Page 10 University Daily Kansan, March 1, 1982 Sports Open tourney tomorrow Jayhawks rally fails By RON HAGGSTROM Sports Editor Although the Kansas Jayhawks' game Saturday may have seemed meaningless to some, it wasn't to others. "THESE WERE the best four years of my basketball life. Malley said, "I have nothing wrong with that team." In the Jayhawks' 63-41 defeat at the hands of Iowa State before only 5,000 fans in Allen Field House, senior co-captains Tony Guy and David Meyers were among the top Touwens was coaching his 900 game. out our methods: "The fans and people in Lawrence have been really good to me. It's very disappointing to go out like that (on a loss note)." "There were quite a few mixed emotions," Guy said. "It was mine and David's last game and Coach Owens' 50th game. "We wanted it bad." We wanted it bad. Maybe the Jayhawks wanted it too bad. After the Yahawks跌去 to Kansas State at home, center Kelly Knight said, "We're always up before the game, but we’re always flat at the beginning of the game." And once again, the beginning of the game proved to be the difference in the Jayhawks fourth straight loss. With the loss, the Jayhawks lost in a first half against the Big Eight Conference and 13-13 overall. When Iowa State guard Malvin Warrick hit a jumper from the side of the lane with 7 minutes gone in the game to put the Cyclones up 12-7, the Javahaws had to play catch up basketball. "If Iowa State gets an early lead, with their quickness they can cause anyone a lot of trouble." "I THOUGHT all the emotions were just right," Owens said. "It was Tony and David's last game. But then we shoot 28 percent, and there is nothing to generate any enthusiasm. Although the Jayhawk hit only 28 percent of their shots in the first half, Iowa State could manage only a five-point lead at intermission 29-24, while hitting 54 percent of their shots. The second half was much of the same story until just under five minutes remained in the With the Cyclones holding its biggest lead of the game, 54-48, the Jayhawks tried to pull off a comeback. PURING THE NEXT 3% minutes, the judges outside you will be 10-2 to close the door to your 1-18 left. However, clutch free throw shooting by Iowa State down the stretch proved to be the difference. In the last 38 seconds, Iowa State continued their free throw attempt to preserve the victory. "The turning point came at the end when we put them at the free throw line with the pressure on and they had some players come through," Owens said. "Iowa State played very well." "We simply made the free throws down the stretch," Iowa State Coach Johnny Orr said. "Very few teams get to beat KU twice in one year. "I can't take anything away from KU. They Iowa STATE, who shot 56 percent from the field for the game, had four players in double figures. The Cyclones were paced by Ron Harris' 16 points, while Robert Estes, Warrick (two Kansas City area products) and Barry Stevens scored 15, 13 and 12 points respectively. really held on well down the stretch. They made some key baskets. We just made the free throws." "I'm very proud of our players," said Orr, who won his first Big Eight Conference game on the road since taking over at Iowa State two years ago. "All of them are the same type of players. "I really think the hardest part of getting my team to win is getting the boys to think they can The Jayhawks were paced by their two seniors, as they have been throughout the season. Magley played with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocked shots while Guy scored 16 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and dished out 4 assists. "I MIGHT have been pushing too much" "and only way to go out is by giving it your best shot." "I think I gave it my best shot." Magley even managed to accomplish a first for himself in the game. "That's never happened to me before!" Magley said. "I was trying to tip it to myself." With 17:38 left in the first half Iowa State' Ron Woods had a basket that Magley tapered into the Cyclones basket. The Jayhawks will have another first happen to them tomorrow night when they travel to Manhattan to face the Kansas State Wildcats in the first round of the Post-Season Tournament. In the Post-Season Tournament's five year existence, the Jayhawks have never opened on the road and only two road teams in 20 games have come away victorious. "Manhattan is a tough place to play," Owens said. "But, it's also one of the greatest opportunities you can have to play there. A lot will depend on how our players look at this op- So far this season the Jayhawks have dropped both games against the Wildcats. The Jayhawks are one of the top teams in the league.

