It is pretty hard to mistake Kim DeHoff and Lisa Seigle for interchangeable parts. But on the Kansas team that is exactly how they work.
DeHoff, at 6-foot-1, and Seigle, at 5-four, are two players who add up to one. In matches, DeHoff plays the front line and then is replaced by DeHoff, plays the back line. Both said they were very pleased with the arrangement.
"I like it," DeHello said. "It gives me time to rest up to play the front line."
It makes sense that DeHoff likes it. Despite not getting any back row time, she leads the team in kills with 97 and in block assists with 28. She has been named to the all-tournament each of this year's three tourneys.
Seigle has used her time to become the team's defensive specialist. Despite her limited playing time, she is fourth on the team in winters 90. Coach Frankie Albizt said Seigle was the brightest note in last weekend's Western Illinois Tournament.
"She's been digging balls that she really has to hustle to get." Abtzit said. "She's accepted her role really well."
Although Albitz lauded Seigle, her play went unnoticed by all-tourney team selectors.
DeHoff wished it could be different. "I wish she could make the all tournament teams when I do," she said.
DeHoff said she thought that Seigle
playing on defense allowed herself to concentrate on offense and stay rested.
Both players are sophomores, and Albitz said their arrangement could continue.
"I can see us doing this in the future," Albitz said. "It's worked out really well for us."
Both players have circumstances which necessitate the arrangement.
Seige's obvious disadvantage is her height. She is considered short in the volleyball world, and she has become a defensive specialist. Seige said she did not mind playing defense.
"I’m too short to contribute on offense," she said. "I spend a lot of time in practice digging balls when they work on the offense."
Tomorrow, Kansas travels to Wichita State for a rematch with the Shockers. Kansas defended Wichita State in an OT at 11:55, 11:59, 15:33, 15:41, IU Invitational 11:15, 11:59, 15:33, 15:41
NCAA puts Gators on probation again
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida football and basketball programs were placed on two years' probation by the NCAA to be acquired more serious penalties that could have shut them down altogether
The Associated Press
It was the second time in six years the NCAA imposed sanctions on the Gators, who had faced the possibility of death penalty" for repeat violations.
Instead, the last penalties were relatively light. In 1984, the football program received two years' probation, lost scholarships and was banned from appearing in postseason games and on live television.
The NCAA banned this year's football team from appearing in a bowl game, but took no other action against that sport. There was no ban on television appearances for either sport.
The basketball program's scholarships will be restricted, and it must repay at least $287,000 in revenue from the 1988 NCAA tournament because Vernon Maxwell played while he was ineligible. The Gators will be permitted 13 scholarships in the 1991-92 school year, two fewer than the maximum, and 14 scholarships in 1992-93.
The NCAA also cited for unethical conduct former basketball coach Norm Sloan and former football coach Gale Hall, who were both involved in teaching job in the next five years, his hiring must be approved by the NCAA Committee on Infrations. Hall is currently an unpaid
graduate assistant at Penn State, while Sloan is coaching a pro team in Greece.
Although the school's punishment could have been much more severe, university president John Lombardi said a postseason panson bad on the football team.
"We are not entirely comfortable with a set of penalties that appear to us to... penalize the innocent for the sins of a prior generation," Lombardi said. "This is particularly difficult when you recognize that these players and these coaches are guilty of something, and these penalties at this time in their season appear to us to be a particularly difficult blow to accept."
The school has 15 days to appeal the sanctions or ask that the ban against the football team be delayed. Neil Lombardi nor athletic director Bill Arnsparger would say whether the school would appeal.
The NCAA has imposed sanctions on three other programs this year. Mary|Jay's basketball team won't be in the playoffs, and she will play for two years and is forbidden to appear on live television for one year. UNL won't be allowed post-season play next March, and Clemson's program is on probation for a year.
Hall and Sloan were forced out of their jobs last October Hall left quietly, but Sloan criticized school officials for not supporting him and his assistant coaches during the investigation.
The sanctions the NCAA imposed in 1844 didn't cripple the football program financially.
