Foul tempers, hard-hitting mark Jayhawk soccer win
When people talk about the KU-K-State rivalry they usually refer to football and basketball teams. But the action on the football field and the basketball court is tame when compared to a Jayhawk-Wildcat soccer match.
In a game Sunday at Manhattan marked by foul tempers, hard-hitting and the ejections of three players, the KU soccer team downed Kansas State 4-2.
With the wind at their backs in the first half, KU kept the ball in the Wildcat half of the field and pressed the State goal constantly. Their efforts netted them a 4-0 half-time lead.
Carlos Rodriguez scored the first KU goal with an unassisted shot from 15 yards out.
Rodrigues took the ball at midfield and lost his balance as he dribbled past the lone Wildcat defender. The K-State goalie came out to cut off the shot but as Rodrigues was falling, he lofted a soft shot over the diving goalie. The ball rolled easily into the net and KU had a 1-0 lead.
Penalty kick makes it 2-0
The second Jayhawk goal came when KU was awarded a penalty kick for a K-State handball. Fidel Waura took the kick and drove it by the K-State goalie.
With the Jayhawks pressuring the goal, the KU fullbacks moved up to midfield and held the Wildcat offense in check. KU goalie, Jose Fonseca, kept the Wildcats shut out the first half with two diving saves on K-State's only serious threats.
Fred Manel took a corner kick from Herbe Pensec and headed it in from three yards out to give the Jayhawks their third goal.
Rodrigues made it 4-0 when he broke in the open again and launched a shot past the goalie into the net.
As the K-State goalie was gathering in a shot, Rodriguezes charged by him. A Wildcat fullback, Johnson Arokoyo, thought Rodriguezes had come too close to his goalie and let him know it with a shove. Rodrigueues shoved back and the referee escorted the two from the field.
The second half began with both teams playing a man short and the wind in K-State's favor.
The scoring threat of Rodrigues was nullified three minutes later;
In ten minutes the Wildcats had closed the score to 4-2 and tempers began to flair.
Christian Kloesel of KU complained once too often. After one heated protest by Kloesel the referee took his name and warned him that another outburst would put him out of the game. Five minutes later he voiced his opinion of a decision and the referee sent him to the sidelines.
KU's complaints were concentrated on a linesman they contended was not calling offsides against K-State. The Wildcats answered these complaints and added their own protests against what they considered rough play by KU fullback Gunther Pfister.
With only nine of their men left on the field, the Jayhawks held on to their lead for the remaining 20 minutes and took home a 4-2 victory.
In a preliminary game the KU B team came back from a 2-0 halftime deficit to tie the game on goals by Tim Rickard and Duke Lambert.
With seconds left in the game Rickard had a shot from five yards in front of the goal. But he lofted it a foot too high and the game ended as it passed over the net. It was the second tie between the two teams in eight days.

Wilt, Russell match up once again as ancient Celts defend crown
The annual NBA game of "King of the Mountain" gets under way in Los Angeles Wednesday night with the Lakers trying to knock off the old green monarch who has ruled from the summit for -10 out of the past 12 years.
As usual, the latest pretenders to the crown face an uphill battle because the King of Kings, Boston Celtic player-coach Bill Russell, blocks the door to the throneroom.
Led by the veteran Russell (and on the Celts, who isn't a veteran), Boston heads into the
The Celtics, recent conquerors of Baltimore and New York in the Eastern Division play-offs, are looking for their third NBA title in as many years and show few signs of the decay that age seemed to be inflicting earlier in the season.

