Ford folds in series
By RICK GOSSELIN UPI Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo.--Kings' guard Phil Ford was continually praised by NBA coaches on the regular season.
That's when the North Carolina rookie was devastating the opposition with his slicing penetration and meticulous passing. That was when Ford was guiding the Kings to their first divisional title in 27 years.
But it's playtime time now and Ford has not played up to the high standard he set for himself during the regular season. He has bordered on dismal, in fact, as the Suns 2-1 win over the Suns 2-1 in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series.
FORD HAS HIT only 6-of-35 shots in the series thus far because of a touch of defensive genius by Phoenix coach John MacLead.
The two teams square off in Game 4 here tonight.
The Sans are leaving Ford wide open in the 15-20 foot range, all but begging him to shoot.
MacLeod has obviously taken note of
Ford's 46 percent season conversion rate from the field. Also, Ford chalked up 21 assists against the Suns in a February game and MacLoue wanted that type of penetration of his lane stopped.
SUPPLIES When Ford looks into the Phoenix lane now, it looks like the San Bernadino Freeway at rush hour.
Tonight at 6:30 pm in Room 100 Smith Hall
"It kind of shocks you when you down court and you're that wide open," Ford said. "I've never been played that way in my life. And when the shots don't go down, you start to think about it more."
"It ites very difficult to dig yourself out of a hole. Phil hasnt had a good game yet. And were not the same team when Phil is off his game."
Student Senate Meeting

Kings coach Cotton Fitzsimons added, "When you start out 3-d17 like Phil did in the first game, it's like a golfer who begins bogey, bogey.

Saturday he ran in the Kansas Relays marathon, finishing 47th with a 2:56:33 clocking. Last Monday he ran in the Boston Marathon. This Saturday he'll be running in Fayetteville, Ark., in the Hop Eye Marathon. Soon he'll be running in a marathon in Denver.

Meet directors often waive his entry fee, he said, and other runners try to arrange for a place for him to stay while he travels around the country.
"My goal is to try to break three hours each week," he said, and I want to do $2 consecutive marathons—one a week tor a year."
H骆塞尔's goal is to run in $2 consecutive marathons, a year's supply. If the 24-year-old Wichita native plans go as exertion, he will finish his marathon first (marathon finish number 23 in Houston).

HIS GOAL isn't accomplished this year because he didn't start until Jan. 28 in
He's trying to get a sponsor, and hopes for a job with an athletic shoe company after he financed his own.
But until then it will be Jay Helgerson's feet and pocketbook running around the country. He may run out of money, but he can't quit running until he gets his goal, he said.
San Francisco, his home when he's not on the road. He said that new his home was built in 1985.
Since he started, he has run in 13 marathons, including one 50-mile run and another 50-kilometer run besides the marathon. He also won a marathon run. That leaves him to 19 to go.
"It's like 52 dominoes," he said, "Thirteen down and 39 more to fall doesn't look as good."
he dropped out of school. He said his business and history studies would have to be reworked.
The first marathon in which the 5-6, 135-pound runner competed was almost four years ago, in June 1975 while he was still in the Marine Corps. After that one, he said, he swore that he'd never run in one again—and he didn't until January 1977.
"THERE'S NOTHING special to me about the marathon," he said. "It's tough to me. But since I don't think it ever been possible, I can make the rules up and set a precedent."
Then last fall, when he was a student cramming for finals at the University of San Francisco, he decided he wanted to run in 52 marathons. He wanted so much to do that
"I don't expect anything lucrative," he said. "I don't think of it as a monetary payoff. It might be a T-shirt payoff. I will have 22 shirts for my kids and grandkids."
"If I had waited to start this," he said, "someone else would have done it. I feel like I'm an athlete 'Joe Backyard Jock' who was never any good in anything. When I finish I'll have a little scrapbook and go back to college.
"Everybody wants to be a little unique and everybody has to carve on his niche in
He explained that there may be times such as Saturday when he had only four days off between marathons. Other times he would have eight days off.
UNIQUE HE'LL BE, because no one else
The Drake Relays is an invitational meet that will feature some of the best amateur athletes.
Building momentum for the Big Eight meet next weekend and qualifying more individuals for nationals will be the two main objectives for the women's track team when it competes this Friday and Saturday in the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.

said the meet easily would be the team's
season's season because of the high caliber of
catchers.
"A lot of older athletes will be competing in the meet," Anderson said. "We're not going to be psyched out, because we can handle competing against good athletes. We have a very good team and we'll be in every race."

"This is the best possible meet to tune-up for the Big Eight," she said. "Also, I think we have a good chance to qualify people for the nationals in the 1,500, 5,000, mile and medley relays and the high and long jumps."
Shawn Corwin has high jumped 5-10 this season indoors, but has not been able to clear the 5-8 outdoor national qualifying fence. Corwin jumped him she also will be entered in the long jump.
KAREN FITZ and Maureen Fulholm are the Jayhaws' representatives in the 5,000 Last Sunday, Fitz won the Avon 10,000 meter run in Kansas City, Mo., and Finnbol finished fourth. By winning the race, Fitz qualified for the Women's National 30-kilometer run which will be in Cincinnati on May 6.
Competing in the two-mile relay will be Finnhold, Bid Hertzgert, Diena Horne and Vici Simpson. Last week at the Kansas Relays, the relay team qualified for competition with a time of 9:10.44, which is three seconds under the national qualifying time.
Hoping to qualify in the mile relay for KU will be Homa, Simpson, Hertzorg and Loriowey. Lowyeary also will be entered in the national event she already has qualified in for nationalists.
