Sports Thursday, Jan. 30, 1986 University Daily Kansan 13 Colorado upsets Jayhawks KU's 10-game home winning streak meets abrupt end KU's 10-game home winning streak meets abrupt Bv Jim Suhr sports writer Colorado outscored the Kansas women's basketball team 9-2 in the final four minutes to surge the Buffaloes past the Jayhawks 56-49 last night at Allen Field House. The loss, which snapped Kansas' 10-game home winning streak, dropped the Jayhawks to 12-6 overall and 3-2 in the Big Eight. Colorado ended a three game skid and rose to 12-7 and 2-3. Toni Webl led the Jahayh scoring with 12 points, while Vickie Adkins and Lisa Dougherty added 10 apiece. Colorado's Tracy Tripp led all scorers with 16 points. Kansas trailed by as many as nine in the first half before closing the gap to four at halftime. 26-22. Colorado jumped out early in the second half, outscoring the Jayhawks 9-4 and increasing its lead to eight, 34-26. But the Jayhawks stormed back, scoring 11 unanswered points to regain the lead, 37-36. The lead seesawed back and forth eight times before two free throws by Colorado guard Bridget Turner started an 9-2 spurt that put the Buffaloes ahead for good. Kansas head coach Marian Washington said that she thought the Jayhawks could have overtaken Colorado after its rally, as they did in their game last Saturday at Kansas State, where the Jayhawks won 69-66. But Kansas' poor shooting thwarted last night's rally, Washington said. "I've never seen two halves where the shooting was so bad," Washington said of the Jayhawk team that shot only 29.9 percent for the game. "We shot cold all night. Nothing would fall for us." She said Colorado used a rebounding advantage to capitalize on its outside shooting. The Buffaloes only shot 35 percent from the field but outrebounded Kansas S-42-4. "We gave them two or three shots, and they took advantage of it," she said. "They played inspired basketball, and when you play against a team that does that, it's rough." Washington said Kansas must concentrate on forgetting last night's setback and focus on Saturday's showdown with No. 14 Oklahoma at Allen Field House.

'Hawks practice after hours Bv Dawn O'Mallev Sports writer After Allen Field House had cleared of the fans, and the score board no longer held the telltale sign of the Kansas women's basketball team's 56-49 loss to Colorado, head coach Marian Washington led a late-night practice. It was the Jayhawk's first home loss in ten games. Washington's practice was similar to one conducted by Kansas men's head basketball coach Larry Brown on Dec. 3, 1985, after the Southern Illinois-Edwardsville game at the field house. "We were cold. There was terrible shooting," Washington said. "We couldn't get anything done. We couldn't get a lead. Colorado outrebounded the Javahawk 52-43. "We played uninspired basketball. The team gave up too many rebounds." Forward Vickie Adkins said it was the first time Washington had ever had practice after a game. bad " Washington said.

The team's player representative said the disclosure doems its voluntary testing plan and could lead to a strike. "A terrible injustice has been done with the naming of the alleged players," Brian Holloway, the Patriot's union representative, said. "The idea that those names have come out does not mean that they have used drugs." The Boston Globe reported yesterday that Raymond Clayborn, Tony Collins, Irving Fryar, Roland James, Kenneth Sims and Stephen Starring admitted to head coach Raymond Berry they had used drugs. After losing the Super Bowl 46-10 to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, the Patriots voted Monday morning in New Orleans to become the first team to institute voluntary drug testing. "Some of those guys have been in a rehabilitation program and they're not on drugs any more." General Manager Patrick Sullivan From staff and wire reports. Mitchell thinks team but excels in individual events By Matt Tidwell Don't tell Raymond Mitchell, Kansas track co-captain, that track and field is an individual sport. Sports writer Mitchell excels in individual events, such as the long jump and triple jump, but the Anchorage, Alaska, junior said he placed a high priority on team goals. "Ray is a great team man," head coach Bob Timmons said Tuesday. "He's very definitely interested in his teammates." And even though others may set "realistic" goals for the team's season, Mitchell huddled with his teammate and decided that the Jayhawks would aim high this season. "We talked together as teammates, and we know we've got a good team," Mitchell said. "We don't see what other teams have, but we know Mitchell brought impressive numbers from Southern Idaho Junior College, including a 7-2/4 inch mark in the high jump. He also ran the 100-meter dash in 10.47 seconds and had a 24-2 mark in the long jump. we have quality people. That's why I really believe we can be in the top two or three places in the Big Eight this year." MITCHELL PROFILE Last year, Mitchell became the top Big Eight American in the long jump and qualified for the outdoor national last season by leaping 26-34, the eighth best mark in the country. "During my two years in junior college I had a lot of scholarship offers," Mitchell said. "I decided that Nebraska would be my top choice but when I came to Kansas they really rolled out the red carpet. I was impressed with the program and I was really impresses that it was a four-star university, which was very important to me."

"He definitely wants to perform well and he's always thinking at a high level," Timmons said. "He's Mitchell said outside activities, like being president of the KU Fellowship of Christian Athletes, help to keep him from constantly thinking of track. Mitchell said that with Attig's help his long-jump technique had greatly improved. Mitchell came to Kansas primarily as a high jumper but, working closely with assistant track coach Rick Attig, he switched to the long and triple jumps as his events. "I know my speed is there," he said. "It's my technique I'm working on now. Sometimes I run down and I hit it and it's perfect. It's like I'm not really even thinking about it; it's like I'm walking on air or something." "The long jump is really a new event for me." Mitchell said. "A lot of people think you just run and jump but it's much more technical than that. They are mental aspects to it and if you get those it's easier." Attig said, "The long jump is the type of event that has a lot to do with your mental framework. Sometimes an intense individual like Ray focuses on things that won't let them Mitchell said that ultimately he would like to become a world-class athlete and compete in the 1988 Olympics. relax. it's the kind of event where if you think so much about jumping, you don't jump as well." "I'm nowhere near my peak," he said. "I'm improving each year as a person and as an athlete. "I have a pact with my parents that after I graduate in May of 1987, I'll train full-time for a little meet in 1988. And I think we all know what that is." As for the near future, Mitchell said he had no definite mark in mind. "I don't like to give numbers because I'm superstitious about that," he said. "I have a good idea of what my personal goals are, but right now I just want to contribute to the team." 12
