The Associated Press
October 9, 2006 in print edition on C7
Ron Prince came into Manhattan vowing to build a “fast, tough and disciplined” team. With the help of a handful of newcomers, he might be getting it done faster than expected. “Fast” would be freshman running back Leon Patton, who got his first start Saturday after Prince demoted senior Thomas Clayton. Patton, displaying both speed and skill at following his blockers, repaid the promotion by running for 151 yards and a touchdown and returning a kickoff 95 yards for another score in a 31-27 comeback victory over Oklahoma State.

By Andrew Hartsock
October 9, 2006 in print edition on C6

Participants in the “Jayhawk Big Bird Fly-in” late last month at the Clinton International Model Airport defy that stereotype. The Big Bird event - one of three major events held by the Jayhawk Model Masters at the field just south of Eagle Bend Golf Course in the shadow of the Clinton Lake dam - is designed for large-scale model airplanes.

By Phil Hellmuth
October 9, 2006 in print edition on C5
In order to write this, I will have to admit what I had in a hand versus one of my business partners who also happens to be the 1992 World Champion of poker, Russ Hamilton. I did not want to tell him what I had in this hand, as he is already too perceptive! It will also confirm to him that he played a hand really well against me last week in Aruba (I do not want to give him that much credit at the poker table!).

October 9, 2006 in print edition on C5
High school sports injury rates in the United States have dropped by more than half in the past decade, probably because of better equipment and other advances, researchers reported last week. In all nine major sports examined except volleyball, injury rates were at least two times higher in the mid-1990s than they were during the 2005-06 school year, said Dawn Comstock, a researcher at Columbus Children’s Hospital in Ohio and lead author of the study.

By Judith Ingram - Associated Press Writer
October 9, 2006 in print edition on A8
Russia has become a deadly place for journalists who run afoul of government officials or their business and political partners.

Whatever it is - luck, stamina, heart, pride or poise - Kansas University’s football team better find a quick remedy. And fix it quicker than anything has been fixed.

The Jayhawks are 3-8 in league games that are decided by one score. Of those eight losses, Kansas had a lead in the final five minutes of six of them.
