SPORTS UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Friday, November 20, 1992 7 'Hawks, Tigers clash in border rivalry By David Bartkoski Kansan sportswriter If the 101st meeting between Kansas and Missouri tomorrow is anything like the teams' 100th meeting last year, the fans at Faurot Field in Columbia should be getting their money's worth. Last year, Kansas tailback Tony Sands established NCAA single-game records for yards rushing, 396, and touchdowns, 85, in the Jayhawks' 53-29 victory. Missouri quarterback John Handy, then an unheralded freshman, replaced injured quarterback Phil Johnson and threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns. But the circumstances for this year's game have changed. Sands has graduated, and the Tigers' quarterback. MisSION was a losing record, but the Jayhawks' led for their first bowl bid since 1981. No. 22 Kansas, 7-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big Eight Conference, has lost two consecutive games, falling 49-7 to Nebraska two weeks ago and 25-18 to Colorado last week. Missouri, 2-8 overall and 1-4 in the Big Eight, is coming off its only conference victory, a 27-14 defeat of Kansas State last week. Kansas coach Glen Mason said Kansas could not underestimate the Tigers because of their 2-8 record. "I think that records can be very musleading," he said. "I would expect that we're going to have to play a top game to beat them in Columbia." The Missouri quarterback became the top sophomore passer in Big Eight history last week. His 2,179 passing yards this season eclipses Mike Gundy's former record of 2,106. Bailey, Missouri's all-time career reception leader, has caught 63 passes for 1,031 yards this season. Although he has played with a cast on both hand for the past six weeks, he has not yet recorded any yards receiving in the past six games. Handy is a primary reason why the Tigers are ranked eighth nationally in passing offense. Two other reasons for this difference are Bailey and junior flanker Kember Holly. When Bailey is not catching the ball, Holly usually is. The junior flanker ranks second on the team with 54 receptions and 604 yards receiving. He caught 15 passes against Oklahoma State, setting the Missouri record for single-game receptions. pressure on Handy would be a priority for the Jayhawks in stopping the Missouri passing attack. Kansas senior defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield said that putting “It's our number one goal this week,” he said. “From what I've seen on film, they've got some real good receivers out there.” Missouri's defense, which ranks 96th nationally in rushing defense, must contend with a Kansas offense that ranks 17th nationally in rushing. Kansas senior tailback Maurice Douglas has rushed for 100 yards three times this season, most recently grinding out 102 yards against Colorado. Douglas has rushed for a team-high 11 touchdowns. His total of 70 points is second on the team to junior kicker Dian Eichlöff to total of 81 points. Eichloff will be aiming to break the school's all-time career scoring record tomorrow. He is tied with for 145 points by American Bruce Kallmeier at 233 points. Missouri leads the 101-year old series 47-44.9 NOTES: ■ Kansas will be without the services of four of its players. Senior fullback Monte Cozzens, junior defensive tackle Chris Maumalanga and junior defensive end Ty Moeeder all have knee injuries. Junior linebacker Larry Thiel is out with a broken leg.

"I talked about adversity making us go stronger, and we've had some adversity here recently," Williams said. "The kids understand that everybody's got to do a little bit more." All nine of the Jayhawks that suited up last night scored, led by senior center Eric Pauley and junior forward Richard Scott, who each scored 22 points. Sophomore forward Ben Davis announced Tuesday that he was quitting the team to transfer to another school, and junior forward Patrick Richey, who Williams said would have started had he been healthy, did not play because of an ankle injury. Sophomore guards Sean Pearson and Calvin Rayford, who are eligible to play this season after being academically ineligible last season, could not play in last night's game after playing in a fraternity-sponsored basketball tournament last March, which violated NCAA rules. Aside from problems getting offensive rebounds, Williams said he was pleased with the team. "I told them that I wanted it to be like a glorified practice and to try and concentrate on every possession," he said. "With only 11 guys there's going to be a lot of minutes for everybody," Williams said, looking ahead to the team's next game. Seniors Rex Walters and Adoms journal senior backcourt, as was expected, with senior Eric Pauley at center. Jeremy at forward. Junior Steve Woodberry started at the sideline, not, but every player received considerable playing time. But Hancock said the expectations did not affect him. "I'm not worried about expectations," he said. "I hear about it and I read about it, but I really don't pay any attention to it. After that first dunk, I was very happy because the crowd wanted to do. I had never played in front of a big crowd like that. After the second one I got more relaxed." Darrin Hancock, junior forward, scored 15 points for the Jayhawks that included several slam dunks. He also pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. Hancock's first dunk came early in the game, off a missed shot by jordan. The second came when Scott grabbed a rebound and threw a full-court outlet pass to Hancock who quickly jammed it, stumping Marathon. Williams said earlier this week that he was worried about the expectations put on Hancock, who was named last year's National Junior College Player of the Year coming from Garden City Community College. "I feel more confident," Hancock said. "I like getting the crowd into it. We liked how we played, but we need to get that