Marian Washington, KU women's basketball coach, must be wondering what she can do to bring the Lady Jayhawks out of their current slump.
The Lady Jayhawks dropped their fourth game in the first six outings last night, allowing a rival K-State.
Joe Namath calls it quits
"I WAS trying to play for an overtime," Washington said. "If she (Mitchell) did not make that second free throw we were going to foul intentionally."
The Lady Jayhawks 11-6 overall and 11-1 in Kansas. The Coyotes scored the game on three shots and poor defense.
But Washington said after the game she had told the team to play for a tie game and lost.
Eileen Feey scored 14 first-half points, including the first eight points of the game, to give Kansas State early control of the lead in the field with shot 51 percent from the field in that half.
Leading 38-26 at halftime, the Wildcats allowed Kansas to jump in front, 52-41, on a jump shot by Cheryl Burnett with 10:08 left in the game.
PHOENIX AP-Joe Wille Namath, whose frolicking lifestyle was a standard for some and whose quarterbacking talent was outstanding, has retired from professional football.
Beth Boggs converted another free throw on Lynette Woodard's fifth foul with 54 seconds remaining in the game to give the Wildcats the margin of victory.
KU and K-State traded baskets for the next seven minutes, then a free throw by Sara Hackerock with 3:26 left put the Wildcats ahead to stay, 65-64.
Pressed for further comment by the mob of reporters, Namath appeared exasperated and said: "Why can't we just leave it like that?' I'm finished. I quit."
**DONNYS HAD** A chance to tie the game with twelve seconds left when KU center, and one second after that, two free throws on a two-shot rebound. A KA-stander defender grabs the rebound, but lost the ball with 8 seconds left. Susan Chystke's team had with two seconds left fell short, and time ran out.
"We allowed their shooters time to shoot the ball," Washington said. "Feeney is a
K-State coach Judy Akers called a time out after Mitchell made her first foul shot. She instructed her players to be aware of an intentionally missed shot.
"This is official. I told Dane Anderson, New York Times columnist, last night," Narnath said to a crowd of media people. "He's been great to me, but it is time to move on."
Namath, 34, confirmed his retirement from the National Football League at an airport mob scene of reporters and broadcasters Wednesday, following a disappointing farewell season with the Los Angeles Rams.
Namath said Tuesday night that his plans were indefinite.
Namath flew here for a celebrity golf tournament. American Airlines, sponsor of the tournament, had said Namath would hold a news conference Wednesday, but before his arrival, the airline announced the conference would be postponed one day.
"I'm solid financially," he said, "I want to keep busy because I always like to be busy."
As he was rushing through the terminal, Namath was asked when he would comment at length about his departure from football. "Some other time, some other place." he
After being waived last May by the New York Jets, his team for 12 high publicized years, Nnamath wallowed on the Ram bench for an injurious final season.
Namath说 he didn’t think he’d return to football as a coach, but didn’$ rule out possible ownership—if the league ever expanded to Birmingham, Ala.
