When Kansas heads to California to play Long Beach State tomorrow, four Jayhawk players will be heading home.
"It's one of the trips I've been looking forward to, the junior guard Rex Walters, from San Jose, Calif., to work with our family to see me play as a Jawahir."
Kansas, 3-1 and ranked 10th nationally, will face Long Beach State. 2-2, in the 'Hawks' first road trip of the year.
Walters, junior guard Adonis Jordan, senior forward Alonzo Jamison and junior center Eric Pauley, all call California home.
But the Jayhawks will be there for more than just a homecoming.
Williams said the lineup had not yet been set.
"It's going to be a real nice homecoming," Jamison said. "I'll get to see my mom and my nephews and see how they're all doing."
"It's not really my decision," he said. "It's whenever the five rascales show me they deserve to start all the time.
"We're going to start the four California guys because we're going out there," Coach Roy Bell said, "but it doesn't try and do it too fast or just too bad."
Probable Starters
Kansas has used a different starting lineup for each of its three games this season.
that way, I'll start zeroning in on it. Three of them have because I've been very pleased with Adonis, Rex and Alonzo."
He said the assist-turnover ratio was an indicator of that need.
Williamssaid the Jayhawks still had room for improvement.

"We've got to really do a much better job of cutting down on those turn-
tails."
Long Beach State is off on a 76-
aerial Northbridge on Wednesday night.
The Forty-inners are led by 6-foot-5 junior guard Lucious Harris, who was a teammate of Jordan at Cleveland High School in Reseda, Calif.
"I know how good Lucius is because we tried like the dickens to recruit him," Williams said. "He is a fine, fine player."
Harris is an All-American candidate and is averaging just under 17 points a game.

Williams said he thought the proximity of Long Beach State was the difference for Harris in choosing the Forty-niners.
"I think the bottom line is his decision came down to either going away from home — going to Kansas — or coming to Long Beach," Williams said.
Harris is not the only threat to Kansas. Junior forward Byron Russell, 6-7, is averaging 12 points a game.

Williams said the Forty-niners would be the toughest Kansas foe so far this season.
"We're going to face what I think is a very athletic team," Williams said. "We're at the point now it doesn't do any good to say we're not ready. We still have to play."
Long Beach State opened the season with a 97-73 victory against Cal State Los Angeles.
The Forty-niners then dropped two in a row, losing to North Carolina Charlotte 72-49 and to ranked UCLA 68-57.
- Tomorrow's game will be the second time the two teams have ever played. Kansas won the first meeting 69-32 in Lawrence on Dec. 1, 1970.

Sophomore forward Patrick Richey, who missed Kansas' first two games because of back spasms, will see action tomorrow. He came off the bench and scored five points against Central Missouri State.

