ranbeatein ramies 9 Statistics By BUCK TURNBULL Sunday Register Staff Writer LAWRENCE, KAN. Just when a sixth straight victory seemed about ready to be salted away, Iowa State's football team suddenly became its own worst enemy here Saturday. Leading by 17-7 midway through the third quarter, and after missing a perfect opportunity to make it 24-7, the previously unbeaten Cyclones surrendered two killing fumbles that handed Kansas a 28-17 triumph. The first one was by fullback Jack Seabrooke at his eight-yard line. Three plays later a Jayhawk freshman combination, former high school teammates Frank Seurer and Kerwin Bell, hooked up on a scoring Kansas Coach Don Fambrough.

"Our first victory this season (over Syracuse) was on my 39th wedding anniversary," said Fambrough. "Now the second comes on my birthday. "I'll have to come up with something next week. Keck, I might even come up with hemorrhoids," he quipped, referring to the ailment George Brett has made famous. Reminded by a newsman that his birthday really is today and he was celebrating it one day early, Fambrough replied: "Don't say that.

I wanted to fire my kids up in the fourth quarter and told them it was today." Oh, well, jokes and white lies are for the winners. There were no smiles or funny stories in Iowa State's-dressing room. "The distance we gave Kansas for two touchdowns was the difference in the game," said dejected Cyclone Coach Donnie Duncan. Had Momentum "We had the momentum, the score was in our favor, and we had the wind coming up in the fourth quarter. Everything was on our side until we started turning the football over." 1 This had not been a Cyclone problem before during the five victories that lifted them into the nation's top 20, ranking 16th in the United Press International poll of coaches and 19th in the Associated Press poll of writers.

They had committed only seven turnovers in those games, and they played an error-free first half here while recovering from an early 7-0 IOWA STATE Please turn to Page 2D ISU KMOM 21 50-213 40-220 17 117 0 13 4-l-I -14-2 4-34 4-4 4-2 3-2 1-1S -4 The second fumble this one by quarterback John Quinn occurred at the Cyclone 37 early in the last quarter.

(AP) The names come from the heart of baseball lore: Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Duke Snider, Mickey Mantle. They were some of the game's greatest sluggers but none of them ever accomplished in a World Series what Willie Aikens of the Kansas City Royals did Saturday. Aikens rocketed a pair of home runs his second two-homer game of the 1980 Series as the Royals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-3, to tie the best-of-seven series at 2-2.

The homers, in the first and second innings, sent Aikens crashing into the World Series record book alongside the game's immortals and left him standing at the plate, admiring their flight. "When I hit a baseball well and I know it's going out, I like to watch and get some enjoyment out of it," said Aikens. There was no doubt that either of the two were going out. They were a pair of rockets, labeled from the moment they left his bat. "I'm a streak hitter and I'm on a pretty good streak," smiled Aikens, who was named after Willie Mays, another of the Hall of Fame crowd.

Actually, when the World Series returned to Kansas City this weekend, Aikens was concerned. "I really haven't done too well here this year," said Aikens, who had 20 home runs during the regular season. "There's no doubt in my mind, this is the biggest park in the American League and the ball doesn't carry at all. That's hurt me a lot. I've hit a lot of long flies back to the track that would be homers in other parks, but are outs here." That was no problem in Game Four.

His homers were tremendous blasts the first one a ringing liner and the second a majestic, high drive. Philadelphia Manager Dallas Green is beginning to look for a little help with Aikens. "If you've got a book on him, I'll use it" be said. "I do believe we're not pitching him right. But he's on a roll."

Bad words bring umpires Dutch Rennert (left), Nick DDIS Bremigan between Royals Brett hits Frey hits By GENE RAFFENSPERGER Spans Editor KANSAS CITY, MO. Philadelphia Phillies Manager Dallas Green said he didn't see a knockdown pitch Saturday. Kansas City Royals Manager Jim Frey said he was sure he did. And George Brett said that if he had gotten one more pitch under the chin, "I go out to the mound." With the Royals leading, 5-1, in the fifth inning of Game Four of the World Series, Brett was at bat against Dickie Noles, the man who had surrendered Willie Mays Alkens' second home run, the one Aikens stood and admired. Noles' pitch to Brett on a 1-1 count buzzed under Brett's chin and Brett hit the deck and rolled over.

The ball had missed him but the crowd reacted in an ugly manner and Frey raced from the dugout in angry protest. Home plate umpire Don Denkinger of Waterloo, blocked Frey's path to the mound and had to forcibly restrain the Kansas City manager from going after Noles. Bulldogs (5-2). First of all, they've now won more games than any other Drake team coached by Sbelton. The 1980 team is certain to finish with the school's best record since the 1972 squad went 7-5 and this is the first time Drake has won three in a row since '72.

It was homecoming, and a crowd of 9,620 rather disappointing considering the Bulldogs had walloped Colorado, 41-22, the week before watched Drake storm to a 27-0 lead before West Texas State roared back behind No. 2 quarterback Ricky Davis. Photos by DAVE PETERSON Jim Frey and Pete Rose the deck, the roof While this was going on, Pete Rose, the Phillies' first baseman, got into a jawing match with Frey. "He (Rose), told me to get off the field," Frey said. "I don't remember my reaction.

Then he told me Noles wasn't throwing at George. Pete Rose doesn't know if he was throwing at Brett. Dallas Green doesn't know if be was throwing at Brett." When the inning ended, the partisan Royals jeered and hooted at Noles and Rose as they approached the Phillies' dugout. Just as Rose reached the steps to the dugout, an object, believed to be a rolled-up paper cup, was thrown from the stands and struck him. The Phillies boiled out of the dugout looking for the thrower and the security people took up the search from the stands.

"Something hit me on my sunglasses when I was just about to go into the dugout," said Rose. "I don't know what it was. You learn after 18 DISPUTE Please turn to Page 6D "We sure make it exciting, don't we?" Sbelton commented. "Gosh, I really don't have to go through games like this to be happy." Drake's senior quarterback Rick Casko put on another brilliant performance. He connected on 15 of 28 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns two of them to Bob Graff, the second-team split end who was playing because Tim McManus had vision problems after being poked in DRAKE Please turn to Page 9D wa whips iidcafs, ids slump tue of Liberty' les Hawkeyes, 25-3 Statistics Northwestern 15 40-76 lews 24 B-M0 134 iwns yards yards yards 12 41 10-25-1 12-22-0 7-41 4-41 0-0 5-2 e-47 -124 i-kl SCORING islam a 0 0-3 i 25 10 icKllllp 6 pass from Suess (Rosy kick) 5 Roby 27 Anderson 22 cKilllp 1 run (Roby kick) wiener 7 pass from Suess (kick tailed) ifely Kerrigan tackled by Wet AURY WHITE R9istw Staff Wrttr VA CITY, IA.

"Count 'em," Shelton said, pointing to his fingers.

"One two three four five." Drake's football coach was talking about victories and, yes, he's got five in the bag already. Saturday's 27-21 decision over West Texas State, in a game that started as a laugher and turned into a white-knuckler at the end, was a very big one for the.
