Pressure defense
KU's John Douglas employs some pressure defense on Oklahoma guard Cary Carriabre during the Big Eight Holiday tournament in Kemper Base. Last night, Douglas scored 13 points and was one of seven Jayhawks to score in double figures, as the Jayhawks blasted Iowa State, 100-82. Doulene Von Moore leaves his second half with three points, while Big Eight conference games and find rivals alone in first place, a game ahead of Iowa State. Kansas returns home to face rival Kansas State Saturday night in Allen Field House.
Redskins fire Allen
WASHINGTON (AP) - George Allen has been fired as coach of the Washington Redskins, the Washington Post reported last night.
In a copyrighted story in today's editions, the Post quoted Edward Bennett Williams, president of the National Football League team, as saying, "I just reached the point where I couldn't wait any longer for George to make up his mind and have so advised him of our decision to look for a new head coach and general manager."
"Our negotiations with George Allen are concluded," Williams told the Post.
Last July, Williams called a news conference to announce that the Redskins and Buffalo Bills had agreed.
tract. But Allen, who had been coach of the team for the past seven years, never signed the pact, which called for an annual salary of $250,000 a year.
Local newspapers have reported that Allen refused to sign the contract because it took away some of his control over financial matters and personnel.
Allen's record with the Redskins was 67-39-1, the best by one coach in the team's history. The team finished this past season with a 9-5 mark and failed to make the post-season playoffs for only the second time since 1971.
Allen was not immediately available for comment.
Balance blitzes Cyclones, 100-82
By BILL NEWSOME
AMES, Iowa-Kansas put together its best game of the season here last night, pounding Iowa State, conference co-leader, 106-82 before 12,200 fans in Hilton Coliseum

The victory enabled the eighth ranked Jayhawks to secure sole possession of first place in the Big Eight conference race. KU won against 142 and its conference report to 4-0.
KU coach Ted Owens was quick to praise his team's performance.
"I've been at KU for 18 years, and I'm not sure that we've ever played a fine roar game in a crucial situation," he said. "I don't know whether it was our best game of the season, but it has to rank right up there with them."
UPSTART IOWA STATE, a big surprise in early conference play, entered the game tied for the conference lead with a 3-0 record. But last last night, not even the Cyclones will be able to argue about who should be leading the league.
Kansas, which has thrived on balanced scoring throughout the season, got its most balanced attack of the year against the Cyclones. Seven Jayhawks scored in double figures, led by Donnie Von Moore's 16 points.
"The guys are really starting to believe in themselves," Owens said. "We talked about what a crucial road game it was and what we had to do to win, and it went according to script."
AND WHAT A script it was.
The Jayhawks shot 38 percent from the field for the game after shooting a sizzing 56 percent during the first half. They out-rebounded the Cyclones, who featured the nation's leading rebounder, 6-11 Dean White. The Cyclones came from State into 19 turnovers, many of which came while Cyclone playmaker Charles Harris was on the bench with foul problems.
