Lawrence restaurants and bars are sure to host packed houses Saturday during the Final Four, and especially when the Jayhawks take the court shortly before 8 p.m. The advice from several area sports bars: Get there early.

Thom Glanzman, manager at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Mass., said he expects a large crowd when the doors open at 10 a.m., more than nine hours before the Jayhawks tip off against the Ohio State University Buckeyes.

“Within 60 seconds,” said Glanzman on how quickly he anticipates spots will go. And there won’t be any saving spots for friends, he said, as patrons will only be

TOPEKA — The Kansas House on Thursday gave final approval to a bill that supporters said was needed to protect religious beliefs, but opponents said it legalized discrimination against gays.

The bill called the Kansas Preservation of Religious Freedom Act would allow people to use their religious beliefs as a defense if a governmental entity charged them with illegal discrimination.

The bill was sent to the Senate on a 9133. If approved there, it would go to Gov. Sam Brownback, whose administration has already tes- Sloan tified in support of the bill.

Rep. Lance Kinzer, R-Olathe, said the measure was needed to protect religious freedoms in an environment of changing court rulings.

But Lawrence rep- Ballard resentatives said the bill, if enacted, would nullify a Lawrence city ordinance that extends protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation.

During debate Wednesday on the bill, House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, asked Kinzer if under Kinzer’s bill an apartment owner could cite his religious beliefs to fight a complaint if he refused to rent to a same-sex couple.

“That is generally correct,” Kinzer said.

Locally, Reps. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, and Davis voted against the bill. Reps. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora, and TerriLois Gregory, R-Baldwin City, voted for it.

On final action, several statements were read by opponents of the bill.

Rep. Bob Grant, D-Frontenac, voted against the legislation, describing it as a typical “gotcha” bill. He predicted there would be campaign postcards accusing those who voted against it of being against religious freedom when that wasn’t true.

“It’s just natural for a KU student to enjoy basketball and enjoy the games,” he said.

He grew up a big soccer fan, and while he still enjoys soccer, he said that Jayhawk basketball might be “kind of on the same level.”

And when you’ve lived with essentially one major sport your whole life, that’s no small statement.

While he did play some basketball in Peru, he said, major college sports were something new to Mirpuri.

“In Peru, universities don’t have these kinds of college sports,” he said.

Tournament time is especially exciting, and he’s picked up so much of the sport he’s even using NCAA Tournament metaphors now to describe what sports are like in Africa.

There, he said, soccer is big. And most of the African nations cheer for each other in the World Cup each year.

Most of the restaurants contacted by the JournalWorld were not taking

But if they are, it’s probably too late.

Over at the Jayhawker, 701 Mass., manager Lisa Robinson said they’ve been booked since the end of KU’s win against North Carolina.

KU PHARMACEUTICAL GARDEN

Tomatillo plant shows promise in cancer treatment

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The latest addition to a pharmaceutical garden at Kansas University will be a tomatillo plant with recently discovered chemical compounds that could lead to new cancer treatments.

The garden outside KU’s new School of Pharmacy building was planned by Kelly Kindscher, a senior scientist at the Kansas Biological Survey, and Barbara Timmermann, a KU distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry. Those two also were co-authors of the new tomatillo plant research.

Students and visitors to the pharmacy building are now greeted by signs that identify the garden and the plants inside.

“It’s right there past the food court,” Kindscher said. “They’re going to see it.”

The plants in the garden all have medicinal properties, including several echinacea plants, plants with herbs used in food and a separate bed dedi-

TOPEKA — An effort to remove the management of care for those with developmental disabilities from Gov. Sam Brownback’s Medicaid privatization plan was thwarted in the House on Thursday.

The dustup occurred when legislators considered House Bill 2789, which would have set up a legislative committee to oversee Brownback’s move to contract with private insurance companies to handle the state’s $2.9 bilLEGISLATURE lion Medicaid program. Under Brownback’s plan, the program, which covers health care for the poor, elderly and disabled, would be called KanCare.

State Rep. Jim Ward, DWichita, tried to amend the bill to remove those with developmental disabilities from KanCare and maintain their current network of assistance.

Ward was acting on behalf of parents and advocates of those with developmental disabilities who have pleaded with Brownback to leave them alone, saying that the needs of those with developmental disabilities

Driver cited in utility pole crash

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Douglas County Sheriff’s officers have cited a Berryton man whose vehicle hit a utility pole being transported on a semitrailer truck last Friday north of Lawrence.

Investigators also determined the semitrailer’s driver, a Holton man, properly used signs and flags for an oversized load and put a flashing light at the end of a 110-foot utility pole extending from the truck, according to the accident report released Thursday.

The crash occurred about 10 a.m. last Friday at the intersection of U.S. Highway 24-59 and U.S. Highway 24-40 — an intersection known as Tee Pee Junction.

A southbound Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by David Liby, 50, of Berryton, ran into the pole on the back of the truck, driven

by Shannon Hogan, 38.

Hogan was also southbound, and was turning left at the intersection so he could head east.

The pole pierced the windshield and exited the rear passenger window of the Tahoe, injuring Liby and his wife, Dawn Renee Liby, 48, also of Berryton.

Both were treated at area hospitals. Their two teenage daughters, who were in the back of the vehicle, were not injured.

Health officials warn about spike in rabies the room, he or she should call a doctor. She said bats have such tiny teeth that a person wouldn’t feel a bite.

“Bats do tend to be pretty high carriers of rabies, so anytime a person wakes up with a bat in their room we generally would recommend starting them on the vaccine, especially if it’s a child in a room,” she said.

“So, people need to keep bats out of their house.

They are nasty.”

Ens said human rabies are very rare but generally fatal. The period between infection and the first flulike symptoms is normally two to 12 weeks, but can be as long as two years.

“Don’t take any chances,” Ens said, advising people to stay away from wild and stray animals, to teach children to stay away from them, and to get pets vaccinated, especially if you live in the country.

For more information about rabies, contact the Lawrence health department clinic at 843-0721 or KDHE at 877-427-7317.

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

There has been an increase in rabid animals in Kansas this year, and health officials are warning residents to get their pets vaccinated and to stay away from wild animals.

So far this year, 13 animals have tested positive for rabies, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment: four skunks, two bats, two horses, two cows, one cat, one coyote and one raccoon. None of the domestic animals were vaccinated against rabies.

During the same period in 2011, there were four rabid animals. Since 2007, there have been an average of 68 cases per year.

Ingrid Garrison, KDHE state public health veterinarian, said animal rabies is common in Kansas, and skunks are the animals most likely to have the disease. Skunks can pass the virus to other animals, such as dogs, cats, cattle and horses.

Garrison said human rabies can be prevented by vaccinating pets, staying away from stray and wild animals, and getting prompt

treatment if exposed.

“Vaccinating animals against rabies not only protects our pets, but our families as well,” Garrison said.

The last case of rabies in Douglas County was reported in 2004 and it was a bat.

Kim Ens, director of clinical services for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said, “We haven’t had any animals that have shown positive but that doesn’t mean that they are not out there.”

She said humans can get rabies through a bite or scratch from an infected animal. If a person is bitten or scratched, he or she should contact a doctor and police. If possible, health professionals prefer to locate the animal and monitor it for 10 days to see whether it has rabies. If it does, then they will start a series of four shots to treat the infection in the person. If the animal can’t be located, then a doctor will discuss the case and deter— Health reporter Karrey Britt can be mine whether treatment reached at 832-7190. Britt’s health blog needs to be given.

ones, too. The plant is essentially a weed, Timmermann said, but it can be found all over the state and the Midwest.

“This was such a surprise to us,” she said.

Timmermann said the research on the plant is one of 31 projects that will be presented at Harvard University’s Research and Entrepreneurship Symposium in an effort to find potential investors for the research.

Now, the compounds found in the tomatillo plant are being tested on ani-

mals, and it will be years before researchers know if they will be effective in humans, Timmermann said.

She said KU has applied for patents on the compounds, however, and could stand to benefit financially if the research results in a successful drug.

Kindscher and Timmermann are working with a professor at KU Medical Center on the research.

since Topeka, attempted to pass the truck in the outside southbound lane, but because the vehicle made such a wide turn the Tahoe crashed into the utility pole.

Hogan was not injured.

“Due to the oversized load on the semitrailer, Mr. Liby could not pass safely and should not have attempted to do so,” Kinsley wrote.

Officers determined Liby’s inattention caused him to not consider the truck’s speed and movement. They ticketed him for following another vehicle too closely and un-

safe passing on the right.

Deputies discovered a flashing light that was attached to the pole before the crash at the scene.

Lawrence police Officer Laurence Corder, who inspected the semitrailer, determined Hogan properly marked the vehicle to carry an oversized load.

The accident report listed different ages for David and Dawn Liby from those the sheriff’s office had reported immediately after the crash.

facing eastbound,” Deputy Allen Kinsley wrote in his report.

Officers determined that Shannon — a driver for the Westar Energy contractor Koppers Inc. — was unable to use the left-turn lane due to the length of the truck and load, so he had no choice but to make the turn from the southbound inside lane of the highway.

don’t fit the managed care system provided by insurance companies.

