Fordham's Tyrone Holloway gets caught behind KU freshman Darmell Valentine in a recent game at Allen Field House.
Valentine, who averaging 10 points will start his third game in a row tonight against the Knights of Fairleigh Dickinson.
Women's team to seek sixth win
To Marian Washington, KU women's football team, you win or lose but how you play the game.
That philosophy has carried Washington's Jayhawks to a 5-1 start, their best start in the nine-year history of women's basketball at Kansas. The Jayhawks will be looking for their sixth win against Claremont Junior High (Iowa), at 9:18 o'clock in Allen Field House.
“It’s important how we play,” Washington said. “Of course we like to win but we’re going to have to execute well and win our conference later in the season.”
THE JAYHAWKS have won five of their six games, including four on the road. Their team was held out by the Huskies.
Wayland Baptist College (Texas), last Saturday 72-71.
One of the reasons for Kansas' early success has been the play of freshman Lynette Woodard, who is the squad's leading scorer and rebounder.
"She's a team player and she's a winner," Washington said. "Her defense is coming along and she is turning into a fine offensive player."
Woodward has scored an average of 25.5 points a game. She also has grabbed 88 of the team's rebounds.
The Jayhawks also lead their opponents in personal fouls, a fact Washington, an advocate of fast break basketball, attributed to her team's quickness and aggressiveness.
AS A TEAM, the Jayhawks have averaged 82.1 points a game while holding their opponents to 59.6 points. Kansas also scores in rebounding and field goal percentage.
"We're not frightened at all when we're down by a few points," she said. "We're not afraid to play anybody. We are winners and we believe we can beat any team, barring our opponents make on our own. We respect our opponents and we going to go after them touch."
Washington echeed a similar strategy for tonight's game against the Claremont Mustangs.
"We expect to rattle them with our player-to-player defense and create some turnovers," she said. "You can bet that we'll be running and you can bet we will be aggressive."

Owens said Von Moore's playing had been a key for KU's early-season success.
The Knights are a sound defensive team, according to Owens. Last year Fairleigh Dickinson won the championship.
"Fairleigh Dickinson's coach is a fine defensive coach," Owens said, "You can be sure that they are a solid, fundamental team."
Ken Webb, a 6-8 freshman, is second to Jorgensen in both categories, averaging 12.5 points per game.

The Kansas Jayhawks will go after win number five tonight against lightly-playing Kansas State. The biggest problem might be looking past the Knights to Saturday's game against Ken-
Tip-off for tonight's game is 7;35.
Von Moore is content with his role of being a substitute.
Kansas is also getting solid performances from its bench, particularly from Donnie Von Moore and Johnson. Von Moore, who is averaging 13.5 points, came off the bench Monday night to score a career-high 22 points. Johnson is averaging 8.3 points a game.
The Jayhawks, 4-0 and tied with St. John's for 15th in the country in the United Press International college basketball poll, must get by Fairleigh Dickinson before turning their thoughts to number-one ranked Kentucky.
Kansas coach Ted Owens is not overly concerned that his team might be looking
THE JAYHAWKS continue to get balanced scoring, with all five starters averaging in double passes to the Jayhawks and averages. Mokesi is scoring 14.3 points a game and freshmen guards Fowler and Chipping in an average of 10 points a game.
"OUR PLAYERS have their feet on the ground pretty well." Owens said. "We are aware that any team is capable of beating us if we're not prepared."
Clinton Johnson, who came off the bench to score 12 points in Monday's win over Texas, has earned a nod.
"It's hard to look past any team with the team we've got," Johnson said. "If the first stringer doesn't play well, then someone else will come in and get us going."
Owens also will have the job of getting the Jayhawks, who are averaging 18.3 points a game, mentally prepared to play the Nets to West Virginia, 85-50, and to Nassau, 65-40.
for the third game in a row, Owens will send out Ken Koenigs, Paul Mokeski, John Douglas, Wilmore Fowler and Darnell Valentine for the open tip.

"OUR PLAYERS are mature," Owens said. "As an example, the players are motivated for practice, and if you are a coach, you want to get up for a game, regardless who you play."
Owens, who was undecided on his startling twoway move ago, is becoming more and more adept at this.
