Bulldogs beat defending Tar Heels
By United Press International
The Bulldogs of Georgia upset defending champion North Carolina 82-77 yesterday in the finals of the Mideast Regional NCAA basketball tournament in Syracuse, N.Y.
Georgia will meet North Carolina State in the opening game of next weekend's Final Four in New Mexico. In the other semifinal, Louisville takes on No. 1. Houston, a resounding 89-71 winner over Villanova yesterday in the finals of the Midwest Regional NCAA tournament.
The two winners meet for the championship the night of April 4.
APPEARING IN ITS first NCAA tournament in the university's history, No. 15 Georgia received 20 points from James Banks and relentlessly banged the offensive boards in running its record to 24-9.
"Words cannot describe how I feel right now," said Banks, who was recruited by North Carolina but chose Maryland by the midst of the night and it will hit me."
The Bulldogs, tied for fourth in the Southeastern Conference but winner of the league tournament, hit the No. 8 Tar Heels hard. The loss was the first for North Carolina coach Dean Smith in eight tries in a regional final. No team has retained its NCAA title since UCLA in 1972-73.
Vern Fleming added 17 points for Georgia, which shot 67 percent to North Carolina's 35 percent over the first 15 minutes of the second half. Gerald Crowdy had 17 points for the Bulls, who scored their last 10 points from the
In Kansas City, Mo., Houston hammered No. 11 Villanova with a thundering transition game and a ferocious domination of the boards to return to the Final Four for the second straight year.
MICHAEL JORDAN carried the Tar Heels with 26 points and fellow All-America Sam Perkins had 11 rebounds and 16 points, all but two in
the second half. Brad Daugherty added 13 points.
MICHAEL YOUNG added 20 points, Clyde Drexler 12 and Houston's so-called Phil Slam Jama fraternity held up to four matches with 9 dunks, including EJ Baiyuang
Larry Micheaux scored a career-high 30 points and had 12 rebounds and 4 blocks while 7-foot Akeem Olijuwan had 20 points, 13 rebounds, 8 blocks and 2 steals as Houston improved to 36.2 of its winning streak to 25 games.
Ed Pinckney and John Finne each scored 18 points and Dwyane McClain 17 for Villanova, which finished at 24.8. On Saturday, in one of college
basketball's great grudge matches,
Louisville defeated Kentucky 80-68 in
the finals of the Mideast Regional in
March. Notre Dame and state
neighbors have met in 24 years.
In the West Regional finals in Ogden, Utah, North Carolina State continued its remarkable roll by beating Virginia 63-62 and ending the college career of Ralph Sampson, the three-time Player of the Year.
The Cardinals rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit before reeling off 14 straight points in overtime. Lancaster Gordon had 24 points and Milt Wagner 18 for Louisville. Kentucky's Jim Master, whose 14 points put Burger forced overtime, and Melvin Turpin each scored 18 points.
Derek Whittenburg scored 24 points and Lorenzo Charles sank two free throws with 23 seconds remaining to win.
KU's Neugent is NCAA All-American
By COLLIN HERMRECK
Sports Writer
Kansas senior Ron Neugen finished in 11th place in the 1,650-yd freestyle Saturday at the NCAA Championships in Indianapolis, Ind., to become the first male All-American swimmer at Kansas since 1971.
The last All-American was Tom Kempf, the older brother of KU Coach Gary Kempf, who earned the honor in his latter also placing 11th in the same event.
Neugent's 11th-place consolation finish came in a time of 15:15.23, an all-time best for Neugent as well as a KU varsity record. It broke the mark of 15:29.91 that he set last year at the U.S. NATIONals at Gainesville, Fla.
NEUGENT, ALTHOUGH being a little disappointed with his performance, said he was happy to place in the national meet and become an All-American.
"I feel I'm better than what I showed at the NCAs, although this was my best national meet in two years," Neugent said.
He also bettered KU records in the 400 individual medley with a time of 3:55.40 and an 138-hole finish, and in the 600 individual medley he finished in 4:25.2, good for 22nd place.
"I REALLY WANTED to swim that race again," Neugent said. "This year's meet was a much faster meet. My preliminary time would have placed me in the top six last year."
Chuck Neumann, KU's other individual qualifier, finished 17th with his preliminary time of 85-85, a time that was enough to qualify for the consolation finals.
KU's two team points and tie for 31st with Utah came from Neugent's consolation final finish. Nebraska, the Big Eight champion the last three years, finished 27th with six points.
Neugent had missed qualifying for the consolation finals in the 400 individual medley by nine-hundredths of a second.
KU's only other entry, the 400 medley relay of Brad Coens, Brad Wells, Jim Ammons and Neumann, was disqualified because of what Kempf called a very controversial call by the judges that ruled a false start on the last leg of the relay.
