Cowboys gun Javhawks dead
The most important shots were the ones Oklahoma State didn't take.
Last night in Stillwater, Okla., the Cowboys went the final six minutes without taking a single shot. Down the stretch, they were right up for a Jakeyws Jawhays for a 2:47 Fight Eruptum.
Cowboy Ed Odum, who had 20 points, hit a basket with 63 remaining in the game and was tipped in two more bucks within 30 seconds. give Oklahoma State the lead for
THE JAYHAWKS FIRED BACK the rest of the way while the Cowboys refused to shoot and forced KU to fight. They then ran into a group of Elite-fireshows in the last six minutes.
The loss kept KU in the second division of football, trailing four-for-place Oklahoma by 4-2. Kansas State by three. The Jayhawks are now 9-9 overall, 3-4 in the conference and 7-2 in the Pac-10.
But the game was Oklahoma State's first Big Eight victory under first-year head coach Paul Hansen.
"I bought a new suit this week," Hansen said. "If it costs this much to win, I don't know what I'm going to do."
KU coach Ted Owens knew what to do after the team's defeat. He had only one comment for the press and then closed the locker room.
"It was just a case of getting outplayed," he said, and then departed.
KU PLAYERS refused to meet the press after a loss to Nebraska in Lincoln two weeks ago. But Owens, whose team had won two straight games, talked games,叫
Oklahoma State held a slim 37-54 halftime advantage and the score stayed just as close in the second half. Alloghet, the lead changed hands 17 times.
Darmell Valentine scored at the eight-minute mark to tie the game at 58. He then canned another pair of game-high 22 points to give KU its last lead.
After Olam and Moorehead combined for six straight points, Valentine missed a jumper at the 35.1 mark. He then stole the ball from the sideline in connections with Tony Guy under the basket.
THE COWBOYS THEN took the air out of the ball for more than a minute, a tradition that has continued to this day. The famous coach Henry Iba. "The 'Stall Hall' strategy worked unusually. KU had to fail on defense."
"We almost lit it late in the game, but we were on the field and we were a long time come. The kids are tired of working and then making mistakes that cost us ball games. It was a big, big victory."
On the positive side for the silent 'Hawks was the play of Valentine. Mired in a season-long slump and vying to become the most successful team in national, he has exploded the past four games. He earned Big Eight Player-of-the-Week honors for his 35 points in two games last season, but he lost to 17 shooting from the floor, not bad for someone whose season percentage has been hovering at 40 percent. He also had four rebounds last night, second highest for

won.
John Crawford, however, made of 5 I and pulled down 11 rebounds, controlling the defensive boards in the second half. His only statistically better rebounding performance was in the first.
Still, Oklahoma State beat the 'Hawks on the boards, 37-33.
"This game is the best the entire front line has played all year," Hansen said. "They did a super job."
That line had 28 of those rebounds and 47 of the points. Don Youman, the United Press
International's Big Eight Newcomer-of-the-Season ball game is a point. But more importantly, the 48 percent free-throw shooter went 8 for 10 from the line, most of which were in the closing minutes.
THE VICTORY PUT Oklahoma State 7-12 overall and 1-6 in the conference, hot on the heels of 25 Iowa State.
In other Big Eight action last night, 19th- ranked Kansas State stayed in first place with a 64-6 up road victory over 12th-ranked Missouri.
The Wildeats were led by Ai-Big Eight guard Roland Blackman, who scored 21 points. Three other players played Blackman and Kyle McRae, and 14 Tim Jankovich and 11 Jan Wills 10.
Curtis Berry scored 16 points to lead Missouri, but all 16 points came in the first half. Freshman Joo Sunvold added 12 for the Tigers before fouling out with one minute
Kansas State, which set a Big Eight effort by hitting 16 in 16 free-throw attempts against Nebraska last Saturday, has had 34 of 38 on 27 from the line in the last two games.
TWICE-BEATEN NEBRASKA downed Oklahoma, the defending champions, 59-58 on Mike Nadeer's field goal with 10 seconds left in the game.
Nebraska has 14-a point lead with 11-25 left to play, but the Sooners outscreed the "Husker" 24-4 during the next nine minutes and lost. The Bucks was wiped out during the final twelf minutes.
The victory boosted Nebraska to 5-2 in league play. Oklahoma fell to 4-3.
In their first game without recently earned wins, North Carolina in the Iowa State Cyclones lost to Colorado in the Bufaloffs, losers of four straight, got back on the winning track behind Jo Hunter's

