Jayhawks give seniors something to remember
By Matt Tidwell
Sports writer
Forget Kansas' 90-70 win over Iowa State on Saturday at Allen Field House, the atmosphere in the arena — before, during and after — was more like a party than a basketball game.
And the guests of honor, who arrived for their last game in the field house decked out in tuxedos, were the Jayhawk seniors — Calvin Thompson, Greg Dreiling and Ron Kellogg.
Men's Basketball
The celebration that the Jayhawks suppressed last week after clinching
the Big Eight Conference championship happened
Kellogg perched himself on the basket. Dreiling and Thompson were waiting with scissors. And the nets were finally cut down.
"We really wanted to go out in style," Kellogg said. "I was so into it. Calvin and Greg helped me up there, and I just started cutting."
Perhaps the biggest cheer came in the pregame celebration, when the three seniors and their families were recognized individually. The 15,500 Jayhawk fans gave them a standing ovation and said goodbye to the three players whom head coach Larry Brown said had laid the foundation for the future.
Brown said even though it was tough to see the end for the seniors in the field house, he thought their performances could signal bigger and better things in the post-season.
"This was a tough game for me," Brown said. "To lose these guys and know they won't be back in the field house was tough. I hope we can use this game as a springboard to the NGAA Tournament."
The No. 2 Jayhawks celebrated during the game by getting a blow-out win over an old menace — Iowa State. The Cyclones had caused the Jayhawks lots of problems in beating them 77-74 earlier this season in Ames, Iowa State's third straight win over the Jayhawks. Brown had a meager 2-4 record against Iowa State.
The win moved Kansas' record to 28-3 overall and 13-1 in the conference. Iowa State fell to 18-9 and 9-5. The Cyclones already had climbed the second seed in the coming post-season Big Eight Tournament.
After the game, the seniors said they didn't want to go out losers. All three had good games. Kellogg finished with 20 points and six rebounds, Thompson had 15 points and six rebounds and Drelling finished with 14 points and seven rebounds. All five starters finished in double figures.
"I think they were under a lot of pressure," Brown said. "They had a difficult time focusing on the game because it was their last one here."
The win tied two school records. It was the 33rd consecutive win at home, which was previously set between 1950-55. It also was the 28th win of the season, which tied the record of the 1951-52 team.
Two Cyclones who have been almost constant trouble-makers for Kansas, Jeff Hornacek and Sam Hill, were below their season scoring averages. Hornacek fin.shed with 12 and Hill had seven points.
"I thought we had to play well in spots to beat a good team like that by 20," Brown said. "They're a terrific team. They're the only team in the conference to beat us. So it was important that we come back and win against them."

'Hawks place high at championships
By Jim Suhr

The Kansas men's and women's track teams placed fourth and third in the Big Eight Conference indoor track and field meet this weekend at Lincoln, Neb., defying a Big Eight coaches poll that had predicted them to finish sixth and seventh.
The Kansas men, had only one conference champion, Craig Branstrom in the high jump, and scored 67 points to tie with Oklahoma State for fourth place. Iowa State won the meet, with 118 points. Oklahoma finished second, with 92. Nebraska followed in third, with 77.
"The girls just believed in themselves and they knew what they had to do," Coffey said of a team that improved from a fourth place finish of last season.
On the women's side, Kansas finished third, with 63 points, behind run-away conference champion Nebraska and runner-up Kansas State.
The bulk of Kansas' points, aside from Branstrom's 6-feet-11½ leap to win the high jump, came in the pole vault. In that event, Scott Huffman placed second with a vault of 17-feet-9½.
The Tar Heels, losing for the third time in the last four games, dropped to 10-4 in the conference and 26-4 overall
Denise Buchanan, who dominated the shot put with a 50-feet-7 toss that was more than four feet further than the second-place finisher, was Kansas' only conference champion.
Kansas head coach Bob Timmons and Kansas head women's coach Carla Coffey said they had known all along that their teams could place in the upper half of the conference.
Carla Coffey, KU women's head coach, said she was excited about her team's finish, a finish that was very pleasant for both her and her team.
However, Timmons said. Oklahoma was the meet's biggest surprise.
Track
"We weren't aware of Oklahoma," Timmons said. "We haven't seen them all season and we didn't think they were that good. They were a team that came out of nowhere and rose to near the top."
It was the first time the Blue Devils, 29-2 for the season and 12-2 in the ACC, had won the conference title outright since 1966. They tied with North Carolina for the crown in 1979. The victory also gave Duke the No. 1 seed for the ACC tournament which starts Friday.
Coffey said she couldn't say enough about the performances of her pentatheletes, who accounted for 85 percent of Kansas' scoring.
Dawkins raised his four-year point to total 2,343, surpassed Mike Gimnski and became Duke's all-time leading scorer. He is No. 2 in ACC history behind Dick Hemric, who had 2,587 for Wake Forest.
Henderson, a 6-foot-5 guard, finished with 27 points, while senior guard Johnny Dawkins added 21. Senior forward Mark Alarie had 16 and junior Tommy Amaker had 14.
Georgia Tech took a 2-0 lead with 18:53 left in the first half on a layup by Bruce Dalrymple and never trailed. The Yellow Jackets led 35-27 at halftime and built their biggest lead, 21 points, midway through the second half.
DURHAM, N.C. — Senior David Henderson scored 11 points during a late 14- run for top-ranked Duke as the Blue Devils beat No. 3 North Carolina 82-7 yesterday and won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season basketball title.
Georgia Tech, now 23-5 overall and 11-3 in the ACC, got 14 points from Dalrymple while reserve Tom Hammonds added 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Brad Daugherty led North Carolina with 24 points, followed by Lebo Lebo's 18, Joe Wolf's 14 and Curtis Hunter's 10.
North Carolina played its third game in a row game without starting guard Steve Hale, out with a collapsed lung.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Senior guard Milt Wagner made two free throws with one second remaining as 13th-ranked Louisville defeated seventh-ranked Memphis State 70-9 to take the 1985-86 Metro Conference regular season crown.
Louisville upped its record to 24-7 overall and 10-2 in the conference in winning its ninth straight game and its seventh Metro Conference title. Louisville will have a first-round bye in the Metro postseason tournament, to be played in Louisville March 7-9.

