Nebraska dashes tourney hopes

The Nebraska Cornhuskers, behind the four-hit, 10 strikeout pitching of Tim Burke, dashed Kansas' post-season hopes with a 4-1 win and first game of a Saturday double-bheader.
Nebraska won the second game, 3-2. The Jayhawks needed to win four games from Nebraska this weekend to make it to the Big Eight Tournament. They won the first two on Friday, 3-2 and 3-1, but couldn't finish the job on Saturday.
"You make your bed and you have to sleep in it," KU coach Floyd Temple said after a game.
The Jayhawks had put themselves in the position of having to sweep four from Nebraska, Temple said, by losing four games to Kansas State, Colorado, Missouri and Iowa State. Errors made in those games finally caught up to them.
"BUT WE DIDN'T get blown out of the tub," Temple said.
tub', Temple said.
In Friday's opener, Nebraska took a onerun lead in the second inning on a walk and a double by first base Pete O'Brien. But the third inning was off in the third, again on a walk and a double, before KU got any runs on the scoreboard.
Kansas finally scored in the fifth when Dan Graham singled to knock in Bob Halastik, who had reached first base on a bunt. Another bunt by Roger Riley advanced him to second, and a sacrifice bunt by Monty Marlin put him on third.
Gary Nolting, Nebraska relief pitcher, came on in the sixth with two on and walked two, scoring the KU run. Matt Gunfett scored the winning run on a grounder by Rulev.
TERRY SUTCLIFFE throw a four-hitter for KU to get the victory, raising his record to 6-3. He retired 12 of the last 14 Nebraska hitters.
In Friday's second game, Kansas scored first after Steve Jeltz went from first to third on a bad pick-off attempt by the Nebraska pitcher. But Dick Vickers singled him in Matt Gundlinger's two-run double in the bottom half and Jeltz for the final runs of the game.
Dan St. Clair struck out seven for the victory, raising his record to 8-1. St. Clair was second in games with the most valuable player this season in voting conducted after Friday's games. His 1.72 ERA is the best among the team's pitchers for a win, and his saves and victories, Kevin Kerschen and Monty
Marlin were chosen team co-captains for the season.
After Friday's games, Kansas was confident.
they're gotta have one half of a time before they get bored. Kersen then then for a while Saturday, I booked to Kersen threw hittsit ball through four tinnings, and Jeltz scored a run for KU
Jeltz moved himself into scoring position by stealing second and third. He scored on the two stolen bases in the bretskraa catcher Jeltz's two stolen bases in the sixth career stolen base record, set in four years in the early 785 by Rob Ohm. Jeltz is only a half-dozen holds the single-season theft record with 27.
But in the Nebraksa fifth, KU's dreams of a Big Eight championship were put to rest. Kerschen gave up four hits and four runs before being relieved by Galen Worley. Worley held the Cornhuskers scoreless for rest of the game, but KU couldn't catch up.
The first guy was Nebraska second baseman John Russo, who had a two-twin single into right. The second guy was third baseman Jeff Hunter, who got an RBI on a double. Kerschen was relieved by Worley after facing Hunter.
"THEY HIT A couple of good pitches," Kerschen said. "The first guy hit a slider on the outside corner, but he hit it good. The other was thunder, just hit it where it was pitched."
The second game went into extra innings before Nebraska won it. Jeff Diefenried tied it up for KU with a two-run home run in the third quarter, and the Nebraska with a solo homer in the eighth.
KU will play its final games of the 1979 season tomorrow in Manhattan against the Kansas State Wildcats. The non-conference double-header is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Conference golf titlist predictable

The final standings in the Big Eight golf tournament came as no surprise. As predicted, Oklahoma State won its 21st championship in the past 22 years.
Bv MIKE EARLE
The Cowboys, with a 45-hole team score of 888 won by 27 strokes over second-place Colorado. Kansas tied for third with Nebraska.
"It's nice," Holder said after the tournament ended Friday. "We've got a lot of advantage over other schools because of our earlier warm weather.
League domination and distinction as one of the finest programs in the nation have become synonymous with Oklahoma State coach Mike Holder like that kind of image.
"It gives us an advantage in preparation for tournaments and an edge in recruiting"
THAT EDGE can be seen in the person of Bob Tway.

