The crowds at Allen Field House keep growing as the Kansas volleyball team keeps winning.
The Jayhawks raised their record to 14-2 last night when they beat Kansas State in four games for the season, a season and in the team's history.
The 13-15, 16-14, 15-6, 15-6 victory also raised the Jayhawks' record to 2.1 in the Big Eight Conference.

Kansas State's record fell to 6-7 overall and 0-2 in the Big Eight.
Outside hitter Judy Desch said after the match that the Jayhawks were nervous at first because they considered their Big Eight matches important and wanted to do well.
"We were really nervous so we had a slow start," said middle hitter Julie Ester.
The Jayhawks couldn't overcome the Wildcats early in the evening and dropped the first game to K-State 15-13
"Coaching hurt us on the first game," said KU head coach Frankie Albitz. "I was reluctant to substitute as much as I should have.
"K-State is a much tougher team than people realize."
Albitz said that the Wildeats' habit of yelling out their plays on the court threw the Jayhaws. They begin to get excited and yell, and the Jayhawks get excited and start to make mistakes.
Kansas still had to overcome the jitters at the start of the second game. The teams rallied back and forth, winning two points at a time until they were tied at 14-14. Albiz eventually got the team back on track to beat the Wildcats 16-14.
"I was worried at first," said mid- middle blocker Tammy Hill, "but we pulled it back together after Frankie gave us a pep talk late in the second game."
Outside hitter Kristi Conway said,
"We always get really excused for home games, it took a while to calm down tonight."
Albizt said that the team got its confidence back and started thinking as they went into the third game.
The Jayhawks came out fighting to start the third game, at one time running off eight straight points.
Kansas ended the match beating K
State 15 in 4 both the third and fourth
games sending the Wildcats home.
"Both teams have improved a lot since the last time we played," Hill said. "We've been working a lot on passing, blocking and serving and I think it paid off.
"KState was missing a lot of serves towards the end."
Outside hitters Desch and Catalina Suarez led Kansas offensively. Desch had 14 and Suarez had 12 of 36-
Jayhawks' 59 kills.
K-State managed only 33 kills, but had a cleaner record with only 24 errors to the Javhaws' 40.
Suarez also led Kansas with 23 defensive digs. Outside hitter Shannon Ridway chalked up 16 digs and Hill had 14.
aces.
Hill tapped the statistics in serving, sending the Wildcats 5 of Kansas' 12 service aces. K-State served only 5
The Jayhawks begin preparing immediately for another match this weekend. After practice they will leave for Springfield, Mo., to play in the southwest Missouri State Tournament tomorrow and Saturday. The Jayhawks will face K-State once again at the tournament, along with Louisville and Southwest Missouri State.

'Hawks travel to tourney

The Kansas tennis team journey to Oklahoma City today, the site of this year's Big Eight Conference tournament, to compete tomorrow through Sunday in the Oklahoma Fall Open.
The open marks the beginning of the men's fall season and the second tournament for the women. Eight men and eight women will make the trip, and head coach Scott Perelman hopes some will come back winners.
Pereman said yesterday that Mike Wolf, Kansas' No. 1 player for the fourth consecutive year, should have an excellent chance to win the singles and doubles divisions. His doubles partner is Larry Pascal, who in 1985

won the Big Eight doubles championship at the No. 2 position with current assistant coach Charlie Stears.
"This tournament offers the combination of collegiate players and top players from the Missouri Valley circuit." Pereiman said. "It will allow us to see competition we wouldn't normally see. I'm hoping we'll do well on both sides."
The team that has the Jayhawks most concerned is Oklahoma State, which has won the Big Eight Championships on both the men's and women's side for at least the past four years. However, the other teams should not be very tough competitively, said women's team member Tracy Treps.
"I think the team is ready to play," she said. "The courts are familiar to us, since we have all been to the Big Eight championships before. It's a really good facility to play at. They have 24 courts. The only problem would be if it rained."
Junior Darin Herman, who will be paired with sophomore Jim Secrest in the doubles division, said he thought the team would do well even though this was the season's first tournament for the men.
"We've been practicing hard and have been playing challenge matches among ourselves," Herman said. "We are physically ready to play and we are eager, too."
The other doubles pairings for the men's team are junior Sven Groeneveld and senior Kevin Brady, and Chris Walker and Craig Wildey.
This will be the first tournament as a Jawhawk for Groeneveld, who transferred from Southwest Baptist, and the first collegiate tournament for freshmen Walker and Wildey.
The women competed in the Midwestern Collegiate last weekend. Perelman said after the tournament that he was not pleased with the performance of the doubles players. After watching practice this week, Perelman changed the pairings.

