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. Him and is preparing for the NBA draft. Reaction? Everything seems calm on a sea 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 upsetting 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 goldmine for a college coach writing up his recruiting list. KU has snatched several Wichita products in recent years, including Valentine and Ricky Ross, but WSU won forward Antoine Carr and this year, 7-footer Greg Drelling.
EVEN THE KANSAS Legislature has felt the need to get involved in the cross-state dispute. Legislation
has been introduced in the last couple of seasons to force the two schools to meet, both in football and basketball. The bills have been thrown out, and KU has coolly declined the extended Shocker hand.
It's also easy, now, for Shocker 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 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 Oklahoma, the bickering at times can be uly.
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 such was, incidentally, predominant. 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 Athletic 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.
The Kings, who were the last team to qualify for the National Basketball Association playoffs this year, suddenly lost their position in the Western Conference semifinal-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The Kings outlasted the Portland Trail Blazers in a best-of-three series to win the title. After the club moved from Cincinnati in 1972
By PAUL D. BOWKER Sports Writer
The first game of the series is at 10:30
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.
tonight at Phoenix. After tomorrow night's second game in Phoenix, the team returns to Kansas City for the third and fourth games this weekend.
"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' success in beating Portland was a result of slowing down the Trail Blazers' running game, the same that led to their win over the Suns; the Pacific Division champion.
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 ministries 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 tied the
lowest number of points scored by an NBA team this year and was the lowest ever in the Suns' history.
"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 MacLead said. "I think it will have a positive slant to it."
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 third game of the series will be played at 7:06 Friday at Kemper Arena, with the fourth game scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Kemper Arena.
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.
Women's track team 2nd in chilly outdoor meet
The Jayhawks placed second at the Nebraska Invitational with the Cornhuskers winning.
OVERALL, IT was a chilly day." Coach Caria Coffey said. "I was really pleased with the meet. Our reals are getting better, but we still have some stick passing to work on. I'm also pleased with the field neele."
The Jayhawks scored 125 points to finish behind Nebraska, which had 139.5 points. Minnesota placed third with 5. Kansas State had 62 and Missouri 22.
Merlene Otleyted Nebraska to its first-place victory, winning the 100 and 200-meter dashes with times of 11 and 13 seconds. He ran on in the winning 400-team relay.
Jayhawks who placed first included Debbie Hertzog in the 1,500, 4:44; Connie McKernan in the 100 hurdles, 14;2. Becky McGranahan in the disc, 159-9 $^{4}$ and the 1,000 team of relay队 of Cindy CoX, Lloren Tucker, TudieMcKnight and Hertzog, with a time of 3:58.9.
MCGRANAHAN, a sophomore who has been throwing the discus since junior high, had a best throw of 184-6. To qualify for the AIAW National Outdoor Meet, she will have to throw at least 158.
KU's softball hopes tested today by MU
In a three-team race for the Big Eight Championship, Kansas' softball team may be halfway there.
After knocking off last year's conference champion Oklahoma State last week, the Jayhawks will battle Minnesota in a third game in kings' Holcomb Complex at 3 p.m.
Missouri has had some impressive victories this spring, defeating two nationally ranked teams, California Berkeley and Texas A&M. The Tigers also won a 30-tem team 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 Oklahoma played against Gay Boznang, senior third baseman, expects 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.
K. U. BIG BROTHER/BIG SISTER STAFF APPLICATIONS
Women's golf team w
Rather than throw his team into a full-scale tournament for its first meet of the season, Kansas' women's golf team scheduled a 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.
"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."
RANDALL WAS also pleased with the team's performance, both in the Wichita State meet and in recent practice sessions.

