Tisdale shines in OU win
By GINO STRIPPOLI
Sports Writer
NORMAN, Okla. — Wayman Tisdale is just a freshman, but if his debut performance in the Big Eight Conference is any indication, he may give Oklahoma three more years of great basketball.
Tisdale, arguably the best player in the Big Eight and one of the best in the nation, scored 20 first-half points and finished the game with 30 to lead the 14-3 Sooners to a 95-72 victory over the Big Eight Jaushayks, 8-6, in the Big Eight game for both hands before a crowd of 10.610 fans at Lloyd Noble Center last night.
Tisdale was just too much for the Javhawks.
Tisdale, a 6-9 forward who went into the game as the second-leading scorer in the nation, was 9-for-21 from the field in the first half. His 21 shots were just seven short of the Kansas team total for the first half.
"OUR PLAN worked about the first six minutes — and that's it," said Kansas head coach Ted Owens.
"I tidale is a fine player and he's not easy to shut down. We did our best, but it wasn't enough."
KU center Kelly Knight said, "He's a great player, and if he stays around he'll be a lot better the next two or three years.
"He is a lot stronger than Keith Lee (of Memphis State) and he's a better all-around player. Oklahoma can give Alabama State (No. 3) a run for their money."
Tisdale was not alone, though. David Little, the second-leading scorer in the
Big Eight last year, was 5-for-9 from the field in the first half to hit for 10 points. No other Sooner scored more than two points in the opening half.
FOR THE JAYHAWKS, junior Carl Henry, who missed his first four shots from the field, finished the first half 5-for-10 for a team high of 10 points. Freshman Calvin Thompson, starting his second game as a starter, scored 21 points and senior Jeff Dishman was 2-for-2 off the bench for four points.
The biggest factor in the first half for the Jayhawks was a shoulder injury to Knight, the Jayhawk's third-leading scorer, who went 0-for-3 in the first half. He did manage five first-half rebounds, but that was all. He played just four minutes in the second half and scored one point.
The second half was not much better for the Jayhawks, but this time it wasn't Tisdale. It was Little, who killed the Jayhawks last year at Norman with 29 points. He didn't score 29 points this time, but he wasn't far from it.
Little hit 6-for-8 from the field and 3-for-4 from the line to lead the Sooners to their second-half rout against the Javhawks.
THE CLOSEST the Jayhawks could get was five points in the second half, 42-37, but then Tisdale, along with Chucky Barnett, who apparently recovered from his early season ankle injury, put it out of reach. The Sooners scored seven straight points and were one step ahead of the Cardinals, reached its highest point with the final score, a 23-point defeat — the worst this year for the Jayhawks.
that we try not to. "Owens said, 'We did overall, but Oklahoma is a fine team.'"
'We made a lot of critical mistakes
Besides Tisdale's 30 points and Little's 27, Charles "Big Time" Jones scored 14, and Barnett and Jann Pannell, who did not score in the first half, each had 10. Pannell and Bo Overton each had seven assists for the Sooners and Tisdale led all rebounds with 10 boards.
"IT WAS A Good, tough, hard, physical game." Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said. "KU bangs you around. It was a good game against a good team."
"Big Time" had the best game of his career and Chucky did a fine job.
For the Jayhawks, Henry led all scorers with 20 points. He was followed by Thompson with 14, 7-for-11 from the field; Boagni with 12; and Dishman with 10, 4-for-5 from the field. Sophomore Tad Boyle and junior Lance Hull each had five assists for the Jayhawks couldn't overcome 22 turnovers caused by the Oklahoma defense. Henry also led the Jayhawks in rebounding with six.
As a team, the Sooners shot 50.6 percent from the field, 64.7 in the second half, compared to 47.6 for the Jayhawks. The Sooners also outrebounded Kansas, 37.35. Oklahoma nine turnovers compared to KU's 23.
The task for the Jayhawks doesn't get any better. They hit the road again on Saturday to play the 19th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, who were drilled by the Missouri Tigers 83-62 in Stillwater, Okla. The Jayhawks then return home Jan. 26 to take on Missouri.