SWMUs 4-2, and Stephens in College of Columbia, Mo., 3-1, to win the tournament. The Kansas Jayhawks women's tennis team moved its record to 3-1 by capturing the Southwest Missouri State Invitational this past weekend, the first indoor match of the season for the Jayhawks. "The girls really played super," Head Coach Kathy Merrion said. "Most of the matches weren't even close, and the matches we lost were mainly due to lack of concentration on our part. "Our doubles teams were fantastic," she said. "We knew from the outset that we were going to be strong and have a lot of depth in doubles play, and we reconfirmed that by our play this weekend." Finishing the tournament with undefeated records in singles play were freshman Laura Runnels, who played in the No. 2 position, and No. 4 player, senior Corey Nason. In other single results, freshman Stefanie Dicke who played in the No. 3 position, 24, while senior Emily Green, No. 1 position, 21, Both doubles teams, Guilfoll and sophomore Marn jensen, and Nason and Rumelis, also were doubles winners.

Tyke Peacock gets into a police car for his escort to the Lawrence Municipal Airport. Peacock, who scored 6 points in 20 minutes during the Jayhawk's loss to Iowa State, won the High Eight indoor title in the high jump only 45 minutes after the KU-ISU game ended. Men take title; women fourth Sports Writer By DAVE McQUEEN Sports Writer After playing 20 minutes and scoring six points in KU's 83-61 loss to Iowa State, Peckill, still wearing his basketball uniform, was whisked off the court to a waiting jet plane at the Lawrence airport. For Tyke Peacock, Saturday was a busy day. Just a little more than an hour later, Peacock was at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Neb. where he high-jumped 7-3 to set a Big Eight record and lead the KU men's track team to their third straight conference indoor title. When Peaceck arrived at the meet, the high jump competition was already in progress with the bar set at 6-11. After claring that mark, he had trouble, missing 7-14½ twice, before clearing it on his final attempt. He cleared 7-34½ on his second try, eliminating Oklahoma of 5-29. He then tried to go 7-34½, his personal indoor best, but quit after missening on his second try. THE JAYHAWKS scored 94 points to win the meet. Iowa State was second with 80. Despite the well-planned itinerary, Peacock was almost not allowed to compete in the meet. The Big Eight coaches met mid Saturday and voted to prohibit Peacock from jumping, if he didn't arrive at the meet before the competition started. The coaches later reversed their decision after the NCAA ruled that Peacock could turn if he showed up late. ACCOUNTING TO KU track coach Bob Timmons, they gave his team some added incentive. "The thing with Peacecok is that it was such an inspiration to our guys, even at the end," Tim Mummery said. Peacock wasn't the only Jayhawk to do well. Ten athletes had personal bests, including spinner Rodney Bollup, who won the 600-yard dash in 1:09.30, the fastest 600-run in the country this year. Also placing first in the meet was Greg Johnson, who won the triple jump with a 51-8 effort. Not only was it Johnson's personal best, but it qualified him for the NCAA indoor meet. "I'd hate to single out any one person because it was a beck of a team effort," said Timmons, who won his 12th conference indoor meet in 17 years of coaching at KU. "IVE BEEN coaching track a lot of years and nothing can match this one." Other Jayhawks who placed high in the meet were Warren Wilhoite, third in the long jump, John Sease, second in the 60-yard high hurdles, Kevin Graham, third in the triple jump, Bob Luder, fourth in the run run, Jeff Buckingham, fifth in the dive, fourth in the 2-mile run. Also, the distance relay team of Mark Killen, Wilhoote, Time Gundy and Greg Liebert placed best. The women, in their last indoor meet of the season, took fourth, scoring 60 points. Nebraska overwhelmed the rest of the field, out-scoring second place Oklahoma, 159-96. Highlighting the meet for the women was the mile-relay team of Donna SMITherman, Nancy McCullough, Tudie McKnight and Lorna Tucker, who ran a 3:48.55 to capture first place. McKnight took second in the long jump, taking 19-11-11 and McCullough took third in the 300-yard dash. The 880-reley team of Spearmon, SMITherman, McCullough and Tucker placed second.
