'Hawks-Buffs rivalry based on coaches' past employers
By Rob Wheat
Kansan sportswriter
Football
Many say that the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is one of the fiercest in college football. In the old days, however, it used to be war.
Former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and former Michigan coach Bo Schembeccher would scream at each other from across the sidelines. Every game was a life-or-death situation.
In the shadow of this battle was former Buckeye offensive coordinator Glen Mason and former Wolverine defensive coordinator Bill McCartney, each trying to outguess the other.
Though the struggle is over for Hayes and Schembechler, the war rages on for Mason, now Kansas coach, and McCartney, now Colorado's coach, when Kansas plays host Colorado tomorrow on Parents' day.
Mason is 0.2 against Colorado over the last two seasons. But in 1985, his final year as an assistant coach at Ohio State, the Buckeyes defeated McCartney and the Buffalooes, 35-13 in Boulder, Colo.
Coaching decisions may play an important role in tomorrow's game because both teams have key players who are injured. Kansas wide receiver Jim New and linebacker Curtis Jones were listed as injured and will not play.
Jayhawk running back Tony Sands
and Colorado back Eric Bieniemy both are listed as probable starters. Sands suffered a deep high bruise last week against Miami.
Bieniemy hurt his left shoulder in the Buffaloes' game against Iowa State. Last season against the Cyclones he broke his leg, an injury that sidelined him until the Orange Bowl game.
"My shoulder has been banged up since last week," Bieniemy said. "A victory is more important than any defeat." He's big Eight, and that's all that counts."
Bieniemy did not play in Colorado's season opener against third-ranked Tennessee, and tailback Kyle Rudolph picked up a rusher, with 217 yards on 29 carries.
Pritchard gained 56 yards on three attempts last week against Iowa State, and he is a big part of a rushing offense ranked 10th in the nation.
Pritchard was the Buffaloes' leading receiver last season with 12 receptions for 292 yards. His best game last season was against Iowa State when he caught four catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns.
Good news for both the Jayhawks and Colorado is the return of both of the school's starting quarterbacks.
Kansas quarterback Chip Hillary missed all but the first series of the Miami game with a shoulder bruise that he suffered in Iowa State. The team should start
Colorado quarterback Darian Hagan should return to his starting position after recovering from a sprained left shoulder.
week against the Cyclones in the second quarter after missing the Missouri game.
He completed seven of 13 passes for 68 yards and one touchdown, and he had 10 carries for 18 yards. Hagan will start in tomorrow's game.
Hagan finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting last year and was selected Player-of-the-Year by the Sporting News.
Hagan came off the bench last
Offensive guard Joe Garten, a consensus All-American last season, largely was responsible for protecting Hagan in 1989, enabling him to pass for 1,002 yards and gain 1,004 yards rushing.
Garten is the first offensive line man since 1970 to win consensus All America honors.
The threats against Kansas defensively are nose guard Joel Steed and linebacker线backer Williams.
Steed was named a preseason All-American by NFL Draft Report
Saturday will be the Jayhawks' first home game in five weeks, and though some players might head for the airport out of habit, safety Paul Friday said it would be good to return to Memorial Stadium.
Friday, the leading tackler last week, said he hoped the home jerseys were still around.
"I know they're around there somewhere, it will be nice to have to dig them up," Friday said.

