Page 10 University Daily Kansan, January 27, 1982 Guard Angie Taylor prepares to shoot a jump shot over Kansas State's Betsy Sloan The Wildcats beat the Jayhawks last night 83-74. Comets get Phoenix forward By United Press International PHOENIX-IX—The Phoenix Inferno placed forward inbo Petrovic on waivers Monday and he immediately kicked the Kansas City Comets. Petrovic entered this season seventh on the Major Indoor Soccer League's all-time scoring list, but had scored only eight goals for the Inferno. He's just been a big disappointment "He's just been a big disappointment ACADEMY CAR RENTAL prices as low as $9.95 per day 808 w 24th 841.0101 to us," said Inferno General Manager Norm Sutherland. Sutherland said he tried to trade his wares to the mob on waivers, but he got no offers. He was arrested. Comets General Manager Timothy Lewke said he could not believe that Peppe Marchetti was right. "The guy's a beautiful player" "The guy plays games we saw him in, he was unbelievable." Petrovic is the third highly-paid player to lead on web. 'Hawks fall 83-74, continue losing ways By GINO STRIPPOLI Associate Sports Editor It had everything that women's basketball is not supposed to have. It had excitement. It had end-to-end action. It had two cross-state rivals. It had a teammate. But in the end, according to Coach Marian Washington, it was the officials that decided the game. The Jayhawks dropped a 83-74 decision to the Kansas State Wildcats in Allen Field House last night, giving the Jayhawks their third straight loss. "The officiating was crucial," Washington said. "Unfortunately, the referees played a major role in the victory of the game. They were incredible." Kansas went into last night's game hoping to break its losing streak and knock off K-State, who won the Big Eight championship two weeks ago. And at the start, it looked as if the Javahawks could pull it off. They led 10-4 after five minutes of play, but the Wildcats scored 14 of the next 16 points to build a lead that they never relinquished. Tammy Romstad was the big gun for the Wildcats in the first half, leading K-Site to a 44-31 lead at intermission. He shot 78 points and 6 shootings, Erin Scheiber added eight. Chris Stewart, who had been averaging only 5.5 points a game, scored 12 points in the first half to lead the team, and then added 11 points and eight rebounds. "We blew the game at the end of the first half," said guard Angie Snider, who shot a dismal 2 of 10 from the field in the first half. "We were down by two, 32-30, and the next thing you knew it was halftime and were down by 13." "We knew we could come back in the second half and the intensity picked up." Washington said. "We wanted to keep the ball out of Romstad's hands and we did a good job that in the end Pincilla Picricia Gally really picked them up." 9:03 left in the game. But the Jayhawks could not grab the lead. K-State scored 14 of the next 16 points, seven from the foul line. Claxton, KU's All-America,DATE, once again led the Jayhawks with 23 points and 15 rebounds. Stewart had 16, Snider 12 and Shrae Holden, who said played her best game this season, had 10 points and nine rebounds. All Gary did in the second half was go of six seven from the field and five of six from the line for 17 points. She scored just two points in the first half. "I am very proud of our ball team," Washington said. "We played a veteran team tonight and we played them touch." "The season has been frustrating for us because we want to do well in what is supposed to be a rebuilding year." Snider said. The game was played before a sparse but boisterous crowd of 1,100. And although women's basketball is not supposed to be the crowder pleaser that men is, those 1,100 in the stands last night might not agree. Kansas came out fired up in the JAYHAWK NOTES: The Jayhawk men's basketball team will host the Colorado Buffaloes tonight. Tippet is at 7:40. The Buffaloes are 1-4 in the conference and stand 13. The game will be televised as the Big Eight game of the week. Scoreboard Basketball NBASTANDINGS Eastern Conference Team Team W L Pct.

The Ulan's features are coarse and elongated, but they're instantly recognizable as part of the film's voyage of our predecessors, the Nean E S d c f s.
