It was one of the few times that the Jayhawks were able to contain Missouri. The Tigers won 31-6 to turn KU's Peach Bow hopes to dust. Jitters fail to stop 'Hawks By PATTI ARNOLD Associate Sports Editor Some people call them jitters, others, butterflies. But whatever they are called, KU's women's basketball team had a verified case of them Friday night in its season opener against Nebraska in Lincoln. But the Jayhawks found the cure as soon as the opening tip-off was over. They ripped the Cornshikers 88-56, behind the hot shooting of forwards Lynette Woodward and Tracy Claxton. The two forward scores scored 23 points apiece to last week's round in the Associated Press press poll. Claxton, scored the first points of her collegiate career. For Woodard, the points put her over 2,000 in her chase to become the top scorer in women's basketball. AND WOODARD'S hot band didn't cool off. The Wichita senior broke loose Saturday night against Creighton, KU's second victim of the season. Woodard, who scored 38 points, came within one bucket of outscoring the entire Creighton team in 2014. Senior center Shebra Legrant sat out the entire weekend because of an injured knee. KU Head Coach Marlan Washington said she did not know if Marlant would be able to play this week in the Queens Classic Tournament in Plainview, Texas. The game against Nebraska was a physical one, with 16 piling up 25 personal fouls. "It was our first game and we expected a lot of rough edges," Washington said. But she said she was pleased with the performance of her team. "Our young players had to work together and they did," she said. "The team worked very hard at trying to make it a good game." "IT WAS MORE physical," she said. "I have to get more physical as I'm getting in position." Claxton admitted that the jitters hit her Friday afternoon, but left as soon as she was got on the court. the first basket with eight seconds elapsed in the game. KU took a commanding 20-9 lead with 9:25 left in the half and had taken a 44-25 lead by halftime. Kansas spit its powder against Nebraska in each half. AGAINST CRIEIGHTH, KU took a 38-19 halftime lead with Woodard and Claxton leading the attack. Claxton chipped in 10 points, and sophomore center Megan Scott added nine. against Nebus in each match. Clarkton started the scoring for KU, putting in Claxton told the deep Kansas bench was a big part of the Jayhawks' success. Washington used 10 players in each game and all 10 scored in each contest. "We played good even with Shepherd not being the khatman saton. Everybody got a chance to play. We made it." Spikers end season with loss Bach would have been disgusted. Beethoven would have been appalled. The KU volleyball team naval nuanced the season like a fine piece of music. The Jayhawks had built it up to a crescendo by qualifying for the national championship and the regular season with a victory over Missouri. They went to Springfield, Mo., for the regional meet Thursday looking for the victory that would be the final notes of a dramatic conclusion to the season. But they let the dramatics die with losses in the first two matches of the double-elimination tournament. Coach Bob Lockwood was disappointed for his team, but pleased with the season as a whole. the top eight teams in the region and that says something." known snt that KU played well Thursday as well as well that had played earlier in the season. "We didn't play that bad, but when you play the best teams in the area, you can't make many mistakes," he said. "Everyone felt that they were really proud to be there," he said. "We would have liked to have stayed long, but we were glad to get the opportunity to go to the regional. We were one of One bit of good news for the volleyball team emerged over the weekend. April Beaver, a junior, was picked to the Regional Top Six team and Schroeder was named to the second team. The team comprised the top players from KU's regional pool, which included KU, St. Louis University, Missouri and Southwest Missouri State. "Both of those girls played really well all season," Lockwood said. "I was pleased to see them get picked." 'Hawks' peach bid turns up only pits BvGENEMYERS COLUMBIA, Mo…Bob Marcum must have felt shellahocked. The representative of the Peach Bowl must have felt used. The Kansas football team must have felt embarrassed. Sports Editor Those were the feelings Saturday afternoon after the Missouri Tigers ruined Kansas' hopes of marching to Atlanta to play in the Peach Bowl. The Tigers, in less than a quarter, had ruined a week of hard work by Marcum, athletic director, and other athletic officials. they had gone to Atlanta to attract the attention of criminals. By halftime they wanted to hide. Missouri, scoring three of the first four times it had the ball, ran away for a 31-6 victory. With the victory, the Tigers carried away KU's hopes for a second season and a third-place finish in the Rie Flight. The bowl hopes were considered to be a long shot early last week. Five teams, Kansas, Indiana, Louisiana State, Stanford and Miami, Fla., were under consideration last Monday. Louisiana State dropped out Wednesday. Indiana and Stanford were eliminated Saturday by THE PEACH BOWL selection committee, reluctantly, picked Miami early Saturday evening. The Hurricanes, despite a 7-3 record, were not a favorite of the selection committee and they have trouble drawing fans of home. The bowl needs its teams to bring fans to Atlanta. "The defeat of the other candidates made the Towns, Peach Bowl management director, said. The Jayhawks were out of the running early Saturday afternoon. Missouri held a 21-0 lead after the first quarter and scored another touchdown near the end of the first half. "I tried to find something to salvage out of the game," Fambrigh said. "We came back in the second half and it would have been really bad if we hadn't." "I told the team after the game I wanted them to think of the positive things that happened this year. We were picked to do nothing this year and finished in the top division." THE JAYHAWKS finished 4-2 and fourth in the Big Eight. OKlahoma state could tie for first place. KU's record is the best since 1976, when the team won 85-42, then the team had won 60-35, three times. The possibility of a bowl bid did and didn't affect the Jayhawks. "Once the game started," David Verser said, "I didn't even think about it. In fact, I didn't think about it again until I saw the guy with the gun on the back jacket outside the room room after the game." KU's offense, which Marcum had to sold to Peach Bowl officials as high-powered and quick-hitting, had only 32 yards and two first downs at the start. The next quarter, fourth quarter would KU cross the 90-yard line. THE EARLY MISSOURI rot forced several people to use their best diplomacy. Marcum, who had met with the bowl's representative Friday morning and afternoon in Lawrence and Friday night in Columbia, had to exfoliate KIL'S defeat. Dick Boger, the bowl rep who received a limousine escort Friday night courtesy of KU, had to find a way to be positive during several halftime interviews. The score was 28-0. Head Coach Don Fambrough couldn't say much about the defeat. Neither could the players. priyatnama Frank Seurer, KU's quarterback, disagreed. Frank Seurer, KU's quarterback, disagreed. "I think we were too over-excited," he said. "We were a little tense in the locker room and needed to set out and do it." needed to go out and meet. "The line was screaming and everyone was thinking all the time, including myself. What we needed was to be relaxed. We weren't." THE KU OFFENSE was almost non-existent until the fourth quarter. With Kerwin Bell playing handcapped, he was an easy tackle for Missouri. With KU's running game gone, Missouri triple covered All-Big Eight flanker David Verser. With Verser teamed, the other receiver, Lester Mickens, was open often. But Mickens had trouble handling. Seurer had trouble hitting him. Part of the Seurer was an erratic arm, the rest was no time. The offensive line, which couldn't open holes for the running backs, also couldn't keep the pass rush off Seurer's back. The statistics showed everything. Bell, who needed 93 yards to set a school record, had 25 in eight carries, all in the first half. He finished with 1,114 yards. Verser had three passes thrown to him, for no receptions. He touched the ball twice, went 34-for-18 for 3 yards and one interception. "WE CAN'T AFFORD to lose Bell," Fambridge said. "I shouldn't have played Bell at all. This little guy just kept playing and wanting to go out there.
