Shocker fans reason to ignore WSU
By TRACEE HAMILTON Associate Sports Editor
The Kansas basketball season has ended.
Head Coach Ted Owens' future is certain this season—he has been offered a new three-year contract. Senior guard Darnell Valentine has finished playing in the Pizza Hut Classic and is preparing for the NBA draft, swinging everything calm on. Everything seems calm on that has traditionally been stormy.
One question, however, remains unanswered—the fate of another Kansas-Wichita State matchup.
THE MERE MENTION of the season-ending KU-Wichita State game in New Orleans brings a shudder to many a Jayhawk across the state. The two teams met after 26 years of basketball drought—a drought that was welcomed by most KU fans.
Wichita State defeated the Jayhawks, 66-65, but the outcome
was not as upSETing to the red-and-blue troupe as the idea that the NCAA tournament had forced a pairing that Shocker fast-talk and proposed legislation had been unable to bring about.
Wichita State has long clamored for a chance to play the Jayhawks.
Opinion
The Shocker basketball program has been built in recent years to one of extreme notoriety.
The Wichita high schools are a gold mine for a college coach writing up his recruiting list. KU has snatched several Wichita products in recent years, including Valentine and Ricky Ross, but WSUW went forward Antine Carr and this year, 7-footer Greg Dreiling.
EVEN THE KANASAS Legislature has felt the need to get involved in the cross-state dispute. Legislation
has been introduced in the last couple of sessions to force the two schools to meet, both in football and basketball. The bills have been thrown out, and KU has软 declined the extended Shocker hand.
It's also easy, now, for Shucker as being part of KU's snob hill tradition, which in part it is. Kansas has a basketball tradition as long as the trip to Wichita and plays topnotch nationally ranked teams year after year. Why add Wichita State to the schedule?
It's also easy, now, for Shocker fans to scream "Chickenhawks!" Since Wichita State beat KU, they reason, the Jayhawks are obviously frightened of losing face and feathers to the Shockers.
Actually, it's all high school squabbling. And before the trip to New Orleans, it was easy to laugh at old college students who good old college fun. Not anymore.
AFTER SEEING the Shocker crowd's behavior at the game, it would be in KU's interest to rebuff
attempts to make the game a regular. KU is already intensely hated by two schools, Kansas State and OU, by the bickering at times can be ugly.
But not as ugly as the Shocker fans. Never has a group been more vocally, embarrassingly rude to the Jayhawks. Cheers that Wildcat fans mutter under their breaths or write on posters, such as Rock Chalk Chickenhawk, and you know the rest, were screamed by the Shockers crowd on national television. That was incidentally, predominantly among verbally abused everyone wearing hint of red and blue. It was truly embarrassing to be from the same state as the Wichita State fans.
KU AHletic Director Bob Marcum says that, as of now, there are no plans to add Wichita State to the schedule. It is hoped that the pressure of the victor over the vanquished will not take hold, and that KU will not subject itself to that kind of performance again.
Kings to test playoff luck against Suns
The funny thing is, the Kansas City Kings weren't supposed to get this far.
By PAUL D. BOWKER
Sports Writer
The Kings, who were the last team to qualify for the National Basketball Association playoffs this year, suddenly moved on to the Western Conference semifinal-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The Kings outlasted the Portland Trail Blazers and won their first playoff series since the club moved from Cincinnati in 1972.
The first game of the series is at 10:30
tonight at Phoenix. After tomorrow night's second game in Phoenix, the teams return to Kansas City for the third and fourth games this weekend.
THE KINGS advanced to the semifinals after beating the Trail Blazers 104-95 in Portland Sunday. The Trail Blazers, who beat the Kings Friday night in Kemper Arena to force the third game, took a 15-point lead in the second quarter but lost their momentum in the second half.
The Kings' success in beating Portland was a result of slowing down the Trilazers' running game, the same team that defeated the Suns, the Pacific Division champion.
"We have to control the tempo," Kansas City Coach Cotton Fitzsimms said. "We have to keep Phoenix out of their running game, execute our plays and apply defensive pressure for the full 48 minutes."
The Kings and Suns are not strangers in playoff games. In fact, the Suns are a team the Kings might rather not face. The Suns eliminated the Kings in the miniseries last year and in the Western Conference semifinals the year before.
The Kings, however, recaptured some of their pride this year after beating the Suns three of five times during the regular season, including a 105-68 rout of the Suns in Kansas City March 8. The Suns' point total tie
lowest number of points scored by a NBA team this year and was the lowest
"I think the effect will be positive in that we realize they are a very competitive, rugged team and we have great respect for them," Phoenix Coach John MacLeod said. "I think it will have a positive slant to it."
The third game of the series will be played at 7:05 Friday night at Kemper Arena, with the fourth game scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Kemper Arena.
Phil Ford, the kings, second-year guard, might play in *spots against the Suns*, but isn't expected to see much action because of an eye injury.
The cold, windy weather Saturday didn't make the switch from indoor track to the outdoor version any easier for the Kansas' women's track team, but the result of the team's meet made the weather a little easier to take.
The Jayhawks placed second at the Nebraska Invitational with the Cornhuskers winning.
Women's track team 2nd in chilly outdoor meet
OVERALL, IT was a chilly day." Coach Carla Coffey said. "I was really pleased with the meet. Our relays are getting better, but we still have some stick passing to work on. I'm also pleased with the field people."
The Jayawhaks scored 125 points to finish behind Nebraska, which had 139.5 points. Minnesota placed third with 5. Kansas State had 92 and Missouri 22.
Merlene Otley tied Nebraks to its first-piece victory, winning the 100 and 200-meter dashes with times of 11 and 22.4 seconds. The first man to ran a 400-meter relay won the 400-relay team.
Jayhawks who placed first included Debbie Hertzog in the 1,500, 4:4; Connie McKernan in the 100 hurdles, 14; Becky McGranahan in the disc, 150-9 $^4$ and the 1,600 team of relay team of Cindy Cox, Lorna Tucker, Tudie Knight and Hertz, with a time of 35.89.
MCGRANAHAN, a sophomore who has been throwing the discus since junior high, had a best throw of 154.6. To qualify for the AIAW National Outdoor Meet, she will have to throw at least 158.
KU's softball hopes tested today by MU
After knocking off last year's conference champion Oklahoma State last week, the Jayhawks will battle Georgia in a game where Holcomb Complex at 3 m. today.
Missouri has had some impressive victories this spring, defeating two nationally ranked teams, California-Berkley and Texas A&M. The Tigers also won a 30-tem tournament over spring break.
Kansas is expected to battle both Oklahoma State and Missouri for the conference title this spring. The Jayhawks already have defeated Oklahoma State and Oklahoma in a 17-team tournament last weekend.
Earlier this fall Kansas and Missouri split two games and Gay Boznango, senior third baseman, is today's game to be just as even.
"We've played about the same amount of games so it will be pretty even," she said.

