Fight Song lyrics change with Big 12

mlowry@kansan.com Breaking up is hard to do, especially after 104 consecutive years. But thats what must happen now with Big 12 football. The lyrics to the KU Fight Song, Im A Jayhawk, have been officially changed to omit Nebraska and Colorado, both of whom left the Big 12 last summer. That doesnt sit well with Kansas fans, said Max Falkenstien, a retired radio sports announcer for Kansas. We have been rivals for over 100 years, and suddenly were not good enough for you anymore? The angry sentiment of Kansas fans and alumni led the Alumni Association to hold a lyric-writing contest to update the song. Im A Jayhawk was originally written in 1912 by George Dumpy Bowles, and was updated in 1958 to include the rivalry of the Big 8. Its one of the only college fight songs to reference rivals by name.

One submission just left a long, silent pause during the line husk some corn and listen to the Cornhuskers wail, said Kevin Corbett, KU Alumni Association president. I thought that was really creative. Eight judges evaluated the submissions and eventually chose Baylor graduate Matt Schoenfelds lyrics. It was announced during halftime at the Homecoming game on Oct. 23. We wanted to recognize the schools in the conference, Corbett said, and not pay any attention to the ones who left. Although Schoenfeld didnt attend KU, hes an avid KU fan and his wife Cynthia is a KU graduate. The new fight song replaced buffs with bears, cornhuskin boys with cyclone boys, and added aggies. The line husk some corn and listen to the Cornhuskers wail is now rope some horns and listen to the Red Raiders wail. The song is a tradition and we just want to keep it modern,

Corbett said. Hopefully, we wont have to change it again for quite some time. Falkenstien was a judge on the panel. He worked for the University for 60 years and covered more than 1,750 mens basketball games and 650 football games. His announcing career at Kansas began in 1946, and he witnessed first-hand the formation of the Big 8 and the Big 12. Kansas has such intense rivalries because in the old days, they played a fewer number of teams and played those teams every year, Falkenstien said. It will probably take a few decades before Kansas fans build up the animosity to Baylor and Texas Tech that they had towards Nebraska. Caitlin Wise, a senior and the director of the Homecoming Committee, was also a judge on the panel. I can see why everyone wanted it changed, Wise said. I worked at the Union last summer, and every time someone walked into the Big 12 room, the first question they

desTIn, Fla. Investigators knew a man accused of stealing $6,000 from a Florida Panhandle bank didnt stuff the cash in his wallet.

While investigators searched the bank, a witness found a wallet nearby. Investigators showed the Id photo to bank employees, who thought it might be the robber. deputies searched the mans house and say they found cash and a gun that appeared to be the one used by the robber.

As spring enrollment begins, students can be overwhelmed by the process of setting up advising appointments to build graduation plans. With the assistance of a new online tool available through enroll and Pay, however, students can simplify that process. The tool, which is called My

Online feature helps plan future classes

Planner, was launched this semester as an interactive way to map out future course schedules up to four years in advance. students now have the ability to access this information from the course catalog, making the selection of courses easier. They can then directly reference the courses in their personal planner during enrollment. The planner provides new information on how frequently a specific course is offered, said Mark Pickerel, systems administrator with student Information

systems. It gives students the freedom to find out what courses are likely to be available in future semesters, allowing them to plan accordingly. students, however, are still expected to review their plans with their advisors. While its a valuable preparation tool, we dont want it to replace advising appointments that ensure students are on the right track, Pickerel said. diann burright, University Advising center senior associate director, said the tool would benefit

the advising process and allow students to be better informed and prepared for meetings. When students utilize their resources and take ownership of their academic planning, the dialogue between them and their advisor is richer, deeper and more complete, burright said. My Planner can be found online on the enroll and Pay website. Additional features will be added in the future based on user feedback.

asked was, Why are those banners still hanging in here? People dont want Nebraska or Colorado associated with the conference at all anymore. Kansas and Nebraska had the nations longest continuous series in football, playing 116 times since 1892. It really is just too bad that the tradition had to end, Falkenstien said. I guess money just controls everything, and that was a factor here too. Corbett said the new fight song will reflect the competitive spirit of Jayhawk fans and represent the new Big 12 conference. Knowing KU fans, Im sure they will pick up on the new words pretty quick, Corbett said. The song will be officially taught to fans starting next football season on traditions night.

