'Hawks can't finish rally; lose to ISU
Hornacek hits in clutch free throws to hold off charge
The Associated Press
AMES. Iowa — Jeff Hornacek sank six free throws in the final minute to help Iowa State hold off Kansas and upset the fourth-ranked Jayhawks 77-74 in Big Eight Conference basketball last night.
Iowa State had missed nine of 10 free throws and Kansas had whittled a 10-point Cyclone lead to one before Hornacock nailed his shots to give his team its 13th straight victory at home.
The Cyclones hiked their record to 13-6 overall and 4-2 in the Big Eight, while Kansas fell to 19-3 and 4-1. The Jayhawks' only other losses were to second-ranked Memphis State in overtime and third-ranked Duke.
Hornace sank two free throws with 59 seconds left to give Iowa State a 73-70 lead and made two more at the 0:27 mark to make it 75-70. Cedric Hunter hit a jump shot for Kansas to cut the lead to 75-72 with 23 seconds to go, but Hornace canned two more free throws two seconds later for a
77-72 Iowa State advantage.
Ron Kellogg scored Kansas' final basket with :13 remaining and Iowa State then ran out the clock.
"Hornacek was clutch when it counted," he said.
Kansas head coach Larry Brown said Hornacek made the difference at the end of the game.
Jeff Grayer led Iowa State with 19 points, Sam Hill scored 17 and Horneck finished with 16 along with 12 assists. Danny Manning, who sparked Kansas 'late comeback, topped the Jayhawks with 26 points, Greg Drrell added 14, Kellogg had 12 and Calvin Thompson 10.
Brown said the Cyclones were tough on their home court.
"Iowa State played great," Brown said. "They got the free throws when they had to. We were well rested, we just came up here and beat."
7-2 spartan at the end of the first half gave Iowa State a 36-13 lead at
intermission. Then Grayer and reserve David Moss each scored two baskets in a 10-2 run that put the Cyclones ahead 64-54 with 7:32 left.
Kansas began chipping away at the lead as Iowa State missed nine consecutive free throws and trailed only 71-70 after Thompson hit a jump shot from the baseline with 1:44 remaining. However, Thompson missed a long jumper from the corner moments later when Kansas had a chance to take the lead and Hornacek began his free-throw string.

Grid coach named; KU staff complete
By a Kansan sports writer
Kansas head football coach Bob Vailesen named Mike Mahoney as defensive line coach yesterday.
Mahoney, 34, has spent the past five years as assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Murray State University.
Valesente said the appointment completed his coaching staff, developed in the past two months and named to succeed Mike Gettrief.
"Mike Mahoney is an enthusiastic coach who brings a wealth of knowledge to our football program," Valesente said. "His addition completes what I feel is an excellent coaching staff."
Under Mahoney's direction, the Murray State defense ranked high in NCAA Division I-AA statistics. The 1985 Racer defense forced 33 turnovers, including 10 blocked kicks. The 1984 defense set a school record and ranked second nationally in interceptions, with 26.
"I'm glad to be here," Mahoney said. "I wasn't really looking for a job because I had a good one."
Mahoney said he came to Kansas last week and was offered the position by Valesente on Friday.
In addition to his five seasons at Murray State, Mahoney also coached defensive line and special teams for one season at William and Mary College in 1980.
A native of Uxbridge, Mass., Mahoney spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach on the staff with Valesente at the University of Arizona. He is a 1974 graduate of Southern Connecticut State College.
Mahoney is the seventh new member of the Jayhawk staff. He joins Paul Alt, Jan Quarless, Robert Ford, Louis West, Jim Cochran and Dave Dunkelberger as new members of the staff. Mike Monos, George Warhop and Joe Pannunzi were retained from Gottfried's staff.
'Hawks seek comfort of Allen Field House
By Jim Suhr Sports writer
After playing eight of their first four Big Eight games on the road, the Kansas women's basketball team will return home to face Colorado at 7:30 tonight at Allen Field House.
Although Marian Washington, Kansas' head coach, said yesterday that she was happy the Jayhawks would finally land in their comfortable nest, the Buffaloes must wish the trip to Kansas was one they didn't have to make.
Kansas, off to their best start since the 1980-81 season, is 12-5 overall and 3-1 in the conference. You enter the

