In the media poll, Wichita State received 22 first-place votes to nine for Tulsa and two for Illinois State.
The remainder of the coaches' poll placed Drake in fourth, followed by Bradley, Indiana State, Creighton, Southern Illinois and West Texas State. The media ranked Bradley fourth, followed by Indiana State, Drake, Creighton, Southern Illinois and West Texas State.
Henderson charged with sex crimes
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Former Dallas Cowboy linebacker Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson was charged yesterday with five sex and drug felonies involving two teen-age girls, one of whom is a paraplegic.
Henderson, 30, was charged with two counts of false imprisonment and one each of forced oral copulation, sexual battery and furnishing sexually explicit materials.
The former Cowboy, who went with Dallas to three Super Bowls, was ordered to appear today in Long Beach Municipal Court for arraignment. He was freed on $16,000 bail following his arrest Nov. 3.
Prosecutors say that two girls, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old who is confined to a wheelchair, were lured to Henderson's apartment, where the 6-foot-3, 240-pound former football star forced the 15-year-old to have sex with him at gunpoint.
Hartman signs 3 basketball recruits
MANHATTAN — Kansas State Coach Jack Hartman announced the signing yesterday of three basketball players to national letters of sponsorship.
Meyer averaged 26.7 points and 12 rebounds per game as a junior to lead Wichita Campus High School to a 17-4 record and the Ark Valley League championship last season. The Wildcats also signed 6-4 guard Jordyn Williams from School and 6-4 forward Ken Muff of Cloud County Community College.
Dobbins averaged 25.3 points and 14 rebounds a game in leading Humboldt to a 21-1 record last winter. He was an all-state pick in both basketball and football and turned down a scholarship offer to play quarterback at Nebraska.
Muff, who prepped at Salina Central, averaged 14.1 points and 10.1 rebounds for a 25-5 Cloud County team last season.

Loyd, seniors play final volleyball game tonight
Senior Leslie Loyd and the KU volleyball team will close out the Jayhawks home schedule at 8:30 a.m. In the Fen Field House against Kansas State.
Because it is the last home match, four KU seniors and their parents will be recognized before the start of tonight's match.
"It will be different, but I am kind of glad." Loyd said about ending her college career in volleyball. "It has been four years. Now I will have more time to do other things and concentrate on school."
"This year it is well, but I can tell it
is injured," Loyd said about her knee.
Loyd, a physical education major, came to KU last year from Cowley County Community College in Arkansas. She was an all-region volleyball player.
SHE WAS HAMPERED by a shoulder injury much of last season and worked on strengthening her shoulder in the off-season by lifting weights.
Weight lifting is also one of her hobbies, along with running and participating in a variety of sports. For volleyball, she said that she lifted weights that concentrated on the mid-section and leg muscles.
A Farmington, N.M. native, Loyd
followed her high school volleyball coach to Cowley County. She said that she had wanted to attend a junior college because she had thought she would have a chance to play both volleyball and basketball.
Leslie Lovd
SHE WAS IMPRESSED with Cowley County's program because it finished in
the top four in the region consistently.
The two years that she was at Cowley
County, the team finished above 500,
she said.
"I thought I wanted to go on playing volleyball so I started looking around." she said. "I had it narrowed down to two choices, Texas Tech and KU. I had tried the program at KU already and I liked the program at KU better so I decided to stay in Kansas."
Loyd began playing volleyball and basketball when she was in the eighth grade because she wanted to do something athletic.
"He was a very good athlete and my parents were around him as an athlete a lot, and then I came along so they continued doing the same things for me," she said. "They drove us to practice and went to our games."
She earned all conference honors in volleyball and basketball her senior year of high school and was also second team all-state in basketball
Loyd was not the only athlete in her family. She has one brother, who is also a track and field coach.
Lloyd said that her parents had been supportive of her throughout her athletic career. They were able to see her play in the juvenile buqueque sport, which they ported this year.
"THEY WOULD LIKE it if I was closer to home, of course," she said.
"Since my high school was big we had a pretty high level of play so there was not much of a change," she said. "The only differences, if there were any, were running more plays and maybe working a little harder."
The adjustment from a large high school in New Mexico to a junior college in Kansas, as far as playing volleyball, was not that drastic. Loyd
"It was different," she said. "It seems like, well, the competition is harder. My teammates are more skilled at their positions than in junior college. Practice is a little longer, but that is mainly a coach's choice."
LOYD DOES NOT mind putting in the practice time, concentrating on service reception and blocking techniques, with head coach Bob Lockwood because she said that playing against an experienced Nebraska could be intimidating.
The change from a junior college to KU was not a big one for her either.
Her immediate goals for the team, Loyd said, are to be beat K State tonight, to go in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday and play a good match against the Cornhuskers, then a good week of practice before the Big Eight Conference Volleyball Championships next weekend in Ames, Iowa.
"It helps after you stuff it to them a couple of times," she said.
"I want to finish the season strong because we have not been playing as much."
Basketball ticket sales finish 1,500 ahead of 1982-83 pace
Response to a last-day ticket sale was positive, as 543 students lined up Tuesday to buy season tickets for the 1983-84 basketball season.
By the Kansan Staff
VOLLEYBALL NOTES — Juno
Beth Vivian, a setter from Omaha,
Neb. was named to the first team of the
Eight Academic Team this week.
The sale helped push final student ticket sales to nearly 1,500 more than last year, said Terry Johnson, interim ticket manager.
The final tally for student ticket sales were 4,866 after Tuesday. More than half of those tickets were purchased by students who bought All Sports tickets.
The athletic department originally had said that 334 additional tickets were left because of the redistribution of student seating. But the department decided to open up sales for an extra section when all 334 tickets were sold in
one and a half hours.
Mike Hamrick, administrative assistant to the athletic director, said that 150 students were lined up in front of the gymnasium on Tuesday morning when sales began.
"THEERE WAS SUCH a demand for them early in the morning that we decided to go ahead and open up another section." Hamrick said.
Anne Stucker, chairman of the Student Sports Council, said she was extremely pleased with Tuesday's turnout.
The council had earlier expressed disapproval with the athletic department's new ticket policy and had asked that ticket sales be reopened.
Stucker said she thought Saturday's turnout of 7,000 people for the Jayhawk intrasquid game helped make students aware of the team's potential.
