All Anna Keeney wanted to do
was check her grade from a recent
anatomy test. She stopped at a
computer in Anschutz Library and
typed in her username and pass-
word to log in to the main screen.
Then she waited.
Ten minutes later, the computer
finished loading.
It can be frustrating, said
Keeney, a sophomore from
Overland Park. Itd be nice if they
could make it faster.
Keeney is one of many students
who have experienced delayed
login times on library computers.
KU Information Technology is
working to fix this problem after
receiving a steady stream of com-
plaints from students.
Some students said they waited
15 minutes to log in to Novell, the
librarys network operating system.
Library and IT officials said the
problem had existed for several
weeks.
Weve definitely heard a sig-
nificant amount of student input
as far as frustrations with the login
times, said Rebecca Smith, KU
Libraries communications direc-
tor. We are working very hard with
IT to find a workable solution in as
short a time frame as possible.
KU Libraries is a client of KU
Information Technology, which
manages all computer equip-
ment and networks located in the
Universitys seven libraries. Though
IT officials were unable to provide
a definite deadline, they hope to
have the login problem fixed soon.
IT officials said the login prob-
lem could be caused by a combina-
tion of things, including overloaded
hard drives, computer applications,
the login image and the network
itself. Theyve scheduled a meet-
ing this week to further discuss
the issue and troubleshoot possible
solutions.

Wireless in Anschutz
Student Body President Michael
Wade Smith is working with library
and IT officials to address the issue.
He first approached library offi-
cials after hearing complaints from
students about the slow wireless
Internet connection in Anschutz
Library.
Smith said the login problem
took priority over the slow Internet.
He said fixing the login problem
would cost less and could poten-
tially improve the Internet con-
nection.
Regardless, IT officials are
planning to upgrade the wireless
Internet in Anschutz Library as
part of phase two of the Learning
Studio project. The Learning
Studio is the renovated study space
in Anschutz Library. The improved
wireless network is scheduled to be
installed by January, according to
the IT website.
Since the Learning Studio
opened earlier this semester,
Rebecca Smith said daily traffic
in Anschutz Library had increased
by 30 percent. She said Anschutz
Library had about 250,000 visitors
every year.
Of course as you add that addi-
tional traffic it puts a lot of stress
on the wireless network, Smith
said. Its been a very high priority
for us.

The rain pelted the sidewalk
outside of Jackpot Music Hall like
a two-hour drumroll. The second
night of competition for the title of
KJHKs Farmers Ball battle of the
bands champion was on: four bands,
one prize, and only 30 minutes to
shine.
The night before, eight bands
from Lawrence and surrounding
areas took the same stage, trying to
make it to Friday nights final-four
round. Most of the bands have been
together for about one year. The
first place prize would mean a lot

Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
To encourage people to stand up
against domestic violence and sup-
port its victims, this week is domes-
tic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, Jana
Mackey, a graduate student from
Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend
in an act of domestic violence.
Meredith Pavicic, president of the
Commission on the Status of Women
and a junior from Leawood, said the
weeks events were planned around
the Jana Mackey Distinguished
Lecture Series, which was estab-
lished after Mackeys death. This
week will focus on teaching students
the various ways in which they can
be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that
people are uncomfortable talking
about domestic violence. She said
people have preconceived ideas
about domestic violence victims.
This can happen to anyone, Pavicic
said. It affects so many people.
She said Mackey was the perfect
example showing that it can happen
to anyone. Mackey was a feminist,
a law student and fought against
violence against women. According
to the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, one out of four
women will experience domestic
violence in her lifetime.
The lecture series was created to
demonstrate to people that this can
happen to anybody, Pavicic said.
The weeks events focus on the
various aspects of domestic violence
ranging from awareness to preven-
tion and violence within the lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender com-
munity to definitions of masculinity.
All events are free to the public.
Everyone should know this
information, she said.

full of great talent and he was glad

he didnt have to single-handedly
pick the winner. This year was no
different.
Will Nots won this years prize,
which totaled more than $1,000 in
value and included a package of
three music videos with Musicians
Network.
Will Nots also received a $200
gift card to Mass. Street Music and
a package of 35 T-shirts from Blue
Collar Press.
We had a lot of people that came
both nights to support us, Tyler
Francis said. It feels really good.
Francis, a local producer and one
of the initial members of Will Nots,
said he has followed Farmers Ball
since he was in junior high. He said
it let him get to know more about
the artists that he looked up to in the
community.
Now I can hopefully be one of
those guys that kids can dig on and
hopefully aspire to be in their own
Farmers Ball, Francis said before
entering the competition.
Will Nots is a Lawrence band
made up of fve men who grew up
around Farmers Ball. A self-pro-
claimed boogie and soul group, the
Will Nots have performed as the
back-up band to Approach, a local
hip-hop artist.
Radar Defender, Cherry Tree
Parade, I Heard A Lion, Reward Tree,
Elevator Action, Will Nots, This Past
Winter, and Morris Mars all brought
different styles of music to this truly
eclectic battle of the bands.
Despite the obvious desire of win-
ning, many of the bands were happy
to simply perform in front of a new
crowd. Scott Burr, a senior from
Topeka and member of the compet-
ing band Radar Defender, is glad
to give his recently formed band a
chance to perform.
Were just excited to play in front
of a large group of people that may
not have normally come to our
shows, Burr said.
Radar Defender was one of the
four bands to make it to Fridays
final round. At 10 p.m., the band
performed first for a slowly building
crowd. The rain controlled the influx
of people from the street which cre-
ated an atmosphere of quiet compet-
itiveness. The energy had to come
from the band, and the Farmers Ball
format endorsed that energy.
It encourages people to step up
their game because they are compet-
ing, Burr said.
As both nights progressed, the
crowd filled the area around the
stage. Made up of friends and fans
of the bands and bar patrons, the
crowd had to make the ultimate
decision Friday night. When asked
to vote for their two favorite bands
at the end of the night, the crowd
made it clear that Will Nots were
deserving of the title they were hop-
ing for: 2010 Farmers Ball battle of
the bands champions.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONT VERNON, N.H.
Were about to do the most evil
thing this town has ever seen.
Murder defendant Steven Spader
is said to have uttered those words
as he and three other teens alleg-
edly drove to a house they had
targeted in this
town of 2,000
to burglarize it
and kill its occu-
pants for the
thrill of it.
Spaders trial
begins today,
and jurors were
put on notice
during selection that they would
see graphic photos of the victims
and may hear from survivor Jaimie
Cates, now 12. They were prepared
for attorneys on the other side
not to even put on their own wit-
nesses.
Many potential jurors were dis-
qualified after saying they were
sure Spader was guilty, or were ter-
rified by the crime and the prospect
of viewing the evidence. Some said
they would be skeptical if Spaders
lawyers did not put on evidence of
their own.
In Mont Vernon, the trial is
reawakening the brutal crime that
longtime resident and state Rep.
Linda Foster said ripped at the
heart and soul of a sweet little New
England town.
I dont think you ever get over
it, but I think the trial just means
everything will get stirred up again,
said Susan King Ecklund as she
and other vol-
unteers planted
bulbs in front
of the fire sta-
tion last week.
It just rocks
everybody.
The intrud-
ers cut power to
the contempo-
rary ranch-style home before dawn
Oct. 4, 2009. Once inside, they
used an iPod taken from Jaimie
Cates room to illuminate their
path to the master bedroom, where
Jaimie and her mother, 42-year-
old Kimberly Cates, slept. Jaimies
father, David Cates, was away on a
business trip.
Prosecutors say Spader, then
17, and Christopher Gribble, then
19, hacked mother and daughter
with a machete and a knife, killing
Kimberly and severely wounding
Jaimie. The girl survived by feign-
ing death as her assailants contin-
ued to slash and kick her, she told
police.
Jaimie, who had achieved a black
belt in karate just four months
earlier, called police from a cell
phone and was still conscious when
Milford Sgt. Kevin Furlong arrived
at the house.
They killed my Mommy, she
told him, according to a state police
affidavit.
Two other teens in the house
at the time, William Marks and
Quinn Glover, have reached plea
agreements and are expected to
testify against Spader. Prosecutors
say they witnessed but did not take
part in the attacks. Gribble is set to
go to trial in February.
It was Marks who wrote a friend
from prison about Spaders alleged
most evil thing statement en
route to the house, and a prosecu-
tor quoted the letter during Marks
plea hearing.
David and Jaimie Cates still live
at the house, but the facade is dif-
ferent. A woman who answered the
door last week said no one wanted
to speak to a reporter.
They killed my mommy.

