Victory over Kansas would soothe 'Cats
By BILL NEWSOME
Sports Writer
Ahearn Field House isn't an ideal place to have, to rally to heat the home team.
Kansas, which travels to Manhattan tomorrow to play Kansas State, is certainly aware of that. Tipoff is at 1:40 p.m. for the regionally played game.
The Jayhawks have six straight games on K-State's home court, and they know that they probably will not be able to beat the Wildcats in the same manner that they've already defeated them twice this season. KU trained from a 14-point first-half deficit in the Big Eight Holiday Tournament to beat K-State 67-62, and then rallied from a second-half deficit to beat the Wildcats, 36-32, last month in Alumni Field House.
BUT FALLING behind against Kansas State before a packed home crowd of 10,500 screaming fans is a bad idea. Ted Owens, a former Iowa defensive back, leads KU teams along Arizona's side of the fact.
Owens' last team to win there was the 107-11 team, which posted a perfect record in 12 games.
"O'HEARN IS A tough place to play,"
"Owens said, smiling at what he said he
Jayhawks sign football recruits
Bud Moore, KU head football coach,
announced yesterday that 15 high school and
juniore prospectss from Kansas and
metropolitan Kansas City, Mo, have signed
conference letters of intent with the
Javhaws.
The out-of-state signings were not anounced.
Included are 11 backs and receivers and four linemen. The list includes quarterback Roger Foster from Peabody. Foote, who is 6'2" and 195 pounds, the most highly recruited players in the State.
Also signing with Kansas was Russ Bastin, 6-2, 190-pound wide receiver from Emporia; Todd Bertsch, 6-3, 210-pound linebacker from Dodge City; Brad Butts, 6-1, 200-pound back from Mulvane; Glen Cason, 6-3, 180-pound wide receiver from Kansas City, Kansas City, Mo.; Ray Eaton, 6-3, 180-pound back from Rockhurst High School, Kansas City, Mo.; Tim Friess, 6-2, 185-pound running back and defensive back from Lyons;
Bob Hanna, 6-1, 180-pound defensive back from Coffeveyi from Joe Haus, 6-4, 220-pound defensive lineman from Lee's Summit, Mo.; David Jones, 6-4, 250-pound offensive and defensive lineman from Chapman; Tim Jones, 5-11, 175-pound running back from Fort Scott; Kirk Maska, 6-1, 185-pound quarterback from Hays; Mike Pearl, 6-1, 175-pound defensive back from St. Plus High School, Kansas City, Mo.; Grant Therofile, 6-1, 180-pound running back from Beldita and Brad Turner, 6-4, 180-pound running back from Independence.

considered an understatement. "And Kansas State has great individual talent when they put it all together. I don't want them in the country that can stay with them."
Moore said that no further signings would be announced until Wednesday, the date an announcement would be made.
Seniors Ken Koenigs and Clint Johnson are veterans of three losses at K-State. Both are looking forward to their fourth trip to Manhattan.
"Their fieldhouse gives them a tremendous advantage because it is so loud and packed that it makes them play well," said Brunson, looking forward to this game for a long time.
"I get fired up by their crowd because I want to quiet them down," Johnson said. "The crowd helps them, but I really don't think it affects us at all."
KOENIGS AND JOHNSON, in fact, have played key roles in the two earlier KU victories. The pair was assigned to guard Curtis Reds and Mike Evans, K-State's powerful 1-2 scoring punch. Each is against 20 points a game against their opponents.
Koenigs, with a five-inch height advantage, has limited Redding to 31 points in
Mike Evans
the two games and to a poor 13 for 41
shooting record from the field.
Johnson, who has always held Evans in check, has done even better in the two games. Evans, who recently became the all-time Big Eight scoring leader, has score. just 26 points and was 11 for 28 from the field.
The Wildcats' season, like their two games against KU, hasn't been very good by any means. But the team has both the conference title and post-season tournament last season, the Wildcats have slipped into a tie for fourth place in the NCAA Tournament. Their latest loss was to Nebraska Wednesday.

Trackmen seek improved times
When the Kansas track team competes at the Oklahoma Track Classic tomorrow at the Myriad in Oklahoma City, Ola., they will be in better physical condition than they have been for any other meet of the indoor season.

Only jumper Jay Reardon is expected to miss the 35-team meet. Reardon slightly missed the game.
Returning to action, however, are sprinters Kevin Newell and Tommy McCall
sprinters Kevin Newell and Tommy McCall. In the past two years, KU has run superbly at the Myriad. Their victories include two Sooner Relays championships and last year's United States Track and Field Federation championship.
THE JAYHAWKS could return with another championship, but Bob Timmons, KU men's track coach, would be content to qualify his mile and two-mile relay teams for the NCAA championships. That would be greater with the return of the two sprinters.
"We've run well at the Miyad, " Timmons said. "We already competed there once this season, but three of our sprinters missed the meet, and both relaite teams fell a

MICKENS ALSO will run a leg on the two-
line relay team, having him be Glenn
Henry's partner.
WILEY, WHO qualified for the NCAA meet in the first meet of the season and he has run four straight 6.0 times, will be joined in that event by David Bluster and Newell, both of whom have also met the NCAA standard.
In addition to qualifying the relay teams, Timmons said he hoped to qualify several more individuals for the NCAA meet. Eight Jayhawks already have qualified.
Butcher also will compete in the 309 and Newell will double in the 440. Trom Jantzish will run the 600 and McCall will be KU's only entry in the 880.

Wiley and Bluchter will compete in the 60- yard low hurdles and Anthony Coleman will compete.
John Butterfield, who placed second to Reardon last week in the high jump, is entered in that event. Marcus Battle is KU's only entry in the triple jump.
