Sports University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, December 2, 1986 7 Jayhawks rely less on Manning in 87-69 win By JANE ZACHMAN Sports writer The Kansas men's basketball team managed to win last night — even with forward Danny Manning sitting out 14 minutes of the game. The Jayhawks, now 2-0, beat the Southern Jaguars 87-69 in Allen Field House. Manning got into foul trouble early in the first half, and the Jayhawks had to play without their standout forward for the rest of the half. Guard Cedric Hunter said, "This was the first time we had to play without him. We have to learn to keep playing." "We've got to get used to playing without him," guard Mark Turgeon said after the game. "Mark Randall will have to come in when we're in foul trouble and Danny will have to shoot every time he's open." Eight minutes into the game, Manning had two fouls. Forward Chris Piper came in for Manning, and he and forward Mark Randall, who had come off of the bench earlier, finished out the half as Manning watched from the sidelines. The Jaguars took a 21-20 lead, their only lead of the game, at 9:15 into the first half on a six-toot baseline jump shot by forward Kevin Florent. Kansas fought back, however, to regain control of the game. Kansas allowed no Southern points in the final 3:02 of the first half and went into the locker room with a 45-35 lead at the half. "He can't make silly fouls and sit on the bench," said Kansas head coach Larry Brown. "We're out here now. We've got a lot of work to do." "I thought when we got Danny in foul trouble we would get an opportunity to do some things," said Southern head coach Ben Jobe. "They just brought in some big kids and they were in there scraping and fighting like crazy." Manning came back into the game 13 seconds into the second half, and the Jayhawks' defense scored from scoring until 17,16 of the half. Kansas held the lead through the second half, but after a lay-up off the fast break by Hunter, Kansas took its biggest lead of the game at 80-41 with 1:50 remaining.

Randall led the second-half scoring with 11 points, getting 15 in the game. Manning had 21 points for the home team and he had 15 points and 19 rebounds. "I think we were further ahead three weeks ago," Turegon said. "The coach came in (at half time) and said we had a lot of work to do." "I'm trying to figure out who can play what and what our best combinations could be." Brown said. "Some of our younger kids played well. I was pleased with (forward Robert) Coyne and Randall." Brown said he was just glad that the game was over. "St. John's beat them by 45 and we did by 18," he said, "so we've got a long way to go."

Knicks' Brown replaced The Associated Press Bob Hill NEW YORK - Former Kansas assistant coach Bob Hill was named head coach of the NBA's New York Knicks yesterday when Knicks' head coach Hubbie Brown was fired Brown lost his post amid controversy over whether Patrick Ewing or Bill Cartwright should be the center. The Knicks had compiled a 4-12 record so far this season. General Manager Scotty Stirling announced that Hill, Brown's top assistant, would take over for him and was in his fifth season with the club. It is the first head coaching job for Hill, 37, who spent eight years as a top assistant at Kansas. "I'm happy for him, and I'm confident that he'll do a fine job for them," Larry Brown. KU head coach, said last night. Hubie Brown drew criticism over the use of 7-footers Ewing and Cartwright as center and forward. Cartwright displayed at the power forward position. Stirling said the Knicks' lack of improvement this season after a two-year run of injuries was the key factor in firing Brown. The coaching change took effect with a morning practice at Upsala College in West Orange, N.J. before the Knicks left on a fourgame western road trip, starting with a game tonight in Phoenix. "This is a great opportunity for me," Hill said. "I'm very confident in my ability to coach and See HILL, p. 9, col. 3 Vaughn gets Big Eight Conference honor Sports writer Bv ANNE LUSCOMBE Despite a losing season, four Kansas football players were named to the 1986 United Press International All-Big Eight Conference teams yesterday.

"I had a good season but I didn't know if I had that good of a season. By our season this year, I didn't really think any of us would make it."

He played in 10 games and made 41 catches for 341 yards, two Two Kansas defensive players were named to the All-Big Eight second team.

