The Jayhawkss also play at No. 2 Te Jayhawk Texas xas on Nov. 12. Going into Saturday, a bowl berth seemed unlikely. Kansas had lost four straight and was getting little production from its offense, despite featuring one of the top defenses in the nation.

U.S. Senator Joseph Biden, D-Del., said that the United States had alienated itself from the rest of the world, leaving the nation less secure. “Some of our leaders have forgotten about the power of our example,” Biden said. Biden, a possible Democratic candidate for the 2008 presidential election, proposed his plans for policy changes to an audience of about 75 people Friday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Biden spoke as part of the Dole Institute’s Contenders Series, which is intended to give possible candidates for the 2008 presidential election a forum to discuss issues. The KU Young D emoc rats co-s pons ored the event . Biden said there were four main aspects of the Bush administration’s international policy that he would like to ch ange. He said he would rebuild international alliances, implement a more preventative strategy against possible threats, reconsider when and if military force was appropriate, and alter the government’s nation-building strategy. Biden said the United States hen it comes must rebuild alliances with other to wars of choice, I nations.

be addressed by the military and need an international approach, Biden said. “None of these have respect for borders,” Biden said. He said inaction and using military force shouldn’t be America’s only options. Biden said acting alone and with force left the United States with all the blame in situations such as the Iraq war. “When it comes to wars of choice, I think there have to be cooler heads that say ‘think twice,’” he said. Biden said international cooperation could help reduce the need for force. Examples of preventative strategies would be finding and destroying weapons of mass destruction, surprise on-site inspections and allowing the seizure of suspicious cargo at sea. Biden said he also wanted to improve America’s Am erica’s approach to nation-building. The current administration had been confronted with two nation-building projects: Iraq and Afghanistan. “We have failed thus far at both,” he said. Biden has been active in the Senate for 33 years and may seek the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination if he thinks that he can appeal to a majority of Democrats and raise enough money to campaign. — Edited by Katie Lohrenz Lohrenz

Nov. 4, 1997 Dan Rockhill, architecture and urban design professor, headed a group of architects in the building of a unique home in the 1600 block of Hillcrest Road. The home, commissioned by Mark Epard and Kathy Porsch, was built of limestone and zinc and had a slate roof. Rockhill said that native Kansas ingredients were his inspiration. The house also featured a library shaped like a telescope and a tower, which took three years to complete. Rockhill and his team had previously designed nearly a dozen other buildings in the Lawrence area.

Gay rights, teen abortion, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s prestige. These and other volatile topics are adding spice to off-year elections in three states where voters will be considering statewide ballot measures on Nov. 8. As is often the case, California has the most intriguing mix of propositions _ including four backed by Schwarzenegger, the Republican governor, to curb the power of the Democratic-controlled Legislature and the state’s public employee unions. Another measure, notable in a state with liberal leanings, would require parents to be notified when a minor seeks an abortion. Schwarzenegger is backing proposals — all trailing in the polls — that would cap state spending and give the governor greater authority
to make budget cuts; make teachers work five years instead of two to pass probation; strip lawmakers of their power to carry out redistricting, and require public employee unions to get members’ permission before dues could be used for political purposes. Schwarzenegger also supports the abortion measure, which would require doctors to give parents or guardians written notice 48 hours before performing an abortion on a minor. Adults would not have to consent, but sponsors hope the requirement would reduce California’s teen abortion rate — the nation’s fourthhighest — by involving parents in the

