Kansas looks forward to OU

It's an uncommon coaching strategy to encourage your team to look past its next opponent to prepare for a future match.
Volleyball
But Kansas volleyball coach Frankie Alitz has given her team reason to do just that by gearing up for Friday's match with Oklahoma while awauring tonight's 7:30 game against Missouri State in Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks have been watching films of the Oklahoma team and preparing for Friday's match while
not putting any specific work into the match against CMSU.
"We're not preparing for CMSU because we need to beat OU on Friday," she said.
Albiz said that she would tell her players about the CMSU team before the game but that if they lost to the Mules she couldn't complain.
She said the lack of preparation might give the Jayhawks a mental advantage.
"It might make them more awake," Albiz said. "Thinking that they're not quite as prepared might mean they've had to just take the pressure off of them."
"I would hate to lose," she said.
"But if we do, we'll slide by it."
Though CMSU is an NCAA Division II school, Albizia said it was usually one of the top three teams among the smaller schools.
Sophomore Lisa Seigle said that while the Kansas team was not gearing up for the Mules, it would be ready for a tough match.
"We shouldn't take them too lightly," she said. "We need to win so that we can keep our confidence up and conference match this weekend."
"We haven't seen films on them, since our focus has been on Oklahoma." Seigle said. "But tomorrow we will see the movies like we would any other opponent."
Last season, in Warrensburg, the
Jayhawks lost to CMSU in four games. Albizt said Kansas scheduled the Mules only once a season
because NCAA rules state they can play non-division I schools for only 20 percent of their matches.
Seigle said the Mules enjoyed the chance to play Kansas.
"I always feel that if they're that good, maybe you owe them that courtesy (of playing them)."

Six groups will try to excite football fans with homecoming pep rally Friday night

As Nolan Cromwell dropped back and fired a touchdown pass, the packed crowd at Memorial Stadium became alive with cheers, overpowering the sounds of the band in the crisp October air.
This was 11-year-old David Platt's favorite time of year.
Platt and his brother would run plays just like Cromwell with a Nerf football through the crowd on the hill, through the atmosphere was almost electric.
Once or twice every season, Platt would sit on the hill with his father and younger brother and become a coach and excitement of college football.
Now, as director of Joseph R Pearson Hall, Platt said he was trying to bring back that excitement when he learned that Potter Lake as part of homecoming
festivities.
S six campus groups are sponsoring the event, which will begin at 7 p.m. and feature the Kansas band, short film by Troy Gunn, and dance by football coach Pat Ruel.
"This kind of seems like a reamence of KU football, and I think it a good time to re-establish some of the past traditions." Platt said. "They were introduced in 1965, but this is the first time all the living groups got so excited about it."
In addition to JRP, sponsors of the event are Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall, Delta Chi fraternity, Black Student Union, Phi Beta Sigma fraternity and Gamma_Phi Beta sorority.
"Each group will do approximately a 5 minute skit in addition to the other events," Platt said. "We started planning it about a month ago, but really got going on it about two weeks ago."
Kelly Whelan, social chairman of Gamma Beta, said she hoped that the close working relationship between the residence halls and the greek system would break down the greek system that Greek members are snobs.
She said another long-standing stereotype she wanted to break was that women don't enjoy watching football.
"There are a lot of girls in the house that have friends at K-State, and we love to call them up and haze them." Whelan said. "They left a recording on our answering machine about the Blue Chicken Hawks."
Although the University of Kansas has not had a Homecoming Day king and queen for more than 20 years, BSU plans to name an Afro-American king and queen Friday night during the event.
said that he thought the effort was great and that he hoped he could see the same kind of enthusiasm during the game Saturday.
"We have the greatest basketball fans in the nation." Helt said. "My dream is that one day the students win the national championship and emphasize for the football team."
Kip Helt, director of marketing.
Helt plans to have a homecoming party by the end zone from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Helt said that the group who had the most members at the party would win the opportunity to have the "Glen show" taped at the group's residence.
Whelan said she thought the Gamma Phi Beta house was where Mason should have his film filmed.
"I know of 90 girls that can just run down from the house because we're so close," Whelan said. "Besides, I always wear a red shirt and taped here, we'd treat him it."

