KU received a bueh in the first round yesterday. Missouri defeated Pittsburg and Central Missouri defeated UMSI, 74-63; Wisconsin State squeaked by Wichita State 22-0.
The top three teams in the sub-regional advance to the regional tournament March 6-8 at Drake University in Des Moines, but KU coach Marian Washington said the team that finished fourth in the sub-regional was a good shot at a large-deliberate in regions.
"Generally speaking, I feel it's not aormen for you to represent region," she said. "The top three will go automatically, but that fourth place team will have to be seriously concerned."
This is the first year for a sub-regional. In the last two years, it was unf�£tical. There are two large-equiped teams for the Region VI tournament. This year, the region has been divided into six areas and a south-east team was formed.
Washington said she did not like the new method.
"IT POSES TOO MANY opportunities for
Along with having played K-State three times, he have defeated Missouri three times. Wichita and Central Missouri once. And there is a good possibility that KU will meet Wizertown.
teams to play each other too many times," she said. "I don't want to have to see KState and Missouri five times in a season. It's not fair to the kids."
But first KU has to get by K-State, which hasn't been the easiest task this season.
Kansas embarrassed the 'Cats in their first meeting this season, winning 85-60 in the championship game of the Jayhawk Classic Jan. 26.
In that game, KU's Lynette Woodard, Shebra Rlegant and Megan Scott铲仲KState inside when the "ats" 63 center, Tammie Rommstad, got in foul trouble.
Two nights later, the foul situation was reversed and Romstad was the hero of the game for K-State, hitting a short jump shot with 11 remaining seconds at a 64-76 victory.
FOUR NIGHTS AGO in Manhattan, KU lost to K-State for the second time in a row.
61-52. Perhaps the Hawks were tired—it's hard to tell. They had perhaps they were trying too hard to win. In any case, KU played poorly and practically 31 turnovers to KState'14. a
K State has momentum going into its game tonight, but that may not be enough. The Hawks have proven this year that they are a team tournament.
In Texas at the beginning of the season, KU finished third in the Queen's Classic. They just missed reaching the finals, but dropped a 78-76 decision to Louisiana Tech, the nation's No. 2 team last year. The team's victory over Missouri in the consolation game, 106-75,
KU finished second in the Orange Bowl Classic over Christmas, losing to Rutgers, who is ranked ahead of the 'Hawks in the top 20. 65-60.
AT THE BIG EIGHT tournament in
ATLOMA, Mo., in January, KU played its best game of the season in dropping Mizzou in the championship game 86-80.
A pumped-up Mizzou squad played well and was cheered on by a very vocal partisan
crowd of more than 2,000. But Woodard, Legrant and Mason got the KU fast break going and left the Tufts behind.
In the Jayhawk Classic, KU nearly lost to New Mexico in the first round but escaped with a 61-58 victory. The next night, however, the 'Hawks routed K-State.
Alkough the "Cats have pulled out two emotional victories over KU, KState coach Lynn Hickey that said pulling it off again will be tough.
"There's a good chance we'll have to meet again," she said. "And there's no telling which way it will go."
Washington is confident that being on a neutral court will be an advantage for KU. She isn't worried about K-State's two triumphs over KU.
"WE BEAT OURSELFS!" she said after the latest loss. "It will be important to get on a neutral court. We'll be able to protect themselves better before they get in real foul trouble."
"The next two ball games are important in terms of our own play. It's a matter of working on our own game."
pressure damage and running its opponents dryly on offense. K-State's zone defense forced the Hawks out of their offense the moment before it broke loose again.
KU's game is playing tough man-to-man
The Kansas players have not been pleased with their play against the "Cats and are looking for a win. If they do win, they will face Missouri or Central Missouri in the finals.
"We've worked real hard in practice this week," Washington said. "I'm optimistic about our chances.
*Experience is a part of it. We have so many new people. There are only two that I want to hear from. We are beginning of new people who are young and are beginning to recognize their importance at this level.*
"I’S TUERNMATTE TIME, we have 30
games behind us and we have to realize how
important each game from here on out will be.
"We have to be willing to stay with our own game plan. And we have to have the willingness to go out there and give everyone we have."
Gymnastics a family affair with Foerchs

Brad and Steve Foerch are all-around KU gymnasts from Homewood, Ill. Beyond that they have few things in common.

KU coach Ken Snow said. "I just hope we can stay that way."
"We grew up in the gym," Brad said. "Dad used to coach with a baby in one arm and a kid in the other."
The men are taking the weekend off to prepare for the Big Eight tournament March 7-8 in Ames, Iowa.
The Foerch's father is the coach at Michigan and he was a high school Homewood. He was captain of the Michigan State gymnastics team during his college days, and was 14th in the 1952 U.S. Olympic team.
"It may be our last meet of the year." Blae Foore, a junior all-around gymnast, said. "Everyone is going all out."

"He was a little super-critical of us," Steve said. "At least no one ever complained of favoritism."
The KU women's gymnastics team competes in the Kansas State Invitational tournament tomorrow at 1 p.m. in Robinson gymnasium.
The Foerch du at KU may soon become a trio. A younger brother, Doug, is one of the top gymmasts in Illinois and a senior in high school.
"Everyone is healthy for a change."
"KANASS HAS AN inside edge in recruitment, him." Brad said, "but he's wanted by a lot of other schools. He won't want to be taken for granted."
SOME OF BRAD'S enthusiasm for KU rubbed off on Steve when it came time for him to decide where he wanted to compete.
The atmosphere at KU swayed Brad when it came time for him to choose a college to attend.
"if he wants to come here, it will be for the same reasons Brad and I did." Steve said.
"I was very impressed the first time I visited the campus," Brad said. "KU is an excellent state school. It's away from home, and it's warm and are warm and the recreation was first class."
"Brad was part of the reason I chose KU." Steve said. "The campus had a lot to do with it, but I also wanted to compete in the Big Eight."
Steve wanted to compete in the Big Eight because it is the toughest gymnastics conference in the nation. The top three nations in this competition, their pinnings will probably be Iowa State, Oklahoma and Nebraska, in any order. But he was confident that KU could become a gymnastics contender.
"To be competitive in the Big Eight, we need two things: a respected coach to get recruits, and money to build a program. We halfway there with Ken," Brad said.
KEN IS KEN SUN, who took over as men's gymnastics coach this season. He was subsequently greeted with a rash of scars and injuries in poor team showings for KU this season.
Injuries are part of gymnastics, according to the Foerchs.
"Ken has not been given a fair shake," Brad said. "He can't take responsibility for our injuries."

Baseball begins Saturday against William Jewell
The squad held its first workout at Quincey after a berry day, and they smoothed out the day. Although the cool weather caused the players discomfort during batting practice, the team was ready to play.
The Jayhawks are scheduled to open their 91st season of intercollegiate baseball with a double-header against William Jewell College at 1:30 p.m.
"IT'S GOOD TO BE back out here," Temple said. "It's especially good for our pitchers to be working off a real mound. We need to play a couple of games."
The only thing that could prevent the games from being played now would be the
snow and rain that weathermen are predicting for the weekend.
Temple said his starting pitcher in the first game tomorrow would be Clayton Fleeman. He expected to work four other pitches during the twinnib.
Fleman will be followed to the ground by Watt, David Hicks, Jim Philips and Adcathode. Temple said he had not decided how much work each pitcher would get.
"THEY ALL NEED work," Temple said. "They don't need the fact that he is one of our veteran pitcheres. He may go five innings or I may say he up three, three and one. I believe."
Temple won't set his startling rotation after the games Saturday. That question won't be answered until the Jayhawks begin their trip south, which begins next Friday.
