Injuries affect teams
By RODNEY ANDERSON
Sports Writer
If the saying, "Missery loves team," is true, the University of Kansas and Kansas State University women's basketball teams have a lot in common.
Both teams have been fighting sickness and injury while preparing for tonight's Kansas Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women conference clash. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 tonight in Allen Field House.
Just when it seemed the Lady Jayhawks were recovering from injuries and several cases of flu that they encountered on their recent trip East, they took a step backwards and lost the services of two key players for tonight's game.
ACCORDING TO Jacqueline King, women's athletic trainer, Adrian Mitchell and Syan Chlystek are doubtful starters for the conference game with the Wildcats.
Mitchell, 5-9 junior center, is suffering from the fl. Chlystek, 5-10 freshman forward, twisted her left knee in practice earlier this week.
Freshman Lynette Woodard, who suffered an injury to her left thigh in the Lady Jayhawks' loss to Rutgers last month, has responded well to treatment and will start, KU coach Marian Washington said yesterday.

that's what happens when one of your players is out." Washington said. "We'll be hampered, but that's just something we have to live with."

Those injured are: Margo Jones, who suffered a broken finger in the Wildcats' loss to Kansas in the semifinals of the Big Eight Tournament; junior forward Laurie Miller, who also was injured in that game; sophomore guard Timmy Wheeler, who had a knee injury; and freshman Tammi Romstad, who has not played because of a knee injury.
AKERS SAID THAT Miller would make her first start since the injury to her knee. She said that Jones would make the trip but might not play.
Despite the Wildcats injuries, Washington said, KU would not take them lightly. The Wildcats are 9-11 and have lost five of their last six games.
**BACKGROUND**
K-State will rally to the challenge of being the only Washington said, used as an example in the news.
She said the Wildcats played patiently on offense and worked to get high-percentage shots. She said the Wildcats ran a pattern offense, and, because of their current injury situation, did not have the personnel to stay with the Kansas' running game.
"WE HAVE BETTER overall quickness, and if we can control the boards, we should control the game," she said. "If the Wildcats aren't in the lane with us, they're in big trouble."
Akers said the Lady Jayhawk's potent defensive defense would pose problems for the team.
"If they force us into turnovers, then we're going to lose a lot of points," Akers said. "They're a very good basketball team. They're also a very tough to beat them on their home court."
Washington said that the adrenaline would be running high on both squads, but that KU's quickness and poise would be the difference in the game.
"WELL WE HAMPERED by injuries, but we're optimistic about our goal to win the conference. We'll be a step in that direction with a win tonight. Our team wants to beat K-State; there's no question about it." Washington said.

Star guard quits Buffs
BULDER, Colo. (AP)—Emmett Lewis, leading scoring of the University of Colorado basketball team last season, has quit the squad, head coach Bill Blair has announced.
Lewis, who led the Big Eight Conference in scoring last season with a 19.6 average, informed Blair of his decision Monday night.
"I hate to see this happen," Blair said, but "we ask that a player just give us his best shot. Emmett had been struggling this year, and we gave him every chance." He
The junior guard from Gary, Ind., had not started every game this season and was averaging only 12.8 per game. He was eight games against a night'sriday night game against Oklahoma State.
Lewis had scored 1,136 points in his career—the fifth-best in CU basketball history. His 529 points during the 1976-77 season were the fourth best in school history.
Portland blasts hapless Kings
Kansas City, led by Richard Washington, cut the deficit to 16 points early in the fourth quarter, but Portland outsided the Kings and ensured two minutes to take a 102-78 lead.
