AssOciAted press
GLENDALE, Ariz. Even on a
very bad night, the Chicago Bears
found a way to stay unbeaten.
They can thank their defense, punt
returner Devin Hester and Arizona
kicker Neil Rackers for that.
Chicago, down 20-0 at the half,
returned two fumbles for touch-
downs, then Devin Hester returned
a punt 83 yards for a touchdown
with 2:58 remaining and the Bears
(6-0) overcame six turnovers by Rex
Grossman to beat the Cardinals 24-
23 Monday night.
Rackers, who connected from 41,
28 and 29 yards, missed a 41-yarder
to the left with 53 seconds left for
what would have been the game
winner for Arizona (1-5).
After Grossman threw his fourth
interception, the Cardinals were
trying to use up time. But Brian
Urlacher stripped the ball from
Edgerrin James and Charles Tillman
scooped it up for a 40-yard return to
cut Arizonas lead to 23-17 with five
minutes left.
On their next possession, the
Cardinals were forced to punt.
Hester caught the ball, broke a few
arm tackles and sprinted upfield,
scoring his second punt return for
a touchdown this season and giving
Chicago the lead for the first time
all night.
Rookie quarterback Matt Leinart,
making his second NFL start,
threw for two first-quarter touch-
downs while the Cardinals shook up
Grossman.
The Bears QB lost two fumbles,
was intercepted four times and
struggled to hit receivers when he
did manage to get the ball cleanly
away, going 14-for-37 for 148 yards.

After losing five straight matches,
the Kansas volleyball team salvaged
its postseason hopes when it defeated
in-state rival Kansas State and Baylor
last week at home, jumping three
spots in the Big 12 standings up to
eighth.
Winning does amazing things,
coach Ray Bechard said. Sometimes
you think youll never lose again and
sometimes you think youll never
win again.
The Jayhawks (10-9, 3-7 Big 12)
were thinking theyd never win again
until last Wednesday, when they beat
the Wildcats in a four-game match.
The momentum carried over to
Saturday when they swept the Baylor
Bears.
The losing streak lasted three long
weeks for the Jayhawks. But it was
nothing new to a team that went
through similar stretches before
making runs to the NCAA tourna-
ment last year.
In 2005, the team went on an
eight-game losing streak before mak-
ing it to the NCAA tournament. In
2004, the team had a five-game los-
ing streak before finding a way back
into the tournament.
This season, in the midst of the
slump, Bechard relied on the veterans
to keep morale
up. Seniors Jana
Correa and
Megan Hill and
junior Emily
Brown kept the
team motivated.
They were
all good volley-
ball players at the
high-school level
and they prob-
ably arent used
to losing, Brown, right-side hit-
ter, said. I told them you have to
stay positive. If you stay down, your
whole season is going to snowball
down. But if you stay positive and
get a win here or there it will turn
right back around.
It appears for now the tide
has turned back in Kansas favor.
Correa, after suffering a season-
ending knee injury last season, has
become the leader on the court. She
not only continues to lead the offense
in kills, but is also improving her
defense.
After all the situations Ive been
through, like the knee surgery, Im
trying to help the team in other
ways, she said. Im helping in dig-
ging and block-
ing instead of
just hitting.
Correa, an
outside hitter, is
determined to
go to the tour-
nament all four
years she is with
the team. Before
she arrived in
2003, Kansas
had never been
to an NCAA tournament.
Correa said she told the younger
players to believe during the los-
ing streak because she knew it was
possible to get back in for the post-
season.
Although the two victories
boosted confidence, the postseason
dreams are still just that: dreams.
Traditionally, the top-six teams in
the Big 12 are locks to make the
NCAA tournament. Last season,
Kansas received a generous bid after
the team finished eighth in the con-
ference, but that rarely happens.
Correa said that if the team con-
tinued to play well, it could finish in
the top five or six in conference.
The Jayhawks are beginning what
they call the second half of their
season. After playing the first round
of conference teams, they will begin
the second round Saturday at Texas
A&M. The Jayhawks defeated the
Aggies at home in a five-game match
earlier this season.
Two of the Jayhawks next three
matches are at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center, where they are 6-3
this season. Kansas plays at Texas
A&M (9-8, 2-7) Saturday, then
Oklahoma (16-3, 8-1) and Texas
Tech (10-8, 3-6) come to Lawrence.
I think we are gelling right now,
Hill, outside hitter, said. We were
standoffish at first, but now, we are
like, Bring on the teams because
were ready to play.