Juice Newton: This Angel Is Ascending
an attractive honey blonde from California with the intriguing name of Juice New-
mia with the intriguing name of Jace Newton is suddenly one of the best ladies in the recording industry to sing "Angel Of The Morning," from her new Capitol album *Juce*, as ascending both the pop and country charts as the song had wings. Requests for television appearances and tours by the glorious clubs across the country are pouring in. According to record biz oracle Kal Rudman: "By the end of the year, Jace Newton will be one of the top artistists in the music business."
After half a lifetime of performing, more than a decade of constant touring and five previous albums, Juice Newton's is now in style. Megastars like Jason Mraz and Patton have obliterated the barriers between pop and country music formats, making room on the airwaves for the blend of country vocal and instrumental textures with pop songs. Juice does so well. All of a kind. Juice Newton is a singer with a sound whose time has come.
"Juice's voice is definitely a country instrument," agrees Richard Landis, producer of Juice. "But when she brings it to the screen, theream material, that that's the mass appeal magic happens!"
What accounts for Newton's virtual "overnight" emergence as a dynamic commercial song-stress? The answer is her sound.
"I've always been moving in this direction with my music; I love it. I'm also her southern Virginia upbringing." My roots are in folk, but I consider myself to be a country with the accent on "country".
Newton and Landis have succeeded in capturing this moment with emphasizing through song selections in rangelences some provocative
This portrait is developed with stylist skins on *Juice*. Songs like "Angel Of The Morning," "Shot Full of Love" and "Queen Of Hearts" evoke images of a spirted, passionate and temporary woman. She's the kind of every urban cowboy would love to meet and every urban cowgirl would love to be.
bination of toughness and tenderness."
With her smash hit "Angel Of The Morning?" Juice Newton is becoming America's favorite urban cowgirl.
Juce (the source of the nickname remains shrouded in mystery) was still a teenager when she began her career singing folk songs in coffee houses, playing music that attracted me', she recalls. "It was hard-hitting. It really said something to you."
aspects of Juice's personality that have never come through in her earlier recordings. "I've always thought of Juice as a female desperado," says Landers. "Personality-wise she's strong, not the least bitsubmitning," he describes the feminine. She can sit at the bar drink with the boys, but you never forget that she's an extremely appealing woman. We wanted to show this com-
But by the late '60s, the demand for folk music had died. Traveling to college in California, he joined the poser Oto Young. The couple have been together ever since, progressing through a variety of lineups, moving from acousiances to movies more expansive, electronic, vored pop of Juice. The progression is musically chronicled on five albums, two early folk records and three more recent Capitol LP. Me (1977), Well Ket Secret (1978) and Take Heart (1979).
Along the way, Juice's hybrid musical style fell on some rather indifferent ears. Top 40 stations taught her "too country," while country audiences were tentatively receptive. But increasingly enthusiastic response to her versions of pop music included "Heartache" (a gold record in the UK), "Sunshine" confirmed a cross-over potential that has now become a reality.
In its first two weeks of release, "Angel Of The Morning" was added to the airplay list. It is perhaps the only other record in the country. The single is a hit with pop, country and adult contemporaries listeners alike, and the album's strong vocal just as stunningly performed.
"It's taken a long time, and I have to believe that," but now that the barriers are down, I think music like mine has a chance to reach a lot of people.

Turn on Juice and you'll hear why she's right.
WARREN ZEVON Stand in the Fire
(Asumi) Live rock album can provide a boost to an artist's career, and they can show up as a performer or weaknesses as a live act. Fortunately for those looking to make a big splash of a strong LP, *Nandi in the Fire* is one of the best in concert records to appraise in some time. Collecting the singer/songwriter's strongest tunes in one package, it makes an effective case to showcase as an up-and-coming rock talent.
Besides serving as a *greatest*包厢 package, the LP offers a spirited set of songs that will entertain. His vocal are convincingly aggressive when they should be. winningly tongue in cheek when his most absurd line is actually "Werewolves of London" finds him bellowing to the crowd that the man named **James Taylor** an amazing lyric writer.

While several ballads are delivered with conviction (Jenieme Needs a Shooter, "Mohammed's Radio") and come during the grittier rock oasis Side Two features a sizzling hot sequence of such tunes, opening with a snarling Lawyers, Guns and Money against a manic cover of "Boidleydy."
Zean's lowest LP is so enjoyable that HI m诉您 in passing that its two albums are even more enjoyable. What really counts is that, on the contrary, this is his most prominent album to date.

The only thing that survives — and survivals gloriously — is this horrendous mix is *Trolls*, the first album by Durham growth Johny Fogerty's vocal. It's reason enough to own a Copy Fogyerty's singing is simply among the best in the world, but trombone urgency is matched by her solo.
(Fantasy) This long awaited live document from the late, lamented Spartan heroes of rock has more than enough depth to should restrain the group's fans from buying a copy. There is, in fact, positive incentive for collectors of rock music. The band's songs were not recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall in April of 1970 at all but in the autumn to originate from an Oakland Coliseum that year. Whoo! Fantasy Records after presumably firing its archist, is it worth the money which makes this edition an instant oddity?

As a good drummer as Doug Clifford, was there must have been something else hap up there that night in Oakland. They could have fainted, hind the thundering drums and deafening cramps and deafening cramps. There seem to be some guitars, it's hard to tell.
If the sniffle had ended there, this could well have been a classic among the Songs. The songs are certainly here; "Travelin' Band," "Proud Mary," for Funny Son; a deposition to Creeper; a triple to the three-minute single. These are tough, tight tunes that should sound as good, if not better, when they first hit the radio.
