Kansas slips past 'Cats at the buzzer
Woodberry rises to occasion
By Lyle Niedens Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams said he thought that Kansas guard Steve Woodberry was not aggressive in the first half of No. 3 Kansas' game Saturday at Kansas State.
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, Woodberry was aggressive enough when he had to be.
The 6-foot-4 sophomore buried a 15-foot jumper as the second-half buzzer sounded, giving the Jayhawks a 54-52 victory. The triumph was Kansas' fifth straight against the Wildcats and ninth consecutive in Manhattan.
"Steve Woodberry in the second half I thought was unbelievable," Williams said. "I chewed his tail out at halftime — I chewed a few of them — but I probably say I chewed Steve more than I did anybody else because he wasn't being aggressive at all. He wasn't looking for his shot. He wasn't getting involved."
Williams said that changed in the second half.
"He was phenomenal on the backboards," he said of Woodberry, who came off the bench to lead the 'Hawks with 11 rebounds.
"Steve made a heckuva an athletic play," Williams said of the final shot. "They did a very good job defensive-ly."
"I just went up and knocked it in," Woodberry said.
Woodberry the Jayhawks were looking inside first but that he had no idea what was going on.
The shot salvaged a poor shooting game for Kansas. The Jawhaws shot a season-low 31.5 percent from the field. However, one of Kansas' problems in recent games — free throw shooting — became a plus for the Jawhaws on Saturday. Kansas hit 15-of-27.
21 from the line, compared to 1-of-7 for K-State.
The game marked a new attendance record, 13,762, at K-State's Bramlage Coliseum. After the game, a few fans threw objects at Kansas players as they were heading to the locker room. Kansas center David Johanning received a gash in his forehead that required stitches and guard Greg Gurlev also was hit with an object.
"I was a little disappointed by the crowd," Williams said. "I don't think that has a place in college athletics."
Kansas sophomore Richard Scott and guard Rex Walters, who led the Jayhawks with 18 points, both approached the K-State student section after the game.
"I just told them, 'What do you think about that,'" Walters said. "I don't think they were the classiest bunch. Some of the things they said I don't appreciate at all."

The Kansas women's basketball team moved one step closer to the Big Eight Conference championship by defeating Kansas State 67-49 yesterday at Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks, 21-4 overall and 10-2 in conference play, have a one game lead over Colorado, 17-8, 9-3, with two Big Eight games remaining for each team.
The Jayhawks have not won the conference title since 1987, when they shared it with K-State and Missouri. Their last outright championship was in 1981.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said that although the Jayhawks were close to a conference championship, the season was far from over.
"We still have to take care of things
one game at a time, starting with Oklahoma. These last two games could make us or break us."
"It's real clear that we're close to the title," she said. "But they (the Jayhawks) know exactly what I'm going to say tomorrow in practice."
About 2,500 fans, the largest home attendance of the season, filled the field house to witness the Jayhawks' second victory of the season against K-State. It was their first victory against the Wildcats in Lawrence since Jan. 30, 1988.
It was also the last home meeting for the seniors against their intrastate
Washington said it was an emotional game for the team.
"I usually don't talk about things like last home games." she said. "But I did for this one. I knew it was going to be emotional. I just tried to prepare them for that."
With the score tied at 19, the Jayhawks went on a 13-1 run to propel them to a 34-25 halftime lead. Kansas never trailed in the second half.
Senior guard Kay Kay Hart led the Jayhawks with 14 points. Senior forward Terrilyn Johnson led the game with 12 rebounds and also had a career-high five blocked shots.
"We still have to take care of things one game at a time,
starting with Oklahoma."

Kansas' defense limited K-State to 46 shots in the game and allowed only one player to score in double figures, senior guard Mary Jo Miller who was the game's high scorer with 16 points.