Between 5% and 20% of Americans are affected by the u each year*
An average of 36,000 Americans die from the u each year*
Flu, medically known as inuenza, is a viral infection with symptoms that
include headache, muscle aches, chills, fever, cough, sore throat,
appetite loss and fatigue
The u is often transmitted by inhaling droplets in the air that are infected
with the virus, or by handling items that have been contaminated by an
infected person
*Source: Centers for Disease Control

Unanimous votes have
Kansas leading Big 12 poll
The votes have been tallied
and Kansas is the unanimous No.
1 choice in the Big 12 Preseason
Coaches Poll.
The Jayhawks received the
maximum 11 frst-place votes in
the poll for the 2006-07 season.
The poll results come as no
surprise because Kansas returns
every key player from last years
team, which tied for the Big 12
regular season championship and
won the conference tournament,
and added McDonalds All-Ameri-
cans Sherron Collins and Darrell
Arthur.
The Jayhawks are led by
sophomores Brandon Rush and
Julian Wright, who were named
Co-Preseason All-Big 12 Players of
the Year by conference coaches.
Because coaches arent
allowed to vote for their own
teams, Texas A&M received the
remaining frst place vote and
was picked to fnish second in the
conference. This is the highest
preseason placement in school
history for the Aggies, who return
four starters and their top six
scorers from last season.
In order of points, Oklahoma
State, Texas, Kansas State and
Texas Tech close out the top half
of the preseason poll. Baylor, Mis-
souri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa
State and Colorado occupy the
bottom half.

When a compliance staffer told
Bohl the department needed more
workers, Bohl allegedly respond-
ed with his now-famous remark,
which is included in the infractions
committees report: Compliance
doesnt sell tickets.
Why was the womens basket-
ball program punished more
severely than mens basketball?
Rick Evrard, the Universitys
counsel on matters relating to
NCAA rules violations, said it was
a matter of timing.
When Kansas submitted its
report to the NCAA in June 2005,
its investigation had revealed eight
possible violations by the womens
basketball program and Kansas had
still not learned about the viola-
tions in mens basketball committed
by booster Don Davis, who provid-
ed impermissible gifts to both KU
junior Darnell Jackson and former
player J.R. Giddens.
Also leading to the self-imposed
penalty on the womens program
was the fact that Marian Washington
and her assistants, who are no lon-
ger with the University, declined to
be interviewed about the infrac-
tions so the Athletics Department
chose to place the program on pro-
bation,
We said, Were going to take the
high road here and were going to
conclude that violations occurred,
Evrard said.
Who decided what the punish-
ment would be?
The punishment was handed
down by the NCAA Committee on
Infractions, an eight-person com-
mittee of college administrators and
law professors. Gene March, chair-
man of the board, is a law professor
at the University of Alabama.
How does this affect recruiting
for the football team?
The committee accepted Kansas
self-imposed punishment of accept-
ing only three junior-college play-
ers in both 2006 and 2007. The
committees additional sanctions
prohibit the team from using more
than 22 scholarships in both 2007
and 2008, taking away three schol-
arships both years from the 25 that
are usually allowed.
The NCAAs penalty should
not affect Kansas coach Mark
Manginos recruiting efforts drasti-
cally, because with Mangino, the
team has used an average of 21.4
of the available 25 scholarships for
incoming players each year.
Even though the reduction in
scholarships is a serious matter, its
not a fatal matter, Mangino said.

