Cowboys set pace in 85-74 defeat over KU
By GINO STRIPPOLL
Sports Writer
That's exactly what the Jayhawks did on Saturday, but they still felt to the 19th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, 85-74, in front of a record of 60 at Cottonwood.
STILL.WATER, Okla. — When a team goes on the road in the Big Eight and shoots more than 50 percent and re-bounds its opponent by 13, the team usually will come away with a win.
At the last second, KU's Brian Martin, had his layup shot intercepted by Oklahoma State's Leroy Combs. Bill Self, Matt Clark, and Raymond Crenshaw of the Cowboys watch their teammate in action.
The game was not as close as the score indicated.
The Jayhawks, aided by OSU's six straight misses at the foul line to open the game, jumped to an early 18-11 lead. The Jayhawks were led in this stretch by junior Carl Henry, who had 10 points on four of four shooting from the field and two of two from the line.
But the Jayhawks just couldn't stay with the much quicker Cowbows. OSU narrowed the gap and took the lead for good, 23-22, on a Leroy Combs layup with 10-21 left in the opening half. The lead ballooned to 15 twice, 45-30 and 47-32, and the Jayhawks trailed 48-36 at the half.
THE COWBOYS, who shot a remarkable 73 percent in the first half, were led by Combs' 15 points. He was aided by Lorenza Andrews, with 14 points, and Raymond Crenshaw added 10. The Cowboys played only one substitute in the third half and that was for less than one minute.
Kansas' starters shot as well from the field as OSU's did, 73.6 percent, but the KU bench shot only 3 of 11. Henry led the way for the 'Hawks, shooting five of six from the field for 12 points. Freshman Calvin Thompson, four of five from the field, added eight points, and Kelly Knight hit on three of four shots for six points. As a team, Oklahoma led by 40.8 percent, but the Cowboys shot 16 more free throws than Kansas did and connected on eight more.
"We lost our aggressiveness on offense, but the most unhappy thing was the way we let them drive. We were reaching on defense and not playing with our bodies.
"OUR LOSING control of the game was an accumulation of a lot of things." Coach Ted Owens said. "They broke our defense down and pressured us out of our offense at times.
"When we got behind and they went to their spread (with six minutes left), they made us play their game. They were much quicker than us."
The Cowboys put the finishing touches on the contest at the very outset of the second half, when they were led by the quarterback.
lead. The Jayhawks made a small run with Henry scoring six of the next eight points in the game, but it wasn't enough.
THE LEAD grew to 20 points, 66-46, with 12:02 left in the game, and then the Jayhawks, now 8-7 on the year and 0-3 in the conference, went to a 5-0 loss. That narrowed the gap to the final score of 85-74.
The members of the line-up, which consisted of Henry, Ron Kellogg, Kerry Boagn, Jeff Guiot and either Brian Martin, Jeff Dishman or another team, dressed in hoodies with the effort they gave down the stretch.
"We can build on effort," Owens said. "The six or seven guys that played for us in the second half gave us great effort.
"We had to go with a quicker line when they pulled us out of the zone and then we made some mistakes."
FOR THE JAYHAWKS, Henry, who scored 20 points against Oklahoma on Wednesday, finished the game with 20 points and a game-high nine rebounds. Thompson added 12 points and Boagni came off the bench to score 15 points and collect eight rebounds.
Guiot, who did not play in the first half, played the final 17 minutes of the game and scored seven points. He turned the ball over only two times while running the Kapsas offense.
"We just lost our intensity." Boagni said. "We have to learn to keep our intensity for an entire season."
Clark said, "The key to the game was getting ahead. This place is very intimidating and our team is doing great."
"We gave a lot of extra effort on defense and Matt, Lorenza and Lorenoy had great games," OSU coach Paul Hainsen said. "You have to have patience on offense and defense and with a young team like Kansas, it's tough. We were able to put them up." We're 're'a young team and they'll be good in time."
THE COWBOYS, now 13-2 for the season, were led by Matt Clark's 21 points. Clark, who has been a thorn in the Jayhawks' side since he went to Iowa, has recorded 47 points. He also had nine assists to lead the Cowboys.
The Jayhawks now continue their tortuous opening Bight eight schedule, facing the Missouri
Besides Clark, the four other members of the OSU starting five hit for double figures. Combs had 18 points, Andrews, 17 points, Crenshaw had 16 points and a team-high eight rebounds, and Bill Self added 12 points. The OSU bench scored a total of one point.
Tigers at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Allen Field House. They then go on the road on Sunday to face the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan.
"I felt it would take a little time for us to come around, but I didn't realize it would take this long." said Thompson, who has been one of the most consistent Jayhawks over the past three games. "We just have to go back and work on our fundamentals."
Kansas State (10-5) romped over Iowa State (8-7), 81-15, to move into a first place tie with Missouri. The Wildcats won their sixth straight game to bring their record to 11-5.
(14-3) downed Oklahoma (14-4) on Saturday, 48-41, but fell to Marquette on Sunday, 60-59 in overtime.

