victory Saturday night in Allen Field House. Ransom had just two games in the season after scoring the Jayhawks in scoring 6 in the season open. Tony Gay had 31 points.
If it takes dazzling dunks with mid-air pirouettes to be a superstar, Tony Guy admits he'll never be one.
But if it takes sizzling defense and a sixth sense to shake defenders, Guy is already there.
That 6-foot-6-inch sophomore star was caught in tight Saturday against the University of Florida from the inside, outside and free throw line for a career-hard 28 points as KU cruised.
Gauley assisted through the Wolf Pack defense during each of his 30 minutes of training with the 10th team, tempts and 8-of-10 free throws. But he wasn't ready to proclaim his success as a captain.
"I'm not a guy with the great moves," he said. "I am under control at all times, I have to be. I have to use my head to keep my opponent off balance."
GUYS MAN WAS not the only one offence for the Woll Pack. Three other hardman players, Andrew Valentine and Ike Ricky Kes and Kelvin Douglas 10-m in the season opener for both
"Everybody was looking for the open man, that's the key to our offense," Guy said. "I just happened to be the most open man there." Another girl, not another, it could be someone else."
Such a scoring roar has been typical of Guy, who averaged 9.2 points last season. He had in 22 KU's 77-76 loss to the Yugoslavia National Team Nov. 15, but his form of razor-diced drollness in steady team play has made him KU's "Mr. Consistency."
"Tony's playing the best he's ever played," Ku Coach Ted Owens said. "His consistency has been our steadily influence all during practice."
WHILE GUH GAV THE KU offense under control, New Zealand was shooting itself right out of the water. The attackers were more concerned with quantity than quality of shots. The Pack forced up 44 shots on goal and lost five to New Zealand.
Guard Gene Ransom led the off-target arsenal with an 8-6-9 performance. He threw up every shot of slot except behind him in the second half he beated to go 2-0-3-1.
“Part of the problem was we expected Ransom to do too much, and in the first half he was trying to do too much,” Carey said. “He wasn't looking for his shot.”
The blanks left Wolf Pack Coach Jim Carev disstrured.
"But we free-lanced a little bit too much on offense at times. We didn't play too hard on defense, either."
IN THE SECOND half, Nevada shot 47 percent and, at times, handcuffed the Jayhawks with its press. But Owens was anything but naked after the game.
"When you play a team that gambles and takes chances like that, you're never going to look good or smooth," he said. "But you do a lot of easy lavours.
When the Nevada offense went into one of elapsed three minutes into the game, KU played a wild play with Crawford and Gay hit a point play to give it a 13-27 victory. On the 13-27 run, Gay had four more and Ross and Valentine each contributed two runs for a 15-4 lead. When the end came, KU won.
"Reno did a good job changing defenses and scrambling. They played the way they have to play, and their style was good for us. They were so aggressive with a lot of rumming around."
The 20th-ranked 'Hawks meet the Titans of Oral Robes tonight in Tulsa.
Oral Roberts, which has a 1-4 record against KU, finished third in the two Lacombe wins and fourth in City City over the weekend. Their third-placed game victory was a 348-decision over
THE FACT THAT this will be our first read game concessions me," Owens said. The "Hawks were 6- away from Allen Field House last year, "I fully expect ORU to be a greatly improved team over last year (11-7) . I am particularly concerned about their
Starting for the Titans probably will be four seniors and a sophomore. Five-foot-12 players are in line for the other guard is 6-1 Robert Griffin. In the pivot is 6-8 Antonio Martin, flanked by 6-5 Julius Thomas.
"They are big and quick and are good shooters, which should give us a very good indication of how much improvement we have made in our rebounding."
The Jayhawks will counter with Valentine
at the point, Crawford at power forward and either R罗 or David Magey at one wing. At Warner he was a star every game since coming to KU—something without Valentine nor coming to KU has gone. Going back, Crawford has been a star.
IN THE PIVOT for KU will be Chester Giles, Art Houseway and Mark Snow—not in any superscalar order. That trio combined for a record-breaking bounds, more than enough to please Owens.
"Our production overall from that position pretty opposes it. "You all want to own Owl's single individual, but the production we need was there. I think, at least for now, that's how it will be."
Snow had three points and seven rebounds while Housey had nine points and five boards. The "Hawks," however, were outbounded 40-48 by Nevada.
The plan for Oral Roberts is to again employ Giles, Snow and Housew in shifts.
"THAT'S THE WAY we 'look at it',
Snow, a red-shirt hoodie, said. "I think a lot of teams are effective that way, and I don't see why it wouldn't work for us." too.