going to make a statement and I think they did.” Mangino said his team’s attitude was one that would never be divided. “We have all, players and coaches, have all in vested so much to it,” Mangin o said. “The kids always stick together. That is something that has been important. Instead of finger pointing, the kids try to help each other.” After Kansas’ 19-3 loss to Oklahoma, however, senior linebacker Nick Reid said he felt like getting in a fist fight with the team’s offense because of its lack of production. Mangino said players on both sides of the ball helped each other in practice this week. “We were doing some passrush drills last week and the defensive lineman were talking to the offensive lineman,” Mangino said. “That is what we are all about. We have a great deal of pride here at KU.” The Kansas offensive line took that advice to heart. The line opened big holes for the Kansas running backs and helped the team accumulate 208 yards on the ground. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson was in high spirits after knocking off Missouri. “We don’t think our season is over by a long shot,” Swanson said. “We are just trying to stay positive and go out there and get us two more wins and get us bowl eligible.” Saturday’s victory against Missouri has given Kansas new life, and the once seemingly impossible is again possible. “We deserved to win today’s game,” Mangino said. “It will be a good springboard for us for the rest of the season.” Kansas will next face a Nebraska team that lost to Missouri 4124, two weeks ago. “This win gives us momentum,” junior wide receiver Charles Gordon said. “Missouri beat Nebraska and we think we can do the same.

Under cross examination, Ary identified many items prosecutors contend were stolen as actually being part of the original collection he brought to the Hutchinson museum. He said obtained his collection entirely through trade or gifts. “It is hard to have documentation when you didn’t buy anything,” he said.
Ary also testified that he often used some of his own artifacts to barter for items for the Cosmosphere. He cited as an example obtaining 10 Apollo hand controllers, to use on simulators at the museum’s space camp, by trading a small rocket engine that was part of his collection. Ary testified that he began collecting space artifacts while
working at the Noble Planetarium in Fort Worth, Texas. Photos of him using many of those artifacts while working there were introduced into evidence. When NASA was disbanding the Apollo program that took men to the moon, Ary said he thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime once-in-a-lifet ime chance for a museum to obtain a large collection in a short time.

A police officer crossed the street and grabbed the middle of the post, he said. Those carrying the post continued toward Massachusetts Street and the officer warned them that he would spray them with pepper spray if they failed to drop the post, Bizjack, Chris Kavanaugh, Wichita sophomore, and Julian Grass, Mattoon, Ill., junior, said. Between 30 seconds and two minutes later, the officer sprayed five to 10 people, they said. Ralph Oliver, chief of the KU Public Safety Office, said he had not seen the written report, but he had been told that a number of people were carrying a goal post and an officer with the KU Public Safety Office used pepper spray, he said. He was told the officer felt like he was being “charged.” Oliver said he assumed that meant someone might have rushed at the officer. An investigation will be conducted to determine whether the officer properly used the pepper spray, Oliver said. Pepper spray is considered force and must meet protocol for the use of force, he said. Kavanaugh said he was one of the people hit by the cloud of pepper spray while carrying the post. His eyes hurt for 20 minutes, he said. While the office gave the group fair warning, Kavanaugh said, he thought the officer should have avoided using pepper spray. “I think it was inappropriate to spray,” Kavanaugh said. “We were just showing school spirit by taking the posts to Mass. Street where we all hang out.” Grass also helped carry a post from Potter Lake. Police followed both groups from Potter Lake, and at one point an officer tackled a person carrying an orange pylon, he said.

WICHITA — A former space museum president testified Friday at his theft trial that student volunteers mistakenly counted his personal collection of space items as part of a museum’s inventory. inventory. Max Ary, who co-founded the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center and led it for more than 26 years, is charged with 19 federal counts, including fraud, theft and money laundering. He is accused of stealing and selling items that belonged to the Hutchinson space museum. “At no time while employed at the Cosmosphere did I ever intend to cheat or do anything improper for the Cosmosphere,” Ary told jurors. Ary recounted how in the late 1970s, when the Cosmosphere’s collection was being assembled, he would often take students with him to pick up space hardware NASA no longer wanted. He said the teenage volunteers also inventoried Ary’s own artifacts — items used to start the museum’s collection.

messages that bombard you, as a consumer, in your daily life. They may simply seem like great catch phrases, but the repetitive nature of advertisements has a lasting effect. Advertisements are a great way to sell a product, but they also serve as a means to implant an impractical ideal into a nation’s psyche. The American Psychological Association conducted a study in 2000 on the effects of advertising on children. “Children under the age of eight are unable to critically comprehend televised advertising messages and are prone to accept advertiser messages as truthful, accurate and unbiased,” according to the research. This same source stated that advertisers spent more than $12 million in campaigns targeted toward the youth. This is abuse of developing young minds and is detrimental to society’s perception of human worth.

