'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.
**WERE we 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 you will get a good return 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 league.
"Kansas played well both on offense and defense," Michigan State Coach Jade 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 starters on the floor.
But the ingredients the Jayhaws have been missing showed up in the second half when the team had to be down by 17 points.
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 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 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 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 guy."
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 fuzzy right now."
Presason All-America candidate Tony Guy continued to struggle from the field as he hit only 28 points in a game.
"That is the least of my worries," Owens said. "It takes good shots. He's playing fine basketball."
'THE TEAM IS playing well without me shooting golf, but just be another one and I get my shooting better.'
The Jayhawks, who have a 3-game winning streak, have won 15 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 Arizona Wildcats are undefeated against 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 Birningham, Ala. Sneer's elbow was dislocated in KU's final game against
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."
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.
"I'm really excited," he said. "It should be a lot of fun. They've got quite a schedule for us.
"The cables restrict my movement. They adjust the cables every week to allow more

"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- lit Comet logo, a background for the emergent players. Thus Kansas City was introduced to its newest professional athletes, the Comets.
The Comets join the Wichita Wings as Kansas members of the four-year-old Major Indoor Soccer League. The Comets plan to capitalize on its growing 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 in popularity in the last few years across Kansas.
The fans saw a form of the game adapted from
BUT THE FANS caught the variations quickly and soon outvoiced the Wichita Wings fans to cheer the Comets to a 5-4 overtime victory.

'Very best' planned two years in advance
By MARK ZIEMAN Staff Reporter
The familiar carols merrily rumble from the car radios, dance amid the lights and candles decking downtown Lawrence, and tinkle down into the stores, sifting through the holly, wreaths, angels, Santas, cards and ribbons.
Once again, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
For the people at Hallmark Cards,
but never, it comes a bit earlier.
In fact, in 1970, it was
This year's Christmas cards and decorations are old stuff, two-year-old designs for the company's 600 artists and writers. And at the Hallmark production company, the company is planting for greeting cards anywhere in the world-Christmas 1981 ended a year ago.
"We are literally working on Christmas all the time," Eric Morgenster, manager of public information for Hallmark Cards, Inc., Kansas City, Mo., said recently.
WITH ANNUAL SALES that exceed $1 billion, Hallmark is the recognized leader of what its salesmen like to call the "social expression industry." To stay ahead of the competition, the company sends artists and writers to fashion shows and sociological conferences across the country, hoping to spot emerging trends
"We start planning major holiday seasons, like Christmas and Valentine's Day, two years in advance. At one year in the past we are ready to go into production."
for use in Christmas and other holiday cards.
“Our research is second to none in the social expression industry,” Morgenstern said. “We sense American trends a couple of years back that we become trends in Main Street America.”
This year's Christmas trends, he said,
he keyed to elegance and trendy
postal styles.
As examples, he mentioned a card depicting a 50s-style diner with wreaths and candies in the windows and a card of a man leaving an old city taxi.
The trend nostalgic cards are for the "generation in the 50s and 60s that in the 80s has become the baby boom without the babies," he said.
"I think that's a throwback to Nancy Reagan and the Reagan era, where everything is more pomp and circumstance," he said, already speaking of the Reagan administration in the past tense.
For elegance, this year's cards use bright foli highlights, silk-screen colors, Russian lace floral prints and tree limb designs. There are plenty of leaf leaves, as well as many other desiors.
"Between 25 to 30 percent of all Christmas cards have religious designs. This year there are more nativities, stars, angels, the three wisenem, stained glass windows, and a lot of peace cards showing the doves or the lion and the lamb."
"One more trend we're seeing this Christmas is a real heart-break return to shopping."
