Taylor led the鞍山 scoring with 22 points, 16 of them in the second half. Guy canned 12 for Kansas. The victory boosted KU's record to 2-0. Hot-handed Crawford setting goals yet higher Sports Writer By BILL BUZBEE Forward John Crawford played the best game of his collegiate career Saturday against Murray State, but the 6-7 sophomore was far from satisfied. Sports "I know I can play better defense," he said after the game. "And on offense, there were a lot of things I could have done better." Crawford led KU in rebounds, with eight, and his 20-point offensive boost was one of the best in the league. "Except for the first three minutes with John Crawford playing and the first of the second half there wasn't much to get excited about," head basketball coach Ted Owens said. "Crawford needed a good game. He's played extremely well in practice." Crawford said he didn't plan on resting. *IF YOU'RE SATISFIED with the way you play a game, there's no way you're playing.* But Crawford said he saw a lot of improvement in his performance Saturday. "It was my best game, no question," he said. "It was the only game I've played." Women cagers split 2 in Texas Lynette Woodard continued to be KU's hot hand in two women's basketball games in Texas this weekend as KU won one and lost one. In Friday's loss to Wayland Baptist, Woodard found herself in a scoring duel with All-America Jill Rankin, 6-3 Wayland center. The Jayhawks' sophomore forward tallied 68 points and pulled down 34 rebounds in games against Wayland Baptist and Texas Tech Universities. Kansas splined the games. Rankin won the battle, scoring 46 points to Woodward's 3, and Wayland won the game 81-78. KU coach Martin Washington called for the games played this season by the Javahans. The game was closely fought—each team scored 38 points in the second half and 45 in the third. lead at any time. Kansas managed to pull ahead 65-60 in the closing minutes, only to lose in the final minute after Wayland pulled away from a 78-78 deadlock. In Saturday's game against Texas Tech, Woodard again provided the bulk of KU's offense. The Tigers scored 13 points and Adrian Mitchell backed up Woodward with 15 points and Pat Mason scored 10. Mitchell scored 24 points. Unlike the Wayland game, Kansas jumped to a 40-22 halftime advantage. The Jayhawks won 76-53 to grab their fourth victory of the season. next opponent. The game is at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House. CMS brings a line-up similar in height to KU's, including 6-2 freshman Lisa Brumnett and 6-5 sophomore Terri Carpenter. The team lost the first game KU beat BCM last season 63-43 on the KANSAS, ranked 15th, is #4 this season and fifth in h-ranked-Wayland Baptist Hospital.

NC State coach rejects KU job After the announcement Friday that Rein had renewed his contract, he said, "I nor knew what was going to happen with speculation going around recently, but I think it's best to make a statement and put pressure on them." In three years as head football coach, Bein has led the North Carolina State team to seven ACC titles. Marcum talked to Rein about the KU football coaching job day. But Friday Renewed a multi-year contract to stay at North Carolina State. Radio and television stations in North Carolina last week were saying that Rein had been offered coaching jobs at KU and the University of Arkansas. Marcum said, "I visited with Rein about the job and details about the job were discussed. He said he would think about it. Later he said he wasn't going to do it." Marcum had given permission to the Athletic Board to negotiate a contract with Ramsay. Rein and Marcum have known each other since 1983 when Marcum was the offensive coordinator at a Niles, Ohio, high school where Rein played football. University Daily Kansan Crawford gave two reasons for his performance—he played the game as he had practiced, and he concentrated on rebounding. "Coach told me to play like I did in practice," he said. "I was moving around instead of standing—looking for the open spots. "I also set a goal for myself—10 rebounds." Crawford didn't hit his rebound goal, but after having to sit out the spring semester last season because of bad grades, he said, he's happy just to be playing. "I have that off my conscience now," he said. "I don't expect to be ineligible any time." KU wins 81-66 "Last year it started reflecting on my physical and I think about愣ed and couldn't play." There is a sign tacked to the wall of the KU men's basketball dressing room. It shows that Texas, Indiana, Alabama and Oklahoma were beaten by schools of little "Sometimes I felt like leaving—like going home. I glad I stuck it out." Owens also must be glad Crawford