Northwestern State defeats KU women
The KU women's basketball team lost to Northwestern State 79-63 last night in Natchitoches, La. to drop its record to 3-2.
"At times we played well," KU head coach Marian Washington said yesterday. "Overall there's some things that need to be changed and worked on."
Kansas led 39-36 at halftime, but Northwestern State came out and scored 12 straight points to take a nine-point lead.
The leading scorer for the Jayhawks was forward Sandy Shaw with 17 points. Center Vickie Adkins had 14 points and guard Toni Webb chipped in 11.
The Jayhawks' next game is Saturday against Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla.
Don't forget KU I.D.
Students must have a valid KU I.D. card to get into basketball games with a student ticket, ticket manager Kent Weiser said last night. Weiser said that information was printed on the tickets, but that some students still did not bring proper identification.
Weiser said that there would be no exceptions allowed if a student did not have a valid I.D. card. Students without identification were turned away at last night's game and Tuesday night's game.
Weiser said that students could lend their tickets as long as they gave it to another student. The names on the I.D. and the ticket would not be checked, Weiser said, but the photo on the I.D. must be that of the ticket holder.
Clubs hold tourney
The KU women's and men's volleyball clubs will host a 20-team volleyball tournament Saturday in Robinson Gymnasium.
The tournament, which includes clubs from Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City, begins at 9 a.m. The championship game is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Kansas will enter two men's teams and one women's team in the tourney. The men's Division A team placed second in a Nov. 23 tournament in Topeka. This will be the first contest of the season for the women's club.
Bronkie, head coach of the men's club, said he expected both Kansas teams to perform well against the 20 area teams.
"The men will play some of the same teams they played in Topeka, and they did well there," Jonkke said yesterday. "We just hope to get a good fan turnout."
KC's Smith injured
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs yesterday signed rookie free agent George Shorthose and placed running back Jeff Smith on the injured reserve list with a sprained ankle, a club soakedman said.
Shorthose, a 6-foot, 198-pound wide receiver from Missouri, was a sixth-round draft choice by the Miami Dolphins this year but was released in the preseason.
Smith will be out the rest of the season with a sprained ankle suffered in last week's game against Seattle.
Shorthose reported to Arrowhead Stadium yesterday and is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Anderson still hurt
ST. LOUIS — Running back Oteh Anderson, already shelved three straight games with a calf injury, also will miss the St. Louis Cardinals' game Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, the National Football League team says.
"It hasn't responded," Coach Jim Hanifan said yesterday of Anderson's leg, under treatment since the seventh-year back was injured Nov. 10. "There's still a lot of swelling in there."
Hanifan had expressed hope last week that Anderson would be able to play for the first time since he was hurt in the closing stages of St. Louis' 16-0 defeat four weeks ago against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Questionable for Sunday's game is offensive tackle Tooie Robbins, who sat out last week's 35-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a pulled hamstring.

KU wins by 22; team is now 5-1
By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff
Forward Danny Manning and center Greg Drilling each scored 21 points to lead Kansas to a 101-79 victory over the Western Carolina Catamounts last night in Allen Field House.
Kansas, ranked 7th in the latest Associated Press poll, is now 5-1. Western Carolina dropped to 0-2.
Head coach Larry Brown was so pleased with the win that he gave the team the night off. Brown made the team practice after Tuesday night's win over Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.
Kansas grabbed 37 rebounds, compared with 24 for Western Carolina
The Jayhawks' next game is Saturday in Greensboro, N.C., against North Carolina State. The game will begin at 11:30 a.m. and will be televised on KCTV Channel 5 and WIBW Channel 13.
"Tonight we were real aggressive," said Dreiling. "I think the big key in this game was that we stuck it to them on defense."
"I was really pleased," Brown said after last night's game. "I thought in spots we were great."
The Jayhawks shot 61.3 percent from the field and led at one time by 28 points.
The Catamounts tied the game at 12 five minutes into the game on a jump shot by center Andre Gault. Kansas then took the lead 14-12 on an 8-foot jump shot by Calvin Thompson and never looked back. Dreiling and forward Kern Kellogg scored 10

