Sports University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, April 11, 1990 13 Bearcats roll past Jayhawks Northwest Missouri's pitching leaves Kansas at 'disadvantage' By Brent Maycock Kansan sportswriter E. Joseph Zuroa/KANSAN Kansas second baseman Kevin Marozas tags out Northwest Missouri State's Bryan Wandrev as he attempts to steal second base. Despite suffering from the fbu, Northwest Missouri State pitcher David Suggs pitched a complete-game, 10-3 victory against Kansas last night at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium. Kansas baseball "nurgy pitched a great game," Kansas coach Dave Bingham said. "When they can roll out one of their leaders on a week, we're really at disadvantage." Kansas has two days off before it travels to Stillwater, Okla., for a four-game series this weekend. "I'm glad I got a Division I win," Suggs said. "They're a good ballclub. They just must not have had their stickons tonight." The Jayhawks, 16-17, could manage only four hits off Sugs. The fifth-ranked Division II Beacons colled three in five different Jayhawks pitchers. "We went into this game to try and get some experience for some of our bulpen guys," Bingham said. "I thought the guys were going to be a role." The Jayhawks took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Right fielder Denard Stewart doubled to left field to start the inning and then advanced to third on Sugg's wild pitch. After third baseman Gerry Camara grounded out, catcher Garry Schmidt hit a — Dave Bingham Kansas baseball coach 'Offensively, they got the momentum and they just kept the pressure on us.' sacrifice fly to center field and Stewart scored. Northwest Missouri State tied the game in the third and then scored two runs in the fourth and fifth innings and led 5-1. Two of the runs came on Bearcat third baseman Dave Baldwin's two-run home run. Kansas scored twice in the seventh and pulled within two. tum and they just kept the pressure on us." Schmidt led off the inning with a walk. With one out, second baseman Kevin Marozas tripped to right field past a diving Bryan Wendry, scoring Schmidt. Marazos scored on field fielder Steve Meeks' ground out. "We knew these midweek games were tough, and we're going to have to hit," Bingham said. "But we're not a good打比赛 club right now." Bingham said the experience could be valuable to his team during the Big Eight Conference games. "It's hard to Iose," he said. "Maybe if we can keep it in perspective, somewhere down the line it will help us." "Offensively, they got the moment NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE 10, KANSAS 3 Northwest Mo.

Price, who planned the program with help from Guelderon, said he received great response from the surrounding areas and participated in the program is being organized without help of the Athletic Department. "I think it's a lot of fun," Price said. "And I sort of get to pretend that I know how to play basketball." The team has scheduled games in Chanute, Eureka, Garnett, Sabetha, Osawatomie, Olathe. Burlington, Ottawa and Williamsburg. Most of the games will be played in high school gymnastics and sports composed mainly of teachers. A percentage of the $2 admission fee for the games will go to charitable organizations chosen by the individual communities. Price said that not all charities had been disclosed but that the Eureka proceeds would go to leukemia victims. Olate the North High School will use its proceeds to pay for a drug-free prom. Enjoyment is the main objective for the basketball players. Price "All these games are for fun, so I'll probably shoot the ball everytime I touch it," he said. said. "It gives us the chance to go around, help, entertain people and make some money for good causes," he said. "It's a chance to play without pressure and make other people smile." Calloway, who just returned from an all-star game in Japan, said the games also would provide an opportunity to see the seniors play or those people who were selected to play basketball tickets during the season. Kansas' prospect will attend Texas Bv Molly Reid Kansan sportswrite Another Kansas basketball recruiting prospect decided yesterday not to become a Jawhawk. The decision came just one day before the official spring signing period, which began today and will end May 15. Recruiting Von Bennett, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, said he would attend the University of Texas, El Paso, in the fall. "I thought it was the better situation for me," Bennett said, just minutes after telling his coach of his decision. Bennett said he had limited his choices to Kansas, UTEP, San Diego State and the University of Arizona before making his final decision. Northeastern coach Larry Gibson said that he tried not to involve himself in his players' decisions. He was very happy and happy if Bennett had chosen Kansas. Gipson said he was happy with the progress of guard Terry Brown during his first year at Kansas. He said Gipson at Northeastern last year. Bennett's greatest assets are his abilities to score and rebound, which are what the Jayhawks are looking for, Gipson said. Bennett averaged 15.3 points and 8.9 rebounds a game this season. He was named first team All-Bi-State Conference and first team All-Region for National Junior College Region II. The announcement of Bennett's choice came just four days after the announcement that Kansas center Pekka Markkanen and Kenneth Roberts would not attend the University in the fall. Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams said Monday that getting a big man was an obvious priority for Kansas but that it was impossible to tell who would fill the four available scholarships. "It's like getting married," he said. "Both parties have to agree. If I had it my way, we'd sign four people on the first day, and I would so play golf." One player the Jayhawks do plan to sign today is Wichita South High School senior Steve Woodberry, who verbally commit Wichita South basketball coach Steve Eck said there was no reason to question the 6-3 point guard's commitment. Woodberry made 58 percent of his field goal attempts during his senior season, averaging 20.3 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists a game. 'it's like getting married. Both parties have to agree. Kansas coach Roy Williams Eck said that Woodberry played all five positions in high school and that his natural court instincts amplified his athletic talent. "He'll fit into Kansas just fine," Eck said. "That's why he chose it." Another noted big-man possibility for Kansas is 6-10, 210 pound center David Johanning of Hutchinson Community College. Johanning was the leading rebounder at Hutchinson for two years and his coach, David Farrar, said he was an excellent passer and high percentage shooter. "His strength is his ability to make the people around him play better," Farrar said. "He creates the attitude needed for winning. There aren't too many styles he can't fit in." Farrar said he would not comment on any recruiting decisions made by any of his players. Herbert Jones, a 6-5 forward from Butler County Community College, is also a prospect for Kansas. Cortez Barnes, a 6-8 forward from Wichita Heights High School, and Val Barnes, a 6-2 guard from Butler Community College, also earned the Buckeyes' best rating. However, Val Barnes is not expected to make a decision today.

Concerns 40 8 players accuse NFL of antitrust violations The antitrust suit, filed in U.S. District Court, was the latest in a series of actions that have kept the league and its players in courtrooms by pushing for bargaining table since the players' 24-day strike ended in October 1987. NEWARK, N.J. — The NFL, which sued its d dormant players' union 10 days ago, was sued in turn yesterday by eight players, including Green Maijowski, who said league rules free agency violated antitrust laws. The Associated Press While the NFL Players Association, which says it has decertified, was not directly involved in the suit, Jeffrey Kessler, one of the attorneys involved, said the association was helping the players prepare suits. Gene Upshaw, NFLPA executive director, said the union fully supported the lawsuit. "Our attorneys will deal with it," the statement said. "We have not received a copy of the complaint and have no comments on the merits of the case. Further litigation is no answer to the problem arising from this labor dispute." In a statement, the NFL Management Council said the suit came as no response. Despite the court action filed March 31, Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has called for the labor dispute to be settled through bargaining, and the Management Council statement repeated that view. Major league pay sets new record The plaintiffs, who also include New York Jets' running back Freeman McNeil, became free agents Feb. 1 but were left unprotected under Plan B. "If anybody is in position to have leverage in this thing, it's me," Majkowski said. "I think all the players who have heard my cause are glad I'm doing this." The suit asks that the court stop the NFL from implementing a league-wide wage scale, tentatively scheduled to take effect in 1983, and that it compensate the eight players for the financial damage they incurred by not being allowed a free market for their services. In addition to Pro Bowler Makiowski and McNeil, the other plaintiffs are cornerback Mark Collins and running back Lee Rouson of the New York Glants; linebacker Niko Noga of Detroit; offensive tackles David Richards of San Diego and Irv Eatman of Kansas City; and safety Tim McDonald of Phoenix.
