football notes
Kansas' game at South Florida has been moved from Saturday, Sept. 13 to Friday, Sept. 12, ESPN2 (Sunflower channel 34) will television the game at 7 p.m. CST. The game is the third on the Jawhays' 2008 schedule and will mark the second time Kansas has played a nonconference game on national television. Kansas will also face Florida International, Louisiana Tech and Sam Houston State before Big 12 play begins.
» Spring football has officially begun. Kansas hit the practice field yesterday for the first of 15 spring sessions. Two practices will be open to the public: Tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. and April 4 at 3:30 p.m. Both open practices will be held on the fields west of Hogland Ballpark. The Jayhawks' spring game, which is free to the public, is slated for Saturday, April 12.
Eleven former Jayhawks worked out for NFL Scouts Tuesday at Kansas' annual Pro Timing Day. Each of the five Kansas players who tested at the NFL Combine last month worked out, along with Jeff Foster, Marc Jones, Brandon McAnderson, Scott
Webb, Sadiq Muhammed and Kyle Tucker. Only five NFL teams skipped the opportunity to evaluate the Jayhawks, as 37 scouts from 27 teams attended.
» Linebcker Joe Mortensen, who will be a senior next season, earned a spot on the preseason Lombardi Award Watch List. Mortensen is one of 54 players on the watch list for the honor. The Lombardi Award is given to the nation's best defensive lineman or linebacker at the end of each
season. As the season progresses, the 500 members of the Lombardi committee whittle the list of eligible players until 12 semifinal-

ists remain before making their selection. Last season, Mortensen led Kansas with 106 tackles from the middle linebacker position. Along with safety Justin Thornton and center Ryan Cantrell, Mortensen will not participate in spring drills because of an injury.

the Kansas City Royals be the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 Wednesday.
Hochever, shooting for a spot in the Royals' rotation, recovered from a rocky first inning, allowing six hits and two runs in four innings in his third exhibition appearance.

"I think he looks like he's right where he should be at this point," pitching coach Dave Duncan said. "He's making good progress, but it is what it is.

"In his case, you've got to put the time in."
Carpenter has put in a lot of
Carpenter time over the years, missing most of 2002 and all of 2003 following shoulder surgery, missing the 2004 playoffs with a biceps injury and pitching only on opening day last season before the elbow knocked him down.
It's way too early for that.
"I think it's going to get different when we start upping the intensity and the quantity." Carpenter said. "It's on a line and it's going in there nice with an occasional little pop in the mitt.
"Because I've been through it, I know what it takes to get back and I'm going to do everything I can."
"I'm not firing it, but it's hard enough for right now, and I've been recovering fine and as long as that continues to progress, everything will fall into place."

Once again, he's on the mend.
So, while he's happy to be progressing there's little sense of relief.
Once again, he's on the mend.
"That's the way the game is," Carpenter said. "Unfortunately, I've had some injury issues in my career, and no, it's not hard to stay patient. Because I've been through it, I know what it takes to get back and I'm going to do everything I can."
Which isn't a whole lot right now, Carpenter said he's throwing at 60 percent effort and only fastballs.
in a group of talented, on t he - m end pitchers for the Cardinals. Mark Mulder might make his debut in May following shoulder surgery and Matt Clement and Joel Pineiro could miss early starts.
Adam Wainwright and Branden Looper are the only members of the projected rotation set for the start of the season, with swingmen Todd Wellemeyer, Brad Thompson and Anthony Reyes, coming off a 2-14 season, likely to fill the last three spots.
Prospects Kyle McClellan, Clayton Mortensen and Mike Parisi also could be in the mix. The Cardinals were impressed with Parisi's improved breaking ball in an intersquad game on Tuesday and Mortensen will get second start of the spring on Friday against the Dodgers.
