Manning joins Dreiling on front line
By CHRIS LAZZARINO
Sports Writer
At a combined height of 14 feet, junior Greg Dreiling and freshman Danny Manning may be college basketball's new twin towers.
Manning was one of the most highly recruited big men in the country last year as a senior at Lawrence High School. He moved to Lawrence after his father, Ed, was hired as a KU assistant coach
Last year, Dreiling led the Jayhawks with 38 blocked shots and made 53 percent of his field-goal attempts. He was third on the team in rebounding, an area he hopes to improve this season.
AND THIS YEAR, head coach Larry Brown is emphasizing rebounding KU lost its top two centers last year, Kelly Knight and Carl Henry.
"My big thing is to get rebounds, and I need to stay out of foul trouble," Dreiling said. "Coach Brown says I'm a key to his plans, so I need to keep available and give a full game. I can't get into the way I
I see myself as a utility player, rebounding, playing defense, scoring points, blocking shots, just doing whatever Coach Brown and the team need me to do.

Dreiling said if he rebounded well,

"The boards are where we really need to do well." Dreiling said. "Everything is in rebounding. If you do well rebound, the rest of your
KU's Danny Manning fights for position in the game against the national team from the People's Republic of Ching.
In an effort to be more active, Dreiling said, he came into practice in good shape. He also was involved in karate and is currently working with a dance instructor to improve movement.
"I f rebound well, the rest of the game will come, the scoring will come. If I don't rebound that means I can do it better," more involved and hit the boards.

and staying in better shape." Dreiling said. "If you come in out of shape, you lose the three weeks just getting into shape. The karate didn't last long — it got a little rugged — but I have been working with a dance instructor to improve my running."
Before the season began, Brown said, "He struggled a little bit at home because he wants to do well so she can be more productive." He's going to have a back of a year.
While Derelling's play will be a critical factor in the team's success, the highly heralded Manning will not appear largely in how well the team does.
"He's struggling right now." Brown said. "He's making a lot of mistakes, offensively trying to make the great play. He gambles a little too much defensively, but that's typical of a freshman."
IF DREHLING GETS into foul trouble this month, Manning may have to fill in at center. But Manning said the play extended to all phases of the game.

"I see myself as a utility player," Manning said, "rebounding, playing defense, scoring points, blocking
shots, just doing whatever Coach Brown and the team need me to do."
Dreiling and Manning both said they thought there was a good attitude on campus towards the basketball team.
"It itens like the students are a lot more involved," Dreiling said. "That is evident in the ticket sales. I have a lot more people wishing me good luck, and some are more involved. They know what is going on. It is a good thing."
Ticket sales are up 3,500 over'83-'84
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
Basketball ticket sales are on the rise.
Lonny Rose, an assistant athletic director, said, "Ticket sales are up in all categories."
Terry Johnson, ticket manager,
said that season ticket sales have
already reached the 13,000 mark,
which includes student, public and
faculty tickets. Last year 9,500
season tickets were sold.
The athletic department had made no special effort to promote basketball tickets.
"I think everybody is just looking forward to a good season," Rose said. "We figured basketball would sell itself."
Athletic department officials are pleased with the increased interest in basketball, Rose said.
ABOUT 200 PUBLIC and faculty season tickets are still available, Johnson said. If the demand increases, more tickets will be available more season tickets available and reduce the number of single game tickets, he said.
Students bought their 1,000 season tickets in seven-and-a-half hours this year. Last year the deadline for ticket sales was extended because tickets were still available.
Rose said, "I think students realized we have a good basketball team and they want to support it."
This year students bought an additional 5,298 tickets earlier by purchasing all-sports tickets during football season.
Fans can purchase single game tickets for all of the home games, Johnson said. But he anticipates most of the Big Eight Conference games to be sold out by the end of December.
LAST YEAR, HE SAI, too games — Kansas State University, University of Kentucky, University of Missouri, University of Missouri; were sold out.
Now the KU-Klahoma game has the fewest tickets left, Johnson said. The KU-University of Housatonic also are selling quickly.
But last season, tickets were still available until the week of each of the games. Johnson said.
