Prep all-american to sign with 'Hawks
The Kansas women's basketball team has a verbal commitment from Lisa Braddy, the top KU recruit, to sign a letter of intent to play for the Jahawks, assistant coach Mike Prusinski and Mike Prusinski said yesterday.
Braddy, a 5-foot-10 guard for St. Theresa's Academy in Kansas City, Mo., was a two-time Street and Smith basketball magazine high school All-American. She is her school's all-time leading scorer. Braddy was recruited by more than 200 schools, but had narrowed her choice to Kansas or Louisiana Tech.
The Kansas team will visit St. Theresa's Academy Saturday for an intrasquid scrimmage. The team held a scrimmage Saturday at Allen Field House with the white team defeating the blue team 6:04.
Vickie Adkins led the white team with 22 points, followed by Evette Ott with 20 points. Kelly Jennings scored 20 points for the blue team, and Lisa Dougherty scored 16.
Sooners beat Kansas
The KU volleyball team lost Friday to Oklahoma University 8-15, 17-15, 4-15, 5-15 in Norman, Okla. The Jayhawks' Big Eight Conference record is now 2-5.
"We're running a fast offense now, and it really helped the outside hitters," KU coach Frankie Albite said yesterday.
Albizt said the team had not played well in the last three matches. Friday the team again had trouble with the net block.
She said the faster offense almost doubled the hitting percentage of the KU hitters.
"We weren't playing as a team at all," Albitz said.
The Sooners are second to Nebraska in the conference. Kansas will face OU again at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Mason gymnasium.
The Kansas university's soccer club boosted its record to 5-4 this weekend with victories over Rockwall College and Benedic-Colege.

KU swimmers take top spot in Invitational
By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff
The Kansas women's swim team didn't quite get its revenge -- that opportunity will come next spring -- but the Jayhawks got the next best thing.
The women won the Big Eight Invitational swim meet Saturday at the Robinson Natatorium and in the process defeated Nebraska, the team that ended Kansas' 10-year hold on the Big Eight Championship last season.
"I think we are a contender for the Big Eight title, but we have to prove ourselves," KU coach Gary Kempf said yesterday. "I think we took a big
The Jayhawks finished the two-day meet with 885 points. Nebraska was second with 741, followed by Iowa State with 507 and Missouri with 301 points.
The Jayhawks can get their full revenge next spring when the Cornhuskers hold the Big Eight Championships in Lincoln, Neb.
step in that direction by beating Nebraska so convincingly."
The Kansas men's swim team finished third in the invitation. The Cornhuskers won the meet with 744 points, followed by Iowa State, 580.5 Kansas, 411.5, Missouri 305, Southwest Missouri State, 237.5 and Drury 167.5.
Kempf said Grant Seavall and Glenn Trammel were the two top men performers for Kansas. Trammel finished second in the 100 backstroke, fourth in the 200 backstroke, sixth in the 200 Individual Medeley, and was an intergal part of the relay teams.
formance, especially because we finished fourth in the conference last year," Kempf said. "I was hoping we could have been closer to Iowa State (second place). We had a couple of relay teams disqualified, and that hurt us."
consistency," Kempf said. "Every time he was in the water he did a good job for us."
The KU women took advantage of the relays in its win. The Jayhawks won five relays and had teams finish second in two others. Kempf said the 200 and 400 freestyle times were probably the top two times in the country this year.
"I was pleased with the men's per
Seavall tied for second in the 100 butterfly and finished fifth in the 50 freestyle.
Kansas won the 202 freestyle relay in 1 minute 36.51 seconds, and the Jayhawks captured the 400 freestyle relay in 3:36.66.
"I was most pleased with Grant's
"Those are very fast times for this time of the year," Kempf said. "I'm not surprised by them because we have some real sprinters on the relay teams."
In addition to the women's relay results, Kempf said he was pleased with the performances of Tammy Sparr, Spry, LL Duncan and Bee Reici Drumm.
Kansas swept the top three spots in the 50 freestyle. Pease won the event in 24.11. Spry was second and Duncan finished third.
Pease notched two other individual wins — the 100 and 200 breaststroke. Duncan won the 100 backstroke and was second in the 100 freestyle. Ream was second in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, finishing behind Pease in both races. Spry won the 100 and 200 freestyle.