While Fall Break was just a refreshing vacation from school for most you, I left my visit to Chicago with more questions than answers. I had justgoing turned 21 an and knew it was to be un-I forgettable break, but I never expected to end up outside of a bar at 4 a.m., crying with my best friend, wondering if life had passed me by. My friends from back home and I had not seen each other in a while, because we were all in different places, doing our own things, but it was good to see them all there that night. We had about 40 to 50 people in our group. I was one of the few single guys there. So, looking around, seeing all my friends with their girlfriends, some even with kids now, I got to thinking. I have gone to four weddings this year and I’m already going to a couple next summer. This might be the last time my friends and I get to do this together. These thoughts ran through my head all night. I couldn’t shake them. Maybe it was time for me to start dating seriously. It seems like every relationship I have been in, the girl has

Nothing over-the-top or extravagant, just something relaxed with a person who makes you smile. Relationships seem to move faster through your college years than any other time in your life. One day, you are all about each other, and then next, you cannot stand to walk on the same side of the street as the person. I think that most people are not ready for a relationship when they begin them and that is why break-ups have become so common. There are certain things that guys in relationships do that I have refused to do, and that is why I am on the outside looking in. I do not do that daily call,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Haunted house mischaracterize mischaracterized d I’m truly saddened
Mr. Garcia, my name is Troy Covey, the senior pastor of Solomon’s Porch Church. I am the “jerk” director you mentioned in your colorful letter to the editor about our haunted house. I haven’t had much time to respond because of the overwhelming success of Nightmare so I’ll be brief. Did you really think you could get away with making false statements and accusations on a fair, balanced and truth-seeking media source? I will clarify and set the record straight on just a few of the many maligned statements you have made. 1. We except credit cards, checks and cash. 2. There is a cast of more than 150 actors and technicians each night, and there was more face paint and things flying at you in the dark than any other haunted house in town. 3. No one “forced” you to do anything, Mr. Garcia. We could never get away with that. 4. The entire cast, crew and survey team (more than 250 each night) volunteers to work; virtually virtual ly no one is paid! T They hey are are all working to build our deeply needed youth center here in midtown where there are few options for the youth. 5. Over-zealous religious people? Are you aware that there are people on the cast and crew who do not have Christian beliefs? In fact, one man would defend his ▼

in It’s the tough end. to look at all your friends with girlfriends, and not feel a little left out. A lot of people associate having a serious relationship with growing up, but I don’t fully buy into that yet. I feel more like trial-and-error, and the valuable experiences you get from them are more important than just the success of finding yourself in a relationship. We’re still in college, and though a lot of you are about to graduate, don’t go rushing and doing something that you are not ready for. Don’t take the track star approach in relationships, jumping from one to the next without being able to enjoy being single. It’s nice to go out and know you have no strings attached to you. But for the small percentage of you who have actually found someone special, all I can say is, it must be nice. I hope they are worth it. From someone who has let every good girl in his life slip away, let me tell you this: You’ll never miss that special someone until they’re gone, and that is reality. ✦

