'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 onight on both ends of the court," Coach Ted Owens said. "Every good team you see has a strong defense and you should go good to be rebound well against a Big Ten team."
The Jahwahys' defense throughout the game and their second-half offense turned out to be the best in the game.
"Kansas played well both on offense and defense," Michigan State Coach Jack 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.
Michigan State's leading scorer, Derek Perry, had won scoreless, and the Spartans starters were in a comeback.
Bat the ingredients the Ja'hwakes have been missing showed up in the second half when the 'Hawks connected on 64 percent of their shots.
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
it was going to be the Jeff Dishburn 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 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 finished with 18 points, scored 14 of those in the game.
"Everybody started to shoot a little better." Markley 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 one could explain why we shot the bad kid on Tuesday.
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 Boyle 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
"I don't remember to much of what happened," Baine said. "My memory is really fuzzy right now."
Preseason All-America candidate Tony Gauk continued to struggle from the field as he hit only 29 points in a season.
"That is the least of my worries," Owens said. He's taking good shots, He's playing fine games.
"THE TEAM IS playing well without me shooting at the bad ball but just be another I will let my射击 badly
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 Jayhawks host Arizona at 7:35. The Wildcats host Chicago at 10:45. Wildcats were beaten in their openers by Nevada 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 was disliked in KU's final game against Missouri.
Seurer says his doctor, Ken Wertzberger,
doesn't think he'll be ready.
"They are still being pessimistic," Seurer said. "But the chance is there."
"I'm really excited," he said. "It should be a lot of fun. They've got quite a schedule for us."
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 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.

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-Comet logo, 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 en-
expiration experience for Kansas City soccer fans,
who watched a game considerably different
from the past and were more in popularity
in the last few years across Kapas.
BUT THE FANS caught onto the variations quickly and soon outvoyed the Wichita Wings fans to cheer the Comets to a 5-4 overtime victory.
The Camts join the Wichita Wings as Kansas members of the four-year-old Major Indoor Soccer League. The Camts plan to capitalize on successful success and growth of soccer in the Midwest.
