Women want to rebound against Golden Gophers
By PAM CLARK Snorts Writer
University Daily Kansan
When the KU women's basketball team lost to Kansas State Monday night on a last-second shot, the defeat not only broke one of the players' streak, but also the hearts of the KU players.
But the condition is only temporary, according to KU coach Marian Washington.
according to KU coach Marian Washington, Washington said yesterday that the team would be ready emotionally and physically before the team dwells on tomorrow afternoon in Minneapolis.
"WE CAN TURN that load into an impactor and cut the cost we must to much. It might bring to the surface parts of our game that need work. There are some things that we have to get ready for."
Some of those things Washington wants to see improved are KU's man-to-man defense and moving the ball on offense.
"We've had too many opponents beat us to and then we are out of position," Washington said. "In terms of our offense, we have been moving the ball better. We
started doing it at the beginning of the season, but now we've got to get back to it. We have to hit the girl inside at the spot she becomes open."
DESPIETE WASHINGTON'S claims that the Jayhawks need to work on their game, KU takes one of the best records in the league. The Wild 9, ranking into tomorrow's contest.
The Golden Gophers also sport a good mark, standing at 12-4 entering a game against South Dakota last night.
"THEY HAVE A GOOD record with very few losses," Washington said. "But I looked at their schedule and I'm not impressed with it."
"The only impressive phase of their schedule was a trip to North Carolina State, whose team is nationally ranked (10th). We also had an asport competition a schedule as we have had."
But records can be deceiving and Washington has conflicting scouting reports about the Gohers.
Minnesota has a very young team. There are no seniors on the squad. Last year, the
Gophers finished with a 7-15 record and they placed fifth at the National Women's Invitational Tournament in Amarillo, Texas.
THE GIPHERIERS are led by a pair of juniors who are the Minnesota co-captains Linda Roberts, a 5-foot center, contributed an average of 15.5 points and 11.8 rebounds a game last year. Tarnny Many, a 5-foot-8 player added 10 points a game and tough defense.
"Roberts is a powerful rebounder," Washington said. "She did a good job and scored fairly well against North Carolina State.
"THEIR SHOOTING percentage hasn't been very good against nationally ranked teams, only 28 percent."
But if a team is really a reflection of its coach, then KU won't have any trouble coaching it. It was the Gophers' coach, Ellen Mosher, who teammates for several years on the U.S. National Team and in 1970 and 1971 they together in the World Championships.
KU faces first Big 8 opposition
After a week away from competition, the KU women's track team takes to the road tomorrow for an invitational meet at Lincoln, Nebraska.
While the Jayhawk men will be dueling the Cornhuskers, the KU women will confront eight other university track teams, including the Big Eight powerhouse, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and the Cornhuskers, the other conference schools entered.
It will be the Jayhawks' first look at conference competitors.
"We're looking forward to a really good

meet," Thea Hamilton, KU assistant coach,
said yesterday. "This meet will give us a good idea of what to expect from the Big Eight. It should be a really tough meet."
The Nebraska Invitational will be the first
Nebraska youth team, which
warmed up with a young recruit,
weeks ago in Allen Field House. The women
walk away with the seven-season meet,
and are set to begin a tournament.
"We hurdles will also be a strong point," Hamilton said. "We'll be watching Elwanda Smith, Lori Lowery and Gwen Poss."
"Our field team should do pretty well," Hamilton said. "Robin Small ought to fight in the top three in the shot-pet competition.
We're hoping that Linda Newell comes back with a strong performance."
"We had a really hard week of practice last week and we should be ready to go. I'm looking forward to it."

Mont Bleu opens again
By PATTI ARNOLD Sports Writer
If Ripley had a "Believe it or not" category for Kansas, surely at the top of the list would be the mountain in the middle of the Great Plains state.
Mont Bleu, Kansas' only skiing mountain, is open for business again after a two-year hiatus, but not for Alpine skiing. Cross country skiing and races are the closest Kanans will be able to get to the sport reserved for the Rockies and Colorado.
In the past two seasons, about the only visitors Mont Bleu has attracted are Kansas history buffs.
Patrick Rapp, Mont Bleu's manager for the last two months, said yesterday the equipment necessary for Alpine skiing was "in such poor shape that it was impossible to
Mont Bleu, five miles east of Lawrence, is not only Kansas' lone ski mountain, but also a national landmark.
He did say, however, that plans are in the works for Alpine skiing next season.
William Quantrill camped behind Mont Blem, originally a glacial deposit, before his infamous raid on Lawrence. Quantrill and Lewis raided Bremen and buried Lawrence in 1865.
The Oregon Trail runs behind the mountain and the settlers allegedly named Mont Bleu because the sunset turned the Mont an aurue blue.
Mont Bleu will add another page to its history with the reopening of its skiing area the season.
Rapp isn't overly optimistic about this skiing season, but said next year the area would be a real resort.
court pressure, and countered with a 10-35 surge of their own to pull within one point at 94-93 with 14 seconds left in the game.
The Kings then took timeout, put on full-
Kansas City took another timeout to work a play to get the ball to Otis Birdsworth, who was in the field receiving the ball, but as the clock ticked down he couldn't get a shot off and passed to center Sam Lacey who put the ball in the air. The officials ruled he did not beat the final buzzer.
Lacey's final shot goes in but doesn't count in loss
"This year we'll just grin and bear it and take some losses, but next year we'll be a real resort," he said.
Rapp did admit that he was worried whether winter would ever come to Kansas. When the weather is not favorable for skiing, he said, "sit down and crav a lot."
Plans are in the works to renovate the lodge, build a new lift and repair the snow machine.
PORTLAND, OREA. (UPI) - Guard Ron Brewer led a fourth quarter Portland rally, then the Trail Blazers lost a garrison a Kansas City tokip the nips 94-83 last night.
Brewer, high-point man for Portland with 20 points, got one in a Blazer 10.2-9 punt midway through the fourth period to break up a three-pointer put on Portland air 91-83 with 1:38 play.
Rapp can offer only skiing and parties at the resort, because his insurance does not allow him to have areas for other snow activities such as sledding and tobogganing.
Rapp, a manufacturing representative for his own company that sells skis and ski wear, is from the Kansas City area.
Mont Bleu has six cross country trails and can handle any number of skiers. Rapa said.
"We have 60 pairs of brand-new skis and can rent to 80 or 70 people," he said. "If they have their own equipment we can handle all of them. We have 700 acres here."
Skiing lessons are available for beginners, he said. Rapp also wants to build a restaurant and plan summer activities, but those are still in the planning stage.
Even though most of the plans for Mont Blau are still in the early stages, Rapp said, he wants his resort to be a permanent fix of Lawrence.
"We're just a small company trying to break even," he said.

God says the "loot" that says in his heart "there is no God" From about the year 1917 in Russian government has been "the loot." God considers how corrupted they have been and are, and how this corruption has spread over so much of the world.
Not only does God say that the fools who say there is no God are corrupt, but also "they have done abominable acts of oppression, persecution, mass murder, and no killingEl they planned "abomination works" for many other nations and have been very successful in bringing them to justice.

Consider how this devil doctrine has affected our great nation, until recent years probably the most God-forgiven.
