Starters survive Blue's effort. 20-19

In the annual Kansas football game, billed by Kansas football coach Glen Mason as "the first team to win a World Cup," the world credit for a near-miss.
The Blue team, comprised of non-starters, fell short of the first-string White team, 2019. Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
In the rule-altered intrasquad scrimmage, each team began offensive possessions at its own 30-yard line after an opponent's score.
"Some of my coaches thought it would be close because the motivation goes onto the second team," Mason said.
It was from there that the White team started the game and the scoring with an eight-play, 70-drive drive.
The biggest play of the drive came on a Chip Hilleary 32-yard pass to Kenny Drayton to the Blue's 12-yard line.
Four plays later, tailback George White scampered into the end zone from 9 yards out. The White's Dan Dodge scored on a long point, giving the White a 7-0 lead.
The Blue offense took the field but, as in the entire first quarter, could not get on track.
The Blue defense, however, forced three White turnovers in its next three possessions including an interception by safety Harold Harris and an interception and tumble recovery outside linebacker Bret Pomrenke.
Pomrenke's interception and
return put the Blue offense on the
horse.
Three plays later, Blue quarterback Fredrick Thomas scored on a keeper from 6 yards out. Alex Chafetz' point-after tie the score. 7-7
The score remained deadlocked until the White's backer Rub哥 Roben brumbed seven yards into the end zone with 3:22 remaining in the half. Eichloch's extra point gave the White a 14-7 lead.
Facing a fourth and 11 from its own 44-yard line, Blue wide receiver Ron Page launched a pass off a reverse to Matt Gav.
The White defense toughened at that point, yielding only a 19-yard field goal by Chaffetz. The White led 14-10 at halftime.

In the second half, the 2,200 fans in attendance were sent searching for their rosters as some players replaced the starters and reserves replaced the starters.
Hilleary, a lock for the starting quarterback job next fall, finished the day at halftime with a 3 of 10 against the 48 yards and two interceptions.
Hilleary said that he had a new respect for the Jayhawk defense after facing them in a game situation.
"We've done the same plays every day for three weeks, so they knew what we were doing," he said. "But IU has been fighting against that defense next year."
With Hilleary on the bench, the White's quarterback chores fell on Nate Florle and Thomas while the White's backup played by Ashekri Preslog and Todd Cora.
On the White's first possession, the Blue's Pomrenke and Ty Moeder separated Florell and the football at the White's 39-yard line.
S six plays later, the Blue's Preston pitched to tailback John Flynn who rolled right and hit a wide-open Marlon Sanders for a touchdown.
Chaffetz' point after sailed wide.
Nevertheless, the Blue was on top.
16-14, with 4:09 left in the third quarter.
On its next possession, the Blue marched to the White's one-yard line, but was once again limited to a pass. The defensive goal that gave the Blue a 19-14 lead.
With 8:59 remaining, the White started with the ball on its own 29-yard line. Seve plays later, the White faced a third-and-one play on the Blue's 39 when tailback Tony Sands found a crease on the right side of the line and outraced the Blue secondary to the end zone.
Mason said the game was an exciting end to a very productive spring practice.
The two-point conversion attempt failed, leaving the White with a slim but decisive 20-19 lead.
"I was more of a spectator today," he said. "I didn't really care about the outcome. I don't coach 11 of them. I coach all 90."

