Jayhawks face riled up Cowboys
Sports Editor

Missouri—and Big Eight officials Jim Bain and Ron Spitler—didn't do KU's basketball team any favors Wednesday night.
The Tigers, with the help of several disputed calls, defeated Oklahoma State, 72-71 at Stillwater. And when the Cowboys win, they will probably still be burning.
Things got so hot in Stillwater Wednesday night that Oklahoma State was whistled for four technical calls. But it still took a jump shot by Missouri guard Willie Smith with 12 seconds to go and a disputed "non-call" at the end to beat the Cowboys.
"ITS OBYIVO THEY have a very good team," KU assistant coach Sam Miranda said of the Cowboys. "They had to give up a possible two points and the ball out of bounds four times. That's 12 points they gave up on technicals."
While the Cowhays were losing a tough one at home, KU put a big road win at Iowa.
The big thing about the game was that
That's exactly the same position Oklahoma State will be in tomorrow night. The Cowboys, now 2-6 in the league race, desperately need to win on the road.
won, "Miranda said. 'We needed to win bady after losing at home last week."
On the other hand, KU can't afford to lose at home. Mathematically, the Jaywahks won by 15 games in a trailing league leader Missouri (7-1), three games with six to go. Kansas State
offense did exactly what we wanted it to. Our pucks shot well and that took some of the blame.
Good guard play was something KU had been getting little of recently before Wednesday night. Milt Gibson and Clint Johnson simply had not been playing well. But they came out firing against the team, allowing to hit 10 of 14 shots from the field.
and Nebraska are one game behind the Titers at 6-2.

TOMORROW NIGHT, MIRANDA would like to see KU play a whole game as it did the first half against Iowa State last Wed-needay.
"We have always thought that Milt and Clint were good shooters," Miranda said. "I think they showed that last night. But for us to be successful, they must continue to play well."
"In the first half, I thought we played exceptionally well," Miranda said. "Our
OKLAHOMA STATE BOASTS a pretty good guard of its own in Ronnie丹妮, a 5-11 sparkplug who scored 24 points in the loss to New York man who makes the Cowboy offense run.
Miranda said, "He has good quickness and he drives well. But what makes him especially effective is that he passes off when we are our big men support on his drivers."
In KU's 63-59 loss to the Cowboys at Stillwater earlier this year, it was the Cowboy frontline that hurt the Jayhawks. Oklahoma State has good size, starting 6-7 Lafayette Threatt, 6-4 Dus Holder and 6-8 Dave Kravel.
"They are very active up front," Miranda said. "They have good size and they are good jumpers. And not only do they have good size, but they have strength as well."
What does KU have to do to beat the Cowboys? It's very simple, according toJim defense. It just have to do a real good job to defend and we have to do a good job on the boards."
Compton swaps Navy for KU swim team
"Ronnie Daniel is an exceptional guard."

While many young men graduating from high schools were dodging Dugon Sam's military establishment, Tom Compton was trvying to get in.
When Compton, senior co-captain on the University of Kansas swim team, was graduated from Wichita Southeast High School in 1984, he appointed to one of the military academies.
"I applied through state senators"
"and Congressman (Garner)
Shriver appointed."
Compton attended the U.S. Naval academy in Annapolis, Md., for his freshman year. He was one of the first graduates.
"I THINK THE academy was going through a transition while I was there," he said. "I was disillusioned. There was a set of double standards between the old traditions and some of the new ideas coming in.
Compton said that although the experience had been good for him, he preferred to pursue an education in art and design, helping build a B.A. in environmental design.
"I just wasn't comfortable there. There wasn't an architectural school there and that's what I wanted. But I think I would have done it if I hadn't gone to the academy."
"ARCHITECTURE isn't a particularly easy major to go along with swimming."
Reamon's scholarship offer was a factor in his decision to come to KU in 1973.
"I realized it was a good opportunity to swim at about the best school in the Midwest," he said. "When I was swimming at Southwich (Wichita), I knew KU had a good swim team. They had five Big Eight titles in a row and this season will be their ninth."
Compton said he had to sit out of competition for one year because of his transfer from the Naval Academy. After being red-faced by the judge, he won the best season of his career last year, he said.
COMPTON BECOME PART OF KU's varsity record charts in his first season with a 58.661 in 100 yard breaststroke and for his part in the 400 yard medley relay team. The team of Mike Uffers, Compton, Don Menzle and Allan McDonald set the record at 3:30.5.
Last summer, he swam in the Region Eight Championships of the Pan American trials and won both the 100 and 200 meter races. In the latter event, he was 108.75 and in the 200 he finished in 221.5.
In the NCAA nationals last year in Ohio, Compton finished 14th in the backstroke, just two positions shy of gaining All-America status.
Before the NCAA nationals are held this spring in Providence, R.I., Compton and his teammates have another conference championship to aim for.
"After our last meet with Oklahoma," Compton said, "I was really encouraged." I just know we're going to win. If we keep our strong, we'll win it. But it won't be strong."
Swimmers juggle lineup
The KU swim team hosts Colorado and Nebraska at 7:30 tonight in Robinson Natatorium, be prepared for an unusual and jumbled Jayhawk line-up.
Coach Dick Reamon said he intended to use his swimmers in events outside their specialties to give them added competitive experience.
Recent stiff competition with Iowa State, Oklahoma and Missouri has kept him from
shuffling his line-up before now, Reamid said. He said he didn't expect a strong challenge from either the Cornhuskers or the Buffaloes.
"Nebraska doesn't have anything," he said, "but the fact that Colorado has a few good people that can help us polish up is totally positive for us. "Our swimmers can get a better opportunity to guage their efforts."

