By GREG DAMMAN
Sports Writer
The Kansas Jayhawks will play host to the Missouri Tigers tonight in Allen Field House in one of the fiercest rivalries in the Big Eight.
The game will be nationally televised by USA Network. Tip-off is set for 8:10 p.m.
Missouri, conference champions the past four seasons, brings a four-game winning streak into the game. Norm Stewart is in his 17th year as head coach of the Tigers and has a 20-20 career record against Kansas.
The Tigers, 11.3, will be gunning for their fifth straight victory over the Jayhawks, 9.4, and their third in a row in Allen Field House

The last Kansas victory over Missouri came in the 1981 Big Eight Tournament, when the Jayhawks depleted the Tigers in the semifinals, 90-75.
THE GAME WILL be the conference opener for the Tigers. Kansas is 1-0 in the Big Eight, following Saturday's 53-48 win over Colorado.
"I really like their team," Kansas head coach Larry Brown said. "They're outbounded people fairly well, that's that one's area we've been working on."
Missouri lost three players from last year's team, including all-conference players Steve Stanipovich and Jon Sumville, who said the Tigers still need "special" training.
"Not very many people are familiar with Malcolm Thomas, and I have great respect for (Greg) Cavenger." Brown said.
Thomas leads the Tigers in scoring
and rebounding, averaging 18.6 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Cavener is second on the team in both categories, averaging 13.1 points and 8.4 rebounds
CAVENER, 6-FOOT-10, will start at center tonight for the Tigers. Thomas, 6-7, and sophomore Blake Wortham, 6-8, will guard, giving the Tigers a tall front line

The Jayhawks will open with the same lineup that started the Colorado game. Carl Henry and Kelly Knight will be at forward, Greg Deiling at center, and Calvin Thompson and Mark Turgeon at guard.
Henry leads the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding, but has played injured
most of the season. Henry's scoring and rebounding averages of 14.2 points and 5.2 rebounds a game are slightly lower than his average and 6.5 rebounds per game a year ago.

Although Henry leads the team in scoring and rebounding, Turguo will need to win a couple of games.
"He'll start, and I'm not afraid to play him," Brown said, "but he hasn't practiced well the last couple of days."
The Jayhawks displayed a deliberate style of play against Colorado, but Brown won't necessarily stay with that strategy.
"We don't want Missouri to run against us, but we'll try to run if the opportunity presents itself," Brown said.
Defensively, the Jayhawks are expected to play more often again, but their defense is reluctant to be forced.
FOR THE TIGERS, Jones has been the defensive catalyst. A 6-4 senior, Jones has played with a sprained wrist but is not at stopping the opponent's ton player.
Jones held North Carolina All-American Michael Jordan to 13 points and Michigan State standout Sam Vincent to nine.
KU leads the series overall, 130-75. Attendance for tonight's game is expected to be 13,000. Len Berman, the weekend sports anchor for NBC, will be in attendance tonight, preparing a special on Brown for the Feb. 5 nationally televised game against Wichita State.
Raiders fine seven players for absences
By United Press International
TAMPA, Fla. — The Oakland Raiders brought their rollicking act to the Super Bowl in typical fashion yesterday
— with seven players, including star quarterback Jim Plunket, being fired $1,000 each for missing an early-morning team meeting
Hendricks disclosed that seven Raiders missed the early-morning team
Three other players involved in the incident were cornerback Ted Watts, defensive lineman Johnny Robinson and defensive end Greg Townsend.
Linebacker Ted Hendricks, considered the Raiders' elder statesman, disclosed the incident and Coach Tom Brady said, "However, refused to confirm the fines.
"They were all laughing about it."
said Hendricks, "upholding the Raiden's arm."
FLORES CONFIRMED, "There were a few late for the meeting this morning. It was an early meeting. It would have been 4 a.m. California
But Flores was tightlipped about disciplinary action.
On a more temperate level, Cliff Branch said the Raiders could not afford to repeat the mistakes they made in Washington Redskins back in October.
"I don't expect a game like that," the Raiders' wide receiver said in reference to a 37-35 loss to the Redskins. "I think I was going to pass, we did then, give up 17 quick points."
That's crucial for this game. We need it.

