The KU men's swimming team was not able to overpower defending champion Nebraska this weekend at the Big Eight Conference championship to take second place by running up 178 points in the final day of competition.
The Cornhuskers won their seventh conference title and fourth in a row by amassing 498 $\frac{1}{2}$ *points*. The Jayhawks followed with 419 $\frac{1}{4}$ Iowa State scored 465 $\frac{1}{4}$ for third, Missouri 314 for fourth and Alabama was a distant fifth with 128 $\frac{1}{4}$.
The 'Hawks trailed the Cyclones, 267-344 lt., after Friday's competition but came back on Saturday with their biggest single-day score for a big improvement over last year's fourthplace finish.
"LAST YEAR we were fourth in the conference and 220 points behind the University of Nebraska," KU Coach Gary Kempf said, "and this year we got to score 785 points behind Nebraska. That's the biggest thing we're pleased about."
"Our performance as a team was the biggest key. We did it as a group. We didn't go in there and do it just as individuals, but we had balance and depth throughout the meet, and that's why we came as close as we did."
Key, last-day finishes included Ron Neugent's first-place finish in the 1,650-yard freestyle, followed by Bob Vince's second place. The Jayhawks also nabbed the seventh-, ninth- and 12th-place finishes in that event.
JIM AMMONS PLACED fourth in the 100 freestyle and was KU's first initial in that event in three years. The Jayhawks also grabbed four of the top five finishes in the 200 backstroke with Brad Walls in second followed by Right, Brigh Tight, Brad Coens and Dale Lam in third, fourth and fifth positions.
"Of course our goal this year was to win the Big Eight championship."
Kempf said, "and after the second day of the meet our meetings of winning the championship were fairly slim, so it was kind of hard because we were behind by 50 points and in third place by 20 points below Iowa State.
"It would've been very easy for the team to kind of say, 'Well, we can't accomplish our goal and we're not going to worry about it,' but they didn't and they came back and outwash every single team on the last day of the
IN THE 200 backstroke, Chuck Neumann captured second, Don Martin eighth and John Fox tenth. Wells and Kirk were fourth and fifth in the 200 butterfly.
Every Jayhawk swimmer added team points to the total, including important points in the 3-meter diving from Mark Murpkin in sixth and Mike
KU's top finishes Friday came from Neumann, who was third in the 100 breaststroke and second in the 100 butterfly; Coens, second in the 100 backstroke; and Neueng, second in the 400 individual medley.
The Jayhawks set two new KU records in the 400 medley and 400 freestyle relays with times of 3:22.06 and 3:04.75. The medley time, set by Coens, Neumann, Wells and Ammons, was also a qualifying time for the NCAA Volleyball Athletic Championships, to take place March 24-26 at Indianapolis.
NEUUMANN'S TIME of 57.00 in the breaststroke also qualified him for nationalists. Neugent, who was KU's top swimmer this season and who said he had been gearing his training toward the national competition rather than the Big Eight, compiled first, second-and third place finishes in the 1,650 freestyle, the 400 individual medley and the 500 freestyle.
The meet was the last conference outing for KU's five seniors, Neumann, McCarthy and Dobroglu.
"Although we didn't win the meet, we surely did end on a positive note," Kemp said.
Jayhawks win, 74-63; avoid cellar