Kansas to play junior colleges

The Kansas softball team has never lost to a junior college team, and Coach Kalum Haack expects to keep it that way.
"Like anything, you can't always tell what is going to happen in a softball game." Haak said. "But I'll be disappointed if we lose a game. And not because these are junior colleges. We're a good
Haack said he expected the first game to be the toughest.
"It ought to be a good test," he said. "I talked to a friend of mine that has coached against them,
The Jayhawks open home play at 9 a.m. tomorrow against Johnson County Community College in the annual junior college tournament.
and he said that they were really fast."
The tournament will be at Jayhawk Field behind Oliver Hall. In the round-robin tournament, Kansas will play Barton County Community College, Great Bend; Highland Community College, Colby Community College and Crowder Community College, Neosha, Mo.
"Johnson County is loaded,"
Haack said he expected Johnson County, 9-2 this fall, to finish second.
Barton County coach Turtis said that Johnson County and Crowder would provide the best competition for his team, which is
Curtis said, "Crowder is loaded. Of course, I'll have to put my best players on the field against KU just to keep from getting blown out. I usually split my team into alternating squads to get ready for spring competition, rather than run up a record in the fall.
"There is no question that this will be the stiffest competition of the year by far."
Crowder's Milie Gilion agreed. "This will really be the best test of the fall." Gilion said. "This will tell us where we are at."
Crowder, 7-1, was described by Haack as comparable to Johnson County.
"They will be well coached, but we'll have more experience," she said. "We're teams is that we have everything to lose and nothing to gain."
Baseball team begins fall season; Stewart will take leadership role

When Drennan Stewart comes up to the plate tomorrow against Coffeyville Community College, he probably won't mind.
Stewart, the Kansas baseball team's leading hitter last season, played for the Chatham Athletics in Cape Cod, Maine, this summer. The team is in a wooden hat league, and Stewart said the adjustment was a difficult one.
"It really kills your hands at first," Stewart said. "I broke two bats this summer and got jammed a couple of times, which really stung. But I think it will help me in the long run."
Coach Dave Bingham he expected Stewart, who one of six returning seniors, to show some leadership this fall as the baseball team began its season at 1 p.m.orrow against Coffeyville at Haglund-Maupin Stadium.
Stewart, who finished last season with a .356 average after driving in 37 runs, hitting nine home runs, and stealing eight bases on 10 attempts, said a leadership role was fine with him.
"I can just do the best I can, but I think I will do alright as a senior." Stewart said. "I don't mind being a leader. My goals this season are to increase my bat speed and my speed overall in general."
During the fall season, the baseball team plays junior colleges from around the Kansas area. Bingham said the schedule gave him a chance to experiment with the team a little. He also can give some younger players more time
Former centerfielder Pat Karlin, who was named second team-all BigEight and was Kansas' all-time stolen base leader, graduated along with former pitcher Steve Renko, the all-time strikeout leader for Kansas.
The team starts off the fall season without three of its most successful players.
The Jayhawks also lost former pitcher Curtis Shaw, a third-team All-American, when he was drafted by the Oakland Orioles.
But Bingham said he felt good about the depth of the team because he had six回回starters in addition to
One of the newer players who might see action tomorrow is the pitcher Joel Bacon, who was added to the roster last week.
"Right now he's busy getting in shape, but so far I've been very pleased with Bingham." Bingham said. "Pitching is something we're doing all right with now. Last year we weren't a great hitting team, and we can concentrate on
Bingham said he thought Bacon was fitting in well with the team and should help with their success.

challenges so far.
Bacon said that he had faced Coffeyville before while playing at Hutchinson Junior College but that he had never thrown against them. He said he was eager for the challenge of facing new competition.
"It's essential to show confidence before the hitter; you've got to want to own the hitter," Bacon said. "A pitcher has to show he's in control at all times because if he looks like he's getting flustered, he's dead."
"I took a month layoff in between summer ball and now," Bacon said. "I can pretty much keep up as far as running with the team, but it's been hard lifting weights because I can tell already it will help me last on the mount longer."