Woosnam victorious at Masters
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA. Ga. — Tom Watson and Jose-Marie Olazabal gave themselves a chance to win the Masters yesterday, but they didn't.
"My cup couldn't stay full enough, I guess." Watson said. "I played well enough to have a chance to win it." He could do it. That what's disappointing."
"I played well, but I'm disappointed because of the finish," said Olazabal, the Spaniard who reached the final hole in a three-way tie for the lead despite having a quadruple-boyage 7 on his second-round card.
Watson, a two-time Masters winner, and Olazabal were tied with Ian Woosnam of Wales at 11 under going to the 2nd hole.
Oqalabaz, playing a twosome ahead of the other two, caught bunkers in the fairway and alongside the green, falling back with a bogey-5.
Watson siced his tee shot into the woods on the right, caught the trap with his second shot and blasted out 30 feet by the hole. It took him three putts to get down, dropping him into a tie for third.
Woosnam claimed the title with a par on the final hole.
Watson appeared to be out of contention when he dropped four shots behind Woosam with a double-boy5 on the 12th.
He sank a 15 foot pit for an eagle on No. 13, then scored from 8 to 10 feet for another eagle on 3 on 15, creat-
tion of the hole that remained until the final hole
Watson said he and Wooam waited 20 to 25 minutes to tee off on 13, giving him a long time to remember the double-bogey on 12 and to think he needed an eagle to get back in it.
"Unfortunately, I didn't think about 18湿度. "Watson said. "It's a lot of fun when you have to wait 25 minutes." "I don't understand," you just hit it in the sturdy water."

It was a long day for Graceland as it was pulverized 28-3 by the Jayhawks.
It was a long day for the Jayhawk players as they showed up at 9 a.m. to get the field ready after Saturday night's rainstorm.
It was also a long day for the person in charge of the Kansas record book.
Simply put, the Kansas-Graceland College baseball game at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium yesterday afternoon for a long day for everyone concerned.
In all, five school records were set and another was tied.

A Kansas record 23 singles, which bettered the old record of 20 set in 1969.
A Kansas record 27 RB1, which eclipsed the old record of 22 set in
1988.
One record that the Jayhawks failed to reach, however, was the all-time record of Jayhawk runs scored in a game. That record, 31 runs set against Haskell Junior College in 1984, narrowly missed by the Jayhawks.
"Dung, I knew I should have hit," said Kansas pitcher Eric Stoneipper, whose playing time has been added to the pitching mound this year.
The Jayhawks' dismantling of Graceland was their fourth win in a row. Kansas took two games from Hardin-Simmons University during the weekend and clipped Wichita State on Thursday.
Gibson picked on an 0-1 pitch and drove it more than halfway up the bleachers in right field for his first homer as a Royal. In the eighth, Gibson homered off Eric Plunk down the right-field line.

Kansas assistant coaches Wilson Kilmer and Brad Hill coached the Jayhawks from the sixth inning on Kansas head coach Dave Bingham left the game for a recruiting visit to Phoenix.
After the 'Hawks had established a comfortable lead, Hill said that he had only one concern.
The victory completed a 42 season-opening home stand for the Royals.
"I had a concern with concentration," he said. "We've been working hard trying to put confidence back in him." Hopefully, some guys got it today.
The Jayhawks, 25-17 over and 6-6 in the Big Eight Conference, will play Emporia State at 7 to tomorrow night at Hoopn-Good Stadium.

Freshman catcher Monica Gormley said the Kansas softball team accomplished most of its goals duri- nally in the OKlahoma and Kearney State.
"We won all of our games, so we can't really complain," Gormley
He said that Kearney State's pitcher was not overpowering and that Kansas should have hit off of her better.
She said Kansas had a tough time adjusting to the different pitcher's speeds. Gormley said the Sooner pitcher's ball was much faster than the Kearney State, when the Jayhawks found themselves waiting on the ball.
Kansas coach Kalum Haack said he was disappointed with the team's hitting even though the Jayhawks won all four games.
Haack said the lack of direction had come about from the attitudes of

He said that past losses had not been affecting the Jayhawks, but that they did not seem to have the driving desire they needed.
"We're not hungry like I would like us to be." Haack said.
Haack said junior shortstop Christy Arterburn and sophomore pitcher Jill Bailey played some of the games during games on the weekend.
The Jayhawks are on a six-game winning streak.
"If there's a positive thing besides the win today (against Kearney State), it's Jill's pitching."
Junior pitcher Shelly Sack's record improved to 8.0 after her victory against Kearney State on Saturday.
Freshman pitcher Stephan Williams picked up both victories against Oklahoma. She pitched a no-hitter Friday.
Haack said. "It was one of her better performances."
Arterbun went nine for 15 during the weekend, with five runs scored. She had three stolen bases against Kearney State on Saturday.
