Patterson looks for good show in front of hometown crowd
By PAM CLARK Sports Writer
The pressures of starting on the country's tenth-ranked women's basketball team can be immense. Having to perform well every game can be almost unbeatable.
But Kansas? Kathy Patterson had a taste of what it's like and would gladly trade her seat on the bench to any of the Javhwk starters.
Patterson, a transfer from Hutchinson college, started his KU's games last season and earned a 3 senior point guard was relegated to the bench to accommodate Leyton Woodley's start.
SO WHEN KU plays at Wichita State tonight, Patterson will perform before her home town crowd in a different role than in the past—a reserve.
A native of Maize, seven miles northwest Wichita, Patterson will have plenty of friends and opportunities on. But their opportunity to voice their support depends on KU coach Marian Koch.
As a starter last year, Patterson averaged about 20 minutes of game time. This season she's usually one of the first to off the bench and is averaging 14 minutes.
"I just hope I get to play," she said. "A bunch of my friends will be there. But
starting's not everything. It's not important to start as long as I can help the team."
PATTERSON HAS A reputation as a team player. That attitude is reflected when she talks about her adjustment going from starter to reserve.
"It a little bit harder to get up for a game," Patterson said. "When you're a starter, you know you're going to get in." You have to be ready to do any time.
"I have to accept not being a starter. I could come off the bench with a good attitude or I could come off with a bad attitude. But the only person that would hurt
would be myself."

As one of only two seniors on the squad, Patterson admitted that the role as a reserve has hampered her ability to take a leadership role.
"IT MAKES IT harder to come off the bench and have a lot of confidence in yourself and have everybody else on the bench." And you know, "And it is difficult to play with the starters when you practice with the other girls. But make them big and bring of girls and that makes it easier."
But Patterson is the type of player who makes the game easier. She always encourages her teammates, is quick, plays tough pressure defense and is not immune to diving to the floor for hoops. She helps teammates pass off a teammate for an easy basket.
"Being the shortest one on the team made us feel like we were all in debt of rebounds," Patterson said. "She (Washington) picks tall players that you get rebounds急急急. If I was a little bit nervous, you felt like we were all in debt of rebounds."
"FOR MY SIZE, I couldn't expect to nlav at any better school."
Patterson may be right. The Jayhawks are 2-34 this year and have already defeated Wichita State, 13-11, once this season.

Tankers split dual meets
It was business as usual Sunday afternoon in Robinson Natatorium. Members of the KU men's swimming team swam their teams, and Bill Spain looked on, his tobacco刀.
Less than 12 hours earlier, the Jayhawks had returned from a weekend split in duals with Nebraska and Minnesota.
The loss to Minnesota, however, was not the reason Spahn's team was in back in the pool. The Jayhawks had more important things on their minds.
On Friday, the Jayhawks defeated Nebraska for the second time this year, 69-44. But it was a different story on Saturday as the 'Hawks lost to Minnesota 72-41.
"We lost several close races," Spahn said. "Minnesota is a good team though. There is no doubt about that."
Spain said that before the meet he knew the Jayhawks would have a tough time with Minnesota. A traditionally strong Big Ten team also showed special incentive to swim well at all games.
"IF WE HAD RESTED for Minnesota and changed our workouts, it could have been closer, but we don't want to sacrifice them." Eight just in time to win a dual match. "Staath said."
"THE WAS THEIR last dual meet of the season, and their coach's last meet ever," Spahn said. "They were extra prepared. We obviously caught them at a very bad time."
The Jayhawks' performance on Saturday was not without some bright spots.

Eight record in the 200-yard backstroke. His performance will not be counted as a record, however, because it was not in a Big Eight meet.
Gateway to a great way of life.
The Jayhawks could have made up some ground against Minnesota in the 200-yard butterfly, but their two swimers in that game were both doubled, both false started and were disqualified.
THE JAYHAWKS defeated the Gophers in several events. Bob Vince won the 1,000 freestyle and Steve Graves took the 200 individual medley and the 200 breaststroke. The freestyle relay team of Brian Collins, Freddie McKay, Brent Barnes and John Amieler were
"There is a great mental strain swimming for three days in the Big Eight meet," Spahn said. "I want to keep them loose and feeling good, I want them to be read."
The Jayhawks will continue heavy workouts for one more week and then taper off to get ready for the Big Eight meet.
Spain said he believed his team was on the right track for having another successful Big Eight meet. KU is seeking its third straight conference championship.

but, if there is a weakness in the KU attack, it is diving. The best performance a Jayhawk could manage against a KNU diver is by Kurt Anselmi in the three-meter event.
THE JAYHAWKS MINDS really haven't been on dual meets lately. Their main concern is the Big Eight meet, being held in Lincoln, Neb. March 6-8.

"I was pleased with the way we swam," Spahn said. "But I don't like to lose, especially to a team that we think we have a chance to beat."
Everything You Want-
Nebraska's Steve Elliot, the Big Eight's best diver, once again gave KU divers more than they could handle, winning both the one-and-three-meter event.
But the Jayhawks had no problems with Nebraska, again trouncing the Cornhuskers.
"We're too far along and too close to the Big Eight to change anything." Snabb said.
"We did just what we had to do to win the meet." Spahn said. "We were a little more concerned with the loss to Minnesota. We participated particularly well against Nebraska."
