Sports Page 10 University Daily Kansan, February 5. 1982 KU looks to snap road losing streak By RON HAGGSTROM Sports Editor The Kansas Jayhawks travel to Stillwater tomorrow to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys. KU will be looking for its first road victory in the Big Eight Conference. The Jayhawks are 04 away from home in the conference and 1-6 overall. overall. "Oklahoma State is always tough no matter where you play them," David Magley, co-captain, said. Although Oklahoma State lost at Oklahoma, 78-72, Wednesday night, the Cowboys are 7-1 at home with their only loss coming at the hands of 12th-ranked Tulsa. "OSU IS playing as well as anyone in the conference now," Coach Ted Owens said about the Cowboys. "We have gone 4-1 since the two teams played the season. It will be a very, very difficult game." "I think people would have to regard Stillwater as one of the tough road games in our league." In the two teams' earlier game, the Jayhawks held on for a 77-72 victory in Allen Field House. In that contest, the Jayhawks received a 17-point performance by Tony Guy and were sparked in the late going by Lance Hill, who came off the bench and scored 15 points. "Kansas is a difficult team for us to play." "We were able to shut down their two big guns (Magley and Guy) in the second half at Kansas, but the bench came to the rescue and (Lance) Hill came in to get 15 points and push them over the barrier in Ohio's state Court Paul Hauser said. "Kansas is a solid team that has played tough schedule." OKLAHOMA STATE has made one line-up change since its previous game with KU. The Cowboys have inserted Lorenza Andrews at center for the Lakers, because of that switch, the Cowboys' leading scorer, Matt Clark, moves to the forward position. Cark scored 12 points in the two teams' previous game, while center Leroy Combs, the Cowboys' second-leading scorer, was held to just 4 points. Oklahoma State enters the game one game ahead of the Jayhawks in the Big Eight Conference. Both teams enter the game with 12-7 records overall. "Leroy Combs is starting to assert himself, but that's no surprise." Owens said. "It was just a matter of time, because he's such an outstanding talent." JAYHAWK NOTES: Earlier in the week, former KU running back Harry Sydeny signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, this year's Super Bowl runner-up. Last year, Sydney signed a free agent contract with the Seattle Seahawks. He was later cut. The Bengals have two other former Jayhaws on their roster, Tom Dinkel and David Verser.

Although the Lakers, from a school of 1,400 in Evanston, Ill., only have a 8- record, KU Head Coach Marian Washington said they were a tough team.

Washington said that MCE,which had a 26-9 record last year, had played close games against Tennessee and Memphis State. or for the 13-11 Jayhawks to get on the winning Washington said, they need to play with Mackenzie. "Much of what we've been challenged with is establishing intensity from the very beginning." Washington said. "We have found ourselves way behind at the half too many times." That didn't happen to the Jayhawks Wednesday night. KU jumped out to a 14-point lead early in the first half. Iowa State did come back, but KU held a 29-26 at the half.