OLYMPIC WRAP-UP
Olympic power shifts
ALBERTVILLE, France — A dynasty died in one sense and renewed itself in another as the Winter Olympics ended yesterday with an affirmation of a new world order in sports as in politics.
For the first time in 24 years, and only the second time since the Soviet Union entered the Winter Games in 1956, the former Soviet republics did not win either the most golds or overall medals.
But the best team in hockey is still Soviet Union, Russia United Team
Germany, unified in more than name only, is the new sports super-eroy.
Equipe Unifife, as it was called in Albertville, beat Canada 3-1 for the last medal of the XVI Winter Olympics Games — and the eighth gold in 10 Olympics for a team from the Soviet Union or Russia.
"There can be no end of the Russian ice hockey era," said Coach Viktor Tikhonov, a gray-haired man in a gray suit and brown shoes who got tossed in the air five times like a cheerleader by his young players after the game.
It was quite a contrast to the stiff, controlled Soviet teams of old. New freedoms and young players combined to produce unrestrained joy.
"I feel great, it's wonderful," said Alexei Kovalev, who turned 19 today.
For the ninth time in these Games, the medal presentation was accompanied by the raising of the fivering Olympic banner instead of a national flag, and the playing of the Olympic theme instead of a country's anthem.
"I was singing the old Soviet anthem to myself," said Viacheslav Bykov, the captain and center who capped the victory with a slapshot. "I was thinking the future is Russian."
"As I've said for the last week, I'm not in the vindication business, I'm in the coaching business," Peterson said after a narrow semifinal defeat to the eventual-champion Unified Team.
MERIBEL, France — The U.S. hockey team missed a medal, but it won some other, equally important things.
But the U.S. could be prouder this time, when a 5-1 start made possible a fourth-place finish — three notches better than the showing of Peterson's 1988 team. This year they battled for third place before taking. They lost Saturday's zameel.
U. S. hockey falls short
Respect. Exposure. And, yes, even though coach Dave Peterson will not admit it. vindication.
"I'm proud of my team," he said. "I was proud of my team in '88."
"We can walk out of here with a good feeling. In 1988, we walked out
It was a special tournament for the Unified Team, its first following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It beat Canada 3-1 in the final game and has won four of its six matches (including three straight) one silver and one bronze in its 10 Olympics.
with a bad feeling," team captain Clark Donatelli said. "We were one game away from playing for the gold medal. If we excited a few younger kids, got them to play hockey for Team USA someday, it was all worth it."
Canada won its first medal since 1968.
U. S. ski team excels
MERIBEL, France — A pair of silver medals in women's Alpine skiing. More top-five finishes than any nation except Austria.
The U.S. women's ski team enjoyed the Albertville Games immensely. And Coach Paul Major has a simple message for the rest of the ski world: You ain't seen nothing yet.
"We've got a real solid program now," Major said, who forecasted greater success for American women in the World Championships next year and the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.
Olympic silver medals for Hilary Lindh in downhill and Diann Roffe in giant slalom were the highlights for the Americans in the Alpine events.

Kansas track team posts strong effort
By Chris Jenson
Venison poetwriter
Despite using only a partial roster, the Kansas track and field teams posted a strong showing this weekend at the Kansas State Open in Manhattan.
"Overall, I was very encouraged with our performance." Coach Gary Schwartz said. "We had a number of people who had season and personal records."
The Jayhawks used a limited roster to rest some athletes for the coming Big Eight Conference Championship. Schwartz said the athletes decided to compete on a personal basis, depending on where they were in their training and how they were feeling mentally.
In the 200 meters, Shafer led a group of four Jayhawks who finished in the top four places with less than five-tenths of a second separating them.
The women were led by Natasha Shafer, who had first-place finishes in both the 200 meters with a time of 25.19 and in the 55 meters with a time of 7.18.
The meet, which was not scored,
was an opportunity for the participating
athletes to fine-tune their events
for the conference championships
which will take place at Anschutz
Sports Pavilion beginning Friday.
"I was looking for improvement and a positive attitude, and I feel that I got that," Schwartz said. "People seem to be coming on, and this is the time when we want our people to peal."
Other winners for the women were Helena Hafstrom, who won the 1,000 meters in 2:58.3, and Erin Howerton, who won the 600 meters in 1:27.30.
Marybeth Labosky, who finished second in the high jump, said the team was pleased with its performance.
"The meet was exactly what we wanted it to be," she said. "Those who competed sharpened things up, so I think it served its purpose."
Sophomore Jayson Lavender led the way for the men winning the pole vault after recovering from a pulled hamstring earlier in the season. Lavender vaulted 16. 10 in. Brandon Blain finished in a three-way tie for second in the pole vault with a vault of 16. 5 in.
Dan Waters also a performed well for Kansas, finishing second in the 800 meters with a time of 1:52.45.
Labosky said their recent success had the team feeling positive about the Big Eight Championships.
"The team is really optimistic," she said. "It is a time where everybody feels like this is our chance. Everybody is anxious to show the other teams what we have. I think a lot of teams will be surprised."
