Sports Page 8 University Daily Kansan, February 8, 1982 Javhawks lose another on the road By RON HAGGSTROM Create Editor Sports Editor A lot of games are decided at the free throw line, and that was the case in the Jayhawks' loss Saturday. The Jayhawks fell to the Oklahoma State Cowboys 79-64 in Stillwater, Okla., before a Oklahoma State hit 21 of 23 free throws in the contest compared to 18 of 30 for the Jayhawks. It doesn't look like much of a difference, but KU's missed free throws came at times when the ball was AT THE HALF the Jayhawks found themselves trailing the Cowboys 37-11. In the first half the Cowboys outgained the Jayhawks by 20. In the early stages of the game co-captain Tony Guey hit on only 3 of 6 from the line. However, it wasn't only Guy who was misfiring from the line. With Oklahoma State leading 25-21, Brian Martin, who started in place of insured Kyle Knight, had the opportunity to close the gap to two but missed both of his free throws. With the score still the same, Tyke Pencock changed his opportunity. Pencock cashied in one of his free throws. One Jayhawk who did't struggle from the line was substitute Mark Summers. Summers' two free throws closed the lead to one, 25-24. Summers went 5 of 6 from the line in the game. THE REST of the half was much of the same for the Jawhaws. Guy hit 1 of 2 from the line to tie the score at 29 and freshman Tad Royle had the opportunity to give KU the lead but missed the front end of a one-on-one. After Boyle's miss, the Cowboys ran off 6 straight points and Jacaws could get no shot. Jarek just scored on the second. “It’s strange,” Oklahoma State Coach Paul Hansen said about shooting free throws. performance than Wednesday night (referring to the game), Owens said. "Brian Martin played very well." "We came back today. Wednesday night against Oklahoma (Oklaoma beat Oklahoma State 75-72) we missed 14 free throws and five one-on-one." him, who probably will be called on to start again Tuesday night against Missouri, scored 7 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Starting center Kelly Knight remains doubtful for the Missouri game.

Mo.—On the whole, the KU women's basketball team had a pretty good time at Kemper Arena Friday night. They shot well from the field, grabbed an early lead that they never relinquished and won their second straight game after losing five in a row. There was only one problem—nobody showed up. Despite the poor turnout, which was generously estimated at 200, the Jayhawks, behind a 29-point effort by center Tracy Clayton, defeated a former National College of Music team, 77-50. ALTHOUGH THE Jayhawks, 14-11, never trailed after racing to a 18-10 lead early in the first half, they could never quite shake off the Lakers, 8-10. After going ahead 41-35 at halftime, KU built up a 39-43 lead early in the second half before the Lakers started to fight their way back onto the floor. Led by the impressive outside shooting of Kunta Kinte, NCE clapped away at the Jayhawkle. With four minutes left to play, Crosby, who hit 11 of 10 from the field and had 23 drowned, a long jump shot to make the score 67-65. Then, after KU guard Angie Snider found Claxton for a wide open baseline lay-up to make the score 69-65. Rose Peeples fouled Laker Myra Warren, who sank two free throws to make the score 69-67 with 2:36 left to play. But that was the closest NCE ever got. Claxton scored on the next KU possession, and the Jayhanks hit several throws in the final minutes to ice the game. Although hardly anyone had ever heard of the teacher's college of 1,400 in Evanston, Ill., KU head coach Marian Washington was not surprised at how well they played. "I HEARD they were a good club," Washington said. "They played close games against Tennessee and Memphis State. I was not surrised." Washington said she was especially pleased with KU's shooting. They shot 50 percent for the first time in two years. One problem KU had, however, was playing man-to-men defense against the Lakers. "We went into man and they went to the line an awful叶," Washington said. "As much as we really stopped them on the man, we just got careless and had to work back to the zone." DESPITE HIS team's lack of depth and ability in the javelins, J. O'Berg was not competised by the Jahwahys. "We were going for the win there," O'Berg said. "I think we're Division I caliber. I don't think our players are getting the exposure they need." Depth has been a constant problem for the Lakers, whose women's basketball program is only in its second year of existence. In a previous game, a 105-92 overtime loss to Western Michigan, NCE only had three players on the floor at the end of the game. All the rest had "Basically, we only work with seven girls," O'Berg said. "Coach Washington was substituting at will—trying to run them down. But they're in good shape—they're primed for this." BUT ONE THING nobody was prepared for was the small crowd. Actually, crowd isn't the word for it. For most of the first half, there were more people on the court than in the stands. hive people of Washington said it had been a long time since she had seen a crowd so small at a basketball game. "It was so quiet," she said. "We didn't get that many fans out." KU forward Chris Stewart said she wasn't surprised by the poor turnout. "I didn't think it was very well advertised." Stewart said. "If I wasn't playing, I wouldn't have played." Although the Jayhawks did have a good game, Stewart thought they would've played better if they hadn't taken the lead. there was no cheering either way," she said. Gathering she had ever played before, agreed. gathering she had ever played before, agreed. "If we had some fans, we would play real well," she said. "I think tonight if we had a lot of fans." As it was, Claxton did play well, making 14 of 17 shots from the field and sinking her only free throw attempt of the game for a 29-point performance. But despite her impressive shooting, Claxton said she wasn't satisfied with the game that "As far as my playing went, not in too apples," I said. "I knew I could've got more than 12 recharges." "Overall, we played good as a team, and that's what counts." KU will have a week off before they go after their third win in a row against Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Allen Field House on Friday. JAYHAWK NOTES: KU center Tracy Claxton is now ranked second nationally in individual rebounding. Her 14.2 rebounds per game average for the week ending Feb. 5th puts her only .08 rebounds away from the nation's leader. Valerie Still of Kentucky.