But Brownback has rejected those pleas and promised that services will improve under KanCare and cost less.

A bipartisan group of legislators, however, said they were skeptical of those claims and supported Ward’s amendment.

“My constituents have been begging for this,” said state Rep. Ron Worley, R-Lenexa. “They are not simply concerned, they are scared to death.”

State Rep. Ed Trimmer, DWinfield, said the parents of children with developmental disabilities fear having to fight insurance companies over assistance for their sons and daughters.

Brownback administration officials were on the floor of the House busily talking with legislators.

State Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, and chair of the House Health and Human Services Committee, said if the care of developmentally disabled Kansans wasn’t turned over to KanCare, state funds may not be available and services would have to be cut. She was joined by state Reps. Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, who is chair of the House Appropriations Committee, and David Crum, R-Augusta, chair of the House Social Services Budget Committee.

Crum made the motion to send the entire bill back to committee, which caused Ward to leap up in protest. “Keep your big boy pants on,” he urged House members. “Today’s the day.” But the motion to send the bill back to committee was approved 69-54.

Only Republicans voted for the motion.

New report surfaces on Knology sale National media reports continue to speculate that cable television and Internet service provider Knology is close to selling its operations, including its cable system in Lawrence.

Dow Jones News Service has reported that Englewood, Colo.-based WideOpenWest is considering making a bid to buy Knology.

Knology, which is based just outside of Atlanta, is the largest cable operator in Lawrence. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Knology was seeking a buyer.

The new report by Dow Jones indicates that WideOpenWest — which also operates under the brand name WOW — is considered the most likely buyer for Knology, although a deal hasn’t yet been struck.

WOW has about 1.4 million cable subscribers in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

Rod Kutemeier, general manager for Knology’s Lawrence operations, referred questions to Knology’s corporate headquarters, but said the company’s policy is to not comment on rumors.

Knology purchased Sunflower Broadband from The World Company in October 2010. The World Company is the parent company of the Journal-World.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • A man received lacerations to his arm early Thursday after he was stabbed during an altercation with another man, but police determined the stabbing was possibly an act of self-defense.

Kim Murphree, a Lawrence police spokeswoman, said police did locate the man with the knife after officers were called about 3:20 a.m. to the 1700 block of West 24th Street. No one was arrested, Murphree said.

• A man reported that he was attacked early Thursday in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street. A man said that shortly after midnight he was attacked by unknown suspects who stole money from his front

TOPEKA — Legislation that would double speeding fines on Kansas Highway 10 in Douglas and Johnson counties is closer to approval.

On a 26-14 vote Thursday, the Senate approved a House-Senate conference committee report that included setting up two safety corridors and a bill that would allow school districts to decide when to replace school buses.

The package now goes back to the House, where if approved it would go to Gov. Sam Brownback for his consideration.

The safety corridors plan was prompted by a number of fatality accidents on K-10. The family of Cainan Shutt, a 5-yearold Eudora boy who was killed in an accident last year on K-10, testified in support of the bill.

Another proposed safety corridor is on U.S. Highway 54 in Wichita.

The money from all fines for speeding within the corridors would be used for signage, education and enforcement within the safety corridors.

Under the agreement between House and Senate conferees, the proposed law would expire July 1, 2015, so legislators could assess whether it is working.

“We have had examples of tragic accidents and thought we’d do a test and see how it works,” said Sen. Dwayne Umbarger, RThayer, who is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Struggling BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. said Thursday that it will cede most consumer markets after failing to compete with flashier touch-screen phones such as Apple’s iPhone and models that run Google’s Android software.

Instead, RIM said it will return to its roots and focus on business customers, many of whom prefer BlackBerrys for their security. RIM has had limited success trying to enter consumer markets in recent years, and RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said a turnaround required “substantial change.”

Report claims illegal overtime on Apple’s China assembly lines

By Peter Svensson Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Chinese workers who often spend more than 60 hours per week assembling iPhones and iPads will have their overtime curbed and their hourly wages raised after a labor auditor hired

by Apple Inc. inspected their factories.

The Washington-based Fair Labor Association says Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the Taiwanese company that runs the factories, is committing to reducing weekly work time to the legal Chinese maximum of 49 hours.

That limit is routinely ignored in factories throughout China. Auret van Heerden, the CEO of the FLA, said Hon Hai is the first company to commit to following the legal standard.

Apple’s and FLA’s own guidelines call for work weeks of 60 hours or less.

The FLA found that many workers at the Hon Hai factories want to work even more overtime, so they can make more money. Hon Hai, also known as Foxconn, told the FLA that it will raise hourly salaries to compensate workers for the reduced hours.

Heerden said that it’s common to find workers

in developing countries looking for more overtime, rather than less.

“They’re often single, they’re young, and there’s not much to do, so frankly they’d just rather work and save,” he said.

The FLA auditors visited three Foxconn complexes in February and March: Guanlan and Longhua near the coastal manufacturing hub of Shenzhen, and Chengdu in the inland province of Sichuan. They employ a total of 178,000 workers, with an average age of 23.

Average monthly salaries at the factories ranged from $360 to $455. Foxconn recently raised salaries by up to 25 percent in the second major salary hike in less than two years.

Foxconn employs 1.2 million workers in China to assemble products not just for Apple, but for Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and other pillars of the U.S. technology industry.

Foxconn’s move to lift wages is likely to have an impact across the industry.

Given Apple’s unusually high margins, it’s able to absorb higher manufacturing costs. But other electronics companies, particularly PC makers, have very slim margins, and may need to look elsewhere to have their products assembled.

Romney’s attack ad strategy: time to take on Obama soon?

By Beth Fouhy Associated Press

NEW YORK— Rick Santorum doesn’t care about the unemployment rate. Newt Gingrich has “more baggage than the airlines.” Both are Washington insiders who have bent their principles for money and influence.

So say Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his allies.

That advertising playbook has helped make Romney his party’s likely presidential nominee and could offer a preview of what awaits President Barack Obama in this summer’s general election campaign.

Voters in early primary states have seen plenty of this ad strategy already: a torrent of attacks on Romney’s opponents along with a few positive spots about the GOP front-runner’s biography and business experience. The strategy, devised

by Romney’s campaign and an allied independent group, has been focused and unforgiving, all but eviscerating the former Massachusetts governor’s rivals while portraying the candidate as an effective manager and devoted family man.

“The ads have been very effective,” says Jonathan Collegio, a spokesman for American Crossroads, a conservative-leaning super political action committee.

They’ve catapulted Romney “into a very strong position in the Republican primary without going so far that he’s alienated swaths of independent voters.”

The general election phase of the campaign will tell whether that’s true.

One thing that’s certain is that the Romney team’s approach has successfully shepherded him through a primary season in which voters have been far more conservative than the can-

didate was perceived to be.

Romney’s team now faces a far greater challenge: persuading a more centrist general electorate to bounce Obama, who polling shows has much higher favorability ratings than Romney himself.

The Romney campaign and Restore Our Future, a super PAC supporting his candidacy, together have poured about $50 million into television ads in the primary campaign so far, according to information provided to The Associated Press by ad buyers.

RILING, BURKHEAD & NITCHER

No other candidate or super PAC has come close to that level of spending.

Restore Our Future, which is run by several former Romney advisers, has spent more than $35 million on TV ads alone, almost of which have been negative attacks against Santorum and Gingrich.

ROF’s approach has been clear and unadorned: Cut straight to the heart of Romney’s rivals’ vulnerabilities, often using their own words against them. Make accusations about their records, citing news sources as support.

Justices to vote on health care case today

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — While the rest of us have to wait until June, the justices of the Supreme Court will know the likely outcome of the historic health care case by the time they go home this weekend.

After months of anticipation, thousands of pages of briefs and more than six hours of arguments, the justices will vote on the fate of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul in under an hour this morning. They will meet in a wood-paneled conference room on the court’s main floor. No one else will be present.

In the weeks after this meeting, individual votes can change. Even who wins can change, as the justices read each other’s draft opinions and dissents.

But today’s vote, which each justice probably will record and many will keep for posterity, will be followed soon after by the assignment of a single justice to write a majority opinion, or in a case this complex, perhaps two or more justices to tackle different issues. That’s where the hard work begins, with the clock ticking toward the end of the court’s work in early summer.

The late William Rehnquist, who was chief justice for nearly 19 years, has written that the court’s conference “is not a bull session in which off-the-cuff reactions are traded.” Instead, he said, votes are cast, one by one in order of seniority.

The conference also is not a debate, says Brian Fitzpatrick, a Vanderbilt University law professor who worked for Justice Antonin Scalia 10 years ago. There will be plenty of time for the back-andforth in dueling opinions that could follow.

“There’s not a whole lot of give and take at the conference. They say, ‘This is how I’m going to vote’ and give a few sentences,” Fitzpatrick said.

It will be the first time the justices gather as a group to discuss the case.

