From Kansan wire reports
'Hawks to face OU's second-string QB
By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff
When Kansas upset Oklahoma 28-11 last year, the Sooners were without their starting quarterback. When the Jayhawks face Oklahoma tomorrow in Norman, the eighthranked Sooners will again be without their starting quarterback, but this time it could help their wishbone offense.
By Frank Hansel
Freshman Jamelle Holieway will start for Oklahoma, 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the Big Eight, when they play Kansas, S-3 and 1-2, at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in Norman. Holieway is replacing the injured Troy Aikman, who broke his ankle in the Sooners' 27-14 loss to Miami.
Aikman replaced Danny Bradley against Kansas last year and had a miserable afternoon in Lawrence. He completed only two of 14 passes for
eight yards. One of his three interceptions was returned 63 yards for a touchdown by free safety Wayne Ziehler.
Oklahoma Game nine, Nov. 2 Lawrence
Aikman, a better passer than runner, established himself as the Sooners' quarterback in their winkle offence. Oklahoma was 3-1 under Aikman, but in three of those games he failed to score, more than 14 points.
Alkman's replacements, freshmen Holieway and a Eric Mitchell, led Oklahoma to a 59-14 win over Iowa State last week, and the offense gained 542 yards of offense.
"They are both suited for the
Holley ran for 76 yards and completed a 77-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Shepard against Iowa State. Mitchell relieved Holley and ran for 109 yards two touchdowns in four games, Alkman run for only 191 yards.
Switzer said the Sooners could still throw the ball if necessary.
wishbone offense," head coach Barry Switzer said yesterday. "That's why we recruited them."
Kansas head coach Mike Gottfried said the two freshman quarterbacks fit the Oklahoma offense like a glove, and the Jayhawks would have to concern themselves with stopping the wishbone attack.
"Their offense and ours are completely opposite, but if you make a mistake on either one it can cost you," Gott fried said.
Oklahoma will also have running back Spencer Tillman back in
uniform. Tillman started in the backfield before pulling his hamstring in the second quarter of the opening game against Minnesota. He carried nine times for 73 yards in just over a quarter.
"He has practiced this week and is a still a little rusty." Switzer said. "But, he will probably play some against Kansas."
Gottfried said Casillas had the same impact on defense as Oklahoma State's Leslie O'Neal.
The Oklahoma defense will also be stronger this week with the return of All-America nose tackle Tony Casillas, who suffered a strained knee in the first quarter against Texas on Oct. 12.
"We can't let that affect our offense," Gottfried said. "We've got to take the pressure off by mixing up our offense and keep the defense guessing."
The Kansas offense could have more pressure if tailback Lynn Williams doesn't play, Williams, the Jayhawks' best running threat, is still suffering a sore neck and shoulders. Williams has rushed for 327 yards since he was reinstated five games ago. Mike Rogers is the Jayhawks leading rusher with 366 yards in eight games.
Gottfried said he wouldn't know until game time whether Williams would play.
Center Paul Oswald is still recovering from a knee injury, and this week he will be replaced by a trio of centers, John Loncar, who started last week, Jay Allen and Pete Popovich. Gottfried was undecided on who would start.
"This week we're going to try and keep fresh legs in the game at all times," Gottfried said.
Wolf, Center beat top team
By Heather Fritz
Of the Kansan sports staff
Kansas tennis players Mike Wolf and Michael Center yesterday defeated the No.1 doubles team in the country at the Volvo All-American Tournament in Los Angeles.
Wolf and Center defeated Richard Matuszewski and Brandon Walters of Clemson 6-4, 7-6. The team from Clemson won the National Indoor Championships last year, and was needed at the tournament in Los Angeles.
"They beat the best team in the country," Scott Perelman, head tennis coach, said last night from Los Angeles. "They took 'em down. It was a big night for the 'Hawks. This will put us on the map."
'They beat the best team in the country. They took 'em down. It was a big night for the 'Hawks. This will put us on the map.'

KU tennis coach
"This is the biggest win Wolf and Center have ever had."
Earlier in the day, Wolf drew the No.1 single seed and lost. It was the second year in a row that Wolf had drawn the No.1 seed
"We're going to go out and get one now."
Wolf lost his first round singles match to Jim Grabb of Stanford 6-3, 3-6, 3-6.
"Last year Wolf also drew the No. 1 seed," Perelman said. "I'd like to say it's bad luck."
The loss was the first of the year for Wolf, who had won the Jayhawk Invitational and the Intercollegiate Indoor qualifier earlier this season.
Women drop Rec-A football
After that loss, Perelman said.
Perealm said that in the third set, Wolf held three-all points in the first two games Grabb served. In collegiate tennis, games are won at four points.
"It was a good match," Perelman said. "Wolf had numerous opportunities to win."