By GINO STRIPPOLI Philicia Allen and Mona Nance, two members of the South Carolina women's basketball team, have left South Carolina and are planning to enroll at Kansas. Associate Sports Editor However, Allen and Nance, who are the fourth and fifth members of the 12-6 South Carolina team to quit since Coach Pam Parsons resigned before the game, will not. Be able to participate at Kansas this year. "They have asked for a release from us, and Allen and Nance, who are not currently enrolled at Kansas, have been at the University since Monday. They have been going through the last complete enrollment, but are waiting on loans to complete enrollment. KC Comets edge past Wichita, 6-5 when a player signs to go to a university and quits in the middle of the season, they have not lived up to their responsibility, and because of this, they do not deserve to get their release." we assume that they are going to enroll at the university. Kelly said, "We will not please them, though." Kansas would usually help the two girls with their finances, but because they have not received their release from South Carolina, Kansas cannot offer them any aid. Allen, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, was a starter under Parsons. The Kansas City Comets scored their first shorthanded goal in the team's existence, and it turned out to be a game winner as the Comets defeated the Wichita Wings 6-5 at Kemper Arena. Nance, a 6-2 freshman who had been playing behind South Carolina star Medina Dixon. By United Press International Gino Schiraldi raced the length of the field and passed to Emilio Romero for the winning goal with just under five minutes left in the game. The goal, made by Kofi Arubo, was penalty called on goalkeeper Enzo Dipede. Fambrough expects banner recruiting year Kansas City took a 3-10 lead in the second period or by Zoran Savin and one by tube Orlean. By TRACEE HAMILTON Managing Editor Managing Editor Don Eambrough is laughing off all rumors. The Jayhawk football coach's name has been mentioned as a possible replacement for former Athletic Director Bob Marcum. But Fambrough war to consider the annual recruiting战 to consider the position. "WHEN PIGS grow wings and fly, I'll be athletic director," Farnham brought Wednesday between chuckles. "I have no desire to leave this job right here." And that job right now calls for Fambrough to do one of the things he loves best—recruiting. "I get the same satisfaction, the same excitement from recruiting as from the season," he said. "That's what makes me sick about the signing date." "IM SURE some of the coaches like it. Some of them would just as soon go fishing or something. But that takes away one of the highlights of life. It's like Christmas or a brawl来来去." Fambridge referred to the new NCAA ruling, which says a head coach may not be present when high school recruits sign their letters-of-intent Eg. 10. "Nobody understands it," Fambrough said of the ruling. "It's dumb. I can't be there at the time they sign. (Penn State coach Joe) Paterno was very in everywhere at once, so he wanted to pass the rule." The Jayhawks' 8-3 season has helped recruiting immensely this year, and any bowl appearance, win or lose, also adds a certain prestige to a team. *much success is showing through recruiting. Famborough said he already had heard of about 20 verbal commitments. The NCAA limit is 30. He was confident that he wasn't worried about surpassing his limit. "That's a problem I would enjoy having," he said, "I have seen anything like this and I've been kept busy." "OF YOUR VERBAL commitments, they are all players." Fambrough said, emphasizing the latter. "Everybody is recruiting them. But a woman's commitment is just an engagement. It is not a marriage." Not quite forever, but close. Fambrough has been a player, assistant coach or head coach for 30 years. And rarely has he been so pleased with a recruiting season. Even so, the recruits are a fairly impressive group, according to Fambrough. In his first year at UMass Amherst, he scored 103 points. Last spring's recruits, by Fambridge's own admission, were more of a rebuilding group, stocked with linemen and plenty of junior college students. The group, according to Fambridge, will be a little of both. "This year's class is a combination of skill people and big linemen," he said. "They're big people, 6-foot-4 and 6-5, both offensive and defensive." Moore, Fambrigh brought in a sharp class dotted with nationally sought players like Alex Baldwin and Dylan Thomas. "WITH A LITTLE FUN, we'll have a good class. If things fall our way, we have a great chance." To help things fall their way, Fambrough and his staff have been hosting recruits for weekend trips to campus. The last of these weekends begins tomorrow. Fambrough was particularly excited about the last recruiting weekend, when he and the football team were honored at half time of the KU-Oklahoma basketball game last Saturday night. —Don Fambrough 'I'm sure some of the coaches like the rule. Some of them would just as soon go fishing or something. But that takes one of the biggest days of my life. It's like Christmas or a bowl game to me.' "My pitch to all the high school seniors this year is that our people are excited about our football program. It reinforced what I had been told them about the excitement and enthusiasm." FAMBROUGH