The Millennium Trilogy ends with Hornets Nest

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Lisbeth Salander, the centerpiece of the phenomenon known as The Millennium Trilogy or, in normalspeak, The Girl Who ... series, is a feral creature trying to survive in a hostile world thats invisible to most but very real, especially to her. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest makes it clear that the true mystery in the saga which began with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire is about who this fiercely independent young woman is, how she got that way and, most important, what will become of her. Based on three best-selling novels by the late Stieg Larsson, the movies surround Salander with a cats cradle of conspiracies, plot lines and characters, the most visible threads being murder, flashbacks to her abusive past and the presence of crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), her knight errant. As in the first two movies, mesmerizing Noomi Rapace plays the title character, an enigmatic young hacker who brings a darkness and intensity that define her as much as her tattoos and body piercings. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest begins where the last film ended, with Salander bloodied from bullet wounds and being whisked away by helicopter to a hospital. Director Daniel Alfredson mixes helpful flashbacks from the second movie, which he also helmed, with close-ups of her brain surgery, updates on her psychopathic halfbrother, and a confusion of secondary characters who want Salander institutionalized or dead. After rehab, Salander must stand trial for the attempted murder of her abusive father, whos in a room at the same hospital. Blomkvist continues to champion her innocence and with help from his Millennium magazine staff, plans to gather evidence and publish an expose timed to the opening of her trial. Its useful to remember that the Swedish name for the first book translates to Men Who Hate Women as misogyny remains a thread throughout. Salanders father beat her and her mother. Her psychiatrist, a major character in Hornets Nest, kept her strapped to a table when she was wrongly institutionalized as a child. Later, her court-appointed guardian brutalized and raped her. (Recorded in controversial graphic scenes in the first film, they are revisited in the last, so be forewarned.) Although Blomkvist uses people without regret, he is the exception. And while Salander mends physically and mentally, Blomkvist dredges up documents relating to Salanders past, interviews key figures and ignores threats to himself and his staff. Hornets Nest delivers patches of action, more than the first but nothing like the thrills in Played With Fire. Although following the story is, at times, like wading through an aquarium thick with murk, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest captivates because of Salander. Her presence dominates even when shes off-screen. Shes a tenacious survivor so we root for her. And we know enough about her past to understand her, to know her, if you will, despite her revealing so little other than through her eyes, her posture and movements; telling insights riveting Rapace brings out so well. Nyqvist also engages, again, as Salanders steadfast champion. The journalist acts as light to her dark, physical to her mental, verbal to her quiet. As in the other movies, the two arent on-screen together although they communicate via e-mail until the end, a device that contributes to the suspense.

some children call their childhood the wonder years. but butch Patrick says his childhood could be called The Munsters Years. Patrick, who played the pointy-earred eddie Munster on the classic Tv comedy The Munsters, says hes never forgotten how much fun he had working on the series. I had the best time in the

makeup chair, or hanging out in the area where they had all the special effects, said Patrick, 57, in a phone interview. Patrick has also been spending several hours in the last few days promoting the Hallmark channels The Munsters Marathon, a 10-hour cavalcade of episodes from the comedy that has become a staple of classic television, even though it ran for only two years, from 1964 to 1966. The marathon starts at 8 a.m. eDT sunday. Patrick said the shows popularity is indicative of its strong family values and off-beat humor.

Participation in election vital

T
omorrow is an important day in this country of ours. On Tuesday, millions of people will decide the outcome of hundreds of contests, from representatives and senators to library expansions and the legalization of marijuana. Though its often said, voting is an important act for citizens. It is the reassertion of power. It is the single best chance for people to help guide the direction of this country. When we elect someone into office, were sending a statement about what we value, what laws we would like to see, what our philosophical principles are and how we want government to operate. Nationally, this election has become in many cases about the size and scope of government. The national discussion over this issue has played everywhere in Congress during the health care debate to each afternoon on Glenn Beck. Some of the discussion on both sides has been substantial, but much of it has been trivial. In Kansas, voters can choose between Democrat Tom Holland and Republican Sam Brownback for governor. Races for

students have as big a stake in who our leaders are as anyone else in this country.

congressional representatives and state legislators give Kansas voters additional opportunities to decide what direction American policy should take. But the national questions are not the only issues to be decided on Tuesday; local decisions are being made, too. Voters will decide on a proposed expansion of the Lawrence Public Library through an $18 million bond.

Two amendments to the Kansas Constitution will also be voted on. One amendment would preserve constitutionally the right of a person to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, and for all other lawful purposes, including hunting and recreation according to an explanatory note on the ballot. The other amendment would, if passed, prevent the Kansas legislature from excluding mentally ill individuals from voting. These questions and more will be decided Tuesday. And students should be a part of those decisions. Congress and state legislatures are not exactly sexy topics, but the bills passed by these bodies can have lasting impact on our lives.

Students, and young people in general have as big a stake in who our leaders are as anyone else in this country. Students registered to vote should take the time needed to walk down to their polling place Tuesday, even if it means skipping a bit of class. The results may or may not be to your liking, but we can all agree that participation is vital to creating the government we need, if not always the government we want. So take two minutes to fill out a ballot that will help determine the next two years. Vote! Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board

