Although the Kansas women's basketball team played strong defense, the Jayhawks didn't show patience on offense, Marian Washington, women's head basketball coach, said after the Jayhawks' 87-77 loss to Missouri last night at Allen Field House.
"Our offense wasn't as patient as it should have been," Washington said. "We did put up some good shots as well as bad shots. We just couldn't put them down."
The Jayhawks were never able to get within six points of the Tigers late in the second half. Kansas center Kelly Jennings made a short jump shot to make the score 64-58 with 7:23 left in the game.
The Tigers, the defending Big Eight champions, outscored Kansas 10-2 during a stretch in the second half to make the score 76-65.
"Missouri overplayed us," Kansas forward Vickie Adkins said. "At times we felt rushed on offense to catch up, but that shouldn't have affected our game."
Adkins led all scorers with 32 points. Jayhawk forward Sandy Shaw came off the bench to add 13 points. For the Tigers, center Renee Kelly scored 26 points.
Kelly has been averaging 22.5 points a game. Adkins averages 22.2 points.
"Our first half shooting helped us," said Joann Rutherford, Tiger head coach. "I thought we would have been ahead more, but our 18 turnovers hurt us. We shot the ball exceptionally well. You just cannot say enough about Vickie Adkins."
Kelly was taken out of the game in the first half because she was

called for three quick personal fouls.
"It hurts us when she's not in there," Rutherford said. "But we matched up because Jennings got into foul trouble too."
Jennings was sent to the bench with 9:56 remaining in the first half because she got into foul trouble with two fouls. Washington played her only a few minutes at a time during the rest of the half.
"When Kelly got two quick fouls, we had to make a decision," Washington said. "We decided to take her out of the game to save her for the second half."
The Tigers, shooting 59 percent from the field, were more consistent than the Jayhawks. Kansas shot 47 percent.
Kansas dropped to second place in the Big Eight conference. Its record is 5-4 in the conference and 14-8 overall. Missouri is tied with the Jayhawks at 5-4. The Tiger's overall record is 13-9.
The Jayhawks play Nebraska Saturday 30 minutes after the men's game in the field house.

Fans respond to promotional gimmicks

The pain of losing was a little easier to bear last night for the Kansas women's basketball team because of a factor other teams take for granted — a good-sized crowd.
The largest non-doubleheader crowd in more than two seasons, 1,550 fans, came to Allen Field House to watch the Jayhawks.
The Kansas women's task force, formed last month by the Athletic Department, prepared a slate of promotions to get people in the
The team had been averaging only a few hundred people a game.
"I know it helps us when people come out and support us," Kansas head coach Marian Washington said. "I think what happened was that the administration got behind it."
For last night's game, the women's task force came up with a variety of promotions including free admission and numerous giveaways. At the end of the game, airline tickets for two to Florida were given to a ticketholder.
Even though the task force wants fans to show up for the genuine excitement and appreciation of the game, Gary Hunter, assistant athletic director, said he hoped this would be just the lure to keep fans coming back.
"What we want to do is try and create awareness and appreciation of women's sports," Hunter said. "We're hoping that once people get here and see how exciting the girls are that they'll keep coming back."
Kansas guard Eveette Ott said a large crowd not only helped the
Jayhawks play well, it also helped the team's self-image.
"I think it fires us up more and I know it makes us feel more like we're a part of the University," Ott said.
Kapaun receives year suspension
After the game, Washington picked the trip winner and then gave a personal thank-you to the crowd.
"Since we had lost, at first I wanted to just pick the ticket and then get out of there," Washington said. "But then I realized that people need to know that we really appreciate their support."