KU netters to play winless Missouri
By Chris Oster
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team will play two Big Eight Conference matches this weekend, meeting Missouri tonight and Colorado tomor-
Volleyball
The two matches are important to the Jayhaws for different reasons. Coach Frank Albizt said the Missouri match was important to this conference race, while the Colorado match was a test for the program
Kansas meets Missouri at 8 o'clock in Allen Field House. Missouri has yet to win a Big Eight match this season. This is last year without a conference victory.
Albitz said the match was vital to the Jayhawks' postseason hopes.
Albitz said that Missouri had hurt Kansas in the past by using' the Jayhawks' outside blockers.
"If we want to go to the final four of the conference, we need to beat Missouri," she said. "Logically, we should beat them. But it's such an emotional and fast paced game, you have to win." Eight so you know they're hungry."
"Missouri should not be a test," she said. "We can't underestimate Missouri. That could be a problem, but they are more of a stick to your game plan and win a match that you really need. The test would be a
Colorado."
Kansas plays Colorado in another 8 p.m. match tomorrow in Allen Field House.
While Albizt wanted the Jayhaws to emphasize the Missouri match, senior Lisa Patterson said the team had not blocked out the Colorado
"Missouri has pretty much been our focus." Patterson said. "We've been watching films of their team. We're going into the Missouri match with confidence. But Colorado is in the game, so we mind. Everyone wants Colorado."
Despite the early season woes, Albitz said Colorado should come into the match optimistic.
The Buffs are currently 3-0 in the conference and 10-8 overall. They finished last season ranked 18th in the nation and second in the Big Eight. They were a preseason top-20 pick this year, but got off to a slow start. They began their year with a 3-6 run.
JV provides chance to achieve dreams
"It's very difficult to stop as far as the hitting is concerned," she said. "We might be able to do a little better and something is something we see a lot in practice."
"They're going to think that they can beat us," Albitz said. "Sometimes that's tough to get past."
Colorado runs an system similar to the offense Albine it used in her first years at Kansas. She said it should not team with deal to the Buffaloes attack.

You played basketball in high school. You were pretty good, in fact. But when it came time for college, you opted for the big-time education of the University of Kansas instead of a military career a smaller college offered.
Men's Basketball
Now you dream of wearing a Kansas uniform and sinking three-pointers in 1988's banner that hangs from the scoreboard in Allen Field House.
Well, here is your chance.
Truytoks for the Kansas junior varsity basketball team will be at p.t.p. Monday and Tuesday at Allen Field House.
Mark Turgeon, coach of the junior varsity team, said that every spot on the 15-man roster was open.
"Last year we had a good team, and I expected most of the players to come back," Turgeon said. "It didn't bannen."
"Some of the players moved closer to home, and some decided they couldn't spare the time. I thought I was going to know what we were working with, but now we have to build a whole new team."
Last year's team finished with an 11-9 record. Turgceen said that it would be difficult to predict this turnover and the scheduling method
"Two years ago we were 6,13, and everybody was calling us," he said. "After last year, which was our year in eight years, nobody calls anyone."
Jeff Knobel, Wilmette, Ill., senior is one player who intends to return.
"I've played for the last three years," he said. "When I first came out, I just wanted to be able to say I loved from the floor of Allen Field House."
"Then I wanted to be a part of Kansas basketball tradition. Now I want to suit up for varsity."

It could happen. For each of the past three seasons, one junior varsity player has been asked to sut up for
Turgeon said that Coach Roy Wilson told him that there was always the opportunity for junior varsity players to move up, depending upon the kind of players that the varsity needed.
Last year, Eric Ridouren suited up for four varsity games and played in two Ridouren. Cummerson senior, who led the team to the outside side of his knee during the summer.
some home games.
“I’d still be playing if I could,” he said. “Once you learn to manage your time, it’s just a lot of fun.”
said, "Once you learn to manage your time, it's just a lot of fun." In the 1988-89 season, Brad Kampschroeder was moved up to varsity for some home games. Knobel said that he thought Kampschroeder did not return to the team because he had accomplished all he could.
Perhaps the most famous JV alumnus is Marvin Mattos, also a Kansas football player, who moved up to the varsity during the 1987-88 season.
Knobel said that he remembered Mattox's speech in Memorial Stadium after the Javahaws won the
national championship.
"He said, 'I didn't get to play, but I got a ring. I knew then I wanted to play varsity," Knobel said.
Turgceen said that the junior varsity program, the only one in the Big Eight Conference, began in Fall 1983, Larry Brown's first year as coach.
"Couch Brown wanted to get the students involved." Turgeon said. "He wanted to make students feel like they were more a part of the team. It also gave an assistant coach an opportunity to show what he could do."
The Associated Press
Turgceen has been that assistant coach for three seasons. Since he has started, the number of people who have tried out has grown.
My first year, about 40 people tried out. Last year we had about 70," he said. "This year I'd like 80 or so.
Tigers' Smith says inquiry not important
"I just hope that players that enjoy the game give me a shot. If we can get players to come out that want to win, that want to be successful, we will. We just have to put the time and effort into it."
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Senior Doug Skipp said yesterday that members of the Missouri basketball team were not concerned with the possibility that the school might face probation they prepared for the coming season.

