Kansas falls to raging Tigers and Antlers
By MIKE EARLE
Sports Editor
COLOMBIA, Mo.—There are always explanations why a basketball team loses, and Kansas' are always the same.
After being routed by the 19th-century Missouri Tigers 86-85 at Saturday, it was the time-honored explanation of poor shot defense in an early deficit doing the Jawdaws in.
Ku fell behind by 14 points with 12:30 left in the first half and was forced to play catchup the rest of the game, something the 'Hawks are used to this season.
"MOURSI I is too good a team to be behind that far to," KU coach Ted Owens said after the game. "I'm sick of saying it, but I think it's early in the game and had bad shot selection."
Something else that has probably made Owens sick lately is seeing opposing centers almost single-handedly destroy KU.
In the last three games, the opponents' centers have scored 88 points, 79 more than Kansas' centers combined.
OWEN TRIED FOUR centers to try to
win. Missouri's freshman Jake
Missouri's sophomore Peyton
powered by hitting in 10 11 shots from
the field and making 9 of 10 free throw at-
tacks.
"We wanted to get an early jump on them and make them play defense." Stipanovich
said. "After losing to them in Lawrence we wanted to go out there and kill them."
"Any time you get an early lead, some teams get down. We knew KU would get down."
Another aspect of the game that got the Hawks down was the officiating. KU was whistled for 29 fouls when Johnsson had 20. He was sent to Johnston. John Crawford and Kelly Knight nuked out.
"STIPANOVI IS A good player, but a felt the officials protected him." Crawford said. "I couldn't even front him or they'a call a foul."
"You have to adjust to the officials in each game, but today all you had to do was square up with Stipanovich and they'd call a foul."
Art Housey, who held Stipanovich to 10 points when the teams played in Lawrence, echoed Crawford's assessment.
"I don't want to take anything away from *Siwanovitch* because he's a good center," Holmes said. "If the referees let us play, Today. I get好 defensive position and they'd call pushing
"NORODY APPRECIATES being criticized, but I feel like I deserve part of the blame. I didn't contribute and help out like the last time we played Missouri."
KU hasn't been able to play the way it is capable of in most games this season. Missouri stretched its first-half lead to 20

"The refs affected us a little, but we didn't

points with 3.38 left before intermission. But the Hawks trimmed the deficit to 17 at half, 45-28.
The 'Hawks shot 34 percent from the field, while the Tigers, who lead the nation in field goal shooting accuracy with a 37 percent mark, hit 88 percent in the first half.
THE HAWKS BATTLED to within nine points with 6:30 left to play. But the Tigers outscored KU 14-14 in the three minutes, with 14 hopes of a further Jaihawk comeback.
"We made a run at them in the second round," he said, as he turned turmers that hurt us. After that, we just spotted them too many points. We needed to get the lead to control the tempo of the game.
keep its title hopes alive and raise its overall record to 18-4.
The loss dropped KU to sixth place in the Big Eight with a 4-6 record and 10-2 overall. Missouri improved its league mark to 7-3 to
DESPITE THE lap-sided margin of victory, the game did have some interesting incidents.
With 13:48 left to play, Darnell Valentine and Missouri's Curtis Berry drew for a loose ball. Valentine was assessed a technical fault before the ball could be or allegedly trying to kick Berry in the head.
But Valentine dispute the call, saying he was just trying to get his leg out of Berry's grip. Berry, meanwhile, said he wasn't mistreated that be nevertheless felt "mistreatened."
Immediately after the technical was called, Owens trotted to the KU locker room leaving the crowd, his team and assistant manager wondering about his sudden disappearance.
OWENS RETURNED about 90 seconds later, and after the game explained that he had been feeling nausitized since Thursday's game in New York City.
"I must be getting a bug or something," he said.
to add to Owens' woes was the vocal sellout crowd of 12,700, the largest in Missouri basketball history and the first to head Hearnes arena since it opened in 1972.
Spurring the crowd on was a group of fanatic Missouri basketball fans known as
"WE HAD *Fired Ted Wensals* last year but it looks like people took too seriously," an Antler spokesman said. "We need him to keep around. His our sixth man."
"The Antlers." Before the game the group held a "Save Ted Owens Rally."
"Being 10-12 is no fun," a detector said after the game. "Right now our only hope is winning the post-season tournament and getting into the NCAAs.
Although Owens' playing status is 30 years in the past, he got an exceptional game from his sixth man. Ricky Rose. He scored 17 points and was half and finished the game with 17 points.
"WE'VE GOT TOO much going for us to give up. We've got to be more patient at the start of each game. That's our main challenge. We're doing the start of each game and move the ball a great distance."

