Current Events: Sports it I Cardinals win Seriesg Porter named MVP The St. Louis Cardinals, molded by Manager Whitey Herzog in his own feisty image and driven by the persistent bats of Darrell Porter, Keith Hernandez and George Hendrick, ended 15 years of frustration by beating the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-3, to win baseball's 79th World Series. Porter, who was I-Ierzog's catcher at Kansas City, drove in one of the St. Louis runs in the decisive seventh game and had five runs batted in for the Series, which earned him the award of Most Valuable Player. The victory gave the Cardinal club its ninth World Series Championship and the fourth straight win for the National League. ii' 'Cr 'lk Washington Redskins win Super Bowl XVIH Setting three Super Bowl Records, Washington Redskins' john Riggins was the unanimous selection as the game's Most Valuable Player. By having 38 carries, 166 yards rushing and a 43-yard touchdown run from scrim- mage, Riggins led the underdog Redskins to a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVIII and climaxed a most incredible season for both Riggins and Coach joe Gibbs. The 33-year-old Riggins, a native Kan- san, ran over the Dolphins, just as he had in amassing 444 yards in playoff victories over Detroit, Minnesota and Dallas. Riggins broke the Super Bowl rushing record of 158 yards on 34 carries set by Pittsburg's Franco Harris' in 1975 against Minnesota, and his 38 carries were one short of an all-time National Football League record. It was a sensational end to the last year of Riggins' contract with the Redskins. His season began in acrimony when he was rumored to be possiblelirade material after sitting out the 1980 season because the, Redskins would not guarantee the final year of his contract. Riggins was not all the Redskins had. They also had joe Theismann, who com- pleted 15 of 23 pass attempts for 143 yards and two touchdowns and two passes in- terce p ted . , . The Redskins were the best team in the National Conference with an 8-1 record, one victory more than Miami. Never- theless, they came into the Superbowl as three-point underdogs. They are now 12-1 and Super Bowl Champions only two years after Gibbs took over a losing team devoid of draft choices traded away by Former Coach George Allen in the early 197O's. si' 'iff 'Z-X' NFL players conduct 57-day football strike After months of off-and-on talks, the result of the contract negotiations bet- ween the National Football League Players Association and the team owners was the longest strike C57 daysj in U.S. sports history and the first regular-season walkout in the 63-year existence of the National Football League. The players were irritated by the news that the league had completed a record television deal: S2,100,000,000 over a five-year span. With the slogan We Are the Game, the players' union made as its paramount demand that 55 percent of the league's gross revenues be placed in a central fund and paid to the players under a salary-bonus system. Matters were at a standstill as the season opened, and after two weeks of play a strike was called. An estimated 94 percent of the players concurred with the union's decision to strike. The end of the strike brought a higher wage scale for players, a new bonus plan, a severance plan and other benefits. Carr ends WSU career, sets new Shocker record Antoine Carr closed out his career as a forward for the Wichita State University Shocker basketball team by being named Missouri Valley Player of the Year, and an All-American selection nationwide. Carr rewrote the WSU record book in his last season, becoming one of the best players in Shocker history. His most memorable record was the last game of the season where he scored 47 points, a new all-time single game scoring record for a Wichita State player. Carr was a local favorite in Wichita, graduating from Heights High School and being a top draft choice in the National Basketball Association. His accomplishments include being ranked first in career field goal percentage and field goals at Wichita State, and was the first Wichita State player to be named as Missouri Valley Player of the Year. Carr led the Wichita State team to a 25-3 season record, the best winning record of any Wichita State team. Despite this, the Shockers and Carr were not allowed to participate in post-season tour- naments due to the final year of NCAA probation. 'frufrufr KU fires Ted Owens after 19-year tenure Ted Owens reign as coach of the University of Kansas basketball program ended when he was fired after the jayhawk's second losing season in a row. Owens, the school's fifth basketball coach in 85 years, compiled 348 victories, six Big Eight Conference titles, ap- pearances in seven NCAA tournaments and two NIT berths during his 19-year reign at KU. He was also named Coach of the Year five times for the Big Eight Con- ference. His career won-loss record was 348-182 for 65.7 percent. He became the only basketball coach ever fired by the University of Kansas. Prior to the firing, Owens had received much criticism for his team's records and for the decrease in attendance at home games. 'iff it 'fr Ted Bredehoft resigns from athletic program Ted Bredehoft resigned as head of the Wichita State University athletic depart- ment at the request of University Presi- dent Clark Ahlberg. The resignation came after Bredehoft found himself under heavy fire for reigning over an athletic program that had become the most fre- quently penalized in the history of the National Collegiate Athletic Association CNCAAJ The resignation ended weeks of speculation, rumor and tension at the university over Bredehoft's job status, and it came as the university was investigating alleged NCAA rules violations by the football and basketball programs. ifrifrifr