PLANTATION, Fla. — A week after Hurricane Wilma, more than 1 million Florida homes are still without power and many doctors’ offices remain closed, leaving hospitals swamped as the only source of medical care in some communities. “You can’t get any regular doctors on the phone. You can’t can’t get anything filled,” said said Tim Swett, 41. He waited five hours at one emergency room and finally left without help for a back problem he had aggravated while cleaning up his mother’s yard. It wasn’t until he tried another hospital, where disaster teams were set up in tents to handle minor injuries, that he saw a doctor. To help ease the medical crunch, the Federal Emergency Management Agency set up disaster medical assistance teams at four hospitals to help people with minor injuries, prescription medicine or those trying to follow up on routine medical care. At Westside Regional Medical Center in Plantation, a team had seen 190 patients — including Swett — by Sunday morning after opening Thursday. Thursday. The hospital had twice its normal traffic in the days after Wilma hit, said Chief Executive Earl H. Denning. “They were being overrun,” said Bill Wallace, who is commanding a team of 35 doctors, nurses and others working out of four tents set up in the hospital’ss parking lot. hospital’ Wilma was the eighth hurricane to strike or swipe Florida in 15 months. The storm killed 21 people in the state after battering Jamaica, Haiti and Mexico with strong wind and rain, and then tearing across the Gulf and Florida’s southern peninsula. In all, 38 deaths were blamed on the hurricane.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Rosa Parks was remembered Sunday by hundreds of mourners for her defiant act on a city bus that inspired the civil rights movement and helped pave the way for other blacks, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Cascades of roses surrounded Parks’ casket in a chapel bearing her name at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, where she was once a member. A separate wing was opened for the overflow crowd and hundreds more stood outside. “I was here when Rosa Parks started and I just wanted to be here when she departed,” said the Rev. Joseph Jos eph Low Lowery ery, who who co-fou co-founde nded d the Sou Southe thern rn Chri Chrisstian Leadership Conference with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The body of the 92-year-old Parks, who died Monday at her home in Detroit, was to later lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. No other woman has been granted that honor. Rice said she and others who grew up in Alabama during the height of Parks’ activism might not have realized her impact on their lives then, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I probably would not be standing here today as secretary of state.” Alabama Gov. Bob Riley credited Parks with inspiring protests against social injustice around the world. “I firmly believe God puts different people in different parts of history so great things can happen,” Riley said. “I think Rosa Parks is one of those people.” Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. Among those who supported her was King, who led the boycott of the city’s bus system that helped initiate the modern civil rights movement. “She was a gentle giant,” his son, Martin Luther

We saw who the true Kansas fans were on Saturday. Those were the ones who sang the “Rock Chalk Chant” from their seats and left Memorial Stadium high-fiving one another showing dignity and class. The thousand or so who ran on to the field to celebrate the 13-3 Kansas victory, however, dishonored themselves and the Jayhawks’ accomplishment. accomplishment. This wasn’t a monumental victory that deserved to bring the goalposts down, as we’ve seen the past two years.

Going into Saturday’s game, pundits expected the Missouri rushing attack to be the most important unit on the field. Instead, it was the Kansas rushing attack that decided the game’s outcome. The Jayhawks carried the ball 49 times for 208 yards, with senior running back Clark Green’s 125 yards leading the way. Kansas defeated its Border Showdown rival 13-3. Green seems to have a knack for breaking out against Missouri.
Last season, Green rushed for 118 yards, which helped Kansas win 31-14 in Columbia, Mo. Green said he’s motivated by the history of the rivalry. Each year, before Kansas plays Missouri, former coach Don Fambrough speaks to the players. He relays the history of the long-running feud between the state of Kansas and the state of Missouri, dating all the way back to Quantrill’s raid in Lawrence. Fambrough was KU football coach for eight seasons between 1971 and 1982, including a hiatus in the late 1970s. “I am here listening to the stories and all and you don’t want
Missouri to beat you,” Green said. “We just go out and play our heart out every game, but especially against Missouri.” Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was not sure why Green has been so consistently successful against Missouri. “I think maybe after being here for a couple years as a young player, he caught on to the intensity of this rivalry and what it means to the University of Kansas, to the people of Lawrence to the people in the state of Kansas,” Mangino said. Green, helped by the offensive line’s strong showing, helped the Jayhawkss have Jayhawk have a succes successful sful game game offensively.
“Clark is our workhorse,” sophomore offensive lineman Cesar Rodriguez said. “He works hard everyday. He gets blocks, he gets hurt, he pass blocks, he does everything that a running back should.” Senior quarterback Jason