House OKs GOP deficit-cutting plan WASHINGTON — A divided House approved a $3.6 trillion Republican budget on Thursday recasting Medicare and imposing sweeping cuts in domestic programs, capping a battle that gave both political parties a campaignseason stage to spotlight their warring deficit-cutting priorities.

But the partisan divisions over the measure, which is dead on arrival in the Democratic-led Senate, also underscores how tough it will be for lawmakers to achieve the cooperation needed to contend with a tsunami of tax and spending decisions that will engulf Congress right after this fall’s elections.

The fiscal plan the House passed Thursday by a near party-line 228-191 vote would reshape and squeeze savings out of Medicare and Medicaid, the federal health insurance programs for the elderly and poor. It would force deep cuts in a wide range of spending, including rail projects, research and Pell Grants for low-income college students.

It would block President Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes on couples earning above $250,000 a year.

Instead, it would collapse the current six income tax rates into just two, with a top rate of 25 percent — well below the current 35 percent ceiling — while erasing tax deductions and other breaks that the GOP plan failed to specify.

“

If you called it fineAssociated Press ly textured lean beef, SIOUX CITY, NEB. would we be here?”

SOUTH — Governors of three states got up close with “pink slime” Thursday, touching and examining treated beef at a plant and eating hamburgers made with it in a bid to persuade grossed-out consumers and grocery stores the product is safe to consume.

The three governors and two lieutenant governors spent about a half hour learning about the process of creating finely-textured lean beef in a tour of the main plant that makes the product, then blasted the media for scaring consumers with a moniker coined by critics.

“If you called it finely textured lean beef, would we be here?” asked Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback.

Several other leaders echoed his comments as they tried to smooth over consumer concerns about the product.

Beef Products, the main producer of the cheap lean beef made from fatty bits of meat left over from other cuts, has drawn scrutiny over concerns about the ammonium hydroxide it treats meat with to change the beef’s acidity and kill bacteria. The company suspended operations at plants in Texas, Kansas and Iowa this week, affecting 650 jobs, but defends its product as safe.

The politicians who toured the plant — Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Brownback, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy and South Dakota Lt. Gov. Matt Michels — all agree with the industry view that the beef has been unfairly maligned and mislabeled and issued a joint statement earlier saying the product is safe.

“Why are we here today defending a company that has a rather sterling record dealing with making a food product that is very much needed in this country in a very safe manner? Why are we here today?” Perry said.

The officials spent about 20 minutes going

Deal Ends 4/1

— Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback over the production process in a separate room at the plant with Craig Letch, the company’s director of quality assurance, viewing and handling more than a dozen slabs of raw meat and the processed, finished product laid out on cutting boards on a round wooden table.

The officials asked about the added ammonia, which Letch said is used as an extra safety precaution against E. coli.

“What we’re doing with ammonium hydroxide is directly targeting those specific microorganisms that could affect human health. It is nothing more than something to ensure consumer safety,” Letch said as the politicians bent over the raw cuts of beef.

The officials donned hard hats, hair nets and goggles for a brief walking tour through the facility.

Workers manned conveyor belts of meat cuts that ran from one side of the room to the other in the chilled room; the ammonium hydroxide treatment process was not visible; plant officials say that’s because it binds with moisture in the meat in an aerated process.

Afterward, Perry, Branstad and others ate burgers made from the plant’s meat at a news conference.

“It’s lean. It’s good. It’s nutritious,” Branstad said as he polished off a patty, sans bun.

Larry Smith, with the Institute for Crisis Management public relations firm, said he’s not sure the makers of the product — including Cargill and BPI — will be able to overcome the public stigma against their product at this point.

“I can’t think of a single solitary message that a manufacturer could use that would resonate with anybody right now,” Smith said.

Video raises doubts about gunman’s story ———

Obvious injuries not visible on shooter of Trayvon Martin in police recording

By Curt Anderson Associated Press

MIAMI — Newly released police video of a handcuffed George Zimmerman may be important for what it doesn’t show: No obvious cuts, scrapes, blood or bandages. No clearly broken nose. No plainly visible evidence of a life-and-death struggle with Trayvon Martin.

As the furor over race and self-defense raged on in Florida and around the U.S. on Thursday, Martin’s family and supporters seized on the footage to dispute Zimmerman’s claim that he shot and killed the unarmed black teenager after the young man attacked him.

While cautioning that the video is grainy and far from conclusive, some legal experts agreed it does raise questions about Zimmerman’s story. The video was made about a half-hour after the shooting Feb. 26.

“It could be very significant,” said Daniel Lurvey, a former Miami-Dade County homicide prosecutor. “If I were the prosecutor, it would certainly be Exhibit A that he did not suffer any major injury as a result of a confrontation with Trayvon Martin.”

Zimmerman attorney Craig Sonner said on NBC’s “Today” show that the footage appears to support his client’s story in some respects.

“It’s a very grainy video. ... However, if you watch, you’ll see one of the of-

Bluegrass pioneer Earl Scruggs dies at age 88 NASHVILLE, TENN. — It may be impossible to overstate the importance of bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs to American music.

A pioneering banjo player who helped create modern country music, his sound is instantly recognizable and

as intrinsically wrapped in the tapestry of the genre as Johnny Cash’s baritone or Hank Williams’ heartbreak.

Scruggs died Wednesday morning at age 88 of natural causes. The legacy he helped build with bandleader Bill Monroe,

guitarist Lester Flatt and the rest of the Blue Grass Boys was evident all around Nashville, where he died in an area hospital. His stringbending, mind-blowing way of picking helped transform a regional sound into a national passion.

“It’s not just bluegrass, it’s American music,” bluegrass fan turned country star Dierks Bentley said. “There’s 17- or 18-year-old kids turning on today’s country music and hearing that banjo and they have no idea where that came from.”

ficers, as he’s walking in, looking at something on the back of his head,” Sonner said. “Clearly the report shows he was cleaned up before he was taken in the squad car.”

Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in the town of Sanford, told police he shot the 17-yearold Martin after the young man punched him in the nose, knocked him down and repeatedly slammed his head against a sidewalk.

The Sanford Police Department video begins at 7:52 p.m., about 35 minutes after the shooting, as Zimmerman arrives at the station. It shows Zimmerman’s head and face as he gets out of a police car. There is no sound on the video.

There is no obvious wound on his head or blood on his clothing, and there are no indications of a broken nose — which Zimmerman’s lawyer has insisted he suffered. He walks briskly, smoothly and unassisted.

“The explanation he is relying on is that there was a physical altercation,” said Kendall Coffey, former U.S. attorney in Miami.

“The intensity of the physical conflict is critical to his self-defense claim.”

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Martin family, said the footage directly contradicts Zimmerman’s story: “There are no marks on his face.

There is no blood on his face. It’s not like he’s dazed or he has been injured.”

BRIEFLY 1 in 88 kids thought to have autism

Sunni rulers mostly shun Arab summit

ATLANTA — One child out of 88 in the U.S. is believed to have autism or a related disorder, an increase in the rate attributed largely to wider screening.

Advocacy groups seized on the new number as further evidence that autism research and services should get more attention.

“Autism is now officially becoming an epidemic in the United States,” said Mark Roithmayr, president of Autism Speaks, at a news conference where the new figures were released Thursday.

The previous estimate was 1 in 110. The new figure is from the latest in a series of studies that have steadily raised the government’s autism estimate. This new number means autism is nearly twice as common as officials said it was only five years ago, and likely affects roughly 1 million U.S. children and teens.

Health officials attribute the increase largely to better recognition of cases, through wider screening and better diagnosis. But the search for the cause of autism is really only beginning, and officials acknowledge that other factors may be helping to drive up the numbers.

BAGHDAD — Sunni Muslim rulers largely shunned an Arab League summit hosted

by Shiite-led Iraq on Thursday, illustrating how powerfully the sectarian split and the rivalry with Iran define Middle Eastern politics in the era of the Arab Spring.

The crisis in Syria is the epicenter of those divisions.

The one-day summit closed with a joint call on Syrian President Bashar Assad to stop his bloody crackdown on an uprising seeking his ouster. But the final statement barely papered over the differences among the Arab nations over how to deal with the longest-running regional revolt.

“What disturbs the breeze of our Arab Spring and fills our hearts with sadness is the scenes of slaughter and torture committed by the Syrian regime against our brothers and sisters in Syria,” said Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, leader of Libya’s National Transitional Council.

In a snub to Iraq, only 10 heads of state from the Arab League’s 22 members attended, with the rest sending lower-level officials. Especially notable were the absences of the rulers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and most other Gulf countries, as well Morocco and Jordan.

Final Four fever The surprising Jayhawk men’s basketball team apparently hasn’t hit its ceiling yet.

B

asketball fever is a recurring disease in Lawrence. This year both the Kansas University men’s and women’s basketball teams made runs in their respective NCAA post-season tournaments that surprised many observers.

After losing a couple of key players earlier in the season, the KU women made it to the NCAA’s Sweet 16 before bowing to a traditional powerhouse, the University of Tennessee. Many loyal Jayhawk fans would have been satisfied, even happy, to see the men’s team make a similar run. Having lost four of their starting five players from last year to graduation or the National Basketball Association, the men’s team figured to face a challenging year. That challenge was made even greater when several freshmen were held out because of academic questions.

