Sports Friday, Nov. 8, 1985 University Daily Kansan 13 News Briefs Jayhawks to meet Czech team tonight Kansas will continue its exten- tion season tonight against the Czechoslovakian National Team at 7:30 in Allen Field House. The exhibition is the third of eight stops in the United States for the Czech team. They continue their tour Saturday with a game against Indiana. Larry Brown, Kansas head basketball coach, said earlier in the week that he would use the game to assess the team's progress. Kansas opens its regular season Nov. 22 in Denver. Colo. has suspended Derrinepure in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament. "We really haven't the opportunity to go up against anybody other than ourselves," Brown said. "So it will be a good gauge to see them and find. They have some big athletes and not that much. It should be a good test for us." The Czech team has two 7-footers in its lineup — 7-foot Juri Okac and 7-foot Jaroslav Skala The probable starting lineup for Karnas is Ron Kellogg and Danny Manning at forward, Greg Dreiling at center and Calvin Thompson and Cedric Hunter at guard. Swimmers in Dallas The Kansas swim teams toormow will be in Dallas to swim against Southern Methodist and Texas A&M. Kempf said it was a big meet for the Jahyahs because they were swimming against two of the top swim teams in the nation. Last season, the SMU women's team finished 10th in the National College Athletic Association meet, and the Texas A&M women finished 11th. Kansas placed 14th. The Mustang men finished seventh and the Aggies finished 23rd in the championship. Minnesota hosts KU In the Big Eight Invitational, the women's team came off with a victory, and the men finished third. The men's tennis team will play Minnesota today in a dual match in Minneapolis. It is the team's last competition of the fall season. Minnesota is in everybody's top 20 and most people think they are a top 10 team, so we'll have our hands full," head coach Scott Perelman said. "They will have about 1,000 people at the match, so it will be a good test." MSU star arrested Skiles, a 21-year-old senior from Plymouth, Ind., had been expected to lead the team this season. He will miss next Monday's exhibition game with the Czechoslovakian national team. "The length of suspension will be determined upon further investigation," a statement from the school said. MSU spokesman Nick Vista said Coach Jud Heathcote will review the specific charge against Skiles From Kansan wire reports Bowl officials will watch game closely By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff If Kansas or Colorado are entertaining thoughts of going bowling this year, tomorrow's game is a pivotal one, a member of the Independence Bowl selection committee said yesterday. Kansas, 5-4, and Colorado, 5-3, are two of several teams the committee is considering for the Dec. 21 bowl in Shreveport, La., Bob Vanatta, Louisiana Tech athletic director and Independence Bowl selection committee member said. "We are looking at a lot of options and combinations." Vanatta said. "But its hard to look at possible match ups now." Official bids cannot be offered until 6 p.m. Nov. 23. Vanatta said that if Kansas defeated Colorado and at least split its final two games, the bowl committee should consider the Jahwah wks.7.5 report Colorado, which went 1-10 last season, also could get in the bowl picture with its sixth win of the season, and head coach Bill McCartney could clinch his first winning season at Colorado. "There is still a lot for us to salvage this season, and it all rides on the KU game," McCartney said. "We're not out of the bowl picture by any means." Kansas, which gave up 328 yards in offense to Oklahoma last week, will have an advantage playing against its second wishbone team in a row, head coach Mike Gottfried said. "We've worked against the wihbone for two weeks now, and we should have learned some things from the Oklahoma game." Gottfried said. "But Colorado has different challenges which could offset some of that." Cecil McGehee, Colorado's Colorado Game 10, Nov. 9 Lawrence associate athletic director, said there was a lot of bowl-talk in Boulder, and the Kansas game was another important game. "It items that every game this year has been a must game," McGehee said. "But the Kansas game takes on added meaning because you know we have a chance at a winning season and a possible bowl bid." Gottfried said he wasn't concerned about bowl bids, but only about winning the game. "We're just looking for our sixth win and a break-even point," Gottfried said. "It would be something if we could get one (a bowl bid)." In addition to the Jayhawks and Buffaloes, other teams bein- con sidered by the committee include Army, Mississippi State, Louisiana State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, South Carolina and Clemson. Vanatta said that after tomorrow it games the possible bowl picture should become clearer. Besides the Colorado-Kansas game, Clemson plays North Carolina, Minnesota plays Wisconsin, South Carolina goes against Florida State and Tennessee plays Ole Miss. One of the 11 committee members will be at Memorial Stadium for the Kansas-Colorado game. It will be the third time the Independence Bowl hosts Kansas this season. Scouts also saw Kansas State and Oklahoma games. Vanatta said Kansas and Colorado had three points in their 'favor this season — wide open offenses, accessibility and teams that were "hungry" for a bowl bid. Offensively the Jayhawks are averaging 411 yards and 27.9 points per game. Colorado is averaging 326. 