Tunstall says he is ready to play again
Semester grades to determine his return

Kansas senior guard Sean Tunstall is ready to be back.
Most Kansas basketball fans were shocked in mid-October when Tunstall was suspended from the team by Coach Roy Williams.
"It's been tough, but it's almost over." Tunstall said. "I'm paying the consequences of my earlier mistakes."
Williams announced Oct. 15 that Tusnall had been suspended for at least the fall semester for a series of team and departmental policy vio-
Tunstall has not played or practiced with the team since. However, he has not sat by idly.
"I'm dying for him to be back out
“It's not just going to be a slap on the wrist.”
He said that when he got Tunstall'sgrade reportsback,hewould make a decision.
"I've been playing every day at Robinson," he said. "I'm also lifting and working out."
"I didn't paint the picture, he did," Williams said of the suspension. "If someone's going to do it, you have to put in your suspension, it's going to be severe."
Williams said he had given Tunstall a series of things to do before he could be reinstalled.
there," senior forward and Tun-stall's high school teammate Macolm Nash said. "I can see it on him, that he wants to be out there."
"It's a shock when you lose a teammate, especially someone you've played with for the last eight years."
Williams said it would be difficult for Tunstall to return because he had missed part of the season.
"But I want, more than anybody, for him to be back as part of our team," he said.
Tunstall said he had accepted the conditions of his punishment.
"There's no bad blood between us," Tunstall said. "Coach Williams and I are still friends and all."
Tunstall played in all 13 of Kansas' games last season and averaged 5.7 points a game as the sixth man off the bench.
He scored 15 points in a victory against Indiana in last season's NCAA Tournament and was the key player in the 1994-1992 season.
"I would have definitely been in contention for a starting spot," Tunstall said. "But who knows what could have happened?"
Williams said that if Tunstall returned, senior walk-on guard Lane Czaplinski would not be removed from the team. Williams asked Czaplinski, who played junior varsity for three years, to join the team this year.
Confident 'Hawks face Northern Iowa
Kansas begins Dial Classic play tonight
By David Mitchell Kansan Sportswriter
Kansas, 3-0, will take on Northern Iowa, 0-2, in the first round tonight.
After crashing the Texas-Arlington Classic last week, the Lady Jayhawks will play host for the Dial Classic this weekend.
"They're a fine defensive team," Coach Marian Washington said. "And they have some fine three-point shooters."
"I don't have any problems with us. I take a lot of three-pointers as long as they're good shots," Washington said. "We did a good job of knocking them down."
The Jayawhaks set a team record for three-point shooting in their victory against Wichita State on Tuesday. Of the 19 attempts from behind the line.
Junior guards Stacy Truitt and Shannon Kite both hit four of seven trevs coming off the bench.
Washington said the shot was an effective weapon in breaking a zone, a defense the coach said Kansas would see a lot of this season.
"Shannon is one of the best three point shooters in the league," Washington said. "If they'll let her sit out there, that's fine with us."
Kite had 12 points in the game against the Shockers. Truitt led the team with 14 points and was the third different scoring scoreer for the team
"It's an advantage a team to have balanced scoring." Washington said. "When you only have one score, it easy for an onponent to defense you.
"It can be somebody different on any given night," she said. "We have so much depth on the bench we can get five to 10 points from each person."
"We have a lot of people who can pu the ball in the hole."
Senior forward Tanya Bonham said the team's diversified scoring was a reflection of the squad's depth.
In the Wichita State game, the Kansas bench outscored the Jayhawk
starters 41-31.
"When you have a Stacy Truitt or a Tanya Bonham come off the bench, you're going to get some good help," she said.
Bonham, who earned all-tournament honors in the Texas-Arlington Classic, is typical of Kansas' depth, used both as a starter and reserve.
"You give all you've got, regardless of whether it's at the beginning of the story."
Bonham said the team was excited about the Dial Classic, a tournament that is one of its toughest matches.
"This will be the first time a senior class has won the Dial Class all four years," she said. "It will be nice to say you're a good fit for UWe. We've pretty much dominated it."
Though Northern Iowa is 0-2, the Jayhawks will have to stop Panther guard Ann Miller. Miller is one of four players on the double figures, at 16 points a game.
In other first-round action, Kentucky will face SL. John sats 6 p.m., prediction, and then a 7 p.m. game.
The two winning teams will meet in the championship game, which will follow the consolation game tomorrow night.
Junior center Liza Tate returned to practice yesterday and shot free throws. Tate, who has been sidelined with a stress fracture in her left leg, is expected to begin practicing with the team Dec. 18.
Though none of the teams is nationally ranked, St. John's received 14 votes and Kentucky received 13 votes. Kentucky won all three ballots, Kansas received 37 votes.
"We'll have three fine clubs coming in," Washington said. "It's the toughest test we've had to date."
"We're going to give Liz two more weeks," Washington said. "The doctor has said I have been out for eight weeks and we are in a situation where she can test it."

UNLV coach sues university
UNLV legal counsel Brad Booke, who ordered the secret tapings and then later apologized for them, has
UNLV assistant basketball coach Tim Grumharis has filed a lawsuit against the university, saying efforts were made to destroy his coaching career by secretly video taping a conditioning class he taught.
said he is concerned the tapes may show NCAA violations.
From The Associated Press
The lawsuit says UNLV officials tried to embarrass him and convict him of NCAA violations by releasing the videotapes. The tapes show apparent practices by UNLV players prior to the Oct. 15 starting date set by the NCAA.
The 27-page complaint, prepared by Grurgurich's attorney, alleges violation of the coach's civil rights in connection with the taping and subsequent meetings by university regents.
The university currently is banned from television or postseason play as a final resolution of a 12-year legal battle between the NCAA and UNLV coach Jerry Tarkianan. The school also faces allegations of 29 additional NCAA violations.
Syracuse appeal is rejected
The NCAA today rejected Syracuse's appeal to restore the eligibility of center Conrad McRae.
The Associated Press
The ruling means that the 6-foot-10 junior's career as an Orangeman has ended. However, members of the NCAA eligibility committee said they believe McAfee should be transferred to another school, he immediately would be eligible to play.
The committee ruled unanimously that Syracuse gained a substantial advantage in the recruitment of McRae, said Robert Sweye, a faculty athletics representative from Texas Tech and chairperson of the committee.
The committee found that Syracuse's basketball staff and a representative of the university's athletic interests" had several contacts with McRae and his family during his junior year at Brooklyn Tech in New York — a period when such contacts are outlawed under NCAA rules. Swaely said.
The university can appeal the decision to the NCAA subcommittee on eligibility appeals, a five-person committee of administrators from NCAA Division Institutions.
