Injured Kansas prepares for Drake
By PAM CLARK Sports Writer
It's suck-it-up time for the KU women's basketball team. The Jayhawks will battle not only the Drake Buildings Field House, but also injuries and illness.
Yesterday two players, Shelly Dunar and Robbin Smith, were absent from practice because they had colds. Four other players were nursing injuries. Pat Mason still has a sore ankle, and Todd Bolodion has a bruise on her foot and a sore knee on Laurent Legrant has a bad knee and Kathy Patterson has a pulled gren muscle.
BUT ALL OF these players will be in action tomorrow. There are only six regular season games remaining on the schedule before the Sub-Region Tournament. The Jayhawks are trying to refine their play before hitting post-season action.
"Every game from this point on in very important," KU coach Marian Washington said. "Only one team will come out of the regional tournament this year. If we do not win our region, then we must be betred with a shot at an at-large berth."
KU is ranked 10th in the nation with a 24-1 record. Drake, which lost to Kansas State 89-78 last night, is 16-7.
Washington has stressed fundamentals
in practice this past week. The team ran through defensive drills where they had to fight off screens and try to deny the ball as intensively, they worked on shooting drills.
"EVERY PRACTICE we've got to do is not talking to her and said, "Defense is what we're really going to help us. We need to get our big girls on the field and be quite as weak defensively in the middle."
"We're working on shooting a lot now. Some of our shooting drills have really helped the players.
"Chris Stewart has been working on getting rid of the shot sooner and is showing improvement. She's going to hurt somebody.
"Megan Scott is working on her 15-foot shot. She has good motion, but is falling short."
THE KU DEFENSE should get plenty of work inside against Drake. The Bulldogs are led by 6-3 senior center Sharon Upshaw, who averaged 20 points and 13 rebounds a game last season, when Drake finished with a 28-24 record. He was ranked 17 in the Bulldogs' 69-96 victory over KU last year.
"It will be important to contain her." Washington said. "It will give our inside players a chance to work on their games. She's a big girl."

Tracksters aim for NCAA
The KU men's track team travels to the land of opportunity Saturday with visions of capturing more NCAA Championship berths
By MATT SEELEY
Sports Writer
The Oklahoma Track Classic, which will draw 21 teams, will be at the Myriad in Oklahoma City.
"This will be the toughest meet we've been to thus far," KU track coach Bob Timmons said
Because no team scores will be compiled, the primary function of the meet is to qualify athletes for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
"We're hoping to qualify as many as we can." Timmons said.
Specifically, Timmons said the 'Hawks were anxious to qualify long jumpers and high jumpers. And the Myrtia's banked shots have been more effective. Timmons hopes his team can capitalize on
The nationals, held in Detroit, will be on a track similar to the Myriad's.
"RUNNING ON THE boards is going to give us the experience we need for the nationals," Timmons said.
The most interesting event should be the 600-yard run. KU's All-America Lester
Mickens and upstart joe transfer Michael Ricks will once again battle each other. Last week, Ricks edged Mickens at the wire to capture the event.
The mile relay team, already qualified for the NCAAs, is a solid favorite. The four team members are Deen Hogan, Stan Whitaker, Ricks and Mickens.
Another running event will send sophomore Hogan against senior Whitaker in the 440.
THE BRUNT OF KU's attack should come in the field events.
Sanya Owoblah will compete against teammates Jay Reardon and Steve Clemens in the first game of the Pararette set an Allen Field House record two weeks ago, nipping Owoblah on the final
Joel Light, another NCAA qualifier, is the favorite in the high jump. He will be trying to improve on his 7-3/4 season best.
