Kellogg hits career high in Devaney

LINCOLN, Neb. — Ron Kellogg was a bit of a paradox Saturday night.
He was both a hero at his homecoming and an invincible warrior who invaded and defeated. It was something like the Vietnam vets came home but the only hero's welcome they received was from their families.
The 14,000 rowdy Nebraska fans certainly wouldn't have minded if he hadn't made the trip to Lincoln, but he's family's loved memory, kept Kellogg
"I always am very, very excited to watch Ronny perform," said Ron's mother, Anita. "I feel like it is a God-given talent."
Kellogg's 39 points were a Bob Davenay Sports Center record and the most scored by a KU player since 1977. But Anita Kellogg said it wasn't the best she had seen her son perform.
"He had a game in Lincoln where he scored 47 points his junior year in high school," Anita Kellog said.
KELLOGG MADE THE most of his opportunity to perform well in front of his family and friends, hitting it hard. The results are free throws in as many opportunities.
"I have been playing here since high school," Kellogg said after the game. "There are a lot of memories I had, only myself, it was the whole team."
Kellogg attended Northwest High School in Omaha, which is about an hour's drive from Lincoln. He played at the Devany Sports Center while in high school, and he knew going into game that he enjoyed playing there.
"This is a good place to play," Kellogg said. "It has a good floor to jump off of."
The Devaney Sports Center, which from the outside looks like a plush, big opera house, was an island of high-performance. Kelogl's near-perfect performance.
THE HOMECOMING WAS not reserved for Kellogg. It was shared with guard Cedric Hunter, who attented Omada South High School. And the game wasn't the only thing shared by close friends Kellogg and
Hunter because both players are close to each other's families.
"Ced's family is like family to me, so I had a lot of people here," Kellogg said.
Hunter, who earlier said he had had seven or eight members of his family in attendance, immediately moved to around 20 now that I thought about it.
Kellog's mother had the same sentiments.
"Cedric is like a son to me," she said. "They are both pretty exciting players, but the whole KU team is exciting."
Kellogg had stomach cramps before the game, which he said
where probably caused by nerves,
that he did not do from doing
his best for his hospice病人.
"THEY WANT TO see you do well, so I just played hard and hoped things fell in place." Kellogg said. "Before the game, I was a little tight and nervous, but once the game got a little nervous, but once the game got started, I was all right."
For most of the game, Kellogg was racking up two points within seconds of receiving the ball. He was so accurate he hit the rim only a few times, but those times was on a twisting drive to the basket through a crowd of players.
one another in rapid succession, and even the vocal fans clad in bright red would simply gasp in amazement.
"The shots were there," Kellogg said. "It was important for us to hit the outside shooting.
"I NEVER THOUGHT I would have 39 points, but I had no choice but to take the good shot when it was there for me."
Shots that hit only the net followed
Kellogg said that getting an opportunity to play in Devaney Sports Center was special, so he knew he would make the best of it.
"I was going to make it one of those games," Kellogg said. "My family had an opportunity to see me play, so I am happy for that."

