KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Kansas City Kings seemed to deal in suspense. Not only do the majority of the Kings games go down to the wire, but the team's playoff status wasn't known until the last game of the season.
Applications Applications
THE VICTORY earned the Kings the fifth playoff position in the Western Conference of the NBA ahead of the Houston Rockets. Both the Kings and the Rockets finished with 40-42 records, but the Kings gained the fifth spot because of their 4-2 season record against the Rockets.
The Kings face Portland in the first game of a best-of- three miniseries Wednesday night in Portland. The game was played Friday night at Kemper Arena.

The Kings, who needed a victory over Dallas at Kemper Arena last night to down a playoff baton, burned back a fierce attack and defeated the Mavricks. 113-104
After a Dallas timeout, the Mavericks forced the Kings into several turnovers and scored baskets almost at all, both inside and outside. Behind Olive Mack and Brad Davis, the Mavericks pulled in third quarter, the Mavericks pulled to within two, 71-49, before the Kings finally realized what was happening.
"It's been a tough season," Kansas City Coach Cotton Fitzsimmons said. "I've been extremely proud of this
The Mavs, however, did not let the Kings off that easily.
"I was a bit off. I said it before that 41-41 would get us in and it took 40-42. It been a good team. I'm really proud of them."
The Kings, who took an 10-11 lead less than halfway through the first quarter, maintained a 10-14 point lead through most of the second quarter and threatened to bury the Mavericks, holders of the worst record in the NBA, early in the third quarter after taking a 58-46 halftime lead.
The Kings scored 12 of the game's next 16 points and held an 83-73 lead over the quarterers, thanks to Sam Lacy's 20-foot bounce that buzzed that the crowd of 7,171 wolf.

The way the University of Arizona's track meet against KU was progressing Saturday night, it appeared that the team had not yet captured their fifth consecutive victory.
Track team beats ASU
The Wildcats, who finished 11th nationally last year, were literally running away with the meet. They won seven of nine running events. But the Wildcats' joy subsided when the field events' results started to come in.
THE JAYHAWKS, who were competing in their first outdoor meet of the season, won every event except one, and beat the Wildcats. 79-75.
Of the six field events KU won, the Jayhawks swept two of them—the pole vault and the triple jump.
Sanya Owolabi, who won the triple jump with a leap of 52-14, became the first Jayhawk to qualify for the NCAA championships at the meet. Owolabi was followed by Kevin Graham and Paul Titus.
In the pole vault, George Buckingham won with a vault of 15-8⁴ and was followed by Randy Howard and Owen Buckley.
The Jayhawks also swept the 800 meter race. Van Schaffer, whose status was listed as doubtful before the meet, won the race with a time of 1:52.7. He beat teammate Leonard Martin and Mike Ricks.
ALTHOUGH WOLOLABI, the second-best triple jumper in the nation last year, was the only KU athlete to qualify for a World Championship deer Deen Hogan came close.
Hogan won the 400 with a time of 46.61, missing the national qualifying standard by one/L/100 of a second. Hogan is the defending Big Eight champion in the 400, and finished fourth event at the NCAA championships.
The meet marked the first time KU and Arizona met in a dual.

Baseball team splits two with Oklahoma State
By ARNE GREEN Sports Writer
The Kansas baseball team opened its conference season Saturday by hosting pre-season favorite Oklahoma State, responds with his best outing of the year.
A second doubleheader with Oklahoma State yesterday was rained out, but the Jayhawks return to action today with a non-conference (twinkl) against South Dakota State. The game will start at 1 p.m. at Quizlev Field.
Clinton, a right-hander who got off to a shaky start this year, scattered eight hits and struck out seven Cowboys at the Jayhawks took the first game of a doubleheader, 6-1. Oklahoma State won the nightcap, 4-2.
The only run off Clinton, 2-1, came in the seventh inning on a groundball after hitting an outfield shot.
"TT WAS gratifying to come out and get a fine pitching performance from Kevin Clinton and some clutch hits," Coach FloydTpledman said. "Kevin used his screwball and fastball very effec- tively, and could easily have had a shutout."
"I got a little tired toward the end."
Cai said. I just had to settle down
and wait for it.
"IT WAS GOOD for me, because I knew I had the screwball, which breaks away from lefthanders." Clinton said.
Oklahoma State stacked its lineup with lefthanded hitters, but that didn't bother Clinton, who kept them off balance with his screwball.
In the second game, Oklahoma State jumped on KU starter Jim Phillips for three runs in the fourth inning.
The KU offense supported Clinton with two runs each in the first, third and sixth innings, and third baseman Russ Blaylock continued to spark the ball down the left walk. He added two singles in the nightcap to go 4-for-5 on the day.
TEMPLE SAID he was quite happy with the split.
Left fielder Tim Heinemann accounted for both of KU's runs with a two-run home in the bottom of the fifth.
"The thing I'm pleased with is that our young balliculat found it could go out. I don't know if it's right."
"I told the guys to get me two runs, and that's all I needed."
"When you go into a series with a team that has probably the best talent in the conference, and come away with a split, you have to be happy," he said.
Woodard named All-American
Lynette Woodard's playing career at KU has ended, but she still isn't through with putting her name in the record books.
