Nebraska victory excites swim team
By JIM SMALL Sports Writer
The Kansas men's swim team is on a streak that will hopefully bring the Jayhawks their 11th Big Eight Conference team. The team and team members are excited about it.
KU is fresh off a victory this weekend against reigning Big Eight champion Nebraska and will carry a 4-4 record in championships next month in Norman, Okla.
"THE TEAM IS real confident and ready to go, said junior sprinter Jim Rowland. "The biggest thing about us is that we are consistent. Everyone has swum consistently well. A lot of other Big Eight teams haven't done that."
Much of the reason for Rowland's optimism can be found in the Nebraska match.
With the big Jayhawk for an audience, Kansas diver Ben Spencer heads for the water during Saturday's dual swim meet with Nebraska at Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks defeated the Cornshakers 68-45.
Before the meet, KU Coach Bill Spahn said that for the Jayhawks to win the Big Eight Championship they would need to have a 6-4 victory. But did just that, pulling off a 68-45 victory.
KU started off at a torrid pace in the meet. winning the first four events.
Leading Kansas was Rowland, who won the 200-meter freestyle and 100 freestyle, Bob Vince, who captured the 500 freestyle and co-captain Steve Koehler who set a pool record in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:54.32.
"I think that we took them by surprise at the beginning." Spahn said. "I think that our winning those first few events got them a little down."
NOT ONLY DID the Jayhawks swim well, but Spaun said that he saw
potential in KU's diving. Nebraska is considered by most coaches to be the Big Eight power in diving.
"We really showed improvement in divener," he said. "Mark Marphy finished second in three-meter divener. I was very pleased."
Rowland said he expected greater things out of the Cornhuskers when the two teams meet at the conference championships.
"WE SWAM WELL Saturday, but in three weeks it could be different," he said.
Spahn also expects a tougher test from Nebraska later in the season.
"We beat Nebraska twice last year by a wider margin than at Saturday's meet and they turned around and won Eight Championship." Rowland led.
“There is no doubt that he is the leader of this team,” Spahn said. “Everyone on the team knows that and everyone on the respects himself.”
Graves is also respected by people who are involved with swimming programs around the leaue.
"I have been aware of him for several years," Nebraska Coach Cal Benz said. "He is a fine swimmer and an outstanding young man. I have a lot of respect for him as do the swimmons on this team."
this team.
For four years Graves has been a mainstay in the KU program. He has swam at the NCAA championships
every year that he has been at KU and is expected to be among those competing for national honors this year in Austin, Texas.
LAST YEAR WAS perhaps Graves' finest year. He finished 14th in the 100 breaststroke at the NCAA meet at Cambridge, Mass.
"I enjoy competing in the national's because it gives me a chance to see different parts of the country," he said. "It's just a lot of fun."
Graves has broken six Big Eight
But the story of Steve Graves goes beyond his accomplishments in the pool, according to Spahn.
records and is the current conference record-holder in the 300 and 400 individual medleys. He also holds school records and is the first coach on the 200 and 400 individual medleys.
"He'll be a very successful person in what he ever does," Spahn said. "He is a very hard worker at whatever he does, and that means that wants to do well in life and will he."
Graves, perhaps better than anyone else, displays the qualities that make the good student athlete. Competing in a sport that requires 6:30 a.m. practice to go along with two-hour afternoon workout, Graves still manages to maintain a 3.5 grade point average with a major in accounting.
"FOR AS MUCH and as hard as we work it is pretty hard for anyone to do well in the classroom, "Spain said. "It is good to believe that he is doing so well."
Graves prefers to shrug off his classroom achievements as part of a daily routine.
"I just sit down after dinner to study," he said. "It takes a little discipline and a lot of studying on weekends, but most of the other guys on team do well in school also. I don't think I'm different from anyone else."
Graves said that he was also optimistic at the Jayhawks' chances at the conference championship.
KU women's loss should help against KSU, KU coach says
By SANDY CLARK Sports Writer
If there's any such thing as a timely loss, Kansas" women's basketball team may have had one Saturday.
Taking their No. three ranking and 10-game winning streak into Detroit, the Jayhawks were riding high. So high that the unranked Titans caught them. KU paid the price, losing 82-64 and going to sixth in the national rankings.
The Jayhawks will have a chance to show renewed respect for their opponents when they meet the Kansas State football team in Allen Field House. Thoop is at 7:30.
KU Head Coach Marian Washington
has more grateful for the loss than
bitter.
The 'Jayhawks' overconfidence was understandable considering that they had won nine of their last 10 games by 20 points or more. At times during that period they even won when they didn't play their best.
"THERE'S NO DOUBT about it that this loss will help us," she said. "We've played 24 games and won 20 of them. I think things like this happen for a reason. This might have been just what we needed to push us."
But KU, with a second-rate effort, couldn't get past a surprisingly tough Detroit team. The Jayhawks shot only 30 percent from the field and 50 percent from the free throw line. They suffered a miserable drought in the first half, missing all six of their free throw attempts.
That performance could be easily forgotten with a victory over K-State tonight.
"TMO GLAD we have this K-State game so soon," Washington said. "I will help us forget that whole but experience. I know the kids are eager to