Coach Bill Self says this year’s team has played closer to its “ceiling” than most teams he’s coached. This year’s Jayhawks have worked hard and worked together to produce a surprising result. The element of surprise makes this year’s trip to the Final Four a little sweeter for fans — and probably the team members, although they insist they believed all along that their season could end this way.

Now, we’re all hoping the end is still a couple of games away. Rock Chalk and the best of luck to the Jayhawks this weekend in New Orleans.

Diplomatic solution best in Syria WASHINGTON — Maybe it’s time for Syrian revolutionaries to take “yes” for an answer from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and back a U.N.sponsored “managed transition” of power there, rather than rolling on toward a civil war that will bring more death and destruction for the region.

Syria announced Tuesday that it was ready to accept a peace plan proposed by U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan. The Syrian announcement in Beijing followed endorsement of the plan by China and Russia.

The proposal has many weaknesses, but it could open the way toward a “soft landing” in Syria that would remove Assad without shattering the stability of the country.

Yes, I recognize that moderate diplomatic solutions like these are for wimps. The gungho gang has been advocating supplying arms to the Syrian opposition, setting up no-fly zones and other versions of a military solution. Morally, it’s hard to dispute the justice of the opposition’s cause; the problem is that these military solutions will get a lot more innocent civilians killed, and destroy the delicate balance of the Syrian state.

We should learn from recent history in the Middle East and seek a non-military solution in Syria — even with the inevitable fuzziness and need for compromise with unpleasant people. A

“

The alternative to a diplomatic soft landing is a war that shatters the ethnic mosaic in Syria.”

Syria peace deal will also give a starring role to Russia and China, two countries that don’t deserve the good press. That’s OK with me: Vladimir Putin gets a ticker-tape parade if he can help broker a relatively peaceful departure for Assad.

The case for this cautious, managed transition can be summarized with a four-letter word: Iraq.

Looking back at the Iraq War, one of the most damaging mistakes was that after toppling Saddam Hussein, the U.S. went on to destroy Iraq’s state structure and its army. Without these institutions, the country had no stability and Iraqis retreated for self-protection to the most basic loyalties of sect and tribe.

In this sense, the U.S. invasion unintentionally and tragically sent Iraq hurtling backward in

time. Iraq gained a measure of “democracy,” but lost social cohesion.

The U.S. shouldn’t make the same mistake in Syria, no matter how appealing the opposition’s pleas for weapons.

We’ve seen this movie before.

We know that it leads to a kind of lawlessness that’s very hard to reverse. And we know, too, that for all the perversions of Assad and his Baathist goons, the Syrian state and army are national institutions that transcend the ruling family, his Alawite sect or the corrupt Baathists who hijacked the nation in the 1960s.

I credit the Obama administration for resisting the growing chorus of calls to arm the Syrian rebels — and for continuing to seek Moscow’s help even after the Russians’ foot-dragging that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (imprudently but accurately) described last month as “despicable.”

It’s a moment for realpolitik: The West needs Russia’s help in removing Assad without a civil war, and Russia needs to broker a transition to bolster its future influence in the Arab world. That’s the pragmatic logic that’s driving Annan’s peace effort.

Political change (even the cautious, managed-transition version I’m urging) won’t come to Syria without some bloodshed. Over the past year, it has

Coaching move t’s interesting to wonder what prompted Kansas State basketball coach Frank Martin to walk away from his successful program in Manhattan to take over an underperforming program in South Carolina.

There are reports of a rift between Martin and K-State’s athletic director, John Currie, but KSU, as expected, denies that differences between the AD and the coach triggered Martin’s departure.

Maybe this is a case of splitting hairs because it seems reasonable that if there were “differences,” it would be a good reason for Martin to look elsewhere.

Also, he received a significant bump in his paycheck.

It is unfortunate Martin is leaving because he did a good job for K-State. He brought fire, excitement, enthusiasm and sustained success to what once was a powerful program. For the good of the Big 12, it is hoped Kansas State officials will attract a top-flight, high-class coach into Bramlage Coliseum.

One more thought. Could it be Martin realized as long as Bill Self remains as coach of the KU Jayhawks, he and KState would remain the No. 2 program in the state? And with Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall announcing he intends to remain as the Shockers’ coach he and the KSU program could slip to No. 3.

Martin is a competitor, and maybe his move to South Carolina offers him an opportunity to make the Gamecocks No. 1 in the state.

Regardless, he will be missed by many in Kansas.

been one-sided, with perhaps 10,000 opposition fighters and civilians slaughtered by Assad’s forces, but there’s bound to be some settling of scores. Friends of Syria should start thinking about ways to prevent reprisals against the Alawite and Christian communities that have been loyal to the regime, once Assad is on a plane for Doha or Moscow.

The alternative to a diplomatic soft landing is a war that shatters the ethnic mosaic in Syria. It’s easy to imagine Sunni militias gaining control of central cities such as Homs, Hama and Idlib, while Alawites retreat to parts of Damascus and Latakia province in the north. Assad might still claim to be president in this scenario, but he would be little more than a warlord (albeit one with access to chemical weapons). It’s a grim scenario in which Western air power would have limited effect.

Patrick Seale, who probably knows Syria better than any other Western writer, captured in his biography of Assad’s father the brutal, fightto-the-death code that led to the massacre in Hama 30 years ago: “Fear, loathing and a river of spilt blood ruled out any thought of a truce.” You can only pray that the same no-compromise logic doesn’t prevail today, on either side.

Humor won’t carry Perry in ‘16 Rick Perry’s appearance as the Republican speaker at Washington’s annual Gridiron dinner gave the Texas governor an opportunity to start rehabilitating his national image, and he made the most of it with a hilarious speech poking fun at himself and his fellow GOP candidates.

“The weakest Republican field in history — and they kicked my butt,” he said. Or this one on Mitt Romney: “I like Mitt Romney as much as one really good-looking man can like a really good-looking man and not break Texas law.”

Afterward, the press and political notices were glowing. “Perry steals the show at the Gridiron dinner,” according to the Washington Post headline. “I think he did himself some good tonight,” former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said afterward.

But Perry can get only so far by displaying the naturally friendly personality and genuine sense of humor that often did not come through in his 2012 campaign (I was one of the Gridiron officers who helped pick Perry for this slot, and word was that his speech benefited from the help of noted GOP wordsmith Landon Parvin.).

What really sunk Perry’s presidential bid was his lack of substantive knowledge about national and international issues, producing a series of factual gaffes along the campaign trail and a series of uncertain or incorrect responses in televised debates, climaxed by his

“

What really sunk Perry’s presidential bid was his lack of substantive knowledge about national and international issues …”

infamous inability to recall the Cabinet departments he wished to scrap.

If Perry is serious about mounting a 2016 presidential bid — he noted Saturday that he has only “suspended” his 2012 campaign, not ended it — he’ll need to spend considerable time on the kind of study with knowledgeable experts that prepared George W. Bush for his 2000 presidential bid.

Once Perry has spent some time learning about the complex issues with which presidential candidates have to cope, he’d be wise to make appearances in venues such as the Sunday news shows that would enable him to show that he’s changing.

Other factors also will help to determine if Perry can find more success in a second presidential bid than the first time.

For one thing, a Republican presidential victory this No-

vember would probably mean no GOP contest in 2016.

But if President Barack Obama is re-elected, the next GOP race will probably start quickly. Perry would need to win re-election in 2014 and also spend time helping GOP candidates, sticking mainly to set speeches until he and his advisers felt comfortable about his substantive knowledge.

Perhaps his biggest potential problem is that a wide open 2016 Republican race would almost certainly attract a stronger GOP field than sought the presidency this year. It could include either former Gov. Jeb Bush or Sen. Marc Rubio from Florida; some Republican governors from major industrial states such as New Jersey’s Chris Christie (assuming they survive re-election bids); some candidates from Congress such as Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin or Sens. John Thune of South Dakota and Rand Paul of Kentucky; and other 2012 also-rans, such as former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.

Party leaders and members might well look for someone new, rather than a 2012 retread.

Still, if Perry is governor of Texas as the 2016 race nears, he’ll be a major figure in the party with ability to raise the millions needed to run. He remains attractive as a person, as he showed at Gridiron. But he’ll have to show that he has a command of national and international issues that was noticeably lacking in 2012.

Faculty turnover at Kansas University this year was likely YEARS not to be as great AGO as had been IN 1972 feared, according to Francis Heller, vice chancellor for academic affairs. The assessment of probable attrition took into account such factors as a 5 percent increase in money for faculty salaries that had been approved by the state Legislature as well as general quality of life in Lawrence and at KU. Chancellor Laurence Chalmers said that the recent budget recommendations represented “a return to the more positive tradition in this state.”