Obama has shown courage

POLiTiCs

oor Obama. Hes becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of presidents. Conservatives are calling him a socialist. Tea-partiers are painting him a witch doctor. Moderates are disserting him. Democrats are telling him to shove it. And Jon Stewart is even questioning his temerity. He gets no respect, I tell ya. Flak is coming from all directions, but one thing goes without question: This presidency has been anything but timid. Obamacare took more than temerity. It took courage. ObamaDangerfield took the opportunity to get legislation passed that several presidents before him could not. His leadership extended health care to millions of Americans who couldnt afford what had been a privilege, like avoiding bankruptcy because of disease. This historic piece of legislation depleted a lot of the administrations political capital. We will see the fallout tomorrow. Yet I cant think of a more endearing trait for a leader: doing the right thing no matter how unpopular it might be. Obama-Dangerfield provided the leadership needed to save the economy from going into the ditch, an oft-used one-liner of his. The problems he faced demanded bold solutions, like passing a stimulus bill and bailing out Big Auto. Both were wildly unpopular but successful moves. Chrysler is now safely in the hands of Fiat. And in August, General Motors posted its second quarterly profit in a row, its best showing in three years. This month G.M. will repurchase $2.1 billion in preferred stock held by the government. After the buyback, G.M. will have repaid 20 percent of the money received from the

government. The auto company has secured a $5 billion revolving credit line and had $26.8 billion in cash reserves at the end of June, according the New York Times. Had the government let G.M. and Chrysler go, the economy would have lost three million jobs at a time when it was hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. Without the stimulus bill, the economy would be 2.5 million jobs lighter. The bill saved jobs in education, law enforcement and transportation, extended unemployment benefits that bolstered consumption and provided temporary tax relief to individuals and businesses, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Through government intervention, lead by Obama-Dangerfield, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, America dodged a depression, plain and simple. While these leaders paved the way to recoverya slow and painful recoverythe Republicans have been busy playing politics. They decried stimulus spending simply because it was a Democratic idea. The main objective for Politicians like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been and remains to derail ObamaDangerfields presidency, rather than fix the catastrophe his party created.

This kind of tunnel vision does not bode well for America. Fueled by the G.O.P.s faux-fiscal austerityembodied by the Pledge to America that will supposedly eliminate our crushing debt without cuts to military spendingthe ideological shift headed toward Washington is the exact opposite of what we need. It will breed the sort of policy that could possibly lead to a period of stagnation similar to the kind experienced by Japan during the 1990s that lead to the lost decade. Japanese economists and policy makers are watching us, wondering why we havent learned from their mistakes. We dont need to extend tax cuts to the rich, a top priority for Republicans. We need government spending because it hits the economy faster than taxcuts and compensates for the lack of consumption and investment. We most restore growth first and worry about deficits later. This means we need to spend more money now despite how unpopular it might be. This is why some pundits are calling Obama-Dangerfield timid. The government hasnt been bold enough to spur the growth we need. The economy needs more stimulus and more spending. This is not Obama-Dangerfields fault. The administration has been handicapped by political operatives more concerned with their own agenda than policy that will help America. The president has been thwarted by the tyranny of the minority. Our economic forecast may now get much worse before it gets better. Want a second opinion? Expect Gridlock, too. D.M.

The recent article, Oral contraceptives pricier than in past suggests that oral contraceptives should be subsidized by the federal government or otherwise made more readily available to college students. I would like to point out a few of the many reasons that oral contraceptives are extremely harmful to women, making them unworthy of support from any source. Firstly, oral contraceptives are not truly medicinal. While medication is intended to restore health, oral contraceptives cause a disease, namely, infertility. The artificial hormones supplied by the pill may also increase risks for breast cancer, blood clots and stroke. Further, birth control pills are often prescribed as a superficial remedy which mask the symptoms of underlying medical problems. Often, irregular cycles and pain are signs of reproductive health disorders such as ovarian cysts or endometreosis. More healthcare practitioners should be encouraging gynecological charting as a way to uncover the problems related to a womans health. For more information regarding natural

fertility education, see www. creightonmodel.com. Additionally, and most importantly, since lives are in the balance, oral contraceptives are abortifacients. There are several mechanisms of action, including the suppression of ovulation, alteration of mucus and the disruption of the endometrium growth cycle. When this last defense mechanism is required, the pill is not merely contraceptive; it can abort the newly conceived life by preventing implantation. Even if employed a very small fraction of the time, the sheer number of sexually active women on the pill ensures that tens of thousands of lives are lost to this form of silent abortion each year. Finally, oral contraceptives are not necessities. Why should taxpayer money contribute to something that simply makes it convenient for individuals to engage in voluntary behavior for which they are not willing to accept the consequences?

To commemorate the traditional Mexican holidaythe Watkins Community Museum of History is holding an exhibit displaying classic figures from the Dia de los Muertos. A tradition for Dia de los Muertos is for families to build a small altar for the dead and place their favorite foods, drinks, and pictures on display. The idea being that their spirits can travel back to consume some of the things on the altar, Keegan said. Along with the altar, families display depictions of daily activities and social events with skeleton figures to both acknowledge a continuation after death and to commemorate moments from their lives.