Women's golf team ...
Rather than throw his team into a full-scale tournament for its first meet of the season, Kansas" women's golf team scheduled a delay to deal with Wichita State.
The team won that match Friday and team members believe they benefitted from the decision to let the squad relax in its first meet.
Four team members shot their best scores of the season and the squad won the meet with a 349 total. Wichita State finished with 359.
Patty Coe, a sophomore, said the meet would be best for new members of the team.
RANDALL WAS also pleased with the team's performance, both in the Wichita State meet and in recent practice sessions.
"The team is coming along," he said.
"They're working hard."
"It's a really good idea for the new people so they can get used to college golf," she said.

BenDay & the Zipatones IN NEW YORK
Bill Pympson said the joint was a firerap and if anything happened New York would lose its cartoon population in one big flame.
Bill Pympson, nationally syndicated author of "Tube Strips", "Medium Plowmouth" and "Plymouth", and Mark Alan Stanley, Village Voice author of "Carrinhoo and MacDowde screes", started their career in the mid-1980s, broken down EIVim imitation.

What happened instead was a smash — the one time only and forever performance of Ben Day and the Zipettes, four well known New York musicians, bassist, bassist, a pickup drummer and organist, and three singers — the Zipettes.

Billy & the Beaters SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY
Their name suggests a trend New Weave group Billy and the Billys have quite the opposite Led by singer Tom Petty, their music was set since the mid-Sixties, this nine piece outfit is to stauch a rhythm and flow. Petty himself is hardy a young freebrand either — resembling a Rick Nelson ensemble or his music looks on his musical stage.
Billy and the Beaters, then, are no punks—their virtue as a group lies in their qualities were in evidence at Diogo show, a satisfying affair despite a few awkward moments. While limited by his height, the group demonstrated the group's considerateness.
The band's hemany robust tshab is in evidence from the show's opening video. The bassists wear saxophones on stage, who hook out thick, rhythmic blasts which invoke the old SeaVolt sound. Few hands use these instruments; the reedmen's insistent saws were refreshingly different. Clustered about a single mike, the sax quartet was unhappy with their performance.
Vera's sax section was so potent that they tended to obscure the other players, including former Doobie Singer, Eva Baster, on tour with the band at The Fillmore, and parents, his presence was mostly in tended as a commercial draw, for his contributions on steel guitar were slight. Confined to a corner of the room would be seen shaking his head when a band member would ask him to solo.