ATLANTA — John Salley scored 20 points and Mark Price contributed 16, leading No. 4 Georgia Tech to a 74-63 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over cold-shooting Clemson.
Holmes led Memphis State with 19, while Bedford added 15 and Dwight Boyd 12.
But the Cardinals went cold and baskets by Baskerville Holmes and Vincent Askew put Memphis State ahead 69-68 with 52 seconds left.
Behind freshman center Pervis Ellison, who scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half, Louisville led 68-65 with 2:34 left.
Clemson, 17-13 and 3-11, was paced in scoring by Glen McCants with 14 while Horace Grant came off the bench to score 11 points.

seventh-ranked Jayhawks over visiting Barton County Community College yesterday afternoon.
Kansas, which scored 39 runs in its two games yesterday, won the first game 18-0 and the second game 21-0 and improved its record to 3-0. The Jayhawks opened their season Friday with a 31-0 rout of Johnson County Community College at Jayhawk Field.
Bob Stancill, Kansas head softball coach, said that he was pleased with the Kansas offensive outburst but that the junior college competition was not indicative of the caliber of competition Kansas would face later in the season.
"The amount of runs scored will not be typical of Division I schools we'll face later on." Stanclift said.
Kansas' next competition will be Thursday when they travel to New Mexico State to compete in the Road Runner Tournament at Las Crusses.
Malaysian team wins International Olympics

The Malaysian Student Association All-Stars finished 48 points ahead of the Indonesian Student Association to win their second consecutive International Olympics title over the weekend at Robinson Center.
"I'll tell you why we're going to win," he said. "It's because we join everything.
"We love to get involved in things. Today I play basketball with my friends. Later, I go watch Danny Manning play basketball."
The Malaysians had two teams entered and each competed separately. Both teams had athletes in all five
Debbie Roberts, tournament director, said the number of Malaysians in the group had something to do with the victory.
The Malaysian group, which is the largest foreign student organization at the University of Kansas, had 45 of its 193 members entered in the competition. Choo Khimwoo, Kota Bharu, Malaysia, sophomore, predicted Saturday that his team would win.
events. The events were volleyball, basketball, indoor soccer, badminton and table tennis. The Malaysians first team won in volleyball, women's table tennis and men's badminton.
"The more people you enter in each event, the better chance you have for getting points," she said.
"When the guy from the Malaysian team came around to sign up his people, he had a computer print out of names that stretched nearly to the floor."
Malaysian Student Association All-Stars finished with 114 points. Indonesian Student Association had 66 points, Chinese Student Association scored 35 points, Latin America Student Association had 34.5 points, and an American team, the Anilweeds, had 26 points rounding out the top five places of the nine-team competition.
Craig Mostafa, director of indoor soccer, said it was more than sheer numbers that made the Malaysians so formidable.
"They seem more polished than the rest, especially in volleyball and badminton," he said. "I think they've been practicing, getting ready for this."
Steve Yeoh, Kedah, Malaysia, graduate student, said his team looked polished for a reason.
"We get together at the gym once a week," he said. "The rest of the week we must study, but on Fridays we can get together and play sports."
Yeoh said the Malaysian group played hardest in competitions involving other student organizations.
"We like to compete," he said. "We want to show that we can play games too — and that we can win."