"It's so much more comfortable to be home again." Washington said. "With the officiating and hostile crowds the way they are on the road, you have to be a 10-point better ball club to win. It's nice to return to a positive environment."
"We have to really focus on Colorado tonight," she said. "They are the only club to upset Oklahoma (Colorado's only Big Eight win), so they are unpredictable but capable. That's the kind of club that has always bothered me."
Against the Buffaloes, Washington said, Kansas must limit its turnovers, a problem that plagued the
Even with the win advantage, Washington said the game against Colorado, 11-6 and 1-3, would be the most important game yet for the Jayhawks. She said a win over Colorado would boost Kansas' confidence level in time for Saturday's showdown with No. 14 Oklahoma.
Jayhawks in their recent games against Missouri and Kansas State
Colorado, she said, was a team that could capitalize on turnovers through their passing.
Washington said the Jayhawks would key specifically on guards Bridget Turner and Erin Carson and center LeaAnn Banks.
Washington said she considered Turner, one of three freshman starters for the Buffaloes, the team's most important player because of her ability to control her team's offense.
"She keeps her team stable and runs the offense effectively," she said
Kansas will also attempt to shut down Carson, who averages 13.6 points per game, and Banks, who averages 11.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
Twenty program numbers will be called before halftime. Fans with those numbers will attempt a half-court shot during halftime for the color television.
The promotion, sponsored by KU Bookstores, is an attempt to boost fan support and interest for the women's basketball program.

Tigers top Colorado by 16
Chievous scored 12 and sophomore guard Lynn Hardy added 10 in the half. Mike Sandbothe had five of nine first-half steals for Missouri and finished with six steals to tie four other Tigers for the school's single-game
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Jeff Strong scored 23 points and Derrick Chievous added 17 as Missouri posted an 83-6 Big Eight Conference basketball victory last night over Colorado.
The Buffaloes, who fell to 8-10 overall and remained winless in the Big Eight after five conference games, never came closer than 12 points in the second half.
The Tigers, 17-7 overall and 4-2 in the conference, dominated the opening period and raced to a 48-33 halftime lead on scoring bursts of 15-2 and 13-2 midway through the half.
Swedes fit into tennis team's plans

Last month KU tennis coach Scott Perelman began a search to fill two scholarship openings on the women's team.
He had hoped to find two players who would step in and contribute in this spring's Big Eight race.
Pere尔 called the Swedish Tennis Association and found two women who would fill the missing openings in his team's incomplete puzzle.
What he discovered were freshmen Jeanette Johnsson and Marie Ericksson, two Swedes who were more than happy to complete his picture.
So far, Perelman likes what he sees.
He said that Johnsson, now Kansas' No. 1 women's seed, and Erickson, the No. 6 seed, have added a new dimension and strength to his team.
"The girls on the team previously have been together for years. Jenetane and Marie have now added new blood and life to this team." Perelman said. "They are good girls who mix well with the group."
In their first competition in the United States last weekend, Johnsson and Erickson won two matches each against Illinois State and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville at Normal, Ill.
Although Kansas won both matches, Perelman said the outcome might have been different without the performances of the Swedes.
"It could have been a toss-up without them. Anytime you add a No. 1 seed and a No. 6 seed to your team, you're stronger than before," he said. "They are so competitive — they play to win."
Johnsson and Ericksson came to Kansas because of the strict regulations of Swedish collegiate athletics.
Gymnasium graduates, the American equivalent of high school graduates, may enter universities, but the rigid academic requirements and intense competition with other students make involvement in sports at the university level impossible.
The opportunity to play tennis at Kansas, Erickson said, was an opportunity neither of them could pass up.
"If we stayed at home, we'd have to go to the university and couldn't
Recruiting troubles hit preps