Woodard's record keys KU victory over Wayland
48 45 - 92

Rv PAM CLARK
It might have surprised many people that KU's women's basketball team defeated Wayland so easily Saturnus night before the game, and priced it when it was announced that Lynete Woodard had become the all-time leading scorer in KU basketball history — Lynete Woodard.
"I didn't know I was near it," Woodard said. "No one told me. It was a complete surprise."
one in 18 of Woodard's game-high 22 points gave her heckle. He was one of Michelle, Michelle graduated last year and is now a member of the Chicago Haste of Women's Professional Athletics.
Woodard's total is also more than a man's at KU. Clyde Lovette, who played for KU from 1950 to 1952, holds the men's record of 1,888.
The 6-14 junior has been a virtual scoring machine in her three years at KU. She led the team to a national record point average, but this year she isn't expected to score as much because she has been an excellent player.
ALSO, WOODARD is the prime target of KU opponents. She is often double- and triple-tackled by defenders at the top of the key, her KU teammates must be underdeveloped for this reason.
"One of the nicest things in the game is
letting someone get the easy two," Woodard said. "It's heartbreaking to the defense.
In the first half against Wayland Baptist, Woodard's teammates did most of the scoring for KU, as Woodward was held to only eight points in the first 20 minutes.
"If they want to put two or three people on me, then that's fine. That means that two of my teammates are open."
But Woodward could be excused for her start. She had played on a United States team and was a National Team the night before in Knoxville, Teen Woodard didn't get back to Washington.
"I tell a little tired in the first half," she said. "But I told myself that I just had to get going."
KU WENT on a scoring binge in the first 10 minutes of the second half and outscored Wayland 30-2. Included in that was a string of 25 unanswered points, 14 of which came
was out of the game, Mason took over the defensive chores. They held Harston to only four points.
KU's fifth starter, Clyburn Burnet, spent the evening shadowing Wayland's top player. Harson Jackson, a Harrison 75-foot hitter, last season with 88 kills missed last season with a knee injury. When Burnet
"woodard is one of the best I've ever seen." Wayland Coach Cathy Wilson said. "She has more tools than anyone I've ever seen."
The man-to-man defense applied by KU set the pace of the game early. Wayland seldom had open shots, as the 'Hawks always had their hands in the Queens' faces. KU forced 28 turnovers and 38 percent that allowed for its outside and outside shooting.
In addition to Woodward, three of KU's four other starters scored in double figures. Shebra Legrant scored 18 points, Pat Mason had 15 and Shira Hwaja Holden 12.
"WE WORKED VERY hard to keep pressure on them," KU Coach Marian Washington said. "I'm convinced that there are to many teams that allow that outside
shot uncontested. Any time we failed to keep pressure on the ball they killed us."
While Wayland was holding Woodard to eight points in the first half, Legrant was not able to reach him. The court. She had 12 points and five rebounds after the first 20 minutes. Mason provided KU with an outside threat to complement Legrant, as the sophomore guard tossed in.
"A lot of teams try to stop Lynette,"
Wayland used a box zone defense and put one player man-to-man on Woodard, and that did not mean that KU was stopped.
Washington said. "She's dang her job by keeping their attention. Lynette's got teammates that are responding really well."
AGAIN KU RECEIVED a solid performance from its bench. The most points she scored were scored by six, Megan Spoelz and made her presence known in other ways. The 6-2 freshman grabbed seven rebounds and had two blocked shots and two steals in the game.
"Everyone that came off the bench put 150 percent," Washington said. "Our
young people are adjusting really well. We've got a bench now that is really going to help us."
"This win will give us great momentum," Washington said. "Our team has been playing very well against a national team and we are forward to our game with Old Dominion."
The victory left Kansas with a 4-1 record, while Iowa dropped to 3-3. The Hawks won the game on a night of play Central Missouri State. Then they will lackle the top team at the nation, Old Tornadoes.

