Gubicza regains magic touch Royals pitcher wins second straight game
The Associated Press
allowed eight hits in going the distance in his first appearance since May 5. Rijo was recalled from Tacoma of the Pacific Coast League when the Athletics sent down Eric Plunk before the game.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Mark Gubicaa allowed only three hits and George Brett knocked in three runs, two with a homer, as the Kansas City Royals beat the Oakland Athletics 4-0 last night.
Gubica, z. outduced Oakland righthander Jose Rijo, 3-0, who
career shoutout and first of the season. The 24-year old righthander had a 12-6 record with four shoutouts last year, and last night's victory was his second straight complete game win after four straight losses. He struck out a season-high and career-tying best 10, including three in the ninth, and walked four.

Haskell wins marathon title
Indians claim fourth straight championship
By TIM HAMILTON
sports editor
Score another national championship for the Haskell Indian Junior College marathon team.
The Haskell Indians captured their fourth consecutive National Junior College Athletic Association marathon championship at Dowiagiac, Mich., Saturday. It was their fourth NJCAA championship.
Wendell Chino was the individual winner of the marathon, with a time of 2 hours and 42 minutes. Chino is Haskell's first individual champion.
The all-sophomore team consisted of Chino, Juju Poitra, John Wosypi, Dwayne Antonio, Marty Preyaugle, Ken Wells and Alfreie Grace.
Pretends Eagle and George finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Woosypiti took sixth place, with Poitra and Antonio coming in eighth and ninth, respectively. Wells, who was hampered by a foot injury all year, dropped out of the race after about 20 miles.
Of the seven members, only two had run a marathon before. Welles ran one in high school and Chino was a member of Haskell's 1985 championship team. A hip injury forced Chino to miss last year's championship.
Phil Homeratha, Haskell's athletic director, said the Haskell students seemed to be more suited to long distance running than any other sport.
"The Indian people are not a bulky people," he said. "Most of our runners are slightly built."
Besides, Homeratha said, long distance running takes more mental than physical endurance.
'The Indian people are not bulky people. Most of our runners are slightly built.'

"I think that 26 miles to a runner is more a psychological barrier than anything else," he said.
"The way I look at it is if you train and you're really physically ready, it would be 70 percent mental and 30 percent physical," said Pretends Eagle. "Our bodies and our minds felt like we could go that far. Everyone has a different set of views on the way to run."
Pretends Eagle said everyone on the team agree that Haskell's numbers were an advantage
"It was teamwork. It all fell together," he said.
Antonio said all seven of the team members were good friends and some even had been roommates. They were on the cross country team that finished fourth in their region last fall.
"We showed a lot of confidence in each other," he said. "At one point hallway through it, we were all kind to give each other a little push."
Homerata said the Indians' numbers were definitely beneficial.
"If we had just sent four or five down we would have been dependent upon a few people," he said. "It is a team snort."
He also said he thought the team's limited training had played an important part in their victory. Some teams have been more than a month before the marathon.
"We didn't want to kill them or overwork them," he said. "There's a fine line between working out too much."
Homeratha said the training sessions were kept to a minimum so the athletes wouldn't become pessimistic about being able to do well in the gym.
"I think we did a good job of not scaring them," he said. "They hadn't known failure. We just said, 'Let's go have fun. It's a personal challenge, and the more the merrier.'"

Rowing club offers new alternative
The KU Crew team has introduced rowing as an alternative to traditional forms of recreation on campus.
Now, the Lawrence Rowing Association is trying to do the same for the community.
Founded in 1981, the association's membership drive has been on hold for several years during a time when the college was not on establishing the college program.
The association is a rowing club composed of both citizens and students who are interested in learning rowing and associated with only the very wealthy.
Elliott said the association was concerned with providing rowing for a community that wouldn't have the team's equipment sport without the group's support.
Now that the KU program is booming, Cliff Elliott, association president and KU Crew coach, said interest could be developed in the community.
"We're looking for more community involvement," he said. "This is the first summer we've offered a program."
The association boasts more than 27 members,more than half of whom are Lawrence residents.
Novice and veteran rowers alike have taken advantage of the opportunity to learn how to row and stay in shape at the same time.
Elliott said that his wife, Elizabeth, who also coached the University team, helps with the association, which allows more flexible hours for its members.
"The program we've set up is pretty low-key," Elliott said. "We tried, in designing the summer program, to keep it as open and flexible as possible, to let them get out of it what they want."
A membership costs $35 and allows members to row on the Kansas River from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The dues are used to lease practice equipment and shells, the common name for rowing boats, from the KU team.
"The agreement with KU Crew has given us equipment that we didn't have before." Elliott said.
There is a beginning program for novice or recreational rowers. The next step is the intermediate level.
The association offers its members a choice of four programs. Each program entails varied degrees of conditioning and competition.
The intermediate level teaches a little bit more advanced rowing technique and introduces a conditioning program." Elliott said.
The third program is for those interested in competitive rowing.
The association also has a program which places rowers with different levels of experience in the same boat to teach those with lesser experience.
Elliott said the association members were divided evenly among all four programs.
John Sanborn, Lawrence resident, said he was interested in rowing because he owned a canoe.
"Before, I'd seen the KU Crew on the water," Sanbnn said. "Now I have a chance to learn how it is done."
Sanborn said the association's programs were very flexible and easily worked into the members' schedules.
"It's set up to where you can come in when you want to." he said.
Although he said he'd only been out on the water once in his five weeks as a member, Sanborn said he enjoyed rowing and even thought about trying to attach oars to his canoe.
Nancy Erway, Lawrence resident, said she joined the association because she saw rowing as an opportunity for fitness and competition.
"I do not like to lift weights, but I wanted to develop an upper body program," said Erway, formerly a member of local fitness centers. "I'd really like to become competitive too. There are a lot of open regattas."
Erway said membership in the association was much better than a fitness center which might charge as much as $35 per month.
"It's really a bargain," she said. "They even let you go out sometimes on the weekend."
