By GREG DAMMAN Sports Writer

Henry scored 23 points and grabbed 14 rebounds against Nebraska, helping the Jaywicks against Against K-State, Henry hit eight of
nine field goal attempts and all seven of his tire throws for 23 points, leading UCI to a victory.
"It happens when you have all those good games and you play hard," Henry said. "Beating K-State, I feel a lot better about it."
Kansas coach Larry Brown was full of praise for Henry.
Carl nased everything I could ask," he said. "He shoots well, rebounds well. I don't think anybody could have a player play better in the last two and a half to three weeks than Carl."
Henry, a second team all-Big Eight player last year, is averaging 15.7 points and 5.7 rebounds a game this year. His numbers in the conference are even better at 19.8 points and 7.4 rebounds a game.
The award is the second for Henry. He was named Player of the Week last year after the final week of the regular season.
The Jayhawks, in first place in the Big Eight, stand at 4.1 in the conference and 12.5 overall. But they'll have to be careful with that, especially Okla, when they play 11th-ranked
Oklahoma and All-America Wayman
Tisdale.
Tisdale leads the nation in scoring, averaging 29.8 points a game, but scored only 12 points in OU's 69-65 loss to Memphis State Saturday.
The Jayhawks played well against OU last season, defeating the Sooners 55-53 in Lawrence and 87-77 in the Big Eight tournament. Tisdale scored 12 and 13 points respectively in those games, guarded primarily by forward Kelly Knight.
The Sooners, 3-1 in the Big Eight and 10-3 overall, are in second place in the 2014 season.
"We just have to go out and put out the effort." Henry said. "If they're going to beat us they're going to have to have a great game."
Henry said the Jayhawks would play the Sooners "basically the same way"
Probable starters for Oklahoma tonight are 6-foot-6 senior Calvin Pierce at forward. Pierce is averaging 9.2 points and 5.8 rebounds a game, averaging 6.2 points and 5.6 rebounds a game, will start as the other forward.
Another freshman, 6-foot-3 Tim McCalister, will start at guard. McCalister averages 17.8 points and 4.9 rebounds a game. Six-foot-1 senior Jan Pannell averages 6.5 points and 4.9 points a game. Will start at the other guard position.
Tisdale will start at center for the Sooners.
Starting forwards for Kansas will be Henry and Knight. Greg Drelling will start at center, and Calvin Thompson will start at the guard positions.
"I think if we beat OU we'll be in command of the conference race."

Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs says the media expect too much from sophomore sensation Wayman Tisdale, Tisdale, the nation's leading scorer, will be in action tonight against KU in Norman, Okla.
Coach says Tisdale is not Superman
By United Press International
Oklahoma coach Billy Tubs wants his star forward Wayman Tisdale to be judged as a 19-year-old college basketball player—not as Superman.
Tubbs has taken exception to implications that Tisdale had an "off game" on national television Saturday at a 1998 World Cup final, where a career-low 12 points in a 69-45 loss.
ont and 6-9 center Derrick Phillips behind the 6-9 Tisdale in the Oklahoma offensive end.
Tisdale was held 18 points under his 30.1 average but did manage 14 rebounds in the game. His effort came out second best of the day to Memphis State's own All-America Keith Lee, who had 22 points and 18 rebounds and was part of the defensive sandwich on Tisdale. The 6-foot-10 Lee lined up in
"A guy in the Big Eight (Oklahoma State center Shawn Baker) gets headlines for getting 14 points and 7 rebounds (against Missouri Saturday)." Tubbs said. "They say it's a great game. But Wayman gets 12 points and 14 rebounds and people say it's a bad game.
"Wayman had 22 points and 19 rebounds against Iowa State (74-68 Oklahoma loss) and everyone said he had a horrible game. There are guys who'd go bananas to have a game like that. Wayman is going to have his ups and downs. He's not going to score 30 points every time he goes out there. I
wish everyone would get off his back "
Oklahoma has accounted for 11 of the 15 top individual scoring performances in the Big Eight this season, but they don't all belong to Tisdale. The sophomore pivot has nine of the top marks, including a conference record 61 points in a game against Texas San Antonio and three in a teammates Shawn Clark (37 points against Arizona State) and Tim McCallister (31 against Santa Clara).
The other four top-scoring performances belong to Iowa State's Barry Stevens (37 against Arizona and 14 against Vanderbilt), Oklahoma State's Kyle Ridley (20 against Texas-Arlington) and Colorado's Jay Humphries (31 against Rockhurst).