Recruiting activities by college booster clubs have been sharply curtailed in the past few years because boosters have become too involved in the recruiting process, Gary Hunter, Kansas assistant athletic director said yesterday.
The problem of boosters offering inducements to recruits has filtered down to high school sports, where no recruiting is allowed.
play tennis," she said. "There are many Swedish players like us who come over here because they can't play at the universities."
against the school.
The KHSSAA is continuing an investigation into possible sanctions
Kapaun-Mt. Carmel voluntarily suspended three students — two basketball players and a track athlete — and the basketball coach after discovering the violation.
Johnson said the STA notified her of the opportunity to attend Kansas on a tennis scholarship after she graduated from gymnasium. Ericksson, who was a gymnasium senior, accompanied Johnson with permission of the STA. Both women arrived at Kansas Jan. 9.
The membership of Wichita's Kapaun-Mt. Carmel High School in the Kansas State High School Activities Association is in jeopardy after the private school's booster club paid the tuition of three student athletes, KSHSAA announced last week.
Hunter said high schools were not allowed to recruit players. Colleges must recruit, he said, but it was the same kind of overzealousness by athletic boosters that caused the National Collegiate Athletic Association to sharply restrict booster involvement.
"Legislation has been passed in the past few years that has practically eliminated all booster involvement with recruiting," Hunter said. "Now, all they (boosters) can do is write letters and make phone calls to recruits. There can be no face-to-face contact."
Hunter said that in the Kapaun case, the fact that the players were openly recruited goes against the philosophy of preparatory school sports.
"It's absolutely nothing but an inducement," Hunter said of the tuition payments. "I think when that happens you're losing sight of the purpose of high school athletics — to
field a team that is representative of your city or area."
Hunter said that although he never had much involvement in high school sports administration, he had always heard rumors of recruiting by private schools.
Jim Cochran, Kansas football recruiting coordinator and a former high school coach, said that accusations of recruiting are often leveled at private high schools and that the Kapaun case was the only time he had ever seen proof of high school recruiting.
"Whenever a private school does well you always get people who say they recruit," Cochran said. "If that situation (Kapaun's) is an isolated case, then I really don't think you have a problem."
Cochran said this was the first time he had heard of a high school booster club that had given inducements to student-athletes, and that the majority of the clubs worked to help schools raise money.
Chief's Lanier and 4 others named to Hall
United Press International
RICHMOND, Va. — Willie Lanier, nicknamed "Contact" because of his tackling style, yesterday was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Lanier, 40, a native of Clover who was reared in Richmond, spurred the Chiefs' defense over favored Minnesota in Super Bowl IV. He became the starting middle linebacker in his fourth game and did not relinquish that spot until the last three weeks of his career.
Lanier was a second-round selection of the Chiefs in 1967.
Joining Lanier as 1986 inductees are running back Paul Hornung, defensive back Ken Houston, quarterback Fran Tarkenton and running back Dook Walker.
Barry improves confidence. skills as JV

His father, Rick, played professional basketball for both the ABA and National Basketball Association and is the only player to lead both leagues in scoring.
As a guard on the men's junior varsity team, Scooter Barry has followed in their footsteps.
His grandfather, Bruce Hale, was a coach for the Oakland Oaks of the American Basketball Association in the 1960s.
As long as Richard "Scooter" Burry can remember, basketball has been a predominant interest in his life.
Rick Barry critiqued his son's basketball skills during the 86-76 Kansas loss. He 'said his son understood the game but needed to
work on his ball handling.
Scooter Barry, who is 6-foot-2, was all an-aural athlete at DeLaSalle High School in Oakland, Calif. He played basketball and ran cross country and track. He was named to an all-league track team as a high iumpier his senior year.
"I liked to play all sports up until that point," Barry said. "Then my dad told me that to make it, I had to isolate a sport to become the best."
"Scooter needs to control the ball like an extension of his body," Rick Barry said.
It was not until his senior year of high school that Barry got serious about basketball.
For the junior varsity team, Barry has been a consistent lead scorer and rebounder. His high scoring game was 20 points against Seward County.
R. C. Buford, coach of the junior varsity team, said Barry was a team leader.
"He is easy to coach and willing to learn," Buford said, "which shows in his progress."
In terms of eligibility, Barry is a
freshman, but academically, he is a sophomore. He was redshirted last year.
Barry said he thought being red-shirted helped him in the long run.
Barry considered going to Stanford during his senior year in high school. But he chose Kansas because Stanford wanted him to be a walk-on for the team.
"It helped me overall," Barry said,
because it let me see how I can fit in
between the two sets of seats.
At $14,000 a semester, Barry said,
he did not want to take a chance of
being cut.
"I made a late visit to Kansas in the summer," Barry said. "It was not the stereotype of flat land with brick houses."
Barry said he thought that he recently had not played to his own high standards.
"Maybe I am growing," Barry said. "My dad grew four inches in college. I am hoping I'm a late bloomer. If I do grow, it can do nothing but help me. Height would definitely be an advantage."
Scooter Barry, one of the leaders of the Kansas junior varsity team, yelled instructions during Monday's game.