The Kansas men finished third and the women finished fourth out of 12 teams at the Mid-States Bowling Championships Saturday at Royal Crest Lanes in Lawrence.
The men finished with 14,888 pins, behind first place Wichita State with 15,498 and Nebraska with 15,155. Central Missouri State came in fourth with 14,861 pins.
Wichita State also won the women's competition with 15,242. West Texas State was second with 15,062. Kansas State was third with 13,846 and Kansas finished fourth with 13,467.
KU coach Mike Fine said this event had been rated as one of the toughest in the country.
"Overall we bowled fairly consistently." Fine said yesterday.
"Anytime we can get four girls averaging over 160, we are doing OK."
Lisa Lynn Hollon led the women with a 179 average, which was the seventh highest in the tournament. On the men's side, KU's top bowler, Wes Walcott, led the team again with a 196 average. His score was good enough for fifth place overall on the all-tournament team. First place went to Rick Scott of Nebraska with a 203 average.
The competition was a round-robin in which each team bowled against the other 11 teams. After every four games there was a placement round in which teams bowled by rank.
"We were really happy to have our men finish in third place and in front of Central Missouri State." Fine said. "They're a good team. For us to finish in front of them is significant. We knew going in that the women's battle would be between Wichita State and West Texas State."
In match play, the KU men finished 10-5 and the KU women were 11-4. The men lost three times to Central Missouri State and once each to Wichita State and Kansas State. The women lost twice each to Wichita State and Kansas State.
Fine said the team had always considered its conference, the Kansas-Nebraska Bowling Conference, to be one of the toughest. That claim was backed up as the top three men's teams and three of the top four women's teams in this tournament were from the conference.
In men's Independent Trophy competition, Biggest Bill's Buddies shut out Athletes in Action 7-0 Penthouse defeated Oread Dwellers 21-0, Minerva's Lions beat Village Square 28-0, Ode English slipped past Sky 19-13, Unknown stopped KU Band 27-7, Raiders stomped Peloponnesianes 42-0, and Bums and Mad Hatter both won by forfeit.

'Hawks take beating from wishbone
By Chris Lazzarino
Sports Editor
NORMAN, Okla. — The Oklahoma Sooners, trusting in their freshmanwished wishbone offense, made a wish for Saturday's game.
That wish. Don't let the Jayhawks, who were trusting in their pro-style passing offense, leave Norman with a win. Kansas stunned Oklahoma last year in Lawrence, and the Sooners didn't plan on being stunned two years in a row.
Well, the wishbone worked and the Sooners' wishes more than came true. This season, the Jayhawks were the ones who went home stunned, battered and bruised after being soundly beaten 48-6, dropping their record to 5-4 overall and 1-3 in the conference.
field, racking up 525 yards of offense.
Holley led all rushers with 162
yards on 19 carries, and completed
four of six passes for 82 yards and one
touchdown.
In fact, Holieway's rushing yardage was just 13 yards shy of Kansas' team-total 175 yards.
For the Sooners, now 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the conference, revenge was particularly sweet because they beat the Jayhawks with a substitute quarterback — Holley is filling in for sophomore Troy Alkman, who was the quarterback who had to fill in for the injured Danny Bradley when the Sooners played in Lawrence last year. Alkman was injured in the Sooners' Oct. 19 game against Miami.
Kansas quarterback Mike Norseth spent the afternoon running from big, fast and mean red jersies. He was sacked seven times and could manage only 98 yards passing with
In short, nothing went right for Norseth, who went into the game with an average of 320.1 yards of total offense a game, which was first in the Big Eight and third in the NCAA. If he wasn't being chased out of the pocket by All-America lineman Tony Casillas, he was being chased by All-Big Eight linebacker Brian Bosworth, who racked up three quarterback sacks and nine unassisted tackles.
no touchdowns and two interceptions, both of which resulted in touchdown drives for Oklahoma.
If he wasn't being chased, he was probably already on the ground, under a sea of red. The punishment came to an end for Norseth late in the third quarter when he hit his elbow on Bosworth's helmet — right after throwing his second interception.
After the game, Kansas head coach Mike Gottfried was, to say the least, impressed with Oklahoma.
"I've lined up against a lot of defensive teams, but never a better one than Oklahoma." Gottfried said. "They have everything — size, musc, cle, speed and coaching. What else is there?"
Kansas tailback Lynn Williams; whose playing status was questionable because of sore neck and should-ers, started the game, but didn't finish it. Williams suffered a knee injury in the second quarter and was forced to sit out the rest of the game.
Also suffering a knee injury was Kansas strong safety Marvin Mattox, who may be out for the season.
"We are really a beat-up football team," Gottfried said. "I've never had a队夹anged up. We were thin coming in. Then Norseth hurt his hand in the third quarter, and we lost Williams. When Williams went out, there went our running game. Mattox is out for the year, I think."