Sentence extended 8 years for former al-Qaida fighter

Omar Khadrs case comes to an end after public scrutiny, outcry
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba A former teenage al-Qaida fighter was sentenced Sunday to eight more years in custody under the terms of a plea agreement unsealed after a military sentencing jury said he should serve 40 years for war crimes. Omar Khadr looked straight ahead as a military judge imposed the eight-year sentence, ending a legal odyssey that began when the Canadian son of a major al-Qaida figure was captured at age 15 with severe wounds in Afghanistan in 2002 after a four-hour firefight. Khadr pleaded guilty Oct. 25 to five war crimes including murder for throwing a grenade that mortally wounded an American special forces medic, Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer. Military prosecutors said it was no routine battlefield killing because the Canadian was not a legitimate soldier, but an al-Qaida fighter. Speers widow, Tabitha, pumped her fist and cheered yes! when the jury announced its 40-year sentence. Then she burst into tears. Under terms of the plea deal, the U.S. agreed to send the now 24-year-old Khadr the last Western prisoner at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba back to his homeland after one more year in custody. He has been held at Guantanamo for eight years. The Toronto-born Khadr could have received up to life in prison if convicted at trial of even one of the charges against him. The Khadr case has been one of the most scrutinized at the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals, with critics saying that a battlefield death should not be treated as a homicide and that Khadr whose father was a confidante of Osama bin Laden was a child soldier pushed into militancy by his family. Prosecutors said he deserved no special protection and argued that his actions were war crimes because al-Qaida fighters are not legitimate soldiers who follow the internationally accepted principles of war. Khadr admitted planting 10 roadside bombs in Afghanistan and spying on U.S. convoys to study the best ways to attack them. Before announcing the verdict, the jurors had asked that a tape of McCarthys testimony be played again for them.

Johnson, Robinson show extra motivation

By Corey ThiBodeaux
he way sophomores Thomas Robinson and Elijah Johnson looked at the end of last season, you couldve sworn it was their last game as Jayhawks. Sitting side by side in the locker room after the loss against Northern Iowa, any question asked of them was returned with silence, their focus on the floor. We saw glimpses of the talent that resides in these two blooming youngsters last year. In all likelihood, we will see a huge jump from them this year, fueled by missing out on a national title last year. Johnson still hasnt forgotten. We get another chance, he said. The two sophomores could be as flashy as any player on last years team, but they could make a lot of mistakes too. For Johnson, who started two games last season, his ball handling and speed was a strength, but he struggled to control the ball and often turned it over. Robinsons massive yet athletic frame got him in foul trouble when he fell for blocks or tried too hard to score. They have their problems, but no one can question their work ethic. I want no doubts that when Im out there, Robinson said. Ill be the hardest working player on the floor. Robinson is a beast. As coach Bill Self has always said, he has a great motor. He just needs a chance to stay on the floor by playing smarter on defense and patient offense. Thats why he worked with the veteran big men and coaches this year to get that under control. I think hes grown-up, Self said. I think Thomas was one of the kids that wanted to come in and really do good right when he got here. T-Rob, as his teammates call him, has probably the highest ceiling on the team. The biggest jump players make is the freshman to sophomore year, so this year may show if Robinson has NBA talent in him. Where I am right now isnt where I want to finish at, Robinson said. Johnson, on the other hand, wont overwhelm you from first glance. But he spent the summer working off the frustration from the Norther Iowa loss. . He went home to Las Vegas and worked out twice, maybe three times a day just because there was nothing else to do. I did stuff when I didnt want to, Johnson said. Late nights, putting up shots when I was most tired. Everyone is looking at Josh Selby and the Morris twins to determine how the Jayhawks will fare in 2010-11. Well, Selby wasnt here last year to share in the agonizing defeat and all eyes have been on the Morris twins since the team began preparing for this season. As far as talent goes, the jump last years true freshmen make this year will do a lot more than improve the Jayhawk bench. The pain of loss these guys have already felt could be the difference-makers come March. Edited by Joel Petterson

Cyclones uproot the Jayhawks

By Kory CarPeNTer
kcarpenter@kansan.com The Kansas football team didnt want to miss out on Halloween festivities in Ames on Saturday. It decided to dress up like a good football team. For the first half, anyway. On Iowa States first play from scrimmage, Lubbock Smith forced a fumble of Darius Reynolds, and Kansas capitalized with a field goal to take an early lead, the teams first since beating New Mexico State on Sept. 25. The Jayhawks added another field goal due in part to converting one of their two successful fourth down plays before half to go up six. After converting both fourth down attempts, Kansas coach Turner Gill decided not to press his luck in the waning seconds of the opening half. On first down from the Cyclones 21-yard line with around 25 seconds left, Gill decided to run the clock down to three seconds before calling his final timeout and sending in kicker Jacob Branstetter for his third field goal of the day. The kick gave the Jayhawks a 9-7 halftime lead. The conservative play-calling could have been foreshadowing by the offensive staff. Quinn Mechams debut (on the road no less) almost certainly influenced first half playcalling, where Kansas ran the football 27 times, almost doubling Mechams 14 pass attempts. With the defense holding the Cyclones scoreless, the run-happy offensive philosophy was working for the Jayhawks, something Gill thought his team could do. We thought we would be able to [run the ball], Gill said. I thought we had some pretty good success but we just needed to make a few more plays. While the defense kept Kansas close, Angus Quigley and James Sims were able to chew up yards and the clock, gaining a combined 99 yards in the first half to go with KUs 21 minutes of possession. That defensive headlock only lasted until halftime, however. Iowa State received the second half s opening kickoff and went on a tear, not letting up until the Jayhawks were in a position theyve known all too well this season: down double digits in the second half. That third quarter was huge, defensive end Jake Laptad said after the 28-16 loss. Going in ahead at the half was huge, but we just didnt come out to play after that. After scoring on back-to-back drives in the third quarter, Kansas found themselves down 21-9. The running game had to be scrapped in favor of Mechams right arm. The end-of-half decision to run out the clock suddenly made sense. On first and ten from his own 46-yard line, Mecham was picked off by Jake Knott, who returned it to the line of scrimmage. Three plays later, hopes for a Kansas comeback a la 2008 in Ames were dashed as Cyclone running back Shontrelle Johnson scampered 33 yards into the KU end zone. The 12-point loss was a far cry from the last three Kansas games,

