Friends again
Akansas guard Darnell Valentine and referee Iry Brown shake and make up after Brown called him for a foul in the second half of last night's 84-85 Kansas victory over Oklahoma State. Valentine scored a career high 22 points to help move Kansas into sole possession with 17 points from 30 shots. The Kansers were forced to lance the Oklahoma Sooners. Kansas has already been benched Akansas twice this season.

It looked like Saturday night all over again.

Ted Owens, Kansas head coach, had reason to be happy after the game.
The powerful, eighth ranked Kansas Jayhawks blazed the lowly Oklahoma State Cowboys out of Allen Field House, 8420 South Lake to did they to Colorado this week end.
"The NATURE of Oklahoma State's zone (a 1-2-3) was allowing our perimeter players to get open. "Owens said. "Darnell had a chance to join and John are starting to reain their rhythm."
"WE PLAYED ONE fine basketball," he said. "The thing I liked was that when we came on the court there wasn't a lot of ball, but our players were still ready to play."
KU's three-guard offense was at its best against OSU. The Jayhawks' four regular guards—Darnell Milwaukee, Wimbrel, Fowler—combined for 58 points against the Cowboys.
Women to battle Tigers
The Jayhawks' strong effort vaulted them into sole possession of first place in the Big Eight. Kansas State knocked co-leader Iowa State out of first place with a 74-63 win. KU, now 7-1 in the league, is one game ahead of both Iowa State and Nebraska.
"I was just getting a lot of layups, easy buckets, Valentine. When you make a lot of layups, it works."
Valentine and Johnson combined to hit 17 of 23 shots from the field. Valentine's 22 points and Johnson's 16 were season highs for both players. Valentine also had six
Like the 85-56 victory over the Buffaloes, last night's win came easily. KU jumped to a 31-point lead in the second half before Kansas outstretched the margin against the Kansas reserves.

Hoping history will not repeat itself, the KU women's basketball team begins a six-game road trip tonight with a game against at Michigan of Missouri at 7:30 in Columbia, Mo.
Douglas scored 12 points and Fowler eight points before he fouled out late in the second half. Two other Jayhawks, Paul Mokeski and Ken Koenigs, also fouled out.
The quick KU guards took advantage of the slower Cowboys at the outset of the second half. Time after time, the guards broke open fast breaks as the Jayhawks outscore Cowboys in State 2-4, in the first minutes of the half to take a commanding 68-35 lead.
If the Lady Jayhawks win the three-team
Both teams are ranked in the Philadelphia Inquirer's women's top 20 basketball poll. The Tigers, 14-3, are ranked 15th and the Lady Jayhawks, 13-6, are ranked 19th.
"Our big men did a great job of getting the ball out on the fast break." Johnson said. "Once you start doing that, you're going to get open for the good shots.
OKLAHOMA STATE coach Jim
Kansas, which entered the Missouri game at 9-1, lost four of its next six games before winning the Lady Jayhawk Classic Saturday in Lawrence.
the tigers won the last game between the two teams, beating the Lady Jayhawks 84-81 in the finals of the Big Eight Tournament last month in Allen Field House.
KU coach Marian Washington said Kansas had never beaten the Tigers and a victory over Missouri would boost the success of the injury-plagued Lady Jawhays.
"A VICYITY over Missouri would do two things," Washington said. "It would help our national ranking and it would increase our chances for a regional berth to the AIAW satellite regional basketball tournament if we fail to win our state con-
Kansas Conference, they automatically qualify for the satellite regional.
Should Kansas lose the conference, the Lady Jayhawks could still qualify as an atlarg entry if they have the best record in the AIAW section.
Chronic injuries, however, threaten the Jahyhaws' drive to the play-offs.
Forward Cheryl Burnett, Centralia, Mo., sophomore, will not play in the Missouri game because of a severely bruised ankle. Cheryl Burnett was one of the Lady Jawhayk Classes Friday of
BURNETT IS averaging 10.2 points a game. V.C. SANDERS, Wichita junior, is suffering from a badly bruised knee she received in the lady Jayawacks' loss to K-State Jan. 25. Sanders will see limited action in the Missouri game.
Problems also plague Susan Chystek,
Grand Rapids, Mich. freshman, although
she may play against Missouri, Washington said.
Washington said she was concerned about the team's performance in tonight's game. The Lady Jayhawks had only one good day and they lost a group of schedule conflicts in Allen Field House.
"You need more than one day to prepare for a nationally ranked team," Washington said. "Missouri is an excellent basketball team. They're the biggest team we'll see all year."

Washington said she would counter the Tigers' height advantage with the fast break to-out run Missouri and a full-court press to force the Tigers into turnovers.
Offensively, Kansas will rotate Adrian Mitchell and Lynette Woodard at forward and center positions.
THE TIGERS feature four women scoring in double figures. They are led by Sharon Farrah, averaging 17.8 points a game. Kerry Dixon, averaging 15.6 points, rebounder averaging 8.8 rebounds a game.
Washington said the team could not afford early foul trouble against Missouri.
"All year we've been hampered by fouls," she said. "We can't play our game when we get into four trouble. Our kids just sit back on their heels."

Killingworth was impressed by KU's start at the start of the final half.
"Kansas came out the second half with a tremendous run," he said. "I thought Valentine especially played a magnificent game."

The Kansas guards weren't the
Jayhawks' only boys, though.
Mokeki pulled down 10 rebounds, as did Fowler, and Keenings continued his brilliant shooting from the field, canning four of six shots for 11 points.
KOENIGS MADE all seven shots he attempted against Colorado, and his two misses against the Cowboys prompt Owen to jugle. "Koenigs shot a lotour four of
KU played another strong defensive game, limiting OSU to 31 percent shooting in the first half and taking a 40-20 halftime lead. OSU also shot 51 percent at KU's 48.6 percent.

"It's good to be there," Valentine said,

Unbeaten team seeks title
The Kansas women's swimming team ends its regular season this weekend by competing in the University of Oklahoma where it begins tonight in Norman, Okla.
In addition to Kansas and host Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Stephens College, Texas Christian and Southern Methodist Universities will compete.
The meet will provide the Jayhawks with a final warm-up before they defend their Big Eight Conference title. The Big Eight Charity meeting will be held Feb. 16-18 (numbles).
Gary Kempt, head coach of the undefeated KU team, said he was looking for consistent performances from his swimmers.
"I really not concerned about them showing a lot of speed." Kemp said recently. "I just want them to be consistent. I have to be consistently strong at this point."
"We had a good meet last week and should be ready to go in the Invitational. We need this meet because we need to see some matches and finals before the Big Eight meet."
