KU women play basketball's best aim to invade champs Dominion
By PAM CLARK
Sports Writer
Having nothing to lose and everything to gain, the KU women's basketball team will take on No. 1 Old Dominion tomorrow in Norfolk, Va.
The Jayhawks, 5-1 for the year, will be pooling for an upset of the defending national champion in the last night's game at North Carolina. The Monarchs were 31-year last and have a 42-26 record.
In their second game of the season last year, the 'Hawks lost 73-59 to Old Dominion in the Detroit Coca-Cola Class. In that game, ODU's two All-Americans, Nancy Lieberman and Ike Nissen, played the entire 40 minutes and combined for 45 points. The Hawks also have a chance to defalt ODU, then the 'Hawks are going to have to store these two players.
"I don't feel we're intimidated by them," KU Coach Marian Washington said. "If we lose, then we've lost to the No. 1 team in the nation, not some nodunk team."
SENIOR GUARD Cheryl Burnett draws the assignment of stopping Lieberman and sophomore center Shya Holden will be on Nissen.
Being assigned to the opponent's top guard is nothing new to Burnet. Defense is her specialty and she takes pride in it.
"On our team this year we have enough offensive players that we can sacrifice one player's scoring," Burnett said. "It's what I do best and I love it."
Guarding Lieberman will probably be the biggest challenge of Burnett's career.
Lieberman has been called the best player in women's collegiate basketball today and she is the one who makes Old Dominion go.
"SHE IS A Good hand handler with good fundamentals," hurried she. "She also is an excellent passer. I'm going to have to put pressure on her when she has the ball. When he doesn't need to try to help insure but still know where she is, She is going to have to shoot from 15 feet out."
Cheryl Burnett
"I'm going to concentrate all my intensity on her. It importance to our game to stop her before she's able to have an effective job, then we have other people who can come in who might be more efficient."
Lieberman has been named to everyone's All-America team and was featured in last week's basketball issue of Sports Journal, but Washington said Lieberman was Supplied.
"IM NOT THAT impressed with her like a lot of people," she said. "Her effectiveness can be controlled better than ours and done II. We have to keep pressure on her."
"Lieberman works well on both ends of the court, but she has a lot of turnovers and we'll try to get even more."
The player that Washington is more concerned about is 64 Nissan. Nissen and 68 freshman Anne Donovan make up the 52 players in the United States. In their first meeting, Nissen took advantage of Holden's inexperience to score 25 points, most of which were goals.
"I WAS NERVOUS and scared." Holden
said. "It was the first time I started and it was the first time I played in front of a big crowd."
Holden admitted that Nissen took advantage of her nerveness and lack of experience, but said that if the outplayed Hollen had been able to overgressiveness on Holden's part.
"My first objective will be to try to keep her from getting the ball," she said. "They'll probably try to get the ball inside because they know I'm fool proch. But I'm not going to sat at her. I don't want her to be too hard to want to challenge her to shoot the jump shot.
"OF COURSE, everyone will look for Nancy to score, but we won't have trouble there with Cherly on her. So everybody is
Washington said the key to a KU victory would be to keep fools to a minimum, which could be difficult because of the Monarchs' great height advantage.
going to be looking at us, but I feel like I can do well. There is a lot of pride involved."
"We need good, solid defense and we have to force them to reach over us. We have to aggressive if we take the ball inside and have to exploit our outside shooting game."
"We have to force them into a running game with us," Washington said. "We must push the ball down the floor. I don't think Martin and Donovan can run with our big guys."
ANOTHER KEY MATCHUP in the game will be KURS LEHNERT Leagrant against Old Dodgeball. It takes 45 inches, nine inches taller, Washington expects Leagrant to be able to use her quickness and reach as much as possible.
"Donovan doesn't have the shooting range of Inge, so we have to keep her away from the boards," she said.
In contrast to last year's contest, the Hawks are not going into the game in aof their top-tranked opponent. The KU players have an unset on their minds.
"If we win, then we'll be known all around the country as the team that beat the No. 1 team," Burnett said. "If we don't, then we would be ordering to the palls, we're supposed to lose."
KU guard Pat Mason said, "I don't worry about who they are or what people say about them. They still have to prove themselves again this year."