today is what great players do: she made it look really easy. This season, Davis is one of three captains, along with fellow sophomores Monica Engelman and Angel Goodrich.

Tidbits for fantasy footballers

I
ts the middle of the fall and Ive come down with a horrible case of fantasy mid-season blues. I am not undefeated in any of my leagues, and some of my genius picks, Jay Cutler and Marques Colston, have fallen a little short. My players are dropping like flies. I have Addai in two of my leagues, Alex Smith in one, and Ive already had Mark Clayton get put on injury reserve. With my bad luck and the pile of midterms and papers Ive gotten in the past few weeks, fantasy football has started to fall by the wayside. I feel like my discontent is shared by millions of fantasy owners around the globe. However, there are a few things that you can do to keep yourself in the game. Start looking for players that have been out a while on injury. I picked up Matthew Stafford a few weeks ago and Im glad I did, because one of my quarterbacks, Alex Smith, is injured, and the other, Jay Cutler, has a bye week. Starting with Alex Smiths backup and Matthew Stafford may not be the perfect scenario, but hopefully they can get me a few points. Another player to think about is Reggie Bush. He should be returning in the next few games. He probably wont be back this week Pittsburghs run defense is not sanderson@kansan.com exactly a warm welcome but hell return soon. Pierre Thomas is still out, so he will probably see increased touches when hes back on the field. Make a schedule. All throughout life youve had authority figures telling you to schedule your time to do your homework at x time every night and spend x minutes practicing an instrument or sport. Well, give yourself a weekly schedule. I always look on Tuesdays for any pickups I could make that I might have missed on Sunday. Thursdays I check my lineup and I make a few last-minute tweaks Saturday afternoon. Its not to say that my schedule system is foolproof. Once, I completely forgot about one of my teams and left half the roster empty. Needless to say, I lost.

Jayhawks take seventh place in Big 12

The KU teams traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to compete in the championship during Halloween weekend
By Lauren newman
lnewman@kansan.com On Saturday the cross country team traveled to the Big 12 Championship in Stillwater, Okla. Both teams took seventh place overall. Junior Rebeka Stowe led the way for the womens team, while junior Donny Wasinger was the best Kansas runner for the mens team. Wasinger crossed the finish line first for the Jayhawks for the 5th consecutive meet. He placed 13th overall, and finished with an 8K time of 24 minutes 40.04 seconds. Right behind him was senior Nick Caprario who had a career-best time of 25:17:02 and took 28th place.

Succops second OT kick lifts Chiefs Stafford leads comeback in Lions last-minute win

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Rian Lindell had a second chance he did not want and missed. Ryan Succop had the second chance he was yearning for and made it count. As a result, the Kansas City Chiefs escaped with a 13-10 victory over the winless Buffalo Bills as time expired in overtime. Succop, after missing from 39 yards in overtime, made good on a 35-yarder Sunday as the final seconds ticked away, giving the Chiefs (5-2) a victory that kept them comfortably atop the AFC West and made sure the Bills (0-7) would remain the leagues only winless team. Buffalos Lindell hit what would have been a 53-yard game-winner earlier in the overtime, but the kick was nullified because the Chiefs had called their last time 3:38 to go in the overtime but at out. Forced to do it again, Lindell the last instant, the ball hooked kicked a wobbler that hit the right left. The Chiefs, facing the NFLs upright.

