Thursday, February 15. 1979 University Daily Kansan 9 Staff photo by BILL FRAKES Rejection Cyclones dominate,beat KU 68-66 KU's Paul Mokeski rejects a shot by surprise-scorer Charles Harris from Iowa State last night in Amnes. However, Mokeski was unable to impart any wrist ball or stick to the shot with 21 attempts and 6 struckouts. Bv JOHN P. THARP By JOHN T. HEART Associate Sports Editor AMES, Iowa—Iowa State, led by the first-half scoring by the Charles Harris and a second-half surge by Andrew Parker, kept control in the game with KU last night to win 68-66. Harris, a 6-2 guard who is averaging fewer than five points a game in the conference, was starting his second game after regaining his startling spot Saturday. He hit six of eight field goals for a dozen first-half points. But Lynn Nance, ISU coach, wanted Harris because of his defensive quickness in a match against KU's Darnell Valentine. Nance was happily surprised when Harris ended with 10 points, his second highest career total. "He has been through a bit of a drought," Nance said of Harris, "but he really played While Harris and Parker, who finished with a game-high 27 points, were really playing, Kansas was having difficulty on to the ball and staying on the court. KU SHOT A miserable 36 percent in the first half, which helped give the Cyclones a 37-29 intermission lead. Kansas also had seven first-half turnovers and was torn up under the boards by a 22-14 Iowa State rebounding edge. It appeared that with such a performance, KI couldn't come back. "We never had the ball and the lead at the same time." "We played poorly in the first half," KU coach Ted Owens said, "and Iowa State well-prepared to play and they took the initiative from the beginning. At times, it was difficult for either team to hang on to the ball, which seemed to be passed or knocked out of bounds more often than it was on the court. KANSAN Sports In the second half, KU challenged three times. Just after halftime, John Crawford hit both shots of a two-shot foul and then took a shot from the jumper that cut the Cyclones' margin 10-2. IOWA STATE then turned the ball over twice in 30 seconds but KU couldn't capitalize. The Cyclones hit nine of the next 11 points. Just past the 10-minute mark, Valentine drew the lane and scored,opping the lead to 2. But it was a costly bucket. Valentine was whistled for his fifth personal after he knocked Parker down on the way to the hop. Parker hit both ends of the one and one to cancel Valentine's bucket. Valentine had with 13 points, four assists and five steals. Just more than a minute later, Tony Guy also fooled out. After that, KU went ahead with a pair of Mokesi free throws at 5:33, 56-15. KU MANAGED to get that clue behind the surprise scoring of Booty Neal, who scored a career-high of 13 points, all in the second half. But the Cyclones rebuilt their lead to seven, 65, behind Parker's scoring. Near the end, however, the game could have gone either way since neither team could put together a creditable performance. The Brewers had offensive foils in 15 seconds with less than 13 minutes left, giving KU the ball. But the Hawks couldn't find the hoop. Because the caliber of play was far from perfect, evidenced by 13 official turnovers in 2014, it was a challenging game. Kings end 76ers streak PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Ots Birdsong's 26 points and Bob Nash's season-high of 24 last night helped the Kansas City Kings snap Philadelphia's three-game winning streak with a 108-106 victory over the 76ers in a National Basketball Association game. Atlantic Division Julius Erving, who missed the 76ers' last game because of a sprained ankle, returned to the lineup but was held to nine points. Sider center Darryl Dawkins was the leading pick. The Sixers had to 107-14 with 12 left on Maurice Cheeks' layup and foul shot. Erving hit Dawkins for a dunk with two seconds left to make it 107-166, but Birdssung was fouled by Cheeks and converted one of two free throws for the final margin. Washington 38 16 L Pct.

