Manning had 22 points and 6 rebounds in a 70-65 victory over Nebraska and then scored a career-high 35 points on 15-of-16 shooting and had also 12 rebounds in an 80-74 victory against the State. The 6-10 Manning also had seven assists and five steals in the two games.

Silverdome roof collapses
PONTIAC, Mich. — The roof of the Detroit Silverdome, home of the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Lions, collapsed under the weight of heavy snow and ice
A Lions spokeswoman said several members of the NFL team were working out in the Silverdome when the synthetic liner broke out before noon, but there were no injuries.
Last night's NBA game between the Pistons and the Milwaukee Bucks was immediately canceled. A team spokesman said it was not immediately known what would be done for the remainder of this week's home games.
Heavy, wet snow started falling in the Detroit area Sunday night. Maintenance crews fought a losing battle to keep the tom's inflatable roof free of ice and snow.
Damage to both the exterior and the interior was described as considerable. There was no immediate dollar estimate of the damage.
Officials said there were three large rips in the roof and several smaller ones. A big section of concrete fell in and tore out a section of the seats. Snow and rain fell on the form roof and damaged the basketball floor and electronic scoreboard.
Jim Brown reports released
LOS ANGELES — Former football great Jim Brown allegedly punched a woman in the face and stomach repeatedly, choked her nearly unconscious and threatened to break her rubs before raping her on a month, police reports disclosed yesterday.
The previously sealed reports were filed in Municipal Court last week, with an inventory of items seized as evidence of the search of Brown's home in Hollywood Hills.
The woman, a 33-year-old substitute school teacher, told police that Brown hit her in the face and stomach, choked her, then forcibly carried her into his bedroom and threw her on his bed, where she continued to struggle.
Brown was booked on suspicion of rape while Moses was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery. Neither have been formally charged.
Brown, 49, a former star fullback for the National Football League's Cleveland Browns, allegedly raped the woman with his gun to his companion, Carol Moshes, 22, on Feb. 19.
The district attorney's office is expected this week to decide whether to file charges in the case. Prosecutor Vivian Somoza said further investigation of the case needed to be completed before a decision could be made.
Brown's attorney, Johnnie Cochran, was not available to comment.
Hall of Fame Bowl renamed
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The 8-year old Hall of Fame bowl will be known as the All-American Bowl from now on. Birmingham will announce foundation officials announced yesterday.
Renaming the college bowl became necessary when an agreement with the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame was canceled in a dispute over how much of the game profits the Birmingham Football Foundation could keep.
Boo Dody, 1985 bass president, said about 8,000 entries were made in a "Name Maker" program.

Jayhawks face Cornhuskers tonight
Young guard takes on role as defender
By TONY COX Sports Writer
Lisa Dougherty, freshman guard, guards Oklahoma's Lee Brock in the Jayhawks game. Fence Dougherty is a change at High School of Leavenworth.
When Lisa Dougherty came to the University of Kansas after being a two-time all-state selection at Leavenworth High School and averaging 23.4 points per game her senior year, people might have expected her to be a great offensive player.
But Dougherty, a five-foot-eight forward-guard, has made her mark in another way during her freshman season on the women's basketball team — defense.
"In high school I was depended on to score," Dougherty said yesterday. "I had to score at least 18 points in a game, or it wouldn't be a good game. Here. I may score two or not at all, and I can still feel as if I've had a good game."
Dougherty played her role well as a scorer at Leavenworth. She set a school record with 35 points in one game and was an honorable mention All-American.
For the Jayhawks, she has played in all 27 games, six as a starter
DOUGHERTY IS GENERALLY the first or second chair of the bench, KU head coach. Washburn
"I don't have any regrets of starting or anything. I feel comfortable coming of the beat."
"She's a hard worker," she said. "You can always depend on Lisa's effort out there. She may make some mistakes like everybody else, but you can always count on her effort."
Changing from a focus on offense to defense when she came to KU didn't bother her.
"People always talk about that sixth player, and she's certainly done a great job for us. Lisa's just a very serious, very tough coach, coachable, intense young athlete."
"Some of my experiences starting this year haven't been too good," she said. "Sometimes I came out fouling or turning the ball over.
Dougherty has enjoyed coming off the bench, she said.
"Vickie Adkins and Mary Myers are our key scores. I enjoy really play defense. I
"I THINK I need to become a more aggressive shooter." Dougherty said. "I don't shoot a whole lot. I'm not the kind of person who like I need to be shooting a lot to be noticed.
just hope that I can play up to my abilities and satisfy Lisa."
Dougherty is part of a very young Jayhawk squad. She is one of eight freshmen on the team. The team's team will make for a very young team in future seasons, Dougherty said.
"They're so many of us and we're getting experience," she said. "It's going to show. It's good that we're getting experience now and maturing together."
"I definitely think we can take the Big Eight," she said. "We haven't really played up to our potential against any of the Big Eleven," she said, "but time now. Hopefully, we're at our peak."
Dougherty has averaged 7.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in Big Eight play and 6.5 points and 2.8 rebounds overall. Her season-high is 11 points on two occasions.
BUT DOUGHERTY IS quick to point out that this season is not over yet.