points apice in the first half to give Kansas a 44-31 halftime lead.
Head coach Larry Brown showed his displeasure with the officiating during the first half of last night's basketball game against Western Carolina.
Western Carolina head coach Steve Cottrell said the Kansas team last night looked like a completely different team than the one that played Tuesday.
Thompson, who scored eight points for the night, said the Jayhawks wanted to play well after a poor showing Tuesday.
"I have a lot of respect for the fact that they kept working and hustling," he said. "A lot of kids could have folded and said. 'Hey, we're not supposed to be in Kansas.'"
"This was the true Kansas team we saw tonight," he said. "I might go out and have the team practice tonight. They (Kansas) deserve to be nationally ranked."
Manning, who played with his left hand taped after bruising it against Southern Illinois, had a team-high seven rebounds. Kellogg scored 18 points and forward Archie Marshall added 10 points and five rebounds for the Jayhawks.
"Tonight we had a lot of effort from everybody," he said. "We wanted to please Coach Brown after last night's game. We wanted to come back and prove to ourselves that we were a much better team than what we showed last night."
Brown was pleased that he was able to play a lot of substitutes, and he praised the Western Carolina team.
'Hawks take heed, repent
And it came to pass after the fifth game, on a Tuesday evening, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the field house; so that all the players in the field house trembled.
And the managers brought forth the players from the locker room to meet with Coach; and they stood at the nether part of the court.
And Allen Field House was altogether on a smoke, because the Coach descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole court quaked greatly.
Thou shall concentrate hard during practice and during games.
And Coach spake these words, saying: Thou shall play hard during a game, as thou should play hard during practice, which is what thou will do now after thou didn't play hard in a game.
Thou shall play a good man-to-man defense.
Thou shall rebound hard and box out thy opponent.
And thou shall not play sluggishly as thou did against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. Thou are the chosen

"Last night (Tuesday night) was probably the poorest exhibition of effort we've ever put out," Kansas center Greg Dreiling said after last night's game. "The fear of Coach Brown was in us tonight, and that will really make your feet dance.
players and shalt not play a close game against such an opponent. Thou will repent for your sins by playing hard against Western Carolina.
All the players answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Coach hath said, we will do.
And so it was that after Kansas defeated Western Carolina 101-79 last night, the players told their stories of how the fear of Coach was instilled into them after Tuesday night's game against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.
better game, because we sure didn't want to have to go to practice again tonight."
Head coach Larry Brown sure didn't want to see another game that would require another post-game practice.
"I don't know if it helped," Brown said of the post-game practice. "We really haven't practiced that much. We've played well in spots but tonight we played as well as we have all year."
Forward Danny Manning wasn't thinking about the wrath of Coach when the post-game practice began.
"I was wondering how long we were going to practice," Manning said. "But it really helped us out a lot. Sometimes you have to question his methods, but he sure gets the results."
"I was thinking about how long it was going to be, but I still knew that however long the practice was, we were still going to work hard."
But then again, Brown has proven that what works is not 'necessarily fun. A little fire, smoke and fear. That's what works.

Hull sinks crucial free throws; JV wins 65-61
"I wasn't concentrating early in the game, but I knew we really needed the free throws in the end." Hull said.

The Kansas junior varsity basketball team struggled at the free-throw line, converting just 17-of-32 shots. But center Rodney Hull hit two throws with 18 seconds left to give the Jayhawks a 65-61 victory over Barton County Community College last night in Allen Field House.
Hull, who had hit only 4-of-10 free throws in the game, was fouled by guard Romy Anderson after he missed a chance to tie the game with a 12-foot jump shot.
With the game tied at 59 and one minute, 37 seconds left in the game, Mathis gave the Jayhawks the lead with two free throws. Kansas increased the lead to four when forward Scooter Barry scored on a back-door lavin.
Barton County, whose record fell to 6-2, got to within a basket when forward Eric Smith scored on a 5-foot bank shot with 50 remaining. Mathis traveled, giving Barton a chance, but Anderson missed the game-tying jump shot.
despite the team's 53 percent free-throw shooting.
Guard Darrin Feiler, the Cougars leading scorer, who has averaged 18.9 points a game was held to four
"Rodney and Monte (Mathis) stepped up and hit some big free throws for us down the stretch." Buford said.
Hull said because the varsity and junior varsity ran the same offenses and defenses, the transition was not that difficult.
"It's been a little awkward, but everybody played well when we had to." Barry said. "We were down by 23 against Allen and only lost by eight, so we're starting to play better as a team."

