Kansas swim coach Gary Kemp gave his team members some time off over the Thanksgiving break, but it wasn't exactly for good behavior.
Despite consistently strong swimming, the KU men's and women's teams dropped decisions to national游泳 powers Southern Illinois and Alabama prior to the break. And, despite a poor chance to make a change in preparation for this weekend's events.
"We're not quite putting as much work in as we have in the past," Kemp said. "I lost them (the swimmers) four days over Thanksgiving because I let them go home with a certain amount of yardage they had to do every day. Provided they did what they were supposed to do, the layoff will serve in our favor."
Kempf said he hoped his teams would be swimming strong this weekend, when the women travel to Lincoln, Neb., for a duel with Nebraska, and the men host Drury, last year's NAIA national swimming champions, and Wyoming in a meet at Robinson Natatorium on Saturday in Johnson Natatorium.
The meets represent the last competition until Jan. 13 for the women, and until Jan. 14 for the men. The next meeting of the meets would also represent a chance
to make the "progressive step" that he has been waiting for.
"A good team has that ability to draw within that little extra," he said. "We did it draw on that as well as we should have. I think we were in lot, and we saw what it was like competing with the lop of the country."
"On the men's side, we had our best duel in five years, but we realized that we're not quite to Southern Illinois' level yet. On the women's side, we lost every close battle, and our team cannot lose every close race."
Kempf said he thought his teams learned from the losses to SIU and Alabama. He said that although the women's team was among the top 20 in the country, the swimmers knew that there were some better teams, but they had not been ready. Kansas reach the kind of competition level Kempf had hoped for.
He also said that the men on the team realized that they could swim better than they had, and that they could swim faster. The men themselves then had in the past.
"What I want to see coming into this weekend is that 'progressive step' taken," Kremp said, "that we make that next step toward becoming a better swimming team. I am going to meet many times from everybody this weekend."
The women have won the Nebraska meet in each of the past four years. Also competing in this year's game are Colorado State and Iowa State.
Kansas captures third straight

The Kansas Jayhawks, playing their poorest game of the young season, escaped with a 63-51 victory over Mississippi Valley State last night before a crowd of 8,676 in Allen Field House.
It didn't look that way at the start, though, as the Jayhawks, behind Carl Henry, Kerry Boagni and Jeff Dishman, rolled to an 18-6 lead after nine minutes. Henry led the surge with nine points. Boagni had five and Dishman had four. Henry break away from the Delta Devils, though, and their offense started to stall. Still, the Jayhawks led 22-21 at halftime.
"I didn't think we would be as sharp as Monday and we weren't," head coach Ted Owens said. "Our offense was the main thing that it used down."
"We came out and had a good start." Henry said. "Then we got caught up into a run-and-gun game and that really changed the tempo."
Knight also had a game-high 13 rebounds. He was followed by Dishman with eight and Boagni with seven. The trio had 28 of KU's 35 rebounds.
"IN THE first half, we took too many outside shots," Boogni said. "The shots
Tad Boyle, who did not score for the second straight game, had a game-high 15 points.
Mississippi Valley had three players in double figures, leo by Pritchett with 13. Robert Phillips had 11 and Ellis added 10.
"They were very active on offense and that gave us a little trouble." Dishman said. "They hadn't played a game we really didn't know what to expect.
"T THNK when we got the lead early, we were a little too hungry to blow them out. We started to rush our shots and we weren't moving enough."
"We have to put this game behind us and go out and get 'em," Boogni said. "We do have to remember the things we were wrong, though, so we can work well."
Kansas then spread its offense and Dishman and Kelly Knight scored baskets to put the Jayhawks up by 10. But out, the scoring on a (fantastic dunk)
"We know that we're a tough team to beat once we get the lead."
in the second half, Kansas managed to hold off Mississippi Valley until 7-45 was left in the game. Trailing 51-38, Oklahoma had a lead at eight points to cut Kansas' lead to 53-47.
DISHMAN HAD the hot hand for the Jayhawks in the second half, hitting six of 10 shots from the field and grabbing six rebounds. He and Henry led the Jayhawks in scoring with 17 points each. Boagni, who took just three shots in the second half, had 15. Knight had 12.
The Jayhawks' 3-0 start is their best since the 1977-78 season. The 77-78 title is a freshman standout, got off to a 5-0 start before losing to Kentucky.
JAYHAWK NOTES--Some of the Jayhawks continued their torrid shoot- against Mississippi Valley Jeff Dishman, Kerry Boagni and Carl Pennykirk. Henry raised his season percentage to 66.6 on 30 of 45 shooting.
KU will also face the Tigers, on Dec. 18.
Even though the Jayhawks' offense struggled, the defense played well, forcing the Delta Devils to shoot just 34.8 percent from the field in the first half. The Eagles won Mississippi Valley State with six first-half points. Anthony Sanders had four.
The Jayhawks won't have much time to rest. They will be back in action tomorrow afternoon against the St. Louis Billikens, who lost earlier this year and ranked Tigers of Memphis State. Game time tomorrow will be 2 p.m.
Henry and Bogan both had 11 points at the half, with Dishman and Knight

