UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Sports Roundup
ISU tumblers rival
University of Kansas men's gymnastics coach Bob Lockwood is a believer in his training.
After the Jayhawks posted their first score of more than 200 points in an intrasquad meet Wednesday, Lockwood telephoned Ed Gaginer, Iowa State's gymnastics coach, yesterday to issue a deadline for his meet at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Ames, Iowa.
"I told Ed we were coming up to Ames to win. 'Lockwood said, "We're excited about this.""
THE JAYHAWKES have plenty to get excited about because the young Kansas squad will meet the O. 1 team in the nation. The Jayhawks are ranked 22nd.
A team's highest score of the season is used as a basis for the rankings. Every college and university in the nation that has mathematics team is eligible to make the rankings.
The meet is Kansas 'first since the Rocky Mountain Open, Dec. 9-10 in Colorado Springs. But the five-week vacation from competition has not dampened Lockwood's
KANSAS AND IOWA State have met on one other occasion this season, at the Big Eight Invitational in Lawrence, which the Cyclones won. KU finished fourth.
"I don't consider that a disadvantage," he said. "Already this semester, we've thrown four meet-like events in order to prepare for competition."
The Cyclones met defending Big Eight champion and NCAA co-champion Oklahoma earlier this month and the Sooners won handily.
But despite the Cyclones 'showing in the
nation,' they've regarded Iowa
States as the best team in the nation.
"Iowa State is ranked an easy No. 1," they said. "They are undefeated in dual competition and have won every open meet this year. They're an excellent team."
Women set records
Four KU women's track records and four Allen Field House records were broken in the intrasquad meet held yesterday in Allen Field House.
Lori Lowry set a KU and field house record in the 60-yard hurdles with a time of 8.3. She broke her record of 8.4, which she set last month.
Charmine Kuhlman, set a KU and field house record in the long jump with a jump of 17.9. Kuhlman also set a field house record in the 440, running in f 59.7.
In the closest and most exciting race of the meet, Michelle Brown set a KU record in the mile run with a time of 5:08. Finishing right behind Brown was Cary McMillan at
Karen Fitz, set a KU record in the two-mile run with a time of 11:35.
In the 60-yard dash the first place finisher
was Sheila Calmine with a time of seven qualified for the national indicator麦mee
Gym meet boxed in
A strange situation exists around a dual meet between the University of Kansas women's gymnastics team and the University of Minnesota, for p.m. tomorrow in Robinson Gymnasmus.
The meet is scheduled 30 minutes before the KU-Kansas State men's basketball game across the street in Allen Field House, in Knoxville, Al. In Snow, women's gymnastics coach at KU
Snow said that he originally wanted to schedule the meet early in the afternoon to avoid the conflict with the men's game. He said that NU had a meet the night before when he was director refused to schedule the meet with him unless Snow moved the meet to 7 p.m.
"I knew it would create problems when we had to schedule the meet of the KU-KState game. 'Snow said.' But we needed to schedule it rather than race them at gymnasies that打篮球 anyway."
All things considered, the Jayhawks will have their work cut out for them.
Snow said from all reports he had received, the Cornhuskers were at least comparable to Southwest Missouri State. The Jayawards drained a dual meet to SMS 129.7-113.15, last Friday in Robinson Gymnasium.
The undefeated Kansas women's swim team will be tested again tomorrow in a rain event, which had originally been scheduled as the University of Missouri Invitation, will be held.
Swim record tested
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State had planned to attend the Invitational but snowy conditions have forced them to drop out of competition. Yesterday it was decided that beard must be held instead between Kansas, Missouri, Iowa state and Stephens College.
Marian Washington, KU women's basketball coach, probably does not realize it, but her 20-hour-ranked Lady Jayhawks have the first conference opponents running retired.
Wichita team leery
The opponent is Wichita State University and the game is at 7:30 tonight in Allen Field
Wichita State, with a win-loss record of 4-10 for the year, has won only two games on the road. Five freshmen and three sohomores play for the team.

There's more than state pride at stake tomorrow night when the red-hot Kansas Jayhawks face the struggling Kansas State Wildcats.
By GARY BEDORE Sports Editor
The streaking Jayhawks, 4-0 in conference play, will be three games ahead of the Wildcats if they win. Kansas State is 2-2 in Bie Eight play.

The game, which is sold out, is scheduled to start at 7:40 p.m.
"They are almost impossible to match up with." Hartman said. "Look at what they have done against everybody. They are so deep in talent that you don't know which player is going to string you next. Kansas has only played itself into the driver's seat."
THE JAYHAWKS, ranked eighth nationally, have won their last seven games in a row. Their latest victory was a 100-82 dribbling of Iowa State at Ames Wednesday night.
Jack Hartman, head basketball coach at K-State, says he realizes the game's importance but knows that lately it has been impossible to beat the Jayhawks.
Kansas has the momentum and a friendly crowd to look forward to going into the game, but Ted Owens, head basketball at KU, does not expect an easy victory.
"Mike Eveins and Curtis Redding are the finest players in the country," Owens said. "In my opinion, that makes Kansas capable of beating anyone on a given day."
Curtis Redding
"NATURALLY THIS is an important game for both teams. A loss at home would hurt our title chances, and at the same time we would have to make up for its loss at home to Nebraska."
Redding and Evans have credentials to back up Owens' statement. Evans, a b-1, 7-10-guard, scored 27 points Wednesday night in Oklahoma State.
Going into last night's team, Evans gegen the Russian National team, Evans needed 54 points to become the Big Eight's all-time scoring leader. After three conference games, Evans placed fourth in league scores, averaging 20 points a game.
Kansas has had success containing Evans. Evans has been held to an average of 14.2 points. Clint Johnson, who has often been ranked in the guard and the guard well below his scoring average.
Owens said Ken Koenigs would probably guard Redding.
"We'll have to do a good job of limiting Evans and Redding to high percentage shots," Owens said. "We have to prevent something like a 14-for-16 shooting night."
Coaches Hartman and Owens have a friendly rivalry going into the game. Owens has a 17-15 lifetime record against K-State and Hartman is 10-8 against the Jayhawks.
REDDING, A 6-5, 205-pound sophomore from Brooklyn, had a 21-point average after three conference games, making him third in the league in scoring. Redding has given the Jayhawks headaches in his short career. Kansas held Redding to 16 points in its 69-64 loss against No. 39. In the Big Eight preseason tournament this year, but last season Redding twice scored 27 points against Kansas. In another game he scored 34.