THE NExT pANEL
Mcclatchy-tribune
KANSAS CITY, Mo. One of
the more chilling scenes in The
Assassination of Dr. Tiller is cap-
tured in grainy courtroom video
from March 2009.
There is Tiller, the Wichita doc-
tor, on trial for 19 misdemeanors
related to his controversial late-term
abortion practice.
And there, in the back of the
courtroom, seated next to the leader
of anti-abortion group Operation
Rescue, is Scott Roeder, the Kansas
City man who two months after
Tiller was cleared on all 19 charges
walked into Tillers church and
shot him.
The first documentary film since
Roeders sentencing to 50 years
without parole comes from MSNBC
anchor Rachel Maddow, whose
show at 9 p.m. EDT Monday will
be pre-empted for the premiere of
The Assassination of Dr. Tiller.
Maddow, who co-created and
narrated the film, said she did it to
shed new light on the contentious
case.
Our motto here is, Were trying
to increase the amount of useful
information in the world, she said
in a phone interview last week.
But like Tiller himself, that expla-
nation is more complicated than
first appears.
The film, 43 minutes long with
commercial breaks, begins as a
straightforward true-crime account,
a specialty of one of the films in-
house production units, MSNBC
Films.
An usher at Wichitas Reformation
Lutheran Church, Gary Hoepner,
recounts the morning of May 31,
2009, when he saw Roeder raise
the gun to Tillers head and pull
the trigger. Wichita homicide chief
Ken Landwehr, Sedgwick County
District Attorney Nola Foulston and
a member of Roeders defense team,
Mark Rudy, describe Roeders pros-
ecution and conviction.
Then the film rewinds to tell the
story of the two men and what led
them to that fateful day: how Tiller
became an abortion provider, locked
horns with Operation Rescue,
was shot in both arms by Shelley
Shannon in 1993 and defied every
attempt to shut down his practice.
New Tiller documentary has
chilling courtroom footage

Man arrested after
retrieving his dog
Hydro, okla. An elderly
Hydro man landed in jail after
springing his prized pooch from
the town kennel. Instead of pay-
ing a $100 fne for not having
his poodle on a leash, 73-year-
old edwin Fry decided to bust
buddy tough out, driving his
lawnmower to the city pound
oct. 13 and breaking into the
cage with bolt cutters.
As the pair escaped, police
ofcer chris chancellor inter-
cepted them.
chancellor told the okla-
homan ofcers had received
numerous complaints about
buddy tough, who had been in
the pound before. He said Fry
had been told he could retrieve
the dog and sort out the fne in
court.
Ive been in law enforcement
20 years, and this is the frst
time Ive known of anyone that
has busted a dog out of jail,
chancellor told the oklahoman.
Fry spent several days in jail,
and faces a municipal charge
of allowing an animal to run
at-large.
Fry didnt deny the charges.
He told the oklahoman that he
warned police to stay away from
his dog unless they wanted to
face his shotgun.
As for buddy tough, he was
euthanized while Fry was in jail.

Sisters death showcases

MenTAL HeALTH
O
n Oct. 19, the Kansas
Governmental Ethics
Commission announced
its decision to hold a hearing
regarding complaints of unethical
behavior made against former
Athletics Director Lew Perkins.
Tis decision
demonstrates
the states strong
commitment
to ethics and
holding people
accountable for
their actions.
Tis is a
positive step.
It shows that
possible unethical
behavior will
be investigated
and helps ensure
that the highest
ethical standards are upheld at the
University. Students should feel
reassured by this decision to take
action.
Te committee will address two
complaints made against Perkins.
Te frst allegation Perkins is
facing is for accepting athletic
equipment from Medical
Outftters in 2005 in exchange for
preferential seating at sporting
events. Te second claim is that
Perkins violated state employee
policy by receiving physical
therapy sessions from the
University of Kansas Department
of Sports Medicine, also in 2005.
On Oct. 19, Te Kansan
reported that Perkins could face
up to $15,000
in fnes. If the
commission
fnds him
guilty, he
should be held
accountable.
Te
commission
is a separate
entity from the
University. It a
governmental
body that is
responsible
for the
administration, interpretation
and enforcement of the Campaign
Finance Act as well as other laws
that deal with fnancial disclosure,
the regulation of lobbying and
conficts of interest. It is an
appropriate committee to oversee
this hearing.
Some may argue that these
allegations should have been
handled by the University, but
Jack Martin, deputy director
of communications for the
University, told Te Kansan on
Oct. 19 that the commission
was the best choice because they
handle ethical issues at the state
level.
Students should be supportive
of the decision to have this
commission handle the situation.
Regardless of the outcome of
the upcoming hearings, students
should make the University
aware that they will not tolerate
unethical behavior. Tis should
be especially emphasized with
the Athletics Department as it
continues its ongoing search for
the new athletics director. Perkins
replacement should start his or her
career at the University with his or
her personal ethical behavior, as
well as the departments, as a top
priority and with the knowledge
that he or she will be held
accountable for their actions.
Te hearing is at 1:30 p.m.
on Nov. 16 and it will be held in
Topeka in the commissions ofce.
Students should be aware of the
outcome of the hearings and
should support the commissions
decision.

