Clutch charity shots lift 'Hawks over MU, 63-55
By KEVIN BERTELS Sports Editor

Twice in last night's game against the Miami Tigers MU guard Jon Sandvold found himself the only player on a KU player and, with no success in foul, the second ruled intentional by the officials.
While some of the 18,000 KU fans and the KU team may have thought the play somewhat usportsmanlike, few could argue with the strategy. The Jayhawks had hit very few free throws at that point in the game. They had made only 5-of-16 with seven minutes to play.
KU is now 3-0 in the Big Eight Conference, tied with Oklahoma State for the league lead.
IN THE LAST seven minutes, any foul by MU,
intentional or otherwise, only helped the Tigers
to cut their own thrushes as the 30-ranked KU
yesterday in a win and in a row 14-6
with the name. 63-88
KU's late free throw success did not surprise junior forward David Magley.
"Early on I said to myself, 'We really need these,' but he didn't. We had to have them, we would hit them.' he said.
KU Head Coach Ted Owens was counting on the experience and maturity of his team late in
"WE KNEW WENE the game was on the line we had to produce," he said. "We are a good free throw shooting team and it is awfully important, especially many times, that we are an experienced team."
For most of the first half, it did not look like KU would need any late streaks to win. The Jayhawks were shooting well and, with seven minutes to play in the half, had a 25-18 lead.
in nouse fast seven minutes MU scored 10 points to KU's 4 and at the half KU held only a two-point lead. Most of the problem, Owens said, was poor rebounding.
"I was concerned at the half because Missouri was dominating the boards," he said. "I knew coming in that that would be a key in the game, the rebounding. Our defense played well throughout the game but our offense didn't perform until the final 10 minutes of the first half. We didn't make any big adjustments, just played harder."
While the Jayhawks were playing harder, Missouri was producing more points. The second half opened with two MU baskets and the Tigers led by 2. Until KU began its free throw streak the game stayed close, with a four-point MU lead being the widest margin.
The Jayhawks first big break came with 8:04 left in the second half when Missouri forward Ricky Frazier, the second leading scorer in the Big Eight with 13.9 points a game, fouled out. He led MU in scoring with 13 points but his fifth foul put up seven, and one portion of these being KU's own foul troubles, according to junior guard Tony Guy, who led KU with 16 points.
"WHEN HE FOULED out, I didn't say the game was ourours, but I said that it was a relief," Guy said. "Prader gets up high and draws a ball." But Prader hn out of the game was a relief to mind."
The foul situation was a problem for both coaches, but in the end it was Missouri that was most hurt. Four Tigers fouled out; Frazier, Curtis Berry, Sundvold and Ron Jones.
For KU, only Darnell Valentine fouled out, and that was with '51: left and KU holding a three-point lead that it then lengthened to 10. Missouri Coach Norm Stewart had some words about the officiating after the game, to go with some comments made to the officials during the game.
The rough inside game was one source of irritation.
"We would like (sophomore center Steve) Stipanovich to make more trips to the free throw line than the hospital," he said.
VALENTINE'S six skates also raised his ire but he could not offer a plan to stop him.
"There is apparently no way to do so," he said.
"We're administering first aid in the locker room."
Missouri had trouble against a press against Louisville, a team they lost to on Sunday 71-49. KU was prepared to take advantage of what Owens thought was weak ballhandling.
Coach Owens told us that Missouri doesn't like pressure," senior John Crawford said. "They don't have good ball handling. They have Frazier and Wade, who are playing in high school he played mostly in the pivot."
The Jayhawks ended the game with 13 steals.
10 of those in the first half when they used a half-court press. A man-to-man defense also worked when the Jaywahks were forced to use it against the Titers' stall midway through the second half.
"The man-to-man defense was a key," Owens said. "We played it early and it caused several turnovers. Late in the second half we went to it and it helped us to be aggressive in all phases."
Tony Guy also said that the Tigers man-to-man was, if not an advantage for the Jayhawks, at least a pleasant change for a team that has grown accustomed to zones.
"WE LIKE A TEAM to come out and say
'We're going to five.' Let's play
and who is better, 'he said.'
Last night, Kansas was better, but not especially good according to Owens.
"This was obviously a big victory for our team," he said. "We were not using all of our qualities to be successful, but when the vital part of the game came we did the things that we had to do to win. But we can't continue to put our hands on high positions. That's not good per centages."
The victory was the ninth consecutive for the Jayhawks and their record is now 13-2. Missouri
In other Big Eight action last night Oklahoma State defeated Kansas State 90-83. Colorado beat Nebraska 62-59 and Oklahoma lost to Iowa State 81-70.

The Jayhawks' offensive attack was balanced with 11 of 13 players breaking into the scoring column. Following Woodard were Megan Scott and Chris Stewart, who chipped in 10 points each and Claxton, who had nine. Freshman Lynne Lowry added eight points for the Jayhawks.

Rovals trade Barranca for Reds' Geronimo
KANAS CITY, MO. (UPI)—The Kansas City Royals announced the acquisition of four-time gold glove-winning center fielder Cesar Geronimo from the Cincinnati Reds yesterday in exchange for minor league infielder German Barranca.
Geronimo, 32, has a 260 average over 10 major league seasons. He spent nine seasons with Cincinnati and won four straight gold gloves from 1974 through 1977. His best year was in 1976
Geronimo hit .255 in 103 games for the Reds last season.

Around the Track
By PAULD. BOWKER Sports Writer
Jay Reardon, a University of Kansas graduate and a former three-event competitor with the Jayhawks, may have accidentally discovered a new way of preparing for a track meet.

have been there." "I haven't been practicing that much," Reardon said, laughing, after his record-setting jump. "I've been playing a little basketball."
"I really surprised me. This is better than I ever did when I was in school."
REARDON'S PERFORMANCE left KU Coach Bob Timmons wondering whether he and other track coaches have been preaching the right things.
"He may have revolutionized the high jump." Timmons said. "He hasn't jumped since he was young."
When he was healthy, Reardon was one of KU's top athletes before he graduated last year. He finished second behind KU's Joe Light in the NCAA Basketball Championship and fifth in the Big Eight Outdoor last season.

During his freshman year he scored 18 points in the Big Eight meets and won the Kansas Relays long jump. Between those two peaks, however, his luck with injuries was terrible.
He's still recovering from the injuries he's
A KNEE INJURY required surgery during his apoptomy. Pear and a pallium harmless cost him $15,000.
TRACK NOTES: KU should be at the top of the Big Eight on the track again this season, according to Iowa State Coach Bill Bergan. "Kansas is out way in front."
Clint Johnson, a national prep champion in the shot put and discuss last year at Shawnee Mission South High School in Kansas City, finished second at the state-level State dual but Bob Timms still has confidence.
"I don't think we need to recruit anyone harder than Clint," Timmons said.
