Jayhawks spend holidays playing ball, touring Hawaii

HONOLULU - Most people travel by airplane to get to Hawaii. But once on the relatively small islands, it is up to the individual to find the best mode of transportation for getting to the sights of Hawaii.
by boat, scooter and foot, Kansas athletes ventured around the island of Oahu to beaches, shops and historical sites.
One site that all the Kansas athletes visited was Pearl Harbor.
A special passenger boat transported lahayawks and tourists to the Arizona Memorial. The white monument stands over the sunken U.S.S. Arizona and just off the shore of Ford Island, which sits in the middle of the harbor. Some of the players' activities were hampered by rainy weather. The 12th month of the year is one of the rainstest in Oahu. Even the boats to the memorial were not running because it was raining so hard one day in late December.
Patrick Richey, a junior guard for-ward on the Kansas basketball team, said the rainy weather limited what the Jayhawks could do in their spare time.
The basketball team journeyed into the championship game of the Rainbow Classic with victories against Jackson State and Hawaii. Michigan proved too tough in the final, beating the Jawhaws 86-74
But Richey said the team was able to make the best of the conditions.
"We went snorkeling one day," he said. "A couple of us got mops."
Senior guard Rex Walters and sophomore guard Greg Lurley rented scooters, Richey said. Junior football kicker Dan Eichloch also rented a scooter on the islands. Generally, the scooters ranged in price from $15 to $25 dollars a day.
Senior center Dave Marcum's parents were in Hawaii, and the Great Bend native was happy they were
For some of Kansas' football players, the best part of being in Hawaii was being with friends and family.
there to see his last game
"It was my grand finale of four years," he said. "They've been very supportive in my life."
Marcum was the team's long snapper on punts and held goals all four of his years at Kansas.
Senior defensive end Kyle Moore said that he and senior defensive tackle Gilbert Brown often did things together in Hawaii. They would take walks on the beach at night and reminisce about their years at Kansas.
The two defensive linemen helped Kansas improve from a losing program to a winning one. Just two seasons ago, in Moore's first campaign with Kansas, the Jayhawks were 3-7-1. This year Kansas' football team returned from Hawaii with an 8-4 record and the school's second-ever bowl victory.
"I always wanted to see how Hawaii really was," he said. "It was a nice experience. Not too many people get a chance to visit."
Moore said he was grateful for the chance to see Hawaii, the Alaba State.
