Tennis teams to play outside
Both the men's and women's tennis teams may have to play outside this weekend, but not necessarily by choice.
The men will face Northeast Missouri State today at 2 p.m. on the Allen Field House courts. They will travel to Wichita to face Wichita State at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow. Sunday, they will be back in Lawrence to play Southern Illinois-Carbondale at noon on the Allen Field House courts.
The two matches in Lawrence had to be scheduled outdoors because Alvaram Tennis & Swim Club was not willing to give up weekend court time for the second weekend in a row. If the weather is bad, the outdoor matches will be canceled.
The women will travel to Bellview, Ill., to fill Illinois, SIU-Corbaleand and SIU-Florida.
The tournament was originally scheduled to be played at Oak Hill Racquet Club. However, the lights at the club do not work because of an electrical fire, so the tournament has been forced outdoors.
No changes are expected in the men's singles lineup of Mike Wolf, Michael Center, Charles Stearns, Tim Mahaffy, Larry Pascal and Dave Breed. The doubles ladder has Wolf and Cenier playing No. 1, Pascal and Stearns No. 2, and Mahaffy and Tim McLiney at No. 3.
But the women will have an indoor court to play on if the weather does not let them play outside. Cottonwood Racquet Club will allow the tournament to be played there if the weather turns bad.
The women's single order will be Barbara Inman, Tracy Trees, Cindy Bregin, Laura Runnels, Christine Parr and Debbie Hibbard. Playing No. 1 doubles will be Irman and Parr. Runnels and Janelle Bolen will be No. 2, and Treps and Hibbard will be No. 3.
First-round tickets available
More than 6,000 student tickets are still available for Tuesday's first-round game of the post-season Big Eight Conference men's basketball tournament.
The Jayhawks will play the seventh seeded team at 9:10 p.m. in Allen Field House. The doors will be opened at 8 p.m. Since Monday, 700 of the 7,000 student
Since Monday, 700 of the 7,000 student tickets have been sold for the game.
There are still 1,100 reserved tickets on sale for the game. The ticket office in the field house will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Monday. Tickets will remain on sale until half time of Tuesday's game.
If the women's team earns a home court bid, it will play at 5:30 p.m. Students with an ID will be admitted free, starting at 5 p.m.
Baseball opener pushed back
The field house will be cleared after the women's game and reopened at 8 p.m.
The Kansas baseball-season opener scheduled for tomorrow with Missouri Western has been rescheduled for Monday at 1 p.m. at Quigley Field. Head coach Marty Pattin said yesterday that the double-header had to be pushed back a couple of days because Quigley Field is still too wet for play.
The Jayhawks will also be at home Tuesday against William Jewell at 3 p.m. and against Missouri Southern for a double-header beginning at 1 p.m. KU will then go on the road for a game at Oral Roberts Thursday and Northeast Oklahoma State Friday.

