'Hawks have first easy victory, 74-56
By RON HAGGSTROM
Associate Sports Editor
The wild finish was missing.
However, that's the only thing the Jayhawks were missing Saturday night.
KU, who won its previous two games by 1 and 2 points, came away with an impressive 74-56 triumph over the Michigan State Spartans at Allen Field House before 12,610 fans.
"WE WERE a real basketball team tonight on both ends of the court," Coach Ted Owens said. Every good team you see has a strong defense and a good skill set to rebound to well against a Big Ten team."
The Jayhawks' defense throughout the game their second-half offense turned out to be the difference.
"Kansas played well both on offense and defense," Michigan State Coach Coch JudHeatchee said. "But the KU defense is what really won the game for Kansas."
The defense held Michigan State to 40 percent shooting from the field and forced 17 turnovers.
Michigan State's leading scorer, Derek Perry, was held scoreless, and the Spartans starters on the field had none.
But the ingredients the Jayhawks have been missing showed up in the second half when the Blue Devils had a 24-10 victory.
It was KU's starting frontline that led the second half surge.
During that half they hit 16 of 20 shots and scored 37 of KU's 48 points.
AT THE BEGINNING of the half it looked like it was going to be the Jeff Dishman show.
The 6-foot-6 Hutchison Community Junior College transfer scored the first seven points of the half for the Jayhawks and wound up scoring six in the half, hitting all 5 field goal attempts.
Dishman wound up the evening with 21 points. "Dishman was playing awesome in the second half," he said.

Forward counterpart David Magley, who
Forward counterpart David Magley, who finished with 18 points, scored 14 of those in the game.
"Everybody started to shoot a little better." Magley said. "We just got the momentum up."
Knight responded in the second half and finished with 15 points.
"WE HAVE A lot of good shooters," Knight said. "No one could explain why we shot the bad
The insertion of Tad Boyle at points guard also
sparked the Jayhawks. Although Boyle finished with only 4 points he dished out 7 assists, 6 in the second half when he was able to get the ball inside.
However, Boyle was injured with 1:37 remaining in the game when Knight fell on top of her.
"I don't remember to much of what happened," pigeon said. "My memory is really fuzzy right now."
Preseason All-America candidate Tony Gage continued to struggle from the field as he hit only 14.2 points per game.
"That is the least of my worries," Owens said. "He takes good talk shots. He plays fine basketball."
"THE TEAM IS playing well without me shooted when I get it wrong, just be another when I get my shot shooting back."
The Jayhawks, who have a 3-game winning streak, have won 16 straight games at home.
KU will play its four straight home game tonight when the Jahawks host Arizona at 7:35. Arizona will bring a 1-1 record into the contest. The Rams beat the Chargers 62-54 in Las Vegas, 69-48, and be Providence, 62-88.
Seurer hopes to be healthy for bowl game
Frank Seurer says yes. His doctor says no.
The KU quarterback is struggling to come back in time for Kansas' Dec. 31 Hall of Fame Bowl appearance in Birmingham, Ala. Seurer's elbow was dislocated in KU's final game against
Seurer says his doctor, Ken Wertberger,
doesn't think he'll be ready.
Seurer's right arm is in two casts, one above the elbow and one below. The casts are connected by steel hinges and cables to allow some mobility.
"They are still being pessimistic," Seurer said. "But the chance is there."
"It feels pretty good," Seurer said. "The swelling's down an awful lot. The doctors say I'm coming along faster than normal. And it's not that sore.
"I'm really excited," he said. "It should be a lot of fun. They've got quite a schedule for us."
"And it should be a good game. Their defense

The green laser beams shot across the darkened arena, keeping time to the crowd-rousing music from the movie "Midnight Express." The beams crossed and came to rest on the home goal, where out of the smoke shone the neon-citromet Logo image, a background for the emerging players. Thus Kansas City was introduced to its newest professional athletes, the Comets.
The home opener on Nov. 28 was an eye-opening experience for Kansas City soccer fans, who watched a game considerably different from their usual league in popularity in the last few years across Kansas.
The Comets join the Wichita Wings as Kansas members of the four-year-old Major Indoor Soccer League. The Comets plan to capitalize on long success and growth of soccer in the Midwest.

Salvation Army's holidays mean hard, fulfilling work
The day after Thanksgiving, when most people are inside recovering from a day of stuffing, at least 500 Lawrence Salvation Army staff members and volunteers have already started preparing Christmas gifts, organizing food donations and manning eight red kettles at ice, exposed locations throughout the city.
"A lot of people associate Christmas with us." Capt. Robert Thomson of the Lawrence Salvation Army chapter said last week
"It is a very fulfilling time; a very tiring time, too. Our Christmas runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas. It seems like a long time, but you look around at all the people that need help and I think that we are fulfilling the original purpose of Christmas—showing love and concern and compassion to other people," he said.
Last year, the Salvation Army helped 265 families, or more than 1,000 people, by supplying them with food vouchers or baskets of turkey, ham, chicken and fresh or canned vegetables—"cough food for a nice Christmas dinner," Thomas said.
The organization also visited 490-800 elderly people in the county's nursing homes, he said. It is just the idea that we need to be able to show that we care. Christmas. It's just to show that we care."
MUCH OF THE Army's work comes at the other end of the scale, with children. Last year, Thomson said, the Army supplied 397 children each with at least one new toy and presents it to all children present at the Salvation Army's toy shop at its church, New Hampshire St.
"we really urge the parents to leave their children at home when selecting school," she said.
that the gifts came from their parents, and not from the Salvation Army, he said.
"It preserves the dignity of the people, too." Thomson said.
Preserving the dignity of those it helps is important to the Salvation Army. The Army ran a prison toy shop in September, when staff members went to Kansas state penitentiary and let the inmates select gifts for their children.
“It’s real touching to see the parents go through,” Thomson recalled. “Known murderers break down and cry. It’s really touching.”
The gifts are then sent to the children, with a card signed from the parent. The Salvation Army is not credited with the gifts.
"Men from year to year look forward to that opportunity," Thomson said.
ONE NEW PROGRAM this year is the dress-a-doll program, he said.
The Salvation Army orders most of its Christmas gifts in March, he said, and the families are asked to start coming now to the church to sign up for gifts and food.
"Little girls always have to have a doll," Thomson said. "We ordered some undressed dolls and the different clubs in the community are taking them and dressing
"The people need to come down and sign up so that we can put them on our list. We act as a clearing house for the other occupants of limited resources go as far as they can."
Thomson said that the army was trying to raise $27,000 this holiday season to cover requests for help, which he thought would be enough. This year because of the present economy.