Mizzou rips Cowboys in Big 8 opener
By United Press International
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Steve Stipanovich scored a career-high 32 points to give No. 11 Missouri an 84-63 victory over No. 19 Oklahoma State University last night in the Big Ten conference office for both schools.
Jon Sundevold added 12 points and Greg Cavender put in 10 as Missouri improved its record to 13-2 with its fourth straight victory. It was also the ninth straight time the Tigers have beaten OSU since 1979.
OSU, behind Raymond Crenshaw's 9 points, pulled to 29-23 and 7-08 remaining in the half. But Sipanovich scored five points and Crenshaw added a win over 13 consecutive points over the next five minutes for a 42-23 advantage.
Stanipovich scored 13 points and Sundvald 10, and Missouri hit 59 percent of its shots for a 42-27 intermission lead. Stanipovich scored the first seven points of the second half to give the Tigers a 49-27 lead, and OSU could never draw closer than 18 thereafter.
Cresnhaw scored 19 and Lorenza Andrews 16 for the Cowboys, whose seven-game winning streak came to an end. OSU, ranked by UPI this week for the first time in 18 years, dropped to 12-3.
Late foul problems plague KU in loss

NORMAN, Okla. — KU women's basketball team got into foul trouble late as they dropped their second straight Big Eight basketball game last night, falling to the Oklahoma Sooners, 83-74.
With 6:36 left in the second half, Philicia Allen drew her fifth foul on an offensive foul call. Exactly one minute later, Barbara Adkins followed Allen to the bench on another offensive foul call. After that, Oklahoma went inside to All-America candidate Molly McGuire and Jacquetta Hurley.
Coach Marian Washington said, "There is definitely a home court advantage in women's basketball. Our team has been able to this and try to block the offending out."
"The kids cannot afford to let up. They played as hard as they could in the first half. They just have to accept playing on the road."
in the first half, Oklahoma jumped out to a 9-3 lead. However, KU roared back to take the lead, 12-11, on a 15-foot jumpshot by Tina Stauffer. The Jayhawks increased their lead to five, and then scored in Oklahoma then regained the lead at 26-24 on a layup by McCurdy. The Sooners took a 40-34 lead in at halftime.
Oklahoma continued to lead during the second half until the 11:54 mark, when Vickie Adkins puts KU ahead 55-53 with a layup. Cindy Platt hit a 10-foot jumpshot which put KU ahead by three points, but the Sooners took the lead for good at 6:41 with a layup by Hurley. Hurley than scored the next three shots to put the game out of reach for the Jayhawks.
Washington said, "It sure helped when Philissa and Vickie were able to take care of their children."
Vickie Adkins led the Jayhawks with 19 points. Angie Snider added 11 points and eight rebounds. Barbara Adkins had ten points each before fouling out.

Water sports get swimmers into shape at KU's pools
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the second of seven stories highlighting sports that students can participate in at no cost at University buildings and equipment operated in part through the student activity fee. These seven sports were chosen because they can be participated in throughout the year at times that can be adapted to most student, faculty and staff schedules.

Louis XI did it in the Seine, Esther Williams did it in the movies, Florence Chadwick did it in the English Channel and Mark Spitz did it in the Olympics — it's swimming.
swimming brings to mind memories of childhood summers spent splashing in the neighborhood pool, but the adult version, in the form of lap swimming or water sports, has been recognized as an essential medical exercises for the human body.
"A person who swims builds up endurance in a 4-1 ratio," said Bernie Taylor, pool supervisor and swimming instructor at Robinson Center. "A person who swims one mile gets the same number of people who runs four miles outside."
LIKE HUNDREDS of physicians and thousands of dedicated swimmers, Taylor is convinced that swimming is the greatest force for development of the entire body.
Taylor, who has been on the KU physical education staff since 1968, is in charge of seeing that the two pools at the Robinson Natatorium are used for learning in a recreational and competitive environment.