Last year, a wild celebration was justifi jus tified ed aft after er Kan Kansas sas def defeat eated ed Kan Kan-sas State, because it ended an 11year losing streak to the Wildcats.

wasn’t ranked. The Jayhawks have defeated the Tigers handily the past two years, and there was no dramatic finish. It might have been different if Kansas won the game on a last-second hail mary, but everyone knew Kansas was going to win with five minutes remaining in the game. Athletics Department officials said the celebration was a poor decision. “We need to stop rushing the field when we’ve beaten a team three times in a row,” Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said. “We need to act like we’ve been there before, because we have.” Kansas football coach Mark Mangino agreed. “That is dangerous. We don’t need to do that,” he said. “I just don’t like it anywhere, whether it is on our field or on a field somewhere else.” Beyond being dangerous — Marchiony said he saw one man come inches from death, narrowly avoiding a goalpost landing on his head — the celebration sent the wrong message to the Kansas football team. The fans who chose to run on to the field Saturday, told the Kansas football team, loud and clear, that they expected little out of it.

The KU grounds crew at Memorial Stadium can take down the goalposts in about 22 seconds. For the workers underneath the posts Saturday, there was an extra incentive to move quickly. After defeating Missouri for the third consecutive year, fans stormed the field, tore down the goalpost in the north endzone, and carried it, along with the already-deconstructed post from the south endzone, off the field. The north endzoneinto post, still intact, was dumped Potter Lake near Memorial Stadium. Pieces from the south endzone post made their way down Jayhawk Boulevard and into the Chi Omega Fountain, where three police officers kept watch over the pieces. Stadium officials took away the pieces that remained in the stadium after the crowd had cleared, KU workers said. Fans ignored a taped pregame
message from Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, urging them to stay off the field. They also ignored repeated pleas from the public address announcer to “celebrate safely.” Fans did not swarm around the field before the game final minutes, which limited the number of people who got onto the field for the celebration unlike the previous two years when fans stormed the field after victories against Missouri and Kansas State. A crowd-control team patrolled the student section, but was told not to fight the oncoming rush, rather to unbolt the posts and walk away, Kansas event staff said. The goalposts must be replaced because they cannot be reconstructed. The company that manufactures the goalposts was notified of the potential need for replacements before the game, so the new posts will be ready for next Saturday’s game against Nebraska.

The Kansas 3-2 victory against Missouri on Friday ended Senior Day in dramatic fashion. Junior defender Holly Gault sprinted out of nowhere and received a textbook pass from senior forward Caroline Smith. It was a golden goal in double overtime. “I love to attack and there was no one in front of me,” Gault said.
“I was yelling as loud as I could to Caroline to pass me the ball.” The victory earned the Jayhawks a four-way tie for second place and the No. 5 seed in the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday in San Antonio. Kansas will play No. 4 seed Nebraska. Texas A&M won the conference outright after a victory Friday night. SEE SOCCER ON PAGE 8B

That mission starts Wednesday against Colorado, a team that Kansas beat earlier this season in Boulder, Colo. “It’s nothing that huge, nothing we can’t do,” Brown said. “But we’ve got to go now.” Rozum said the team needed to be on the same page in order to start winning again. “It takes everyone being in the game at the same time, everyone believing that we can do it,” she said.

Kansas didn’t win the men’s or women’s Big 12 cross country title over the weekend, but it was a big stepping stone for the program. Both teams improved from last year’s standings. Junior Benson Chesang was the Big 12 singles champion for the second year in a row. The only other runner to accomplish this for Kansas was Al Frame in 1954 and ’55. Chesang finished with a time of 23:45.
Texas’ Joe Thorne finished second with a time of 23:48. “It feels great to repeat,” Chesang said. “I’m really impressed with my team right now. I didn’t win this thing by myself. I had all my guys behind me and we just kept supporting each other.” The 13th-ranked men’s cross country team finished third overall, behind seven-time repeating champions Colorado and second-place finisher Texas. Kansas finished with an overall score of 68. Colorado had a score of 55 and Texas had 52.

