Sports Page 12 University Daily Kansan, February 10, 1982 'Hawks lose tough one By RON HAGGSTROM Sports Editor The Kansas-Missouri game last night was an instant replay of a game held less that three weeks ago. Once the Tigers got the lead in the second half, they went into a stall, holding for a foul. The ball went into the net on 000 seconds. In the two teams' last meeting in Columbia, Missouri did the same thing and beat the other team. JUST LIKE the last encounter, the Tigers were led by senior forward Ricky Frazier. Frazier, who was celebrating his 36th birthday, scored two and 10 of Missouri's 12 points in half ball. Frazer, despite being sick for the last 10 days, hit all eight of his shots from the floor and all four from the free throw line. His two free throws to the basket in Missouri up 42-8, a聘 KU could not overcome. "Our only real problem defensively was stopping Ricky Frazier," Kansas Coach Ted Owens said. "We had some problems covering the net, and Ricky was able to take advantage of it." With 12:27 remaining in the game and Missouri leading 3834, he took a time out. After a timeout, he went to work on it. "BASICALLY, the is to keep them away from the basket (referring to KU's defense)." Missouri Coach Norm Stewart said about the stall. "We wanted to keep them away from the basket so that we'd have a little more opportunity to get it to the basket." *When they KU) stood packed in there 15 feet from the hole, we we're not going to get the good knob.* The reason the Jayhawks stayed packed into their zone early in the second half was that co-captain Tony Guy and center Brian Martin had each picked up four fouls. "With Brian Martin and Tony Guy in four trouble, I was not unhappy with Missouri's stall." WITH 12:03 LEFT in the game, Martin's team scored against Gaye, and it closed the gap from Guye and him, closing the gap to 7:58. Frazier's 12-foot jumper put Missouri up by four. Jeff Dishman, who finished with 10 points, tipped in a missed shot by Tad Boyle to cut the lead back to two. David Magley, who had 7 points and 2 rebounds, put the Jayhawks within two, 42-40. Magley, after blocking Marvin McCrary's free throws with 3-27 left by hitting one of two free throws with 3-27 left. Although there was no more scoring in the game, it didn't action gave Martin a steal with 1:12 left gave KU a chance to take the lead. HOWEVER, Magley misfired on a jumper with 50 seconds left on the clock. When Missouri missed three free throws within 10 seconds the Jayhawks had one last shot. The Jayhawks chance went awry when, with seven seconds left, the ball was slapped out of Mark Summers' hands and a mad Steve Siliconowicz came up with the ball. The last play was designed to go to Guy. "It's tough to lose two games such as we have to Missouri." Guy said. offers the following Missouri forward Ricky Frazier dribbles around Kansas guard Lance Hill as KU's DJ Dishman looks on. The Tigers down the jayhawks, 42-41.

In the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, Coach Gary Kempf had switched members of the 'A' and 'B' relay teams and both fell behind. Sports Writer Tammy Thomas, swimming the last leg for the 'A' team, began to make a move on the others. In four lengths of the pool, she had made up a large cap and finished fourth. "That was a hell of a swim," Kemp said. THE FIRST PERSON of a reay team has the task of getting the team into first place, into another team. But Thomas likes to swim last, the position with the most pressure of winning or losing the game. He usually does it with a side step. "I perform well under pressure," she said, shrugging her shoulders. In her best event, the 50-yard freestyle, Thomas swims in the wake of another swimmer, Jill Sterkel, who attends the University of Texas. Both are 2; both are juniors. Sterkel, until January, had not been beaten in either the 50-meter or 50-yard freestyle. East Germany's Caren Metschuck beat Sterkel in an international meet. "To swain against her is an honor," she said. "When I swain against her I get intimidated and I wake up." When Thomas swam against Sterkel in Austin this year, Thomas didn't look at her before the rain. "I KNEW I IF I looked over at her I would be intimidated by her," she said. "I swarm to close but her I thought she was further ahead of me. When I looked up at the results, I couldn't believe An athlete's fame is fleeting, and a swimmer's even more so. Thomas is well aware of this. Rec B J-Fry 42, Pickers 8 The Maxed Duelers 40, The Cap 36 Lancers 2.

"But out you're never never." You say. Your team's everyone. You're four years away. At 6 foot 1, Thomas stands out among swimmers. She said her height had never bothered her and at times it had been an advantage when the other swimmers had to look up at her on the "It kind of scares me. I've only got one more year, it's been part of me for so long." After next year Thomas will go to school at the University of Kansas Medical Center where she Last week the NCAA released the best times recorded in meets this year. Thomas was tied for second with a time of 23.4 in the 50-yard freestyle, and was picked first. Thomas finds time to believe "THAT REALLY surprised me," she said. "I thought. Oh, they must have made a mistake." our minds. But I have a lot of confidence," she said. "I'm pretty hard on myself. I get disappointed with my performances. A lot of times I have to keep my goals in sight." At one point last year Thomas was ranked seventh. She said part of the reason she had trouble believing her success was her attitude toward herself. Thomas sets her goals in terms of times rather than places. "I don't like to set place goals," she said. "That's a way of limiting yourself. Only at meets like the Big Eight, where places are in important for your own sense of what to think about it. And I always look at the times." "EVER IF I would break 50 in the 100 'I'd probably be hard on myself." Thomas said. even then I took a picture of Thomas. Thomas said her goal was to break 50 seconds in the 100 freestyle, something few swimmers have accomplished. Kempt said Thomas has not gained the attention she may deserve because only top officers have been charged. "We're not in what people consider the prime swimming area," he said. "Tummy really hasn't felt that tight." This year, Thomas will get chance when she swims the 50 freestyle in the NCAA, along with other events. She has a good chance to win the 50 freestyle. Sterkel and the Texas team will This is the first year the NCAA is offering championships in women's sports but not all schools such as Texas will participate in the AIAW championships. "Tammy has a lot of talent. She wants to swim well. Swimming is very competitive and you have to look at people better than you like she looks at Sterkel." WHEN THE IDEA of winning the NCAA is brought up, Thomas brews in with a smile. "I've thought about it," she said. "It." something I wish for. I don't know if I believe it for a couple of days. It would have to sink in." But she has mixed feelings about not competing against Sterkel to win the championships. "It would make me feel good to swim against her, but to win would also make me feel good." Thomas will probably face Sterkel twice next year—once in a dual meet, and a few days later in an individual match. Although Thomas has watched Sterkel and her race times throughout the season, Thomas said she did not know her opponent personally. "I don't know if she knows who I am," Thomas said. "I've said hi' to her and smiled at her, but I've never talked to her. I don't know if I'm ready to New tied for second in the nation, Thomas has but one more year to make her mark. She approaches it cautiously, not sure if she's ready for it or deserves it. She looks at the wake ahead of her, and wonders if she can catch up and move ahead into the house. KU swimmer Tammy Thomas adjusts her cap before last Saturday's meet against Arkansas. Thomas is tied for second in the nation in the 50-yard freestyle.
