Kansas basketball the 1991-92 edi-
tion, made its first appearance Satur-
daynight, defeating High Five America
99-82.
Five Jayhawk newcomers got their first taste of basketball, Kansas style, in front of 15,750 fans at Allen Field House.
Junior point guard Adonis Jordan said the newcomers blended in well.
"I was really, really nervous right before the game," said Northwestern transfer Rev Walters. "I came out at the game and marked and felt a lot better after that."
"They did a lot of nice things," he said. "They were nervous, but after a few possessions, they just played basketball."
All 12 Kansas players saw action, and four of them scored in double digits.
Senior forward Alonzo Jamison lee the Jayhawks with 22 points, and sophomore forwards with 14 points. Palmers and freshman forward Ben Davis added 15 and 10 respectively.
Coach Roy Williams said the Jaya-
selves things about them selves from the game.
"I thought our guys did a pretty good job, William said." "It wasn't the pretend one," he replied.
High Five played a zone defense throughout the game, which slowed down the Javawks.
"We practiced against the zone only one day of the entire preseason," Williams said. "One assistant said it was fairly impressive to score 99 points against the zone with how much it slows the game down.
"We didn't get near the movement I wanted against the zone."
wingsmen Kansas opened up leads of 19-6, 23-10 and 38-22 before High Five came to life. The visitors went on a 13-7 at the end of the first half, cutting Kansas' lead to 45-35.
Kansas shot 48 percent from the field in the first half. Jamison and Scott combined for 9-of-10 shooting, but Jordan and Pauley together went zero for nine. Jamison was also eight for 10 from the line.
"Eric was a little shaky in the first half, but he came out and did some nice things the second half," Williams said. "He was 0-for-four in the first half, but every shot he took, I wanted him to

take."
Jordan rebounded in the second half to go three for six, including a second-half opening three-pointer, and finished with seven points. Jordan played with a face mask to protect his broken nose.
Jordan said the clear, plastic mask, which he got Friday, was better than the previous one he had. He has to wear the mask for at least four more weeks.
"Knowing I have something on my face doesn't help," he said. "When driving the lane, I was scared of getting hurt."
Williams said the mask would take some getting used to.
"He's going to be a neck of a shooter, I think," he said. "I've given him the green light this year, so that shows he's proven to me he's a good shooter."
Kansas never looked back in the second half, opening leads of up to 18 points.
Freshman guard Greg Gurley hained a three-pointer with 5 seconds left to give Kansas its final 17-point victory margin of 99-82.
Kansas shot 51 percent from the field for the game, 33 percent from the three-point line and 71 percent from the free-throw line. High Five America hit 46 percent of its shots from the field.
The game was postponed 30 minutes
before the first call. America was
delayed while traveling.
It was the team's sixth game in six days and part of a 14-day, 14-game tour of the country. The visitors have lost to Southern California, Washington State and California and have beaten Stanford and San Jose State during the tour.
High Five was led by Chris Morrisand Zack Jones, who had 16 points each.
Williams said he told the Jayhawks to attack the basket during the game.
"I didn't think we were nearly as aggressive as I wanted us to be," Williams said. "The first half in particular, we put them on the free-throw line and instead of using our feet, we were reaching in and grabbing.
"Offensively I thought we dribbed it too much and held it too much instead of moving the ball quickly."
Kansas will play its final exhibition game at 7 p.m. Saturday at Allen Field House against East Melbourne, Australia.

Gutsy play gives Buffs victory, saves bowl hope
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oklahoma State is not in the habit of doing Oklahoma any favors, but the Cowboys did their best Saturday to put the Sooners back in the Orange Bowl picture.
But in the end, the effort went for naught because of one of the most remarkable轧料 the dice any Coors Bill McCartneygamed and won.
The Associated Press
With six seconds left in the game, Colorado's Robbie James threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Christian Fauria on a fake field goal, rescue the Buffaloes from a killer of an upset and give them a 16-12 victory over still-winless Oklahoma State.
"However long I've been coaching—25 years or so, I guess—that's the gutsiest call I've ever seen." Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones said of McCarty's call on third and 10. "A field goal will win the game. I guess clean living triumphed again with Bill. He're slightly a nicer guy than I am. He always has been."
Junior Adonis Jordan puts up a shot against High Five America
The victory kept No. 16 Colorado (6-2-1, 4-0-1) still in contention for the Big Eight title and the Orange Bowl bid with No. 11 Nebraska.
If Oklahoma State (0-8-1, 0-4-1) had won, No. 18 Oklahoma would have zoomed into the Orange Bowl picture because the Sooners were manhandling defensively deficient Missouri 56-16. Oklahoma's Mike Gaddis rushed for 217 yards and four touchdowns and showed everything why Missouri has the worst rush defense of 106 Division I-A teams. The Tigers (3-5-1, 1-4) are guaranteed another losing season.
McCartney, still hopeful of a third straight Orange Bowl trip, said his play was not the huge risk many assumed because James was instructed to throw the ball away if the receiver was not open. Then on fourth down, the Buffs would have tried the field goal.
Colorado committed six turnovers in the game, including a school-record five in the first half.
On Colorado's final drive, backup quarterback Vance Joseph scrambled on fourth and 14 long enough to find backlash James Hill for a 17-yard completion.
