Page 16 University Daily Kansan, February 24, 1983 Hawks move out of conference cellar KU beats Iowa State 74-60 in rare road victory By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Writer Sports Writer The last time the Kansas Jayhawks won a Big Eight basketball game on the road, they were on their way to a conference title and a berth in the NCAA tournament. A conference title may be a little out of reach for this year's team, but for the first time since Feb. 14, 1961, when they won the conference title, Kwon won a conference game on the road. Paced by Carl Henry and Calvin Thompson, the Jayhawks trounced the Iowa State Cyclones, 74-60, before a crowd of 9,958 at the Hilton Coliseum last night. IT WAS THE second consecutive victory for the 'Hawks, who are now in a tie for sixth place in the conference, at 3-8, with Kansas State and Colorado. "We hadn't won a Big Eight game on the road in two seasons, but that's the good thing about young players." head coach Ted Owens said. "They don't let the next affect them." The Cyclones, 5-6 in the conference, jumped out early on the 'Hawks and led 10-5. But the Jayhawks got hot and Caivin Thompson another big game After an Iowa State time out, the Jayhawks increased their lead to nine points, 23-14, before the Cyclones closed the gap, Barry Stevens, who had Jeff Guiot ... suffered concussion just eight points in the content, hit two free throws to narrow the score to 36-22 THE JAYHAWK, who shot poorly in the first half, used their rebounding and defense to take the lead at halftime. The second half two scorers to nst 10 first-half points. "We were able to stay in the game with our defense," Owens said. "Then we started to play with poise on offense that started to take control of the game." Thompson and Henry combined for 29 of Kansas' 48 second-half points as the Jahyhans slowly pulled away for the victory in the closing half. Twice in the half, the Hawks led by 15 points, but a final run at Kansas that fell well短. Henry and Thompson, whose total was a career high, each had 21 points to share game-high honors. Henry also had 13 rebounds to raise his totals for the past five games to 90 points and 55 rebounds. percent from the field, made 24 of 32 free throws (18 of 21 in the second half), and outboundbounded the Cyclones, 49-38, players in double figures, a season high. The Cyclones were led by guard Jeff Hornacek, who hilt for 15 points, Stevens and Ron Harris, the Cyclones top players, managed just 16 points be The Cyclones shot 35.7 percent from the field and hit just 10 of 20 free throws. "We are playing so much better under pressure than we did earlier in the season," she said. Even though the Jayhawks were happy with their second straight conference victory, they did receive some bad news. Jeff Guito suffered a mild concussion midway through the first half and did not return to the contest. It is not known whether he will be ready to play in Kansas' next game Kansas takes on the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday afternoon at 3:08 p. m. at Allen Field House. A victory in that contest would lift the Jawhynks out of the conference cellar for the first time this season. IN OTHER BIG EIGHT ACTION.

Lady Cat centers Tina Dixon and Angie Bonner scored 24 of their combined 41 points in the second half as the 12th-ranked Lady Cats turned away the Kansas Jayhawks 78-68 before 1,370 people in Allen Field House. Kansas had its biggest home crowd in two years, but the majority of the fans were from KState. THE LOSS snapped a six-game winning streak for the Jayhawks and gave K-State a two-game lead in the Big Eight Conference race. A Kansas victory would have moved the Jayhawks into a first place tie with "When you're fighting for the title, it makes all the difference," K-State coach Lenn Hickey said. But for KU coach Marian Washington, the game wasn't a total loss. "I THINK WE had a number of people who kept coming in and playing well, but Dixon was the difference. We were ready to play," Hickey said. "kids were ready to play." Hickey said. "I think we gained a lot," she said. "We need to understand what it's going to take to beat a team like Kansas State. It's going to take a team effort, and everybody has a role to play. That was reinforced tonight." For the Lady Cats, who beat Kansas a month ago after trailing most of the game, the contest was won in the second half. Hickey said the depth of KUState bench and their intensity enabled them to overtake the Jay hawks. Trailing 41-36 at halftime, K-State came out firing. They outscored the Jayhawks 15-16 in the first six minutes of the second half and tied the game at 7-7. The Rockets lost for good less than a minute later on what was to be commonplace before FINISHED STYLES The Hair Station (913) 841-8590 1119 Massachusetts Shampoo + Haircut + Bowdry $12 for Men and Women Ask for Jerry or Gloria KVM Housing Problems Got You Down?

Between the two, they collected 13 points, including the entire Kansas lineup grabbed during that same time. At one time, the Jayhawks were able to pull within one, but that was as close as they got. Leading 60-58 with 7:19 remaining, K-State outscored the Jayhawks 14-4 over the next $4\frac{1}{2}$ minutes to put the game out of reach. THE JAYHAWKS made only 10 of 30 field goals and seats of 14 free throw attempts in the second half, and were outbounded, 25-14. With mainstay Philica Allen on the bench in four minutes to break KU's defense, at the same time keeping the Jayhawks from having any type of an inside game. "We didn't get what we had hoped from Philicia," Washington said. Allen, who had been averaging 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds a game, finished with season lows in both categories: six points, no rebounds. ANGIE SNIDER, who finished with 11 points on four of 16 shooting, said, "We couldn't, any way. We had to defend and then we'd come back and just throw up a shot." "I'm disappointed in the play of a few players. We did well in the first half, but then didn't get into it in the second half." Washington said.

When Athletes United for Peace decided to take on the project of gathering world-class Soviet track and field athletes to compete at the 1983 Kansas Relays, its attitude about the chances for success was pessimistic, the AUP executive director said yesterday. Not only has the Soviet ambassador to the United States, Anatoliy Dobrynin, accepted the AUP's invitation and wired it to Moscow, but the Russian president has invited state and federal officials from both Republican and Democratic parties. STATE REP. Robert Millett, R-Wellington, Jim Ploger, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party Committee and Congressman Jim Slattery, D-Kan, have given their support to the project. The AUP has also written Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, and Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore, asking them to write Dobrynin to ensure Soviet acceptance of the invitation. AUP, which was formed last November by Robert Swan, a local insurance executive, has also taken big strides in raising funds for the Russian athletes' transportation, Scott said. The student council of Bishop Miege High School, in Fairway, has agreed to raise funds for the project, and the Douglas County Bank in Lawrence has agreed to donate to the AUP cause. SCOTT ALSO said the Lawrence Holdome had offered a discount rate to house the Soviets and that Maupintour has agreed to provide ground transport links. Bv United Press International Scott said that there still were many obstacles to overcome, such as the remainder of the financial support needed for the Russian's air transport and the Russian sports officials' decision about which athletes to send to the relays. The project's success is still in question, he said. "I'm hoping to know something definite by March 1," Scott said. "That's based on my own intuition. I can't really say for sure when we'll know anything solid." ATLANTA — Georgia Coach Vince Doley said yesterday that Herschel Walker "played with fire and got burned." Walker signs USFL contract Walker, this year's Heisman Trophy winner who scored 52 touchdowns and rushed for 5,250 yards this season, decided to turn pro yesterday, giving "It's a sad day. It's a sad day for college football; it's a sad day for pro football." "Dooley said as he stepped off a flight from Denver night night." "He didn't do what he wanted to do." Dooley said. "He wanted to set records, maybe that would not be broken for a generation." up his last year of eligibility to sign with the New Jersey Generals of the new United States Football League for what was reported to be $16.5 million. Walker often had said that one of the reasons he wanted to wait until the end of his senior year to turn pro was so he would have an opportunity to try out for a major league spinner. Turning pro makes him ineligible for Olympic competition.