TOPEKA - Wichita's Kapau-Mt. Carmel High School yesterday was barred from participating in any post-season athletic competition or academic activities for one year after it was determined that three non-Catholic students received improper tuition payments.
Nelson Hartman, executive secretary of the Kansas State High School Activities Association, announced the penalties following a six-hour hearing between school officials and the association's nine-member executive board.
Hartman said the penalties, which include a two-year probation for the school and forfeiture of all games in which the three students played the past three years, are the most severe ever administered to a Kansas high school.
"It's the first time we've had sanctions of the ennominy because we've never had such blatant violations of rules and regulations regarding payment of tuition for non-Catholic students before," Hartman said.
The decision means Kapaun-M Carmel will relinquish its trophies for second-place finishes in the state Class 5A football competition the past two seasons and sub-state honors in basketball last season.
Steve Buek, the head basketball coach, was also suspended for the remainder of the 1985-86 season. He has been suspended since Dec. 13, when the tuition payment violations were first reported to the KSHSAA.
Also affected are track and field awards, music honors and awards earned in any other activities in which Rod Redo, Chris Fox or Drew Bessey participated.
The three boys, all seniors at the school, were declared ineligible by the executive board after it was discovered they had received tuition assistance from outside sources including a school-operated trust fund.
Hartman said the penalties were so severe because the school's former principal, Sister Kathleen Gilbert, said in a letter she unwittingly signed checks last summer which were tuition payments for the three boys.
Georgia instructor awarded settlement
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — A U.S. District Court jury decided yesterday that two Georgia officials violated the free speech rights of English instructor Jan Kemp when they fired her in 1983 after she spoke out against preferential treatment for student athletes in the school's remedial Developmental Studies program.
The jury said Kemp was entitled to $79,680 in back pay, $200,000 for mental stress, $1 for damage to her reputation, $1.5 million in punitive damages from Virginia Trotter, vice president for academic affairs, and $800,000 in punitive damages from Leroy Ervin, director of the developmental studies program.
The five-woman, one-man jury found Kemp's constitutional rights were violated in both her demotion from the position of English coordinator in the developmental studies program and her firing as an assistant professor in 1983.
Kemp sued after she was fired and charged that she was demoted and
then fired from the university because she spoke out against preferential treatment for student athletes in Georgia's remedial developmental studies program.
According to trial testimony, admission standards at the university were relaxed for some athletes. Some were promoted from the remedial program despite failing to meet academic requirements and others were provided individual instruction.
Defense witnesses testified such treatment also was available to non-athletic students but the athletes needed more help because they did not receive an adequate education in high school.
University officials have maintained that Kemp lost her job because she could not get along with colleagues and refused to conduct required scholarly research.
Defense attorney Hale Almand told the jury in closing arguments Monday that Kemp's real interest in the case was to get revenge on the university rather than to improve the school.
Kansas prepares for its future by signing 24 football players
By Jim Suhr Sports writer
The roster of the KU football team grew by 24 players yesterday, the first day recruits could sign their letters-of-entreat and commit to play for National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I schools.
Jim Cochran, Kansas' recruiting career, said yesterday that time would be the test of how successful the recruiting season was. The high school signees, he said, were recruited to be developed over time.
"We can't be sure we've met goals until they suit up," he said.
Kansas' signes include three junior college running backs, a position Cochran said was important for Kansas in order to supplement its pass-oriented offense.
The running backs are:
*Tim Ledford; the 6-foot, 235-pounder rushed 160 times for 460 yards and three touchdowns last season at Mt. San Antonio Community College in Walnut, Calif. Ledford, who led the team in receiving with 31 catches for 203 yards, was named the team's most valuable player last season.
■ Scott Schriner: a 5-10, 195-pounder from Butler County Community College, Schriner rushed for 1,420 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He was named as a NJCAA All-American last season and his team's most valuable player.
Arnold Snell: a 6-0, 200-pounder and considered to be a top big-copleague running back prospect from a junior college. Snell was named honorable mention All-America as a kicker and punt returner.
Ledford, Schriner and Snell are three of eight junior college transfers in sign with the Jayhawks.
Kansas signed two others, Mark Brown and Teddy Newman, from Dixie Junior College in St. George, Utah. Brown, a 6-2, 10-5 pound-defensive back, was a first team All-Western State Football League and all-region pick. He had 42 tackles and four interceptions last season.
Newman, a 6-4, 240-pound defensive end, was a first-tier all-league, all-conference, and NJCAA All-American defensive selection. He had 111 tackles, 28 of which were quarterback sacks.

Other junior college players who signed with Kansas yesterday are:
Mike Fisher, a 5-10, 180-pound cornerback from Mt. San Antonio Community College. He was his team's captain and a first team Pac-9 all-conference pick last season.
Peda Samuel, a 5-9, 160-pound wide receiver from Independence Community College in Independence, Kan. He played for Cochran at ICC in 1984, but was redshirted last season.
David White, a 6-5, 250-pound defensive end from Hutchinson Community College. White, also recruited by Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Pittsburgh, was named Jayhawk Conference Defensive Player of the Year and was a two-time all-conference pick.
Hinkle, 6-3 and 175 pounds, was listed as one of the top 11 high school quarterbacks last season. An all-league and all-state on the field as a junior and senior at South, Hinkle was also a scholastic All-American with a 4.0 grade point average.
The Jayhawks also received letters from 14 high school players, 10 of whom are from the state of Kansas. Cochran said two of those players, Olathe South defensive back Brad Hinkle and Lawrence offensive lineman Craig Stopel, were two of the best prospects Kansas had to offer.
Stopple, 6-5, 225 pounds, was an all-stater as a senior. He also plans to play baseball at Kansas under head coach Marty Pattin.
*Kelly Donboe, 6-1, 180, quarterback, all-conference and all-state selection last season. He threw 321 complements for 4,524 yards and 35 touchdowns during career at Harrisonville (Mo.) High School. He was recruited by Missouri, Iowa State, Air Force and Colorado.