Jon Stewart wants to change the
way Americans discuss politics.
Unlike those on the far right and
far lef of the political spectrum,
Stewart hopes to foster intelligent
discourse among the middle rather
than using tactics like fear-mon-
gering.
Besides his television show,
Stewarts political instrument is the
Oct. 30 Rally to Restore Sanity.
In a time when political extremists
are directing political conversa-
tion, Stewarts event hopes to allow
political moderates to voice their
opinions. It is doubtful, though,
that the rally will make a signif-
cant impact.
Te Rally to Restore Sanity is
obviously a parody of conservative
Glenn Becks Aug. Rally to Restore
Honor. Although its intent may
be serious, the rally has already
taken a step back away from its
goal. How can a comedian be taken
seriously, especially when his col-
league Stephen Colbert is holding
an even less serious Rally to Keep
Fear Alive on the same day? Many
critics have already dismissed the
purpose of Stewarts rally as illegiti-
mate based solely on the comedic
context.
Another factor going against
Stewarts rally is the targeted
audience. Whereas Beck was sup-
ported by passionate older Tea
Partiers and conservatives, Stewart
is relying on moderate college
students and young adults. Sadly,
the last election was an exception
to the long-standing rule that our
demographic does not get involved
with politics. Young voters in 2008
were most likely liberals motivated
by a radical and charismatic voice
of change not moderates who
wanted to discuss issues using their
indoor voice, as Stewart surmises.
Discouraging excessive and loud
behaviors will only alienate many
of Stewarts serious followers.
Because the audience is so
young, the date is also an issue.
An Oct. 30 date the day before
Halloween will limit the rallys
audience to mostly Washington,
D.C.-area residents who will not
have to travel. Honestly, which
moderate college student would be
willing to travel to Washington and
miss out on Halloween for the sake
of a rally? I doubt the same crowd
that watches the Daily Show for
laughs and kicks.
Unless Stewarts rally outnum-
bers that of Becks, which saw
80,000 participants, people from
both parties will deem Stewarts
event not a political stance against
extremism, but rather a cool social
gathering. Currently, attendance
is expected to be low, especially
since Colbert is going to take some
attendees away from Stewart with
his own rally.
However paradoxical as it may
seem, it would not hurt if the rally
for sanity included some passion
and shouting. Yet, millions of
people whispering are just as loud
as a few hundred yelling. In the
unlikely scenario of Stewarts rally
gaining momentum, time would be
better spent listening to a hysterical
Colbert than trying to unsuccess-
fully change a nations mindset
with an inefective Stewart.

Im actually going to go the libertarian route (it does happen
sometimes) and urge the privatization of marriage. All the ben-
efts the government gives to the married (over the unmarried
or those they dont consider married) is nothing short of social
engineering. Marriage is a private matter, and whats more, an
arbitrary line is going to be drawn somewhere - Gays can marry,
but not to more than one guy or the cousin, though they can
under 18, but only on Tuesdays. On personal issues like these,
sometimes it really is best to default to privatization and punt the
issue.

To imagine that any partial or full orientation change is even
possible still does not denote the fact that the vast, vast super-
majority of the time the changes do NOT happen. That the norm
in ex-gay therapy is absolute failure. Furthermore, Im not going
to read the news article you have and the ONE study you man-
aged to drudge up- why? Because the actual science organizations,
the APA, etc., do not espouse those viewpoints. And why is that?
Because their studys and accumulated science is far more quantifi-
able, more provable, and downright outweighs that of the corner
of religiously motivated biblical science that is notorious for lying
and having been proven as much..

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
S
even months ago, I found
out my 11-year-old sister
committed suicide. I am
still plagued by the horren-
dous reality of those words. A
large majority of my family has
sufered from depression and
mental illness myself included
but few would have suspected
my sister of being so utterly
hopeless at such a young age.
When I lef for college last
year, the last thing I was worried
about was my little sisters mental
state. With so many things in my
world changing, I was fghting to
manage my own anxiety and de-
pression by attempting to achieve
balance an elusive ideal. Not
for a second did I think my
sisters life was in jeopardy.
Silent sufering needs to end.
More needs to be done to help
those inficted with a form of
mental illness, as it is already dif-
fcult for them to seek help. Ac-
cording to the National Institute
of Mental Health, among those
diagnosed with major depres-
sion, 50 percent dont receive
treatment. And what about those
who are never diagnosed? Im
sure the statistics would skyrock-
et if it were possible to know the
exact number of people who are
lef undiagnosed and untreated
for mental illnesses.
Te current solutions leave
those battling with a mental
illness feeling chastised; they are
labeled and medicated, made to
feel like there are no alternatives.
Te truth is there are alterna-
tive treatments that are safe,
efective, and afordable. Te
challenge being many of these
alternative treatments involve
changing the way one lives.
Among the myriad of ways
available to treat mental illness,
few attempt to do anything
more than treat the symptoms.
Discovering the cause of mental
illness is imperative to full
recovery. Medication, at times, is
the only option lef for those with
severe mental illness for which
the cause is unknown. However,
doctors and psychiatrists need
to search for the cause of mental
illness on a case-by-case basis,
rather than turning a person into
a science experiment for the lat-
est anti-depressants.
Dr. Mark Hyman of Te Huf-
ington Post lists seven factors
that should be examined when
searching for the cause of ones
depression: Food allergies, hypo-
thyroidism, vitamin D, omega-3
fats, B12, mercury and exercise.
Five of these factors could eas-
ily be discovered by examining
ones diet and exercise routine,
and the other two could be found
by simple lab tests. Dr. Hyman
recommends exercising for 30
minutes fve times a week to raise
BDNF levels (which he describes
as the brains natural antidepres-
sant), getting tested for mercury
toxicity and hypothyroidism, and
reevaluating dietary choices and
taking vitamins when necessary.
I have been working to fght
of my own inner demons by
reevaluating and changing my
lifestyle. Mental illness needs
to be taken seriously. Rather
than disguising, ignoring, or not
recognizing the symptoms, the
mental health community needs
to invest their time and energy
on the discovery and prevention
of mental illness.
I refuse to let my sisters death
be in vain. I lost my 11-year-old
sister; the present mental health
system obviously is not all that
spectacular if an 11-year-olds
sadness was lef undiscovered,
and her hope was not restored.