TACO-TICO SPECIAL SANCHOS
--it appears to us that Mr. X faithfully "PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR:" Get busy, work, make with something which to honor and worship God. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy: six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work."
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalm 2 and Acts 4:25
CONCERNING "PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR"
Isaiah 6:11; The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me; because The Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; — — In Luke 4:16, etc. we read that Jesus came to Nazareth where He had been before he was baptized. That day, Jesus sapph day, stood up to read and found the place in Isaiah where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because he Hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor — — After John the Baptist was put in prison by Herod, John sent two of his disciples to ask Christ if He was the one to come, or should they look for another. — — "TO THE POOR THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED." Luke 7:19, etc.
Here is a story and incident the writer heard many years ago about some "Preaching the Gospel to the poor" that made a great impression. I never learned the identity or name of the man who did the praise, but I remembered him as a businessman who was very zealous in his Christian witnessing and testimony. He got together several of his likeminded friends to help with the music, etc., and went out each Sunday afternoon and held a dinner with them. I remember they were about 12 or 15 inmates. One afternoon as they rode out to the service Mr. X shocked and amused his friends by telling them he intended to start taking up a collection in every service, and urge those people to give their gifts. We present a present for God every Sunday. They had gotten into the habit of always expecting gifts with never the thought of giving being presented. It "REMEMBER THE WORDS OF JESUS LORD JEWEL HOW HE SAID, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN RECEIVE." They were urged to try and earn the money they gave, to find a little job or work they could do, and tell they were trying to earn a little income. The kind of person suggested getting something to give by self-delivery with their allowance for sniff, smoking or chewing tobacco or something else. Mr. X kept passing the half and this kind of behavior throughout his life. He suggested get something to give by self-delivery after awhile some began giving regularly. One man got so interested in making something to give that he brought in sizeable goods, and Mr. X suggested he tithe the amount and save it from his earnings. He left the business as a living and supported himself. Some years later he truly said: "YOU CAN OUTGIVE GOD!"
--it appears to us that Mr. X faithfully "PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR:" Get busy, work, make with something which to honor and worship God. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy: six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work."
The above incident happened tworecord or more years ago. It came to pass before our Statesmen, and Politicians, and Preachers, and the Powers of the Press, and Scholars "Fell in Love" with the Poor, the Laperts, and the Stampin' Up! Band. They had a hardness of their qualifications of character, intelligence, integrity, etc. Now that great numbers of them have been promoted to 'cast the ballist' many feel the freedom and liberty to 'cast sticks and stones to break our bones', yea, and 'cast bulls, pellets, buckets, hammers, and fire to burn up our cities, homes, industries, and what have you!"
it appears to us that these preachers, politicians, professors, or whatev, who think they are "Praeching The Gospel to the Poor" by advocating the state guarantee one every a living regardless of their situation. Acts 12:30 and Acts 14:58 gave the Sorcerer Simon: "The thy money perish with thee, because thou has thought the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast not part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not in the sight of those who have been graved." It seems perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou are in the gall of bittersense, and in the bond of imiquity." Acts 8:20-22. Or may it be they need the probably more mature souls? Acts 9:31 Paul delivered to another sorcerer, Elymus, found in Acts 13:19-2.