Freshman breaks record The Missouri swimming and diving team came ot Lawrence this weekend and like its football and soccer counterparts, it left a loser. The Kansas swimming and diving team defeated No. 20 Missouri 175-125 on Friday night in Robinson Natatorium. Kansas last defeated Missouri six years ago. The victory moved the team to 2-1 in dual meet competition and 1-0 in the Big 12
Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said. “The past few years, we haven’t held our end of the deal.” Defeating a ranked team allowed the Jayhawks to see how good they really were, senior cocaptain Gina Gnatzig said. Although Friday’s victory boosted team morale, Gnatzig remained humble on her outlook for the rest of the season. “Since we beat Missouri, people will now come after us,” Gnatzig said. “Yes, it was a win, but it’s not going to be easy.”

Freshman Ashley Leidigh shattered the Robinson pool record by a half of a second in the 100-yard butterfly finishing with a time of 55.00 seconds. The old record was 55.52 seconds. Leidigh had one of the top times in the nation in the butterfly event, Gnatzig said. In addition to breaking the pool record in the 100-yard butterfly, Leidigh captured first place in the 200-yard butterfly and the 100-yard freestyle. She was also a mem-

Bradbury placed first in the IM. Hermann captured first in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard breaststroke. Schramka picked up a victory in the 200-yard backstroke. Other standout swims included victories by Gnatzig in the 200yard freestyle and Jenny Short in the 100-yard backstroke.
Conference. The early conference victory is an indication of the progress the team has made since the 2004-2005 season. Last year, the Jayhawks went 1-5 in the conference. The only conference victory was at the end of the season, against Iowa State. “We take the rivalry just as serious as every other team,”
Gnatzig said having a quicker start to the season would give the team ample time to make improvements. “Last year, we started doing really well halfway through the season at the North Carolina Invite,” Gnatzig said. “It was just so exciting to beat them. We haven’t beaten them since I’ve been here, and to do it in my final year is great,” she

For Kansas rower Jelayna Da Silva, getting an extra hour of sleep because of daylight-saving time on Sunday morning didn’t matter. She was awake at 4 a.m., ready to row at the Head of the Iowa regatta. The Kansas varsity women’s four boat, which has four women in a boat, finished second in the regatta from Iowa City, Iowa. “We had really good teamwork in this race,” Da Silva said. “We’ve been working a lot on our technique and fitness, and it all came together in this race.”

KU freshman swimmer Danielle Herrmann takes a breath during the 200-yard breaststroke Friday night in the Robinson Natatorium. Herrmann won the race with a time of 2:21.75. She also won the 100-yard breaststroke and helped the swimming and diving team defeat Missouri 175-125.
Rowers Jennifer Ebel and Kris Lazar competed in the women’s four boat with Da Silva. “I think we’re in good shape this year and that makes a difference,” Lazar said. “It’s encouraging to see for the spring season. We’re looking very strong.” But top-ranked teams such as Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa were more of an issue in the women’s varsity eight. Minnesota took first place, Wisconsin, which entered two boats, took second and third and Iowa took fourth place. Kansas finished fifth, but only half-second behind Iowa. All three teams were ranked in the top 20 last year. Other results for Kansas included fourth, fifth and sixth
places in the women’s open, with sophomore Tiffany Jeffers taking third. Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth said he was pleased with the rowers’ performances. “They’re rowing three twoand-a-half mile races in a day and performing very well.” Kansas will travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., next weekend to compete in the Head of the Hooch regatta. “The varsity eight is typically our main focus, so we’ll be working on that this week,” Da Silva said. “And almost everyone on varsity will be rowing in a single so we’ll be looking at that as well. But we’re always looking to come away with a win.” Improving their technique