NCLS Game Five postponed
New York, St. Louis pitchers get extra day of rest; coaches fear muddy field
by MIke fItZPatRICk
assoCIated PRess
ST. LOUIS So much for all
the scrutiny about pitching on short
rest.
Day-long rain caused Game 5 of
the NL championship series between
New York and St. Louis to be post-
poned Monday night, meaning Mets
lefty Tom Glavine and Jeff Weaver
of the Cardinals will start Tuesday
night on full rest.
The teams are tied at two games
each in the best-of-seven playoff.
Game 5 was rescheduled for 8:19
p.m. EDT at Busch Stadium.
For the second time in the NLCS,
the clubs will travel without a day
off. Theyll play Game 6 at Shea
Stadium in New York on Wednesday
night, as scheduled.
Glavine and Weaver both had
been slated to start Monday night
on three days rest after rain pushed
back the series opener by one day
last week.
Now, another washout eliminated
the need for that.
Its certainly not a bad thing, said
Glavine, who has tossed 13 scoreless
innings in two playoff starts. Its just
something in this day and age were
not conditioned to do.
St. Louis manager Tony La Russa
played down the issue of regular
rest, saying Weaver and Glavine both
knew the task at hand all along and
had been preparing for it since Game
1. La Russa thought a bigger concern
Monday was the drenched field.
I think both guys have been
gearing themselves to go, so they are
ready. I think the position players
would have had to deal with the ele-
ments, he said. It would be danger-
ous and a lot to ask.
St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter is
slated to start Game 6 against rookie
John Maine. Both will be on full rest,
as well.
Glavine threw seven shutout
innings of four-hit ball last Thursday
night, beating Weaver 2-0 on Carlos
Beltrans two-run homer.
Im turning into the rain man
this series, Glavine said. Hopefully,
the results will be as good as they
were the last time we got rained
out.
After consecutive victories by St.
Louis, the Mets evened the series by
winning 12-5 Sunday night.
They got several big hits from
Carlos Delgado and Beltran, and
a respectable start by erratic lefty
Oliver Perez.
Now, the second rainout of the
series gives Cardinals slugger Albert
Pujols a chance to rest his sore right
hamstring, and St. Louis young bull-
pen gets a day to recover from Game
4.
Five relievers were tagged for 10
runs _ nine earned _ and 11 hits over
five innings Sunday night.
Maybe thats one reason man-
ager Willie Randolph and a few
other Mets sounded a little disap-
pointed about not playing Monday,
even though it put the 40-year-old
Glavine back on regular rest.
Its good for Glav, but also it
helps out their bullpen. We got in
their bullpen last night, they threw
a lot of pitches, so it gives their
bullpen an extra day. A pretty even
matchup, New Yorks David Wright
said. Youre prepared to play, even
when you wake up in the morning
and its raining, and you come to the
park and youre ready to go, so its
kind of a mental letdown.
In the end, does the washout favor
either team?
Ill tell you in nine innings,
Cardinals outfielder Preston Wilson
said. Im not smart enough to know
all of that. All I know is weve got an
extra day off.
Glavine is 8-6 with a 3.53 ERA
in 25 regular-season starts on short
rest, but only 2-5 with a 6.75 ERA
in seven postseason starts without
full rest.
The loose and lanky Weaver, 30,
has never started on three days rest
in his major league career.
The Mets did get good news
about their injury-depleted pitching
staff, though.
Orlando Hernandez, who has
missed the entire postseason thus
far because of a torn muscle in his
right calf, threw 72 pitches in an
encouraging bullpen session Sunday
and could return in time for the
World Series if New York gets past
the Cardinals.
Now I can dance, a cheerful El
Duque said. I threw every pitch. I
think Im ready for next week.
Mets starter Steve Trachsel,
knocked out of Game 3 in the sec-
ond inning with a bruised thigh after
getting hit by Wilsons hard come-
backer, was feeling better, too.

Kansas has work to do before Baylor
Amanda sellers/KANsAN
oklahoma states Adarius Bowman exploits the Kansas defense as he runs to make a touchdown during Saturdays game. Mangino blamed the loss on a complete defensive breakdown but said he plans to correct the problems
by next weekends game.
By ryAn schnEidEr
After watching tape Sunday of his
defense getting torched for more than 400
passing yards during this weekends loss,
Mark Mangino saw problems with more
than just the secondary.
This loss was a total defensive collapse.
Kansas football coach said linebackers
misreading patterns and an inconsistent
pass rush contributed to the poor play of
the secondary.
To blame the secondary would not be
accurate, Mangino said during Mondays
Big 12 Conference Football Coaches
Teleconference. Its an 11-man situation
that we have to get corrected.
The defense needs to fix its problem
quickly. One of the nations best passing
offenses awaits as the next challenge for
Kansas struggling defense on Saturday.
Baylor, which switched to an offense
this season similar to the one run by
Texas Tech, has one of the best passing
offenses in the country. The Bears pass-
ing offense ranks 10th in the nation,
averaging 285 yards per game. Baylor
threw for 320 yards Saturday against the
Longhorns, whose defense ranks 11th in
the nation.
By comparison, Kansas pass defense
ranks 117th out of 119 Division I-A
teams, giving up an average of 281 yards
per game.
Mangino said having the defense watch
tape of its second-half performance against
Oklahoma State was a good learning expe-
rience. Pass defense, which includes more
than just the secondary, will be a major
focus throughout the week in practice.
Pressure on the quarterback is an area
that Mangino said was average but needed
to be improved. Oklahoma State quarter-
back Bobby Reid was able to stand in the
pocket and find open receivers, namely
Adarius Bowman.
In the variation of the spread offense
that Baylor runs, getting to the quarter-
back quickly will be the key to stopping
the passing attack. Without pressure, the
quarterback is able to stand back and wait
for a defensive back to make a mistake
and then exploit it with a pass.
Mangino said the mistakes his team
made against Oklahoma State could
be corrected in time for this weekends
game.
The key is to identify what the
problems are and get them corrected,
Mangino said.
football Notes
cornish injured:
Mangino said he expected senior run-
ning back Jon Cornish to play this week-
end against Baylor despite sitting out most
of the second half of Saturdays loss to
Oklahoma State.
No tV for Ku-cu:
The Oct. 28 game between Kansas and
Colorado was not a part of the Big 12s
television package that was announced
Monday. The kickoff time for the game at
Memorial Stadium is 1 p.m.