The women are vanishing.
It's not an episode of the Twilight Zone, but a fact of life for Recreation Services' football competition, according to Johnny Johnson, graduate assistant in charge of team sports for Recreation Services.
"Women's Rec-A football has almost disappeared," Johnson said Wednesday. "For the last three years it's been dropping."
The number of teams participating in intramural football this year dropped to 118, compared to 126 last year. However, the men's divisions have remained constant, while women's Rec-A football competition has vanished altogether, at least for this semester.
There are three levels of competition in intramurals. Trophy league is the highest level of competition, followed by a junior league and a youth league.
The lack of interest also has spread to softball, in which there were no women's Ree-A teams, and also to some Greek women's football teams, which aren't involved in this year's tournament.
Elizabeth Morr, president of Alpha Phi sorority, 1602 High Drive, said she hoped her house could enter the basketball competition next semester, but the members have been too many other activities to enter the football tournament.
"We didn't have enough people to really support it." Morr said. "We haven't done any other team sports yet."
Julie Stein, president of Sigma Kappa sorority, 1325 West Campus Road, said her house did not play football because of the time taken by philanthropies, but did participate in softball and planned to take part in volleyball.
"We set up our schedule, and there are other things we won't get to participate in," Stein said. "We like to keep our schedule open."
Stein also said her house was unaware of the procedure when games during softball season were rescheduled.
"No one knew we needed to call," Stein said. "No one was contacted about the schedule."
Johnson said that a lot of confusion about scheduling could be avoided if teams followed a simple rule — call if in doubt.
"Teams are to assume that games are on unless they call us." Johnson said.
He said any rain outs and changes in scheduling would be posted on the Rec-Info line, 864-3546, by 3 p.m.
If there is a rain out, the schedules are moved back a day during tournament play but are not made up during the regular season because of tight scheduling and because it is not important in determining a champion.
"The regular season is just practice since everyone makes the tournament," Johnson said.
Given that women's Rec-A participation is dropping in other sports as well as football, Johnson said, there could be a more optimistic way to look at the trend.
"It could be that women want to play on a more competitive level than Rec-A." Johnson said.

The cross country competition will be full of challenges for both the men and women at the Big Eight conference championships tomorrow in Columbia, Mo.
Defending champion Iowa State and a full slate of tough competition present what could be the biggest test yet for the Kansas men's team.
Harriers will face top Big 8 runners
By Heather Fritz and Matt Tidwell Of the Kansan sports staff
The women's team will head into the meet without one of its best runners, freshman Melissa Satterfield, who broke her foot at the Southwest Missouri State Invitational on Oct. 12.
"Missouri's hilly course is one of the toughest I've seen in the Midwest," he said. "The competition also will be intense, as last year's champion, Yobes Ondike (of Iowa State), is back."
Men's head coach Bob Timmons said Wednesday that the stiff competition and rough terrain of the Rockies make things hard on the Jayhawks.
Iowa State worl the conference championship last year, and Timmons considers the Cyclones the team to beat this year. Kansas finish
hoped to improve on last year's seventh place conference finish.
This time around, the Jayhawk's hopes for a strong finish rest on the shoulders of senior Ben Welch, the most consistent Kansas performer this season.
The women have been hit with other injuries as well. Suzanne McKay is out with an ear infection that kept her from practicing for almost three weeks. Kim Sheridan strained a hamstring last week, but is ready to run in Columbia.
Welch led the team to a win over Missouri and Wichita State with a first place finish two weeks ago at Rim Rock Farm north of Lawrence. He also logged a fourth place finish at the Jayhawk Invitational and a 29th place finish at the OSU Jamboree.
"As a team, we're looking to break into the top four," Welch said. "Individually, I'd like to finish in the top ten."
Women's head coach Cliff Rovelo had predicted that with good runs, both Satterfield and Shauna Hatcher would finish in the top 20 individually. With those two, the team had
Rovello said that everyone who is running has been running well. But he also said that it wouldn't be enough to help the Jayhawks in the meet.
"I'm really pleased with what they're doing individually," he said. "But put it all together and what comes out is we're still going to be down at the bottom of the conference."
The loss of Satterfield and McKay leaves the team entering only six runners in the meet instead of seven. The loss of Mason and the rest of the team is still optimistic.
Rovelo said that Nebraska and Iowa State should be the top two teams, followed by Kansas State and Oklahoma State. After the first four, he said, the competition drops. Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas will bring up the rear of the conference.
Rovoleta has said that the emphasis at Kansas is placed on track rather than cross country, and that most of the cross country team members originally ran shorter distances. Three of the six runners competing tomorrow — Trisha Mangan, Rachel Albright and Angie Helmer — are half-milers, he said.
"I wish we had more distance runners, but that's our team," he said. "If you've got a good cross country team, half-milers aren't going to make the team."
One bright spot, though, is the team's potential. Rovelto said that the conference is comprised mostly of juniors, so that in two years there will be all new talent.
"Two years from now, they should be able to run with anybody," he said.
