Spikers succumb to K-State power
By JIM SMALL Sports Writer
Kansas State University combined a powerful offense with a stingy defense to defeat the KU women's volleyball team last night 15-17 and 15-13.
K-State's victory dea a severe blow to KU's hopes for a regional playoff berth. to gain that berth, the Hawks have now to beat Michigan in an exhibition defeat K-State in Manhattan Oct. 31. KU must win by at least 12 points over overcome the deficit, and margin last night in Robinson Gymnasium.

The Wildcats scored the first four points of their season in the second game. But the second game was a different story. With Tina Wilson and June Koleler, team captain, leading the team, KU put on its own armor.
But K-State ran off six straight points for a 13-12 lead and an eventual 15-13 win.
In the third game, the Wildcats continued to dominate, taking an 8-1 advantage. But KU came back and won seven consecutive talies to even the score.
The score changed hands until K-State's Kathy Teah, who continually scored points with powerful spikes, topped a shot over Kolber and Kelsey R妨治 to clinch the game.
Despite the sweep, KState coach Ron Spies said he wasn't overwhelmed by his team's play.
"We were making a lot of mistakes and that's not typical of us," Said we. "We were not very consistent. I think we were not consistent, but we were when we leave for the Houston Invitational."
"KU's points were scored by us. They didn't force us to make many errors. I'm just glad we got out of here without
give five games. I don't think we've ever gotten out without having to go five before." KU coach Bob Lockwood said that the two final games could have gone either way.
"We played very well in those last games," he said. "They were your ball games to the very end. K-State just happened to come out on ton."
As for the first game, Lockwood blamed KU's problems on poorly served servers.
"We didn't react well to the serve, especially in the first game," Lockwood said. "We started to receive a little better offer than two games, that's why they were closer."
Koleber agreed with Lockwood.
"We stood back a lot and let the ball come to us. We weren't always in good position and K-State took advantage of that."
K-State's Beets Kolarik had a different opinion on the three-game sweep.
were" *Kolarik* said. "We just psyched them out. We were ready to play right off and they weren't.*
KU setter Shelly Fox gave another reason for the KU loss.
"The team that controls the tempo will win the volleyball game," Fox said. "K-State controlled the tempo. We always have to move forward and it's hard to set up a troop that waits."
The powerful Teahun, who Lockwood was he was particularly concerned with before the match, said hard hitting wasn't the reason for victory.
"Our offense and defense weren't that great," he said. "It's our outskirts, which won it for them. They were the hottest especially Koleber and April Beaver, and they hit well tonight but we blocked them."
When the two teams square off again in Manhattan, Teahan said the results would still be the same.
"We're going to win," she said. "They got us up so the next time we little difference, we all up. They it probably go to the middle more because they're a good middle hitting team. But it doesn't make any difference."

Stuffed spiker
KU's Tina Wilson missed her attempt to block a Kansas State spike. KU missed too many spikes as the Wildcats swept to 15-7-15 and 15-14 victories last night in Robinson Gymnastics. The KS state victory, a product of a powerful offense and stingy defense, dea a severe defeat. But the Browns have the Hawks to chance at even with the 'Cats Oct. 31, this time in Manhattan.

New golf coach hired to take over in spring
A former runner-up in the NCAA Golf Championships will coach the University of Kansas men's golf team this spring, interim coach Jerry Wugah said last night.
Sports Writer
Ross Randle, a nine-year pre from Ames,
Iowa, will take over in January, and also
teaching at the Alvamar Golf Course,
Waukee said.
The selection ends a three-month search to replace former coach John Hanna, who resigned in August to work for the state Department of Education.
Waugh said Randall was recommended by Gary McCory, a pre and friend of Randa1. McCory and Randall once traveled together in tournaments.
Randall said yesterday in a telephone interview, "I was hired by Alamary major as a teaching pro. I'm going to be teaching the KU men's team as well.
Randall played at San Jose State University in San Jose, Calif., and finished second in the 1976 NCAA Championships to Halein Trew, his U.S. Open champion. He also served in the amendments for six years before joining the Ames Golf Course staff three years ago.
"I met some of the KU players a while
back, and I was impressed. I think they have a fine program out there."
Waugh said Randall would also develop a junior golf program and sponsor summer golf clinics in Lawrence.
Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, said he was pleased with the selection.
"He'll be out here in January to look at the team," he said. "He'll work with the players on techniques. Ross won't come to me too often, but if he off, he'll be there to help our guys."
Waugh said he and Max Kennedy, interim coach and Alvamar pro, wanted to hire a young person the players could talk to.
"Ross is an outstanding teacher. He's played on the pro tour for six to five years, so he certainly has a lot of experience and should be a valuable asset for the golf club."
"The people at Alavara are a very high caliber," Marcum said. "The situation offers us the opportunity to hire a top-flight instructor for our golfers.
Marcum said, "I think the golfers need someone with a high level of ability. They need someone they can go to with problems, and make little things that make or break a golfer."
Big 8's power declining
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—The Big Eight sent an unprecedented five teams to post-season football bowl games in 1972. But as four days passed, the game this year. As does four. And maybe they'll win.
Only perennial bowl representatives have been chosen. Vince a 12 game this season. Both the Sooners and Cormorants are unbeaten through four games in holding down the lead in the conference.
Missouri is the third—and final—Big Eight post-season heat, possibly even a double. The 15th-ranked Tigers seem intent on playing themselves into a dark horse role.
The Tigers can expect to lose to both Oklahoma and Nebraska this fall and a fourth loss to the likes of other Oklahoma players. The game will运送 Run Missouri right out of the big picture.
Missouri hasn't played a first half in any of its four games thus far and didn't even bother to play the second half its last time out. That was the embarrassing 21-0 attack on the hands of Texas before a record crowd in excess of 79,000 two weeks ago.
Missouri received a bowl bid last year with a 7-4 record but would have sat out the post-season if it not had won a massive victory. In addition, dumping them No. 2-ranked Neshrada 35-19.
The Big Eight has had a disasterous nonconference season that has stripped most of the glitter from its "best college football conference" maruine.
Big Eight teams lost to the likes of non-
Iowa State went to a bowl the past two years and posted 8-3 regular season records for the three seasons. But the Cyclones played in a conference without having yet played a conference game.
The only nonconference victory in which the Big Eight can take collective pride was the 41-17 thrashing Nebraska handed Penn State. That total could double this weekend if Oklahoma can get past Texas, which has dumped Iowa State as well as Missouri.
Iowa State hit an all-time low last Saturday with a 24-7 whipping at home at the hands of 21-point underdog Pacific.
powers Iowa, Pacific, Tulsa, Drake and Oregon this fall in addition to the usual collection of setbacks to the likes of Texas, Pittsburgh, South Carolina and Auburn.
"I've never been associated with a more negative loss," said Iowa State Coach Donnie Duncan. "It was like being chased by someone in a dream."
Considering its injury situation, Oklahoma State is a creditible 2-1 with road records and 6-4 in NCAA basketball. Carolina, 4-1. Kansas State normally could take pride in its 2-2 non-league record but not when the Wildcats should be 3-1. KState was ranked against underdog Tulsa last Saturday, 94.
Colorado has been a disaster under Chuck Fairbanks with a 1-3 nonconference mark and Kansas is 1-3 under Don Fambrough. But the Jayhawks have nothing of which to count on, even on the road at No. 11 Michigan and No. 14. Michigan as well as at OusySacryle, or No.
