Owens looks to fans for edge against Cowboys

Jayhawk's opponent best of second division
The Big Eight postseason basketball tournament is five years old today.
Its five years have been filled with complaints from lovers of the Big Eight Holiday Tournament, which the postseason meet replaced. There have also been gries from coaches and fans, who would rather have the Big Eight's representative to the NCAA Championship tournament be the regular season champion, as it was before the postseason tourney.
ALL COMPLIANTS will be set aside by seven teams tonight, however. The only team in the Big Eight that might favor the old plan is Missouri, the regular-season champion. All others will truly get a 'second season,' another chance to win the NCAA's automatic spot for the BIG Eight.
Kansas, by virtue of its second-place Big Eight during regular season, Oklahoma is the top-ranked team to touch 65.
The luck of the draw, as well as Saturday's 80-65 victory over Oklahoma State that made the difference between second and fifth place, gave the Jayhawks the chance to face the Cowboys twice in four days. Playing back-to-back games on Sunday was a big advantage, KU's Head Coach Ted Owens said.
"I HELP IN some ways." Owens said.
"Your preparation for several days has been to play Oklahoma State and you just continue that preparation."
Most of the other Big Eight coaches are probably happy that Owens gets the advantage of preparing for the same team two games in a row. Oklahoma State, the Big Eight's leader until mid-February, is the best of the second division teams.
"All of the teams that play at home in the first round would like to play anyone but Oklahoma State." Owens said. "They have that kind of respect. The other home teams would rather not play Oklahoma State because they are a dangerous team."
"I THINK MOST times people have assumed that we will win and that they will wait to see us in Kansas City," Owens said. "The best chance that we have of winning is to have student support. One of the most important reasons for our success at home is the crowd response.
Because the Cowboys are a talented team, Owens is more concerned about the attendance of tonight's game. Attendance at first-round tournament games has been low in the past, as low as 3,610 last season against Colorado. The crowd was an important factor in Saturday's game, Owens said, and despite lagging ticket sales, he hopes to see a larger crownton!
"it's vital that we have the student support for this game. OSU is a dangerous road team." They
beat Kansas State, Oklahoma and Iowa State on the road.
"The reason for the home court advantage is the positive force that the crowd has for the home team. There aren't many teams that get the support that we, and we will really need
The Jayhawks will have one thing tonight that they didn't need very badly Saturday. Six-foot-8 center Victor Mitchell is back to full strength and has been allowed him out of the startling lineup for two games.
John Crawford, 8-4 forward, started both those games and played well enough that Mitchell was used for only 13 minutes Saturday and 14 minutes the game before against Nebraska. Crawford scored 13 points and had 5 rebounds againstNU and had 15 points and 12 rebounds against Oklahoma State. Crawford will start tonight, Owens said.
Paul Hansen, coach of the Cowbys, is looking at tonight's game as a chance to get into the NHL.
"VICTOR HAD A good practice yesterday and I would anticipate that he will be ready to play."
A victory tonight would give his team a 19-8 record and possible consideration for an at-large
bid to the national meet. The victory would also advance the Cowboys to Kansas City where they could win the automatic bid, but the record is more important to Hansen.
"I WANT 19th win," Hansen said. "That's what is important to me. It doesn't matter if we had gotten it Saturday or Tuesday. We've got to have it for a shot at a tournament and we'll get back on February (34), it would be awfully tough for us to get a tournament bid with an 18-9 record."
JAYHAWK NOTES: United Press International announced its All-Big Eight team last night. The first team was: Rolando Blackman, Kansas State; Andre Smith, Nebraska; Matt Clark, Oklahoma State; Joo Hunter, Colorado; and tied for the fifth spot were Kansas' senior guard Darnell Valentine and Missouri forward Ricky Frazier.
The second team was: Jack Moore, Nebraska,
Neely, Kansas State; Chuck Barnett,
Oklahoma State.
Honorable mention to Leroy Combe,
Oklahoma State University, for Jon Sundwell,

