'Hawks look to home advantage for victory
Jennie Zeiner/ KANSAN
Scott Townsend, Dales, Ore., senior, practices for the next swim meet. The No. 16 men's swimming team will take on No. 12 Minnesota at Robinson Natatorium tomorrow.
That is what the Kansas swimming teams will have on their minds when the men duel Minnesota and the women take on Arkansas at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the Robinson Natatorium.
Respect.
By Andrew Gilman
"I'd like to see some more school support," said senior Scott Townsend, a two-time All-American freestyle. "We work just as hard as any other athletes. The school spirit should be there more."
Junior Heather Switzer, also a freestyleler, agreed with Townsend.
"When we see a lot of people it makes us feel like we're doing something for the University," she said, "That helps our swimming."
Townsend and the men's team have made a case that they deserve respect. They are ranked for the second consecutive week and have moved up one spot to No. 16 in this week's College Swimming Coaches Association of America poll.
Kansas met Minnesota on Nov. 19 at the Minnesota Invitational. Minnesota won the meet, and Kansas finished fourth.
"They're a good squad," Townsend said. "They have a lot of depth in all strokes, but we have the same."
That respect could be earned on Saturday, when the men prepare to swim against No. 12 Minnesota
"We got handled by them at the Minnesota Invite," Townsend said. "But we've had some good practices, and if we swim the way we know we can, we'll beat them."
Townsend, a nine-time All-American — he qualified for All-American status in five different relays as well as individually in the men's 50- and 100-meter freestyle — has posted a team best 20.75 seconds in the men's 50 freestyle this season.
Townsend will be swimming the men's 50 freestyle, the breaststroke leg of the men's 200-meter individual medley and will be the starting leg of the men's 400-meter freestyle against Minnesota.
Annoug Minnesota may be next on the schedule, Townsend said he looked to the future.
The Kansas women's team dropped one spot to No. 18, but the swimmers are looking ahead to competing against unranked Arkansas as a motivator for bigger and better things.
"In the past it's been a good meet against them," Switzer said. "They're struggling this year, and their squad is a little smaller, but our problem is that conference is just six weeks away."
Kansas has dominated its opponents throughout the last two seasons at home. The Jayhawks have won seven consecutive dual meets. During their last 20 home meets, they have amassed a 19-1 record.
The only blemish on that record was a defeat at the hands of Arkansas on Nov.16,1991.
Switzer said that the team needed to step up and perform well in order to prepare for Big Eight Conference competition.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Although he's a three-time All-Pro, Neil Smith knows there are all-present of things he does not understand about football.
"I don't think there will be any problem in conference," she said. "We're looking to go to nationals. We have the capability to place in the top 10 or 15. We've getting hyped. We'll be ready to race on the weekend."
Chiefs' sack leader adds to Oilers' distractions
By Doug Tucker AP Sportswriter
How, for example, can a team have coaches throwing punches at one another during games and still win 11 in a row?
"We all think of ourselves as a family," said Smith, Kansas City's overpowering defensive end. "When you
Smith's Kansas City Chiefs are 7-point underdogs in their second round AFC game Sunday in Houston, where defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan was recently caught on television throwing a punch at offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.
have bad blood in families, eventually, something's going to give."
But throughout a series of distractions among coaches and players, the resilient Oilers have strung together an 11-game winning streak, much to the bewilderment of people who
always thought distractions were the surest way to ruin any team.
Smith, who had one of his better games in a 30-0 loss to Houston in September, had always thought so.
"I hear a lot of guys from the Oliers saying, 'What the coaches do, it's their business,'" the NFL's 1993 sack champ said Thursday. "But any team where you have two coaches fighting against each other, it's got to mess with the players."
Nevertheless, Smith can admire anybody's 11-game winning streak.
"Their streak has come from their being consistent," he said. "They've been very consistent on offense and on defense and running the ball."
Maybe all the distractions, Smith concluded, "just hurts their feelings more than anything.
"I can't recall playing on a team where something like that came about among coaches. Different players don't have to like each other. They just have to do their job. But coaches, those guys meet with each other all
the time."
For the underdog Chiefs to end the Oilers' streak and make their first appearance in the AFC championship game since 1972, Smith will probably have to meet with Houston quarterback Warren Moon in the Houston backfield.
Pressuring Moon could be the key.
"If we don$ pressure the guy, and if we can't shake Warren's confidence early, then our chances aren't so good, Smith said. "It will be crucial to pressure the guy and let him know
early in the game that the pressure's there."
Smith dropped Moon for a 9-yard loss in their previous meeting, one of 15 sacks he would have in the season.
"It can come at the ends, and it can come up the middle, but the pressure has got to come," he said. "If you've got good pressure coming from the outside, they'll tell him to just run by and step up in the middle of the pock; et. But if he's getting pressure up the middle, that won't work."
