Relay team gets 6th in Texas
By PAULD. BOWKER Sports Writer
Considering the way things started for the KU men's track team at the Texas Relays, Saturday's finish at the meet in Austin, Tex. was a reason to
The Jayhawks two-mile relay team placed sixth at the meet in Saturday's finals, KU's best finish in the meet that included disqualification of the Jayhawks' 800-meter relay team Friday.
Officials disqualified the Jayhawks when Anthony Polk, a sophomore, moved before the starter's gun was fired.
The Jayhawks finished seventh in the sprint medley, but might have finished higher if a collision between two runners hadn't knocked KU's Mike Ricks off stride.
Riicks was starting to gain leaders during the final 500 meters of the race, when Sam Koskel of Southern Methodist, pumped Dykel Dahl of Oklahoma, Dahl stumbled in Ricks' lane and the senior spinner lost his
The Jayhawks did a little better Saturday.
KU junior Mark Hassan has trouble with his foot, but still managed to capture seven place in the finals of the long jump Friday.

The University of Texas-El Paso won the Texas Relys' team title three of the last six years, and it was the Miners' Suleman Nyambui who had the crowd of 6,000 cheering Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
"The sprinters ran very,very well for
Nyambu anchored the 8,400 and distance medley relays for the Miners, who won both races easily. Nyambu, a player from Tanzania, has won five NCAA titles.
Michael Carter of SMU captured another shot put title at the meet. Including his high school career, Carter has won eight titles at Memorial Stadium. Carter recorded a 67-11 toss, his best throw in an outdoor meet.
"I like this ring," Carter said. "The people are real close to you when you throw and they really pump you up."
KC beats Portland, 104-95, faces Suns
PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI)—The Kansas City Kings, who battled back from adversity all season, did it again against the Fortland Trail Blazers to advance to the Western Conference semi-finals against the Phoenix Suns.
The Kings defeated Portland, 104-95, yesterday on the Blazers home court. In the first game of the three-game series, the Kings defeated them on their home court in overtime, 98-97.
Reggie King scored 20 points with 20 coming in the second half. The Kings
pulled out from a 15-point deficit to a 49-48 halftime lead.
"Portland did a good job on King, but you saw what he can do in this game," Kansas City Coach Cotton Fitzsimons said. "He didn't give us much scoring in the first two games, but he bounced back and rebounded today. Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you."
"My hat's off to the Trail Blazers. Jack Ramsay took our cheap baskets
away. He's an excellent coach. We also had to beat Portland's sixth man—the crowd. They get on their feet and are awful loud. But we just kept calm and made the key buckets down the stretch."
In other NBA action, the Houston Rockets earned a berth in the Western Conference playoffs, beating the Los Angeles Lakers, 89-86. The Rockets will host the San Antonio Spurs in a best-of-seven series beginning tomorrow in San Antonio.

In opening-game action of the two Eastern Conference胜-of-seven semifinal series, Boston defeated Philadelphia nipped Milwaukee. 125-122.
"Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed," said Coach Floyd Temple, whose Jayhawks fell to 2-4 in league play. "Not so much that we lost three out of four, but the way we lost."
The RU baseball team hoped four games against Kansas State last weekend would be just what was needed to get back in the Big Eight race. Instead, the Jayhawks couldn't wait to get out of Manhattan, where they dropped three of four to the Wildcats.

THE WAYS THE Jayhaws lost varied. In the series opener Saturday, the manager managed just two wins; K-Shae and K-Seoul Johnson and lost, 2-Kevin Clinton
In the first game, the Jayhawks committed four errors in the opening inning to give the Wildcats four runs. Starter Randy McIntosh was the victim, lasting just two innings and giving up three unearned runs.
KU did salvage one victory in the series, defeating the Wildcats 6-3 in the second game Saturday. The Jayhawks also ended an 18-inning scoring drought with four runs in the second inning. They added four insurance runs in the seventh inning, as they pounded out nine hits.
First baseman Brian Gray showed signs of breaking out of a season-long slump with three singles in the game, and center fielder Dick Lewallen had two hits for the Jayhawks, including a double.
K-State bounced back in the bottom of the inning, however, scoring three runs off three KU pitchers. Four Jayhawk errors accounted for four unearned Wildcat runs.
On Sunday, the defense collapsed, as KU committed eight errors in losing. 8-2 and 9-8.

Errors cost softball team tournament
The KU women's softball team lost just two games in five outings this weekend, but in a double-elimination tournament, that's all it takes.
The Jayhawks fell to Illinois State twice, in their first game and in the championship game, 7-1.
Illinois State scored four runs in the first inning on a triple and an error on an outfielder. Kansas committed four more errors, but coach Bob Stankliff said that the first one hurt the Jawhaws the most.
come back against a good team like Illinois State.
“It’s not usual for us to have five errors. But the ball was hit really hard and our outfitter overplayed it a little. We also had a young person at shortstop whose our regular is out with a broken hand. She got a couple of tough errors.”
Stancilll said that Illinois State was a good offensive team and a consistent contender that might go to the championships. He said he was happy with his team's progress since its last tournament over spring break.
"It was the turning point in the game," Stanclift said. "It is tough to
"I felt that we showed a great deal of improvement since spring break," he said. "We gained a great deal in this tournament."
"Lack of hitting plugged us in the spring break trip and it had a mental effect on us. I felt that we showed much more confidence and that helped us a great deal."
Stancillie told that he was also pleased that his team had defeated Southwest Missouri State, regional champions last year. Oklahoma, the Big Eight champion.
