Although the University of Kansas women's basketball team lost an exhibition game to the Kansas Legislature, 59-7, last night in Cleveland, the Lady Lions won in another respect.
KU coach and women's athletic director Marian Washington said the game drew attention to the financial problems facing women in football of women's intercollegiate athletics.
"The importance of this game was definitely not the score," Washington said. "We were trying to sell our program to the state legislature and this game was one of
The women are seeking a fund increase of $85,115, which is the amount before the Legislature.
REF LLOYD Ruzzi, R-Lawrence, who participated in the game, said he was optimistic that the legislature would approve the funds.
"Tonight is a good example of what the women athlete can do," he said. "I would
be surprised and disappointed if the funds don't come through."

Washington said the women's program budget had increased only $30,000 in the last two years and remaining competitive with men's schools had become increasingly difficult.
SHE SAID the increase requested by the University from the Legislature was only a net increase of $30,000 and that this amount would probably be absorbed by salaries.
The Student Senate voted last year to refuse funding for women's athletics beginning in fiscal 1979. The women's department currently has in its budget $63,066 that was allocated by the Senate for fiscal 1978.
Athletes said inadequacies existed in training room facilities, other facilities and facilities.
After the game, Washington said she was opting out of the chances for passage of judges in recent years.

however, rallied to score three baskets in the final minute of play but fell short.
Although the Lady Jayhawks trailed most of the second half, KU battled back and went ahead. 49, 48 with 42 24 left in the game when Woodard scored.
Washington said the key to the game was the inside play of Baker.
