoted as saying recently in comparing his layoff with that of Ali, who was stripped of the title and banished from boxing after being convicted for refusing the military draft. Ali remained free on bail and was able to work out and spar. His conviction was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971.
Tyson was unable to train while serving three years on a rape conviction because boxing is not allowed in the Indiana prison system.
All's comeback scenario differed from that of Tyson.
In a way, Tyson believes that Ali's exile was more difficult as far as boxing is concerned.
"I was just so secluded from everything that boxing never was a reality for me," he said. "He was in an environment where the ring was right front of him, but he couldn't do anything with it."
Dundee also thinks Ali's exile
"Muhammad was at his peak when he was forced out," said Dundee, Ali's career-long trainer. "This kid (Tyson) might not be at his peak yet. If Ali could have kept fighting, he would have been so great, it would have been scary."
could have been more costly than that of Tyson.
In his last fight before being banned, Ali knocked out Zora Foley on March 23, 1967. By the time he fought Quarry at age 28, his lightning speed had been dulled.
Quick is a better description than fast for Tyson, now 29. At least it was.
Neither speed nor quickness are associated with McNeelev.
Indeed, McNeeley, who has 30 knockouts, goes at an opponent. His only chance would appear to be to take his best shot as soon as possible, and he should be there for Tyson to hit.
"We have to see if Mike's timing is there," Dundee said. "Timing is more important to Tyson than people think. He has a lot of technique that is not noticeable because he is so spectacularly aggressive."
An opponent who moves side-to-side certainly could give Tyson more problems in the areas of timing and balance. So Saturday's fight might not say much about Tyson's timing and balance.
"McNeeley's not big," said Dunede, although he is listed at 6-
foot-2. "Those 6-4 and 6-5 guys make Tyson reach." Tyson is listed at 5-11/12, but appears closer to 5-10.
Of Quarry, Dundee said, "Jerry was exciting. But he had a tendency to lay back a little. You could pick and choose — stick him (with the jab).
"He was dangerous. He had a great left hook, a short left hook, but it was a counter hook and so you would so pop, pop and move out."
Popping left jabs and quick combinations and moving was Ali's style, especially before his layoff.
Tyson got back into the gym in April for the first time since October 1991, when he was training for a fight with Evander Holfield that was canceled because of Tyson's rib injury.
"Boxers who visited me (in prison) told me that it (training routine) comes right back," Tyson said. "As soon as I hit the bag it came right back. I was hitting the bag like the champion of the world, but boxing was something different. The first time I sparred I was very dressed."
Tyson did not spar in his only workout opened to the media Aug. 2, but Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, watched Tyson spar five rounds July 24 and said he looked sharp.
"I'll be better this time," Tyson vowed.

Bono's time as a backup does not worry Chiefs
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — The Kansas City Chiefs don't want Steve Bono to be the next Joe Montana. They just want him to be a consistent quarterback.
So far, they like what they see.
so far, they like what they see.
The statistics Bono has posted in the first two weeks of exhibition play aren't eye-popping. But the Chiefs aren't concerned about the 43.5 percent completion rate or the 160 yards passing in three quarters of play. And they like the two touchdowns and zero interceptions, not to mention the 7.35 yards per attempt.
"Steve has graded out very high," said Mike McCarthy, Kansas City's quarterbacks coach. "He needs to play. He has been in the league 11 years, but he hasn't played that much."
This is Bono's second season with the Chiefs. He played backup last season to Montana, who retired.
"You always knew when you have Joe, he is going to make you look good," said Paul Hackett, the Chiefs' offensive coordinator. "Now the guys around Bono have to make Bono look good."
Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't.
Willie Davis made Bono look good on a 67-yard touchdown pass in the opener against Washington. And although a pass to Danan Hughes in last week's loss to Arizona was high and wide, the receiver snagged it for another touchdown.
"That ball came out of his hand quicker
than any I have ever seen, and that includes Dan Marino," Coach Marty Schottenheimer said of Bono.
But just as frequently, receivers have dropped passes right in their hands.
Tight end Derrick Walker did the first week. Chris Penn dropped a low but catchable throw that would have been a first down last week. Penn made a more difficult catch later in the game.
Mccarthy, who spends more time than any other coach with Bono, believes Bono is ready to take the step to being a starting quarterback in the NFL.