Jayhawks will face luckless Minnesota Bv BRIAN SNYDER The Minnesota Golden Gophers have brought a streak they want to end into Lawrence for a game with the Kansas women's basketball team at 7:30 on tonight in Allen Field House. The Gophers have lost 13 straight road games since the 1984-85 season, and they are coming off one of their best seasons in Minnesota women's basketball history. Last year, Minnesota finished in ninth place in the Big Ten Conference with a 4-14 conference record. The team was 8-20 overall. The Golden Gophers are 1-2 this year. Last night they lost to Kansas State 79-68 in Manhattan. Earlier, they acted as host for a Dial Classic Tournament, and third-ranked Auburn destroyed Minnesota in the final game 101-46.

Minnesota boasts two more six-footers — junior forward Susie Piram, who is six feet tall, and 6-4 junior center Diane Kinney. "They (Minnesota) have good size in their front line," Kansas head coach Marian Washington said yesterday. "It will be a key defensive game for us. We'll have to establish A concern for the Jayhawks will once again be lack of height. Kansas has only two six footers — freshman center Lynn Page, who is 6-4, and junior forward Sandy Shaw, who is 6-0. Kinney has been an inside force grabbing eight rebounds a game. and maintain an up-bet season. In two games this season, Kansas won by 45-29. and maintain an up-beat tempo."

Don Green, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, yesterday announced the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation academic committee's proposal to change the current policy beginning next fall. The proposal is now being examined by the University Senate Executive Committee. By NICOLE SAUZEK Sports writer When an athlete is dismissed from a college for poor scholastic standing, the athlete is allowed to fall into category 92 for a semester — allowing the athlete the right to participate in a sport and still be enrolled in the University. Classes taken during that semester do not count toward a degree, Green said. The KUAC also voted to give each person on the KU football coaching staff a three-percent annual salary raise for next year. With the KUAC recommendation, if an athlete is dismissed from his specific area of study, he will also be dismissed completely from the University and will lose his eligibility to participate in sports. Category 9Z would still be intact at the University, but only open to students who are taking classes but not working toward a degree. In the future, if an athlete is dismissed from the University, he may apply to another unit. For example, an engineering student who fell below the required GPA for that school could apply for a school with a lower required GPA, Green explained. If an athlete is not accepted into another unit, he will be dismissed from the University completely for a semester and he will lose one year of eligibility. He then must re-apply to the University after the semester probation. "It was set up so that athletes could still make progress towards a degree," Green said. "Most of the cases were judged on an individual basis. There were situations where the athlete might not have been dropped." The GPA scale that athletes follow sets requirements at different levels of hours. If a player has 29 hours or less, he must not go below a 1.4 GPA. With 30 to 44 hours, he must not go below a 1.6 GPA. With 45 to 59 hours, he must not go below a 1.8 GPA. With more than 60 hours, he must have a 2.0 GPA or above. "There are only three athletes, I believe, in 92 right now," said Richard Lee, director of supportive educational services. "The only thing this will do is take away the option for an athlete to be eligible to participate and still be dismissed from the University." Also, the issue of whether athletes should be allowed to enroll early is still being discussed by the KUAC bboard and SenEx. According to Green, the KUAC academic committee is still gathering information on the issue. A recommendation should be made by the first of February. United Press International Giants defeat 49ers, clinch playoff berth SAN FRANCISCO — Phil Simms three for two touchdowns and Otis Anderson plunged over for another last night and sparked a 21-point third quarter, helping the New York Giants clinch a playoff berth with a 21-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The victory improved New York's record to 11-2 and gave the Giants at least a wild-card playoff berth. It set the stage for a showdown with Washington, also 11-2, for the NFC East lead next week. San Francisco fell to 7-5-1. The Giants, who trailed 17-0 at the half, scored touchdowns on their first three possessions of the third quarter to pull ahead 21-17. On New York's first possession of the second half, Simms hit Mark Bavaro with a 23-yard pass to the San Francisco 18. Halfback Joe Morris then gained one more yard before Simms found him all alone down the middle for a 17-yard TD pass on the next play. On the Giants' next possession, Simms found Stacey Robinson streaking down the sideline for a 34-yard touchdown pass. The drive was highlighted by an 11-yard Simms-to-Bavaro pass and a 17-yard run by Morris.