The Jayhawks will play their first road game of the season on Monday when they travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to play the Michigan Wolverines. The game will be telecast by BWI-TV in Topeka. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. It will mark the first of three road games that BWI will carry. The others will be Kentucky, Dec. 29, and Oral Roberts, Jan. 6.

"We didn't want to let them run," Lewis said. "We like the control game. We'll take the fast break if it's there, they covered the break extremely well."
"Tom Tillman started the game for us and I doubt if he would have even dressed out if we would have had those other players." Lewis said. "We've only practiced two days with this group of guys."

"I expected us to be just like we were at the first of the game — nervous," Lewis said. "The guys were scared to death, but we came out of it. I was shocked because I thought it would take a while longer."

Fortunately for the Jayhawks, the Lady Statesmen were worse. They shot a lot of them.
"We were really hurt when we lost those nine players," Lewis said. "Five of them would have seen a lot of playing and two of them would have started."
Raymond Doss, a 6-6 junior forward, and Brian Stewart, a 6-1 sophomore guard, would start play. Lewis could start play and have a big role in the Delta Devils' success.
Lewis said that the eligibility roster he requested last summer was not provided until Wednesday — and nine months ago. The rosters were ruled academically ineligible.
The KU women's basketball team shot a miserable 41 percent, committed 26 fouls and turned the ball over 34 times against the Delta State Lady Statesmen last night.
Lewis said he wanted to slow down.
In the end, however, none of this mattered. What did matter was the clutch free throw shooting of freshmen center Ann Schell, who sank two free throws to put the game into overtime. She also sank two more with 47 seconds left in the overtime period to clinch KU's first victory of the season, a brutal 68-65 thriller at Allen Field House.
"I think they might have understated us just a little bit," he said. "When we got within six, 53-47, I thought we were really coming back. But then I always think we're going to win."
Schell's heroes came at the end of a wild second half that saw KU go from a 39-28 halftime lead to a five-point lead, 56-51, with 34 to play. Most of that firepower came from junior first baseman Luke KU's KU 31 points in the second half. Sunder, the Jayhawks' leading scorer so far this year, led KU with 18 points.

However, KU was without Snider in the final two minutes. With 1:59 left, She was kneed in the head while chasing a loose ball. She suffered a cut on her knee. Snider was led off the court and received three stitches in the training room.

By that time, Delta State had already started to make a final run at the Jayhawks. With KU ahead 58-55 with 1:54 left to play, Lady Statesmen guard Deborah Temple, who led all scores with 24 points, hit a driving layup and drew a foul. Temple missed the foul shot, but Delta State grabbed the

"I don't put pressure on myself," she said, "I can't tell myself that if I don't make them.
"I'm very proud of the way they played tonight," Washington said. "We've got a lot of freshman playing, and they're making a lot of mistakes, but they're starting to play a lot better."
"I was a little nervous." Schell said. "I was just trying to to tell myself that I was going to make them. I tried to be confident and relaxed. They're free of furtive
After sending KU into overtime, Schell won the game for KU. With 47 seconds left and Delta State ahead 65-64, Schell was fouled by Temple. Schell went to the line and calmly swished both free throws. KU cinched
the baseline in place of Snider, drew a foul goof for the rebound.
Jayhawks Angie Taylor, with ball, and Tina Stauffer broke down the court between Delta State's Pam Wyatt, near, and Patricia Wylie in Kansas' home opener last night at Allen Field House. The Jayhawks, 1-4, won the game in overtime, 68-65.
Then things really got wild. After Temple hit a basket to put Delta State ahead 60-58, KU guard Mary Myers dribbed the ball off her foot, sending it caroming out of bounds. With only two seconds left on the shot clock and 13 seconds left in the game, Myers committed her third foul, sending Patricia Wyle to the line. Wylie missed, and Schell, who was covering
rebound, and KU fouled again. Forward Carla Holder made the shot, lying down.
