6 University Daily Kansan Monday, January 30, 1978 KU smothers Buffs with full-court press By BILL NEWSOME Kansas had something to prove Saturday night. After turning in two consecutive lackster performances against Kansas State and Nebraska, the Jayhawks proved that they still have the killer instinct by sweeping outmanned Colorado out of Allen Field House. 85-56. The victory puts the Jayhawks, 16-3 overall and 6-1 in conference play, in a tie for first place with Iowa State for the big game. The Kansas, 92-, remains a game behind Kansas. "WE'RE GETTING closer to what is necessary to reach our potential as a team," Ted Owens, KU head basketball coach, said after the victory. "We played extremely hard and tough." The enthusiasm and intensity on defense was there, and we were moving on offense." Actually the game played before 14,130 fans, wasn't even as close as the 29-point margin of victory might indicate. At one point KU led by 42 points, 81,39. but the Buffaloes outscurred the Kansas reserves 17 during the final four minutes of the contest. The Jayhawks, who had been plagued by poor shooting the last two games, regained their touch against the Buffaloes. Kansas shot 54.4 percent from the field for the game, including a sizzling 61.3 percent in the first half. SENIORS KEN Koenigs and Clint Johnson had perfect nights. Koenigs, who is now shooting 70 percent in league play, was named the league's top scorer by the tree throw line, leading KU with 16 points. "I'm in a good shooting rhythm," Koenigs said, "Our offense as a whole did a much better job than we did." Johnson, who was shooting just 35 percent in conference games before the CU game, made all five shots he tried to score 10 points. ANOTHER FACTOR in the rout was KU's full-court press. The Jayhawks had been using a man-to-man press recently, but they missed it. They lost to, and it baffled Colorado the entire game. Bill Blair, basketball coach, was impressed by the KU press but was unhappy with the coaching. "I DIDN'T expect them to press with two minutes to go, especially with a 40-point lead against a young team," he said. "Wouldn't you prefer a team that pressed years with a 40-point lead?" Owens, though, explained that the score don't make any difference in his team's stats. "It is the only way we play," he said. "It would have been unfair for me to ask our players who were in at the end of the game to play any other way."

Attendance: 14.130 Cornered Buffalo KU's Paul Mokeski (44) and Darnell Valentine (14) put some pressure on Colorado's 6-9 freshman center Dae Netherton during the Jayhawks' 55-56 romp over the Buffaloes Saturday night. The Jayhawks' pressure defense and zone press gave the Buffs fits all night. Kansas rolled to its sixth Conference victory with only one loss. Nebraska thrashes KU trackmen in Lincoln The KU track team does not often lose by 31 points. But it happened Saturday at the Nebraska Sports Complex in Lincoln, Neb., when the Huskers beat KU 86-55. STARTING FORWARD Cheryl Burnett input the minutes of victory over the miners of 48 hours before the penalties of 48 hours. Timmons' suspicions were confirmed when Nebraska won nine of 16 events, including sweeps in the 800 and the shot put. Nebraska also won first and second in the mile and the long jump and placed first and third in the 60-yard high hurdles and the four jump. Showing good balance, they placed at least two men in all events except four. "We took quite a thrashing up there," Bob Timmons, KU head coach, said yesterday. "We suspected they'd be tough before we made the trip and we were right." "Karen did a really fine job for us in the K-state Game," Washington said. "I wanted more quickness on the floor for that game so I started her. We had a lot of people hurt in the Baylor game and I was glad to see her come through for us." TIMMONS OFFERED no excuse for the apathetic defeat but said he was pleased with seismic activity. Burnett's injury forced Washington to insert junior guard Karnison into the lineup. The Jets' 56-29 victory Associate Sports Editor "Anthony (Coleman) and Cliff (Wiley) had great meetings," Timmons said, "and several others had personal beests. Some of their obverses ran best in they just ran a little better." "It it's definitely a good feeling," she said. "There's no question they responded to the challenge. They did a real fine job of getting mentally