points. Anderson leed Barton County with 13 points, and Hull and Barry had 16 apiece to lead Kansas, now 1-1. Monday, Kansas lost to Allen County Community College 91-83.
The Cougars narrowed the Jayhawks' 36-30 halftime lead to 39-35, but Kansas outscored Barton County 7-2 to go up 46-38 with 12 minutes left in the game. Hull scored three points in the spurt and Barry and forward Jeff Palmer added a basket.
"Rodney, Scooter and Jeff Palmer really had big games for us tonight," Buford said. "This was an opportunity that everybody has worked hard for."
Anderson brought Barton County back again with four straight baskets. The fourth one, a 15-foot baseline jumper, narrowed KU's
lead 50-48. Guard Tim Simoneau then tied the game at 50 with 7:47 left.
Barry and Mathis hit back-to-back shots to give Kansas a 54-10 lead. After point guard Altono Campbell scored on a reverse layup, Barton tied the game at 59 when Bret Coffey scored two of his 12 points off an offensive rebound and Anderson hit one of two free throws.
The smaller Kansas team outbounded Barton County 37-36.
"They had three starters that were 6-8, and another one coming off the bench." Buford said. "We don't have anyone like that, but we did a good job of rebounding tonight."
McEnroe humbled by giant

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Zivnovijin, one of the biggest men in the history of professional tennis, humbled McEnroe into submission. 2-6, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4, 6-0, in a three-hour match and caused an outburst of temper from his vanquished foe that gave a new dimension to the term "Ugly American."
MELBOURNE, Australia — A giant of a man from Yugoslavia, unseeded Slobodan Zivojinovic, toppled one of professional tennis' giants, John McEnroe, yesterday and knocked the petulant American out of the $1.5 million Australian Open Tennis Championships.
"You're going to pay for this and I mean it," McEroe screamed at Zivojnovic as he wilted under the Yugoslav's non-stop barrage.
McEnores, a three-time Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion and the world's No. 2 ranked player, was booed hustily by the crowd as he grabbed his racquet bag and stormed off
The capacity center court crowd of 9,500 gave Zivinojovic a standing ovation as McEnroe ignored the officials and his obligatory press conference and jumped into a waiting car with his actress girlfriend, Tatum O'Neal, and made a hasty exit from the stadium.
the court without waiting to congratulate Zivoilovic.
McEenro, who had already been fined $2,750 on two charges of abuse during the Australian Open, was hit with another $1,000 fine for refusing to attend the compulsory press conference.
His stunning loss also cost him $250,000 because it prevented him from edging ahead of points leader Ivan Lendl in this year's $800,000 Grand Prize.
The Australian tennis fans, who have had their fill of McEuro's antics, found a new hero in the gentle Yugoslav. They repeatedly chanted, "Bobo, Bobo", as the amaini giant, rated 66th in the world, moved into tomorrow's semifinals against
titleholder and No. 3 seed, Mats
Wilander of Sweden.
Although Wilander finished off Kriek, the 1981-82 Australian champion, in straight sets, he said he had suffered a recurrence of an injury to the inside of his right arm from trying to serve too hard.
Immediately after defeating McEnroe, Zivojinovicphoned his wife, Zorita, in Belgrade to tell her the news that he had beaten the world's No.2 player.
He refused to elaborate on McEriens's taunts across the net.
"Zorita was very happy for me, but I am afraid I woke up my 3-year-old son, Philip, who started to cry," he said.
"I can't tell what he said," he said.
"I don't think he meant anything bad. I mean, he's really a good guy and and a good player, so what can I say? Everybody knows McEnroe is an unbelievable player."

NFL union asserts turf is rough issue
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The National Football League is indifferent and callous to the increasing number of players injured on artificial turf, a player's union spokesman said yesterday.
M. I. Duberstein, research director of the NFL Players Association, said player injuries rose 18 percent in 1984 over 1983, based on statistics supplied by the league.
In 1984, 947 players suffered 1,657 injuries. The year before, 802 players suffered 1,388 injuries, Duberstein said. In 1984, there was an average of 8.01 injuries a game on turf, compared to 6.45 on grass, he said.
But the league has restricted injury information for the current season, he said, speaking before
members of the New Jersey Turfgrass Association meeting at Resorts International.
About 83 percent of the players in the league favor returning to natural surfaces, Duberstein said.
A study of artificial surfaces used by Seattle high school teams showed a greater number of injuries, Duberstein said.
He said professional players also had suffered more injuries on artificial turf. For example, he said the Colts' injury rate doubled between 1983 and 1984 when they moved from Baltimore, where they played on grass, to Indianapolis, where they played on artificial turf.
Jim Heffernan, a spokesman for the NFL, said the league reported on player injuries every week, and had not changed its policy.
