Women's team places third, defeats Arkansas State 99-70

For the women's basketball team, the third tournament in as many weeks did not support the theory that the third time's a charm.
KU lost its first-round game Friday night to the University of Nebraska-Omaha by two points. 37-55. Saturday, KU jumped back to crush Arkansas State 99-70 for third place in the tournament.
Junior Vickie Adkins led KU both nights, scoring 21 points Friday night and a season high 28 points Saturday night.
Against UNO, the Jayhawks had control for much of the game, head coach Marvin Washington said yes. The Hawks did that control with a fall of turnovers.
"We did a lot of good things on defense, but we had 30 or 32 turnovers." Washington said. "We were hurt by mental errors. They were sad and hurt, but they came back in the second game."
The mental errors Friday night did
have an affect on Saturday's game, senior guard Mary Myers said, and the team was able to put it together against Arkansas State.
"We didn't play well Friday," Myers said. "It was just one of those games. We were in control most of the game, but we were really excited and anxious. There really wasn't any reason for all of the errors, but we do have a young ball club.
"We never let up. We didn't think we were going to lose until time ran out and the buzer sounded. We will wear hard work this week on concentration."
Myers put up a last second shot Tuesday against Creighton and won the game for KU. She almost had the ball to it for KU against UNO
"When the ball got to me, the time ran out," Myers said. "I never got the chance to unn a shot."
In the second game, freshman Jackie Martin and sophomore Evette Ott both had career high scoring games. Kevin Hankey freshman Freshman Kelly Jennings had 16.
freshman Lisa Dougherty had eight and Myers had six.
In the first game, Myers and Jennings both had eight and Martin had five.
The Jayhawks don't play again until Saturday, which will give the team time to rest and work in practice. Washington said.
"We are going to work on polishing offense and defense. Washington said. We will play Texas A&I next week. Our team would be resisted and ready to play well."
Myers said the week without competition would be a welcome break after three solid weeks of games and tournaments.
"We are going to work on concentrating more in practice." Myers said. "We are approaching the big Eight now, so we need to work hard. We will probably work on a lot of different situations and concentrate on individual play. When we were playing three teams a week, all we could work on was how to play against a team."
This weekend's tournament put KU's record at 52.
'Hawks' Timmons might play in '85
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
Defensive lineman Rod Timmons, who did not play for the Jayhawks during the 1984 season because he was serving a jail sentence for a misdemeanor charge of sexual battery, will be considered for the team if he is academically eligible. Coach Mice Gotfred said yesterday.
Gottifried said that Timmons' eligibility would be determined as soon as this semester's grades are recorded.
Timmons could not be reached for comment.
Lomny Rose, an assistant athletic director, said Timmons and six other players, who were declared academically ineligible before the first game and did not compete this season, received special exemptions for academic eligibility this year from the Big Eight Conference. The special exemptions allowed them to receive scholarships.
The six other players are Eldridge Avery, Carson, Califf, sophomore; Dawn Griffin, Lawrence junior; Joe Masanai, Honolulu senior; Derek Berry, East St. Louis, Ill., sophomore; Steveave, Coffeville junior; and Darnell Williams, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore.
"Part of Timmons' problem was he couldn't complete some of his work by the first day of classes this fall because of his personal situation," Rose said. "Otherwise he would have been eligible. He was granted the exception based on the completion of the work this semester."
Timmons was released to attend classes during the day. He was paroled last month. He had been sentenced Aug. 3 to a year in the Douglas County Jail and to pay court costs. He was originally charged with rape, aggravated sodomy and unlawful restraint in connection with an incident that occurred March 2 at Jayhawker Towers.
Last month Bat Judliff, recruiting coordinator for the football team, had said Timmons was not on scholarship this semester, but Rose said Ratliff was unaware of the big accomplishment for Timmons scholarship.
Gottried said his reasons for recommending that Timmons continue to receive his scholarship were between him and Timmons.
After Timmons was sentenced.
Rose said, the athletic department had to consider. "If we denied him his scholarship, what would the effect be?" One way to show that Rod was who people could be trusted to get, give judge to allow him to go to school.
Also, Rose said a scholarship can be revoked under NCAA rules only if a student commits serious misconduct, fraudulently misrepresents the University or voluntarily withdraws from the sport
NCA rule does not consider violation of the law serious misconduct, he said. The coach makes decisions about what is serious misconduct.
"I could make an interpretation that that might be serious misconduct." Rose said, "but it would be strained."
Serious misconduct usually in volves an action against the University, a teammate or a University official. Rose said.
The coach's decision about serious misconduct can affect his award recommendations, which he submits to the athletic director and the financial and director. Rose said
Athletic Director Monte Johnson said, "if the coaches feel that those situations deserve special attention, then I support them totally."
Jerry Rogers, financial aid director, said although he signed the final approval for athletes' financial aid and scholarships he did not have the authority to reverse an athletic department decision.
Payton inserted at QB as Chicago falls 20-14
Tony Redwood, chairman of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation Board, said the board was not involved in any discussion about leadership because it was an administrative decision, not a policy decision.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the spirit of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct encouraged the University not to punish a student for a crime committed on campus if the crime had been, or would be, with by the law. However, he said, the university could legally punish a student even if the state or Federal government already had taken action.
Usually the department involved decides whether it wants to pursue disciplinary action against a student, Amber said. If the department officials want the University to hire a teacher, then the教师 contact his office, he said. The athletic department did not do that in Timmon's case.
Del Brinkman, faculty represent to the NCAA, said he was not involved in the decision to continue Timmons' scholarship.
CHICAGO — The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears staged one of the most bizarre contests in their 63-year history yesterday and in the end, the Packers won the battle of third-string quarterbacks with a dramatic touchdown pass in the closing minute.
Rich Campbell, pressed into action late in the first half, threw two touchdown passes including a 43 yard to Phillip Epgs with 34 seconds left to rally Green Bay to a 20-14 victory. The loss dropped NFC Central champion Chicago to 9-6 and reduced the Bears' hopes of clinching the homefield advantage for the playoffs.
Rookie's play helps Chiefs defeat Seattle
The Bears were forced to start third-stringer Rusty Lash at quarterback and for the final two minutes of the second quarter used Walter Payton as a quarterback (for the first time in his career).
The Packers improved to 7-8 with the win.
Payton, the National Football League's all-time leading rusher, run for 75 yards in 35 carries, scored a seven-yard touchdown that run that the Bears ahead early in the fourth quarter. He also threw a two-yard halfback option touchdown pass, tipping the score in the third quartz.