Five KU players, including three of the players to expect start tonight, will be playing their
last game in Allen Field House. KU's seniors are John Crawford, Art Housey, Booty Neal, Valentine and George Thompson.
Big Eight tickets still available
The tickets are reserved seats in the student section.
Tickets are still available for tonight's first round Big Eight postseason tournament game in Allen Field House. They can be purchased until halftime of the game at the Allen Field House box office for $2 with a KU I.D. Public tickets are $5.50.
Nearly 3,000 tickets are also available for the semifinal and final round games in Kemper Arena. These can be purchased at ticket outlets in the Kansas City, Mo., area, according to Bill Hancock, Big Eight Service Bureau director.
Tipoff time Friday are 7:05 p.m. for the game between the winner of the Oklahoma State-Kansas game and the winner of the Iowa State-Missouri game. The game bet-low is the winner of Oklahoma-Kansas State and the winner of Colorado-Nebraska is set for 9:05 p.m.
KU women's track team overcomes low ranking
By WENDY L. CULLERS Sports Writer
Nebraska won its second consecutive Big Eight women's track championship this weekend, but a third-place finish for KU did not cause any disappointment.
The Jayhawks, ranked sixth in a coaches' poll before the championships at Lincoln, Neb., won two events and scored 76 points, beating out Kansas State for third place.
THE CORNHUSKERS, coached by former KU men's assistant Gary Pepin, won the meet with 142 points. Oklahoma, with 126, finished second.
Women's swim team extends streak
"We were really happy," KU Assistant Coach Theo Hamilton said. "This was our best job in competition this year. It was a super team effort.
PEPIN SAID the Cornhuskers' victory was important because it was his first year as a head coach at Nebraska. He said the Cornhuskers had a good chance of winning the national title.
"The team put in more than 100 percent . . . they put in 120 percent. It was a total team ef fort."
Ten Big Eight records were set in the meet including Tudie McKnight's win-energy-leaping 10-39% of the long jump. The mark qualified her for the all-time record, which will be held March 13-14 in Pocatello, Idaho.
"I'M REAL HAPPY," McKnight said. "This jump tells me how I'll be doing in the outdoors."
Kansas finished among the top six in every event except two, including a second-place finish
The Jayhawks have qualified four athletes for the national championships. Lori Green-Jones, already qualified, finished third in the 300 at the conference championships.
KU won 10 of 24 events en route to its seventh conference crown.
Gwen Poss, who qualified for the national championships earlier this season, won the 60-yard hurdles with a time of 8.02, edging teammate Alex Schoenfeld in mark of 8.06 qualified her for the nationals.
"They (the other coaches) were surprised that we placed third," Hamilton said. "The KU coaching staff knew that Nebraska and Oklahoma, but we predicted that we would place third."

Kansas' women's swim team has won every Big Eight championship. That record was never tested this weekend at the Big Eight championships at Robinson Natatorium.

I seems repetitions to review Harlan Ellison's newest set of phantasms. The man reviews them himself. The man reviews them stories, seventeen written stories, you veen introduce them. You count the general introduction. He tells you how to read each story, what was going on in his life when he wrote the book. He says, "The introduction, what being a writer is all about, what he thinks of what people think of his故事, and generates the interest." He hard-boiled, bar-wired, iconoclast, brushed, one-step ahead chiaroscuro camera named Harlan Ellison—all the people who pleaded with them about how famous fantasies are *ouir* dreams, *our* fears, *our* mortal dreads, *transmogrified* rife, the *partner* of my *ouir*, the *partner* of per cent holum, and a lot of fun.

The introductions seem worthy of mention, because they are skewered on the same connecting rod that holds all the stories together, namely Elliott *Love and Happiness*, from behind and out of the literary masque. It is like a child intensely make believing, alternately delighting and alarming it. This phenomenon means that when we save one that ingenuous and lourished Mind, cackling, smirking, commenting wrily, or lifting a what-do-you make o_o of a eyewitness in a flitting moment of characters. There is only the 'woman with the serious smile,' the 'man lying in the fog, and so on.' These particular wranks, we learn at the end of "The Woman With The Serious Smile" the lost bits of the main character. They are 'Malfared', hairless, blind, atrophied, runned." They are 'Damaged, forlorn, but no longer bound to him. Artistic exorcism, problems being worked through in isolation; Ellison is not even concerned with character as an aspect of the story (a particularly funny parody), nor is he hallucinating attempted suicide named Anne Marie *Screwball* has a long-page conversation with the Seven Doards who are planning a bonsai tree on the island. He gets along quite nicely without his *Force*. His force is upon page it-filling readability, as shown in the longer stories. All the Lies That Are My Life go under siege, in one case by symboiosis, in the other by conscience.
Ellison's style is polygol, informed as it is not only by the serious fanatics (Irving, Hawthorne, Poe, and Twain, to name a few of them) but by palp magazines, comic books, radio shows, novels, and other forms of rock. There is a wonderful description of a magic shop in *Shoppe* Keeper, and in *Opium* Ellison's penchant for injecting jokes into macre dreams is at its fierest best. Marie again, slowly bleeding to death from a rabizorble incarnation in her arm.

That's nice; sort of Bruce J.