No.1 tennis player kicked off team
by JEFF CRAVENS Sports Writer
The KU men's tennis team won two of three matches, but lost its No. 1 singles player last week when Scott Alexander was dismissed from the team because of discipline problems.
Coach Scott Perelman said that Alexander lost control of his temper in the No. 1 singles match against Marcos Baghdadi, a match Alexander lost by default.
"It was a decision based on "principal," Perelman said. "We won't be quite as strong now, but I discussed it with the rest of the players and decided it had to be done."
PERELMAN SAID that he had warned Alexander about his on-court antics before. He also said that Alexander was going to talk to an assistant athletic director this week when Alexander was officially of the team.
Oral Roberts defeated the Jayhawks 5-4 in a hard-fought match on Friday. KU then defeated Northwest Kentucky in KU, Creighton 9-4 in 9-4 matches.
"I think the men are coming along." Perelman said. "It was a tough match against ORU, but we didn't play particularly well."
Jim Syrett and Brett Blair each picked up three singles victories. Charles Stearns won two matches, including the No. 1 singles match
against Creighton after Alexander was dismissed from the team.
Tom Black, normally KU's seventh man, was moved up to No. 6 singles against Creighton and responded with a win. Blank played doubles with Franco Cacioppo and Nicolas Brennin with Penta Brewer, teamed up with Blair to win two double matches against Creighton.
IN TULA, OKLA., the women's team won three of four matches to raise their record to 10-3. KU beat Oklahoma City University and College of St. Francis on Friday, and East Central Oklahoma State on Saturday. Oral Roberts, a team that beat the women in the fall, turned the trick again Saturday, topping KU 5-2.
"It was late at night so we played until one team got the necessary five wins. When they won their fifth win, we went ahead in the other two matches."
LAURA RUNNELS AND Stefanie Dicke each came up with three singles wins in the four matches. Runnels and Maureen Guilfon won all three doubles matches. Because of the rain, the matches were shortened and not every match was played in each dual.
The men's team will host Southwest Baptist on Thursday, but the women will not be in action until they, when they travel to Emporia State.
The KU baseball team struggled through three close games against Oklahoma this weekend, dropping two and winning one.
The two scheduled doubleheaders have been stretched to last another day, due to the cold, wet weather that has plagued the early season. In Norman, Oki, to play the final game of the series this afternoon.
"ANYTIME YOU GO on the road and you come out with a split, you feel like you've accomplished something," he said.
KU coach Marty Pattin said last night that he was hoping for a win to salvage the road trip.
The 'Hawks dropped the first game of the series on Saturday, 10-9, in spite of three home runs off
Jayhawk bats. Veteran Dick Lewen went four for five at the plate, but the Sooners scored four runs in eight inning to seep up the game.
YESTERDAY, FRESHMAN John Heeney pitched a no-hitter in the first game of the twin bill to earn a place in the starting rotation. Left field Joel Golian knocked one out to score the game's only run.
The second game went into extra innings with the score tied at three all, when Kevin Bassec hit a pitch out of the park to put KU ahead temporarily. In the bottom of the ninth, Oklahoma went ahead to win.
Going into today's game, the Jayhawks are 7-8. They have hit 19 home runs in 15 games.
KU softball team wins
The Jayhawk softball team captured three straight victories, including the championship of their tournament pool Saturday before rain canceled the game. The isi team National American Legion Tournament in Bartlesville, Okla.
KU, which increased its season record to 14-3, was leading St. Louis 1-0 in the fourth and final game of the first-round pool before the rain came, forcing a cancellation of the championship rounds.
The Jayhawks laid claim to the championship of their pool by beating Oklahoma 2-1. Freshman pitcher Tracy Bunge was the winning pitcher, bringing her record to 10-2.
BUNGE, WHO THREW nine strikeouts and gave up only four hits, also came through at the plate with a single that knocked in two runs in the bottom
of the third with two outs, to give KU its third straight win in the journey.
The Jayhawks started off their play in the tournament Thursday night with an exciting 10th inning 2-1 win over Michigan State.
KU got the victory when Colette Seitz led off with a single, stole second, moved to third on an infield out and knocked off a sacrifice fire by Liz Commine.
The Jayhawks got their second win in the tourney with a 5-1 defeat over Nebraska-Omaha with Seitz, who walked only one batter, getting the win. KU erupted for four runs in the second inning to break the game open.
THE JAYHAWKS are scheduled to meet tough conference feo Missouri at 3 p.m. tomorrow at Holcom Sports Complex if the weather permits.
Jayhawk bats combined for 10 hits while KU allowed six Mavrick hits.
