Darrell Valentine (14) is fouled while attempting a打斗 by Colorado's Jack Magno in KU's 56-51 victory last night. Valentine had just made a steal and was kicked to the floor by Magno, resulting in a long chorus of boos from KU fans. Valentine made one of his two free throws.
Free throws help KU win, 56-51

Kansas used late free throws to build a one-point lead into a 56-51 victory over
Demonstrating that they could win a close contest, the Jayhawks hit six straight points from the stripe in the final 24 seconds after losing an 11-pointer to lose 10 almost palms of坏掉 turnovers.
Molekowski, who scored a game-high 22 points, was on the way to his third goal. go KU bid just gotten the ball after CU's Brian Johnson stepped out of bounds with the score in Kansas" favor,
Awesome for his third game in a row, Mokeski made both ends of a one-and-one, giving KU a three-point lead. Emmett Lewis, who is the conference's leading scorer, took the ball down court and missed a shot from the ton of the key.
KU GOT THE rebound, and Tony Guy, who had been as cold as the weather, was pouled by Johnson. With 13 seconds left, Guy made up for his one-of-seven field goal attempts and half of his total points as he completed the bonus, pushing KU ahead. 5449.
The Buffalohes hurried the ball down court and forced a shot. Mokeski was fouled by Lewis on the rebound and again perfected a bonus with six seconds left. Toney Ellis hit CU's last bucket with only a second showing.
"But on the last two (one-and-one's) I just had to concentrate on them and block everything out of my mind. We finally won a close one and it really feels good."
"When we went from 11 points up to four
points up," he said, "I missed one-two-and-
three."
GUY SAID he was not performing well offensively, so instead he concentrated on defense. But when the crucial free throw came, he concentrated on it.
"I couldn't worry about how poorly I was shooting," Guy said. "I had to think about the team. When I went to the line I just knew what he was going to do or buts—that's what 'Bit Mor' thought, too."
"The two free throws make up for everything. When it came down to the wire,
The 11,800 fans often were wondering if the Jayhawks were indeed in the game after the lead was lost. KU had to play catch-up ball in the second half. Colorado edged the Rockets 4-3 in left the second half when KU gave that up three times in two minutes on turnovers.
COLORADO HAD everyone puzzled when he found out that his team minutes to go and KU on top 50, had leaded by two more Mokesi free throws. Mokesi hit eight of 10 charities, six in the box.
KU stayed in a zone while the Buffaloes whittled down the clock until Darnell Valentine knocked a pass out of bounds at 1:58. He then scored in inbound passes, and got the ball at 1:58 when
Celtics after Bird—again
By the Associated Press
Three first-round draft picks plus All-American Larry Bird—that's what awaits the Boston Celtics at the end of this long National Basketball Association season.
The Celtics may be stumbling now, but it
Defense coach quits
Dennis Fryzel, signed earlier this month as defensive coordinator for the KU football team, has left Kansas to take the same job at Ohio State University.
Don Fambrough, Kansas head football coach, said that Fryel had been recommended to him by Earle Bruce, at the time head coach at Iowa State University.
But when Bruce went to Ohio State to replace Wyden Hayes, he 'just had to offer him a chance.'
Fryzel grew up in Ohio and coached under Bruce at the University of Tampa in 1972.
"I'm not worried at all about replacing Danny," said Farrumb. "I'll get something new."
"It just botheres me that I have to hire a coach now, when I would much rather be trained."
shouldn't take long for them to right themselves. Red Auerbach drafts strategy cards.
Boston has until the June 25 draft to sign Bird, a 6-0 forward from Indiana State who leads the nation's college players in scoring. The Celtics drafted Bird on the first round last year, but he chose to remain in school for his final year of eligibility.
THEN THERE are the three first-round choices. Besides their own, the Celtics picked up Seattle's No. 1 for backup center and picked up Philadelphia's top choice for 10-year team (ago).
Also, the Celtics recently obtained Rick Robey, Indiana's top pick last year. And they're taking a look at a couple of free throws from Barker and forward Frankie Sanders.
Auerbach wouldn't rule out further deals, but right now the Celtics are in good position. "We might just go straight to the draft," Auerbach said.
The Golden State Warriors feel the acquisition of Jo Do White, a member of Boston's 1974 and 1976 title teams, could help the depth they need to make the playoffs.
LATE NBASCORES Atlanta 150—Kansas City 118
Johnson missed a shot. It was still scary when Valentine fouled out on a charge against Ellis with 1:16 and Colorado regained possession.
The delay offense prevented any field goals other than Valentine's lay-in at 7:44 from a Mokeki pass until Ellis hit his last-second shot.
Valentine, who said he hurt his right hand, which already had four stitches in it, when he fell on top of it, led KU with four assists. He also had seven turnovers. He was op-posed to KU, now 3-4 and tied for third with three players, and its chance in the conference race.
"As many as we've lost," he said, "we have to know by now what it takes to win. Some guys sucked it up tonight - Paul and Evan sucked it up the free throw line and did a fantastic job.
"If we keep going we can look back on that we'll eventually come out but we can't."

Darnell Valentine is at the line for two- with the score tied and six minutes left in the game.
"I M'EVER disappointed when the队 pauses hard. For God's sake, we've only got two minutes."
Then they shoot. Brian Johnson drives for layup, which is blocked against the boards by a defender.
"Was it goaltending? I thought it was goalattending," he said after the game. Emotionally drained, he was looking for a reason to explain his team's 5-61 loss to Kansas.
But he wasn't disappointed in his team's performance.
For Colorado coach Bill Blair, that shot was the turning point in the ball game.
Colorado has only nine players who are neither injured nor inable to play. The

team started off the season surprisingly well, for a group with only two senior starters. It was 10-1 before meeting in the Big Eight holiday tournament.
But last week, three players were declared academically ineligible for the remainder of the season and another broke his hand. That left nine men on the team.
"WE HAVE no front line after the starers," Blair said. "Our first seat is a 620-seat plane."
"After I work with these guys for three years, they'll be a hell of a team."
"Most of the guys were freshmen last year, but I played them and they got beat to death. Now they're sophomores, but they're sophomores with a view of a playin' day."
Tonight some things did go wrong, Blair said.
Men gymnasts host meet today
The men's gymnastics team will host New Mexico State Junior College today at 4 p.m. (7 p.m.) at the El Paso Civic Center.
Bob Lockwood, men's gymnastics coach, said he thought the team would turn in one of its better performances of the season because it would be performing on familiar equipment. However, he said, New Mexico should give KU competition.