final Laker series against a club that overwhelmed its Western Division opponents in the play-offs (San Francisco and Atlanta) and whose top hands have reached a peak in championship play.
thanks to their strong, if elderly, bench.
The Lakers will not be quite as vulnerable to such tactics since back-up men Mel Counts, Tom Hawkins, and Keith Erickson have all played big parts in the playoffs thus far.
It should boil down to another Russell-Chamberlain duel and as has always been the case, the winner here cakes all. The play-off schedule.
Sam Jones
Wednesday, April 23, 8 p.m.' Boston at Los Angeles.
Several familiar match-ups are in the offing, most notably the classical confrontation of the game's premier big men, Russell against Wilt Chamberlain. Laker star Elgin Baylor, who destroyed Atlanta Sunday with his 29 points and 14 of 18 from-the-field shooting, will once again be hounded by Boston forward Bailey Howell.
In the previous encounters with Baltimore and New York, the Celtics were able to wear down the shorthanded and injury-ridden Bullets and Knicks
Finally the Celtics' Sam Jones and Lakers' Jerry West will be given the unenviable task of guarding each other and that should set off the scoreboard if their past play-off point totals hold form.

NEW YORK (UPI) — Denny McLain is a close friend of Kenny Harrelson's but he'd do it differently.
If and when the time comes that Detroit tells him, "Get that twin engine of yours warmed up, Denny, we've just dealt you to the Mets," he's going to warm up his Cessna, check the weather over Long Island and take off for Shea Stadium.
Not that the Tigers have any immediate thought of peddling their celebrated organ-playing, sky-writing 31-game winner, but
KANSAN Sports
a guy never knows and when McLain heard about the six-man deal in which Harrelson was consigned to Cleveland he realized the same thing could happen to him sometime.
"I like Kenny, I think he's a helluva guy and I can imagine what he's going through now," McLain said when news of Harrelson's retirement announcement in Boston reached Yankee Stadium Sunday.
"My situation is different than his. He has a lot of business ties in Boston; I made sure not to get myself involved like that in Detroit. Purposely. For this very reason. It's true I've been associated with many outside ventures ... did you know I'm president of a firm now, yeah, Dyco Coverings Paint... but if I ever have to leave Detroit I have nothing to hold me there. I gotta say I was surprised Boston traded Kenny. How can they trade a guy who knocks in 100 runs?"
Short on hill
"The Red Sox need pitching now, especially with Lonborg and Santiago hurting," a guy said. "They must figure they've got enough hitting. Billy Conigliaro looks like he can play."
"Billy Conigliaro may turn out to be the greatest hitter in history but two home runs don't make him that," Denny McLain
said, still defending his buddy,
Hawk Harrelson.
"Can you ever imagine them trading you?" someone said to McLain.
"Why not?" replied the sandy-haired, 25-year-old righthander.
"If they came in now and told you pack up, you've just been traded, you'd go?"
"No question. I'm no sacred cow. Naturally, I'd like to stay in the town I started in. Who wouldn't? I've got a lot of friends in Detroit. Jim Campbell the Tigers' general manager is another reason. He has done more for me than any 10 men I know. He always steered me right and kept me out of trouble several times. Not big trouble, little trouble, but I appreciate it.
"I have no illusions about where I stand though. Winning 31 games doesn't give you any lifetime guarantee. I'm not the most loved person in Detroit, you know. That's because I voiced my honest opinion.
"Look, if I think I'm right and they tell me to shut up, I'm not gonna shut up. It wouldn't matter to me where I was, I'd speak up. Even in Paradise. If they want to trade me for that, there isn't anything I can do about it."
McLain, whose record stands at 2-2, gets a kick out of people who keep asking him how many games he thinks he can win this year.
30 again?
"If you start 40 times a year, you should be able to walk into 20 wins with this ball club," he says. "The way they score runs there's no telling how many you can win. A guy came up to me the other day and said 'do you think you can win 30 again?' I told him damn right I can with the kind of hitters we've got. They're the best there is."
McLain isn't really worried about it but Campbell says he hasn't had a single trade inquiry about him in the past year and never even has given it a thought.
Campbell adds this is no lifetime guarantee, of course.
Denny McLain smiles at that.
He knows there won't be any for him even if he wins 31 again.
