Cyclones fold; KU heads to KC
Associate Sports Editor
By JOHN P. THARP
Iowa *State*'s basketball team went through a six minute and 42 second college game in Tulsa.
While the Cyclones were setting themselves up for what Darnell Valentine called a long summer, KU used balanced weights to lift 71 lb. lie and turn it into a 45-28 first-ball head.
When ISU's sun finally came out, following the 20 unanswered KU points, the Cyclones were as far behind as an Arctic-night sundial.
"The long stretch in the first half where we didn't score—that told the story," a quiet Lynn Nance, ISU coach, said following his last game of the season.
It seemed everyone from Kansas was scoring in that stretch, which would have
been awesome had Iowa State not performed so poorly. The Cyclones missed five straight free throws. They didn't have a chance to miss many baskets because KU's zone defense regularly stripped the ball from their shots, then on, Iowa State didn't have a chance.
"We had fun tonight," Valentine, who finished with 11 points. His 11 assists was the third in the game.
Crawford led KU with 15 points, hitting 70 percent from the field. As a team, KU hit 53 percent in the game and a hot 65 percent in the first half.
"We took it to them early in the first half, and after that the game was over. It was easy because we made it easy. It's not that they went out and gave it to us."
It appeared that the Cyclones were trying to give the game to KU, which is now headed for round two of the post-season journey. The Ravens are coming from KU steals. Valentine had five
steals, and John Crawford, 6-7 forward, had four.
Paul Menkes, the league's second leading rebounder, out-rebounded Iowa State's Dean Uhoff, the conference's No. 1 rebounder, 11-9. It was Menkes's final game in the NBA and the final play on the points, hitting seven shots from the face for a respectable 70 percent total.
ISU's Andrew Parker showed why he is the league's lead scoring by hitting a game-high 29 points. Teammate Robert Wilson scored the scoring virtually ended for the Cyclones.
KU had six players in double figures. Everyone played and scored except Brad

It's been a long time since KU has had aaughter. So long, in fact, that coach O'Donnell came up with the idea.
But before the smallest yet liveliest crowd of the season, KU responded last night with its largest winning margin since the season opening Farleigh Dickinson folly. The team has this point victory came against Iowa State in the round open of the Holiday Tournament.
But this time the Jayhawks not only showed up the Cyclones on the court, but they tapped them in off-the-court showmanship as well.
"We looked like we were just having a good time," KU forward David Mullen said.

Magley mighty; Mokeski musing
KU could afford to have a good time after a 20-point surge late in the opening ball game.
With 7:33 left in the first half, KU called time out to regroup after five straight lowa
throws. The team lost, 6-1.
and the lead by reeling off 20 unanswered points in the next $6 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes.
"Defense that's all it was." Magley said, "Defense won the game."
During the surge KU picked off four steals and Magley contributed seven points. He shocked off in the second half, but he was able to put up a goal, still finished with a career-high 13 points.
"We had to get something going to get the crowd up and use them to our advantage," he said. "We only had 5,000 and they were as loud as 17,000."
"If Notre Dame's crowd is their sixth man, then our crowd has got to be our most important."
"Personally, I know that our crowd has helped me through some hard times."
But Magley hasn't been bothered by many hard times later. Last night's performance makes him the team's third leading rebounder over the past four games, and he has hit 12 of 15 free throws in the last two contests.
Magley, however, wasn't the only player moved by the crowd in the final home game.
Paul Mokeski admitted that he was a little rein-jed-yed after a special introduction with the conductor. "It felt like I was a big fan."
"It was pretty touching," he said, and "a weird feeling knowing this is the last time I've ever had to cry."
After pickering up his fourth foul early in the second hull, Mokesi sat down and talked.
"Myself, Darnell (Valentine) and John (Crawford) had a good time on the bench just messing with her," he said. "When I thought about it the introduction again."
With 4:15 left to play, Mokeski went back in and 17 seconds later left after picking up his fifth foul. The crowd responded with a standing ovation.
Sanders, who had an assist and a blocked shot for his final game here.
Undaunted, Mokeski raised his first,
returned to the bench and tossed his
sweatbands into the jovial crowd behind
a final salute to the fans behind the
bench.
Booty Neal, who finished with 10 points,
summed up the game.
"Total team effort, that was it," he said.
"It was the best team effort this year."
Neal, who started, said that everybody came through when needed.
KU coach Ted Owens, who is either somber or shouting on the bench, was actually smiling during the game, but cautiously.
"I don't take anything for granted," Owens said. "I've seen teams come back from big deficits before. I don't know if this is the best we've played this year, but at times tonight we played as well as we have before."
The Jayhawks' victory sends them to Kemper Awakens in Kansas City for a 7-08 game Friday night against Missouri, which beat Oklahoma State last night 92-70. The KU-MU game are on sale in Allen Field House today only for $8.38 and $7.40.
in other first-round games last night, Kansas State beat Nebraska 61-40 in a double overtime, and Oklahoma beat Oklahoma in the second game. Krause will face Oklahoma in the second game Krause.