Tway, who celebrated his 20th birthday Friday, picked Oklahoma State over other schools because of its nationally recognized program.
"I KNOW about their great golf tradition and decided it was the best place to go,"
In the meantime, he and the rest of the Oklahoma State squad will concentrate on the NCAA tournament at Wake Forest in two weeks.
If the Cowboys are to defend their title there, they will have to develop some consistency from the four other squad members, Holder said. Britt Harrison,

"We didn't play that well as a team," Holder said. "The difficulty of the course and the weather contributed to the high scores, but as a队 we didn't play particularly well. Maybe we're just waiting to play our best for the NCAA."
Colorado coach Mark Simpson said that he was satisfied with his youthful squad's finish and that the conference was becoming more balanced every year.
SECOND-PLACE Colorado was never a threat to the Cowbys, but the Buffaloes got strong performances from Cramer and sophomore Steve Jones, who tied for third place at 224 with Rick Reynolds of Nebraska.
"I feel that there are three or four teams in the conference that will get their programs going. Hopefully in five years the Big Eight will have a strong conference
"I'm real happy with our finish." Simmons said. "It was definitely our goal to go for that."
IF SIMPSON'S prediction comes true, KU should be a contender. KU's tie for third is its highest finish in the conference since 1962, when current coach John Hanna was n

Mark Crow led the Jayhawks with a three-round total of 225, which earned him a third-place finish.
"I look to do even better next year," Haima said. "I'm really encouraged with you."
Doug Anderson carded the lowest round of the tournament for the Jayhawks. After rounds of 78 and 81 on Thursday, Anderson fired a 72 in the third round to finish at 231.
The final team totals, which were compiled from the lowest four scores of each round, were: Oklahoma State, 888; Colorado, 195; Kansas, 915; Nebraska, 919; Missouri, 928; Iowa State, 937; Oklahoma, 937; and Kansas State, 952.
Hanna said he was pleased with the team's performance.
Anderson was followed by D.R. Seneman's 234, Jimmie Doyle's 237 and Mark Siskens' 256.

Kansas State might not have been in such a good position to challenge Iowa State if it had not been for some questionable official's decisions and some one-sided event set-ups, according to KU women's track coach Teri Anderson.
ANDERSON SAID yesterday she was upset about the way the Jaywhacks were treated by the K-State coach and meet coordinator, Barry Anderson.
"I don't want it to sound like sour grapes but it was pretty obvious that K-State wasn't running a fair meet. A good example is the official's mistake in the high jump, which cost us a second-place finish in the event."
"We had the worst possible lane assignments in all of our race races," Anderson aid. "They told us it was all because of the luck of the draw but there were too many instances where K-State always had the better lane assignments.
"Shawn and the Iowa State jumper both noticed the error," Anderson said. "They brought it to the attention of the high jump referee but he overruled them. It was obvious that he was wrong but he wouldn't change his mind.
The controversy centered on the number of attempts the eventual winner, Colorado's Annette Tanander, had at the winning height. KU claimed that she had had five attempts, two more than the legal allowance.
THE TEAM'S complaint was overruled by a K-State track meet official and winner on her fifth, and last, attempt at 5-1 victory. For win he had to settle for a tie for third at 3-2.
"Although our performance wasn't a clear representation of our ability because of the poor handling of the meet, I'm still confident the team still gave it their best efforts."
**GREEN JOINED Lori Lowrey, Green Pose and Claire Overstake in the 440-yard relay. Green ran the final leg and was in third place. Overstake. She moved past the runners from Oklahoma, Colorado and Nebraska to give KUA third-place finish with a time of 2:18.**
Freshman Lori Green turned in an out-
standing performance. Green overwhelmed her opposition in the 100-meter dash to win a bronze time of 11.63. She also won the 260-meter race.
Although she was placed in the outside lane in the finals for both events, she finished third in the 100 in 13.92 and fifth in the 400, in 62.43, Iowa State's Deb Ewser won the 400 in 58.02 and Poss finished fifth in the 100 in 14.23.
Lowry was not so fortunate in the hurdles. She had the fastest time in the 100-meter hurdles and the third-best time in the 400-meter hurdles going into the meet.
Iowa State's Deb Vetter received the meet's outstanding performer award. Vetter won the 800 and 1,500-meter runs and also was a member of the winning mile