DePaul faces Nebraska
Meyer, whose Blue Demons won the NIT in 1945 after losing in the finals to St. John's in 1944, is back in the semifinals again. DePaul, 20-11, meets Nebraska at Madison Square Garden tonight, with Fresno State batting Wake Forest in the other semifinal game.
NEW YORK — DePaul coach Ray Meyer and the National Invitation Tournament are old friends.
Bv United Press International
Although the NIT presently consists of teams not selected for the 52-tem team NCAA Tournament, Meyer remember when he was THE college showcase.
THE WINNERS WILL meet Wednesday night to determine the 46th
"I've come full cycle from George Mikan to the present NIT." Meyer said. "I can remember when we had bids from both the NIT and the NCAA and took the NIT because it was the more prestigious tournament."
MEYER MIGHT BE familiar with the NIT but DePaul's opponent is a stranger to the 68-year-old coach.
for fun," Meyer said. "It isn't how big you are. It's how big you play and I hear the Cornhuskers play pretty big. Some of our kids come in with these things that they don't believe in defense and that they ask anything can happen."
"I don't know anything about Nebraska and that's OK because this is all
Nebraska, 22-9, is away from home for the first time since the tournament began.
"We are here because we played three games at home (Tulane, Iona and Texas Christian)." Nebraska coach Moe Iba said. "And I don't think we're going to have much fun for us we would have been able to win all three of those games on the road."
Fresno State, 22-10, defeated Texas-El Paso, Michigan State and Oregon State to reach the NIT Final. He won by a single forwarda Bernard Thompson and 6-7 Ron Anderson, who averages just under 19 points a game.
Kicker punts team after missing workouts
FRESNO STATE coach Boyd Grant feels his team suffers from an identity crisis.
WAKE FOREST, 19-11, has struggled since early February after injuries to center Anthony Teachey, point guard Danny Young and forward Alvis Rogers.
The Jayhawks are into the official spring football season and place kicker Bruce Kalmeyer is noticeably missing.
Kallmyer, who has been KU's starting kicker since he was a freshman three years ago, has quit the team. KU head coach Mike Goffredini came back into the fold, but Kallmyer would have in play by Gottfried's rules.
The Gottfried rule that Kallmeyer had been having trouble with was the one where he had to make a decision.
JAN BOUTTE Sports Editor
KALLEMEYER SAID that he had gone to Gotfried before missing the practices and told him that he would be sent home because of projects due in his classes.
week before spring break, Kallmeyer missed three workouts. When he returned, his locker had been cleaned out.
Kallmeyer, a two-time Academic All-American, takes his engineering major very seriously. He also takes his football very seriously. He is no slumber when it comes to putting the ball through the uprights. Last season he made good on ten of 14 field goal attempts and his longest field goal was from 52 yards out.
THE PROBLEM SEEMS to be fitting both time-consuming activities into the mere 24 hours of each day. And there's an added twist thrown in. The off-season conditioning sessions just happen to be for credit.
The entire squad is "encouraged" to enroll in a specific section of HPER 108, physical conditioning, worth one well-earned credit hour. It's taught by the football coaching staff, and is technically open to all players it is an off-season running and conditioning session three times a week.
CS MAJORS
MASS ADVISING
For Preenrollment Tuesday, March 29 Strong Auditorium 4:00-5:30 p.m.
I NOT REALLY convinced by either Kallmeier's or Gottfried's explanation of the whole situation. What it boils down to is that Kallmeier is getting in the way of his studies and he should be excused for classwork.
Gotfried contends that Kallmeyer hasn't shown a commitment to him or to football this spring, and that he has to play by the rules. He adds that those rules include exceptions for class commitments.

The basic problem with Kallmeyer's contentions is that too many other players are making all the practices, some who are carrying considerably more than Kallmeyer's 12 hours.
A TALK WITH Mike Fischer, the academic counselor for the team, revealed that a player is excused for class commitments during practice with no repercussions. Fischer said he was made up missed conditioning sessions.
In Kallmeyer's case, the class obligations weren't schedule conflicts, but time management problems. And we all know about those. You don't have to be a football player to have to finishning everything that has to be done.
My qualms with Gottfried's argument is not really with him or his policies, but with the system.
My dissatisfaction is with the monstrous amount of time required of a collegiate athlete. The problem is not that I am so tired, but that sport requires off-season training.
IT ISN'T ENOUGH that during the regular season the sport takes over the athlete's life, but it has to take up most of their time and energy year-round.
It's especially bad for the football players this year, since they must secure their positions by impressing a whole new group of coaches.
The off-season semester, typically the time for athletes to take the tougher classes and heavier course loads, has become just as time-consuming and energy-depleting as the regular season.
Bruce Kallmeyer found his own solution to the problem, but I've never thought that quitting was a solution. It's just a way of avoiding the problem.