A banner day KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

T-Rob must extend his ‘D’ NEW ORLEANS — In case you haven’t noticed by now, I can be a little dense sometimes. For example, it took me 38 games to figure out what “a tough match-up for KU” means. It’s code speak for either Thomas Robinson is going to have to show he can defend the perimeter, or Jeff Withey will head to the bench for long stretches.

The latter is not an option in Kansas University’s national semifinal game Saturday against Ohio State because Withey will be needed to guard All-American Buckeyes center Jared Sullinger.

Robinson must make life difficult for 6-foot-7, 225-pound sophomore forward Deshaun Thomas, an inside-outside scoring threat averaging 21.8 points per game in the four NCAA Tournament games.

KU made it this far by coach Bill Self’s figuring out a way to mask Robinson’s defensive limitations, whether it was sending Withey to the bench or throwing in a junk defense at just the right time.

But Kansas can’t extend the season to Monday without Robinson, the team’s best offensive force and the nation’s best rebounder, extending the range of his defense the way he has his jump shot.

It might sound a little crass, a little greedy to ask more of a first-team AllAmerican, but the Final Four is all about great athletes playing at their best. Robinson has come so far in three years at KU, but the one thing he hasn’t shown yet is that he can defend a power forward who has three-point accuracy in his arsenal.

Robinson’s inability to chase Missouri’s Kim English, coupled with Withey’s not taking advantage of his superior length at the offensive end, led Self to bench Withey and go with a small lineup.

Robinson opened the Purdue game on Robbie Hummel. Three blinks later, the Boilermakers were up 8-0, and Self shuffled the deck.

“When you’ve got a guy who’s averaging 22 a game for your team, going into the season you would think that’s for sure Jared Sullinger, and it’s not. It’s the guy who opens things up for Jared Sullinger,” Self said of Thomas. “And that’s what makes me, you know, as worried as anything, is how do you give one guy all

NEW ORLEANS — Hall of Fame basketball coach Larry Brown, who tutored Danny Manning for four years at Kansas University, beamed with pride Thursday when his prize pupil accepted the head-coaching position at Tulsa University.

“I’m thrilled to death,” said Brown, who as part of KU’s traveling party at the Final Four watched the Jayhawks practice Thursday at the Superdome. “When they told me he got the job, it’s like being a proud father. I wish Ed were here.”

Danny’s dad, the late Ed Manning, served as an assis-

tant coach under Brown at KU during the Brown/Manning era, which culminated in a national title in 1988.

“I never realized (Danny Manning) was going to be a coach until his last year in Detroit (in 2003, final year of a 15-year NBA playing career),” Brown said. “I remember all the people telling me how much he helped the young players and how involved he was. He was a smart player before I got him, but working for Bill (Self), seeing the progress of all these young kids and the way Danny conducts himself ... Tulsa hit a home run.”

Manning, 45, has hired Baker University head coach/ former KU player and direc-

tor of basketball operations Brett Ballard as an assistant.

A source indicated Manning may also be targeting Justin Bauman, former KU manager now an assistant at University of San Francisco.

“I’m excited and looking forward to being the head basketball coach at the University of Tulsa,” Manning said. “I want to thank President (Steadman) Upham, Ross (Parmley, AD) and the search committee for allowing me this tremendous opportunity to coach at a university with a fine basketball tradition. I’d also like to thank coach Self for giv- DANNY MANNING, WHO WAS ing me the chance to be a RECENTLY NAMED head coach at Tulsa University, walks with the Please see KANSAS, page 4B team after practice.

Sullinger-Robinson only part of it

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

OHIO STATE FORWARD JARED SULLINGER TALKS about his regret over not playing the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse when Please see KEEGAN, page 5B the teams met earlier this season.

NEW ORLEANS — When former Ohio State point guard James “Scoonie” Penn helped lead the Buckeyes to the 1999 Final Four, he did so without the luxury of playing with a dominant big man.

Although more than a decade has gone by since that Final Four, Penn could not help himself when asked how much he would have benefited from playing with a center like current Buckeyes All-American Jared Sullinger.

“I would’ve loved it,” Penn said Thursday at the Superdome, site of this year’s Final Four. “Would’ve loved it. It opens up so much for the perimeter. It’s awesome.

What does every point guard always say? He would love to play with a great big guy. He sets me a solid screen, and it’s such an advantage. I can pull up, I can go score, I can drop it off. It’s an advantage.”

Penn, who recently wrapped up a professional playing career in Europe and spent the summer scrimmaging with the Buckeyes, is back in Columbus, Ohio, try-

ing to break into television.

Although he spent much of Thursday on the other side of the camera, he was happy to share his thoughts about the marquee match-up between Sullinger and Kansas University All-American Thomas Robinson. The way Penn sees it, the head-to-head match-up between Sullinger and Kansas center Jeff Withey might be more important to the outcome of Saturday’s 7:49 p.m. semifinal. If that’s the case, it could spell good news for the Jayhawks, according to Penn.

Three Tar Heels declare for draft The Associated Press

North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underclassmen decided they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put off their goal of playing in the NBA any longer.

The school said Thursday that Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Kendall Marshall will enter the draft, ending a twoyear run in which the Tar Heels made deep NCAA Tournament runs only to fall a game short of the Final Four each time.

The school didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t state whether the three planned to hire an agent in its release announcing the departures, though it appears theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the draft to stay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great day for three youngsters who are taking another step toward their ultimate goal of playing professional basketball,â&#x20AC;? coach Roy Williams

Angels rally past Royals TEMPE, ARIZ. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Albert Pujols had four hits and three RBIs as the Los Angeles Angels rallied from an early seven-run deficit to defeat the Kansas City Royals, 11-8, in a spring training match-up Thursday.

Things got testy in the second inning when Kendrys Morales, Mark Trumbo and Hank Conger hit back-to-back-toback homers off Royals starter Everett Teaford, who had been staked to a 7-0 lead. Teaford then hit Peter Bourjos with the first pitch, and the two appeared to yell at each other as Bourjos went to first base.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia glared in the direction of Royals manager Ned Yost.

A few pitches later, Scioscia walked out and got into an argument with plate umpire Dana Demuth.

It seemed to rally the Angels, who scored five times in the inning and added four more in the fourth to take a 9-7 lead they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relinquish.

Athletics earn split in Japan TOKYO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes hit his first major league home run to power the Athletics to a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday that earned Oakland a split in the two-game seasonopening series at Tokyo Dome.

Cespedes connected for a two-run homer off Seattle reliever Shawn Kelley (0-1) to give Oakland a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh. Josh Reddick followed with a solo shot off George Sherrill to give the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two-run cushion.

said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a very small stage, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad day for me because I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to coach them again. All Tar Heel fans will miss them greatly, as well.â&#x20AC;?

Henson was a freshman during Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worst season as a head coach in 2010. Barnes arrived a year later as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 recruit, though it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Marshall took over at point guard midway through that season that the Tar Heels took off.

UNC lost to Kentucky in a regional final that year, but Barnes, Henson and rising senior Tyler Zeller put off entering the draft for another shot at a championship despite being likely first-round picks.

The Tar Heels (32-6) were the preseason No. 1 and won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season championship for a

second straight year, but they fell in the NCAA regional final again amid a dizzying run of injuries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including wrist injuries to both Henson and Marshall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have been able to bring our fans a national championship, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to be,â&#x20AC;? Henson said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud of what we accomplished, especially the last two years.â&#x20AC;?

Both Barnes and Henson said in their statements they planned to continue working to complete their undergraduate degrees.

Barnes, a 6-foot-8 sophomore, averaged about 17 points to lead the team. Henson, a 6-11 junior, averaged about 14 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks, and was a two-time ACC defensive player of the year. Both were All-ACC first-team picks.

Marshall, a 6-4 sophomore, won the Cousy Award presented to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top college point guard earlier Thursday and set the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single-season assists record. Throw in the graduating Zeller, a 7-footer who was ACC player of the year, and those four starters accounted for 66 percent of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring and 59 percent of its rebounding.

While Barnes and Henson have been considered bigger NBA prospects, Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure could be the biggest loss considering how he flawlessly ran Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fast-paced offense. The pass-first point guard also upped his scoring late in the year and reached double-figures in his last six games to improve his draft prospects.

SPORTS ON TV

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young guards Chasson Randle and Aaron Bright each scored 15 points, and the Cardinal routed Minnesota, 7551, to win the NIT title Thursday night.

Stanford forced two turnovers to open the second half to take a 10-point lead and stayed up by double figures the rest of the way. The Golden Gophers turned it over 22 times on the night.

The third-seeded Cardinal (26-11) won their second NIT title, the first coming in 1991.

The final minutes turned into a celebration of three-pointers and fast-break layups for Stanford, players on the bench jumping up to cheer on nearly every possession.

Both teams got off to a hot start, but then the Cardinal turned up the defensive pressure, and when the Golden Gophers (23-15) got good looks, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them. Sixth-seeded Minnesota missed 16 of its last 19 shots in the first half.

Mulkey has Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palsy WACO, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baylor womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coach Kim Mulkey has been diagnosed with Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palsy, a form of facial paralysis she says wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change her approach going into the NCAA Final Four.