Jayhawks hope to be Scrouges

The Jayhawks have gotten in the Christmas spirit early, giving away two road games this week.
But Coach Ted Owens said KU was no longer in the spirit of giving. It's time to receive.
"We just gave two games away," he said. "This team will bounce back. We're close to being a very good basketball team and I think our young men realize this."
but DO kU's opponents? KU lost Monday to Orta Roberts and amsterdam Wednesday at 9:40am, and the Rockets won, then the Jawaharacks have a chance either to jovie or receive tomorrow night in Allen. The Nets are looking for a game are the Arzneis of San Diego State University, a team with only one letterman
OWENS HAS DIAGNOSED the problems of his 1-2 team.
"Little things are hurting us," he said.
"We're not getting back on defense as we should. At times, we're not blocking off well."
Those little things are causing big trouble for the 'Hawks. But San Diego State is hardly an established power, even though the Aztecs finished 15-12 last year and have wipped Port Hays State 107-17 and San Diego State 89-64. They stopped the Jayhaws 81-19 game last season.
San Diego State is expected to start two 6-1 junior guards, newcomers Jem Mendoza and Mark Smith. Drew Head, 6-10, is the fourth starter in one forward. The other is 64 senior Jerry Brown, a three-year letterman who played in 18 games last season with a 1.9 scoring average.
DESPIETE THE LACK of experience,
first-year coach coach Gaines is
promising an exciting season for all Aztec
ians.
"I can't promise how many we'll win,
Gaines said, "but we will be exciting. We'll play hard, with a brand of basketball not seen around here it is. It runs, and shoot."
KU would like to run, press and shoot, too. To do that, the 'Hawks need more of the 57 percent shooting they got against Southern teams in bound performance from Chester Glees.
Giles starts tomorrow, his four start of the season and career, against the Aztecs. Joining him will probably be Ricky Ross, David Magley, Tony Guy and Darnell Valentine. Giles holds the team lead in scoring with 8.7 game, and Guy leads in scoring with 21.2 average.玫瑰, Rose, 16.3, and Valentine, 16.0, are the other double-digit scorers.
OWENS ISN'T CERTAIN just how much scoring KU will need to even its record at 2-2.
"They have a lot of new people and a new coaching staff so we can't go much by last
year," he said. "It's a team that is going to get better and better as they become more familiar with one another and the new staff. We're impressed by them."
After the San Diego State contest, KU will play California-Bakersfield Monday and Kentucky Wednesday, both in Allen Field House.
The Kentucky game will feature two presse
session All-America point guards, KU's Valentine and Wildcat Kyle Macy. The wildcats, who have a 10-1 lead in the series with KU, including a 6-4 over time triumph for New York, have standout freshman center Sam Bowie.
*AS EVERYONE KNOWS,* Kentucky had an excellent recruiting year while losing only two lettermen. Owens said, "You're not going to win the top 10 teams in the country right now."
"We're just going to have to play with tremendous emotion and execute well,"

KC Royals gain Aikens but lose Cowens, Todd
KANSA S CITY Mo. (AP) — The Akens by the Kansas City Royals will give the club needed power and depth in their lineup, the club's vice president of marketing.
"We think he has a chance to be an outstanding first baseman and forker in the league," said John Scherbolz said in a statement issued in Toronto where baseball's highest scorer was.
The Royals traded outfitier A Cowens and infidelter Todd Cruz to the California Angels for Aikens and infidelter Rance Mullins.
Aikens, 25, hit 289 with 21 home runs and 81 RBI in 116 games with the American League Western Division of the National League. He divided his time between Salt Lake City
of the Pacific Coast League and California.
Cowens was a crucial element in the Cowens' division championships in 1976, 1977 and 1978.
A Royals spokesman, Bruce Carnahan, said there were a number of clubs interested in Cowens.
Royals free agent shortstop Fred Patek signed a three-year contract with the Angels yesterday.
"We just ended up trading an every-day player for an every-day player, plus two young prospects who no one knows how to handle. "We just feel Akens can be good for us."
"It was just a situation where we could afford to give up Cowens and get a good person like Alikens. They (California) had them. And they needed and we had something they needed."
