'Hawks seek first road win against Cowboys
Defense looks to stop 'tough human' Wilson

Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones awarded two game balls after the Cowboys gunned down Missouri 48-28 last week.
One ball went to Oklahoma State president John Campbell. The second was awarded to a player for only the second time in Jones' seven years as coach.
The player, fullback Cecil Wilson, joined former tailback Thurman Thomas as the two players who have received game balls. Not even Harry Sanders, the 1988 Heisman winner, has a game ball on his mantle.
("Wilson) is the toughest human being we have ever had in this program," Jones said. "I can't say enough about that guy. Physically, mentally, emotionally, every aspect of him can use to describe that guy, be it."
Wilson was one of the players who helped Oklahoma State dominate Missouri and raise its home record to 3-1. The Cowboys are 3-5 overall.
Tomorrow, Kansas will try to stop Wilson when the team visits Stillwater for the Jayhawks' final away game of the season.
Like Kansas, Oklahoma State searched last week for the spark that would rekindle the team's offensive attack. In the Cowboy's previous four games, they were outsured 136-58, including a loss to Kansas State.
Kansas coach Glen Mason had questioned the effectiveness of his offense, which gained only three yards in the first quarter of Colorado's game.
But Mason said some questions had

The Jayhawks, however, will have some changes in their line up tomorrow. Tight end Chad Fette will not play because of an irregular heart beat, and fullback Roger Robben will start in place of Maurice Douglas.
Jones may have found what he was looking for when Oklahoma State gained 521 yards in offense last week against the Tigers. It was an offensive output highlighted by the play of tailback Gerald Hudson.
'K-State was a big boost for us because we put a lot of heart into it, and we're going to use that as a stepping stone.'
Hudson gained 255 yards on 34 carries and has become one of the nation's leading rushers, gaining 1.109 yards this season.

Although Hudson had to miss three games last year because of a knee injury, he still rushed for 910 yards and performed performance against Ohio State.
In addition to Hudson and Wilson, another threat in the Cowboys' ground attack comes from quarterback Kenny Ford.
Ford was the team's second leading rusher last week, gaining 90 points. He also had 126 yards passing and completed 53 percent of his passes.
Oklahoma State has used three quarterbacks this season. Each has

attempted at least 40 passes and started two games.
Mason said the Cowboys seemed to have settled on Ford as their starter for tomorrow's game.
He also said he was surprised by the score of the Missouri-Oklahoma State game.
"After our game was over, I was riding in the car with my son, and I listened to Missouri brought the game to within five." Mason said. "I left him in the car, for what seemed like no problem, when I got back. OSU was up by 20."
Mason said that in order to beat the Cowboys, Kansas had to stop the run. The problem in concentrating on stopping the run, Mason said, was that Oklahoma State can pass well also.
The Cowboys have been plagued with fumbles this season.
Through eight games, Oklahoma State has fumbled 31 times. However, the Cowboys have recovered 18 of the fumbles.
Oklahoma State's defense features cornerback Mike Clark, who had two interceptions last week, bringing his season total to four. Linebacker Richie Ansley also had an interception against Missouri.
Kansas defensive lineman Lance Flachsbarth said the team would like to take out its frustrations on the Cowboys.
"It's really frustrating to go out week after week and face losses, even though we've been playing pretty well," Flachsbarth said. "K-State was a big boost for us because we put a lot of heart into it, and we're going to use that as a stepping stone."

Team hopes to solidify playoff spot
Win tonight could alleviate pressure

Volleyball
Heading into tonight's match against Iowa State at 7:30 in Allen Field House, the Kansas volleyball team occupies the hot spot in the race to qualify for a trip to the Big Eight Conference postseason tournament.
The fourth place spot is a pivotal one in the conference because only four teams qualify for the tournament. The Jayhawks held the No. 4 position for the greater part of the conference season.
Coach Frankie Albitz said occupancy of the spot had turned Kansas into the team that schools behind it in the conference race were chasing.
"We're kind of a target for all the teams that are scratched to get into the tournament," she said. "Fourth is a horrible position, but you can't complain because you get to go to the Big Eight tournament. Other than that, it's terrible. Everyone is hitting at you.
"We would like to get out of fourth place, on the upside. But I'm not complaining. Fourth is better than fifth."
Second place Iowa State comes into tonight's match after a big win one week ago against Colorado. Colorado dropped from a first-place tie to third place after losses to the Cyclones and Nebraska last week.
"Or maybe stabilizing is the right word," she said. "They seem to be rising to the occasion. They know what they want to play Iowa State again."
Although the Cyclones beat Kansas in three games Oct. 6 in Ames, Iowa State will be facing a team tonight peaking at the right time, Albizt said.
Senior hitter Lisa Patterson said that the Jayhawks were developing confidence.
"I think the team feels strong right now," she said. "The stones are clicking for us. We're definitely peaking right now. Ever since the Oklahoma match, we've felt like we've been climbing."
The Oklahoma match, a five-game win last Friday, was followed by a Kansas blowout of the University of Tulsa on Saturday and a narrow loss
In the earlier loss to Iowa State, Patterson said the Jayhawks' blocking had failed.
Patterson said that the well played match with the powerful Cornhuskers had told the Jayhawks something.
"It tells us that we don't need to lose games to teams like Iowa State and Colorado," she said.
Albitz said that in addition to Albitz on working on blocking for tonight's match, the Jayhawks were putting an emphasis on strong serving.
10 fourth-ranked Nebraska on Tuesday.
"If we could win this, it would take a little of pressure off." Albit said. "Pressure gets in the way if you don't handle it right. I'd like to see some of that taken away. So far, though, the team seems to have handled it well."