Women swimmers place second
Before the Nebraska Invitational, KU women's swim coach, Gary Kempel, said no team could compete with Florida State on paper. He found out just how tough the Seminoles can be in real competition, as the defending Big Eight champion Jayhawk finished runner-up to Florida State Saturday, 980 to 630.
"We finished about where we planned," Kempf said. "They're about a notch above us. They really did a number on us."
Although only one KU swimmer won an event, Kempf said he was pleased with the team's overall performance.
"I can't think of one person who didn't help themselves and help the team," Kempil said. "Although nobody stood out and did a bit of job, everybody performed really well."
Janet Lindstrom was KU's only winner, taking the 500- and 1600-yard freestyle events.
Florida State dominated the meet, winning nine of the 15 events.
But a strong overall performance made Kempf pleased with his team. The Jayhawks had 12 entrants who finished in the top three in their events.
Kemp said, "we're strong all the way through. We haven't sacrificed any of our work yet to get speed. As the season progresses, we'll get our speed."
"The way we're training right now,"
Freshman Mary Kay Fitzgerald and Tammy Thomas joined two swimmers from last season's relay team, Erin McMorrow Lanny Schaffer, to the race in 1915.
The 200-medley relay had plenty of speed, finishing second to Florida State and setting a school record in the process.
The record was 3 seconds off the national qualifying time, but it broke the school record of 1:54.7 set a year ago at the same meet.
Chiefs rise up against 'Hawks and bruise Beeson

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—After the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Seattle Seahawks in September, Seattle coach Jack Patera said the Seahawks' biggest problem was containing the Chiefs' pass rush. Yesterday, the Seahawks faced the same problem last season with a 72-90 over the Seahawks in front of 42,600 in Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs picked off upressively where they left off in September. A 28-yard touchdown pass from Steve Feller to J.T. Smith in the Chiefs opening drive and a 4-yard run by Ted McMickle mid-turn was a key to the Chiefs to quickly build a 14-0 lead.
A fumble by the Seahawks late in the first quarter set up the Chiefs' third score on Saturday, early in the second period. It was Gant's first touchdown as a professional. Jan Stenner also kicked a 27-yard field goal, and he scored the first half with the Chiefs on top 24-6.
SEATTLE COLD NOT get untracked in the first half. Two of the Chiefs' first touchdowns were the result of Seahawks Zorn was forced to throw quick passes because of pressure from the Chiefs' defensive line and was intercepted three

Sylvester Hicks put the most pressure on Zorn.
Early in the third quarter Gary Green intercepted a Zorn pass in Kansas City territory. That turnover led to a 31-yard field goal by Stenuerd.
Seattle followed with touchdown runs 1 yard by Dan Doornock and 12 yards by Sam Fountain, but down the Seattle drives were well more than than they threw more consequentially than in the last.
EARLY IN THE fourth quarter, the Chiefs scored a touchdown on a 3-yard run by McKnight, his second touchdown of the day.
The victory gave the Chefs a two-game sweep over the Seahawks this season and improved their record to 6-8. The loss dropped the Seahawks to 7-7.
YES, I THINK it's meaningful to win No. 8." Levy said. It is the first time the Chiefs have won more than five games since 1972.
The 37 points were the most scored by the Chiefs in the two-year coaching tenure of Levy and the most by Chiefs since the final game of the 1976 season.
"Now we have a chance to have a .500 season (8-8)," he said.

KANAS S CITY, Mo.-Merry Beeson has two overriding goals - to get his degree in petroleum engineering and to play football (team to the NFL) chaffos.
He's just 12 credit hours away from the degree, but less than 24 hours ago the playoff hopes faded. Yesterday in Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City State Bees and Boston's Seattle Seahawks 37-21 to create any remaining post-season plans.
"EVERYTHING IS JUST happening to everyone at once," he said. "I would like to say the injuries shouldn't bother us. We should be professional enough to step in and keep it going, but when you feel the pain hurt, it is going to make a difference."
The former Kansas middle linebacker, drafted by Seattle in 1977, is the quarterback defense, but even he had to quarterback from the sidelines after a second quarter
"I don't want to have to worry about the black and blue marks on my body forever," he said. "I was in chemical

engineering, but I swished after I got out of school. If I could ever get my degree, it wanted it in the hardest thing possible. I was a very shy person. I may send my life in a wipwub tub.
When he left, it was with Nolan Cornwell and the heart and soul of KU's team. "We haven't come anywhere near a winning season since but beacon says the wins were made," Cornwell said.
STUDYING ISN'T Beeson's only Lawrence activity. He has stayed close to the KU football program, assisting in recruiting and spring practice.
"Don Fambrough is a great recruiter," he said. "He recruited me. He's recruited everybody. He's a sincere man who won't lie. He won't tell fallin'. He's such a believer that when something is going to happen, it does."
But while Kansas may be coming on, the Seahawks are staying put. The Seahawks emerged last season with a high-flying offense and gambling strategy, but the Seahawks have fallen flat from inconsistency, despite a 7-2 record.
**maybe next year, but you never know." Beesen said. "You have to play pretty consistently or you can't do it, and that's obviously. I wish we knew what we could do."
After two more games, Beeson can forget those concerns for awhile and worry about his other goal—a vow to finish his degree this spring.
