Cats to test gymnasts

Enjoying its best season in KU history, the Jayhawk gymnastics team will host the Kansas State Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Robinson gymnasium.
The Jayhawks have won ten straight duals since losing the opener to national power Iowa State and will put the streak on the line before a parent's night crowd.
Coach Bob Lockwood said Tuesday that his charges are in good shape and well prepared for the match with the exception of Fred McCracken, Wichita senior, who recently injured a hand in practice. Lockwood said McCracken, the only senior on the team, would definitely miss Friday night's action and may miss the conference meet in two weeks.
Lockwood said Kansas State has its best team in history and that the dual should be a great one.
K-State's best score this season is 157.35 compared to KU's best of 158.85.
"Whoever hits their routines the hardest will win the meet," he said. "Both teams are strong and about equal in depth."
One of the more interesting matchups should come in all around competition. The Wildcats' Kenny Snow, a Lawrence product, is currently rated third in the conference while the Jayhawks' John Brouillette, a Wichita junior, is ranked fourth.
Lockwood termed Snow as one of the best in the country, an indication of the strength of Big Eight gymnastics. He said Snow has been scoring close to S3 in
KU tough at home
Kansas' basketball team will be shooting for its first perfect home record in four years when the Jayhawks wind up their season against tournament bound Kansas State at 8:05 p.m. Saturday in Allen Field House..
Coach Ted Owens' Jayhawks have won all 12 home games this winter, but on the road it's been a different story as Kansas managed only four victories in 13 games.
Last time Kansas logged a perfect season at home was in 1966 when that NCAA club finished 10-0 for its Allen Field House dates. The next year the Jayhawks won all their regular season home games, but bowed to Houston in the NCAA regional played on KU's home court.

The Jayhawks' performance this season has resulted in praise from Lockwood.
"This is by far the best team ever in KU history," he said. "We are averaging 8.8 per man and that's a whale of an average."
After Friday night the Jayhawks will have two weeks off before the Big Eight conference