For the last 40 years engineer-
ing students have enjoyed watching
the crabapple tree outside of Eaton
Hall change colors. It has become
a staple for many students during
their time at the University. But it
might not be there for long.
Some people may only see a
tree; I see an amazing living struc-
ture that gives a lot of people plea-
sure through its beauty, said Jill
Hummels, director of public rela-
tions for the School of Engineering.
When it catches the snow its noth-
ing short of stunning.
In January, the school received
a grant from the National Institute
of Standards and Technology that
will provide enough support to
construct a new research facility.
The work inside the building will
focus on materials, measurements,
infrastructure and sustainable
environment. As for now the build-
ing is tentatively being called
the Materials, Measurement and
Sustainable Environment Center.
Currently, the school plans to
construct the new building where
the tree is located.
Engineering Student Council and
Graduate Engineering Association
have gotten involved to deter-
mine how to preserve the tree. At
first the plan was to uproot the
tree and plant it somewhere else.
However, the tree is surrounded
by metal pipes which run under-
ground that cancel out landscaping
companies use of machinery that
would detract the tree. A fund-
raiser was put together in order
to raise $2,000. However, after the
landscaping companies took a look
at the tree, the cost to re-plant the
tree rose to $11,000. No other land-
scaping company could guarantee
the tree would live past a year.
Even though we are engineers,
we still do appreciate beauty, said
Mahender Mandala, a graduate
student from Hyderabad, India
and president of the Graduate
Engineering Association.
Hummels said she noticed the
tree when she first began work-
ing for the school 10 years ago.
Hummels said she couldnt help
but notice all the variations of col-
ors the tree took during each sea-
son. In the spring, as she describes,
the tree is a mass of white blooms,
the summer brings a profusion of
green, and in the fall you are able
to see red berries.
The two student groups decided
the $11,000 required to preserve
the tree without a one-year guar-
antee of survival is not the best
option.
Colin Davidson, engineering
student council president, admires
the tree the most in the spring.
Freshman year, I would
always notice the whole line of
trees leading up to Learned Hall.
said Davidson, a senior studying
mechanical engineering and busi-
ness administration from Overland
Park. However, there was this one
smaller tree that was separated
from the rest. I saw that it was a
unique tree and definitely stood
strong on its own.
The new plan of action is to con-
tact the Douglas County Master
Gardeners to see about some kind
of propagation from the tree. They
hope to take the best advice from
the Master Gardner, which could
include grafting a scion from the
tree or collecting seeds and plant-
ing them.
Hummels said she hoped the
master gardeners would point the
school in the right direction to
keep the tree around.
Raising funds to transplant the
tree is on hold, Hummels said. We
do know that if were successful in
propagating the tree, we have some
areas identified southwest of Eaton
where it would be safe to plant for
future generations to enjoy.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
SIMPLY OFFENSIVE
COMMENtarY
T
he only thing that is
getting beaten worse
than the Jayhawks
in conference play is coach
Turner Gills perception
among the fans. Another
blowout loss, this time to
Texas A&M 45-10, is just fuel
for the fire that is putting heat
on the head coach who is only
seven games into his career at
Kansas.
As if there was ever any
doubt before this week, Kansas
has become the worst team in
the Big 12. Theyve become
that team opponents look
forward to playing because
its fun to win by five touch-
downs. Theyve become that
team who can help opponents
on three game losing streaks
leave on the right track.
The Jayhawks are only three
seasons removed from win-
ning the Orange Bowl and it
was only last year Kansas had
expected to compete for the
Big 12 North title.
The worst part is that mini-
mal, if any, improvements are
being made from week to
week. So despite the clear lack
of talent on this team, a good
coach would still take a group
of players and make them bet-
ter as the season progresses.
You definitely could not
say that happened between
the Baylor and Kansas State
games. And although the
Kansas offense seemed as if
they may be able to compete
with Texas A&M early in the
game, devastating mistakes
killed any hope the Jayhawks
might have had.
I cant really put a finger
on what exactly happened,
tight end Tim Biere said.
Something just always hap-
pens.
The end result was a stadi-
um which is seeing dwindling
attendance and an increasing
number of fans leaving early.
At the center of this disaster
is Gill, who is dealing with
mounting criticism. What is
there to say about him? He
has been outscored 159-24
in three Big 12 games. He
won against New Mexico
State, who is 1-6 and against
Georgia Tech who hasnt been
ranked since it lost to Kansas
and already has lost three
times this year. Still, they are
defending ACC champions
but the reality is that some-
times, you just get lucky.
It doesnt help that both
quarterbacks Kale Pick and
Jordan Webb left the game
against A&M with injuries,
but it wasnt as if Kansas was
competitive until they left the
game. The Jayhawks never led.
We just try to get to better,
Gill said. Thats all we can do
is try and get better as a foot-
ball team and obviously we
have injuries.
What makes Gills situation
at Kansas even messier is the
fact that his contract makes it
very difficult and expensive

Team outmatched
despite previous win
By IaN CuMMINgs
icummings@kansan.com
Kansas fell in three sets to the
No. 12 Iowa State Cyclones on
Saturday, outmatched offensively
and defensively by the team it
upset on Oct. 9. The Cyclones
were ranked No. 10 in the earlier
meeting, making them the first
top-10 opponent the Jayhawks had
defeated in program history.
Middle blocker freshman
Caroline Jarmoc said that the
team knew the Cyclones would
be tough to beat and went into the
match aggressively, but struggled
with errors and had trouble with
defense on both the front and
back rows.
In some areas of the game,
we werent as fully polished as we
needed to beat a No. 12-ranked
team, Jarmoc said. It was just the
little details that held us back.
Iowa State (15-4 overall, 8-3 Big
12) advanced to its fourth-straight
win, taking all three sets with
scores of 25-20, 25-23 and 25-20.
The Jayhawks kept the games
close for much of the contest,
but couldnt sustain a lead over a
Cyclones offense with three play-
ers posting double-digit kills and
a defense that racked up 55 digs
17 more than the Jayhawks did.
Iowa State took an early lead in
the opening set and never allowed
Kansas to get more than two
points ahead.
Jarmoc helped the Jayhawks
come close to tying the score early
in the first set with three kills on
a 6-1 run. She went on to record
eight kills with a team best .438
hitting efficiency and four blocks.
But, once having fallen behind,
Kansas could not catch up.
Kansas brought the deficit back
to a single point again later in set
with kills by junior outside hit-
ter Allison Mayfield and senior
outside hitters Karina Garlington
and Jenna Kaiser, together with
a Cyclones error. Iowa State
answered back with three con-
secutive points and led by five in
the end. As a team, the Jayhawks
hit for only .081 against the
Cyclones .231 in the first set
and went on to improve their
offense in the second set. But so
did the Cyclones.
Kaiser said the 0-3 loss wasnt
the way the team hoped to go
into the second half of conference
play.
I feel like we
were having some
problems defen-
sively, Kaiser
said. We werent
really running
down balls well.
We knew the
game plan, but I
guess they played
really well and
we didnt. We
just didnt follow through with the
information that we had.
The second set was a much
closer contest that saw Kansas and
Iowa State exchanging one-point
leads almost from start to finish.
Iowa State senior Victoria Henson
led the Cyclones with 16 kills in
the match, with a .222 hitting
efficiency and four service aces.
Junior Carly Jenson and sopho-
more Jamie Straube followed
with 10 and 11 kills, respectively.
The Jayhawk offense was led by
Garlington, who contributed 14
kills with a .229 hitting efficien-
cy. Iowa State followed a Kansas
error with a service ace to close
the match 25-23, which mirrored
in reverse
the end of
the second set
that Kansas
won in the
Oct. 9 match.
T h e
Cyclones led
set three from
the beginning,
allowing only
one tie score
at 8-8. Both teams saw less success
on offense, but Kansas remained
behind in the numbers with a hit-
ting efficiency of .163 against the
Cyclones .303. Iowa State out-
blocked Kansas 7-6 in the contest
as a whole and ended the set and
match with back-to-back kills by
Straube and one more from soph-
omore Alison Landwehr.
Coach Ray Bechard said the
Jayhawks would look to create
more defensive opportunities in
the upcoming match with Missouri
and turn close sets into wins.
We know weve got to do a bet-
ter job in endgame, Bechard said.
When its 20-20, 22-all, stepping
up and making good volleyball
plays.
Were going to get right back on
there, Bechard said of the upcom-
ing match at Missouri. And I
know well have a focused group
ready and the team will be hungry
to break through on the road, so
thats what well be looking for.
The Jayhawks hit the road
Wednesday for a Border
Showdown at Missouri. In their
last meeting, the Jayhawks topped
the Tigers in four sets to improve
the series record to 33-49 with
Missouri holding the advantage.
The match will be televised on
Metro Sports in Lawrence.
We knew the game plan,
but I guess they played
really well and we didnt.