"Swimming is a tremendous cardiovascular exercise," he said. "When it's all said and done, it good we go to the weight room, and it's good we do this and that. But what about our circulatory system? That's the bottom
He said that although the Natatorium
was one of the best in this area and free to all KU students and faculty, a relatively few people take advantage of it.
"Many have taken advantage of the pools, but with a population of 24,000 students, certainly more could," he said.
"OFTEN IN THE spring, for example, someone will come down for the first time, and will come walking into the pool area with a swimsuit on. We might be working on the pool or maybe even be in a class, and we'd ask them if they need any help. They'd say 'Well, I just want to go swimming.' "
Taylor said swimmers many times were not familiar with the operation of diving.
"it really is a shame that more people
don't use it, because it is such a nice
facet."
The Natatorium has two pools. The "old" pool, which is 25 yards by 50 feet, is a competition pool with one- and three-meter diving boards. The other one is 25 meters by 60 feet and is used for swimming. Both pools can be roped off for lap swimming, and are easily accessible.
THE POOLS open at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for open swimming and aerobic classes. Regular swimming classes are from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The faculty swim, open only to KU faculty and staff members, is from 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. on weekdays. The varsity swim team then uses both pools until about 5:30 p.m.
THE FAMILY PLAN memberships
On weeknights from 5:30 to 10, and Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 10 p.m., the regular recreational swim is held. The pool is available only to faculty and students during these times, and to their immediate families if a family plan membership is required. A student identification card is needed to enter Robinson. There is no charge to students for use of the pool.
are open to married students and faculty, and cost $5 a year for student families and $15 for staff and faculty families.
Lockers are available after 5 p.m. and towels can be borrowed at no charge. People can use their own locks on the lockers, or they may be removed upon leaving Robinson.
Trained lifeguards with water safety instruction certificates are on duty at all times and at each pool during operating hours.
K. C. Heylin, Manhattan graduate student who is earning his master's degree in sports medicine, has become a regular participant at the Robinson pool.
He is an avid runner and also lifts weights and plays raquettball, but when a recent tendon injury in his knee has caused him to running, he started swimming regularly.
"I've been coming to the pool four or five times a week since I injured my knee," he said. "It really augments my running. Swimming is really great for your cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular system."
A COMPETITIVE swimmer for 19 years, Heylin generally swims a mile each night at the pool, a ritual that takes him about 25 minutes.
"There's no question about it," he said. "It's the best overall exercise for
Heylin he said he generally swamp laps, but occasionally mixed sprouts in with cakes.
Another avid swimmer, staff member Frank Bartell, takes advantage once or twice a week of the afternoon swim and benefits from it, he said.
Heylin said he would continue to swim after he fully recovered from his injury.
"I like swimming because it strengthens my arms and legs," Bartell said. "I feel better overall when I was finished. I come over the noon hour because it's convenient, and it really makes me feel better in the afternoon."
Taylor said that beginning swimmers should start slow, and work their way into the sport.
"SOMEONE JUST starting out should baby into it," he said. "Swim one length, then take a break, and swim another. Start increasing your lengths when you're able to. The key is to swim 'in intervals.'"
If swimming laps bores the swimmer, Robinson Center offers another solution.
Recreational water polo and water basketball leagues will be starting up soon, with an organizational meeting at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 24. Also, an intramural swim meet will begin Feb. 7, with final Feb. 9. Deadline for entry is Feb. 4.
The Lawrence Parks and Recreation has open swimming 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at the Lawrence High School pool. The office sponsors swimming classes from 8 to 19 o'clock Monday and Thursday evenings, and senior citizen swims from 1 to 20 o'clock Saturday afternoons. The municipal outdoor pool opens Memorial Day and closes Labor Day.

Katie Stork, Topeka graduate student, teaches swimming to early risers in the Sunrise Fitness Program in Robinson Gymnasium. The 6:15 to 8:00 a.m. open swim is only one of the times throughout the day that the two pools in Robinson are open for students, faculty and staff to swim, dive, or play water sports.