prepared to play." Kansas defeated archrival Kansas State the classic Saturday in Allen Field House. After an extended leave of absence, Lady Jayde wakes up to celebrate Lady Jayde's vocabulary this weekend. One of those events was the 60-yard high hurdles. Coleman qualified for the NCAA championships and set a personal record but finished second with a time of 7.2 seconds. He had won his last hurdles, however, and competing in the long jump for the first time, finished third. Another event in which a Jayhawk qualified for the NCAA meet and lost was the 600. Lester Mickens lost by eight yards of a second to NU's Scott Poohling. Kansas' victory was only the fifth in the Southern rivalry during back to 1986. But the price of victory was expensive for KU. "THAT WAS as good a race as I bought it would be," Timmons said. "From where I stood on the other side of the track, it looked about as close as a finish could look." Rv WALT BRAUN Lady Jayhawks win weekend tournament THE VICTORY was especially gratifying; for Marian Washington, KU women's basketball coach. Her team lost a Big Eight conference championship and vaults 68-45 at the int'l fieldhouse. Plagued with five defeats in their last seven starts, the 20th-ranked Lady Jayhawks put together back-to-back victories over Baylor and Kansas State to capture the third annual Lady Jayhawk Classic. JAMISON'S QUICKNESS resulted in two layups off court-length passes from V.C. Sanders and Lynette Woodard late in the first half. Wiley was KU's only double winner. finishing first in the 60-yard dash and the 300. His time of 6.0 in the set a Sports Complex record, and his 30.1 in the 300 is the best mark in the conference this year. Sports Writer By RODNEY ANDERSON Jamison said the transition from reserve to starter was difficult to make. Freshman Paul Schultz won the two-mile and improved his time by five seconds. His time of 8:56.02 is the Big Eight's best this year. Stan Whitaker, who qualified for the NCAA meet in the 440 three weeks ago with a time of 48.3, improved that time to 47.8 and won the race. "When you haven't been starting, it's tough to find out where you belong on the floor," she said. "I think the coach meted me and I didn't want to let her down. KU'S OTHER victories came in the 1,000- vard run and the pole vault. The 1,000 produced the most points for KU. Rick Ensz finished first and Glenn Harter second. Enss's winning time of 2:12.0, his best this year, is within 1.5 seconds of the NCAA qualifying time of 2:10.5. Frank Angelole's 15.4 % lae in the pole vault gave KU its only victory in field hockey against Texas. triple jump, and Jay Reardon, hampered by a swollen ankle, took second in the high **WOODARD LED** the Lady Jayhawks, winning 31 points and grading 35 rebounds. Judy Akers, K-State basketball coach, said the Wildcats lacked intensity on defense and failed to execute well on offense. "We made several runs at them but we couldn't get close enough to make the runs" "It's good to know I can come in and put the team in second gear." "They were ready to play; it was that simple." Kansas State, who has been cursed with injuries, played without starters Lauri Miller and Margo Jones. Together they average 21 points a game. "WE PLAYED the entire ballgame without our two best players." Oga Fallen, Baylor basketball coach, said. "On top of that, we had a lid on the basket." The victories raised the KU record to 13-6. In the Baylor contest, the Lady Jayhaws took advantage of first-half fouls by the Bearettes' high scoring duo of Karen Aulenbacher and Carol Reeves. Both sat out most of the first half with four fouls. Baylor dropped the consolation game to Nevada-135 versus 80. Baylor is 16-3 and 5-2 in the series. THE WILD CATS, who stunned previously unbeaten Nevada-Las Vegas 89-62 Friday, were led by Beth Boggs, who scored 14 points.

Arkema won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:46.08. "I FELT pretty good about the meet," Spahn said. "Some of our times weren't really outstanding but we just drove down there and swam. We didn't even have time to stretch; we just got in and started running. It wasn't really a fast pool either." Spain, KU men's swimming coach, was still pleased with the team's effort. Rich Jenkins, Jeld Blankenship, Bill Crampleton and Jay Kerusit won the 400 yard medley in 3:37.89. Kerusit also won the 500 yard freestyle in 4:48.24.