We're winners and we're not going to allow this to be a negative experience."
The Wildcats would also like to forget their bad experience at Drake over the weekend. They were easily beaten by the Bulldogs, 94-74.
"The confidence is definitely down," K-State Head Coach Lymick Heydon said. "We've lost a couple of games that we should have won. I think Drake is the second best team in the division to KU, we shouldn't have gotten best that bad."
Nothing would get the Wildcats' confidence back up faster than a win over KU, but that may not be easy.

You Must Remember This...
LOOK...
Up in your head!
Faster than a speeding bullet. More mysterious than a KGB agent. Able to improve like a weak force in tennis. It files, retrieves, and more. It's your memoir, and it takes for granted and one that still baffles scientists.
One theory most neuroscientists and psychologists accept is the concept of short. and long-term memory. Short-term refers to data retained for immediate use such as an unfamiliar phone number, dialed once before a call. You also ability to recall your Social Security number without hesitation involves the use of long-term memory.
Although the mystery of memory has yet to be unraveled fully, one fact is certain. Our information-retrieval systems can undoubtedly be improved with practice. Most attempts to maximize the ability—the capacity—to link a newly learned fact to a tidbit already learned and stored in the mind. For example, you remember where
you left your keys by recalling what you did when you walked through the door the previous evening. In return, the owner brain a cue that triggers the memory connection.
Those Days Are Gone
It would be nice if total recall could pall you through that next exam, but your days of photographic memory are probably behind you. You might need that nearly a fourth of all children under the age of 10 possess this ability to look at something such as a printed page and then read it back as if looking at a picture. You would not photograph recalls tends to disappear by the end of adolescence. As a kid it probably didn't perform any particular function, nor did it enhance your memory, so the technique went to flab. Better hit the books early instead
Marathon Memory
Jogging may actually sharpen your mind while it improves your body.
According to John Cacioppe of Notre Dame College
in Ohio, people think more efficiently after their heart rates have been accelerated in the exercise that running or participating in other vigorous sports can heighten your mental
Cacopoe's studies indicate that a slight increase in the heart rate corresponds with improved performance on multiple-choice tests. It also enhances the ability to organize thoughts and arrange evidence in oral arguments.
Every Picture Tells A Story
Why is it you can remember all the words to a song you learned in high school, but can't remember the names of any other word yesterday? It happens because visual capacity—the ability to retain pictures and patterns (including musical and rhythmic patterns) is innate. It also means that mental memory capacity—the ability to recall words. According to memory trainer Robert L. Montgomery, 85 years old, we comprehend and remember is learned through the eyes, 11 percent is obtained through the ears, only or 3 or 4 percent of what we remember in real life, or smell. If your chemical prof were to put his lecture to
music deliver it in rhyme or have you visualize formulas as pictures, chances to explore them along today in chemistry.
And If You Can't Remember What You Had For Lunch...
Here's one more reason to eat right: recent experiments by Dr. Richard J. Roberts of the Michigan endocrine regulation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, indicate that choline, a food substance found in fish and fish has a strong impact on the brain's ability to produce an important neurochemical called arelactin, which improves the memory.

What's the Game of the Name?
Almost everyone can spot a familiar face, although we're often a little hard-pressed to match a name with memory. Harry Loraine, memory expert of talk-show fame and co-host of The View (7.44, $7.95) says that "forgetting" names is simply not getting them; it means not really hearing them in the first place.