LINCOLN, Neb. — Last week, after losing to Michigan, Kansas head basketball coach Larry Brown blame for the Jayhawks problems.
"It不是 me," Brown said after he watched his team defeat Nebraska 91-80 Saturday night in Lincoln. "I was a great college game." That was a great college game.
The Jayhawks set a school record by shooting 72.3 percent from the field, breaking the old mark of 672 in a year against Florida International.
Ron Kellogg, who complained of stomach cramps before the game, led the way with a career high 39 points. Kellogg hit 16 of 19 from the most field goals and most points in the Bob Deanev Sporter Sports Center.
DESPITE THIS record-setting performance, Kellogg said he hoped the team will get better.
"It was another big boost," Kellogg said. "We executed well. This was a pretty good game since it was a road and road especially in this place."
Brown said assistant coach Bob Hill had told him that when someone is playing like Kellogg, the rest of the team's tenacity to stand around and watch him.
"I didn't think we did that." Brown
played. We played great. We can't
play any more.
Nebraska head coach Moe Iba said that his team had caught Kansas on a hot night.
“Our effort was all right, but we were playing a very good basketball team.” Haa said. “We kept fighting and made it to the semifinals in many points to a team like Kansas.”
GREG DREILING, WHO scored 12 points and hit four of six from the field, said the team was playing better, especially defensively.
"We're just depending on each other," Dreiling said. "We are just using our strengths. People think it was a one-man show, but everyone had to give up part of their game. We're playing together."
Tad Boyle also said the defense was important.
"Our defense is the key for us," Boyle said. "And we are playing a lot better together."
Boyle, who stole a pass in the closing moments of the game against Missouri to clinch the victory, said he enjoyed being in pressure situations.
With 1:27 left in the game Saturday, Boyle hit two free throws that put Kansas up by five after the backers cut the Jayhawks' lead to 81-78.
Danny Manning, who fouled out of the game and scored six points, said although it was a tough game for the team of the rest there to 'help out'
Calvin Thompson, who scored 16 points, said it was time the team started playing better.
"We are just playing together." Thompson said. "We just want to continue to improve and quit trying to make the big plays. We'll be all

Second place is not so bad. Just ask Kansas track coaches Carla Coffey and Bob Timmons.
"We did really well," said Coffey, head women's coach. "We're really pleased. It was the best team effort we've had all season."
Their teams both finished second to powerful Nebraska squads Saturday at the Nebraska Quadrangular meet in Lincoln.
The Nebraska women won the meet with 80 $\frac{1}{2}$ points. Kansas finished second with 37 $\frac{1}{2}$. Drake was third with 42 and Wyoming was fourth with 9.

Both coaches said several individual performances stood out at the meeting.
Kim Jones won the long jump with a leap of 19 feet, $6_{4}$ inches. That mark was just short of the 19-9 qualification needed for the national championships.
Jaci Tyma cleared 5-8% to win the
trophy. That mark is a personal
bargain for Tyma.
THE KU WOMEN scored well in the shot-pot, picking up second, third and fourth places in the event. Stine Haimeh finished second with a put of 48-5.
Veronda O'Hara finished second in the 440-yard run in 1:00:25. Angie Helmer was second in the 600 in the 1000 and Wood was third in the 1000 in 2:39:35.

It was the third and fourth loss to Arkansas this season for the women. Last fall, Arkansas defeated KU 6-3 both times they met.
"We talked a lot about it on the way home and we're getting there," Perelman said. "It is now up to the coaching staff to get the best out of them, so we have to play hard and play hard and if we do that, everything will fall into place."
The only match of the day that went three sets was between the No. 3 doubles team of Greg Brown and David Owens and Southwest Bapeng Gerry Hawthorne and Kevin Johnson and Owens and Owens 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

This weekend, the men will travel to Bellevue, Ill., to play in the Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Indiana State, Illinois State and Vendelby.
The women will play against Wichita State Saturday at Wood Valley Racquet Club in Toneka.

By TONY COX

Winning on the road in the Big Eight conference is tough, KU head coach Marian Washington said. The team has made it look easy lately.
They continued to beat the odds Saturday with a 84-79 victory over Nebraska in Lincoln.
It was the third consecutive road victory for KU. Last Saturday the Jayhawks beat Colorado in Boulder and lost States State on Tuesday in Manhattan.
"it's been rough," Washington said. "We have a fine club, and I'm delighted to have three on the road.

1:39 remaining when Lisa Dougherty, freshman forward-guard, hit both ends of a one-and-one after a corner pass to the Cornshurkers Maurice Ivy.
"We kept our poise and were determined, and it's a terrific win for them."
"I think this was one of our most impressive wins overall and in the Big Eight." Washington said. "Our offense wasn't going easy against us, our defense, and we obviously had an advantage being away from home.
Foul trouble was one of the few weaknesses for the Jayhawks in the game, with three players fouling out, one with four fouls and
two with three. Fouling out for KU were Allen, Jackie Martin, freshman forward, who played for 15 minutes, and Evente Ott, sophomore guard, who played for 17 minutes.
