Owens looks to fans for edge against Cowboys Jayhawk's opponent best of second division last game in Allen Field House. KU's seniors John Cra Valent
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 grips 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 COMPLAINTS 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 Eagle during the regular season, plays Oklahoma in the first round. The Kansas State team
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 joyhawks the chance to face the Cowboys against them in back-to-back games presents some problem for their opponents. ADVANTURE, KU's Head Coach Todd Owens said:
"I TELIPS 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."
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 on Saturday's game, Owens said, and despite lagging ticket sales, he hopes to see a larger crownton tonight.
"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."
"it's vital that we have the student support for this game. OSU is a dangerous road team. They
beet 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 the support that we get, 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 could potentially help him out of the starting lineup for two games.
John Crawford, 8- forward, 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 against NI and had 15 points and 12 rebounds against Oklahoma State. Crawford will start tonight, Owens said.
"VICTOR HAD A good practice yesterday and I would anticipate that he will be ready to play."
Paul Hansen, coach of the Cowboys, is looking at tonight's game as a chance to get into the NHL.
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 THAT 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 where you are going to get (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 Frank Frazier.
The second team was Jack Moore, Nebraku; Ed Nedley, Kansas State; Chuck Barnett, Illinois; Tim Johnson.

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
14 points. Oklahoma, with 126, finished second.
14 points. Alabama, with 128, finished second.
"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.
"The team put in more than 100 percent . . . they put in 120 percent. It was a total team effort."
Ten Big Eight records were set in the meet including Tudie McKnight's event-winning leap from 12-4 to 13-1, qualified her for the AWL national championship, which will be held March 13-14 in Pocatello, Idaho.
Women's swim team extends streak
"I'm REAL HAPPY." McKnight said. "This jumps 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 in the 220 relay.
The Jayhawks have qualified four athletes for the national championships. Lori Green-Jones, already qualified, finished third in the 300 at the conference championships.
Gwenpos, who qualified for the national championships earlier this season, won the 60-yard harden with a time of 8.02, edging teammate Justin Fargas with a time of 8.06 qualified her for the national.

JOE "KING" CARRASCO & THE CROWNS
(Hamblin Records) If party music is a lost art, nobody told these guys. The band has put the word "Joe" King "Carasco and the Crowns debort LaPont don't just cook — they parrot, deep fry and barbecue. It's the only thing that matters since the invention of the polka and long overdure proof that the best rock is played straight in the feet, not the song.
Texas breed Jeb and his rollicking Greens recall a galaxy of trashy Tex Mex, rock and R&B heroes on this delightful album, including Sam the Musician, the Swinning Medallions, The Mysterians, the Swinning Medallions, the Kingmen and a host of others. Yet it's not so much the disseminate infinity of their music as the poignant rogo rhythms — that endow this outing with an authentic good time feels it really the group's own exuberant energy. They don't invite you to dance
Nominally, the band uses the Tex-Mex mumbia rock of South Texas much as a good Mexican chef would use refried beans — a hearty and nourishing base to which are added tomatoes and green chilies. Aural auraita tastils has all sorts of musical flavor buds at the same time and the whole concession slides down with a pleasant sizzling sensation. Genuine rock primitives, the Crowns of Tucson and the Crimson Kris Cummin's Parfus organ — have accomplished the impossible, a record with no bad cus. Songs career to each other with hapless and happy abandon Not only are there no slow songs between cues but cries crackles with energy.
Dancing, laughing, eating — Joe *King* and the Crown recall all to which might also be added, drink, leching, and howling at the moon.
SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET Border Wave
(Takema)—As gratifying as it is to welcome back long gone musicianisms, such affairs have a way of being preamidal. One thinks of such mischief in songs and unison, short lived jokes by the Righteous Bros. and Four Seasons, the ill-advised "return" of Sam the Sham or Country Joe and the Fish. Most shock of recognition wears off and embrace turns warm quickly. coldly
All of which makes the reunion of *Sir* D'Agou Salm with members of his original Quinnet who an unexpected achievement, best music Alicia's lacinic Salm has ever made, and it surely matters that he's making it with "Mendocino" era accompanies "Odoge" Meyer and John Grosso with Alvin Crow and Speed Stunts.
Tings get off to a hot start with what sounds like the fasthest, most up-tempo opening of *The Kinke*: "Who'll Be the Next in Line." There is a junky, 1965-ish read of Roxy Erickson's (and the 13th-century) *Wind*. You can't beat "Me" that restores all of that cheesiness.
pre-pychedelic glory. And there’s a drastically improved update of ‘Revo bautionary Ways’ one of the understated works from Sir Doug Laytates solo career.
Univ Law
Most impressive are the Quintet's new songs—Crow's "Tonite Tonite" (Meyer's organ弦剧 should at least get a full score) and the Schoenberg-solla polk-dotted title cut, "It was Fun While It Lasted" and "Old Habits as songs as fine any as his ever been."
DCCR
There are few requirements for anyone like this record. New Wavers, if you want to be an artist none should have any reservations whatsoever. In an age when mass appeal equals bland, along comes the raucous waltzes of our "crusader" eats mean.

RY COODER Borderline
If Borderline has one deficiency, it is that Cooler's rewritten slide guitar is featured too sparingly. Though his stunts are impressive, he's tracked ("Train Your Move Too Soon" most notably), we're left wanting to hear more. Then he can be a difficult, overly precise artist, and I will not forbid his music for his music us over
(*Warmer Broo*) After dabbling in such exoticism as Hawaiian guitar sylvis (*Chicken Skin Music*) and antique jazz-tools music (Jazz). By Cooler songs, it is no wonder we wish to develop at length *Borderline* finds the veteran guitarist pursuing a Latin/blues/pop direction, caping a solo piece of *outside* romance, fast living.
Tex-Mex melodies and rhythms are in vogue in rock at the moment, making this LP very much in step with the times. Goober brings out the plaintive, joyful rhythm of this album through lively, unloved arrangements. A number of his sidemen distinguishes themselves, particularly drummer Jim Kelner and organist Wilt Schoonover for authenticity While some of Cooler's choices for material ("Speedo," "Down in the Boondocks") might seem unlikely ones for this alum, but they turn out well—every song includes a Cinnamon serene intimation and follow.

'8 $^{0/81}$ Pat Metbenj
(*ECM*) When a leader surrounds himself with talents like saxophonists Dewey Redman and Mike Brecker, musicians like Jon Delhistoire, provocative and aluring sounds are expected and 80/81' is surely that Slaying temporarily from the spotlight. Like Metheny guitarist Metheny seeds new ground here and often lands solidly, even managing to overcome manlier Musicians' envy for sameness within a project.
The two-disc outing is in four hours. You can open its windows with freeraster taking the melody in full, rounded tones then soloning at length over a high-charged rhythm from the beginning of the song.