Things have officially gotten
worse for the Kansas offense.
In the middle of their 45-10 loss
to Texas A&M on Saturday, quar-
terbacks Jordan Webb and Kale
Pick had their night ended by inju-
ries. Midway through the second
quarter, Webb marched the offense
down to the A&M 13-yard line,
one of the few sustained Kansas
drives of the night. KU was down
24-10 but on the verge of getting
back within seven points.
A collision on a six-yard scram-
ble on the following play injured
Webbs shoulder, but he decided to
stay quiet and remain in the game.
The decision was ill-advised, as

obviously we can only go up, it

L
ast spring, at the beginning of the
MLB season, I had already prepared
myself for another Yankees-Phillies
World Series. On paper they were clearly
the best two teams, both with potent offens-
es and strong pitching staffs.
At the outset of the playoffs a few weeks
back, I still believed another Yankees-
Phillies series was inevitable, and in the
divisional round of the playoffs both teams
swept their opponents, with relative ease.
So when the Texas Rangers and San
Francisco Giants both jumped out to 3-1
leads, I got excited.
Being realistic, the Yankees and Red Sox
dominate the baseball media. And the East
Coast was more than thrilled when the
Phillies awoke and finally started to become
the dominant force in the National League,
because it allowed them to diversify their
coverage by bringing a third team into the
conversation, one that was located a solid
93 miles away.
This year the fans get a fresh taste of new
talent. Both the Giants and Rangers have
fantastic aces in their rotation. Cliff Lee,
of the Rangers, boasts a stunning 7-0 post-
season record, and the Giants claim Tim
Lincecum, who has won the past two NL
Cy Young Awards as the best pitcher in the
National League.
And can you guess who the teams will
trot out to the mound in the World Series
Opener on Wednesday night? Thats right
Lincecum and Lee. I cant wait to witness
that pitching matchup.
These teams also host many intrigu-
ing characters. In Buster Posey, the Giants
feature a rookie catcher to guide their tal-
ented rotation, and he has also anchored
the clean-up spot in the lineup. Around
him are a bunch of guys considered cast-
offs or too old by most other teams. Their
middle infield is made up of the spry duo
of 32-year-old Freddy Sanchez and 34-year-
old Edgar Rentera.
The Rangers also have their feel good
stories, especially former first overall draft
pick Josh Hamiltons career restoration
after recovering from a drug and alcohol
addiction that left him out of baseball for
a few years. Since joining the Rangers in
2008 Hamilton has played in the All-Star
game for three consecutive years.
So baseball fans rejoice, because you
wont have to watch the Yankees claim their
28th title this fall. Instead we get to watch
to teams that havent been to the playoffs
since 2003 (Giants) and 1999 (Rangers)
compete for the title. And no matter what
happens on the field, baseball fans across
America win.
Jayhawks lose ffth
game of the season
kansas fell at the hands of ne-
braska on Friday 2-1. the Jayhawks
are now 1-8 in the Big 12 and 5-12
overall.
kansas goalkeeper kat Liebetrau

books, recording her 100th save

Liebetrau, a junior from centen-
nial, colo., grabbed fve saves in
the match, making her season

away from moving into ffth-place
on kansas all-time single season
save list.
nebraska led 1-0 at halftime,
and scored another goal within the
frst 10 minutes of the second half,
putting kansas away for good.
Whitney Berry scored the only
goal for kansas by way of a penalty
kick in the 85th minute. this was
Berrys second goal of the season.

12 match on the road against colo-
rado. the game starts at 2:30 p.m.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The
Tennessee Titans just dont lose
anymore to NFC teams, and
they keep finding new ways
and new stars.
Kerry Collins threw three
touchdowns to Kenny Britt, who
had the best game of his career
two days after being involved in
a bar fight, and the Titans scored
a team-record 27 unanswered
points in the fourth quarter to
beat the Philadelphia Eagles
37-19 on Sunday.
Britt had the best receiving
game in the NFL this season.
He caught touchdown passes of
26, 80 and 16 yards and fin-
ished with seven receptions for
225 yards all career highs for
the second-year player on a day
when he didnt start as punish-
ment for his role in the fight.
The Titans (5-2) won their
NFL-best 12th straight over the
NFC with Collins making his
first start in a year. Vince Young
was sidelined by a sprained left
knee and ankle that had him still
limping in pregame warmups.
The Eagles (4-3) blew a 19-10
lead despite sacking Collins
three times and forcing him into
three turnovers. But Philadelphia
couldnt convert any of those
turnovers into points.
The turning point came when
Tennessee, which had already
intercepted Kevin Kolb, stripped
him of the ball at the Titans 3
in the third quarter. Tennessee
drove for a field goal to pull
within 16-10.
David Akers kicked his fourth
and final field goal, a 28-yarder
giving Philadelphia a 19-10 lead,
early in the fourth quarter. He
had his own big day a week after
missing three attempts in a win
over Atlanta.
But Britt was the story of the
game.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher started
rookie Damian Williams instead
of Britt.
Britt shines, Titans win 37-19

The womens rowing team com-
peted against Kansas State this week-
end at the Sunflower Showdown
at the Tuttle Creek Reservoir. The
team encountered windy weather
that affected its overall ability to
race. The Jayhawks won the Varsity
Four race, and the Wildcats won the
other varsity and novice races.
Because of the windy conditions,
the teams had to resort to floating
starts. This meant that the races
couldnt successfully begin from the
starting platforms so the two teams
floated their boats until they were
close to the same area of course
and began to race. Because of this
default all race distances and times
were unofficial.
Coach Rob Catloth said he still felt
that the team was on the right track.
We feel like what we tried to
accomplish today we did a good job
at, Catloth said in a press release.
Were in step with where we want
to be right now as we finish up the
fall season and get ready for the
spring.
Jen Meyers, Kansas novice row-
ing coach, said the racing experi-
ence would help the team improve.
It was good to get our first race
under our belt, Myers said in a
press release. I think we have a
lot of talent and a ton of room
to improve. Everything we do is a
learning experience.