MAX GORDON
St. Martin's Press. $12.95
this slim volume (146 pages) is an entertaining account by Gordon, the sole proprietor of New York's old jest饼库. Gordon has a way of taking the reader into his confidence as if he overtakes a cup of coffee in the Vanguard and settles for Perkham. Set perhaps Gordon is not the sharp-edged scribe that Nat Hentoff makes
him out to be in the introduction, but Gordon gets his story across quite well.
Gordon was a failed law student, a seemingly unlikely candidate for enrepresencehip, but he opened a depression coffee shop (the Van guard) which featured, in turn, the most glamorous revoice boasting an unknown named Judy Holland, folklershaker Josh White and Leadomics, from Wally Cox to Lemma Bruce. From the early 1950s to the present, Gordon has standily survived as a leading figure it would have been more financially expedient to book rock groups.
The strongest points of the book are Gordon's discursive word portraits of the artists who have played the Van Gogh and his contemporaries and interesting chapter deals with the patron/adversary role he was forced to play with Miles Davis. Don't talk to him. Don't talk to him. You're a white man and don't forget. Dice seemingly enjoyed laughing
his accumulated wealth, offering Gordon the services of his tailor, girlfriend or the use of his luxurious whirlpool bath
By contrast, the chapter on Charles Mingus consists of a kitchen dialogue between Gordon and Mingus that gives Dan Egan, Richard Richmond, We learn more about the politics of Mingus ghostbird Mingus Dynasty, than we do about the man himself. Stories and rumors are often accounted more aca-zately elsewhere.
A final word about truth in advertis-
ing the photo on the duasket collage
gardon with an array of celebrities
in front of the Vanguard. There are also many photos inside, but several of those picture are not men
and women text, save for cautions. To include two of these, they probably never even played the Vanguard, and omit him from the story is less than honest.

The Phono Cartridge
Of all the components in your h/ü system, the most improbable, the most unlikely invention of all, is the phono cartridge. Looking like a small, colorful toy, it sits on the end of the treadmill, it is supported to translate the extremely fine grooves in phono records into clean sparkling sound. Further, the stylus must track these grooves at a speed of more than a thousand feet per minute. And while the stylus tracks the whoa that wiggle back and forth a million times a minute.
While doing all this the syllabus jugs a tiny rood, a cadmium, and this, in turn, moves a magnet, or a coil of wire, or a rod of iron, giggling them at the same incredible rate. These are the cables, vaping in the magnetic field supplied by the moving magnet, that change movement into an equivalent audio electric current.
But that isn't the whole story. The phono cartridge must be able to respond to peak amplitudes of about 10 with average amplitudes of less than 0.0001 dB and loudest and softest sounds, and to forces producing accelerations commonly in excess of 1200 times the force of gravity and sometimes greater than 4000 feet. Any astronaut subjected to such force would become subjected to human floblity
As a final requirement, the stylus
must respond uniformly to these changes in amplitude, something that is often called a frequency response, or the response of a terminated uniform amplitude response.
Also, as a crowning insult, the sculpt of the phono camera must travel in the exact center of the record grooves, where it changes shape slightly change in that groove, not moving its own valuation, but only in response to the configuration of the image.
The concept of a photo cartridge is bizarre, but the system does work and works well enough for us to enjoy the music supplied by phono records.
Theoretically, the stylus should move only when forced to do so. But there is a law of Nature that a body in motion tries to stay in motion and a body at rest tries to remain that way. A guitar can produce movements not dictated by its own wills, thus supplying sounds that were never created by an orchestra.
The lower the mass of the styli tip, the more accurately it will track transient signals which require precision coatings to achieve transmission. To reproduce high frequency overtones the styl tip must be tiny so as make good, firm contact with the high frequency modulations in the grooves. But there is a penalty. The greater the tip, the greater the pressure on the tip and the salt is that the vinyl can become de

formed by the style travels through 2. The phono cartridge can ionized capacitors or the preamp. There may be a radical change in response when connecting a cartridge to a different preamp because the electrical characteristics of the cartridge vary with capacitance—can vary from one preamp to the next and not necessarily those of different manufacturers. So while the response of a cartridge may be reasonably flat from 20% to 80% RH, it may so after the preamp gives a grip on it.

Not only can the preamp behave in a villainous manner, so can the photo record records are made of vinyl, an electronic material. The line the vinyl is going to push back against the styling. If, when listening to a record you note that instruments have a sort of metallic sound, then you can easily add action (or perhaps, AD-CD).

Records aren't perfect, a choice understatement. Manufacturers try to make the pickup cartridge, its headshell and the tormear as light as possible for durability in record warp. But you can help too. Clean records with a professional record cleaner, not soap or detergent and water. Keep records in their protective cover with an antifabric coat with an antithetic drug or an unintended mat beneath the disc. Clean the stylus with a stylus brush and follow the manufacturer's instructions in its manual. Turntable records turntable, push down at the center to make sure the spindle comes completely through the center hole of the disc. Don't play records with the turntables discover in its up position. These don't require a recommendation on tracking force.
