Head coach Mike Fine said the men have to have plan of top three to advance in Marsh.

"The women will have to bowl well to place because they haven't shown the consistency this year." Fine said.
LOS ANGELES — Olympic gold medalist Edwin Moses, declaring he is innocent of sex charges, testified yesterday he was surprised when an undercover policewoman asked if he wanted "to have some fun."
"I had no intention of stopping." Moses said at his trial on a misdemeanor count of soliciting a prostitute, adding it was officer Susan Gonzales who approached his Mercedes-Benz and made an offer for sex.
Following his testimony, the defense presented several witnesses — including Olympic swimming gold medalist John Naber and rowing bronze medalist Anita DeFrantz — who testified to Moses' character
Moses 29, gave an account of last month's attack that directly conceived the police version.
The defense then rested its case, and the base was expected to begin its deliberation. The team was ready.
Moses faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine if he is convicted.
Prosecutors said Moses initiated the conversation in which he offered the policeman, working in a so-called force war, "$100 for two specific sex acts.
Moses testified he encountered Gonzales while driving to a Hollywood newsstand after leaving a party for the U.S. Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Council early the morning of Jan. 13.
He said Gonzales, who didn't look like a prostitute, came over to the passenger side of his car while he waited at a red light, told him to roll down his window and
She said, " 'Hi, how are you?' Moses recalled.
Moses said he was surprised when she struck up conversation but talked to her because "people come up to me all the time and want to talk to me."
"She said 'What have you been doing?' Do you want to have some fun, and then mentioned three acts of sex ... and asked how much money you have呢?" Moses said.
"I said $100 — but had no intention of living with her. I was very surprised. I hung up."
Gonzales testified Wednesday that Moses initiated their conversation and offered $100 for two specific sex acts. Three other police officers testified for the prosecution and corroborated Gonzales' account.
Moses said the woman told him to make a right turn at the corner but he drove off in another direction. Moses was arrested by police a few blocks away and later charged with soliciting an act of prostitution.
Testimony revealed Gonzales was wearing a microphone on her purse strap, which broadcast the conversation to a house where officers had set up a command post for the vice sweep. The conversation was not tape-recorded.
Gonzales testified she told Moses that he wanted to have sex with her, he should drive around the corner and stop his car. She said that he took off in another direction, but he was argued, demonstrates he was not serious about wanting to have sex with her.
Chess champion may default
MOSCOW — World champion chess master Anatoly Karpov is "worn out" and may be unable to continue his record, 5-month-long title defense against challenger Gary Kasparov. Soviet sources said yesterday.
The grueling battle was thrown into hurrow Wednesday when officials declared an unprecedented timeout and postponed the 9th game. Karpov leads two straight matches to three but Kasparov has won two straight matches. There have been 40 draws.
Both men have exhibited signs of strain since the series began Sept 9 but the youngest man to vie for the world title, has shown the effects of the pressure the least.
Under present rules, the match will continue until one of the two wins six games, unless one of the players had a win. but sources said world chess officials were considering proposals that would put a time limit on the match and on future matches.
International Chess Federation President Florencio Campomanes unexpectedly flew into Moscow Wednesday and intervened in the play, calling a time out. He cited "special reasons" but did not elaborate.

Men hope to bounce back against Cyclones
By MIKE BRENNAN
Sports Writer
Bouncing back after a loss is something that Kansas has not had to do many times this season.
But the Jayhawks have done it before and they hope to do it again at 1:10 p.m. tomorrow in Ames against Iowa State. The game will be televised on channels 27 and 62.
KANSAS, WHICH HAD its five-game winning streak snapped Tuesday, has lost five games this season but has not yet lost two in a row. The last time KU lost before Tuesday was against Michigan and the second in a 18-point victory over Kansas State in Manhattan.
Head coach Larry Brown said he didn't know how his team would react tomorrow.
Those things are: blocking out on rebounds, rebounding better, making the extra pass, cutting down turnovers and improving shooting. On Monday, KU had trouble doing all of those things.
"Losing doesn't help." Brown said, "our team to be an engineer to perform."
Brown said the Jayhawks had to do the things he had talked about all season.
AGAINST MISSOURI, KANSAS had 18 turnovers and also had trouble getting the ball inside to Greg Dreiling and Danny Manning, who combined for a total of 19 points. KU also shot under 50 percent for only the fifth time this season.
But Iowa State is also having its share of problems.
The Cyclones are coming off of their worst defeat in Big Eight action this season. Oklahoma defeated Iowa State 1047-6 and it was the third consecutive loss for ISU.
Cyclone head coach Johnny Orr said he was not disappointed with the first two losses but he said his team did not do anything right in the loss to the Sooners.
"I am very disappointed with the way we provided the kids to play at home should make it a little better.
The Jayhawks have won seven of 13 games played in Hilton Coliseum but lost in Ames
IN THE FIRST Big Eight game for both teams this season, Kansas defeated Iowa State 76-12 in Allen Field House. Manning was the leading scorer for KU with 22 points.
The Cyclones were led by Barry Stevens, who also scored 22 points. Going into tomorrison's game, Stevens needs only eight points to reach 2,000 career points.
If he reaches that level, he will be only the third player in Big Eight history to do that. The other two are Mike Evans of Kansas
State and Wavman Tisdale of Oklahoma
Before the last meeting, Brown said that there was more to stopping Iowa State than stopping Stevens and yesterday Brown said he was well prepared with the way his team is going to play.
"I expect them to be ready to play," Brown said. "We have to do the things we didn't do against Missouri."
Towa State has lost only three balligames at home and seven of its nine losses have come from Towson.
Orr said he didn't expect to make an changes in his starting line-up of Stevens, who has two points a game, Jeff Hornacek, 12.4, Jeff Jenkins, 16.6, Sam Hill 10.4 and Gary Thomas, 6.6.
Kansas is not expected to make any changes in its starting line-up of Ron Kellogg, Danny Manning, Greg Dreiling, Cedric Hunter and Calvin Thompson.