'Hawks start slowly; Blue routs White 31-0

For the better part of a half, the Kansas Jayhawks didn't seem ready to abandon the disaster days of the Bud Moore football regime.
Saturday afternoon in Memorial stadium, the same offensive inertia that helped KU roll to a 110 record last season, which got Moore fired after four seasons as head coach, donned the offense of new head coach, Dan Fambrough and assistant John Hadl
The pro-set attack put the ball in the air often in the first spring scrimmage since 1976, but it also produced an increase of dropped passes. Doses of fumbles, interceptions, penalties and quarterback multi-purpose offense of last year.
Fambrough, who spent the game in the press box as a radio commentator, said the play of Kemp and the offensive line had highlighted his coaching return.
RUNNING BACKS Larry Kemp and Harry Sydney finally got things going and saved the return of Fambrough, who also graduated from Kemp, a junior college transfer from East Los Angeles, and Sydney, converted from quarterback, each tallied two touchdowns to lead the Blue squad, comprised of the No. 10 Duke defensives, units to a 34-10 over the White.
"Sure, we made some mistakes," Fambrough said, "but we expected that we would have improved there was real improvement with the offensive line and they have been improving all spring in pass protection. We have had to teach them techniques that they weren't."
Sydney, who spent much of last season dodging the pass rush and watching his handbells fumbled and passes bobbed, was on the receiving end in the spring game. He dropped what looked like two sure catches and fumbled once in the first half.
"THAT AND THE RUNNING of Larry
Kermel were the most pleasing areas today."
"Last year everyone knew we were going to drop back and throw because we had no running attack. But they can't say that this year."
"All except for the fumbles and fumbled passes I had a good game," he said. "I just had a case of the slipperies. I'm try using stickum next year on game day."
"I feel like I'm more a part of the offense than last," Sydney said. "I'm more of a team."
THE OTHER GROUND threat was Kemp, a starter because three-year letterman Mike Higgins had a bruised back and 36 yard yards, 98 in the first half, on 17 attempts.
However, Sydney ran for two fourth quarter touchdowns and 75 yards on 18 kicks.
Three straight Kemn carries covered the
final 36 yards for Blue's first points at 13:30 in the second quarter. The 40-yard, fourplay drive was set up by Leroy Irvin's interception of a Steve Smith mass.
"I kind of surprised myself running around like that," Clinton said. "I'm not known as a scrambler but when you see what you're coming to it's surprising what you can do."
Despite the lopsided score, Fambrough said he was impressed with the defensive play.
They were on the field so long because of a swarming Blue defense and nooseguard Stan Gardner, a 6-0, 260-pound transfer from the College of the Canyons in California. The team was the shot for the track team, registered four sacks for a combined loss of 40 vards.
"WE HAVE TWO defensive teams that can play without hurting ourselves," he said. "Offensively we don't have that kind of edge, but they are bad but they were on the field all day."
"That Kemp," Fambridge said, "he's gotten better every day."
The White squad's scoring opportunity came late in the third quarter when Bucky Scriffner, a sophomore and probable red-shirt, unilenced an 81-yard punt (70 in the air) with a 25 mph tail wind to pin the Blue squad. Sydnes fumbled on the next play and a goal by Jordan Lance was ruled procedure penalty, a 24-yard sack by Gardner, a 1-yard draw, and an incomplete pass, Murl Murger's 55-yard field goal attempt fell short and wide to the right.
Quarterback Brian Bethe, last year *No.1* signal-caller until he was hurt midway through the season opener, took Blue 53 yards in the final two minutes to set up a 41 yard Mike Hubach field goal with 42 seconds left and company, however, couldn't score the fourth. He finished with seven for 13, passing for 53 yards and one interception.
IN THE FOURTH quarter, Keven Clinton, the leading candidate for the quarterback job, moved the 'Hawks for three touchdowns against a worn-out defense. He had scored 18 of 158 passes for 165 yards and did a little unexpected scrambling to avoid the rush.
White ended the game with negative 18 yards rushing and just 52 yards of total yards from the field.
SCRIBNER, A LAWRENCE product,
averaged 43.1 yards a punt in nine tries.
His counterpart, senior Hubach, averaged 33
vards on four kicks.
Farnbrough said that he was pleased with spring ball but said that KU all had a lot of success.
"I'm very pleased with what we accomplished in 20 days, but we could have used another 20. We have a long way to go." Preparations will end Sept. 15 with the season opener in Pittsburgh against the Pitt Panthers.

Even though the Wildcats took all four races, KU coach Don Rose said he could not really be disappointed with KU's performance.
"They had a little better blade work and it paid off for them, 'Rose said. 'I'm not really faulting our people. We could have a little more mileage in practice.'
KU came closest to a victory in the men's freshman four race, in which it held a commanding lead early. But
Kansas lost the lead and the race because of errors in technique, Rose said.
"They have a much deeper squam than we do," Rose said, "but I think we might have better material. It's just tough when you can't go to your bench."