Chiefs cruise to 42-20 victory
aSSOCIaTeD PreSS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. For
almost three quarters, Todd
Bouman looked anything like an
inexperienced quarterback whod
just been signed off the street.
Finally, just as they expected,
the Kansas City Chiefs had a
mistake to pounce on. Derrick
Johnson returned an interception
for a touchdown and an eight-
point lead early in the third peri-
od and the momentum suddenly
belonged to KC.
Matt Cassel
threw two
t o u c h d o w n
passes to
Dwayne Bowe
and the Chiefs
rolled to a 42-20
victory over
the Jacksonville
Jaguars on
Sunday.
The Chiefs
(4-2), with the
most productive rushing attack in
the league coming in, ran for 236
yards and three TDs while over-
coming several penalties.
Bouman, who hadnt thrown
a touchdown pass in the regular
season since 2005, was signed this
week after David Garrard sus-
tained a concussion and backup
Trent Edwards hurt his thumb
in a loss on Monday night to
Tennessee. The 38-year-old hadnt
won as a starter since 2001 and
was out of football last season.
Still, the Jaguars (3-4) trailed
by only one point late in the third
when Bouman, under pressure,
threw an ill-advised pass right
to Johnson. The linebacker made
a juggling interception and ran
15 yards for
a touchdown
that put KC
on top 28-20
with 5:13 left
in the third.
The mis-
take was cost-
ly because the
Jaguars had
just pulled
to 21-20 on
B o u m a n s
11-yard touchdown pass to Mike
Sims-Walker.
Bouman, who was 18 for 34
for 222 yards and two TDs and
two interceptions, was picked off
again with less than 3 minutes
to go. Again under pressure deep
in Jacksonville territory, he threw
the ball to Eric Berry. The rookie
safety returned it 35 yards to the
12 and Jackie Battle scored three
plays later on a 1-yard run.
Cassel, after a slow start, was
13 of 18 for 193 yards and two
touchdowns, both to Bowe, who
had two TD grabs for the second
week in a row.
Thomas Jones had 125 yards
and one TD on 20 carries, includ-
ing a 70-yard run following a
Jacksonville turnover.
The Chiefs, the third least-
penalized team in the league com-
ing in, hurt themselves several
times. Berry drew a 37-yard pass
interference penalty that led to
Boumans TD pass to Sims-Walker
in the third quarter.
Then at the end of the half,
cornerback Brandon Carrs pass
interference penalty in the end
zone set up the Jaguars for first-
and-goal from the 1. But the
defense held and Jacksonville had
to settle for Josh Scobees 19-yard
field goal that made it 14-13 at
the half.
The Chiefs, the third least-
penalized team in the
league coming in, hurt
themselves several times.

Webb threw a fade route into the corner
of the north endzone on 3rd and 6, only
to be intercepted by Aggie cornerback
Dustin Harris who returned it 83 yards
to the Kansas 17-yard
line. Texas A&Mscored
three plays later, push-
ing its lead to 31-10.
The 14-point swing
killed any momentum
the offense would have
had, and coach Turner
Gill said Webbs injury
caused the bad throw.
He said he threw it
as well as he could, but just couldnt get it
there, Gill said.
Backup quarterback Kale Pick relieved
Webb on the following possession but was
unable to revive the offense, completing
seven of 12 passes for only 40 yards. Picks
night was also cut short when he suffered a
concussion to start the fourth quarter. The
brief playing time was the first meaning-
ful minutes for Pick since his start against
North Dakota State, where the offensive
woes players, coaches and fans have expe-
rienced all season began.
The start of Big 12 play sucked even
more life out of the offense, which has now
scored 24 points the last three games, plac-
ing the unit firmly in last in scoring in the
conference. Gill noted the lack of big plays
as the most frustrating part of these now
weekly offensive performances.
It wasnt an issue of effort. We just
didnt make enough plays, Gill said. We
needed to make a little more plays to keep
our defense off the field.
The time of possession was surpris-
ingly dead even at 30 minutes a piece. The
Aggies also overcame 130 yards worth of
penalties. Overcoming penalties with big
plays isnt something Kansas was able to do
Saturday night or all season.
Webbs production has dropped in the
last three weeks as well,
throwing five intercep-
tions with only two
touchdown passes.
Sophomore tight end
Tim Biere caught the
lone touchdown pass of
the night in the second
quarter to go along with
his 67 receiving yards.
He said his performance
was decent, but obvi-
ously wasnt enough to change to lopsided
score.
Biere sees hope in the future.
Obviously, we can only go up, Biere
said. Its been a tough three weeks, but
there are better days ahead.
With the uncertainty surrounding the
injuries to Webb and Pick, those better
days might be a little further off. Gill told
reporters after the game they would review
both injuries this week with the medical
staff before making any decisions.
Gill was hesitant to put third-string
quarterback Quinn Mechaminto the game
in the fourth quarter, opting for fresh-
man wide receiver D.J. Beshears instead.
Beshears tooksnaps fromshotgun and actu-
ally notched 26 yards rushing on five plays.
Only then did the staff throw Mecham a
junior college transfer who hadnt seen
time all season into
the fire. He threw an
incomplete pass before
getting sacked on a 4th
and 6.
If Webb or Pick
cant play next week,
the string of lackluster
offensive performances
could get even worse
when the team travels
to face Iowa State on
Saturday in Ames.