Women's team keeps on rolling
By PAM CLARK

In case you hadn't noticed, the news about KU basketball hasn't been all this bad. While the men's team has been up and down, the women have kent rolling along.
The Jayhawks stamrolled past Drake 85-6 Saturday night in Allen Field House. Only three players scored in the game, 28 has derailed the Hawks in their last 15 games. On the game, the 10th-ranked Hawks
KU meets another challenge at 7:30 tonight in Allen Field House, Delta State, a traditional women's basketball power.

Delta State's Lady Statesmen from Cleveland, Miss., finished last year with a 21-12 mark, but have fallen on relatively hard times this season and stand at 13-11.
KUW IN THE first meeting between the two teams, coach Marianne was impressed because of Delta State's past record of excellence. KU coach Marian Washington said the dayhawks would ignore that fact.
But this year's edition of the Lady
Statesmen is the first in a series of
Butea teams of the past. Part of the
reason is the deflections of Jessie Mine
Brown and Annie Laurie Wellington to
her own team.
"Delta State is like UCLA, Wayland and West Virginia. They have a fine history and tradition in the women's basketball program. And they still generate a spirit about them that we will enjoy for many years."
Last year they combined for an average of 31 points a game and this season are don’t have any goals, making seventh in the nation in scoring, hitting at a 25-point clip and in wittingness is 10th, hitter-
THE LADY STATESMEN have a new coach this year, Frances Garmon. Garmon was a highly successful junior college coach, amassing a 347-146 record in 15 years. She also coached the United States to the gold medal in the World University Games in Mexico.
City in October. KU's Lynette Woodard was a member of U.S.队.
"She's going to a program that is very supportive of women's basketball." Washington said of Garrison. "They may be the best players in the game, women play the second game of the double-header and where the women fly and the men ride in the vans. They play good teams, they have lots of money and they have great programs. They are a profit-making program."
Delta State is led by 6-3 center Doreen Grote, 5-10 forward Jill Rhodes-Bishop and 5-3 guard Carla Horshamst.
But if the Lady Statesmen are going to beat KU, they are going to have to stop the 'Hawks' running game, which Drake was unable to do Saturday.
THE BUILDLOGS WERE able to keep up with KU for only the first six minutes of the game. From that point on the game was a rout.

Snow doesn't deter Fambrough
But that's exactly what KU coach Dambrough had to face this weekend during a gala recruitment program for his top prospects. He but decided to make the most
When KU coaches are trying to persuade 12 blue chip football prospects to attend the University of Kansas, the last thing they want these recruits to see is 13 inches of snow on the ground, especially when their high school is Southern California and Oklahoma.
Fairtright treated the players to a luncheon on Saturday that was attended by nine former KU football greats and then took them back with a snowmobile out on Sunday.
"WE WEREN'T GOING to let the snow stop us," Fambridge said.
Friday night, pixes were out but our Lawrence radio station wired on snowmobile owners to the rescue. The prayers of the athlete department were answered
when eight snowmobiles and two three wheel vehicles were loaned.
Yesterday morning the recruits were treated to fun in the snow on Alvamar Country Club's driving range.
"We just had a good old-fashioned time," KU assistant Rich Rachir said. "Once we realized the snow was going to hit,ouch. Then let's turn this thing into winter carnival."
"We liked it so much that we hope to expand on it next time. We're going to pray for snow."
BIG EIGHT Conference letters of intent may be signed Wednesday, but Bambrough isn't expected to announce any signings the day for national letters one week later.
Saturday's uncheen was an all-out effort to win the hearts of the recruits, which included Dane Anderson, Darren Green, and Alex Johnson. At High School, the Class AA champions.
Also at the luncheon were Frank Suerer, a highly regarded quarterback from Huntington Beach, Calif. K.C. Brown, an of-

Neither team shot particularly well from the floor. KU hit only 42 percent and Drake hit only 38 percent. Both teams played a statistical edge at the free-throw line. KU went to the charity line 31 times compared to Drake's 20. And it makes matters worse when Drake scores 67 percent, Drake hit 12 for 60 percent.
THE FORMER JAYHAWKS on hand included the quarterbacks from all five Giants, including Brandon Jones (1947 Orange Bowl; John Hadl, 1961 Bluebonnet Bowl; Bob Douglass, 1969 Orange Bowl; Dave Jaynes, 1971 Liberty Bowl); and Eli Manning. Hadl is now the offensive coordinator at KU and, Cromwell plays for the National Football Conference champion Los Angeles Raiders.