Bredesen finds life off the field a modest affair

The grandiose egos of the sports world bombard the sports fan daily from television and newspapers.
These egos keep worn-out athletes competing long after their competitive days are over. Some, like running back Jim Brown, try to come back after their careers have ended. Some, like Oklahoma linebacker Brian Bosworth, carry their egos into the newspapers. Bosworth makes public comments that enrage opposing teams and that are as colorful as his Road Warrior multi-colored haircut.
"Off the field, society dictates how
high adrenaline of football with the rules of today's society.
And then there is rock Breedesen. It's not that Breedesen couldn't brag about his accomplishments on the football field. He was an all-star Mississippi State High School his senior year. He was switched to backbeler before the first game of his freshman year at KU. Now a junior, Breedesen's 121 tackles last year were second only to Willie Pless' 191.
His two-year total of 239 tackles ranks him 17th on the KU all-time tackle list. At his current pace, he would finish his career at Kansas second on the all-time time behind Pleas, who had 633.

And then there is Rick Bredesen.
Breedson had he preferred to do his job in the shadows, and he questioned why anyone would want to know anything about him. But he agreed to

'It's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde kind of situation. On the field, it's all in the way you carry yourself. You have to be aggressive and violent. I like the violence of football. I'm a violent person.'
"It's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydy kind of situation," he said. "On the field, it's all in the way you carry yourself. You have to be aggressive and violent. I like the violence of football. I am a violent person."
Bredesen spoke about his per-sum-
ation on and off the football field.
"He's a high-intensity and non-sense kind of player," Dunkelberger said. "He's very easy to coach. It would be nice if all of them could be that way."
The player KU fans see at Memorial Stadium on Saturdays is the same one who shows up for practice, said Dave Dunkelberger, KU defensive coordinator.
Bredesen said that if given a choice, he would prefer to live in a society that blended the violence and
"When he comes home, he likes to sleep late and watch old war movies," she said. "He never gives us any trouble and he gets along with everyone. He's not much for partying, but he does enjoy listening to music."
you can act," Bredesen said.
"Problems arise if you don't change your attitude."
Helen Bredesen, Rick's mother, gave more insight into the off-the-field Bredesen.
Bredesen has considered the possibility of a career in professional football. He said that all football players worked for the chance to be professionals and that they would be foolish not to consider it.
Bredesen said it would be hard to leave football when he graduated;
but he thought he would be able to handle the transition to another career.
As reserved as Bredesen is when dealing with the press, he's perhaps even more reserved in private.
Bredesen, an environmental studies major, said his career options included being a fish and game warden and a forest ranger. Though he would miss the violence of football, he said, he would make a clean break for the more tranquil life of a fish and game warden.
"I'm a loner," he said. "I like to spend time with my girlfriend. Fishing and just being outdoors are also things I like to do."
While coaching might seem a likely job for him, Bredesen said he couldn't be close to the sport without wanting to play.
He said he was lucky to become involved in sports in the first place.
Bredesen said his parents tried to keep him out of sports as long as they could because of the risk of injury. His mother, however, disagreed.
"He enjoys attending Kansas and playing football there."
"No, we didn't keep him from playing sports," she said. "He wanted to start playing hockey when he was seven. We let him play when he was eight. He's played baseball, football, soccer and he's wrestled."
