'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.
AU, whoUu 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.
**WERE we a real basketball team tonight on both ends of the court.** Coach TQ Owens said. Every good team you see has a strong defense and you can get it well enough to rebound well against a Big Ten team.
The Jayhawks' defense throughout the game and their second-half offense turned out to be the best in the league.
"Kansas played well both on offense and defense," Michigan State Coach Jud Heathcote 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.
But the ingredients the Jayhawks have been missing showed up in the second half when the Eagles were defeated.
Michigan State's leading scorer, Derek Perry, was held scoreless and the Spartans starters on a five-point run.
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 46 points.
AT THE BEGINNING of the half it looked like a waiter to be off. Dighnian show.
The 6-foot-6 Hutchinson Community Junior College transfer scored the first seven points of the half for the Jayhawks and wound up scoring 16 points in the half, hitting all 5 field goal at-
Dishan wound up the evening with 21 points. "Dishan was playing awesome in the second half, so I had to go out," he said.
Forward counterpart David Magley, who finished with 18 points, scored 14 of those in the game.
"Everybody started to shoot a little better," McLean said. "We just got the momentum Killen."
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 guys."
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.
"Tad Boyd had the most impressive game, I thought," Heathcote said...
However, Boyle was injured with 1:37 remaining in the game when Knight fell on top of him.
"I don't remember too much of what happened." Boyle said. "My memory is really fuxy right now."
Preseason All-America candidate Tony Gay continued to struggle from the field as he hit only 12 points in a season.
"That is the least of my worries," Owens said, taking good shots. He's playing fine basketball.
"THE TEAM IS playing well without me shooting good shots. I just must just be another shot." I get my shooting吊头.
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 Jahawkes host Arizona at 7:35. Arizona will play a 1-rand contest into the contest. The Rockets face the San Antonio Trailblazers in Las Vegas, 69-49, and beat Providence, 62-58.
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, Al. Seurer's team dislocated in KU's final game against Missouri.
Seurer says his doctor, Ken Wertberger,
don'tthink he'll be ready.
"They are still being pessimistic," Seuren said. "But the chance is there."
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.
"It ites 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

KC Comets

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- lit Comet logo, a background for the emergent players. Thus Kansas City was introduced to its newest professional athletes, the Comets.
BUT THE FANS caught onto the variations quickly and soon outvicted the Wichita Wings fans to cheer the Comets to a 5-4 overtime victory.
The Comets join the Wichita Wings as Kansas members of the four-year-old Major Indoor Soccer League. The Comets plan to capitalize on their success and growth of soccer in the Midwest.

Customers swamp local stores
By JOE REBEIN Staff Reporter

Christmas is the time of year that turns any shopping center into a surging sea of consumers, all bent on finding the right gift.
Lawrence is no different.
Lawrence is most KU students leave town at least a week before Christmas, most of the holiday shopping is done in late November or early December.
"Retail stores do up to 25 percent of their annual volume during the holiday season," said Bob Radcliffe, president of the Downtown Lawrence Association.
Radcliffe said Lawrence had $4 million in retail sales last year, with about $10 million in net sales.
Roger Bash, manager of Pendragon, 846 Massachusetts St., said, "We get a tremendous increase in customers. About 40 percent of our sales come during the holidays."
"The customers get real aggressive trying to find the right kind of gift. If we don't put out the Christmas cards by late evening, we have students complaining."
A SURVEY by the Downtown Lawrence Association showed that downtown stores began staying open nights for the convenience of Christmas shoppers on Dec. 3.
Other stores will be staying open later by Dec. 14, two weeks before Christmas. Most stores will have longer shopping hours than on December 25th closing as early as noon on Christmas eve.
"Some students view it as a mini-vacation when they drive into Kansas City
Despite the boon of the Yuletide season, Radcliffe said store managers worried about the allure of retail stores in Kansas City, Mo., and Topeka.
Jim Black, owner of the Royal College Shop. 837 Massachusetts St., said where students shopped depended on the weather.
"If the weather is bad and there is a lot of snow on the ground, students won't risk being hit by falling rocks."
Black said, however, that mid weather could hurt the local stores.
"If it is sunny and mild like it has been, people will tend to forget it it's getting near Christmas and wait until the last minute to buy their gifts," he said.
ELIZABETH SEYMOUR, Wichita sophmore, said she preferred to shop the Plaza in Kansas City because of its good selection.
"I usually get all of my Christmas shopping done in Kansas City before I go back home," she said. "Besides I just like to go into Kansas City."
But Jeff Hawkins, manager of Mr. Guy,
920 Massachusetts St., said that some students liked the convenience of downstairs retail stores so they should do their Christmas shopping there.
"I think that most students will go out "I early and do their shopping," Hawkins said. "During the end of the semester with the class, they would not have the time to drive into Kansas City."
Some students, though, said they were waiting until they go to home by any chance.
usually I don't have time to do any Christmas shopping while I am in school," said Ann Huber, Boca Raton, Fla. junior. "If I do a shopping at ally, it is just for little gifts for my friends. Those I usually buy in Kansas City."
PHIL STRODE, Chicago freshman, said he bought souvenirs for his little brothers and sisters from the Kansas Union Bookstore.
"Most of the larger gifts I will buy back home," Strode said. "That's where the men were."