stuck it out. Crawford said he just wanted to work on improving." "don't have to worry about the books any more." Bv LEON UNRUH Sports Editor And it admonishes, "See what happens when you are not prepared!" Saturday night the unprepared Jayhawks beat Murray State 81-46 in a game that many figured should have been decided by 30 points. KU coach Ted Owens shook his head and said he hoped the 'Hawks would be more awake for another small school, Boise State, which plays KU at 7:35 tonight in Allen Field "I'm hopeful something can come from within them," he said. "All I can do is get out and look at it." "EVERYBODY TOOK it for granted," he said. "We just weren't ready for it." Guard Moe Fowler wasn't very happy their less-than-awesome per- formance. For sure, KU shot 53 percent from the field and outbounded the Racers. But the Jayhawks, 24, hardly looked like the Chargers, team even, if their opponent was little MSU. Owens summed up KU's play in a single word. "Terrible." KU got sparkling performances from a pair of starters—Darrinn Valentine and John Crawford. Valentine popped in a career high at 23 points and Crawford shot a career high of 20. Crawford, a sophomore with sky-hoof learning ability, hit nine of 11. But aside from Tony Guy's dozen points, nobody else reached double figures. The players had to be careful. "When you don't execute any better than we did against it, any zone is good." Owens said of the defenders. "You gotta move the ball to make the defense shift. It's just automatic. You gotta get the defenses on." Indicatively, big-man Paul Mokesi shot only six times, making two. "Instead of passing," Owens said, "we passed two or three times and took a 25-foot shot. That'll get you in the second division of the Big Eight Conference." Murray State, now 0-2, opened the game with a slow-down offense that hold everyone scoreless for more than two minutes. Then Crawford started shooting. He hit a lay-in and a corner shot and then stretched far above the rim to slam down a follow shot. Guy hit a jumper, then ran up and grabbed more baskets. It was 12-4 after six minutes. Moksiak and Guy soon picked up their third fours and had to play cautiously. But they didn't bother to back him, leaving it on. KU's offense spurted again to open the second half, outsourcing the Racers 10-2 in the first five minutes. Valentine had two breakaway layups and reserve Mac Stallcup got a pair of baskets as the Jayhawks stepped out by 29, 50-30. **Subbattees playkey to music of the rest of** **SUBBATTEES playkey to music of the rest of** **the rest of** "They came in here playing a highly favored team on their home court. I don't like that strategy, but I don't blame them," he said. Alen Mann's seven points, to 28 at noontime. KU led with 40. OWENS DIDN'T criticize the MSU coach running—or walking—the wide-open open space. KU's inconsistent play disturbed Owens. "I tired of talking about spurs," he said. "Except for the first three minutes with John Crawford playing and the first of them there wasn't anything to be excited about." MSU'S Roy Taylor finished with 22 points, all from the field. John Randall, who got 12 points, and Keith Oglesby each had nine rebounds—the best in the game. VALENTINE WASN'T excited at all about his night. He went one for five at the free-throw line during one stretch of the first half. "I came out in the second half and told myself I was going to make them," he said. "If I miss I'm not going to let it bother me as much as it did in the first half." "The season's still young and thing's aren't going too well. I'm not too worried. I'll stick to it." | | PL | FT | REB | PF | TP | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Randall | 15 | 3 | 2 | 9 | 12 | | Boudreau | 41 | 10 | 3 | 6 | 12 | | Mann | 3-11 | 1-3 | 3 | 4 | 7 | | Jackson | 15,28 | 1-3 | 6 | 4 | 25 | | Taylor | 60 | 0-4 | 3 | 4 | 10 | | Hammonds | 1-3 | 0-1 | 2 | 0 | 2 | | Dierckes | 3-1 | 0-4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | | Larkin | 9-1 | 0-2 | 1 | 0 | 2 | | McNeil | 0-1 | 0-0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | Adams | 2-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Sombrowik B | 6-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Leffler | 1-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | | Birch | 3-1 | 0-1 | 3 | 0 | 2 | | Total | 30-48 | 4-11 | 35 | 22 | 10 | FL PL FT REB PF TP T2 Gay 6-11 0-3 6 4 12 Crawford 6-11 0-3 6 4 12 Makioka 2-6 0-2 4 4 4 Pinker 2-6 0-2 4 4 4 Hancock 6-13 7-12 4 4 23 Mallopk 8-13 7-12 4 4 23 Menlo 3-6 0-2 4 2 6 Sanders 3-6 0-2 4 2 6 Smith 0-6 0-0 0 0 0 Giles 1-4 0-0 3 1 2 Kimberly 1-4 0-0 3 1 2 Magglie 0-1 0-0 1 0 0 Mackey 6-11 6-12 13 13 12 Officials in Joe M.