right." Sophomore center Greg Ostertag scored 11 points last night but struggled when running up and down the court. Ostertag said that tendinitis in his ankle had flared up earlier this week. But Hancock said the expectations did not affect him. "If they're No. 2, I'd really hate to see Michigan," said Marathon coach Gary Vick. "KU is a potential national champion and at least a Final Four team." "It just hurts to run on it," he said. "But my stamina was better than last year at this time, and it should improve more as the season goes on." T. J. Whatley, a freshman walk-on guard, was the only Jayhawk who hadn't scored until the final minutes of the game, when he made his second shot attempt, igniting the crowd. Greg Gurley, who had 11 points for the Jayhawks including a three-pointer, said that this year's team, like last year's, would be unselfish. "We really don't care who gets the credit or who gets the points as long as we win the game," Gurley said. The Jayawhacks held the Marathon team to a 25-percent field goal percentage while shooting 68 percent from the door as well as from behind the three-point line. The second-half goal came on today against Australia-Gold Coast in Allen Field House. Christoph Fuhmann,contributing sportswriter, provided information for this story. Women's basketball team prepares for first game By David Bartkoski Kansan sportswriter The Kansas women's basketball team will play an exhibition game against the Czechoslovakia National Team at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Field House. The game will be the first of the season for the dayhawks, who will have had 20 days of practice and two scrimmages to prepare for the touring Czechoslovakian team, called Cassovia Kosice. Kansas coach Marian Washington said the game would give her a chance to see him. "It's a chance for us to work as a team," she said. "It gives our staff a chance to know what we need to work on." Washington said she had seen Cassovia Kosice play twice. "They play like a typical international ball club," she said. "They will shoot the 3-pointer at the drop of a hat." Cassovia Kosice has compiled a 1-3 record so far on its US Tour. The Czechoslovakian team has defeated UMKC the New York, Nebraska and Southwest Missouri State. Although Cassovia Kosis was beaten 80-54 by Nebraska, the team has played its other three opponents to close finishes. Cassius Kosice led the Southwest Missouri State Lady Bears at halftime before falling behind by nine points. The Czechoslovakian team beat UMKC 75-73 in double overtime and lost by scores of 79-73 to Washburn and 75-66 to Southwest Missouri State. Washington said that tomorrow's exhibition could be a high-scoring game if the Czechoslovakian team was hitting a high percentage of its shots. "It's going to be real important that we play good defense," she said. Probable Kansas starters for tomorrow's contest are junior guard Michelle Leathers, senior guard sophomore forwards Angela Aycock to the Alma Slater and junior center Lisa Tate. Freshman guard redshirted Diaman Williams, freshman guard from Columbus, Ga., will be redshirts this season because of an injury. She will have reconstructive surgery to repair the anterior or cruciate ligament in her left knee during winter break. The Jayhawks will add Elizabeth Luna, a 5-foot-7 guard, to their roster. The Horton sophomore walked on the team. Kansan sportswriter By David Dorsey Volleyball team to end season in Oklahoma The Kansas volleyball team, now 19-14 overall, and 3-8 in the Big Eight Conference, wraps up its regular season tomorrow night at Oklahoma. The Jayhawks still have a chance to compete in the postseason if they are selected to play in the National Invitational Volleyball Championships. The tournament is Dec. 4-6 in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks lost to the Sooners 3-0 during their first meeting this season. But right now, Kansas coach Frankie Albitz's thoughts are on tomorrow night's match. "I think if we serve real tough and run some specific sets against them, we'll be alright," she said. "We made a lot of errors the first time against them, but we're not doing that anymore. I hope we can win, and that would really help us for our bid for the NIVC." The Kansas team had been plagued with off-the-court troubles this season, of which Albizt said had hindered the team's play. Earlier this season, the new floor at Allen Field House was being installed and repaired, and the Jayhawks had to move their home court to Robinson Center for two tournaments and to Lawrence High School for two matches. The team's bus broke down on two road trips as well, only adding to the frustration of a losing season in the Bie Eight. "The problems hurt us a little." Albiz said. "Trouble with the court and trouble with the bus probably didn't cause us to lose, but it did take away from our concentration. It was probably the toughest year in that way that I've had as a coach." Irene Lanier / KANSAN Bella said the team played well in the beginning of the season but then got into a slump. But junior middle blocker Barb Bella said that the troubles would make this season a memorable one. "I'll never forget this season," she said. "At the time when everything happened, it got really frustrating. But now we laugh at it, and it will be something I'll look back on and never forget." "We didn't play to well when conference play started," she said. "We've improved a lot since Tracie Walt, Lincoln, Neb., freshman, practices in Robinson Gymnastium for the Oklahoma match. The 'Hawks face the Sooners tomorrow at Norman. then, and it's important that we beat Oklahoma, especially for our postseason chances. Plus, we want to go out winning." The Jayhawks will know if they have been selected for the tournament by the middle of next week. The team plans to practice on Monday and Tuesday and will continue practicing through the next week if it is selected.