KANSAS CITY, Mo — Rookie linebacker Scott Racette returned an interception 19 yards for a touchdown, highlighting a 17-point second-quarter that carried the Kansas City Chiefs to a 34-7 upset victory yesterday over the Seattle Seahawks.

"It's OK but I wouldn't want to make a living out of it," Payton said of his QB debut.
Nick Lowery kicked a 29-yard field goal and Bill Kenney threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Henry Marshall during that second period, giving the Chiefs their second consecutive upset of an AFC West team in the playoffs. Denver Broncos out of first place last week with a 16-13 victory
The Chips intercepted six passes, snapping Seattle's eight game winning streak and dropping the Seahawks to 12-3. Radecie's touchdown gave Kansas City a measure of revenge against a Seattle team that won a Central Football League record four interceptions for touchdowns in a 45-0 dragging the Chips last month.
Lowyy kicked his 29-yard field goal for a 10-7 lead $3\frac{1}{2}$ minutes into the second quarter and on Seattle's very next play, Radecic, a second-round draft pick from Penn State, intercepted a Dave Krieg pass in the right flat and trotted untouched to the end zone for his first career score and a 17-7 lead.
Seattle then turned the ball over on downs and Kenney needed only six plays to cover 79 yards for a touchdown. The guard touch down pass to Marshall

Jayhawks beat'Cats 84-72

Jayhawk basketball player Calvin Thompson received an early Christmas gift from coach Larry Brown in the form of his first starting assignment of the season against Abilene Christian Saturday.
Thompson, a junior, turned the night into a gift exchange by hitting 10-of-13 shots from the field and all four of his free-throw attempts for 26 points. His performance helped the Jayhawks defeat the Wildcats 84-72.
"I think he played real well and deserved it;" Brown said of Thompson after the game.
Thompson made his first eleven shots of the game and didn't miss until six minutes, four seconds, and two slam dunks in the second half.
"I shot a couple I shouldn't have." Thompson said. "But we came out with the victory and that's the main thing."
Thompson started the last 17 games of his freshman year and the last 21 games of his sophomore year. He said that sitting on the bench the first five games of this season didn't bother him.
1 'quit worrying about starting'
he said 2 'played a lot of minutes'
and 3 'taught me some math'
Thompson, who Brown said had made the sacrifices necessary to become a starter, said, "I've been practicing a lot better and playing a lot better. I just want to go out and do whatever it takes to win."
The Wildcats hung tough through the first half and led 25-14 with 7-19 in the last half. But Cedric Hunter, the team's star, scored a goal and five assists, led the Jayhawks on
a tear that enabled them to go to the locker room at halftime leading 46-29
In that seven minute span, Hunter scored eight points. Greg Dreiling four and Ron Kellogg and Thompson both scored two. Hunter started the game in place of freshman Danny Bannion, who was hampered by a chest cold.
"I wasn't feeling that well." Manning said. "I've had the snuffles the last couple of days. It's just a chest cold that's been going around."
Manning scored six points and had a game-high eight assists.
The Jahayhws opened the second half with 12 unanswered points and pulled out of a 52-29 lead. Kansas biggest lead came with 31 left in the game when Thompson's second gave KU a 36-point cushion at 6:47.
Less than a minute later, Brown removed Manning, Dreiling, Mark Turgueg, Kellogg and Thompson from the game in favor of a freshman-dominated lineup consisting of Milton Newton, Allonio Campbell, Cedric Hunter, Rodney Hull and Chris Piret.
Abilene Christian capitalized on the Jawahires' youth by outsourcing KU 16-6 and narrowed the gap to 79.70
"I feel bad that I substituted five at a time," Brown said. "That turned a blow out into a really sloppy game. It looked like some jelly without the mold. We just had no direction and just kicking it all over the place."
the Jayhawks received double-figure scoring from Thompson and Hunter, but Dreiling and Kellogg came through with double-figure performances in both scoring and rebounding Kellogg ended the game.
with 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Dreiling had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
"Greg played super," Brown said. "He really made some athletic moves and did some great things. I'm amazed he only played 15 games."
Ahlene Christian coach Mike Martin said that the presence of Manning and Dreiling forced his team to make changes on defense.
The Jahawks will play South Carolina State tonight at 7:30. The Bulldogs are 6-6 this year after falling to Virginia Tech Saturday.