The Tigers, who have been under investigation by the NCAA, could be
"I don't think anyone is thinking about probation," said Smith, a 6-foot-10 center, forward and guard who he救了它 to Missouri to come back for his final season of eligibility.
"We just want to go out and build on what we can do," he said. "Probation isn't on our minds."
Smith was the Big Eight player of the year last season, when he finished third in scoring with a 19.8 average.
Missouri star, Travis Fors, transferred to Kentucky in the face of possible NCAA sanctions, but Smith Missouri was the right place for him.
In addition to Ford, the Tigers will
be without Anthony Peeler, who is academically ineligible for at least the first half of the season.
"I don't think my role will change." Smith said. "There's no question the guys will look to me for leadership. Last year we had a number of people who see Covard and Bate Nunin. But still everybody has to be his own leader."

Former OU athletes found guilty of giving cocaine to quarterback
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Two former Oklahoma athletes face up to 40 years in prison now that they have been convicted of obtaining cocaine for former Sooner quarterback Charles Thompson to sell.
After three hours of deliberations Wednesday, the federal jury convicted John Green, 25, of Detroit and Lamont Harris, 23, of Dallas. They were accused of supplying 17 grams of cocaine to Thompson, who sold it to an undercover FBI agent in January 1989.
Thompson is serving a two-year prison sentence in connection with the sale.
A third defendant, Kenneth Hill,
21, of Oklahoma City pleaded guilty
U. S. District Judge Ralph Thompson denied bond for both, pending formal sentencing.
Green and Harris each were found guilty of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and cocaine distribution. Harris also was found guilty of using a telephone to facilitate a drug transaction.
Although both could receive up to 40 years in prison, prosecutors said that sentences would likely be similar to Thompson's.
"I believe it was very damaging;" she said.
"It was apparently Mr. Harris who initiated all these goings on." Kaestner said. "We feel that he was the one most involved."
Kaestner said that the testimony of Thompson and Hill was vital to getting the convictions.
Monday Hill then testified along with Thompson against Green and Harris. Hill was accused of origi-
nating the supplying the 17 grams of cocaine.
Leslie Kaestner, assistant U.S. Attorney, said that the convictions wrapped up prosecutions in the undercover investigation.
Defense attorneys had attacked the credibility of Hill and Thompson as witnesses, saying Thompson was a convicted drug dealer who had lied about his involvement before.
During the case, Thompson said that he sold cocaine to undercover FBI agent Floyd Zimms at the
"He (Thompson) was, as defense attorneys said, a very despicable person," Kaestner said. She said prosecutors tried to show that and Thomson's connection with the defendants.
behest of Green, a former teammate, and Harris, a former track star at the university.
Zimms testified Tuesday that Thompson arranged to sell him an ounce of cocaine for $1,400. He said that he initially introduced himself to Thompson as "Tony," a collector of illegal debts.
Zimms said that he had several meetings with Thompson before obtaining the cocaine Jan. 26, 1989. Harris' and Green's names surpassed Thompson; Thompson that he had been shortened 11 grams in the deal. Zimms said.
He said that he eventually met him with Green, Harris and Thompson about getting his money or getting the 11 grams. The conversation was recorded, but a malicious phone call was made to me when it beamed before, he testified it
Zimms said that Harris and Green told him they would set things straight or get his money back.
Thompson, who said that he made $100 from the deal, testified that Harris had boasted of an unlimited supply of cocaine.