Game Balls
2. Sophomore kick returner D.J. Beshears: the sophomore
kick returner has done a little bit of everything this season even
taking snaps at quarterback late against texas A&M. He tallied 77
yards on kick returns as well as 64 yards rushing the ball.
1. Junior tight end Tim Biere: the ofenses only spark of the
night, bierre scored the only KU touchdown in the 2nd quarter of
the blowout loss. He caught four balls for 67 yards for the game,
more than tripling the next leading receiver in yards.
Delay of Games
3. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb: KU failed to do any-
thing on ofense for the third straight week, scoring only 10 points
against the Aggies. On multiple occasions, Webb missed open
receivers that ended up stalling drives. Webbs endzone intercep-
tion in the 2nd quarter was a potential 14 point swing, giving A&M
a 31-10 lead before halftime.
2. The defense: After scoring only 9 points against Missouri last
week, the Aggie ofense dominated the Jayhawk defense to the
tune of 521 total yards and 45 points. the defense has given up
159 points in the last 3 games.
1. Sophomore defensive end Toben Opurum: After switching
from running back to linebacker before the season, the coach-
ing staf made another change before kickof, starting Opurum at
defensive end to generate speed on the pass rush. the move was
unsuccessful, as the texas A&M ofensive linemen held Opurum in
check all night.
Turning Point
Losing 24-10 in the 2nd quarter, Jordan Webb marched the
ofense down the feld to the Aggie 7-yard line. On 3rd down he
threw an interception into the hands of Cornerback dustin Harris
who returned it 83 yards to the Kansas 17-yard line. KU went from
potentially being down 7 to being down 21 in a matter of four
plays.
Key Stat
Quarterbacks Jordan Webb and Kale Pick both left the game with
injuries. Webb injured his shoulder on a 6-yard run in the 2nd quarter,
while Pick sufered a concussion in the 4th. Neither player returned
and their status for next weeks game against Iowa State is uncertain.

KANSAS FOOTBALL REWIND
Jerry Wang/KANSAN
Sophomore quarterback Kale Pick lets loose a pass as he's tackled by Texas A&Mlinebacker Charlie Thomas. Pick completed 7-of-12 passes for 40 yards as the Jayhawks fell to the
Aggies 45-10 at Memorial Stadium.
for him to be fired. Jayhawk fans were
spoiled into thinking Kansas could be
more than a basketball school, and for a
few years it was. Now that football has
fallen back into the dark ages, people
remember the good times and want them
back.
However, it may be about that time
to honestly consider whether Gill is the
right man to lead Kansas out of this mess.
His players look confused on the field.
They show up late to the huddles. They
dont seem prepared and look like theyve
given up by the end of the game. And
these things refect coaching more than the
teams lack of talent.
In fairness, you could argue Gill
deserves a few years to prove himself with
his own players. But the fact remains that
the only guys Kansas could recruit after
winning the Orange Bowl are the guys you
see on the field now. So what makes you
think a coach that many fans already
resent can persuade high school kids to
come play football at the bottom of the Big
12 in a stadium of fed up people?
Kansas may need a miracle.

The Jayhawks had all the momentum.
They were about to use this homecoming
game to end a terrible start to the Big 12
season.
Texas A&M was about to punt early in
the second quarter. Kansas had scored on
the previous possession, only trailing 10-17.
The Jayhawks were supposed to get the ball
back, drive down the field and show they
werent the bottom-dwellers of the Big 12.
They proved otherwise.
Senior defensive end Jake Laptad was
called for a roughing the passer when the
Jayhawks forced an incomplete pass on third
and 15. He said he tried to get his hands up
to deflect the pass, but that ended up earn-
ing the costly penalty.
I ended up hitting him with my hands
up and they hit his helmet I guess, Laptad
said.
After the penalty, the Aggies drove down
the field and ended with a 27-yard touch-
down when quarterback Ryan Tannehill
found wide receiver Jeff Fuller wide open.
The momentum was shifted dramatically
with the Aggie lead 24-10.
But the Jayhawks responded and drove
the ball all the way to the Aggie seven-yard
line. Quarterback Jordan Webb looked a
little shaken up, but coach Turner Gill kept
him in anyway.
It was yet another costly mistake for
Kansas.
Gill said Webbs inju-
ry apparently affected
the goalline pass, as it
was underthrown and
intercepted. Texas A&M
scored on the ensuing
possession.
Theres plays out there
that if they just went our
way, it could have been a
different game, Laptad
said.
Instead of making it a 17-24 game, the
Jayhawks were now down 10-31, not the
ideal way to go into halftime. By this point,
the Aggies had the game in hand.
Senior running back Angus Quigley said
this recent losing trend has a lot of problems
that need addressing. On defense, the team
is missing tackles and not getting takeaways.
On offense, they are turning the ball over
and not putting the ball in the endzone.
That stuff kind of starts to snowball,
Quigley said. And if you look at the last few
games, thats whats killing us.
In the past three games, all against Big 12
opponents, the Jayhawks
have been outscored
159-24.
Gill said the team can
move the ball from the
30 to the 30, but punch-
ing the ball in for a
score has doomed the
Jayhawks pretty much all
season.
We shoot ourselves
in the foot, so-to-speak,
Gill said. I think thats
the biggest thing, is just trying to get in the
green zone/ red zone area and capitalize on
making the plays.

DENVER Snowball effect?
This was more of an avalanche.
The Oakland Raiders scored
touchdowns 8 seconds apart to
kick-start a rout of the Denver
Broncos that recalled so many of
the lopsided scores between these
former AFL teams in the 1960s.
Behind Darren McFaddens four
touchdowns, the Raiders scored the
most points in their 50-year history
Sunday with a 59-14 thrashing of
the demoralized Broncos.
The Raiders (3-4) won for the
third straight time at Invesco Field,
fueled by a 38-point outburst in the
first 22 minutes that staggered the
Broncos, who allowed 328 yards
rushing.
I expected this to be a street
fight, Raiders coach Tom Cable
said. It started like that and we
made sure it didnt go any further.
This one was decided in the
opening minutes.
You blinked and looked up and
it was out of hand, said Denver
defensive back Nate Jones.
The Broncos (2-5) had no
answers for backup quarterback
Jason Campbell, who started
despite a sore knee in place of
Bruce Gradkowski (sore shoulder),
or McFadden, who showed no ill
effects of a recent hamstring injury.
He scored on a pair of 4-yard runs
and a 19-yard reception in the first
half and on a 57-yard run in the
second.
Michael Bushs 1-yard TD run
with 27 seconds left in the third
quarter made it 59-14 and broke the
Raiders franchise scoring record of
52 points. The fifth TD rushing
tied a team record and their eight
TDs established another mark.
The Broncos, also born in 1960,
allowed this many points only
one other time, in the 1963 sea-
son opener, which they lost to the
Kansas City Chiefs 59-7.
Its total shock. Total shock,
Jabar Gaffney said. All week if you
would told me that wed come out
here and get beat
59-14, I mean, Id
have just laughed
at you.
The Raiders
were the only
ones smiling
Sunday.

this blowout
of the Broncos
could turn around the Raiders
season.
When you win a game, its like,
OK, we won, lets go onto the
next one. Now, this one, its like,
We won and we won convincingly.
Lets let this build into a momen-
tum swing for us, he said.
Only a smattering of die-hards
were left when the game was over.
Many of the fans who rushed the
exits early must have been wonder-
ing, Can the NFL also crack down
on beatdowns?
Two of the last three times the
Broncos lost at home to Oakland
by three or
more touch-
downs, there
was a coaching
change after
the season.

