GOLF
Both teams to play this week

The men's and women's golf teams will both be in action Monday and Tuesday. The women will host the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Country Club in Lawrence. The men travel to Erie, Colo. to compete in the Colorado Invitational.
The women's team tied for second place in its last event, the Chip-N Club Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. The team was led by seniors Meghna Bal and Grace Thiry. Both tied for fourth place by shooting four over par in the two-round event that was shortened from three rounds because of inclement weather.
"I'm really excited to play in our home tournament, especially after our success in Nebraska," Thiry said in a release.
Thiry and Bal will be competing as individuals and will be joined by juniors Katy Nugent and Maria
Jackson, redshirt freshman Fhong Boonrakasasat, senior Jennifer Clark, sophomore Audrey Yowell and freshman Meghan Potee.
The men's team tied for sixth place last week in the Kansas Invitational. Senior Jeff Bell will be making his first appearance of the year competing in a team event. Bell competed in eight events last year.
Senior Nate Barbee will also compete in Erie. Barbee, who has been struggling a bit this year, got off to a rough start. He shot an 80 in his opening round of the Kansas Invitational, before he came back in the final two rounds with a 74 and a 70.
"This is a big step in hopefully starting to climb back and get over that hump" coach Kit Grove said. "He's been in a slump the last couple months and hopefully this is something he can build off of because at the end of the day he's very talented. He's a hard worker."
Sophomore Chris Gilbert led
the Jayhawks last week, tying for fifteenth place. Sophomore Alex Gutesha rounds out the Jayhawks' five-man squad. He finished in 31st place at last week's Kansas Invitational. Both Gilbert and Gutesha competed in all twelve events for the Jayhawks a year ago as freshmen.
Grove said the men's biggest problem has been their inability to finish strong. He compared it to getting a lead in a basketball or football game, and then just trying to hold on for the win instead of keeping the intensity up the whole game.
"They all kind of need to get focused from when they take the bag on the first tee to when they hole out on the 18th," Grove said. "The reality of the 54th hole is you just have to stay engaged, and I think that is where we are lacking."

NFL
Bradford leads Rams to victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Steven Jackson watched from the sideline as the St. Louis Rams ended a 14-game home losing streak. Somehow they did not seem to miss their offensive star.
Backup running back Kenneth Darby scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and rookie quarterback Sam Bradford got his first NFL victory as the Rams overcame an injury to Jackson in a 30-16 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
The Rams (1-2) won for only the second time in 29 games overall behind a strong start and even stronger finish, with the biggest offensive showing under second-year coach Steve Spagnuolo. Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in April, was 23 for 37 for 235 yards and one touchdown and one interception for the Rams, spreading the ball to nine receivers.
St. Louis, which lost its first two games by a total of six points, topped its previous best of 23 points under Spagnuolo in a five-point loss to the Saints last November.
The Rams led 14-0 after their first two scores in the first quarter this season, weathered a 13-point surge by the Redskins plus a blocked field goal at the end of the half, and played keep-away after the break. They stymied the Redskins defensively despite going with a pair of backup safeties much of the game, and got impressive work from the reserve running backs after Jackson was sidelined with a groin injury in the second quarter.
Darby had 49 yards on 14 carries and Keith Toston had 22 yards on 11 carries. Jackson finished with 58 yards on 10 carries including a 42-yard score for the game's first touchdown.
Santana Moss had six receptions for 124 yards and a score for Washington (1-2), but also
lost a fumble in the first half that led to a touchdown for St. Louis. Donovan McNabb, who gets his homecoming game at Philadelphia next week, was 19 for 32 for 236 yards with one touchdown and an interception.
The pick by Bradley Fletcher at the Washington 41 with 3:39 to play helped the Rams finish it off with Josh Brown's third field goal of the second half.
Safety Oshiomoghe Atogwe injured his thigh in the second quarter and the other safety, Craig Dahl, was inactive with a conclusion. There was no letup with James Butler and Darian Stewart in the lineup.
Darby, who entered the game with 2 yards on three carries, gave the Rams the lead for good at 21-16 on a 12-yard run midway through the third quarter. He gained 24 yards on four straight carries to open the fourth quarter, helping set up a field goal.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Cassel's three touchdown passes included a trick play that caught San Francisco completely flat-footed and the surprising Kansas City Chiefs remained unbeaten Sunday with a 31-10 rout of the hapless, winless 49ers.
After starting 0-4 a year ago and winning only 10 games the previous three seasons combined, the Chiefs are 3-0 for the first time since 2003.
The offense of the 49ers (0-3), which rolled up 417 yards Monday night against New Orleans, managed only a field goal until the final play from scrimmage.
Cassel was 16 for 27 for 250 yards. He connected with Dexter McCluster on a 31-yard run-and-catch and fired a perfect 45-yard strike to a wide-open Dwayne Bowe off a fake end-around.
Rookie tight end Tony Moeaki put Kansas City on top 24-3 late in the third with a great falling down, one-handed catch of Cassel's 18-yard toss.
It's the second time in three games San Francisco has been dominated, and is sure to cause unrest in the
Bay Area where many expected the 49ers to contend.
Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones, who have become the center of a running back controversy among Chiefs fans, helped K.C. rush for 207 yards. Charles, whose breakaway speed has made him a fan favorite, had 97 yards on 12 carries while Jones had 95 on 19, including a 3-yard scoring run that made it 31-3 with 3:27 left on the bright, sunny afternoon.
The 49ers wound up with 251 total yards, and that included 53 yards on their final two plays. They did not allow the Saints even one sack six days earlier. But the Chiefs' rejuvenated defense under first-year coordinator Romeo Crennel harried Alex Smith all day and held Frank Gore to just 43 yards on 15 carries. Gore did have 102 yards on nine catches.
In three games, the Chiefs have allowed only 14 second-half points.
Kansas City coach Todd Haley's gambling instincts were evident all day. The Chiefs tried an onside kick after their first touchdown, converted a fourth-and-1 from midfield and scored on a trick play in the third period.
Leading 10-3, the Chiefs in a wildcat formation snapped the ball to Jones. He handed the ball to McCluster, who appeared to be taking off on an end-around. But McCluster turned around and tossed the ball back to Cassel.
The quarterback then pulled up and lofted a perfect strike to Bowe, who was all by himself in the end zone as safety Dashon Goldson frantically tried to get back.
The 49ers were plagued by bad field position all game, starting drives at their own 13, 10, 22, 24 and twice at their own 12. They began only two drives beyond their own 28, including once when a Kansas City kickoff went out of bounds. Smith was 23 for 42 for 232 yards. His 41-yarder to Gore on the next-to-last play from scrimmage set up a 12-yard TD strike to Josh Morgan as the final second ticked off the clock.
Brandon Flowers' interception return last week gave the Chiefs' their only touchdown in a victory at Cleveland.
Joe Nedney had a 51-yard field goal for the 49ers in the second quarter.