SAID that, although many people thought the recruits wandered around campus for the weekend, the visits were really well-planned. "The important thing was the little deal before the game and the reaction from the student body," Fambridge said. "The recruits had been hearing about it all weekend. They couldn't get to the reception the players got. It meant a lot to their recruiting. They were really impressed." "They have a full schedule from the time they hit the campus until they leave," he said. "We find out in advance what they are looking for. The basketball game and going out with the players." "The rest of the time is spent with meetings and appointments. They meet with the deans of the different schools they're interested in. They meet with their position coach, the academic counselor and Keith Kephart, the strength coach." Fambrough said that Chancellor Gene A. Budig and the faculty also make themselves available to answer questions for the recruits and their parents. 'They're on their own time, and I'm sure it's a real inconvenience, but they never turn me to businessmen. I am involved. They meet with businessmen and give a chance to go to their homes or places of business. "AND I VISIT with each one of them in audition starting Saturday afternoon and Sunday." Fambrigham said this year's Kansas high school senior class was a bumper recruiting crop. Last year, Kansas recruited heavily out of state, but this year, Fambrigham said, Nebraska and other Big Eight schools also were recruiting in the Sunflower State. Among out of state recruits this season are Dave Gervae and Ken Majors of Edison High in Huntington Beach, Calif. Edison was one of the top high school football teams in the nation last year under Coach Wick Workman, and Kansas was established a California Connection with the EDISON GRADS now at Kansas include quarterback Frank Seurer, tailbacks Kerwin and Dino Bell, safety Troy Seurer and linebacker Bill Malasova. Majors, a quarterback, and Geroux, a backfall, are also being heavily recruited by West Coast schools, including Southern Cal. USC wanted Kerrwin Bell when he graduated two years ago, but Bell decided to go to the same school as Seurer. Fambrough said there were several recruits in Colorado, some in St. Louis and three or four from the Miami area, which has also proved to a Jawahir stronghold in the last few years. Several Kansas players have made verbal commitments to the Jayhawks. These include: - Dane Griffin, 6-2, 8-2, 200-pound lineman from * Lawrence and the All-A14 selection and * All-Star-11 selection. - Mark Henderson, a 217-pound fullback from Lawrence - LAWRENCE * John Martel, a 6-4, 215-pound tackle from - Paul Oswald, 64-200 linebacker from Hayden High in Topeka. - Lyndall Yarnell, 6-2, 190-pound linebacker from Washburn Rural, Topeka. Jayhawk swim teams face Arkansas Tomorrow also will be Jayhawk Swim Day, with former KU swimmers returning to watch the event. The KU women's swim team, who will close out their dual season, and the KU men's team will face Arkansas at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Robinson Natatorium. "I LOOK FOR a good meet," Coach Gary Kemp says, essential for some parties. The women are drawn to him. The women defeated Arkansas last year, 87-56. The men lost, 74-39. Last weekend, the women beat Southern Illinois, 76-73, and the men lost to Missouri, 69-44. For this weekend's game, Kernpf said he was looking for continued progress. "We need a little more speed on the first part of the race," he said. "We need to be aggressive." "The men need to stay on the same track. You don't change anything at the end of the season. We have a set plan for the season, and you want to work with that." This will be the last home meet of the year for the women's team, but the men will face Southern Illinois in two weeks at home. The next Championship game will be the big Eight Championships starting Feb. 25. BOTH KU teams are in their tapering-off period, slowing down their workouts to prepare for the Big Eight Championships. The teams work on gymnastics, swim in workouts and work more on technique. "We have a six-week taper, although some of the swimmers wouldn't say I'm easing up on them," Kempf said. "We spend more time on technique, more concentration on being fast." "It's just the way they feel," he said. "They continue until they feel right in the water. Some do it differently and take different amounts of time." JAYHAWK NOTES: Tammy Thomas' time of 23.6 in the 50-yard freestyle freaks her third in the nation in that event. That is the highest-ranking time of any Jayhawk this year. Mets to get Foster By United Press International NEW YORK-K-the Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets yesterday agreed to a trade, in principle, that would send All-Star outfielder George Foster to the Met's. The Mela would not reveal the names of the players they would send to the Reds until they got them. The Mets have been granted permission by the Reds to talk to Foster, because the deal hinges on the outfielder accepting New York's offer. The 33-year-old slugger, in the option year of his contract with Cincinnati, is seeking a multi-year contract in excess of $1 million a month, asking for a $1 million interest-free loan. Foster has been the most effective run producer in the major leagues over the last
