Kansas lives up to ranking, drubs Missouri 100-66
Quick beginning lifts Jayhawks to easy victory
By Matt Tidwell

By dominating Missouri 100-66 last night in Allen Field House, the Kansas Jayhawks left their head coach speechless.
Kansas guard Cedric Hunter drives past Missouri forward Derrick Chieveus tor a lay up. Hunter made seven of eight shots from the field and finished last night's game with 16 points.
"I really don't know what to say." Kansas coach Larry Brown said. "I haven't been in this situation too many times before. I don't think we would have lost to many teams tonight."
Kansas center Greg Dreiling put it another way — the Jayhawks' new number three ranking is deserved
"Tonight," Dreiling said, "we sure looked like number three."
The Jayhawks turned in what Brown and many others said was perhaps their best performance of the season.
Kansas started the game by outscoring Missouri 11-2 in the first three and a half minutes. By the finish, the Jayhawks outbounded the Tigers, placed four players in double figures and shot 71 percent as a team.
"I thought everybody played great," Brown said. "Ronnie (Kellogg) did things we've talked about other than scoring, Calvin (Thompson) was phenomenal and

Greg (Dreiling) was great on the boards. I couldn't be prouder. That's as fine a game as we've played."
The Tigers, who were playing their fourth game in ten days, were dazed early and never got closer than seven points. Kansas outscored Missouri 23-10 in the last seven minutes, including one stretch in which the Tigers were held scoreless for over five minutes.
With four minutes left in the game, Brown pulled the last of his starters and let his reserves finish.
Tiger coach Norm Stewart, who enjoyed a near-upset of the Jayhawks in Columbia last month, couldn't find much to stand up and shout about.
"Kansas is a really, really good ballclub and they were excellent tonight," Stewart said. "They got ahead early and they made it hard to play."
Brown said that he was more nervous than usual before the game and that the Tigers' recent schedule — which has included losses against Oklahoma, Nebraska and Virginia — could have played a factor.
"They're a good team," Brown said. "You don't beat a team like that without everybody playing well. Missouri had a tough weekend."
For the fifth straight game, Kansas received balanced scoring. Four Jayhawks scored more than 10 points. Danny Manning led all scorers with 27 points, a season high.
"I like to think that we played like the third-ranked team tonight," Manning said. "We had them on the ropes and we kept them there."
Although there were times when the two teams traded baskets, Kansas dominated the first few minutes of each half. In addition to their 11-2 first half spurt, the Jayhawks outscored Missouri 10-2 in the first three minutes of the second half.

"We thought it was real important to get off the mark early," Brown said. "But I didn't anticipate 11-2. I think that was a real key."
The win improved the Jayhawks' record to 23-3 overall and 8-1 in the Big Eight while Missouri dropped to 17-11 and 4-5.

'Hawks kept Stewart quiet

While Kansas did post a 100-66 win over Missouri last night, there was something missing from the game.
The Missouri head coach was there in person but not in spirit.
Stewart usually has the Jayhawk fans in a frenzy every time he walks into Allen Field House, but that didn't happen last night.
There were a few 'sit down Norm' chants during the pre-game warm up, but after the opening tip off, the traditional chant from the bi-partisan fans disappeared.
Kansas fanatics had to cheer for the Jayhawks instead of against Stewart, who sat calmly in his folding
"There wasn't really much to stand up about," Stewart said after the game."
The fans seemed so stunned by Stewart's inactivity that they begged him to stand up and make one of his traditional appearances in the second half.
Chants of 'stand up Norm, stand up Norm' echoed through the field house after the Jayhawks had built a 19-point lead.
Missouri guard Steve Musser said that since the Tigers got behind so early, they trailed 9-0 after the opening three minutes, there wasn't much Stewart could do.
"It was tough for him," Musser said. "We didn't have much of a chance to win here."
Even though there were no theatrical antics, Stewart did receive a chorus of 'sit down Norm, sit down Norm' from the crowd with 4:10 left in the game and Kansas leading 89-56.
The fans seemed pleased with the Jayhawks 23rd win of the season, but their expectations of a hard fought Kansas-Missouri basketball game went unfulfilled.
Stewart stood up when Tiger center Gary Leonard was fouled by Rodney Hull.

"Missouri has a good inside game with Renee Kelly," Washington said.
The starting time is 7:30 p.m. at Allen Field House.
If the Kansas women's basketball team plays well in both halves of tonight's game against Missouri, they should win, Kansas women's head basketball coach Marian Washington said.