His low profile, though, was more than compensated for by Vera, an engaging, follicle-some stage personality with a strong, flexible voice. Doing splits and wheeling about, he had the eye to see where he stood under the spotlights. His affection for rbw was evident as well. His original material, particularly "I Can Take Care of Myself" and "Someone Will School You." Someone Will Hold You, effectively described word play and bump-and-bump besteness with ranchy sentiments.
Bilb and the Beaters bigurt asset to that few bands are covering the虎耳 they are. Their music is decidedly Old Wave but timeless in its energy. With a fine timing, Vera and company could be a hitmaking proposition.
Vera's fifteen year background as songwriter and performer serves him well in concert. His professionalism matches his enthusiasm on his upbeat
numbers. Vera's only failing would apa
pear to his treatment of ballads. By
giving them long-winded, tear-gearing
tales he wrote on the cards, show he, undercut their effectiveness. Though he well may have been sin cere when conferring such heartache songs as Here Came the Dawn

are also some successes here. "White Knuckles" boasts a gallant arrangement and frantic singing in the manner of E.C.'s "Oliver's Army." "Strict Time," an amusing plot of prudery, bounces to a tasty Latin tempo. "And 'Shot with Gun' is one of Gosell's best ballads in its portrait of a desgestized gigante.
Still, the overall impression *Trust leaves* is less than satisfying. For the moment, Coutello is reading water at a table that may be his commercial breakfast.

Complete Prestige Recordings
David was something of a child prodigy, snaptched up at the tender age of 19 by the grand master beogh, Belop Parker, to be his front line trumpet. The reigning trumpet influence at Belop's college was Gillespie's supervative technique, consisting of an advanced harmonic sense, practically unlimited power in any register and a fluent quickness, made him the standard by which he excelled in the technical limitations that he eventually used to his own advantage.
(Prestige) The Presige recordings can be looked upon as a series of lab sessions that led to breakthroughs for not only Miles but the rest of the jazz
world as well. The net result was a recollection of harmony, a reconsideration of the small group in jazz, an art form that can be heard on the trumpet, several stylistic changes in the music and the cultivation of an audience that knew how to still

The music.

Davis took a tenor saxophonist who at 29 had not completely found his voice, yet John Coates, a pleaser and bunt man, sent him a penchant for cockatiels, Red Garland, an unknown bassist barely out of his teens, Paul Chambers, and a pianist. He played too loud, Phil Joy Jones. This was the *que* instrument and though there would be some personel changes, the band's working band for the rest of the decade.

Although the band reached its finest flowering on record with Columbia, (c. Kind of Blue, in a Silent Ways, Miles Smiles) the prestige are more than the music; it is tune, for me, it is the lovely ballad "I love you," my Mind. "Collarne lays out and it just Miles and the rhythm section. Even though he fluffs the theme, even though he recorded the definitive verbiage arrangement for Blue Note two years later, though Garland does not approach HoraceSilver's achingly beautiful solo, the piece is exquisite. it's followed by "When I Fall In Love" and given the mused, moody treatment. It is, to quote Moore, "a great heart song to have a broken heart."
A January, 1953 session reunites Davis and Parker. This time, Parker is the sideman and loser the leader. As it turns out, Parker is as does the other horn player on the station, Sonny Rollins. According to Dan Morgenstern's liner notes, it took a week for Parker to pleadle (for Davis) to get this session underway, but the results are fascinating. Parker's sounds totally relaxed and harmonious, which shows no signs of being intimidated.
The following year at the Newport Festival, Daven won over the entire critical flattery with one performance by David MacKinnon, scores for years, they now rushed to restore him to grace. Columbia Records beckoned with a fatar record and David MacKinnon obligated to Presign. The last Presign dates were somewhat quick and dirty but Daven still found the time to work hardwork for probably the greatest song of all.
Davis had taken to playing with a Harmon mute in his trumpet, producing the brooding, introspective, cool quality that went straight for the heart. In April of 1954, having shaken off his addiction, Davis, with one record selections, led the cool school that had been taken to playing with Coast players. The tunes were his own "Walkin" and an old gillepant gallee "Blue 'n Boogie"