Men swimmers to defend conference crown
Snorts Writer
Bv MIKE EARLE
S six months, eight duals and countless practice laps after daily workouts began in September. KU's men's swimming team is the Big Eight championship to defend its Big Eight championship.
The Jayhaws used a balanced attack last year and head coach Bill Spahn, in his second year as coach, is relying on depth to win his second championship.
"I looks real close on paper," Spainn said.
Anything can happen. We want to score well.
And we can.
Spain said he hoped to get more scoring from his sprint swimmers this year. His second-year assistant coach, Wiley Hogan, assists the sprinters and says he expects better results.
Wright said, "We have a lot more confidence this year. There is a biel between our sprinters and individual medley swimmers that we will score more points.
SPRINTERS JESSE Gray, Jay Kerusits, Rick Jenkins and Brent Barnes will try to catch Missouri's defending champ Kevin Deferrest in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events. Deferrest won the outstanding swimmer award last year.
Although the shoes are not set yet, if the sprinter wins in their bet, KU could run away
The Jawhawks' strength is in the individual medley, breast stroke, butterfly kick.
Heading the breast stroke and individual medley entrants is Steve Graves. He was a three-way winner last year, taking firsts in both the breaststroke and medley entrants and the 200-distance breast stroke.
Graves will have plenty of help in the medley from Mark Cole and Brent Miller. Joining Graves in the breast stroke will be Captainains Kris Flasca and Jed Blankenship.
KU'S OTHER TRI-CAPTAIN, Jim Sauer.
leads the butterfly entries along with Bill Crampton.
The Jayhawks will need strong performances from Dave Killen, who is batting a cold, Doug, Dong Smith and Griff Docking to offset Oklahoma State's distance freestyleers. The Cowboys placed first and second in the 500- and 1,500-freestyle.
Tom Anagnos and Kurt Anselmi are among the conference's best divers. Anselmi won last year's one-meter complied second in the three-meter com- pleted. Anagnos placed behind Anselmi in both events and won the one-meter title two years ago.
BESIDES DEFENDING its title, Spain,
he hopes KU will have some qualifiers
Peter Bakker-Arkema and Jenkins will have their hands full in the 100-and 200-yard backstroke against some tough Missouri swimmers.
"We'd like to qualify all three relay
teams," Spahn said. "Several guys have a good chance."
The Jayhawks, 6-2 this season in co-op
action, left yesterday to prepare for the first
season.
"We need a day to relax," Spahn said. "We have a few workouts, but the guys will need it."
One of the duties the swimmers will tend to is shaving their legs. The ritual is done only before big meets, Spahn said, and this season the team has shaved for a meet this season.
"It (Shaving) does make a difference," Spahn said. "It helps cut friction in the water. People might think it's psychological, but it really helps."
Last year, KU won the meet with 426
last points, followed by Missouri with 354.
State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Colorado
in the league, followed to round out the rest of
the league.