Women to try to get back on winning track at ISU

"It was obvious that our intensity wasn't a high at Missouri as it was the last five games." Washington said. "There are always games where you have a drop-off in intensity. It's unfortunate that it had to happen in Columbia.
"We'll go to Ames, Iowa, and we're going to play much more aggressive defense."
The KU women's basketball team will try to get back on track when it meets Iowa State tomorrow in Ames.
THE LOSS AT Missouri brought the Jayhawks down emotionally, but won't necessarily hurt their chances against Iowa coach Marian Washington said yesterday.
The last time the teams played was the Big Eight conference opener on Jan. 16 when KU
KU is now 6-3 in the conference and 15-7
in Iowa is 1-8 in the conference and
10-12 in Iowa.
Kansas' five-game winning streak was broken Wednesday when the Jayhawks felt 74-62 in Columbia. The loss also dropped KU to fourth, four-way tie for first place in the Big Eight.
Outdoor play on the agenda for tennis team in Oklahoma

"I CAN only permit them to dwell on the loss for a few minutes," Washington said. He is preparing for Iowa State. We're very confident that our team will have a very intense intensity we'll have a good chance to win."
whipped the Cyclones 85-66 at Allen Field House.
Washington expects her young team to bounce back well from the loss to Missouri.
The women's tennis team has been playing on indoor courts all of the spring season. But tomorrow, the Jayhawks are scheduled to play on outdoor courts.
KU will try to exploit the height advantage it holds over Iowa State. Washington said.
"We were a little conservative on offense," he said, to be more aggressive against Iowa State.
The Jayhawks lacked aggressiveness against Missouri. Washington said
"We fell that we still have a chance," she said. There are a lot of tough games left for every team. We still have a chance. I don't think winner will be decided until the very end.
After the loss, KU is still very much in the race for the conference title. Washington sat
it nows over Iowa State, Washington said.

Probable starters for the Jayhawks are Kelly Jennings and Vickie Adkins at forwards, Philicia Allen at center, and Mary Myers and Shroeder Stoecker at guards.
THE MATCH AGAINST Oklahoma City starts at 7 p.m. Tomorrow, the Jayhawks are scheduled to take on Oral Roberts at noon and Jayhawks defeated Oral Roberts in the fall 8-1.
Less than a year ago, KU's Ann O'Connor would have never believed she'd be the third-ranked high jumper in the nation. In 2016, she thought she'd be at the University of Kansas.
The women will face Oklahoma City tonight in a dual match on indoor courts. Tomorrow they will travel to Tulsa to face university in a match scheduled for outdoors.
"I always considered K-State, that's where my parents went to school," O'Connor said yesterday. "I never really even considered track or college sports at all."

