Swimmers set records in first day
NORMAN, Okla. — After the first day of the Big Eight championships, the KU women swimmers have left the competition floating in the wake of their four record-setting performances.
As expected, Kansas left the rest of the field behind, racking up 306 team points after nine of 24 championship events. Nebraska trailed in second with 176 points, followed by Iowa State with 158, Oklahoma with 147 and Missouri with 119.
Although KU's 306 points at the end of the first day were a Big Eight record, KU coach Gary Kempt said the team had more in store for the competition.
"If I had to term a day the weakest, it would be today." he said.
JENNY WAGSTAFF led the Jayhawks by breaking two of her own Big Eight records. In the 100-yard butt kick, she beat the 200 individual medley 2:04.28.
The KU team backed up Wagstaff in both events, sweeping all places. In the 100 butterfly, Tanny Thomas finished second, followed by Celine Cerny and Susan Schaefer. Schaefer also finished behind Wagstaff in the 200 individual medley, taking second with 2:08.05, followed by Kelly Burke with 2:09.09.
Jayhawks also bettered a KU-owned Big Eight record in the 900 freestyle relay. The team of Stephanie Raney, Mike Horton and Wagstaff set the pace at 7:32-40.
IN THE 50 FREESTYLE, Thomas set a Big Eight record with her preliminary date of 22.94. In the finals, she swam a 23.07 to take first ahead of KU's Tammy Pease and Nebraska's Linda Sebesta.
Another KU relay took first place in the 202 medley. Mary Kay Fitzgerald, Marry Freathy, Tana Bowen and Peace swam legs to finish with a time of
Big Eight defending champion Dawn Lamarca of Oklahoma beat out three KU swimmers in the 50 breaststroke. Maureen McLeylaw filled the field.
Jayhawks Cerny and Bowen finished second and third behind another defending champion, Sherri Hayward of Nebraska, in the 200 breaststroke.
The only other swimming event KU didn't take first in was the 500 freestyle, which was won by Tanya Roach of Iowa State. KU's Runey finished fourth.
KU's Carl Henry got off a shot over K-State's Les Craft and Eddie Elder in the first meeting between the two schools in Ahearn Fieldhouse this year. The two teams will face off for the 200th time tomorrow in Allen Field House. The game is sold out.
KU, K-State play 200th game; loser bound for league cellar

Two familiar foes in an unfamiliar situation.

When the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats square off for the 200th time tomorrow in Allen Field House, no conference title will be on the field. The team will itself in the Big Eight's cellar. Tip-off for the television game will be 3:08 p.m.
The Jayhawks come into the game with two recent wins, which have improved their record to 11-13. But the Wildcats, also 11-13, have dropped four games in conference games, including a 76-58 thrashing at the hands of Oklahoma State.
THE LAST time K-State won was when he defeated KU 58-57 in Montreal (8-4).
Both teams are 3-8 in the conference
and are tied with Colorado for the
outside pick.
"In this game, you have to throw out the record," KU assistant coach Bob Hill said. "There is so much hype in this game, but besides the hype is bigger than the game.
"The one thing that we're pushing for is not to have a losing season. We're looking at the K-State game as just another game. We cannot afford to lose at home."
The-Wildcats, like the Jayhawks,
probably will start three freshmen. Tyrone Jackson, a 6-6 freshman, will start at one forward spot. He will be joined in the front court by Neal Degner, a 6-9 sophomore who is averaging 4.2 points a game, and Les Craft. Craft is the lone starter and is the only Wildcat to average more than ten points a game, scoring 10.4 a game. He had 16 points and six rebounds in the first meeting between the two teams.
IN THE BACKCourt, K-State will start a pair of freshmen, Fred Marshall is averaging 8 points a game Jim Roder, one of the five St. Louis freshmen on the squad, rounds out the starting five.
"We are both very young teams that are trying to get ready for the post-season tournament," head coach Ted Wenski said. "There will be no need to try and get a team up for this game, things will take care of themselves."
