2nd place KU wins 74-62
By JOHN P. THARP
Associate Sports Editor
Two important things came out of the Kansas-Oklahoma basketball game.
By beating the Sooners decisively, 74-62, the Jayhawks brought first-place OU within striking distance at 7-3 in the Big Eight and kept their second place slot at 6-4. They also avenged one of their worst defeats this season with 84-45 run in Norman, Okla., last month.
When asked what the game did for KU, John Crawford, the fundamentalist who had been a member of the Fidelity Fund.
"It's 64, that's what it does for us, and them-7-3," he said.
Crawford, who tied Darnell Valentine for the team scoring lead, got 17 of his 19 points under pressure in the second half, when it was needed most by KU.
The lanky, 7-8 forward started the second half, had been benched for three-and-a-half minutes for committing a turnover, then returner to the game. Then John Mc-
Cullough, OU's shooting genius, got two of his game-high two dozen points, tying the Nets for most points.
CRAWFORD WENT to work. Following his own shot, he made it 41-38. On an offensive rebound and follow he made it 43-39 and then on a jumper from the top of the key made it 45-39, snuffing theOU challenge in a minute-and-a-half.
After the game, he didn't appear too jubilant. He said that he had the "inside happies." His performance was reminiscent of the Missouri game, in which the score was tied and Crawford fired up for five points in less than a minute.
In the first half, Crawford got his single bucket in an early KU surge of 16 unanswered shots. But he lead. But the Sooners, down because KU forced them to commit eight turnovers in the first seven minutes, up again. Of the next 14 points seized, had a dozen and 29-16.
AFTER CRAWDOR'S SURGE, the teams matched baskets, with dunks by OU's
Al Beal, outside bats by McCullough, another follow by Crawford and even a dunk by freshman David Magley after a performance to delight the 18,400 screening fans.
OU closed to three, 52-49, slipped, then came back within seven with a McCullough missile at 4:19. At 3:30, McCullough swelled the ball from Tony Guy and could have narrowed it to five. He tried a dunk and missed.
That rattled the Sooners and signalled the beginning of the end. Raymond Whitley traveled at 2:30 and McCullough traveled on 3:45. He returned at 1:23. By then KU was up 12 and out of reach.
Women romp, 105-54
KU romped and Lynette Woodard scored a career-high 49 points Saturday when the Jayhawks rolled over Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield. Mt. 105-54.
Woodard's performance marked the fifth time this season the sophomore has scored 40 or more points. In addition, she garnered 19 rebounds.
The victory lifts KU to a 22-5 record. The game was the team's third 100-point-plus performance for the past seven games and this season KU has passed the century mark.
Woodard's 49 points bettered her previous high of 45, scored last year in a 48-41 victory.
Thirty-one of her points came in the second half, when she played only 14 minutes. Besides scoring, she also collected steals and made three steals during that time.
over Wichita State University. Her prior
this state was 44 points against the Iowa
State.
Adrian Mitchell's 17-point effort lifted her career total points to 1,923.
Valentine, who injured his eye against OU last year in Norman, almost repeated the injury. With 13:31 left in the first half, he was out with a knee downcourt for a dunk. OU forward Terry Stotts, who weighs 35 pounds more than Valentine, jumped just after Valentine did and slammed his left arm into Valentine's shoulder. Valentine slid into the goal support.
All 11 KU players played against the SWM Bearks CSM. Cheryl Burnett added nine points and three Jayhawks-Sandy Paterson and Shirter Syhalo Holm—each added six.