Miami, 'Skins to slug it out in Super Bowl
By United Press International
MIAMI — Miami's "Killer Bee" defense, sparked by three interceptions by linebacker A.J. Duhe,送 the Dolphins to their four Super Bowl by upending the New York Jets
The Dolphins, 2-1 in previous Super Bowl, will face the NFC champion Washington Redskins next Sunday in Super Bowl XVII at Pasadena, Calif. The teams last met in a playoff game in agosto, with Miami completing the only perfect season in NFL history by winning 14-7.
THE DOLPHINS' league-leading defense, which got its nickname because of the six starters whose last names begin with the letter "B." intercepted Jets quarterback Richard Todd five times and held him to just 15 completions in 37 attempts for 103 yards. Wesley Walker, who had been a thorn in Miami's side for the past five years, was held without a reception until the final minutes, when he caught a pass for a 1-yard loss. Freeman McNeil, the NFL's leading rusher, managed only 46 yards in 17 carries.
The victory boosted Miami's record to 10-2 while New York finished at 8-4. Three of the Jets' losses were against Miami. It was the first time an NFL club had defeated another club three times in a season since Green Bay stopped Baltimore three times in 1965.
WASHINGTON, which earned its first Super Bowl berth in a decade by avenging their only loss of the season, parlayed two touchdown runs by record-setting fullback John Riggins and two fourth-quarter interceptions off reserve Dallas quarterback Gary Hogeboom into a 31-17 triumph over the Cowboys.
The victories were worth $18,000 to players from both teams. Now the players have a shot at the $36,000 winner's share in the Super Bowl next week.
The Dolphins earned their AFC title shot by beating New England 28-13 and San Diego 34-13 in the playoffs. The Jets, playing their sixth consecutive road game, qualified with a 44-17 victory over Cincinnati and a 17-14 upset of the Los Angeles Raiders.

When the KU women's basketball team traveled to Stillwater, Okla., to face the Oklahoma State Cowgirls Saturday, they knew they desperately needed a good shoot night, a strong showing on the boards and an important conference victory on the road.
Kansas swimmers pull by competition for victory
They got all that and more.
They also got a career high 25 points and 14 rebounds from 6-6 center Philiaen and double-digit scoring from three other players as KU dominated the Cowgirls from the opening tipoff to the final buzzer on the way to a 75-62 victory at Gallagher Hall.
ALTHOUGH KU coach Marian Washington said she was happy with Allen's performance and the team's season-high 57 percent shooting, he added, "I'm confident our young team kills its poise throughout the game."
The second half was the only time that OSU, 3-10, was in the game. The Hawks jawmoted the first half, shooting a blistering 70 percent, while opening a 47-28 halftime lead.
"Philicia Allen is really coming along although she is capable of doing many things," Washington said. "Her rebounding permitted us to run much more than we had been.
"The kids showed a lot of poise." Washington said. "They made a run at us in the second half and it took us a few minutes to regain our poise. The crowd started to get bigger and they could see that we were making a comeback. But you have to put off that additional pressure as much as possible."
"Mary Myers did a super job running the ball club." Washington said. "Down the stretch, she worked very hard and did what I asked her to do." Myers team started to respond to her leadership.
"The kids played some really good basketball. We took good shots. It was obviously our best game in terms of shooting percentage. I was also please when we played on the boards. They did a lot more size in it."
WASHINGTON credited 5-6 point guard Mary Myers for helping the Jayhawks maintain their poise late in the game. Myers had a good scoring night, hitting six of seven shots for 12 points.
KU lost some of that momentum in the second half, and the Cowgirls closed to within eight late in the game. But the Jayhawks, 4-11, didn't fold, and OSU never added closer.
Washington also was pleased with the progress of Allen, who played only her fourth game since she became eligible this month. Allen hit 10 of 21 field goals and five of six free throws. Her domination of the boards helped KU outrebound ONSI 47-32
FOR THE FIRST time this season, KU had more than two players score in double figures. Joining Allen and Myers in double figures were forward Angela Snider with 14 and guard Angela
Although the Jayhawks are 4-11 so far this season, they are still in the conference race with a 2-2 mark.

Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf wasn't that pleased with the times, but he sure was happy with the results.
Kempf's swimmers captured decisive wins in the Kansas Mini-Invitational at Robinson High this weekend; the women beating Iowa State and the men defeating Minnesota, ISU and UO
"I'm pleased with the way most of our athletes competed," Kempf said. "We did some really good things, and we did some really bad things."
We weren't fast, we were a little bit slow, and a little bit tight, but bouncing back after last
THE MEET came on the heels of a stellar performance a week ago in the All-American invitational in Austin, Texas; a meet from which I might think the might have had problems bouncing back.
The team scores showed that his/worry was unwarranted.
In the men's events, Ron Neugent captured four individual victories and Brad Wells and Brad Coenors won two events each to lead the Jayhawks to their first team win of the season. KU scored 848 points in the win, while Minnesota was second with 765. ISU was third at 718, and OU finished fourth with 225 points. In addition to the invitational meet, the KU men swam against ISU in a dual meet Friday morning, which KU lost.
KU won the women's competition with 1,085 points, followed by ISU's 719 and OU's 497. Michael Compton, Celine Cerny and Jenny Hawkins each two individual wins each to lead the Jayhawks.
Chuck Neumann and the 200 medley relay team also posted first place finishers for the men.
medley teams all finished first, as well as individual winners Susan Schafered in the 100-yard butterfly, Tana Bauen in the 200-yard breaststroke, Tammy Pease in the 50-yard freestyle and Kelly Burke in the 400 individual medley.
In the dual meet, ISU scored 63 points to KU's 50.
"It was a solid team effort, but time-wise, it was not all that good." Kemp said.

Meet draws record numbers; Buckingham sets vault mark

Jeff Buckingham broke the Allen Field House record in the pole vault and Jayhawk trackers swept the three place tables in the men's mile and 1,000-yard runs Saturday at the KU All-Comers track and field meet, the largest meet ever to be held in the field house.
The mammoth field of participants at the meet, which included athletes from university, junior college, master and children classifications for men and women, was not expected or planned, said Roger Bowen, KU assistant coach.
Approximately 1,306 athletes competed in the day-long meet, which lasted from 8 a.m. until the completion of the men's long jump around midnight.
"We had been wanting to have an All-Comers meet for a couple of years now, but we didn't expect this many people." Bowen said. "We just happened to have a big meet. I thought the whole meet went off real well, and I thought our entire team competed well."
THE JAYHAWK trio of Tim Gundy, David Cole and Greg Leibert finished first, second and third in the mile. Gundy moved into the lead with
BUCKINGHAM was a standout among the 1,300 competitors, setting a field house record. After clearing his opening height of 17-0 on his first try, Buckingham sailed cleanly over 17-8% on his second attempt, eclipsing his old mark of 17-8 set last month at KU's intrasquad meet. He then had the bar set at 18 feet, but missed all three tries.
In winning his specialty, Buckingham also defeated K-State's Doug Lytle, the defending NCAA indoor champion, for the second straight week. Last weekend, he defeated Lytle at the Rosemont Horizon Games in Chicago, beating him on the basis of fewer misses as both men cleared 17-8%. This time, Lytle missed his first three tries at 17 feet.
"I'M ALWAYS happy with a win," Buckingham said, "but I'm looking for 18 feet so I'm also a little disappointed. I did expect a little more from Lytle today."
VAN SCHAFFER didn't have that problem in the 1,000, as he was pushed to the finish by teammates Todd Ashley and Greg Dallzell to complete another Jayhawk sweep. Schafer won the first two, 10:58, well above his best of 2:10.74. Ashley was second in 2:15.89 with Dallzell a close second in 2:15.89.

Other winners for the Jayhawks were John Sease in the 60-yard high hurdles. Clint Johnson in the shot-plot and Anthony Polk in the 60-yard dash.
Einspahr said he had no excuse for quitting the race. He said he had grown disappointed because no one was close behind him to push him to a fast time.
The other was in the women's open 440 yard dash, who had Lars Torsby with a time of $8.69.
He then by Lorna Tucker with a time of 58.03. Kansas took second in two other events, the 60-yard dash and the mile relay. KU also placed third in the 60-vard high hurdles.