3 singles position, has the flu and will not make the trip, forcing Perelman to shift his lineup.
Tracy Treps will be playing No.1 singles and Barbara Inman will be playing No.2 singles. Laura Runnels, Christine Parr, Jill Holmes, Ola Hollen complete the rest of the singles ladder
But O'Connor changed her mind, decided to come to KU, and her 6-foot jump earlier this season ranks as the third-best in the United States this year.
"I think it's different, for sure, but it will be good exposure for our kids." Perelman said.
O'Connor's jump broke the school record and qualifies her for the NCAA national championships March 8 and 9 in Syracuse, N.Y.
Cindy Bregin, who usually plays in the No.
Parr and Inman will play No. 1 doubles.
Ramels and Bole will play No. 2 and
Roberts will play No. 3.
The women practice, Perelman said, on ' the average of two of three hours a day and lift weights three times a week plus conditioning.
"I JUST FOUND out about it Tuesday," she said of the ranking. "I sure don't consider myself the third-best in the country."
emma coach Scott Pere尔曼 said that his buggies need to adjust to the different conditions.
"We'll just have to wait and see," she said of the man. "I probably be overwhelmed by everything they put in."
"we're doing better," Perelman said. "it's a process that doesn't happen overnight."
Perleman said the amount of practice time depends on how well the team is doing
But if O'Connor lacks any confidence in her chances, assistant coach Cliff Rovetto
"If she jumps the way she's capable"
Rovetto said, "she'll be an All-American
"It's hard for her to begin thinking of herself as a 6-foot jumper when just a few months ago she was a 5-6 or 5-7 jumper, Rovello said."
O'CONNOR HAS COME a long way in one year. The Salina native finished second in the high jump at the state track meet last season, and was named state team captain. A senior year at Sacred Heart High School.
O'Connor, who stands a little over 6 feet, was recruited by several junior colleges for her skills on the basketball court. So she played in the school so as she was by the KU track scholarships.
After graduation, KU was the only majo school that came calling, and O'Connor decided late in the summer to come to Lawrence.
"IT'S A MYSTERY to me," he said of the lack of attention O'Connor received for her efforts on the track. "When I saw her at the gym, she was just hanging up to the bar and was still getting, very high."
"It's so funny," she said. "Everybody at home asks me how basketball's going. "I say I'm not out for basketball, I'm out for track."
Rovelo said he was convinced of O'Connor's ability when he saw her jump at the state championship meet in Wichita.
"She's made a lot of progress since then, but she's still got a tremendous amount of room for improvement." Rovello said. "She hasn't even scratched the surface yet."
As a pentathlete, O'Connor must train for five separate events.
"I really like it," she said of the multi-event. "If I had to come out here and just train for the high jump, it would get kind of monotonous."
In addition to O'Connor, Rovetto noted the success of Jaci Tyma and Rose Wadman, also KU pentathletes, in the high jump this season.
Rovello said he thought O'Connor could challenge the NCAA high jump record of 6
"THE REASON THEY'RE jumping so well is the varied training," he said. "There's so much carry-over between the events. They complement each other."
"She can go at least another 4 or 5 inches," he said.
O'Connor will compete with several of her teammates in an all-comers meet tomorrow at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The meet begins at 10 a.m.
Lockwood leaving coaching not the University of Kansas
The walls of the small, cluttered office are covered with posters of people whose own dreams have come true at one time or another. A chalk board that nearly covers an entire wall is covered with names and phone numbers. The desk is piled high with papers. Memorabilia of the bygone days of KU gymnastics are all about and a cart filled with volleyballs occupies about half of the useable space.
On the second floor of Robinson Center, in a small office across from the ballet practice room, there is a fairy tale, a dream that has come true at the University of Kansas.
The music from the ballet room fills the office and the fairy tale is set to proper music. The door is closed but that won't keep out the music of this fairy tale.
THE FAIRY TALE is about a man who grew up in Lawrence, hunting in the fields that are now occupied by the buildings of his profession. The man reached his goal of
being a varsity athlete at KU in the late 1950s. He was a varsity member of the gymnastics team for four years, acting as a player coach. In volleyball, he was an All-American.

The man is Bob Lockwood, now the outgoing volleyball coach and still the biggest fan the University will ever have.
His team was one of the youngest that represented KU this past fall. There were nine freshmen, three sophomores and two seniors. And although he is leaving KU volleyball, he has all of the hope in the world for it.
"KU is such a great place," Lockwood said yesterday, "that once you can kids here
THIS FRESHMAN CLASS was the first that Lockwood was able to recruit by bringing them to the campus, rather than relying on letters and phone calls. The number of scholarships available to the volleyball team are approaching the level of the current class, bringing to Lockwood, KU volleyball now has the opportunity to improve, significantly.
"There are not many institutions that can really offer a total package like we can offer here. We are really fortunate that way. We are selling a great product."
and show them what you have and what your plans are, they are going to come here.
So the question arises as to why Lockwood would want to leave the program at this time, when things look so bright for his program. Well, the answer is that volleyball is not the most important part of his life, not even as far as the University is concerned. What is important for Lockwood is his teaching, which was limited to part-time by volleyball.
"THIS NOW BECOMES a full-time job and to do justice to both programs, I personally felt like something had to change," Lockwood said. "And since one of my big ambitions here has been to be a teacher, and I think I have good success as a teacher. I was not ready to give that portion of my life up."
Contributions Lockwood has made to the University since his days as a varsity athlete in two sports are numerous. He has coached gymnastics, tennis, wrestling and volleyball. He is also involved in a varsity sport and the creation of wrestling are directly attributable to Lockwood.
He has also served as the sponsor of the water ski club, been head of intramurals and has been the manager of the municipal pool since its opening.
WHEN THE CITY needed a coach for a gymnastics class for kids this spring, they called on Lockwood and he accepted. On top of all of that, he is going to be getting back into competitive volleyball as a player with 612 college coaches, one of the top teams in the nation. Add to that, he's having at his 267-acre farm north of Lawrence and the picture begins to be complete.
"For me, it was like a fairy tale story," Lockwood said. "It was something you just dreamed was going to happen. I am sure there are a lot of people associated with the university who are really proud of that and really feel the warmth toward the University as I do."
The story of the dean of KU coaching seems to have only started a new chapter. Lockwood has seen seven athletic directors come and go and he has been coaching here longer than any current coach. No person has ever varsity sports at KU, other than Lockwood.
His contributions should not be measured by the win-loss record of the past season. He is the most important University and, most importantly, the student of the University of Kansas can be no greater.
