rivalry will be over. Hartman announced his retirement from coaching last month.
"Those types of experiences always trigger certain memories and certain nostalgia." Hartman said yesterday. "Anytime you beat Kansas in Allen Field House it's very special."
In Hartman's 10 years at Kansas State, he has a 21-22 record against the Jahawks—including six wins in Allen Field House, more than any other Big Eight coach except
"It it would be tough for me to think of any win there that was the biggest for our team," Hartman said. "I think that when you play in places with great tradition like Allen Field House, it's always an added bonus to win."

But Hartman said his chances of getting one last win in the field house could be tough, as the Wildcats, 16-10 overall and 4-7 in the Big Eight, are faced with breaking Kansas' 31-game home court winning streak.
A Kansas win would clinch the Big Eight title.
Hartman said Kansas' quickness could cause K-State its biggest problem. He compared the Jayhawks, ranked third in the country by both national wire service polls, with Oklahoma State. The Wildcats beat Oklahoma State on Wednesday night 78-73 in Manhattan.
"They're both very quick teams, but Kansas is better and much more experienced," Hartman said. "Their experience is what makes the difference. They start three good seniors and (Danny) Manning and (Cedric) Hunter play like seniors. I think they're totally deserving of
their national ranking."
The Jayhawks, 25-3 and 10-1,
returned to Lawrence yesterday
after surviving a near-upset at
Colorado on Wednesday night.
"Colorado out-played us," Turgeon said. "I think a lot of it had to do with the way we executed, but we weren't as intense on the court. They played much better out there than they did here."
The win, combined with Oklahoma's 66-64 loss to Nebraska, assured the Jayhawks of at least a tie for the Big Eight title.
Kansas last met the Wildcats on
Feb. 1 in Manhattan and came away
with a 6450 win. Danny Manning
drove points and grabbed nine
rebounds.
Kansas State center Norris Coleman and guard Joe Wright have been Hartman's offensive weapons. In the Oklahoma State win, the two combined for 52 points, including 30 by Coleman.
"I think we've started to take 30-point games by Norris for granted," Hartman said. "I think he and Joe have carried us offensively throughout the season."

Jayhawk Notes — In the Colorado win, the Jayhawks had two players score over 20 points for the first time in eight games. Manning had 25 and forward Ron Kellogg added 20. Hartman's Allen Field House record is 6-10. He hasn't won in Lawrence since 1983. K-State's 50 points in the last game was the fewest by a Kansas opponent this season.

To the NFL championship the Bears shuffled, now some KU fans want to do it to the finals of the NCAA tournament.
One of those fans is Mike Kirsch, co-owner of Gammons, 1601 W. 23rd, who wrote a rap song, titled "Naismith's Delight," about the KU basketball team.
Kirsch said yesterday that he wrote the song to show his appreciation of the team's success.
After writing the song over a period of a few weeks, Kirsch asked one of his employees, John Gamble, Overland Park junior, to sing the lyrics to some background music.
The song was played first at Gammons on Wednesday night. It already has been played on a local radio station. A music video also is in the
making.
Bob Newton, station manager of KLZR-FM in Lawrence, said his station received a copy of the song and played it for the first time last night.
Even though it wasn't top-4 material, Newton said the song would be played periodically on the station as long as it was timely.
Charley Crabtree, advertising director for Sunflower Cablevision, said the cable service probably would make a video of the song, highlights from some of this year's KU basketball games.
"It's true, blue Jayhawks," he said.
He said the video probably would run as a introduction to KU basketball games televised on Sunflower Cablevision or possibly before the Larry Brown Show
hours to write the song and about 6
hours to record it.
He had to secure the rights of a record company in order to use the background music from a label record.
The song, which sounds somewhat similar to the "Super Bowl Shuffle" by the Chicago Bears, may be offered for sale, according to Kirsch, if about 200 or 300 people asked for copies. Kirsch said he probably would change the name of the song if a record was made.
The rap song features descriptions of Larry Brown and the five starting players on the team and some reserve players.
One part of the song describes the play of Calvin Thompson and Mark Turgeon:
"Next comes Calvin, who can do it all."
Alley-oop, slam dunk just give him the ball!
On the next possession, here comes the break.
Turgeon the surgeon will make you quake."
Another part describes Brown's activities on the bench:
"Brown is up and out of his seat, With his hand in the air, they can't be beat.
Look out Dallas, here they come,
The Jayhawks are shooting for No.
1."
Larry Epley, Topea junior, said he had heard the song at Gammons and thought it would motivate the fans.
However, he said, he didn't think he would buy a recording of the song.

The key to beating K-State, Washington said, is that her team will have to put two good halves together with special attention paid to the middle.
Kansas State, 5-6, 14-10, is in sixth place.
"We have allowed too many easy buckets underneath," she said. "The middle people need to play inspired ball, or we are going to be hurting. We hurt ourselves if we are not playing hard on defense."
"Carlisa can hurt you badly," Washington said of K-State player Carlisa Thomas. "If you let her loose she can really tear a club up."
Washington said that her team needed to control the middle lane better to win.

