'Hawks nab first Big Eight win
By GINO STRIPPOLI
Sports Writer
It was not pretty, but the Kansas Jayhawks got their first Big Eight victory of the season last night, defeating Iowa State, 75-49, before a sparse camp of 6,086 at Allen Field House.
"This was a crucial game for us," he said. "If we would have lost this game, it could have destroyed us for the season."
"It's been a real long time," said junior center Kyle Knight, one of the few jayhawks playing last night who played in the last Kansas Big Eight victory.
Kansas got off to a slow start and managed a one-point lead, 12-11, with 12:13 left in the opening half. Then Iowa State, led by forward Barry Stevens and guard Terrance Allen, took the lead for good in the half. They ran the score for 50-45. Kansas outscored the Cyclones, 10-5, to close the gap to 38-36 at halftime.
"In the first half, we build up a seven-point lead, but again that kind of a lead on the road is not safe," Iowa State Coach Johnny Orr said. "Kansas was able to get the ball inside, and they got back into the ballgame."
The Jayhawks were led in the opening half by Knight, who seemed to be back near full strength from a shoulder injury that had slowed him the past two weeks. Knight had 10 points and five rebounds in the first half to Jayhawks in both categories. Freshman Jayhawks in the first four shots from the field, scored nine, and junior Carl Henry added eight first half points.
The Cyclones were led by Stevens with 11 points and Allen with nine. The Cyclones, the leading rebounding team in the Big Eight, easily outbounded the Hawks in the first half, 26-19, and of their baskets were on follow shots.
The Jayhawks came out in the second
half and outscored the Cyclones, 11-6,
to take a short-lived lead. The Cyclones

Kansas then got two baskets from Henry, making the score 56-51, but Iowa State would not give up. The Jayhawks, who shot poorly from the foul line in the first half, hit 16 of 18 from the line down the stretch to clinch the victory, their first Big Eight victory since they beat Nebraska last year on Feb. 13. The Jayhawks hit only one shot, a basket by Knight, over the last 8:37 of the game, but their free-throw shooting was too much for the Cyclones, 2-3 in the conference and 10-8 overall.
The Jayhawks were led by Boagni, who had 19 points and nine rebounds. Knight scored 18 points and had nine rebounds, and Henry added 16 points. Jeff Guiot, who made just two of six from the field, was five of six from the line for nine points. Tad Boyle, who had not played in the last two Kansas games, came off the bench and made five assists.
The Cyclones were led by Stevens, who was All-Big Eight Player of the Week for his play last week. Stevens had 16 points but fouled out with 5:40 left in the game. Allen added 15 points and had a team-high nine rebounds from the guard position. Ron Harris had 12 points.
"We played fair tonight," Kansas Coach Owens said, "but we were too stupid."
"We have been working real hard on defense the last few days, and maybe
The Jayhawks, who evened their overall record at 9-9 and raised their conference record to 1-4, go on the road to play the Nebraska Cornhuskens Saturday in Lincoln. Nebraska upset the Oklahoma Sooners last night, 69-58.

Awards still roll in for KU's Woodard
By GINO STRIPPOLI Sports Writer
Former Kansas basketball standout Lynette Woodard is a busy woman these days. Last night she received the prestigious new Southland Olympia Award during ceremonies at halftime in Salt Lake City, where she will be a couple of weeks, Woodard will be participating in the Superstars competition, held annually by ABC-TV.
The Olympia Award is yet another honor for the four-time All-American from Kansas, who was the first woman inducted into the Kansas Hall of Fame. Bob Mathias, former gold medal winner in the decathlon and a member of the Olympia selection committee, said that few awards have escaped Woodard during her distinguished career.
"HIR AWARDS include the Wade Trophy, given annually to the nation's best amateur basketball player and the Broderick Award from the AIAW for being the year's best collegiate basketball player." Marias said. "And she never played organized basketball until her sophomore year in high school."
Woodard, who played basketball in Schio, Italy, the season after she graduated from KU in 1980, was only the second four-time female All-Star and the senior KU she led the nation in steals while averaging 25 points a game.
"It itts great," Woodard said last night. "I heard I was nominated and that was a thrill in itself. When I heard that I had won it, it was a great hearth."
WOODARD JOINS the ranks of Olympia recipients Alberto Salazar, Tracy Caukins, Bart Conner and Ralph Sampson. The award winner is chosen
by a board of Olympic medal winners, which included Mathias, skating star Eric Heiden and gymnasit Cathy Rigby, among others this year.
Woodard won't have much time to think about her newest award though. Next Tuesday, she will go to Florida to compete in the Superstars competition, an annual gathering of the world's top athletes. Woodard said she really hadn't expected the bid to compete in the Superstars.
"We've sent biographies in the last two years and did the same thing this year but I wasn't expecting anything." Woodard said. "I'm really thankful that this year I was picked to compete. This was a blessing. I'm not in competition in basketball, so I have some free time.
"YOU JUST have to keep the faith. A lot of time things don't happen when you want them to, but you just have to keep the faith."
Woodard will compete in the 60-yard dash, the 440-yard run, the obstacle course, the bicycle race, rowing and bowling. She said that she was unsure of her seventh and final event.
"This has been a learning experience," Woodard said. "I've learned to train in other areas and it has helped me improve my athlete and eventually a better player."
Any money she may win in the competition will go directly to the AAU, so that her amateur status will not be jeopardized.
"You have to do a lot more running to keep your wind up," Woodward said. "I've been blessed with talent so I need to work on my conditioning."
KU women beat OU,81-79,in action-packed finish
Woodward is currently working toward a spot on the 1984 U.S. Olympic team.
But as she awaits the Olympics, the awards just keep rolling in.

This game didn't quite make it into overtime, but for the Kansas Jayhawks it was close enough.
The KU women, who won in three overtimes their last outing, survived a last-second layup attempt that rolled off the rim at the buzzer, to edge the Oklahoma Sooners 81-79 before 500 people in Allen Field House last night.
The victory gave the Jayhawks. 6-12
overall and 4-8 in conference play, their first two-game winning streak of the season, and moved them ahead of the Eighters into third place in the Big Eight.
And for the second game in a row, the Javahays didn't make it easy.

The game see-sawed from that point on, with Kansas taking three and five lead leads, and Oklahoma getting a point lead of their own in between.
Kansas then began its fight back, hitting six straight free throws and
After a time out, Oklahoma took control of the ball, but then lost it on a deflected pass. KU's Valley Quarles scoped it up and was immediately thrown down to second of two fouls, giving Kansas 81-79 lead with four seconds remaining.
