It's Cullowhee in March For KU Girl's Basketball
By DEANNE WATTS Kansan Staff Writer
The University of Kansas two championship basketball teams, but one of them definitely will not go to Houston this month. The other will probably be named the Jayhawks, will in Culweiler, N.C.; March 24 through 27 to compete in the Division of Girls' and Women's Sports National tournament (DGWS).
The tournament invitation is a result of the Jawwaks' tie with Alabama. McPherson College for first place in the Kansas State tournament. A win for the tournament was held the weekend of March 6 at Kansas State University.
AUTHOUGH THE TEAM'S budget will allow only nine of its eleven players to go to the DGWS outlook is optimistic. Coach Martine Mawson, assistant professor of physical education, taught at the game that we played against K State in the state tournament, there's no doubt that we can beat Jake Hawkins. The Jayhawks beat K State 5-2.
Steph Norris, Wichita freshman and KU's leading scoring scorer for the Jayhawks, thought the Jayhawks had the potential to be "just as good as a starter."
The team's toughest opponents in the DGWS tournament will be California State College at Fullerton, Calif., and Westchester Chester, Pa., who took first and second in last year's tournament.
If the Student Senate allocates enough money to have a women's golf team, they will have a bright future, because most of their star players will be returning. Six players are fresh from college, and three are seniors. Eight are physical education majors. All joined the team through tryouts held last week.
MISS MAWSON SAID the team's greatest problem is finding space in which to practice. The program is so large that the Jayhawks were allowed the use of three two hours twice a week this year.
"If we get any more time we have to make it between intramural games," Miss Mawson said. "It’s tough to do that and
keep going, but the kids are dedicated and what it takes to get some space and time they'll do."
The women returned from spring break early for four hours practice per day, including the morning session, been allowed to use the Allen Field House court normally used by the men's varsity squad until summer.
Miss Mawson attributed the Jayhawks' 5-5 season partly to the lack of practice time. A weekend series in western Alabama injured an injured starting player also burt the team's record.
HOWEVER, FOUR OF the losses were to co-champions K-19 and 26. Mawson was the quality of the competition between the three is reflected in the fact that both KU players are recruited by team DGWS. McPherson, who players are recruited and given training for the DGWS but will participate
the American Athletic Union tournament in Amarillo, Tex.
The women have also borrowed plays from the men. They mostly on one side and the other, they have received help with their offensive plays from some of the men.
The rules the Jayhaws play by are similar to men's rules. The players always wear a uniform that format has been changed to the five-player format used by men. However, the women have a 30 second period in which receiving possession of the ball, which prevents stalling and the use of a half-court press. In the women's game, play, free throws are always two shots to prevent deliberate fouling. Teams also play four shots rather than two-minute halftime.
Argentina's presidential palace is known as the "Pink House" because of its color.
Coming into **Thursday's** Midwest Regional encounter with Kansas with a 21-6 record, the team defended on only foreign courts and for the most part only to top ten teams and will come equipped with more than enough power to out of the Jayhawks' sails.
WICHTH-A Houston coach Guy Lewis has what has been called a typical Courage team that is pressing defensive tactics and percentage shots. All this has carried the team to a typical outstanding Houston record of 17-4 against the nation's longest schedules.
Half of the losses have come at the hands of teams ranked within the top eight for Tuesday. One of course were to Kansas (89-73 in the championship game of the Jayhawk and Gatorade games) others were to fifth-ranked Southern California, 77-64, and sixth-ranked South Carolina, 88-
The other losses were to South eastern Conference runnerup Tennessee, 79-58, Loyola, 92-89, and West Texas State, 86-

"We're just glad he he's on playing," Owens said, "but it doesn't change any plans against them."
Lewis has replaced Hickman with a homegrown product—6-4 Jerry Bonney. To date Bonney has averaged 8.6 points per joining him in the star rankings (7.9), 6.7 Steve Newsome (10.0), 6-3 Poo Welch (18.3) and 6-7 Dawson Davis (20.1).
Welch and Davis have carried the Cougars most of the way and will be the two principal threats the Jayhawks must concern themselves with. In the first form, Kfk had the right formula as Davis managed only eight points while Welch hit for 12.
The Jayhawks will leave at noon today for the trip and are scheduled to workout in Wichita at 3:00 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. The team will headquarters in the new Holiday Inn Plaza in downtown Wichita, just two blocks north of the Century II convention center.

Oklahoma and Texas last week because of this prior commitment.
One problem has been coaching. The team had been woken up early and second semester when Bob Lock-wood was named to take over. He is also coach for the gymnasium and preparing for the Big Eight conference meet this weekend. A lot of coaches are on every road trip to Arkansas,
The Jawhawk tennis season began last week with five days of competition during spring break. The season is characterized by basic problems, is strong and with the help of four returning players, it has a great chance at the conference title.
Lockwood's assistant with the team, said Keoward, just recent week. Lockwood obligated and joined the coach after offering a few days on their road trip.
Even more crucial to the team however, is their need for game experience.
"Our problem, of course, is the weather we've had." Lockwood said. "We've only been outside four times."
"We are good in strokes," said Lockwood, "we look real good on the court. But, up and down and back, we have quite game oriented yet." he said.
When the Hawks met Arkansas they had not played any matches but played games in their own practice. Arkansas had already had eight victories before this season.
