'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 we want to be good to rebound well against a Big Ten team."
The Jayhawks' defense throughout the game and their second-half offense turned out to be the dribble.
"Kansas played well both on offense and defense," Michigan State Coach Judi 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, was held scoreless and the Spartans start on 106.
But the ingredients the Jayhawks have been missing showed up in the second half when the team was up by one.
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 we it going to be the Jeff Dishman show.
The 6-foot-4 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 period," Dishman said.
Forward counterattack 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
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 bats."
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 her.
"I don't remember to much of what happened," she said. "My memory is really fuzzy right now."
Preseason All-America candidate Tony Gay continued to struggle from the field as he hit only 40 points in a doubleheader.
"That is the least of my worries," Owens said. "He's taking good shots. He's playing fine basketball."
"THE TEAM IS playing well without me shooting guns, but just be another one." I get my射击射手好。
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. Arizona brings a 1-1 record into the contest. The Hawks face Arizona at 7:49 and 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, Ala. Seurer's was dislocated in KU's final game against Missouri.
Seurer says his doctor, Ken Wertberger,
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."
"It ites pretty good," Seurer said. "The swelling's down an awful low. The doctors say I'm coming along faster than normal. And it's not that sore.
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.

The fans saw a form of the game adapted from
By JAN BOUTTE Sports Writer
The Comets join the Wichita Wings as Kansas members of the four-year-old Major Indoor Soccer League. The Comets plan to capitalize on ongoing success and growth of soccer in the Midwest.
The home opener on Nov. 28 was an eye-opening experience for Kansas City soccer fans, who watched a game considerably different from last season in popularity in the last few years across Kansas.
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-汁 Comet logo, a background for the emerging players. Thus Kansas City was introduced to its newest professional athletes, the Cornets.
BUT THE FANS caught onto the variations quickly and soon outvicted the Wichita Wings fans to cheer the Cornets to a 5-4 overtime victory.

Records
From page 13
One such late album is AC/DC's new release.
At Christmas "you just order heavy," Bob Wilson said.
Christmas is also the time when those games are played, and have been in existence all year round, heard throughout all year.
Children's records and classical records increase in this season, Steve Wilson said.
Nationally, it is said that the day after Thanksgiving is the biggest sales day, however, in Lawrence, with many students away for the holiday, this is not true.
Instead of one day, Steve Wilson said,
"In the past 30 years, Thanksgiving is
newest's peak week."
ANOTHER BIG DAY is the day before Christmas. Once again most of the students are gone from Lawrence.
"You don't feel the loss of the students," she said. "It's a matter of year that the students don't learn."
The reason the loss of students doesn't matter is because many people who do not buy albums throughout the year buy Christmas albums during day before Christmas to give as gifts.
"Christmas creates a false sense of security," Bob Wilson said.
DURING this season there are more requests for odalbda albums, Steve Wilson as a guest.
Steve Wilson said he ordered at least one album of every release by the larger record companies. Other albums, such as the Stones, he ordered 300 to start with.
Average price of an album at Better

"That's part of the charm of Christmas," he added.