Perfect home record kept with 70-65 win
Victory attained without thrills of fancy playing
By MIKE BRENNAN Sports Writer
Kansas didn't do anything fancy against Nebraska last night at Allen Field House.
No alley oop slam dunks by Calvin
Friedman, who flips his foot and no scissoring streaks by Ron Kellogg.
the shooting of Danny Manning, the inside play of Greg Dreiling and the timely scoring by Tad Royle all added up to a 70-65 victory over the Cornhuskers.
Boyle was playing in his last regular season home game of his career and Altonio Campbell thought he would try to help Boyle relax.
Before the game, Campbell loosened two Boyle's snaps on his sweats. As Boyle was running onto the court after being introduced, his pants fell down and Boyle almost
"I HAD SOME mixed emotions about this game," Boyle said. "In the first half, I was a little sluggish."
The second half proved to be Boyle's best as he scored eight points, tying his career high. Head coach Larry Brown said Boyle's shots were timely, keeping the Jayhawks, 10-3 in the Big Eight, closing the gap with Nebraska.
With 47 seconds left in the game, the Cornhuskins' Ronnie Smith tied up Manning and the ball went to Nebraska on the alternate possession.
The Cornhuskers' Harvey Marshall, who finished with 14 points, hit a jumper, cutting the KU lead to 69-65 with 44 seconds left. Cedric Hunter missed the front end of a one-and-one 11 seconds later but Bill Jackman missed a jumper at the 21 second mark, wrapping up the game for the Jawhakers.
"I SAW IT coming," Manning said about Nebraska getting close at the end of the game. "I think I had to come out and score some points tonight."
Manning led the Jayhawks, with 22 points and squared up to the basket, which he said he hadn't been doing lately, helping make the absence of Thompson almost go unnoticed. He now has 417 points, making him the all-time leading freshman scorer.
KU WAS AHEAD 43-40 with 15:27 when Boyle hit his first basket, keeping the Kansas lead at five. His second and last important play was the game giving Jayhawks a 64-57绩。
Those baskets kept the Cornhuskers far enough away from KU that they couldn't catch up. But Nebraska almost cut the ball but lost paint, with about 30 seconds left in the game.
Boyle and Dreling also picked up some of the slack that was left by Thompson. Boyle started in place of Thompson but probably tried to get it out, so it was his last regular season home game.
Many of the players said Thompson was missed but it wasn't obvious.
"Anytime we lose any of our players, it hurts," said Dreiling, who scored 18 points.
DREILING HAS BEEN bothered by an ankle that he twisted last week and last night he twisted it again after he had just scored the winning goal. He happened, Nebraska's big man in the middle.
Hoppen led the Cornwhiskers with 22 points and 10 rebounds, brown said. "He was one of the best players," he added.
Dreiling said he thought Hoppen was frustrated after getting two fouls early in the game.
"We try to keep him away from the ball," Dreiling said. "But he plays hard the entire game."
Nebraska fell behind by nine, 59-50 with 7:27 left in the game and mounted a slow comeback. The closest the Cormuskers were to victory they did four times in the final six minutes.
"We took a couple of bad shots that we didn't want down the stretch," said Nebraska head Coach Moe Iba. "It was a really disappointing loss because I felt we had a chance to win tonight."
Women hope to clinch third place
By TONY COX

The women's basketball team will have a chance to finish the regular season in third place in the Big Eight Conference when the Jayhawks take on Oklahoma State on Saturday in Stillwater.
"Beating them would not only secure us third place, but also the first-round home site." Kansas head coach Marian Washington said yesterday. "Thirdly, that would mean we would play Nebraska that first round."
THE JAYHAWKS, NOW 8-5 in the conference and 17-9 overall, would be happy with a first-round matchup at home against Nebraska. Wednesday, KU beat the Cornhuskers 105-86 at Allen Field House as Vickie Adams scored 36 points.
Senior Barbara Adkins said, "I think the home court advantage would be very good. You're very comfortable at home anyway and that's a plus in itself.
"Against Nebraska, everything just fell into place. We attacked right away. Not only
did we attack, we really got out there on defense."
Washington said, "We're not going to be thinking about anything behind us. I like to go," he added.
— what you've done before doesn't matter. I think the players will respond to that."
The running game has been an integral part of KU's game for most of the season, and Washington says she anticipates a quick advantage of Oklahoma State's lack of depth.
"DEFINITELY, WE'RE GOING to run," she said. " we're going to look underneath the basket. Our defense will be tighter and more aggressive." We are going to pressure them. We need pressure."
Barbara Adkins said, "The key is that we attack the middle, either from the outside or by passing it, and that we stop their two predominantly offensive players. Glosson
Jackie Glosson and Kathy Schulz are OSU's top scorers.
"It was very competitive the first time and I don't think it will be anything less," Adkins said. "When we play a team the second time,
we can expect them to be more aggressive, so it's going to be a rough game."
"THEY KNOW THEY lost by only one point so they know they're capable of beating us," she said. "I think we're a lot stronger, if we play hard. I think we're going to be a different ball club than they saw the first time."
On Feb. 6, KU beat the Cowboys 71-70 at Allen Field House. Both teams will be confident in the second match, Washington said.
"We'll be in a little better situation if it'a numbers game," she said. "They're going to have to work hard for 40 minutes. I just think they're not that deep, and if we can force them to work hard for 40 minutes, in the second half, we'll have an edge over them."
Washington said that KU had more depth than Oklahoma State and that the Jayhawks would play at a fast tempo.
Washington said that stopping Oklahoma State's Glosson and Schulz would be a tough task.
"THEY'RE JUST TWO very fine players" she said. "They're very strong and they both score well. They've got a power forward Glosson. She plays very strong and finds a way to score."
Winston wants to play anyone but Jayhawks
By LAURETTA SCHULTZ