Buffs carry rivalry to 'Husker's home
On the men's side, all three Kansas tennis players were eliminated in the first round of play yesterday in the Volvo All-American tournament in
Athens, Ga.
Senior All-American John Fahoe, who is ranked 23rd in the Volvo Tennis/College Rankings, lost to the San Antonio Spurs in a tense victory 7-5, 6-2. Receiver is ranked 18th.
Seniors Chris Walker and Craig Wilde, ranked 20th in doubles, lost to Alex O'Brien and Jase Yee at Stanford 6.4- 6.2. O'Brien and Yee are ranked No. 2 and were seeded second in the tournament.
Last year, before and after Colorado's 27-21 victory over Nebraska in Boulder, Nebraska fans complained of abuse from Buffalo backers. Cars with Nebraska license plates were vandalized. Denver-based radio talk shows seemed to have "Degrade the umms carried cutting attacks on Nebraska, its people and its football teams."
LINCOLN, Neb. — Bad blood is something that is new to the Colorado-Nebraska football series. Cornhusher coach Tom Osborne isn't certain where it originated, but he'd like to see it end.
This year, many say they can't wait until 3 p.m. tomorrow when No. 3 Nebraska, which is 8-4 overall and 4-0 in the Big Eight, will play host to the Colorado, which is 7-1 and 4-0. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
To say some Nebraskas didn't like the way they were treated would be an understatement. To say they remember it is accurate. To say they blame Colorado coach Bill McCartney for pointing too many fingers at his designated rival, Nebraska, is the assessment of McCartney himself.
When McCarrney began to rebuild the fortunes of Colorado football he pointed to Nebraska and said that was the program he wanted to duplicate. He made the Huskers his designated rival to target the nation's most consistent winning program under Osborne.
Despite the actions of some Colorado fans last year, McCartney said he did not expect problems in Lincoln.
"Nebraska fans have always displayed a lot of class when we've gone there to play." McCartney said. "They've always showed me they were a cut above, and I think they'll be that way for this game."
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne did not see the need for animosity between the teams.
"I'm really sorry to see that, because we've never declared a rival." Osborne said. "Maybe that's a failing on my part. Maybe I don't understand football.
"Our fans and players have certainly felt a strong rivalry with Oklahoma, mainly because we've been in the position and this is the way it is here too."
"I't just two teams playing for a lot. But in the Oklahoma series there's not been to my knowledge a lot of animosity. We've always respected their coaches, their playful and cheeky personalities here. Colorado has a fine team, a good coach and staff. I suspect they will be treated well in Lincoln."
Heavyweight champ says he won't fight Tyson first
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Heavyweight champion Evander Hollyfield responded yesterday to reports that the World Boxing Council might strip him of his title unless he makes his first title defense against ex-champ Mike Tyson instead of George Foreman.
"I believe that Foreman and Tyson are both ex-champions and both worthy contenders. I plan to give both of them the opportunity to fight for my title in 1991, beginning with Foreman sometime in March or April.
"All I want to receive are the same rights and the same respect that is given to any No. 1 contender who wins a championship," he said. "I waited patiently for my turn to win, but the challenger will not deny any worthy challenger the opportunity to fight me as long as I am champ.
In the days before Hollyfield knocked out Buster Douglas to win the championship last week, pro footballer Phil Kerr was from the three ruling bodies ordering
"I believe all boxing fans want one undisputed heavyweight champion, and that title should be won and lost in the ring."
the winner to fight Tyson next.
The International Boxing Federation and the World Boxing Association backed off that position, but the WBC says it is sticking to it and is threatening to strip Holyfield of his title if he fights Foreman first.
The jury of five women and one man deliberated less than an hour before deciding Tyson did not have to pay Sandra Miller additional damages, and ordered Tyson to pay $100 in compensatory damages for the incident.
Miller's lawyers had sought $2.5 million to punish Tyson for the incident, which occurred Dec. 10, 1988, at Bentley's Disco.
Tyson, meanwhile, wan a unanimous decision yesterday when a jury decided he should pay no punitive fee and blamed a woman in a Manhattan disco.
"I'm just happy they saw it as the truth," said Tyson, who denied the incident ever happened.
Supporters, including boxing promoter Don Kemper, swarmed around Tyson in the courtroom, congratulating him on the decision. Tyson jokingly pulled a $100 bill from his jacket and placed it on his forehead.
