Injury Hobbles Nash; Others Join Practices
Wilson Barrow and Fred Bosiéliev probably will be available to play in KU's basketball game with Okahanna Saturday in Allen Field House. Neysh might be hobbled.
Nash sprained an ankle when he tried to dribble between two players. He drilled Wednesday. The seriousness of the injury was not known.
Barrow, who didn't suit up on the team, was back. Tech after he missed bed check Sunday night, apparently has been the good graces of coach Todd Night.
"There wasn't any problem," Owens shrugged. "He was just a little late for bed check. He's back with the team now."
So was Bosievic. The senior forward had brushed his right knee last week against Missouri Tech and Georgia Tech games. His right leg was bandaged in much the same way Worth's at practice Wednesday.
Dave Tayne scored his career high against Georgia Tech, but a mistake in sports information led to him missing day had given him two more points than he scored. Taylor's total, originally reported as 29, was 27 points on 12 of 18 field goals and three of three free throws.
The two extra free throws actually belonged to Neal Mask, who hit four of five from the field right from the field for 12 points.

"Our performances haven't looked as good as they should," Lockwood said.
"We can be very strong on the side horse, led by Richard M. Beverly," Overton has done very well. Lockwood said. Overton
'Our weak event is the rings. We lost one kid on eligibility Lockwood added.
"We know we have our hands full in keeping up with Oklahoma. But if we can hit our routes, we have a chance to win." Lockwood said.
After Friday's meet, the KU gymnasts have four dual meets before the Big Eight championship meet March 24-25.
SEC, Ole Miss Call; Travis Returns South
During the last year, the call of Southeastern Conference became irresistible for Larry Travis. KU assistant for ballplay
"This time when he made me the offer it was just too good to turn down," he said.
"When Billy got the head job at Ole Miss last year," Travis said, "he offered me a job, but I turned it down then."
The University of Mississippi announced Wednesday that Travis had accepted a position as the head of its football team, Kinard. Kinard and Travis were both assistant coaches at Florida State and before Travis came to KU in 1986.
Travis was a starting guard for Florida from 1903 to 1902. He then joined the Rodgers, who had been an assistant coach at Florida when he played.

Guevara and LeDuc claim top marks of 58-11⁵ and 56-11¹² respectively.
"I think we'll do well, though. We may not place as high as we have, but I believe we will throw better."
"He started me out lifting weights, Guevara said," "Then I began practicing and found out I could be pretty wood."
Guevara, who is from Newark, N. J., didn't even know what a shotput was until his high school suggested that he try the exert

THE TWO said that Midwestern hospitality and the KU coaching system were the major reasons they had come to

Guevara, however, said he could socialize and still concentrate on winning.
The bully athletes are both quick to point out that shot contests require a high content of strength. They emphasize quickness, agility, coordination, technique and ability to make a powerful release.