Charger president seeks money from LA's Davis
By United Press International
The stitems from a 1980 cross-complaint filed by Davis against his long-time archival Klein as an adjunct to Davis-National Football League antirust litigation over Davis planned to Los Angeles, then Oakland franchise to Los Angeles.
Klein's suit also accuses Davis of abuse of process and intentional infliction of emotional distress, the latter based in part on a heart attack Klein suffered while testifying. it seeks $10 million in punitive damages and $1 million in general or compensatory damages on each complaint.
Klein said that Davis named him in the 1980 action strictly as the result of long-standing malice, and without reasonable basis.
San Mateo attorney Joseph W. Cotchet, who filed the suit on behalf of Klein, told newsman in a courthouse corridor, "Mr. Klein feels that somebody has to stand up to Al Davis and say, 'You can't use the courts as if they were a football field,' as Al Davis has attempted to do in the past."
Cotchett said that Klein notified the National Football League of his action. Cotchett said the cross-claim that triggered Klein's action was filed by the Oakland Raiders, Ltd., a limited partnership, cross-claims v. National Football League, et al." He said that the cross-claim generally challenged the conduct of the NFL pursuant to its constitution and bylaws, but also singled out as individuals Klein, Los Angeles Rams' owner Georgia Frontier, the Chicago Bears' owner Pete Rozele accusing them of conspiracy beyond league regulations.
U. S. District Judge Harry Progression of Los Angeles, in 1861, ordered the claim against Klein and the others dismissed since "reasonable jurors would not find that the three named conspired or that they intertwined."
The original NFL Davis litigation is before an anneals court.
Cotchett said the lawsuit caused Klein emotional distress and had caused him to experience a severe burn in Los Angeles while on the stand resisting.
"The animosity between the two men goes back to the late 1960s," Cotchet said. "Mr. Klein fell it was his duty as a citizen, as well as an NFL club." Mr. Klepczynski also basis for the Davis lawsuit, and it was otherwise not filed in good faith."
Klein filed his lawsuit as an individual. It names "Oakland Raiders, Ltd., a limited partnership; Allen Davis, a general partner," and 20 John Does.
It terms Davis' action in filing the 1980 suit, "willful, wanton, malicious, vexation, and oppressive," and says it was intended "to intimidate Klein into voting in favor of defendant Raiders' move to Los Angeles . . ."
As result of the 1880 suit, Klein's complaint asserts, "Klein has suffered loss of good will, loss of reputation, humiliation, injury to his health.
Inexperience a concern for track teams
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer
The inexperience of the Kansas men's and women's track teams proved to be a key factor as the Jayhawks finished in the last half of the pack Saturday at the Missouri Invitational in Columbia, Mo.
The men's team scored 25 points to finish last behind Missouri with 77 $\frac{1}{2}$ points and Kansas State with 36 $\frac{1}{2}$ points. The women's team scored 29 points to finish fourth, behind Missouri with 78, and Kansas State with 78, 75, and 51 points respectively. Southwest Missouri finished last with 5 points.
KU's coach Bob Timmons, who lost 21 seniors from last year's Big Eight Indoor championship team. "I think it's obvious that both K State and Missouri are going to compete for the upper part of the conference with Nebraska and Iowa State.
"The meet showed us that we have a long way to go, but we're determined to improve and we will improve."
Timmons said he was impressed with the performance of his pole vaulters, juniors Jim Metzger and Tom Hays, and his high jumpers, freshmen Stuart Burleson and Craig Bastrom.
Metzger took first place in his event for the second week in a row, clearing 16-6. Hays finished second with a vault of 16-0.
Metzger had won the pole vault the week before at the East Tennessee State International, going 17.2 for his personal best and a fifth in the NCAA indoor championship March 8-10 in Syracuse, N.Y.
In the high jump on Saturday, Burleson took second and Branstrom third. Both cleared 6.9, but Burleson had four misses, so he must finished third in the 60-yard high hurdle with a time of 7.9 seconds.
Other members of the men's team,

Leibert, second in the mile run;
Greg Dalzell, third in the 600-yard;
run. Bill Bunten, fourth in the 600;
Mike Rich, fourth in the long jump;
and Craig Glicken, second in the
shot put.
The mile relay team of Bunten, Ron Theberge, Bruce Connelly, and Jeff Beorski finished third
in women's competition, top finishers for Kansas were shot-putter Stine Lerdahl and spinner Vicki Cliker Lerdahl placed second in the shot with a throw of 45.10 and placed second in the shot with a throw of 45.10 in the 57-13 game.
Other members of the women's team placing at Missouri were Kim Jones, third in the long jump, and fifth in the 300-yard dash; Denise Buchan, third in the shot; Amnette Craighad, third in the mile; Yvette Grove, fourth in the 60-yard hurdles. Kris Pilgrim, fifth in the high jump, and Kelly Wood, fifth in the 800.
KU freshman Sharrieff Hazim, the Kansas high school record holder in the high jump, was expected to make his debut for the men's team at Missouri. However, Timmons said that Hazim was held out of the meet to allow him more time to recover from a heel bruise.
Timmons said that shot-putter and discus thrower Clint Johnson and middle-distance runner Dave Clemente redshirted for the indoor season.
"They both are eligible for one more outdoor season after this year, but if they had competed indoors this year they wouldn't be eligible for the indoor season next year," Timmons said.