The KU men's basketball team avoided a last place finish in the Big Eight by eating Colorado, 74-63, in Boulder Saturday night. The Jayhawks never trailed in the second half while recording their fourth conference victory.
Kansas must now travel to Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in the first round of the Big Eight tournament tomorrow night. The Buffaloes will go to Missouri to face the conference champions.
The Jayhawks offset 21 turnovers with 60.7 percent shooting to raise their conference record to 4-10, the same as Kansas State. Colorado finished eighth in the conference as they dropped to 3-11.
"I DAY HE TO say that I'm more proud of this game than any we've played all year," KU coach Ted Owens said. "We obviously didn't want to be
the first Kansas team in years to finish last."
Carl Henry again led the Jayhawks in scoring with 21 points. Henry hit six of nine shots in the first half while playing through his injury, built its lead to 36-22 at the intermission.
"This game was very important to us." Henry said. "We didn't want to go to Missouri at all. I'm very happy to be going to Oklahoma."
Tad Boyle, a Colorado native, got the starting nod at point guard for only the fourth time in the conference schedule. He responded with three of three shooting and six assists. Jeff Dishman also started instead of Kerry Boogan
BOAGN CAME OFF the bench in the first half and scored six points in the last three minutes of the half to spark the Hawks.
The Buffalooes, who had beaten KU in Lawrence earlier this season, outscored the Jayhawks by eleven during the first nine minutes of the second half to cut the lead to only three. 47-44, but Calvin Thompson broke out of a shooting slump to score eight points in the next eight minutes to up the
Jayhawks' lead to 67.53 with three minutes left.
“At halftime, we said that Colorado was too good a team not to make a run. Owens said. ‘When the run was on, you can be able to keep our队. We did that.’”
KANSAS KEPT Colorado off balance offensively by using several defenses. Jay Humphries, the team's leading scorer, shot four of 14 from the floor. Mike Reid, the other starting guard, was even worse, not hitting a single shot in his six attempts. Colorado hit 41.3 percent of their shots from the
Vince Kelley led the Buffs with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Kelley and Randy Dowes were the only players in the game downs, the Colorado center, added in.
"I thought the turning point was when we got close and they got some rebound baskets," Colorado coach Tom Apke said. "Maybe we expended too much energy getting back in the game."
Tomorrow night the Jayhawks will
try to upset the Sooners for the second time this season. Oklahoma will be without coach Billy Tubbs, who is still recovering from injuries he received when he was hit by a car in Norman two weeks ago. He's now Newell is directing the Sooners, who have won their last two games by two points each.

Shot put, relay teams qualify for NCAA meet
The KU men's track team took advantage of "Last Chance Weekend" to qualify two more relay teams and a shot putter for the NCAA National Indoor Championships next weekend.
At Middle Tennessee's Last Chance Invitational at Murreesboro, Tenn., the mile relay team of Leonard Marvin, Darin Hill, Rodney Bullock and Deon Hogan finished in 3.079, an all-time KU team. The season ended in world this year. But that time was only good enough for second place, as Southern Methodist edged the 'Hawks by a half second to win the
race and post the best time in the world this year.
The mile relay was led by Bogan an anchor-leg split of 45.55, while the other three team members had splits in the 47s.
THE TWO-MILE RELAY team of Todd Ashley, Tim Gumby, Dave Cole and Van Schaffer also secured a trip to national, winning the race in a time of 7:25.31, second best in KU history.
Clinton Johnson also took advantage of a "Last Chance" meet, this one in Fayetteville, Ark., to qualify for nationals. He threw the shot put 60-4, good enough for second place in the meet and a ticket to nationals.
Men's tennis team wins
The KU men's tennis team won its first two home matches this season by whipping St. Louis 9-0 on Saturday, and Baker, 7-2 on Friday.
"Everybody looked good against Beer," coach Scott Perelman said. "It was great."
Perealman tried different lineups in both matches. He said that he is trying to find the right combinations before the conference season.
"My philosophy is that I'm going to move people around to see how the players respond," Perelman said. "By asking them what we should have our lineup solidified."
Against St. Louis, Perelman may have found the doubles combinations that he will use for the rest of the season. France Caciopolini, who plays No. 6 singles for the Jayhawks, teamed with Scott Alexander, the team's No. 1 player. Jim Syret and Brett Blair also teamed up. Perel曼 said that these
two combinations will probably play two the doubles spots.
Although they won two matches, Tom Black and Quentin Brewer probably will not play regularly, according to Perelman. Charles Stearns and Micheal Center will probably play in the other doubles position.

The Kansas women's basketball team had its quest to end Colorado's 50-game home court winning streak dashed in a five-minute span.
Colorado's home winning streak is still alive after the Lady Buffs successfully fought off KU's challenge and beat the Jayhawks, 90-81, before 2.375 fans in the Events Conference Center in Boulder Saturday.
Kansas provided Colorado its 51st consecutive home court victory in the Big Eight finale for each team. The loss, which ended KU's regular season with a 9-5 conference record, dropped into third place in league standings.

50-game streak. The Lady Buffs hit 58 of their shots, compared to the 63 percent for their team.
Jayhawks tied the game at 46 with 18-41 minutes left in the second half on a shot by Barbara Adkins. But KU suffered a five minute drought before scoring again. The Lady Buffs capitalized on the opportunity, running off 12 straight points of their own to give them a 58-46 lead.
The Jayhawks played even with Colorado in almost every respect. Both teams had 21 turnovers and 36 rebounds, and KU even made nine more throws than the Lady Titans. A touch that ruined KU's hopes of ending the