5 yards and 20.9 points per game philipis pel-gibre "My basic philosophy is to look for a team with a wide open space. Vanatta said, "Colorado doesn't throw the ball as much as Kansas, but they still have an exciting offense." Vanatta said the committee would look for at least one "turnpike" team. A team within 500 to 700 miles from Shreveport would be desirable because it is important to get fans from both teams to attend the bowl. Vanatta characterized both Kansas and Colorado as hungry teams because it has been several years since either has gone to a bowl game. Kansas' last bowl appearance was in the 1981 Hall Of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. The Buffaloes' last post-season appearance was in the 1977 Orange Bowl in Miami. "It's always exciting when we invite hungry teams to the bowl," Vanatta said. Volleyball team sweeps Panthers By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff The Kansas volleyball team had little trouble defeating Eastern Illinois 15-6, 15-11, 15-9 last night in a prelude to tonight's match with Oklahoma. Kansas lost to the Sooners in four games last week in Norman, Okla. Despite winning a game, KU head coach Frankie Albitz said that Kansas wasn't even in the match with Oklahoma. Tonight, she said, that might be different. Kansas' record is now 15-10 After tomorrow one of the teams can start setting the table for a possible bowl berth. "You can always win a match," she said last night. "But I don't expect them to give us The match begins at 7:30 in Robinson Center. Kansas started quickly with 21 kills in the first game against Eastern Illinois. The Jayhawks jumped to a 8-4 lead and closed out the game. The Jayhawks played because of several Jayhawk errors. The Fusiliers up 5-1 when Kansas players killed the ball long or into the net three times and stepped under the net twice. anything. Right now, I just hope to stay with them. Any team is beatable." Kansas tied the game at 5-5 on a block by Julie Ester, but eastern Illinois went ahead again 8-5. The game went to 10-10, and Kansas closed it out 15-11 on two kills by Judy Desch. "We didn't know anything about this team," said KU setter Monica Spencer. "We just tried to play our game. Once we started making them make mistakes, we did OK." In the third game, the lead changed hanoi four times before Kansas went ahead 9-8. The Jayhawks moved to 14-9 on three kills by Ester and two by hitter Catalina Suarez, and they won the match on a service ace by Suarez. The match was held in Robinson Center, where spectators could hear every hit and all of Albiz's instructions. For the first time this season, Albiz called out plays during the points. "I just started that," she said. "Until now I didn't think they could handle it."

Tourney bracket may be replayed By Harlen Makemson Of the Kansan sports staff John McGrath, Interfraternity Council adviser, said yesterday that the charges that Delta Upsilon used A few hours after the Hill Championship is played Sunday in Memorial Stadium, the Interfraternity Council will have a judicial board meeting to decide whether one bracket of the Greek Trophy tournament will need to be played again. an ineligible player in the men's Greek Trophy tournament were serious enough to warrant the meeting. Grant Tennison, president of IFC, said that fraternity teams must play by the rules of Recreation Services, as well as IFC rules. He said that if an infraction did occur, IFC rules would have been violated, not "To be fair to everyone, we need to have a judicial meeting." McGrath said.

"But I would like to see that be the same team." "Strangely enough, what we could Tennison said that another option the judicial board could consider would be a redistribution of Sport Cup points. Judge says prejudice hurt boxer United Press International NEWARK, N.J. — A federal pug-yesterday ordered New Jersey to free Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the former middleweight boxer whose 19-year battle to clear himself of murder charges was made famous in a ballad by Bob Dylan. The judge ruled that Carter, 48, who is black and has been imprisoned for all but six months since his 1966 arrest, was the victim of racial prejudice in his original 1967 trial and 1976 retrial for a triple murder in a Paterson, N.J., tavern. U. S. District Judge H. Lee Sarokin set aside Carter's conviction and life sentence and said Carter might have been found innocent if prosecutors had not used prejudicial evidence against him. The judge said he hoped "that constitutional considerations, as well as justice and compassion, will prevail" and that prosecutors will not bring Carter to trial again. One of Carter's lawyers, Edward Graves, talked to the former middleweight title contender at Rahway State Prison after the ruling. "He is elated, of course," Graves said of Carter, who could be freed after a bond hearing in federal court Friday. "He wants out of there now. He has never given up." John Goceljak, first assistant Passaic County prosecutor, said his office will not say until the hearing Friday whether it will drop the case, retry Carter or appeal Sarokin's ruling. "We just received the judge's opinion and we're reviewing it," he said. Carter will not be in court Friday, but could be released from Rahway within hours after bond is set, his lawyers and prison officials said. Carter's case drew national attention in 1975 when Bob Dylan wrote and recorded an eight-minute song called "Hurricane," which claimed the former boxer had been framed and "falsely tried." The song helped build momentum for Carter's request for a second trial, granted by the New Jersey Supreme Court in 1976. Dylan was in California and not available for comment on Thursday's ruling, said Elaine Schock, his publicist at CBS Records in New York. Chad DeShazo/KANSAN Allan Hanson, professor of anthropology, returns a serve from his wife, Benson, who was playing at the Robinson courts yesterday afternoon, and he played tennis at different courts around Lawrence whenever he had the chance. Backward backhand Buoniconti undergoes operation United Press International MIAII — Marc Buonconcini, paralyzed from a college football injury, underwent an hour-long operation at Jackson Memorial Hospital yesterday to stabilize the injured vertebrae in his neck. Buonconi is still listed in serious condition and is in the intensive care unit. Baderman said the operation was carried out to aid the healing of the damaged second and third vertebrae. "It will get him off his back, he was very much immobilized before," she said. Bounconti was paralyzed from the neck down in the accident. Football predictions