and fitness is always something the women work on in practice and in competition. “It’s the little things we do to improve that make a big difference out on the water,” Ebel said. “We just always go out to row the race the best we can.” The Head of the Hooch will have several teams Kansas typically does not see, such as Tennessee, so it will be a good opportunity to see how it measures up against the competition. “We have to keep improving and improving,” Lazar said. “There’s no doubt our team likes racing, so it’ll be good to get out there and see how we compare to our competition.” — Edited by Nate Karlin
Loss ends Wildcats’ hope of North title MANHATTAN — Kansas State already knew its Big 12 North title hopes were between slim and none. Now, as the old one-liner goes, slim has left town. Saturday’s 23-20 loss to Colorado, which lifted the Buffaloes to a No. 25 ranking and gave them sole possession of the division lead, also eliminated Kansas State from contention. But the Wildcats can still salvage a bowl bid with two wins in their last three games, and they insist they can do it. “It’s tough. The locker room is down, but we know we’ve still got a chance to make it to a bowl game,” safety Marcus Marcu s Watts said after Saturday’s 2320 loss to Colorado eliminated the Wildcats from North conten-

Kansas State (4-4, 1-4), which has lost three straight, sits in fifth place in the six-team division, ahead of only Kansas. The Wildcats have already played the Jayhawks, meaning their last three games will come against teams ahead of them in the standings — and gunning for bowl berths of their own. Kansas State plays this weekend at Iowa State, which is coming off a 42-14 rout of Texas A&M.The Wildcats go to Nebraska after that, then close out the regular season at home against Missouri. “The spirit on this team, the effort, the improvement is still there,” linebacker Brandon Archer said. “I believe we can pull out two wins .” — The Associated Press

Smith suffers 3-year slump Defense holds quarterback to 179 yards B Y D D ANIEL BERK
[email protected] KANSANSENIOR SPORTSWRITER
For the third consecutive year, the Kansas defense stopped Brad Smith enough to secure a victory over rival Missouri. A week after being named national player of the week by USA Today and Sports Illustrated, the Missouri senior quarterback struggled throughout the game completing just 14 of 37 passes for 141 yards and gaining only 38 yards rushing. Last week, Smith accumulated nearly 500 yards of total offense against Nebraska, which entered the game with the No. 1 rush defense in the Big 12 Conference. But this week was a different story for Smith against another top defense. “Losing this rivalry game, it hurts, it hurts a lot,” Smith said. “I gave it everything I got, but there just isn’t anything I can do about it now.” The Kansas defense consistently bottled up Smith at the line of scrimmage and forced him to move outside the pocket, rather than have the ability to sit in the pocket and create plays, like he did last weekend. Smith said the Missouri offense was expecting more blitzes from the Kansas defense like in years past, but instead it dropped defenders backSmith into zone coverage and made scramble. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said the defense made adjustments from last year and gave Smith several different looks than it had in the past. “We got to Brad Smith the last couple of years with intense pressure and blitzing,” Mangino said. “There is no doubt that Missouri was prepared for all those blitzes. Our defensive line dropped to zones and squeezed

the pocket in front of him to force him out of the pocket.” Mangino also said that he had never seen a defense execute its game plan as well as the Kansas defense did on Saturday. Smith said the offense was out of sync all game. Whether it was penalties, sacks or miscommunication, the Kansas defense had Missouri’s offense off-balanced and frustrated. Kansas’ 13-3 victory against Missouri marks the last time Kansas will play against Smith. He will end his career later this season at Missouri with nearly every passing and rushing record in the books, but will also leave with a 1-3 career record against Kansas. Smith said Kansas would always rise to the occasion and make plays to stop him from what he wanted to do. Smith has accounted for 400 yards of total offense during the past two years against Kansas, which was 80 fewer yards than he accounted for last week against Nebraska. Smith, however, began to move the ball effectively late in the fourth quarter. He scrambled for a first down on fourth and 10 and broke free from a Nick Reid tackle. After completing three more passes for three first downs and a gain of 33 yards, Kansas cornerback Theo Baines intercepted Smith’s pass at the goal line with fewer than five minutes in the game. The interception secured the victory for Kansas. Senior Jayhawk defensive end Charlton Keith, who registered two sacks of Smith and pres-

