Sports Briefs Local Bowling Standings Michigan State, Kansas, Oklahoma stay 1-2-3 in AP Top 25 By The Associated Press Michigan State, Kansas and Oklahoma held the top three spots in The Associated Press' college basketball poll for a second straight week. There was a shakeup in the rest of the top 10 after a weekend of upsets. The Spartans (12-0) were a near unanimous choice, receiving all but one first-place vote from the 65-member national media panel. Kansas (9-1) got the other No. 1 vote. Following Oklahoma were Maryland, Virginia, Xavier, North Carolina, Arizona, Butler and Providence, which is in the top 10 for the first time since Jan. 17, 1978. Utah, which returned to the rankings following its win over Duke on Saturday, and South Carolina, which is ranked for the first time since the final poll of 2003-04, are the week's new- comers at 24th and 25th. They replace UCLA and Connecticut. Mariners' Iwakuma to Receive Signing Bonus in Three Payments SEATTLE (AP) — Pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma will receive his $1 million signing bonus from the Seattle Mariners in three equal payments through 2017 as part of his contract that guar- antees $12 million but could be worth up to $47.5 million over three years. Iwakuma will get install- ments on Dec. 31 this year and Dec. 1 in each of the following two years. The 34-year-old right-hander receives a $10 million salary next year under the deal announced last week, and Seattle has $10 million options for 2017 and 2018. Iwakuma would get a $1 million buyout if either option is declined. The 2017 option would become guaranteed at $14 million if he pitches 162 innings next year, and the 2018 option would become guaranteed at $15 million if he pitches 162 innings in 2017 or 324 combined in 2016 and '17. In every season, he can earn $500,000 each for 150 innings pitched and each additional 10 through 190. NFL Suspends Giants WR Beckham for One Game NEW YORK (AP) — Losing control during Sunday's loss to the Panthers will cost Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. one game. The NFL on Monday suspended Beckham for next weekend's visit to Minnesota for his conduct against Carolina, when he drew three personal foul penalties. The league cited "multiple violations of safety-related playing rules." Beckham appealed the de- cision. His case will be heard by either James Thrash or Der- rick Brooks, the hearing officers jointly appointed by the NFL and the players' union. Without Beckham, the Gi- ants (6-8) would be missing their best offensive weapon as they try to stay alive in the NFC East race. Beckham and Panthers cornerback Josh Norman tangled from the beginning of the Pan- thers' 38-35 victory. At one point, Beckham delivered a diving helmet-to-helmet hit on Norman while blocking. There was plenty of pushing, shoving, swinging, wrestling, late hits and trash talking between them. Beckham, the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year, has 91 catches for 1,396 yards and 13 touchdowns, tied for the league lead. He has a base salary of $893,000 and would lose $55,813 for being suspended for Sunday night's game. The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Foot- ball Operations Merton Hanks, who ruled that Beckham's actions placed his opponents at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided. "At numerous times during (Sunday's) game against the Carolina Panthers, your actions placed a fellow player at unnecessary risk . and clearly did not represent the high standards of sportsmanship expected," Hanks said in a letter to Beckham. • Sports 5 SPORTS The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2015

NFL Rams Down Buccaneers in Possible Last Game in St. Louis

By The Associated Press Rams players saw the signs, heard the chanting, noticed the volume was turned up. The effort was inspired on what could have been the final home game for the franchise in St. Louis. “It was a great atmosphere,” quarterback Case Keenum said after the Rams beat the Tampa Bay Buc- caneers 31-23 on Thursday night. “I think it was a great atmosphere for the nation to watch. “The crowd was into it. It was a lot of fun.” Tavon Austin scored twice, Todd Gurley topped 1,000 yards rushing for St. Louis

Jets Use Late FG to Top Cowboys Ryan Fitzpatrick threw his first interception in almost a month and probably should have ended up with one or two more. Still, the New York quarterback was on target when he needed to be, and the Jets kept the pressure on Pittsburgh and Kansas City in the race for two wild-card spots in the AFC.

Another option is to freeze the layers. In either case, make

frosting becomes crisp upon standing and provides a crunchy contrast to the tender cake and creamy filling. Contrary to this frosting’s name, you may need to beat the egg whites for up to 12 minutes to form stiff peaks. Cake: 1 ¾ cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup butter, softened ¾ cup sugar, plus ⅓ cup ⅔ cup 2% reduced-fat milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 egg whites 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans Seven-Minute Frosting and Filling: 1 ⅓ cups sugar ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar 2 egg whites ¼ cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon almond extract ⅓ cup raisins ⅓ cup chopped pecans ⅓ cup chopped dried figs

1. Preheat oven to 350F Coat two 8-inch layer cake pans with cooking spray; line bottoms with wax paper and coat paper with spray. 2. To prepare cake, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Beat butter and ¾ cup sugar until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture alternately with milk, blending well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. 3. In another bowl beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup sugar and beat until nearly stiff peaks form. Stir about one-third of whites into batter; fold in remaining whites. Pour into prepared pans. Bake 25 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, peel off wax paper and let cool completely on racks. 4. To prepare frosting, in top of a double boiler or large bowl that fits over a pot, combine sugar, cream of tartar, egg whites

hand mixer until stiﬀ peaks form, 7 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla and beat 1 minute or until thick enough to spread. 5. To prepare ﬁlling, place 1½ cups frosting in a separate bowl

6. Place one layer bottom side up on plate and top with fruit and nut ﬁlling. Cover with remaining cake layer, top side up. Frost sides and top of cake with remaining frosting. Sprinkle pecans around top edge of cake. Serves 10. Recipe by Jean Kressy JOY to the WORLD