The Kansas women's tennis team received a boost of confidence and a lesson in what to expect during the fall season during last weekend's Indiana Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., coach Michael Center said.
"The competition was good and allowed us to play a lot of matches." Center said. "We also saw what we really need to work on. We need to get better. I think everyone knows that."
He said the Kansas women fared well in the singles competition but did not play up to their potential in the doubles.
Two Kansas women had victories over nationally-ranked players
Center said the main purpose of the fall season's tournaments was to provide the opportunity for the players to compete in many matches. He also noted that the freshmen players are important for the freshmen players as a means of gaining experience.
Junior Renee Rayhachuhdi urested Jennie Moe of Minnesota 6-4, 7-6 in the four-fourth spot in the Flight A singles. Moe is Rank No. 46 in the Volvo Tennis/Collegiate Tennis rankings.
Center said the victory was an important one for Raychaudhuri.
"It was a big win, especially in that she beat the No. 46 player in straight sets," Center said.
Rachaydhurt said, "I was really happy. I've been wanting to get a good win. It was a great opportunity to out out with a great attitude and won."
She said that despite playing a good match, she knew there still were areas she could improve on and that he sure and in last weekend's match.
Rachaudhuira said she had played Moe a few years ago in the junior division. That match did not play a role in the victory in Bloomington, though, she said.
She said the victory gave her confidence for future tournaments. Rayachduhuri will play next week with teammates junior Laura Hagemann, sophomore Chris Bowers and freshman Aby Woods in the Rolex Indoor Regional Qualifier in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Junior All-American and No. 9 ranked Eveline Hamers also had another victory last weekend. She defeated Indiana's 22nd-ranked Deborah Edelman to win the tournament 7-6, 6-1.

He pleaded guilty and spent three months in a federal prison and another three months in a halfway house. He was sentenced to three years of probation.
The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the conviction in May.
The National Hockey League reinstated Probern on March 9 at the request of the Detroit Red Wings after an 80-game suspension. But he hasn't been able to travel with the team. His MLB's MLBs dian teams because he would be denied permission to resent the United States.

Douglas, Holyfield anxious to start heavyweight championship conflict
Both boxers anticipate non-stop action in the 12-round bout
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — James "Buster" Douglas sees the past in his future.
"I look for a busy fight such as the Tyson Fury—a lot of action," Douglas said yesterday. At an outdoor arena tomorrow at the Mirage, Douglas will defend his heavyweight championship against unbeaten Evander Holfield.
Nonshop action is what Hollyfear plans. The 8-5 favorite wants to make stamina the name of the game.
"that pace is a pace no other heavyweight can keep up with," said Tim Hallmark, Holyfield's condition coach.
Holfyfield, 28, said, "Conditioning can make a difference in the last three rounds." The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds.
Douglas, who is much bigger than Hollyfield, isn't buying the endurance test theory.
"The longer the fight goes, it will favor me because of my size and mobility," said the 6-foot-4 Douglas, "I feel real strongly it will be in my favor the longer the fight goes."
Holyfield said that Douglas would not control tomorrow's fight as he did in his match against Mike Tyson.
"I feel that Tyson let Buster Douglas do what Buster wanted to" Hollyfield said. "Buster dictated the pace. Buster opened the show. Buster closed the show. Buster opened the ring, I have to be the general."
condition.
There has been much speculation about Douglas' physical
"It's all starting to come together like it did for the Tyson fight," said Douglas, 30, who apologized to the point of being laid back.
As for his weight, Douglas said,
"I'm comfortable where I am
right now and I will come close to it
when the title than I fought for the
'The longer the fight goes, it will favor me because of my size and mobility. I feel real strongly it will be in my favor the longer the fight goes.'
“
— James "Buster" Douglas
"I stretch him." Kennett said, adding that she had not taught him any dance steps.
”
Of course, there is Holyfield's veteran trainer George Benton.
Holyfield said he expected to weigh in officially today at 210 pounds. In his six fights as a heavyweight, the former Olympic world cruiserweight champion weighted from 202 to 123 pounds.
Douglas, who won the title waw-
shocking 10-tour knockout of Tyson on Feb. 11 in Tokyo, weighed about 230 pounds for the fight, which was around 10 pounds less than he was for his previous bout.
Besides a conditioning coach,
Holiday基金 has Lee Haney and
Chase Jordan as strength coaches,
and she teaches the teacher as a flexibility coach.
"Everything is scientific now." Benton said of Holyfield's regimen that goes far beyond traditional boxing training routines.
The two fighters met on the daisy yesterday for a final pre-fight news conference.
While both Douglass and Holyfield have given many interviews, neither seems to enjoy the hoona that precedes big fights.
"I'm not into the hype stuff," Douglas said. "John (Johnson, Douglas's manager) and Lou (Baker, the trainee) have been going on."
Missing from the news conference were the booming voice and crackling laughter of promoter Don King.
As part of the settlement of King and Douglas' breach-of-contract suits against one another, King is not part of this promotion. He received $4 million payment and has option to promote future胜利。
The settlement states that Douglas must give Tyson a rematch if he beats Hollyford. King said he had letters from the International Boxing Federation, World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association stating that if Douglas, he must next fight Tyson.
Dvaa said Holfyfield had signed a contract to fight George Foreman regardless of tomorrow night's outcome.