Probable starters for Nebraska are Debra Powell and Maurtie Iv at forwards, Angie Miller at center, and Stacy Imming and Cathy Owens at guards.
PROBABLE STARTERS FOR KU are Vickie and Barbara Adkins at forwards, Philicia Allen at center, and Sherri Stoecker and Mvers at guards.
KU, which finished the regular season in third place in the Big Eight, is 9-5 in the conference and 18-9 overall. Nebraska finished sixth in the Big Eight with a 9-6 victory over 17 overall opponents. The Cornhuskers upset second-place Oklahoma 102-9 on Saturday in Lincoln.

Brown wants fan support against NU
Kellogg led the second-place Jayhawks in scoring with an average of 17.9 points per game and specialized in the spectacular. He scored 39 points at Nebraska against his home-state Cornhuskers, 34 twice on national television against Memphis State and Oklahoma and 30 against Wichita State.
STEVENS, A NATIVE of Flint, Mich., averaged 21.4 points per game to rank third in the league behind Tisdale and Hoppen and lead Iowa State to a school-record 19 victories. He scored 47 points in a game against Morgan State and also became only the first player in Big Ten history to reach the 2,000 career point plateau this season with 2,093.

Hoppen was the only player in the Big Eight to score in double figures every game this season and extended his streak to 62 consecutive games dating back to 1983. He
Thomas, a native of Milledgeville, Ga., led third-place Missouri in scoring with an average of 17.7 points per game and was also considered the premier defensive player in the conference. He held Stevens to 14 points in shooting in a road victory over Iowa State.
"PATRICK IS NOT going to beat you offensively night after night after night like Wayman. On a bad night, Wayman is going to get 18-to-20. On a good night he might get 40-to-50 and you single-handedly. You have to spend so much of your energy trying to reasonably control him that their other players get better scoring opportunities."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ron Kellogg was named to the United Press International's 1985 All-Big Eight basketball team announced yesterday.
"MALCOL IS THE best defender player in the league." Nebraska coach Moe Iba said.
The same Nebraska team that Kansas defeated Thursday night will come back to Allen Field House tonight for the first round of the Big Eight playoffs.
"Wayman Tisdale may be the most difficult guy to play against in the nation." Colorado Coach Tom Apke said. "If Patrick Brown was in the country, then Wayman Tisdale is 1-A.
Head coach Larry Brown also wants the same crowd to attend tonight's game, but he has a tough schedule.
Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma was the only player named on all 24 ballots by the UPI voting panel, which consisted of three voters from each conference city. Tisdale and Kellogg were joined on the first team by center Dave Hoppen of Nebraska, forwards Barry Stevens of Iowa State and Malcolm Thomas of Missouri.
Tisdale, who was a first-team All-American a year ago and a member of the U.S. gold medal-winning Olympic basketball team last summer, scored over 30 points in eight games this winter with a season-high of 55 coming against Southwestern. He also averaged 9.9 rebounds this season with a high of 22 against Arkansas-Little Rock.
The game starts at 9:10 p.m. and will be televised on channel 62. The doors will open at 10:30 a.m.
THE 6-9 TISDALE be a unanimous All-Big Eight selection for the third straight year as he led the Sooners to their second consecutive conference championship. He
Early in the game on Thursday, Brown turned around to talk to the fans seated behind him.
Kansas' Danny Manning was named to the second team, and Greg Dreiling and Calvin Thompson were among the honorable mentions.
And Brown said his team will need the support of the crowd behind them tonight.
"I just said 'Hey, I think we need help tonight,' he said.
The 6-foot-10 Hoppen and 6-5 Kellogg, who are both Omaha, Neb., nagees, were each named on 23 ballots while the 6-5 Stevens and 6-7 Thomas received 21 votes apiece. Tisdale, Hoppen and Kellogg are all juniors with Stevens and Thomas both seniors.
"I just want to let the fans know that we do not take them for granted. That's what the team wants."
"I know I can't ask the kids to pay to see Brown." said I just want them to make an enquiry.
Ron Kellogg, Kansas forward, also stressed the importance of fan support.
"A good crowd can give a team a real advantage," he said. "We need the help. Against Nebraska last time, it was like the crowd wasn't really in it.
"I think that gave Nebraska more confidence."
SIX GAMES THIS season have been sellouts, but tonight's game probably will not make the seventh. Only 1,500 of the 7,000 student tickets have been sold and only 500 public tickets have been sold. One thousand public tickets have been rented tickets cost $2 and public tickets cost $8.
Four of the six sellouts have come when KU was playing conference teams. The other two sellouts were the Houston and Memphis State games, which were big events for the team as well as the fans. The Oklahoma game was also a big game and was broadcast on national television, as were the Houston and Memphis State games.
"Last year, once we were in the Big Eight,
every game was like a happening," Brown said.
"They are there, which is appreciated,
they don't realize how important they are.
To me, every game is a Houston.
With a wing team, the crowd is really important.
CALVIN THOMPSON, KANSAS guard, said he expected the crowd to be up for tonight's game.