KU battles champions
The Oklahoma Sooners, defending Big Eight champions will square off against the KU men's gymnastics squad at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Robinson's south gymnasium.
OU, second in NCAA competition last week, will host the Olympic hopeful Bart Connor as the Sooner squad, but he is being red-shifted this season to allow him to compete intimately.
KU's women's gymnasts will face Washburn University tomorrow night in Lawrence.
The women's dual begins at 7 p.m. in the south gym of Robinson.
Mason's style pleases KU fans
When Pat Mason, KR, suopherone guard, was carried off the court in Saturday's KKU-State women's basketball game, it wasn't after his season had come to a painful end.
As Howard Cosell would have said, "It was not a pretty sight."
By PAM CLARK
After making a twisting layup that had brought the crowd to its feet, Mason crashed to the floor, in pain, grabbing her left ankle.
Sunday night, a detached Mason sat on her bed with her leg propped up, an ice pack on the ankle. Then less than 24 hours later, she was downstairs playing against that same K-Sate team.
QUICKLY THE rumors spread throughout the crowd that Mason had broken the knife. But when KU returned to the arena, too soon for the second half, Mason was out there, too.

"I it bothered me during warm ups
Monday and it worried me in the first
half," Mason admitted yesterday. "It just

thinking that I had better forget about it."
SHE HIT 10-OF-16 from the field for 20 points to help KU maintain a six-to-eight point lead when the Jayhawks were served by services of their fledgled-placed inside players.
Mason carne to KU last year as a highly recruited forward from Washington, D.C. She was known for her outside shooting, her ball handling and her driving ability. Kentucky, Cheyenne State, Syracuse, Kentucky, Cheyenne State, Syracuse, Rutgers, Louisiana State and Texas.
"It was one of my best," she said. "But I’ve had other games where I contributed more to our team in both parts of the game than just scoring."
The 20 points were a career high for Mason, but she wouldn't say that it was her best game in a KU uniform.
Mason entered her freshman year with

"I DONT THINK I had enough people on the team last year that felt the way I do now. Once you have that year behind you, you should help the new people."
"Big Meg' likes to get down on herself when she makes a mistake." Mason said. "I do it, too. After a while it takes its toll on you and you lose your compass.
"If she blocks a shot and she thinks it's clear, but gets a foul for it, then I say that's okay, good job' and tell her to keep concentr
people said that I couldn't do this or that. They told me that I wouldn't attend KU because I was from an inner city school in Iowa and I could go anywhere that I could go anywhere. I wanted to go.
Two of the players Mason said she had tried to help were Megan Scott and Chris Stewart.
"And when Chris misses a shot she gets the ball back. Then he needs her to provide the outside shooting. She does the same thing as Megan. I try to get the ball back to Chris that she can shoot him."
"I was really disappointed with my freshman year," she said. "I set a lot of goals, but it turned out that I didn't reach one. I was down on myself.
KU guard Pat Mason, known primarily for her offensive skills, shadowed K-Satey Gayla Williams in last Saturday's championship game of the Jawhawk Classic. Despite playing on a severely sprained knee, Mason managed to score 10 points against the Wildcats Saturday and punched in 20 against K-State Monday night.
"BUT SO FAR this year, I've already reached two goals that I didn't reach last year. I'm in starter and I have teammates who are in starter and I have teammates in balls but in things of the court, too."
But Mason said that the new players also give her a lot of positive feedback,
Basketball was Mason's ticket to KU. She quickly became a crowd favorite, flashing fancy moves, showing off her defness with the basketball.
"I think I have a responsibility now that I've had my year of experience to help the new people coming in. If they don't understand me, some needs help, then I should help them."
high hopes. But all she got was a lot of frustration and bench duty,
especially junior college transfer Shebra Legrant.
Coach's oversight alters meet
"The MOTHER of the whole group is Shebra," Mason said. "Shebra's helped me win the race, and I'm grateful for anything it isn't. It's almost like she's been here for a year and I'm new. She's more like a girl."
"Last year when I tried to tell a senior that she was doing something wrong, they'd look down at me. This year everyone helps each other.

Another person from whom Mason draws inspiration is her mother. One of the reasons Mason wants to get her degree in fashion is because she wants to do something for her mother.

Sports Writer
Because coach Gary Kemp didn't read the rule book, the KU women's team is going a long way to swim short distances this Saturday.
"I DIDN'T KNOW about the rule he said I didn't own a book. He so booked up their coach, Dave Howell, on Monday and hold up the rule. There was nothing to prove."
Kempf admits he does not like short-course meets.
Short course distances are no longer than 200-meters, while long course distances range from 100 to 500-meters.
"SWIMMING THE shorter distance is mostly a mental transition," he said. "Besides, Missouri has to swim short distances against us because they're basically a sprint team. They couldn't turtle in the same pool with us in a long-course."
"I don't like the short course meet at all and I don't agree with them," Kempf said. "I don't think they argue anything."
Despite his prejudice, Kempf said his team would not have any problems making the transition to shorter distances.