Swanson was pleased, but not surprised, with Green’s performance. “Clark was huge. Clark was just being Clark. He will pound it all day,” Swanson said. “Fortunately the line did a great job creasing some lanes for him. Once he gets an open field he is really hard to bring down.” Green wasn’t the only successful Kansas running back. Junior Jon Cornish accumulated 54 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Green scored the team’s first touchdown of the game in the second quarter, from one yard out. Green was key on that scoring drive. He rushed the ball four times for 27 yards and the score.
“I have had the good fortune to be in some really good programs that had great defenses. Today I had never been around a defensive unit that executed their game plan, exactly the way it was set up in practice.” — coach Mark Mangino on the defense’s performance. “I can’t tell you that I am a media watchdog, but I don’t think anyone picked them to win the game today, but they knew they were going to win the game.” —Mangino on who expected them to win the game. “We definitely have our spirits pretty high, we don’t think our season is over by a long shot. We are just trying to stay positive and go out there and get us two more wins and get us bowl eligibl e.” — Swanson on the team’s bowl hopes. “The wind really blew hard behind our offensive line and running backs because they ran well in the fourth quarter.” — Mangino on the team’s choice to have the wind at its back in the fourth quarter and its influence on the team’s success.
“We made mistakes, and you can’t make mistakes. Especially against a good defense,” Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. “Give them some credit, they are a good defensive football team.” Kansas held Missouri’s versatile quarterback, Brad Smith, to 38 y ards on 20 carries. Smith ran for more than 200 yards last week against Nebraska. “They were able to make adjustments on the fly as far as responsibilities and did a good job of game planning and executing it,” Missouri running back Tony Temple said. The Kansas rushing attack actually helped neutralize its opponent’s rushing game. Because Kansas was able to run the football effectively and gain first downs, the Missouri offense stayed off the field. Kansas held the ball for nearly 10 minutes longer than Missouri. Mangino recognized the discrepancy in time of possession as one of the keys in Kansas’ victory. “Defensive coordinators are always running to the offensive coordinators saying can we run the ball, can we move the chains, can we eat up the clock. Let’s just try to keep our guys off the field so they can be fresh when they go out,” Mangino said.
Rodriguez said Missouri dropped members of its secondary throughout the game, afraid Kansas was going to throw the ball. Rodriguez thought that approach was due to the fact that Kansas threw the ball 50 times the week earlier against Colorado. The Kansas defense certainly was fresh when it came on the field. The defense had another stellar performance, holding Missouri to just 180 yards of total offense including 33 rushing yards. The defense also forced two turnovers — an intercep — Edited by Jonathan Kealing tion and a fumble rec overy.

Potter actor looking to work magic on girls NEW YORK — What’s it like growing up as the magical Harry Potter? For teen actor Daniel Radcliffe, it’s it’s not that weird. Radcliffe, the 16-year-old star of the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Go blet of Fire,” has spent almost a third of his life making movies. His latest film, based on J.K. Rowling’s novel, opens in two weeks. Radcliffe was first cast as Potter when he was 11. Since then, a lot has changed: he’s taller and his face has become more defined, his voice has changed, he’s got complexion issues and is growing starter stubble. Radcliffe is still waiting for one teenage milestone — a girlfriend. Have sparks flown between him and Emma Watson, who plays the nerdy Hermione Granger? “No. But I had a big crush on her when I first met her, definitely,” he said.