Jayhawks put end to losing streak on senior day

BY JACKSON DELAY
jdelay@kansan.com The Jayhawks put an end to their six game losing streak on Friday by defeating SIU Edwardsville 3-0 on senior day. Seniors Kaitlyn Cunningham, Erin Ellefson, Lauren Jackson, Erin Lewis, Geneva Magness, Rachel Morris, Caitlin Noble and Katie Williams all donned a Kansas jersey for the last time in their careers. Junior forward Kortney Clifton said the team was playing with extra motivation. I think everyone was really inspired, just to know that this was (the seniors) last game, and everyone was just playing for them, Clifton said. It was really fun to come together on that. Clifton notched the first and last goal for the Jayhawks, making it the second multi-score game she has had this season. This also marks the third time in the last four years that a non-senior has had a multi-goal game on senior day. In the first half Clifton received a pass in the middle of the box from freshman Caroline Kastor and was able to dribble it past the goalie to score. Just a few minutes later sophomore Whitney Berry took a Lauren Jackson free kick and made the most of it, putting the Jayhawks up 2-0. That score stood until the second half when Clifton broke past the SIU defense again and scored an unassisted goal in the 53rd minute. It is always nice to get a goal, but to get two goals in one game is always nice, Clifton said. Especially for the last game, to get some in for the seniors. With those two goals, Clifton ended up leading the team in scoring at seasons end, with four goals. Shes dangerous, coach Mark Francis said. She goes at people one v. one and causes problems. She finished her chances well today. Kansas stifling defense only allowed SIU to record five shots the whole game. The Jayhawks recorded 18 shots, half of them being on goal. After the game the seniors, joined by their families, were each recognized individually. It was nice for the seniors especially, Francis said. It was good for them that we could finish with a win. Senior defender Lauren Jackson has been at Kansas all four years and has started since she was a sophomore. She has been through the good the 2008 NCAA Tournament run and the bad this years 6-13 finish. Jackson says this year has been unique. This is probably bad to say, but I think it means a little more, Jackson said, because it is our last season. Jackson is from Long Beach, Calif., but after four years Kansas is now special to her. Kansas is a home when Im away from home, Jackson said. Ive created my own family here, so its home for me. Clifton said that the seniors would be missed next year. Each one of them has their own personality and they are all just so fun and outgoing, Clifton said. Im going to miss them all. The Jayhawks didnt qualify for

Berrys goal during the first half helped lead the Jayhawks to a 3-0 victory. the eight-team Big 12 tournament this year for only the second time in Francis 12 years here. Francis said scoring will be a point of emphasis in the offseason. We created chances, but scoring goals was definitely an issue for us, Francis said. We have to get the attacking players to be confident about finishing; Get them back to a scoring mentality. Kansas finished last in the Big 12 with a 1-9 record. It has been a rough year, Jackson said, so it was nice to go out on a good note,. Edited by Anna Nordling

In the second game of the series the Crimson took a 5-2 lead into the top of the ninth inning before the blue team came back and tied it up. The blue team then went on to win in the 10th inning 6-5. Junior Colton Murray picked up the win, pitching scoreless innings in the ninth and the tenth. Murray allowed no hits, no runs while walking one and striking out three. In the finale on Sunday, junior third baseman Jake Marasco hit a rbI double with two outs to drive in the winning run. I was just looking for something up in the zone, and in the previous at bat Conner had primarily used sliders to get me out, so I was really looking for that pitch. He just left one over the plate, Marasco said of relief pitcher Conner Murray. Freshmen Alex Cox started for the blue team, allowing two runs on five hits while walking one and striking out four to earn the win on Sunday. Kansass spring season starts on Feb. 18th at TCU.

Jayhawks end fall practice season

The blue team completed the sweep of the Crimson team on Sunday to win the Crimson and blue World Series hosted by the baseball team. It concluded the fall practice season for the Jayhawks.

The baseball team was split up into two squads, the Crimson team, captained by senior outfielder Casey Lytle, competed against the blue team, captained by senior outfielder Jimmy Waters. In the first game of the series, blue team junior first basemen Zac elgie hit the go-ahead tworun homer in the top of the sixth inning. Crimson jumped out to an

early two run lead in the bottom of the first before junior pitcher T.J. Walz settled down and earned the win, shutting down the Crimson team in his last five innings of work as blue won 6-2. I just sat back and saw pitch that stayed up a curveball that stayed up in the zone and put a pretty good swing on it, elgie said in a release.

This is the fourth straight year the NFL has played a regular-season game in London. And with another packed Wembley assured in the buildup, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was still talking about more games in Britain and possibly a franchise based in London in the future. The fans were struggling for something to cheer for in the first half, with the exception of the lone scoring drive from the Niners. San Francisco took the ball 65 yards on 13 plays and led 3-0 when Joe Nedney kicked a 34-yard field goal with 27 seconds to go in the first quarter. The Broncos took the lead on Tebows run, then went ahead 10-3 early in the fourth quarter when Prater made a 32-yard field goal. The Broncos twice had touchdown plays called back. The second would have put them in position to try to tie the game with a 2-point conversion, but an illegal block nullified Eddie Royals 78-yard punt return.

Quinn Mecham: 22-33 passing with an interception, Mecham managed the game well but threw a costly interception in the third quarter, ending any hopes of a Kansas comeback. His only touchdown to Sims in the fourth quarter was well after the game was decided. "C +". Pass rush: The Jayhawk defensive line improved for the second straight week. Jake Laptad and richard Johnson each had a sack, and there was decent pressure on Cyclone quarterback Austin Arnaud for the better part of the game. Toben Opurum is improving at defensive end, but its still a work in progress for the former running back/linebacker. Overall, "b +". Coaching: Turner Gills conservative, run-heavy attack kept the Cyclone defense off the field and gave the Jayhawks a 9-7 halftime lead. Quinn Mecham said the game plan gave him confidence in his debut. The coaches did a great job preparing us all week and we were pretty confident all week. I give the coaches an "A".