KU head tennis coach Scott Perelman said the matches would determine what his Jayhawks were made of because of the caliber of the competition.
The Kansas women's tennis team will continue its road schedule this weekend at Wichita with three matches in as many days beginning today.

For the Jayhawks, this weekend will be the latest edition to their continuing story of road adventures. The Jayhawks have compiled a 4-20 record without playing a match at home this season.

of depth. Kansas will face Minnesota on Saturday. The Jayhawks will finish their road trip with a Sunday afternoon match against Wichita State, the host team and a perennial intrastate rival of Kansas.
Perelman said the tournament, which matched Kansas against what he thought were three extremely well-coached teams, would be the toughest of the season for the Javahaws.
"It's going to be a tough weekend, but it will be the best indicator of how strong we really are at this point," he said.
Last weekend, the team traveled to Springfield, Mo., where it defeated
Arkansas 5-4 on Saturday for its second win of the season over the Razorbacks. Kansas then defeated Southwest Missouri State 7-1 on Sunday.
Perealman said the victories last weekend had improved the mental attitude and confidence of the team. He said he hoped the rigorous practices had conditioned them physically.
He said that because his team matched up well with the teams it faced this weekend, Kansas' success would be determined by its performance in doubles competition.
"I think we are ready to go." Perelman said. "But as in any sport, you never know how ready you are until you get there."
Turgeon leaves mark in classroom
By a Kansan sports writer
People usually see Kansas guard Mark Turgeon turn in his best performances on the basketball court, but the Big Eight Conference honored Turgeon this week for his off-the-court accomplishments.
Turgeon earned a 2.9 grade point average last fall, good enough to land him a spot on the All-Big Eight academic team.
"I'm pretty happy," Turgeon, a junior in personnel administration, said yesterday. "I struggled a lot my first couple of years, so I'm really glad I made it."
Turgeon is joined by Colorado guard Mike Reid, Nebraska guard Brian Carr, Nebraska forward John Matzke and Oklahoma forward Dave Sieger on the first team
Turgeon said the time constraints of varsity athletes sometimes made it hard to fit studying in. Basketball players have to work studying around practice, which takes up much of their afternoons.
"I just tried much harder than ever before," he said. "I studied a lot more in the afternoons and just tried to stay on top of things and not fall behind in any of my classes."

Eight swimmers to make final splash
Sports writer
They will swim in their last meet of the season this weekend at the Phillips 66 pool in Bartlesville, Okla.
Five days a week, the Kansas swim team undergoes two hours of intensive in-the-pool conditioning. And three times a week the team lifts weights. The season which never seems to end will conclude this weekend for eight swimmers.
The rest of the team will be preparing for the Big Eight Championships March 6-8 at Lincoln, Neb.
The meet begins at 7 p.m. today. It continues at 9 a.m. tomorrow and
Celine Cerny, graduate assistant swim coach, will coach the eight swimmers this weekend.
"I am looking for the best swims out of them this weekend," Cerny said. "This weekend is what we've been working for all year."
The eight who will go to Bartlesville are Laura Hagerson, Wichita freshman; Patti Crane, Lawton, Okla., sophomore; Anne Bloomfield, Bartlesville sophomore; Becky Heil, Little Rock, Ark., junior; Mice Crouch, Lakewood, Colo., freshman; Tom Dow, Woodlands, Texas, freshman; Jeff Stone, Topeka sophomore; and Scott Chamberlain, Newton junior.
Jeff Stone, a member of the KU swim team, works out for the Phillips 66 Swim Meet, which starts tonight, in Bartlesville, Okla. Stone and the rest of the team were practicing yesterday at Robinson Natatorium.
"I've enjoyed this season," Crane said, "but it is frustrating that I don't get to compete at the Big Eight."
She said that the disappointment lasted a day but that she decided she would go into the meet with the intention to swim for her best times.
"You take a chance. There are no guaranties of who will be chosen to go to Big Eight." said Gary Kempf, Kansas head swim coach. "These are good kids and an integral part of what we do."
"The greatest satisfaction I'll get is proving myself," Chamberlain
Chamberlain said he understood that Kempf took only the fastest swimmers to the Big Eight Championships. He said he was just going to swim and hoped to improve his times.

Although tapering physically aids the swimmers, the men have a ritual
The swimmers, who are going to Bartlesville, had to speed up their tapering process.
Tapering, Kempf said, involves decreasing the swimmer's practice load so that they can store energy. The stored energy is used toward swimming faster.

Stone is using his head to show his school spirit. He shaved an inscription "Hawks" into his hair.

Stone swam last season until Thanksgiving break. He said he returned this year because he missed the sport and wanted to see if he could improve over last year.
