Fiddelke Still Adjusting To Big 8 Basketball
By PAULSTEVENS Kansan Staff Writer
Quietly and steadily, sophomore Mike Fiddeke is developing into a valuable player. He has been blessed with an abundance of natural ability, Fiddeke is making the adjustment to Big Eight basketball the hard way—by improving his guarding and hustling for rebounds and points.
A measure of his progress comes Saturday night in Allen Field House when the Jayhaws host the University of Oklahoma in a "must-win" game for both teams. Kansas supporters can only hope that Fiddeke and his teammates duplicate the success of a weeklong State, KU shot the Cyclones out of the league lead with a 90-78 victory, and Fiddeke helped lead the way with a career-high 17 points.
"the win at Iowa State gave the whole team confidence," said Fiddelke, "but we know that one game isn't to win for the title for us. Oklahoma knows they've got to do it." We play 100 per cent like we did at Iowa State, we can beat anybody in the league."
"I know that I've got to work twice as hard at anybody else on the team," Fidelke said. "I'm nothing super like Tommy Lee." He had never played, I have to scrap and fight and kick."
Giving 100 per cent effort is a factor that has helped keep Fiddelke in the lineup ahead of other talented forwards such as Nina Wilson, Barrion and Nana Samuel.
Hustle alone does not win a player a starting position. Fidelike is a smart shooter who seldom forces his shots, and consequently he is highly accurate. Against Iowa state he made seven of 10 shots from the field.
Couch Ted Owens said Fidellle's attitude was responsible for his continuing improvement.
"Mike has good ability," said Owens, "but even more important is that he wants to improve. He has intense desire to succeed in the business or desire. That's the great thing about Mike."
When playing in the Jayhawks' front line with 6-10 points, you need a soft suture, with few teeth, less pressure to
"Rick and Danny can both shoot well," he said. "I don't think I have to score that much for us to win. Right now I'm hustling more."
Fiddeke, 6.4, is accustomed to playing in the shadow of bigger, more publicized teammates. During his sophomore and junior years of high school at Paulina, Iowa, he was a teammate of Neil Fegebank, a 6-7 center who was one of the most highly-trained preps in Iowa basketball history. The combination of Fegebank and Fiddeke

sparked tiny Paulina to two consecutive state titles and a 60-zone winning streak.
Ironically, it was Fegebank's presence that helped Fiddelke land a basketball scholarship at Kansas. Fegebank, a year ahead of Fiddelke in school, was highly sought by scores of colleges in his senior year. One of them was KU assistant coach Sam Miranda.
In the summer between his junior and senior years, Fideldek and four other teammates attended the basketball camp conducted by Kansas' head coach Ted Owens. The KU coach apparently saw the potential for a scholarship the following spring. Fideldek turned down offers from the University of Iowa, Iowa State and Nebraska.
Javhawks to Test Sooners

The last time a Sooner team won here was in 1983, when OU edged the University of Florida.
But this is exactly the task which coach John MacLeod of Sooners will face Saturday.
The Sooner's conference record slipped to 2-3 last Saturday when they dropped a 90-69 decision to Colorado at Boulder. A fourth round would be a blow to their title aspirations.
Unfortunately for OU, the 10-year Allen field House victory drought is not the only reason for this.
In addition, the Sooners now have injury problems. Lee Gibert, a 6-foot-1 junior guard averaging 9.5 points per game, will definitely not play against the Jayhawks. Also, Pichard, averaging 9.3 points per game, is a doubtful starter.
Perhaps the biggest factor is the recent top flight play of the Jayhawks, who have had a week to prepare for the Sooners and could benefit from the BEN league leading Iowa State.
In that victory the 'Hawks found the consistency they had been lacking as they played their best basketball of the season. After the game, Iowa State coach Maury John called the Jahayh squad the best team they had played all year.
The University of Kansas swimmers place thir uneaten Big Eight string on the line this weekend as they travel to Ames, Iowa, to face an improving Iowa State Cyclone team. The Jayhawks have not lost Big Eight dual competition since Feb. 19.
KU Swimmers Travel to ISU
The Jayhaws easily outpainted the Oklahoma tankers last weekend at Stillwater, downing Oklahoma, 100-11, and Oklahoma State, 70-43.
OU coach MacLead calls Kansas "the most physical team we've played." He said that the two keys in the game for the Sooners would be rebounding well and maintaining their composure in front of the KU fans.
After a fine outing in the Oklahoma
Jaycee Meet at Oklahoma City last
weekend the Jayhawk track squad travels
to Dallas to participate in the
Colorado in a triangular meet Saturday.
The big story this season for OU has been Alvan Adams, the 6-9 freshman from Putnam City, Olda, who leads the conference in scoring with a 21.9 average.
The mile relay team of Tom Savuccio, Doug Todd, Phil Stepp and Edwin Lewis swept to a first place finish with a time of 3:19.9. Greg Gwandaveer nailed down another first place finish, blazing to a 7.13 clocking in the 60-yard high hurdles.
The KU squad pulled in four firsts at the Oklahoma City Invittational and placed me in third.
In Adams' two games his point production has fallen to 12 against Colorado
Trackmen Set For Triangular
Jayhawk coached Ted Owens is quick to point out that Adams' reduced point average does not necessarily mean that he has been playing poorly.
Owens said that point totals did not really give the total picture. He said that much of Adams' effectiveness could stem from his experience in Afghanistan, while the defense was sagging on him.

Owens said. "When you concentrate on one man, the others get loose and we don't want to see them."
"We'll play our standard defense."

Owens said that practice this week had been good for the 'Hawks. He anticipates no problems.
"I'm a believer in success breeding success," Owens said.
When asked if the Iowa State victory would provide the "Hawks with momentum, Owens said, 'Undoubtedly, the win at Iowa State will help us.'"

Owens acknowledged that OU's recent loss at Colorado could make them more hungry for a victory against the Jayhawks. "We had a bad position in the conference," he said.