'Hawks win vault, relay; come up blank for NCAA
By GENE MYERS
Sports Writer
Bob Timmons, KU men's track coach,
tound his team's first taste of large-scale
competition.
The Jayhawks won two events in the 63-team Oklahoma Track Classic in Oklahoma City, but failed to qualify anyone for the NCAA Indoor. The Hawks also were a member of the national wood track of the Myriad, site of the Big Eight Indoor Championships on Feb. 23-24.
Sports Writer
"Some good things happened," Timmons said, but not everything went like we expected.
"It was really important to find out about the tight-banked turns and we had our fair share of trouble negotiating them. This was our first time on boards and a bank track. We were used to a 220-yard track and this one is only 176 yards."
CAPTURING KU'S two firsts were Jeff Buckingham and the mile relay team.
1 meule relay team of Jimmy Little, Kevin Newell, Tom McCall and Stan Whitaker registered a 3:17.09 clocking to second place Oklahoma by about two seconds.
Breaking his own freshman record, Sanyao Owolabi leaped 51-14% in the triple jump, but his efforts were good enough only for second place. Kansas State University's Vince Parette won the triple with a meet-and-school-record jump of $21-11\frac{1}{4}$.
THE DISTANCE medley squad of McCall, Newell, Lester Mickens and Dave Bauer was second in 10:04.74, missing the NCAA qualifying mark by 10 seconds.
Tim Tays was more than nine seconds off his season best in the two-mile run, but his 9:12.8 was still fast enough for third place. Steve Rainbow also recorded a third place finish, tying with three competitors at 6-11 in the high jump.
Buckingham cleared 17 feet for the third time this season to win the pole vault. A freshman vaulter undefeated in collegiate competition but the beat his closest competitor by 6 inches.
KU's lone fourth-floor finisher was the two-mile relay team of Tim Jantsch, Mark Killen, Brian Thomas and Rick Winkelbock. Swanson was sixth in the mile with a 4:18.6.
KU's women's swimming team used several fine individual performances and a good team effort Saturday to top the 10-match state-state State Invitational in Fort Collins, Colo.
Women swimmers win Colorado meet
Kansas easily outdistaned the field by scoring 537 points. Runner-up Colorado State finished with 425 points, and Nebraska, a team that had handed the Jayhawks their only dual meet loss this season, was third with 412 points.
No team scores were kept.
In diving, Lynn Blades finished fourth after a strong performance in the three-meter competition, and teammate Patty Muehlberger was fifth.
Lindstrom, Lanny Schaffer, and Diane Ellis earned second-place fixtures, as did the 400- and 200-yard freestyle relay teams. Ellis' second in the 400-yard individual medley was good enough to qualify for the AIAW national meet in March.
Janet Lindstrom and Erin McMorrow turned in the only first-place finishes for the Jayhawks. Lindstrom, the leading scorer in the meet, won the 100-, 200-, and 500-freestyle events, and McMorrow won the 50-freestyle.

Foul angers Owens
Dusty at G and R Body Shop.
Before KU's 74-62 victory over Oklahoma State, Charles M. Neinas, Big Eight conference commissioner, gave away a trophy for sportsmanshin.
Bob Marcum, KU men's athletic director, accepted the conference sportsmanship trophy for 1977-78, and said, "Bring on the Spoons."
Durant Valentine had just made a steal from OU's Raymond Whitley and was headed for a dunk when he was shot down in mid-sair by learing Terry Stott.
However, he didn't expect what happened before halftime at 13:31.
Virtentine looked angry at Stotts, then appeared calm. The crowd went beserk after she stopped to look. The stopper stopped to go for QUI's bench, namely Sooner coach Dave Bliss. John McCullough intercepted the forious Owens and a swine by Owens toward him.
BUT SOME SHOVES and pushes did before reference John Dabrow helped McCallough contain Owens. Bob Hill and Lafayette Norwood, Owens' assistants, were trying to restore order, along with OU trainer Kun Rawlinson.
After the game. Owens was still hot.
"Everybody in the league is knocking Darnell down," Owens said, "and the officials aren't doing anything about it. I'm not going to let them take shots at our players."
"I don't know, Terry Stories is probably a nice young man, but I'm tired of teams trying to do bodily harm to my players. A game for that type of flagrant foul."
Bliss didn't say much after the game, and his team wasn't talking to the press. The Sooner coach didn't like Owens' charge.
"I thought it was somewhat untengertemly of him to run toward me like that. 'Bless said. 'Terry wasn't trying to be mad. Things like that are part of the game."
"TED GOT CARRIED away and just overreacted."
Valentine didn't overreact after the game.
"It's not that big of a thing," KU's star said about the foul.
Yesterday, Neinas differed from Owens' charge that the officials have taken no action to deter such incidents.
"I totally disagree with Coach Owens",
the commissioner said. "The game is in
the hands of the officials and the officials
are handling it. Coach Owens' piece
is on the bench."
"The point so often overlooked is that when there are difficulties in a game, the people who are in best control of them have no choice themselves. That was the case last night."
Bad luck shows in track results
Besides KU, the meet comprises teams from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas State and Nebraska.
The Jayhawks had hoped their performance in the meet would give them momentum into this weekend's Big Eight Championship meet in Lincoln, Neb.
"A lot of little things went wrong," women's track coach Teri Anderson said. "They were unfortunate things that normally don't happen to us. Things like slow starts, jumping the gun and running into people."
A start blow hurt Lari Lowrey in the finals of the 69-air hurdles. She finished second out of 10.
KU'S BIG misfortune occurred in the mile run. Michelle Brown was leading the race with one lap to go when she ran into another player, Emma Walker. Brown took second place with a time of 5:06.
KU spinner Lori Green was disqualified for jumping the gun in the finals of the 60-dash dash. Teammate Calmes Calmer second in the race with a time of 6.94.
Green bounced back and finished second in the 300-yard run with a time of 35.32. Calmness qualified for nationals in the 300 by finishing third with a time of 35.74.
Besides Calmie qualifying for nationals in the 60, KU's other bright spot was in the long jump. Shawn Corwin qualified for nationals by placing fourth with a jump of 8.35.

The women's team lost 135.05-123.2. Snow said KU had performed inconsistently and had had its troubles compounded by Nebraska, its best performance of the year.