"This crowd has always been good," he said. "They know how important they are. It seems they get into moods just like the team does sometimes.
"But, they'll be ready."
Tonight's game will be the last game at Allen Field House for senior guard Tad Boyle.
Boyle plans to see a lot of action, because of illnesses and injuries that have hit the team. Mark Pellock is still trying to recover from a knee injury, but the game against Oklahoma State.
Greg Dreiling is also suffering from a sore throat but is expected to start. He also is nursing a sore ankle, which he hurt two weeks ago and aggravated in the game against Nebraska
THOMPSON, WHO MISSED the Nebraska game because he had the flu, played Saturday against the Cowboys but had to take a rest from Sunday's practice. Mark Turgseon, who also played Saturday night, did not practice Sunday because he was sick, and Milt Newton and Altono Campbell are having problems with their wisdom teeth.
Yesterday, Brown said he was not sure if he would have to change his line up because of the new system.
Clemson coaches named in grand jury indictment
By United Press International
PICKENS, S.C. — A grand jury indicted three former Clemson University coaches yesterday on misdemeanor charges of prescription drugs to athletes at the school.
The indictments, which named former track coaches Sam Colson and Stan Narewski and former assistant football coach Jack Harkness, came just three days after Clemson President Bill Acheyle and Mr. McLellan asked to be reassessed
The Pickens County grand jury returned the indictments following a two-month investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division.
Narewski is a former KU assistant track coach, and Colson was a KU javelin competitor.
The two track coaches have admitted giving the muscle-relaxing drug phenylbutazone to several members of the track team.
THREE CLEMSON FOOTBALL players also say they received muscle-building steroids from Colson, who doubled as the school's football strength coach.
Colson was named in eight counts while Narewski and Harkness were named in two counts each. Each count is a
misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in jail.
Traxler said Colson and Narewski apparently would turn themselves in today. Hankness in Canada, and others around the world will return voluntarily to face the charges.
Bench warrants will be issued for the arrest of all three men today, 13th Circuit Solicitor William Traxler said.
An autopsy showed Jaspera had died of a congenital heart ailment, but also turned up non-lethal traces of phenylbutazone, for which Jaspers had no prescription.
THE GRAND JURY, however, refused to issue criminal charges in the death of Jaspers and Traxler said there would be no additional indictments.
The drug investigation was prompted by the mysterious death last October of Clifford O. McCulley.
Colson's attorney, John Gentry, said he expected the indictments.
The three men are specifically charged with the possession and distribution of the pain-killers phenylbutazone and methocarbonal and the steroids testosterone, oxymetholone, methandrostenone, oxandrolone and cyponate.
Spring football begins; focus put on academics
Football is probably not the most important sport to Jayhawk fans right now since the basketball team defends its Big Eight tournament title tonight.
Sports Writer
But spring practice is in full swing and will continue until April 12, when the Jayhawks will play their annual blue-red intrasquad game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
Bv DAVID O'BRIEN
Over 100 players were on hand Friday for the team's first practice in Memorial Stadium. Practice was moved into Anschutz Sports Pavilion yesterday because of inclement weather. Thursday the squad will practice before resuming practice after spring break
"THEY REPORTED IN pretty good shape for spring." Goffredt said. The key is that the students are ready.
Gottried said he had started practice earlier than usual this spring because of
Since the team will open the football season early with an Aug. 31 game against the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, Gottfried said he had begun practice early.
This year's team is bigger than in previous years, both in size and in numbers, head coach Robbie Hearn said.
"We also wanted them to have time to study for their final exams." he said.
Junior quarterback Mike Orth missed the team's first two practices due to the death of his father on Feb. 25. Orth, who is expected to compete for the starting position with senior Mike Norseth, returned to practice yesterday.
"It helps to have experienced players back," Gottfried said of the two quarter-backs. "They don't have to be walking on organic shoes. They know what we expect of them."
GOTTRIED SAID NORSETH was now the starting quarterback.
"They're both good players, they're both working hard," the coach said. "But even if you're working hard, you need to work a little harder."
This year's team has many veterans, including 21 of 22 starters off the 1984 squad that finished fourth in the Big Eight with a 6-3 record and a 4-3 mark in the conference.
Several other players who were academically ineligible last year are expected to battle for starting positions this season. Two of them, linebacker Darnell Williams and nose guard Eldridge Avery, are now listed first at their positions on the depth chart.
Three-year letterman Sylvester Byrd, who was red-shirted last season, returns for his senior year and is expected to battle for his former tight end position.