Mulkey said Thursday that her tongue started feeling strange at the NCAA regional last weekend. Before practice Wednesday, she noticed only the left side of her mouth was working when she smiled, her right eye was drooping and she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear properly out of her right ear.

Mulkey went to a doctor rather than going to practice Wednesday.

Trainer Alex Olson says Mulkey is being treated with anti-viral medication and oral steroids to reduce the inflammation of the facial nerve that causes the problem.

Firebirds drop 4-1 baseball decision KU’s Vollmer 7th in heptathlon

By Benton Smith

basmith@ljworld.com

In search of anything to get the season going in its direction, victories keep evading Free State High’s baseball team.

With its latest loss coming Thursday at home, 4-1, to Olathe East, FSHS dropped to 0-5.

The disappointing start hasn’t sucked the life out of the players, though.

Sophomore third baseman Cameron Pope said the Firebirds are determined to stay positive despite the slump, and he even pointed to another team from Lawrence that could provide some inspiration.

“The Jayhawks started off bad, and look where they’re at right now,” Pope said of Kansas University’s men’s basketball team, playing in the Final Four this weekend. “We hope to do the same thing they’re doing.”

While “bad” in KU basketball terms apparently means beginning the season 3-2, with losses to Kentucky and Duke, Free State senior first baseman Montana Samuels said he and his teammates are focusing on the good things they’re doing each time they’re competing on the diamond.

“I think we’re making strides in the right direction,” Samuels said following the loss to O-East.

“It’s always one or two big innings early in the game that we need to take care of, and once we eliminate that, I think we’re getting a lot closer.”

The two innings that proved to be the difference for the Hawks (21) were the second and third, against FSHS starting pitcher JD Prochaska.

OEHS turned three hits and a hit batter into a pair of runs in the top of the second and plated two more the next inning with a two-run home run to left field by East senior Austin Sanders, who also pitched a complete game, allowing only five Free State hits.

Though the wind was blowing toward left field all evening, Samuels said Sanders’ opposite-field shot didn’t need any assistance.

“He got a pretty good piece of it, regardless,” the FSHS senior said. “That home run was legit. I won’t take anything away from him on that one.”

At that point, down 4-0, the Firebirds hadn’t even produced a hit. A double to the left-field gap from sophomore Ryan Cantrell and a base hit by sophomore Joe Dineen changed that in the bottom of the third, but it wasn’t until two innings later that Free State finally crossed the plate.

Junior catcher Lee McMahon singled to lead off the bottom of the fifth, and courtesy runner Tristan Garber scored on a single to center by Pope, who went 2-for-3.

Firebirds coach Mike Hill said his team’s biggest challenge right now is piecing together seven innings of sound baseball.

“There’s facets of our

game that are showing signs of improvement,” Hill said, pointing to his team’s defense against OEast.

Following the Hawks’ hot start, the Firebirds infield made one error — in the fifth inning, as it tried to turn a double play — but it didn’t cost FSHS a run.

Said Pope: “We’ve had some one- or zero-run innings toward the end of games, and that’s been good. It’s just the beginning of the game where we give up the big ones.”

Prochaska, who took the loss, and relievers Jacob Caldwell and Sam Hearnen held O-East scoreless the final four innings. Hearnen struck out two while facing just five batters.

Hill has been impressed with how the team hasn’t abandoned hope, in spite of its struggles to get in the win column.

“It’s not easy to go to the park and get beat, especially when you’re in a program that’s so used to winning,” the 15th-year FSHS coach said. “It’s a little shock to the culture, so to speak.”

The Firebirds’ next chance to get on track comes at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, with a home game against Shawnee Mission South.

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Kansas University’s Lindsay Vollmer recorded personal-bests in two events and led the javelin portion of the heptathlon as the Jayhawks kicked off the Texas Relays on Wednesday.

The two-day multisport event concluded Thursday, with Vollmer —a freshman — placing seventh overall with a career-high 5,323 points, the second-highest point total in KU history.

KU’s Rebecca Neville placed 14th overall with a score of 5,072.

Kansas’ Alex Bishop cleared 17 feet, 41⁄2 inches to earn a first-place tie with LSU’s Thomas Reinecke in the pole vault.

That vault moved Bishop into the top 10 in the NCAA rankings.

NEW ORLEANS — Kansas University guard Elijah Johnson has felt like royalty since Sunday, the day the Jayhawks defeated North Carolina in St. Louis and punched their ticket to the Final Four.

“I’ve never felt like I had a red carpet laid out for me in my life. The experience is fun,” Johnson, KU’s 6-foot-4 junior out of Las Vegas, said Thursday at a news conference in the Superdome. “I’m enjoying it, but we are down here to play ball.”

KU’s five starters each held court in their own interview room, where they fielded a barrage of questions for 20 minutes. The Jayhawks practiced for an hour and a half after finishing with the media.

Johnson was asked about his clutch threepointer that boosted a narrow one-point lead to four during crunch time against the Tar Heels.

“I think it was a shot everyone told me was a good shot. I didn’t shoot the shot thinking I could be a hero,” said Johnson.

His three upped a 68-67 lead to 71-67 with 3:07 left in KU’s 80-67 victory in St. Louis.

Our fan base, coaches and teammates saw something I couldn’t see. It was a big shot to them. They wanted to tell me how big they thought it was. I still don’t see it as a big shot because it’s something I can do, make that shot.”

Remember, he also stroked a key three in erasing a 56-54 deficit with 3:04 left in a 63-60 secondround win over Purdue.

“I just want to do my part. I want to see how far we can go,” Johnson said.

“In a week, this team will never be together again.

“I look forward to meeting with our TU players, the ardent Golden Hurricane fans, the campus and Tulsa community and the media,” added Manning, who will be introduced next week.

“Right now my focus is on Kansas and its participation in the Final Four. We’ve worked extremely hard to get to this point and we want to keep it going for another few days.”

KU coach Self said he’s thrilled for Manning, who will turn 46 in May. “Danny Manning is one of the most accomplished, humble people you’ll ever meet. He’s done more in his life through the athletic world than just about anybody, but you would never know it in visiting with him, as he never, ever talks about himself,” Self said. “His focus on deciding to be a basketball coach was to try to share some of his knowledge and make others better.

He’s certainly done that at a very high level with us here at Kansas.

“He’s been around basketball his whole life, played for so many coaches, been able to steal from everybody and has developed a vast knowledge that will certainly play a huge role in his success

Junior guard Elijah Johnson added: “I’m happy they’ve been able to take care of their families and have a better situation. Jayhawk Nation will always love them. It shows how winning benefits everybody. I never thought I’d be able to help somebody get a job. For us (players) to be part of the reason makes me feel good and want to win even more.”

The Tulsa World reported that Manning agreed to a four-year, $2.5 million deal.

Thomas Robinson on his experience in New Orleans: “It’s a little overwhelming. You get here, and there is a band, and people hand out beads. It’s exciting to be here. You have to cherish this moment. At the same time, you can’t lose focus. We have been taking pictures all day.”

Taylor on reaching the Final Four: “It has been a long season. I am so excited to be here. I wish we could put aside all this stuff and go play, since that is what I want to do.

Getting here yesterday was kind of what opened my eyes. This is really the Final Four. Of all the college teams that play basketball, there are only four left, and we are one of them.”

Johnson on senior guard Tyshawn Taylor: “Tyshawn needs to be let off the leash. You can’t try to tame Tyshawn. You’ve got to let him have fun, and that’s when you get the best from Ty. I think that Ty’s having the most fun since he’s had since he’s been at Kansas right now, and I think it’s showing in his game. Just let him be free and do what’s on his O mind, and he’ll come out Travis Releford on the with something positive.

as a head coach. Although 46 years old, he’s well beyond those in basketball years as far as experience.

Tulsa has not only hired a great person and a great ambassador, but also a man that will lead Tulsa to great heights athletically and be competing for championships in a very short amount of time,” added Self, Tulsa’s head coach from 1997-2000.

Self said the imminent departures of Manning and director of basketball operations Barry Hinson — who took the Southern Illinois head coaching job Wednesday — would not serve as a distraction heading into Saturday’s Final Four semifinal versus Ohio State (7:49 p.m., Superdome).

“When a team is successful,” Self said, “you hope your assistants have an opportunity to benefit. We were fortunate to have two guys get jobs yesterday. I don’t know how often that happens. A

big deal for me was, I told those respective schools, ‘I’m fine with this, but let’s do it now. I don’t want the rumors and everybody being interviewed and have to lie and say you haven’t taken a job. Let’s get it out of the way now and handle questions tomorrow.’

“I told our players last night Barry got the job, and Danny told them he more than likely was going to get the job. Our players are fine. They are happy for our guys. This isn’t a distraction for our guys at all. Trust me, Danny and Barry are not working on Tulsa or Southern Illinois now.”

Junior center Jeff Withey said: “It’s not a distraction by any means. We’re happy for both of them.

Danny’s been an awesome coach and great mentor.

It’s sad to see him go, but I’m happy for him. He deserves it. I still have a couple more days to milk as much knowledge as I can from him.”