Valuable Player after he scored 14 points, dealt out seven assists and stole the ball five times.
Major college teams did not flock to his door, and when KU decided to sign him to a one-year, make-good scholarship, the doubsters said thatouch was also as a favor and that Turgon would not play.
"He was good in high school, but . . . "
Turgceen's drawback, as anyone who has seen him can attest, is his size. At 5-foot-10, 140 pounds, he looks more like a junior jayhawk than KU's starting point guard.
"Mark's out there with his braces and his uniform
that looks like its too big for him." Brown said after the Colorado game. "It's exciting to watch."
Turgeon has also excited the crowd. From the opening minutes of his first home game, fan support in Allen Field House has been 100 percent behind the freshman from Toneka.
"It's probably because I'm playing close to home." Turgon said. "Also, because I am small. If I had to play against me, I'd be much harder."
Fans do tend to cheer for the underdog, but Turgeon, who is starting in place of Cedric Hunter, has gotten results, pushing the ball up the court and whipping the ball around the perimeter.
"Everytime I go in, coach tells me to move the ball. That's really my main goal." Turgeon said. "Usually when we swing the ball from side to side, it moves middle and we can get it inside to Greg (Dreeling)."
Brown has been surprised by the development of his new point guard. He signed Turgeon even though he had not seen him play, and like many other people, did not expect him to play immediately.
His puny appearance is always the topic of conversation, but Turgutson says he doesn't really understand it.
For a while this season Turgeon looked like a manager, sitting on the bench in street clothes. He injured his back before the season began, played in three games and sat out six three weeks with continuing back problems.
"It's something that points you out in a crowd, especially on the court. The only time it really botheres me is when we go on the road and people think I'm a manager."
"The second injury really hurt," Turgceen said. "I was starting to play well. After I got hurt, I didn't do anything."
"That was really the first time I doubted myself. Even after I came back, I had my doubts, especially after the Ohio State game when I made back-to-back turnovers."
But then came the eligibility problems of Hunter, and Brown was forced to try someone else at the point guard position.
"I don't know how much he would have played if Corrion would have stayed eligible," brown said. "But I'm going to take the chance."
no have stayed upright, and they have stayed upright. But Turkey has the opportunity and will be starting his second consecutive conference game tonight against Missouri, something he did not expect, when he signed with KU.
"I really didn't plan on starting, but a lot of things have happened," Turgon said. "When I first came up here, Carl (henry) was playing the 2. Guard and I was playing the 0. Joyce) was a point guard and now he's been moved."
"The only thing I've had a problem with is rebounding," he said. "A couple of times against Colorado I got in there and felt helpless. For some reason, it hasn't been a problem on defense. The only mistakes I make are from lack of hustle, not size."
Coming back from his injuries, Turgeon has had problems with his stamina. He has tired quickly and hasn't been able to play for more than six or seven minutes at a time.
"I'm still out of shape." Turgeon says. "For some reason, I've had a terrible time breathing this quad."
Turgeon hasn't made it yet, but he's a lot closer than he was two weeks ago. The test will come during the rest of the conference season. And the doubters will continue.
"He's had a few good games, but . . ."

Government opposes NCAA in football-broadcast dispute
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The federal government yesterday opposed the NCAA in a dispute pending at the Supreme Court over the group's multimillion-dollar arrangement with television networks to broadcast college football
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has asked the high court to rule that it can continue its broadcast of the $7.43 million in payments in 1983, and audiences of up to 22.5 million for each game broadcast.
A federal appeals court had ridden that the package was anti-competitive because it reduced the number of available to TV viewers nationwide.
Last July, Justice Byron White, one-time All America halfback, issued an order allowing the NCAA to continue its normal broadcasting schedule until the high court settles the case. The court's decision is expected by July.
In legal papers submitted to the court yesterday, the federal government urged the nine justices to uphold the lower court's rulings against the NCAA.