Powerhouse Miami Heat defeats NJ Nets, 101-78

The devastating trio, Wade, James and Bosh, pick up a three-game winning streak for the Heat after a win over the New Jersey Nets
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. Dwyane Wade studied the sheet of paper in front of him, wondering if there was a mistake. Is this first-half stats? Wade asked. Nine shots? Thats the whole game, LeBron James answered. Wade doesnt need to shoot much anymore, not since James and Chris Bosh joined him to form a potential powerhouse in Miami. James scored 20 points, Bosh and Wade were close behind, and the Heat ended the New Jersey Nets unbeaten start with a 101-78 victory Sunday. Bosh finished with 18 points and Wade added 17, both getting most of them in Miamis dominant first half before sitting out the fourth quarter. James played a little of the final period and added seven rebounds and seven assists. The balance is what we are here together for, Wade said, to have gled in two of Miamis first three an opportunity to make the game games. When I watch other games and easy on everyone and were doing it.

But those are lottery teams. Miami is a championship contender. The Heat were coming off their first big victory, overpowering rival Orlando 96-70 on Friday night in their home opener. Coach Erik Spoelstra said before Sundays early start he hoped there would be no hangover. Nothing to worry about. Even with James picking up a pair of early fouls, the Heat made 10 of 14 shots (71 percent) in the first quarter, building a double-digit lead less than halfway through the period en route to a 29-18 cushion after one. Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who followed James from Cleveland to Miami, started the second quarter with a flurry, and the lead was up to 18 after a dunk by James. The Nets couldnt do much to cut into it and the Heat led 58-42 at halftime. I told my team during the course of the year that there will be two or three or four games where youre not very good, and this was one of them, Nets coach Avery Johnson said. We werent good from the start. We were stuck in the mud, we were stuck in second gear. James made his first visit to a team he met with during free agency. He admitted Sunday he would change some things about the process if he had the chance he didnt specify what they were but reiterated hes comfortable he made the right decision. The Nets were the first team to sit down with James and believed the new direction they promised under Prokhorov gave them a chance. James praised the organization before the game but fans apparently havent forgiven, booing the former crowd favorite during introductions and the first few times he touched the ball though there were loud cheers when he threw down a couple of powerful dunks. James said he considered that the NBAs great new show could have been based in New Jersey. On the way to the game, I even mentioned it to Chris, just saying This is a point where we could have ended up at, James said. But at the end of the day, were the Miami Heat team, were the Miami Heat franchise and we have a goal. Carlos Arroyo had 12 points for the Heat, who broke 100 points for the first time and finished at 54 percent from the field. Eddie House finished with 11 and fellow reserve Ilgauskas scored 10. When they get everyone involved like that they are obviously a tough team to beat. They got it going against us tonight, Nets forward Joe Smith said. Defensively, they do a great job of clogging the paint and making you take tough shots from the perimeter. You just have to find a way to get the easy looks and tonight we just didnt do that."

halftime because he was getting his foot re-taped. Rivers had his fifth 300-yard game of the season, completing 27 of 36 for 305 yards, with two TDs and one interception. He also threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Darren Sproles with 6:51 left. The Chargers botched the point after, which would have given them a nine-point lead. Youngs 71-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Nate Washington pulled the Titans to 27-25 with 11:43 left. The conversion pass to Johnson failed. The win may have saved the season for the Chargers, whod been off to their worst start in four seasons under coach Norv Turner. The Chargers trailed 19-7 late in the second quarter before getting three straight scores. Mathews scored on a 7-yard run 1:55 before halftime and Kris Brown kicked a 34-yard field goal midway through the third quarter to bring the Chargers within two. Gates TD catch gave San Diego its first lead since the first quarter. Brown kicked a 36-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 27-19 lead. On the Titans first play from scrimmage, Young hit Washington for the long touchdown. The Titans took their 19-7 lead on a 29-yard TD run by Johnson with 4:43 left in the second quarter. He started right and then cut back to his left, avoided two tackles and then picked up a key block from Young, who took out cornerback Antoine Cason at about the 15 to clear the way to the end zone. Young then slung Johnson over his shoulder and carried him toward the bench. Another Chargers special teams blunder led to a 2-0 Titans lead less than two minutes into the game. Nick Schommer blocked Mike Scifres punt, with the ball bouncing out of the end zone and into the stands for a safety. Rivers led the Chargers on an 83-yard, 15-play drive capped on a 1-yard run by fullback Mike Tolbert for a 7-2 lead. The Titans got Rob Bironas 21-yard field goal and a 1-yard TD pass from Young to tight end Craig Stevens on consecutive drives to take a 12-7 lead.