Women swimmers win; men defeated By MIKE ARDIS Sports Writer The KU men's and women's swim teams split their meet with Arkansas Saturday at Robinson Center, with the women winning 76-35 and the men losing 73-40. SPURRED ON by a large crowd for the Jayhawk Swimming and Diving Alumni Day, the women dominated Arkansas, taking first in all of the swimming events and Carrie Gangel capturing second in both the 1 and 3 meter diving events. "I'm proud of our men," Coach Gary Kempi said. "Arkansas has one of the 15 teams in the nation. We have some glaring weaknesses and these are problems. But our speed was better and will get better. Today was a good sten." "The women's meet didn't mean a lot," Kemp said. "Arkanisas are not yet up to your level." Thomas also improved her time in the 50 freestyle to 23.4, which ties the nation's second best time in that event this year. Thomas also won the 100 freestyle in 22.2 Wagstaff and Cerny also won two events with Wagstaff winning the 200 individual medley and the 200 freestyle. Cerny won the 200 butterfly and backstroke. the Jayawicks' 2002 medley relay team of Celine Cerny, Mary Kay Fitzgerald, Jenny Wagstaff and Tamy Thomas qualified for nationals with a time of 1:48.7. "It was a good crowd." Cerry said. "You really don't notice it in the water, but you get it out quickly." IN THE MEN'S meet, Ron Nuegent won two close races in the 1,000 and 500 freestyle. Brad Wells and Ken Grey had the other Jayhawk victories with Grey winning the 200 individual medley in 1:57 2 and Wells the 200 backstroke in 1:54.5. "Towards the end of the race the noise pick up and you notice the crowd." Neugent said. "It pumps you up. I knew Arkansas had a good distance swim and I would be pushed." Kempf said that he was pleased with the men's effort despite the score. "Naturally we would have liked to come closer, but we're looking at the positive things. We're not a good dual meet team. We've got good depth and depth isn't important in dual meets. The men have a tough next two weeks, facing defending Big Eight champ Nebraska and the Cardinals. THIS WAS the last dual meet of the season for the women, who finished the year with one dual loss, to SMU in January. Their next meet will be the Big Eight Championships, Feb. 25-37. “It’s one of the toughest schedules around.” Kempt said. “Both are top 20 teams. If we were to play, they would go ahead.” "The men made some good steps. We need to keep doing what we're doing." etc. Beta 1: #A1 39, Beta 2: #A4 38, Beta Pal 35 Pla Delt #E2, Sigma Pal Epsilon 25 Sigma Chi A 37, Cem Chi A 38 Cem Chi B 39, Cem Chi B 38 AKI Management Epsilon #E4 24 AKI Management Epsilon #E4 24 Tau Kappa Epsilon 66, Sigma Kappa Tau Kappa Epsilon 66, Sigma Kappa Pla Beta Sigma #E2 27 Fid #E3, Vernon Scholaer #21 Fid #E3, Vernon Scholaer #21 Delta Upsilon #L4, Lambda Chi Alpha 36 Delta Upsilon #L4, Lambda Chi Alpha 36 Intramurals Rec.

The players agreed to talk to a reporter this weekend about the gifts and money offered, if most schools involved were not disclosed. of the corners of their mouth, thinking that the offer would make a difference," Thompson said. Thompson, the 6-foot-10 center for the NBA team, said he had offers of fancy cars, luxury apartments and first-class plane fares home to him. He also moved out of Miami's Jackson High School in 1974. 8508 High School in 1944. "The recruits would be real sly, talking out "I used to talk to other athletes. They'd tell me the things they had, and I wondered how they'd get away with it. I thought some schools were so powerful that the NCAA didn't want to mess with them." "The whole college situation should be put on probation if the NCAA really wants to look. I saw guys driving Cadillacs, living in high-rise apartments. These were major schools, AllAmericans. You knew the NCAA was looking the other way." Forward Peter Verhoeven said he was recruited so heavily out of high school in Hanford, Calif., that he had to stay away from home to avoid the telephone calls. "There was one school that just handed me money as soon as I walked off the plane," she said. Guard Kelvin Ransey, who played at Ohio State, said, "Only one school offered me something—clothes and a nice place to stay. They wanted to make sure I was set up." "They spent $100 to $200 trying to win me money," he said. "They kept betting the money Guard Jim Paxson, who played at Dayton, said a couple of recruiters from one school took him to Camp Curtis. Jimmy Lynn, assistant Blazer coach, said he thought penalties should be on the coaches rather than the school or players, if illegal recruiting practices were to be abolished. "The coach is the one who does it." he said.