"We need to pound the boards, play great defense and run the floor to win."
Kansas is in a four-way tie for first place with Iowa State, Oklahoma and Colorado. All four have 5-3 records. Missouri is in fifth place with a 4-4 record.
Missouri has beaten Kansas both times the teams have played this season. In the first game, Missouri won 74-19 in Lawrence. In the second game, at Columbia, the Tigers won 77-68.
"The rivalry is enough to ignite any fuel tank," Washington said. "We want to keep in first place.
Kansas is led by forward Vickie
"A lot of teams didn't expect Kansas to be contenders. That's surprising because I can't imagine anyone underestimating us."
She said some people might have thought Kansas wouldn't be good this season because it lost three players to graduation.
"We are now convinced we are able to win," she said. "We are
tough. We beat the top contenders by a good margin.
washington said the team that wins the Big Eight would have to perform consistently. She said her team knows it is in control of its own destiny as long as it keeps winning.
At half time of tonight's game, Adkins will be awarded a plaque from the American Women Sports Federation as player of the Week for her performance against Oklahoma earlier this month. She scored 35 points and had seven rebounds as she led the Jayhawks to an 85-67 upset over then-No.14 Oklahoma.
Also at half time, the Kansas Union Bookstores will be sponsoring a shoot out from half court. Five fans whose program numbers are drawn will have an opportunity to shoot for a 20-inch color television. Everyone who tries to make a half court shot will be given an AM-FM clock-radio.
Also, a task force organized to promote women's and non-revenue
sports will give away gifts. The winners will be determined by a drawing.
They will be giving away two tickets to Florida, a T-shirt, pizza and coke certificates from Pizza Shuttle and a semester of free cable vision from Sunflower CableVision.

Stadium is renamed
OTTAWA — The football stadium at Ottawa High School has been named for quarterback Steve Grogan, the Ottawa native now with the National Football League's New England Patriots.
The school's Cyclone Booster Club proposed two years ago that the stadium be named after
Grogan's performance last year when he replaced starting quarterback Tony Eason in six regular season games and then took over when Eason faltered in the Super Bowl loss to the Chicago Bears spurred renewed efforts to honor him.
Grogan, but a majority of the school board at that time preferred to wait.

High school football players across the nation will ready their pens today to sim colleague letters of intent.

Jayhawk head football coach Bob Valese said Monday that he hoped his 1986 recruiting class would fill offensive and defensive voids left by 14 graduating seniors.
That group will include several high school and junior college players who will sign to play with Kansas.
Valesente said that although Kansas had recruited to restock its cupboard at all positions, Kansas had placed particular emphasis on filling holes in the running and receiving games and the defensive line and secondary.
On the offensive side, All-Big Eight split end Richard Estell heads a list of four seniors and a junior that will leave the Kansas receiving corps. The other players are seniors Sandy McGee and Skip Petee, both of whom
Some football recruits may sign today
oany is the first day high school seniors and junior college transfers can sign with an NCAA Division I team. The Kansas football team has 30 scholarship available. Some of the players who have orally committed to Kansas are:
■ Mike Fisher, comback, 5-10, 187, Mount Sen Antonio Junior College, Calif.
Darryl Golden, defensive lineman, 8-5, 255, Junction City.
**Mike Dinnel, offensive finman, 6-3, 215, Adams Clty, Colo.**

were wide receivers, and tight end Sylvester Byrd. Junior wide receiver Johnnie Holloway has decided to forfeit his remaining year of college eligibility and apply for the 1986 National Football League draft.
Kansas also must replace starting quarterback Mike Norseth and leading rushers Lynn Williams and Arnold Fields.
Norseth threw for 2,995 yards and
Fallstell kick Kansas receivers last season with a school record of 70 catches for 1,109 yards and four touchdowns.
15 touchdowns last season as Kansas led the Big Eight in passing offense. He also threw 175 passes without an interception.
Williams led the Jayhawks in rushing with 373 yards despite playing in only seven of 12 games. Fields gained 336 yards.
Defensively, Kansas will be without the services of defensive cornerstone Willie Pless, an All-Big Eight selection at linebacker. Pless led the Jayhawks with 191 tackles, 110 of which were unassisted.
Valesente declined to comment on how successful this season's recruiting was until after today's signings. He said the recruiting season had gone smoothly considering the shake-up when former head coach Mike Gottfried left to become head coach at the University of Pittsburgh in December.
"From the time when the transition occurred, we had to concentrate on hiring a new staff while keeping the ball moving with recruiting," Valesente said.