Questions answered regarding Kansas infractions
By c.J. MoorE
Editors note: Sports Administration
reporter C.J. Moore answers ques-
tions about the NCAA Committee on
Infractionss report for Kansas.
What does being on probation
mean?
Because the University has been
placed on probation with the NCAA
Committee on Infractions, the
Athletics Department is subject to
a repeat violators provision. This
provision found in the NCAA
rulebook opens the door for stiff-
er penalties to be assessed if the
University commits more violations
in the next five years.
Over the next five years we have
to be especially careful and especial-
ly vigilant, associate athletics direc-
tor Jim Marchiony said.
During the three-year probation
placed on Kansas by the NCAA,
the school is required to do the fol-
lowing:
Develop and implement an educa-
tional program about NCAA legisla-
tion for its coaches and all Athletics
Department personnel
Submit a preliminary report to the
infractions committee by Dec. 15 of
this year, establishing a schedule for
how the Athletics Department plans
to implement its compliance and
educational programs
Submit annual reports to the
infractions committee by Aug. 15
during the next three years, describ-
ing the progress that has been made
in compliance and the educational
programs; the report must also detail
the tracking of recruits who come
to campus prior to enrolling and
document the Universitys compli-
ance with the other penalties that
were assessed in mens basketball
and football.
Kansas must submit a letter at the
end of its probation to the com-
mittee verifying that the Athletics
Department followed NCAA regula-
tions.
But more than anything,
Marchiony said, being on proba-
tion was a public stigma for the
University.
Will bill self have to kick some-
body off of scholarship next
year?
NCAA allows for a program to
have 13 players on scholarship, how-
ever, with the penalty Kansas could
only have 12 players on scholarship
next season.
If everyone returned in 2007, Self
would either have to defer the penal-
ty one year or kick one of his current
players off of scholarship.
Speculation has been made that
sophomore Brandon Rush will bolt
for the NBA after this season and
Self has even said its a possibility. If
that is the case and Kansas doesnt
sign any more recruits for next sea-
son, everyone would be able to stay
on scholarship.
How long is the punishment in
affect?
The Athletics Department is on
probation for the next three years,
ending Oct. 11, 2009. Both the mens
basketball and football teams will
serve their punishments during the
next two seasons.
Who is al bohl, and why is he
part of these violations?
Al Bohl was the athletics direc-
tor for Kansas, who was fired in
April 2003 by Chancellor Robert
Hemenway. Under Bohls watch,
Kansas committed numerous viola-
tions that went unreported to the
NCAA or the Big 12 conference by
its compliance department.
I didnt know whether to laugh
or cry during Kansas second-half
meltdown against Oklahoma
State. After all, the best cure
for depression is laughter, and
Kansas gave me plenty to laugh
about. What I found most hilari-
ous was the secondarys inability
to stop Adarius Bowman, the
Cowboy receiver who totaled 301
yards and four touchdowns.
Who was supposed to be cov-
ering this guy? I know who could
have been: Charles Gordon, the
former KU cornerback who left
a year early to pursue a career in
the NFL. He still could be suiting
up for Kansas on Saturdays if he
had chosen to return.
Gordon wasnt drafted and
currently is on the practice squad
for the Minnesota Vikings. Hes
not making much money for an
NFL player and doesnt dress for
games. It wasnt a now-or-never
decision; all this wouldve been
available a year later.
So why did you do it Flash?
Kansas obviously needs you more
than the Vikings do. You could
have helped Kansas stop big pass
plays that cost it victories against
Toledo, Nebraska, Texas A&M
and Oklahoma State. With you,
the Jayhawks could have a good
defense. They could even be
undefeated.
I know: You didnt want to
play offense. But you wouldnt
need to. Kansas offense is much
better than last season. Scoring
25 points should be good enough
to defeat Oklahoma State. Its not
the offense thats in need, its the
defense.
Saturdays second half was
the worst the Kansas defense
has played since coach Mark
Manginos first season. Maybe
last season spoiled me, but I dont
like seeing 603 total yards from
the other team, 35 points allowed
in one half or 301 yards for one
receiver.
The defense was as dead as
the Memorial Stadium crowd in
the second half. It just rolled over
and died, even after the offense
came back to within three points
in the fourth quarter with a beau-
tiful two-point conversion. Two
plays later, Kansas was down by
10 again.
Sophomore Aqib Talib is a
good cornerback, but he cov-
ers only one side of the field.
That leaves a big hole on the left
side of the defense, a hole that
Gordon dug for the Jayhawks.
He couldve led Kansas back
to another bowl game, which is
suddenly an unlikely possibility.
He couldve been one of the most
important players in Kansas foot-
ball history. Instead hes practic-
ing football for a living.
But whats done is done.
Gordon isnt here and Kansas
football will be finished when
it loses to Baylor this weekend.
Thank God its basketball season.