Brett Ballard on leaving Baker for Tulsa after two years: “I thoroughly enjoyed my time coaching the Baker University men’s basketball team.

I was fortunate to work with a group of dedicated players, committed to the classroom and basketball court. I will always be grateful for President Pat Long and athletic director Theresa Yetmar having the confidence to give me my first head coaching opportunity in college basketball. The support I received from the administration, alumni and the community was amazing.

Seeing all the orange at the national tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City is something I will never forget.

Baker University is an amazing place and I am very humbled to have been their head coach.”

Noted BU President Pat Long: “Brett did exactly what we asked of him — to bring a new level of play and excitement to our basketball program.

He did just that and more.”

son,” Sullinger said. “But at the end of the day, it’s The Ohio State University against Kansas.”

And it’s happening for the second time this season. The Jayhawks topped the Sullinger-less Buckeyes, 78-67, at Allen Fieldhouse back in December.

Asked if he regretted missing that one, Sullinger complimented KU’s home arena.

“I was very disappointed,” he said. “It was hurtful because that’s one of the best places to play. It was loud. I left the floor with a headache, and I didn’t even play.”

Sullinger said he did everything he could to play that day. But back spasms that left him unable to stand upright or walk properly made it impossible.

“I couldn’t bend,” Sullinger recalled. “I was walking like someone with an arch in their back.

If I went out there, they would’ve attacked me all game, and I would’ve been like a dead duck.”

That’s not likely to be the case this weekend.

The 6-foot-9, 265-pound Sullinger, who enters Saturday’s game averaging 17.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per outing, said he had not had any issues with his back since he was cleared to return to action nearly three months ago.

Just as he was back in December, Sullinger is looking forward to measuring his game against Robinson’s somewhere other than one of the three offseason skills camps the two attended together.

“Everybody’s kind of

shocked that he ‘came out of nowhere,’” Sullinger said of the 6-10, 237-pound Robinson. “But he’s a great player. He’s fast, he’s strong, he never gives up on a play, and he’s always in attack mode. Like I said earlier, he’s the player of the year in my eyes — without a doubt.”

Sullinger’s kind words about Robinson were echoed earlier in the day

by Robinson, who said he, too, was excited finally to be able to face Sullinger.

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

Robinson asked. “Off the floor we’re cool. But he’s a competitor, and I’m a competitor, so come Saturday, we can’t be cool out there. He didn’t play (in December), but he’s gonna play Saturday, so we’ll see what the difference was.”

KENTUCKY VS. LOUISVILLE

Bluegrass rivalry ‘just pure hatred’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

NEW ORLEANS — Although the bracket was set up for it to happen, second-seeded Missouri’s loss to Norfolk State in the second round in Omaha, Neb., ended all hope of one more Border War showdown between Kansas University and archrival Mizzou.

But that didn’t keep the topic of college basketball’s greatest rivalries from coming up at the Superdome on Thursday.

As top-seeded Kentucky prepares to face No. 4 seed Louisville in the first of two national semifinals Saturday, Louisville coach Rick Pitino shared his unique perspective on the rivalry between Kentucky and Louisville and its place in the conversation.

“People always ask me what the best rivalry is,” Pitino said. “Purists will say it’s North CarolinaDuke because they are in the same league. I have a different perspective. You all watched ‘Glory Road.’

It all started with the racial lines in Louisville, Ky. We are the minority university. They (Kentucky) are the university of the privileged, so to speak. That’s where the rivalry really started. It was thrown out of the window when Tubby Smith became the first African-American coach (at Kentucky). The hatred wasn’t based on race any longer. That was over. I did everything humanly possible to recruit Louisville to end those lines because I didn’t like it. The lines are no longer racially motivated. It’s just pure hatred.”

During his legendary coaching career, Pitino has been the head coach

Robinson.

He’s going to get some

break-away dunks, but I’m trying to make it hard for him, beat him to the spot, make him take tough twos.”

Even if Robinson isn’t effective at chasing Thomas to the perimeter, there’s always the chance the dome effect that kills so many three-point shots can do the work for KU’s first-team All-American.

Thomas said he didn’t know the game would be played in a dome until he walked onto the floor for Thursday’s practice, looked up and asked teammates if it doubled as a football field. They told him the New Orleans Saints played home games there.

“I shot it pretty well,” Thomas said. “Coach was happy I was shooting.

They usually say all that space in the background can mess up a shooter, but I was knocking ’em down. I don’t think anything has changed. I was looking at the rim, and everything was falling.”

Much of the talk Thursday centered on a match-up of AllAmericans, Robinson and Sullinger, but the two post match-ups that add to the intrigue of national semifinal pit Withey against Sullinger, Robinson against Thomas. Both All-Americans will face tough challenges, and just one will advance.

their meeting in the regular season as well as the hot-and-cold nature of their friendship were both prominent topics Thursday. Still, the UK-UL ri-

valry seemed to draw as much attention as anything.

“It makes it a little bigger for the state,” Louisville senior Kyle Kuric said. “Fans get into it a lot more than they usually would. It’s just another game for us, and we’re going to look at it like that and play as hard as we would in any other game.”

As for the rivalry’s importance Saturday, that’s up for debate.

“It isn’t that hard for us (to focus),” Kentucky guard Darius Miller said.

“It is something that we have been doing all year.

We don’t really pay any attention to any outside sources. We know it is a huge rivalry. It is huge for the fans, but we aren’t looking at it like that. This is just our next game, and we are going to continue

to prepare just like we have all year and have fun with it.”

Here’s a look at some more colorful quotes from the two other teams at this year’s Final Four: Q Louisville point guard Peyton Siva, on Kentucky forward Terrence Jones: “I’ve known Terrence since the fourth grade. I talk to him a lot. He is a real good guy, a real good friend and a great person.”

Q Calipari on his Wildcats’ chances of beating an NBA team: “This team could not beat one NBA team, not one. The worst one in the league, we could not beat. The whole point of this is getting a group of players to play together. People ask me if it’s hard to get those players to play together.

I tell them what’s hard: coaching bad players.

Coaching good players, if they are good-hearted people, they will (play together).”

Q UK forward Terrence Jones, on how much pressure is on the Wildcats: “As much pressure as it would be if it was anyone.

Being in the Final Four is pressure enough. With being the No. 1 team and having the target on our back that we have had all year, it just adds pressure as it is.”

Q Louisville freshman Chane Behanan, who was recruited by Pitino and Calipari, on the similarities between the coaches: “They were pretty much the same and told me the same things. They both said that if I work hard, I will earn what I put into it. They are both Italian.

They both are tremendous coaches and passionate about what they do. They are very experienced and love to win.”

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 12B

Dear Annie: I’m 20 and attending college near my parents’ home. Despite what my Catholic family wants, I’ve been exploring other religions for the past five years and have decided that Judaism is the right road for me. I want to let my family in on this process, but I’m afraid they’ll react badly and insist that my Jewish fiance is swaying my decision.

My mother is starting to pick up on the fact that I haven’t been going to church with her. She has informed me that she would be greatly insulted if I became Jewish, because all those years of putting me through Catholic school would be for naught. She recently hoped loudly that eventually I would “do the right thing and come back.” I’m tired of lying when they ask where I go on Friday evenings. Help? — At the Crossroads Dear Crossroads: There is some validity

to the claim that your fiance may be influencing your decision, but that is to be expected. Even if he isn’t making a concerted effort to convert you, his preferences and beliefs would be persuasive on their own.

We respect the fact that you have spent five years considering your decision, which indicates you’ve done a great deal of thinking. But we also recognize that most of this five-year period took place while you were a teenager and quite young for such a

Rita Wilson’s big Greek adventure Actress and producer Rita Wilson appears on “Who Do You Think You Are?” (7 p.m., NBC) and traces her family tree by returning to ancestral villages in both Greece and Bulgaria. She learns why her father’s family immigrated to the United States.

An actress since childhood (she appeared in “The Brady Bunch”), Wilson served as a producer of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” a film that set all kinds of box-office records in 2002.

Like many immigrant families, Wilson’s parents Americanized their family name. Originally called “Ibrahimoff,” they are said to have plucked “Wilson” from a street sign in Southern California.

While it’s purely idle speculation on my part, I think it may be more than coincidence that when Wilson’s husband, Tom Hanks, played a man stranded on a desert island in the 2000 drama “Cast Away,” his only companion was a volleyball named Wilson. Hey, it could have been a Voit!

Judge Nicastro brims with edicts and advice on “Fairly Legal” (8 p.m., USA). NBC’s tryout for this cable drama last Saturday did not bode well. According to tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com, “Legal” attracted a total of 3.3 million viewers last Friday on USA, but the show’s network showcase the following night was viewed by approximately 2.2 million. This decline speaks volumes about the difficulty of getting folks to watch anything on Saturday night. Or NBC. Or both.

The guys spend the night locked down in an underground cavern in Nevada on “Ghost Adventures” (8 p.m., Travel).