Asian Olympics suspend Iraq, expel from games for invasion
The Associated Press
BEJLING — The Olympic Council of Asia expelled Iraq from the Asian Games yesterday for its invasion of Kuwait, despite Iraq's insistence that the sports body should stay out of politics.
Iraq also was suspended from the council until Kuwait's National Olympic Committee is able to function normally in its homeland
Iraq invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, and most of Kuwait's potential competitors for the Sept. 20.Oct. 7 Games were trapped there
The vote was 27.3, with five abstentions and one invalid ballot, officials said. Two other members of the 38 member council of the Indiana and Ohio states did not vote.
Roy De Silva of Sri Lanka, vice chairperson of the meeting, said Yemen and Palestine voted against expansion.
Two days before the Games' opening ceremonies, 52 Kuwaiti athletes
and officials checked into the Games village. All had been outside their country when Iraq invaded.
Iraq had intended to send 124 athletes to compete in the Asian Games. None had entered the village by yesterday, although an Iraqi soccer team, in China for other competition, was awaiting results of the vote. A total of 300 athletes are expected to compete for 308 gold medals in 27 sports.
Abdul Karim Al-Mulla, president of Iraq's National Olympic Committee, said. "We feel sorry for the Islamic Republic," she said, offering sorry for the spirit of Olympism.
"An Iraqi National Olympic Committee statement described the procedures in Iraq's expulsion as "a clear and flagrant violation of the OCA constitution and all its princeps constitution and of fair treatment for all members."
It also said Iraq was "keen not to involve this assembly in the Persian
Gulf crisis and what accompanies it concerning well-known international and regional interferences."
The Iraqi statement said that the Persian Gulf situation was a political issue that the Olympic Council of Asia should not consider and that the Iraqi expulsion would jeopardize future unity harmony.
In Tokyo last week, the International Olympic Committee executive board in a statement expressed its support for the Kuwait National Olympic Committee and its team in Athens athletes soon will be able to resume their activities under normal conditions in their country.
The executive board did not take a stand on expelling Iraq from the Asian Games, but it expressed confidence that the Games' governing body would take the most appropriate measures for the benefit of the Olympic movement and for the success of the Asian Games in Beijing.

Younger Kansas men's and women's cross country runners will compete tomorrow in the Johnson County Community College.
The event, which begins at 9:30 a.m. with the women's 5-kilometer run, will feature mostly junior colleges and NAIA schools. Kansas will be the only Division I school participating. Coach Gary Schwartz said.
Schwartz said he expected the most competition from Johnson County and Barton County Community College. Kansas will send many of its younger runners, Schwartz said.
Schwartz said in an endurance sport like cross country, it was unhealthy to race every weekend. He said the running team runs from meet to meet.
From staff and wire reports
"In college, teams try to go on "in some type of rotation." Schwartz said. "You may run a meet, then take a week off. Usually the intensity of the competition is so that you don't have to race the same people every
“It’s the young ones who need races,” he said. “Basically, we start with the top nine to see who will win.” There was a race or from laying off a week.
weekend.
"My philosophy is that I want to develop more than seven runners," he said. "We need to give the younger ones a chance to run."
Schwartz said the team members who would not be racing this weekend would continue normal training.
Senior Patty Rochford, a former member of the Johnson County team, will be one of the competitors for the Kansas women's team.
"（My time）should be faster，” Nitz said. "My injury is going away and I'm getting better."
Last year the Kansas women won
the meet and the men placed second.
Schwartz said he hoped for a repeat
performance on the women's side.
"Hopelessly, I'll improve my time because the course is a flatter course," Rochford said. "I'm to be running on my home course. It will be easier for me to learn, so I know it real well. I hope it will be another step to my improvement."
"We're going to try to win it again," he said.
The men's 8-kilometer race will follow the women's race at 10 a.m. Senior Bart Nitz said he too was hoping for a faster time on the flat course. Nitz recently was injured but said he was feeling better every day.