Although the Wildcats seem to be struggling, KU has shown signs of coming to life. After a tough loss to Missouri, they upset Oklahoma before winning. They game in more than two years against Iowa State 74-60 Wednesday night.
THE JAYHAWKS will stick with the same lineup that they have used for most of the conference season. Kerry will play at home this game, game will start on one forward. Calvin
Thompson, who had a season high 21 points against Iowa State, will join Boaigain at the other forward position. Kelly Knight, who is shooting above 55 percent in conference action, will start in the middle.
"I believe the key to our success has been Kelly Knight," Hill said. "We've got him more involved recently and when you get Kelly involved on the offensive end, he plays well on the defensive end as well."
Although he did not practice yesterday, Jeff Guot will probably start against K-State. Guot suffered a concussion against Iowa State and his recovery is questionable Carl Henry, who is averaging more than 17 points in a game in the conference season, will be the other starting guard.
"Carl on the boards has been another key," Hill said. "He's a great offensive rebounder. He's been getting us six to seven second shots a game."
"We've really got things going," Knight said. "There is no doubt in our minds that if we play well, we can win our next three games. We know our large session rides on the big Right court so we have to get to Kansas City."
KU women face ISU tonight
AFTER THE GAME against the Wildcats, KU finishes its home season against Nebraska Wednesday night before traveling to Colorado next
The Kansas women have a chance to get back on their feet again after Wednesday night's 78-68 loss to Kansas State with a home game against Iowa
The Jayhawks, who were soundly drubbed in the second half of the K-State game, will face the Iowa State Cyclones at 7:30 tonight in Allen Field House. The Cyclones have been idle in conference play for the past week.
Washington said she would start the same lineup, hoping that 6-6 center Philicia Allen and guard Angie Snider will snap back into form. Allen was held to six points and no rebounds, far short of her averages of 14.4 and 10.2, and
Snider was held to 11 points by K-State
In the Jan. 11 contest between the 'Hawks and the Cyclones, Snider scored 31 points and had 10 rebounds in KU7-84, 71 victory over Iowa State.
Joining Snider at guard will be Angela Taylor, and regular forwards Vickie and Barbara Adkins will round out the starting five.
Iowa State is expected to counter with 5-9 Jolene Leseman, who broke the Iowa State career rebounding record last week, 5-10 Jane McConnell in the backcourt, and 5-9 Robin Sawyer and 6-0 Cain Cait at forward. Tonya Farr was a 74 points and 91 rebounds a game, will match up with KU's Allen at center.
The Cyclones, 3-6 in Big Eight play,
ace a Jayha kwacky squad on the rebound
and kill the ball.
Washington said, "They just couldn't seem to find it. You hope you don't have many nights like that. We're just so young that inconsistency hurts us."
As the Big Eight season enters its final weeks, to the coaches each game's significance is measured by its effect on the seedings for the post-season competition.
Going into tonight's game, Kansas is tied with Missouri for second place, and Iowa State is in seventh place. The K-State game, which could have meant a first-place tie rather than a second for KU, put the pressure on the Jayhawks to nail down victories in the remaining three games of the regular season to enter the tournament from a position of strength.
"We have to recognize what it will take to win. We can't lose sight of it."
College coaches oppose Walker's move to pros
By United Press International
Herschel Walker's signing of a multimillion dollar contract with the New Jersey Generals of the U.S. Football League has triggered an outburst of opposition from college coaches and athletic directors across the country.
Frank Broyles, athletic director at the University of Arkansas, said yesterday that he did not blame Walker for signing the contract to play professional football, but that he would disrupt college football.
the U.S. Football League will be very disrupting and painful to college football down the line." Broyeles said.
Alabama coach Ray Perkins said, "I shudder to think of what it's going to do to college athletics. It could get to be a war between the NFL and the USF."
"I think the unprecedented action by
Walker, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, had another year of eligibility at Georgia when he signed the pro contract.
Perkins the pursuit of under-
class talent might go beyond the great
society where she is a star.
"I think there will be open warfare between the colleges and the pro football league and that's not good."