The Jayhawks completed a busy
weekend of tennis on Sunday, high-
lighted by a singles flight win by
sophomore Victoria Khanevskaya.
Kansas hosted a tournament this
weekend with a field including Big
12 opponents Oklahoma, Kansas
State and Colorado along with
Wichita State, Iowa and Indiana.
The Jayhawks also sent four
players to the ITA/USTA Central
Region Championships. Juniors
Ekatrina Morozova and Erin
Wilbert and sophomores Monica
Pezzotti and Sara Lazarevic made
the trip to Arkansas to try to take
on some of the regions best play-
ers.
In Lawrence on Friday, both
Kansas doubles teams playing won.
Khanevskaya won in both singles
and doubles, cruising in her singles
match against Kansas States Alina
Piotrowski 6-3, 6-0. The rest of the
singles matches did not fare as well
for the Jayhawks as they failed to
pick up any other wins on the day.
In Arkansas, Morozova and
Wilbert led the Jayhawks as they
won their doubles match 6-2 over
a team from St. Louis University
in the opening round of 64 teams.
The Kansas duo lost 8-5 in the
round of 32.
Wilbert lost her first singles
match, but bounced back to win
her next match in the qualifying
rounds. Pezzotti and Lazarevic
both lost their opening matches.
Saturday, Khanevskaya won
6-4, 6-3 against Indianas Diana
Kyllman, sending her to her third
straight finals appearance.
Khanevskaya rallied from a set
down to defeat Oklahomas Brittany
Parks 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 to win the sin-
gles flight Sunday morning.

Two touchdowns on INTs
help Browns shock Saints
NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS David
Bowens looks even older than he
is, with specks of gray in his hair
and beard.
So after the 33-year-old
Cleveland linebacker intercepted
Drew Brees twice Sunday and
returned both for touchdowns,
teammates celebrating their
stunning 30-17 victory over the
defending champion New Orleans
Saints joked at Bowens expense.
They say Im the oldest guy to
score two touchdowns since Larry
Csonka, Bowens said, alluding to
the Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame
fullback.
Age didnt seem to be a factor
during Bowens returns of 30 and
64 yards, the second of which
he punctuated by clumsily somer-
saulting into the end zone.
I cant dance, Bowens said,
explaining that his celebration was
a reprise of Reggie Bushs end
zone somersault in the NFC title
game in January 2007. I cant
do it as sweet as he does it. Im a
little heavier than he is and a little
older.
Bowens was not accustomed to
scoring touchdowns. In his previ-
ous 11 NFL seasons, he had only
one on a blocked punt.
You dont dream of games like
that, Bowens said. You dont ever
think anything is going to happen
like that. Its unbelievable.
Perhaps Bowens had a little
karma working for him in New
Orleans. Several years ago, he
helped raise $20,000 for victims of
Hurricane Katrina. Incidentally,
his career-best performance came
not only at Brees expense, but just
days after the quarterback had
welcomed a son named Bowen.
Brees, who was intercepted 11
times last season, has thrown 10
already. The only other time Brees
had four interceptions in a game
was when New Orleans lost to
Tennessee in September 2007.
Whenever you throw a pick,
youre going to be upset. ... Four
interceptions are hard to swal-
low, Brees said. I think we are
all doing a little soul searching.
We know how good we can be.
Obviously, we arent playing that
way right now.
Scott Fujita and Sheldon
Brown also had interceptions
for Cleveland. Fujita, a defensive
leader for the Saints last season
and a former fan favorite in the
Louisiana Superdome, snagged his
interception at the Cleveland 3 to
thwart a likely scoring drive. Fujita
also had one of three sacks on
Brees. He was constantly watching
the Saints sideline for substitu-
tions, then relayed the informa-
tion to his own sideline to help
with pre-snap adjustments.
Afterward, Cleveland coach
Eric Mangini gave Fujita a game
ball.
I tried to do my best early
this week in practice to prepare
our team for what we would face
today, as its no secret that I am
familiar with the Saints, Fujita
said. Its one thing to plan the Xs
and Os, but its another to come
out and execute it. The way we
did it was pretty impressive. ... I
didnt think wed shut them down
like that.
Rookie Colt McCoy passed for
only 74 yards but got his first win
as an NFL starter a desper-
ately needed one for the struggling
Browns (2-5). Peyton Hillis rushed
for a 4-yard score for Clevelands
only offensive touchdown.
The Saints (4-3) never led and
got no closer in the second half
than 20-10 on Brees 11-yard pass
to David Thomas early in the
fourth quarter.
The Saints outgained Cleveland
394-210, but the Browns made big
plays on defense and special teams
in building a 20-3 halftime lead
that had the crowd booing the
defending Super Bowl champions
as they went to the locker room.
First, Joshua Cribbs passed
across the field early on his punt
return to Eric Wright, who bolted
up the sideline for 62 yards to the
New Orleans 19. That set up Phil
Dawsons 23-yard kick.
Late in the half, punter Reggie
Hodges shocked the Saints by
darting through a huge hole up
the middle for 68 yards to the
Saints 9. It was the longest rush by
a punter since 1970.
Soon after, Dawson hit from
21 yards.
Hillis short scoring run was
set up by a pass interference call
against Malcolm Jenkins on a long
attempt to Cribbs.

The mens golf team travels to
Las Cruces, N.M., on Monday to
compete in the Herb Wimberly
Intercollegiate. This is the final
event on the fall schedule for the
Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks are coming off
of their best finish of the year,
placing second
in the Bill Ross
Intercollegiate
Oct. 18-19 in
Kansas City,
Mo. Senior
Nate Barbee
finished first
i ndi vi dual l y
in the tourna-
ment for his first win of the year.
His last win was in 2009 at the
Kansas Invitational. Barbee shot
213 total to win by one stroke,
and he shot at or under par for
all three rounds.
Sophomores Chris Gilbert and
Alex Gutesha
c o n t i n u e d
their solid
season, with
both of them
finishing the
t our na me nt
tied for 23rd
place. Gilbert
has played in
every event to
date this sea-
son, and Gutesha has played in
all but one.
As a whole it was a very posi-
tive week, coach Kit Grove said.
What we have been talking
about is not having two guys
shoot high numbers on the same
day. Five of the last six com-
petitive rounds we havent had
to count anything over 75. Thats
what we need
to start doing,
and on the
whole we have
been doing a
better job.
The Herb
Wi m b e r l y
Intercollegiate
is hosted
by New
Mexico State
University. In addition to Kansas
and New Mexico State, there
will be 13 other teams partici-
pating in the event, including
Washington State University,
Texas State, UNLV, Boise State,
Idaho, Illinois State, Nebraska,
Air Force, Utah, UTEP, Wichita
State, Weber State and Western
New Mexico.
Grove reiterates the same mes-
sage all season; the success of the
team depends on their consis-
tently avoiding having to take a
high number.
The tournament starts at 8
a.m. Monday with a shotgun
start. Thirty-six holes will be
played on Monday, followed by
18 more on Tuesday.