Tonight’s other highlights

The CEO of Yankee Candle burns at both ends on “Undercover Boss” (7 p.m., CBS).

A Mexican restaurant in Philadelphia requires a shakeup on the season finale of “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox).

A murder in a lab echoes a mid-century cold case on “CSI: NY” (8 p.m., CBS).

A little shop of horrors on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

Nothing seems familiar any longer on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox).

“Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) salutes the San Francisco Symphony’s 100th anniversary. Amy Tan hosts. Guests include Itzhak Perlman and Lang Lang.

A gun returned to a citysponsored buyback program is linked to a crime on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS

Game show host Peter Marshall is 86. Actor Richard Dysart is 83. Actor John Astin is 82.

Actor-director Warren Beatty is 75. Rock musician Eric Clapton is 67. Actor Robbie Coltrane is 62.

life-changing decision.

Regardless, please stop lying to your parents.

If this is the path you have chosen, you must be able to stand up for your beliefs in the face of their disappointment.

The sooner you start the more time they will have to reconcile themselves to the situation. You also can enlist the help of your rabbi.

Dear Annie: I am writing this to help military families who are at home while their spouses are deployed. As a military spouse for 20 years, I am sometimes overwhelmed, exhausted and isolated.

We often encounter people who want to thank my husband for his service. I thank them for their support. But if you know of a military spouse who is alone, here are a few suggestions: Offer to baby sit for free. Older children often miss out on evening events because younger

JOURNAL-WORLD ALL-AREA BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM

John Young/Journal-World Photo

THE 2012 JOURNAL-WORLD ALL-AREA BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM INCLUDES, from left, Khadre Lane, Seabury; Dane Erickson, Tonganoxie; Brett Frantz, Free State; Mason Wedel, De Soto; Nathan Stacy, Mill Valley; and Thomas Diaz, Seabury.

Player of the year Semi Ojeleye, Ottawa junior In the words of coach Jon McKowen, Ojeleye, the 6-foot7 forward whom everyone hoped to stop — or at least Ojeleye slow down — was an “amazingly consistent scorer.” Regardless of the defense thrown at Ojeleye, he always came close to or eclipsed his season scoring average of 32.5 points a game. His lowest point total for the season was 25, and Ojeleye led Ottawa to a second-place finish at the Class 4A state tournament.

Coach of the year Jon McKowen, Ottawa With the help of players such as Ojeleye, Dallas Natt and Alex Hasty, McKowen’s Cyclones nearly were unstoppable in 2011-12.

OHS put together a remarkable one-loss regular season and didn’t lose a second McKowen time until falling to Basehor-Linwood, 56-52, in the 4A state championship game. Ottawa finished the season 24-2.

First team Q Thomas Diaz, Seabury Academy — A Bogota, Colombia, native, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 13.3 points and 7.0

rebounds for the Seahawks, who won a 1A-Division I sub-state championship.

Q Dane Erickson, Tonganoxie — The Chieftains’ All-Kaw Valley League center eclipsed 1,000 career points during his senior season and averaged 16.8 points and 8.0 rebounds while shooting 59.3 percent from the field.

Q Brett Frantz, Free State — The 6-foot-1 versatile Firebirds guard led his team with 13.7 points a game and 37 percent threepoint shooting. Frantz also contributed 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Q

Georgi Funtarov, Seabury Academy — A 6-foot-7 senior forward from Bul-

Funtarov

garia, Funtarov did damage inside and outside for the Seahawks, averaging 21.7 points and 9.0 rebounds as Seabury advanced to the 1A-Div. I state tournament.

Q Logan Henrichs, Lawrence — Not only did the 6-foot-2 senior guard average 10 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists for the Lions (13-8) while hitting 38 Henrichs percent of his threepointers, he led LHS with 12 charges drawn.

Q Khadre Lane, Seabury Academy — A 6-foot-4 explosive sophomore shooting guard, Lane averaged 18.3 points and 6.0 rebounds for the Seahawks, who lost at the 1A-Div. I state tourna-

ment to eventual champ Ashland (26-0).

Q Semi Ojeleye, Ottawa — The lethal 6-foot-7 small forward averaged an astounding 32.5 points a game and pulled down 8.2 rebounds for 4A state runner-up OHS. Q KJ Pritchard, Lawrence — A 6-foot-5 senior guard, Pritchard led a balanced Lions attack with 11 points a game on 41 percent shooting while chip- Pritchard ping in 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Q Nathan Stacy, Mill Valley — The Jaguars’ 6-foot-4 junior forward led his team with 21.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists

and 2.1 steals, racked up 11 double-doubles and rarely left the floor, averaging 31 minutes a game.

Q Mason Wedel, De Soto — The Wildcats’ All-Frontier League 6-foot guard, who is headed to UMKC, averaged 23.2 points on 69 percent shooting, 4.2 assists and 2.9 steals for DHS (17-5).

Honorable mention Andrew Ballock, Eudora; Cornell Brown, Baldwin; Jacob Brown, Wellsville; Anthony Buffalomeat, Lawrence; Alex Dahl, Santa Fe Trail; Joey Johnson, De Soto; Jonathan Denton, Perry-Lecompton; Carter Gish, McLouth; Shamus Kearney, Wellsville; Dallas Natt, Ottawa; Elijah Penny, Veritas Christian; Nolan Rush, Wellsville; James Sage, Santa Fe Trail; Tyler Shaffer, Santa Fe Trail; Gavin Swearngin, McLouth; Marc Walbridge, McLouth.

Baker grad pursues pro punting career

By Corey Thibodeaux Special to the Journal-World

The pursuit of the dream has led to this. It has been three months since he moved away from his loved ones. Now in Arizona, he watches a Kansas City Royals spring training game to remind himself of home.

The road is rough, but if Garrett Chumley’s dream is to become an NFL punter, this is the path he must take.

The Tonganoxie native and former Basehor-Linwood standout has spent his post-college life in camps training to become draft-worthy in a position scarcely needed in the NFL. The punter is unlike most other positions in football. For those coming out of college, it means not just being good, but being good enough to be one of the 32 starting punters

in the league. One of the least recognized positions is one of the hardest markets to find a job.

“I don’t think any kid grows up wanting to be the star punter,” Chumley said.

But it has worked out for him so far.

Chumley graduated from Baker University in December and immediately packed up and moved to Arizona, where he knew no one. He has been working out in pro development camps, one in Phoenix and the other in San Diego, with other punters who have the same goal.

It hasn’t been entirely lonely, however. He has befriended other punters in camp, and they use each other as their own support system.

Chumley’s family has come down to visit, and they use Skype to bridge the distance most other nights. He has never been

more than 45 minutes from home for an extended period of time, so it has been an adjustment for all.

“That’s what he needs to do to make his dreams come true,” Garrett’s mother, Brenda Chumley, said.

When Chumley started playing football in fifth grade, his team needed a punter.

The coach had everyone stand on the goal line and boot the ball as far as they could. The longest kicker would serve as punter. Chumley won.

The older he grew, so did the need for someone with an experienced leg.

In high school, he was the starting punter as a sophomore and started on offense and defense as a junior. The only way he could get off the field was on kickoffs.

As his skills increased, what was once a natural ability to kick became Chumley’s specialty.

Basehor-Linwood football coach Steve Hopkins had two impressions when he first saw Chumley: He punted left-footed even though he was righthanded, and the ball exploded off his foot.

Chumley’s college career didn’t really take off until his sophomore year at Baker when he met teammate Derek Doerfler, a kicker on many NFL teams’ radars. An NFL scout came to see Doerfler at a practice, but Chumley caught the scout’s eye.

The next year, that scout called to talk about Chumley. As his popularity grew, others called to get game film.

“Those are the things along the way that motivate you and that get it drilled into your head that you do have the skill set to make it at the next level,” Chumley said.

Before the first game of the 2011 season at Baker,

Chumley’s grandfather, one of his biggest fans, passed away.

With a heavy heart, Chumley drilled his first punt in the season opener against Ottawa — a gorgeous 57-yarder that hung in the air for what seemed like hours.

“That first punt set the tone for the whole season,” Brenda Chumley said.

He averaged 39.8 yards per punt in his final season with longs of 64, 61 and 57 twice.

Darren Bennett, one of Chumley’s pro development coaches and a former NFL punter, said he would be great in any locker room and that his character has stood out in camp.

“He’s not going to be outworked,” Bennett said.

In the pursuit of the dream, one must also face reality.

are thousands. The reality is that the NFL ball is much harder to kick than a college ball. The reality is that a punter from a small college in Kansas isn’t going to be noticed over a Division I punter who regularly punts in front of 70,000-plus fans every week.

The Las Vegas combine in April could make or break him. The best case scenario is that he goes to Las Vegas, blows everyone away and gets selected in the draft.

But those odds are slim.

There may be two or three punters drafted, at best, throwing all the others into the free-agent pool.

And Chumley doesn’t have a concrete backup in place. It’s not that he is unprepared, because he understands the risks.

He isn’t so blinded by his ambition that he has lost sight of the real world.

“It’s up in the air right now,” he said.