LOS ANGELES Jason Kidd ended the first half with a 65-foot shot-put heave from inside the 3-point arc at the opposite end, Caron Butler scored 17 points and Shawn Marion had 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 99-83 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Dirk Nowitzki added 16 points and seven rebounds for the defending Southwest Division champions in their first road game of the season. Kidd finished with 13 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Rookie Blake Griffin had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Clippers, who missed 14 of their first 16 shots and finished at 34 percent while falling to 0-3 on the season under new coach Vinny Del Negro. None of the starters reached double digits until Griffin converted a slam dunk with 5:32 left in the third quarter.

Griffin missed nine of his first 11 shots and also was hit with his first technical foul in his third NBA game from referee Mark Lindsay after teammate Ryan Gomes was called for his fifth foul with 3:06 to play. Baron Davis came up empty on his first five attempts before connecting on a 20-footer that trimmed Dallas lead to eight at 66-58 with 5:58 left in the third. Rasual Butler, the Clippers 3-point specialist, was 0 for 5 from behind the arc and played 21 scoreless minutes. The Mavericks, who squandered an 11-point lead in the first half before taking a 49-47 halftime lead on Kidds miracle shot, pulled ahead 63-52 with a 10-1 spurt capped by Tyson Chandlers slam dunk off an alley-oop feed from Kidd with 7:23 left in the third period. Dallas built the margin to 16 on Jose Bareas 3-pointer with 8 minutes remaining, and the Clippers got no closer than 11 points after that.

Jayhawks end losing streak

icummings@kansan.com Outstanding performances by senior outside hitters Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser helped the Jayhawks snap a fourmatch losing streak with a sweep over the Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday. Garlington and Kaiser each scored 16 kills, with only one attack error between them. The last time the teams met, Texas Tech (3-19, 1-12 Big 12) defeated Kansas (14-10, 5-8 Big 12) in a five-setter in Lubbock, Texas. Kaiser said that loss motivated the team to play well Saturday. The last time we played them, we felt like we didnt play up to our potential, Kaiser said. Saturday, Kansas won the first set 25-13, scoring 20 kills with an efficiency of .655 and topping Texas Techs sideout percentage by 42 percent. Kansas is 13-2 when winning the first set and 0-8 when losing it. Coach Ray Bechard said the first set was a key for the Jayhawks. It was crucial to get off to a good start in game one, Bechard said. To hit .655 is a good way to get it started. The Red Raiders pushed back in the second set, led by junior Amanda Dowdy who scored 7 kills in the first two sets with an efficiency of .304. Dowdys 3.99 kills per set average is the fourthbest in the conference. Kansas held a narrow lead through most of the set until Texas Tech jumped ahead at 21-22. Kaiser scored three points in rapid succession to keep the game within one point until a shot by Garlington bounced off of the fingers of a Texas Tech player and up to the ceiling to end the match 28-26. Garlington and Kaiser finished the second set with 11 and 12 kills, respectively, and no attack errors. Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield contributed nine kills and redshirt freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc chipped in four kills with a .429 hitting efficiency.

Junior middle blocker Allison Mayfield and sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree jump to block a Texas Tech kill on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. The Jayhawks won 3-0, bringing their season record to 14-10. Texas Tech made five blocks in the first two sets, but Kaiser said junior setter Nicole Tate helped the Jayhawks take advantage of a weakness in that defense. We noticed on their film that they left a little hole in the block, Kaiser said. We connected well with Tate tonight, and the middles didnt close the block, so thats why. The third set was close early on, but Kansas gained the upper hand behind its continued offensive success and blocking by Kaiser, Garlington and Jarmoc. Dowdy led Texas Tech with 13 kills, a solo block and three block assists. Texas Tech freshman Sheridan Burgess and sophomore Miara Cave followed with eight kills apiece. After trailing for most of the set, Texas Tech took a narrow lead at 10-12, only to see Jarmoc and sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree tie the score with back-to-back kills. Jarmoc and Kaiser followed that with back-toback blocks to give the Jayhawks the lead again, which they kept to the end of the match, winning 25-17. The Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Lawrence on Wednesday for a rematch with Kansas. In their previous meeting, the Jayhawks dropped a four-setter to the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. Jarmoc said the match would be a good opportunity for Kansas. I think if everybody is at the top of their game, we have a really good chance to beat them, she said. Edited by Abby Davenport

FOXBOrOUGH, Mass. Tom Brady outscrambled Brett Favre, then kept the ball away from Tarvaris Jackson when Favre was knocked out of the game, and the New england Patriots held on to beat the Minnesota vikings Favre 28-18 on sunday. Brady scrambled free to find Brandon Tate breaking free behind the defense for a 65yard touchdown to give the Patriots the lead in the third quarter. BenJarvus Green-ellis first touchdown, a 13-yard run, made it 21-10. Favre drove Minnesota to the New england 3 yard-line before he was flattened by defensive lineman Myron Pryor. Jackson relieved him and threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Naufahu Tahi on the first play, then hit Percy Harvin for the 2-point conversion that made it 21-18. But Brady engineered a 13-play, 80-yard drive, with Green-ellis getting cartwheeled into the end zone to make it 28-18 with just 1:56 left in the game.