The way things stand now, Kansas State could end up playing almost anybody next week in the first round of the Big Eight Conference Championship.
But K-State coach Daryl Winston only knows who he doesn't want face Monday or Thursday.
"Anybody but Kansas," he said last night. "I'd饶脑, play Oklahoma than Kansas."
Winston was scouting KU's 70-65 victory over Nebraska, and what he saw concerned
The interim coach for the Wildcats said he hadn't really scouted a game for more than two years.
Thompson was home sick with the flu, and he expected that to hurt KLUs offensively that day.
"THE MOST VALUABLE thing I learned in coming over here is that Kansas is better than I thought," he said, "... and that's without Calvin Thompson."
"When you're coaching, you get wrapped up in the game and sometimes you focus on one or two things," he said. "I just wanted to talk about a good feel for how KU does things."
"I figure if we play here, we're going to need every bit of extra help we can get."
And K-State will play here if the team loses at Missouri Saturday, and Kansas beats Oklahoma State at Stillwater. If either one of those two factors changes, K-State could end up playing almost anybody depending on how Saturday's match-ups turn out.

raucous last night as it had been for some

games this year. But Winston said that if his team faces the Jayhawks at 9:10 p.m. Tuesday, a rowdy Kansas crowd could affect his team.
"In my year's at K-State, I've seen some pretty big teams completely fold because of the crowd," he said. "I'm well aware that the same thing can happen at Allen."
Scouting proved to be an interesting experience for Winston. Several times throughout the game he said he noticed things about Kansas that he had not seen
And early in the game, when forward Ron Kellogg had missed several shots, Winston said. "So, he really is human. I had my doubts."
WINSTON SAT AT a press table for the entire game, taking detailed notes on a yellow legal pad. But, sometimes — every once in a while — he caught himself just watching the game.
"Playing for the third time will eliminate the element of surprise given he said. "But if we had a wall that will keep

With that run in 1823, rugby was born. It grew into a popular sport in England and today is played in over 100 nations throughout the world.
Until 1984 rugby didn't exist as a sport anywhere between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, then a New Hampshire undergraduate transferred to the University of Kansas. George Bunting brought his enthusiasm for the sport to Kansas and founded KU's first rugby club, the first one in the midwest.
There are now more than 700 city and university rugby clubs across the U.S.

its roster. The club division is open to everyone. The reserve team, which is similar to a junior varsity team, and the collegiate team are open only to students.
The KU rugby club will begin its spring season tomorrow at Plainview Park in Wichita. The club team will play the Wichita Barbarians at 1:30 p.m. The collegiate team will face Garden City rugby club at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday against the Wichita reserves at 4:30 p.m.
The club division was league champion last fall. Jim Bartle, club executive secretary, said the team had a good chance of repeating its fall performance.
"We're in good shape now, all our personnel back from last year," he said. "We've got the ball to win."
The rugby club belongs to the Heart of America Rugby Football Union, which includes 20 other teams from Kansas and Missouri.