"We didn't come out and take control." Valentine said. "On the road, you have to take over the crowd and control the game early and the way it's played. "We just used the right combination tonight," Nance said. "They were playing for a championship and certainly they're not out of it, yet." Nance, who predicted his team's role as the conference spoiler, was elated after coaching the Cyclones to their first victory against KU in 10 games. Kansas is 6-8 and tied for third place with Missouri in the conference. | | PO | FT | REF | TP | TP | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Gay | 6-12 | 5-12 | 4-12 | 3-12 | 2-12 | | Crawford | 6-12 | 5-12 | 4-12 | 3-12 | 2-12 | | Stewart | 5-12 | 6-12 | 4 | 1 | 12 | | Valentine | 5-12 | 6-12 | 4 | 1 | 12 | | Shaw | 6-12 | 5-12 | 4 | 1 | 12 | | Shaw | 6-12 | 5-12 | 4 | 1 | 12 | | Neal | 6-10 | 11-12 | 2 | 2 | 13 | | Neal | 6-10 | 11-12 | 2 | 2 | 13 | | Sanders | 11-12 | 11-12 | 2 | 2 | 13 | | Sanders | 11-12 | 11-12 | 2 | 2 | 13 | Iowa State (6R) | | PG | FT | REB | PF | TP | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Estes | 9.1 | 18 | 7 | 2 | 13 | | Parker | 7.6 | 13 | 8 | 2 | 14 | | Naeus | 1.4 | 0.6 | 9 | 2 | 4 | | Harvey | 9.1 | 0.6 | 9 | 2 | 4 | | Harrington | 1.4 | 0.3 | 9 | 1 | 5 | | Harmonian | 0.1 | 0.6 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | Harmonian | 1.4 | 0.2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | Feycet | 0.1 | 0.2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | Feycet | 1.4 | 0.2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Kansas 29 37 -66 Iowa State 19 31 -68 Officiala: Brown, Oberle Attendance: 10.180 Bv NANCY DRESSLER Fambrough and staff sign seven gridders KU has reportedly signed several out-of-state high school and junior college players whose names won't be released until the next round of football's sports information director, said yesterday. PREF PLAYERS signed yesterday were: Jim Boushka, 6-5, 220-pound tight end-defensive from Kapaun-Mt. Carmel high school in Wichita; Gialeman, Coleman, 6-1, 190-pound full-back-defensive end from Lawrence; Ernie Goalsby, 6-2, 220-pound tight end-linebacker from Dodge City; Dave Meher, 6-2, 200-pound linebacker from Kansas City; Kevin Mao; Jeff Schlesinger, 6-4, 200-pound tight end-linebacker from Shawnee Mission North, and Dave Wessling, 6-5, 230-pound offensive lineman from Wichita North. The final choice for players will become official no earlier than Feb, 21, the first day of the season. By signing a conference letter with KU, the players agree not to play for any other Big Eight school. However, the letter is not a final commitment. Farnbrough had said Tuesday he wanted to sign seven or eight players—"the average was six"—who were coaches traveled through the state and into Missouri yesterday, the first day conference Sports Editor Don Fambrough and his football coaching staff were as busy yesterday as they had hoped to be as seven high school grid stars in the Eight conference letters of intent with KU. The seventh signee is Chris Clinton, 6-2, 195-pound end-tailback from Wichita Southeast whose brother Kevin just completed his freshman year with the Jayhawks. He saw limited action at quarterback. Kevin said last night his brother planned sign a national letter next week to play in the Olympics. "HE TOLD me he was going to sign a national letter," the older Clinton said. "He's going to sign next Wednesday sometime." The KU freshman said his being at KU was not a factor in his brother's choice. "He just sat down and figured out where he wanted to go," Kevin said. "I wasn't a snail." Kevin said his brother had recently limited his choices to Iowa State, Missouri and Arkansas universities before choosing KU. Al least one other of yesterday's signees has publicly said he would play for KU. Coleman said last week he would carry his commitment to play with the Jayhawks. Some signings elsewhere in the Big Eight were: large store there on the Big Eight were from the Northwestern High School.
