Softball team heads south

The Kansas women's softball team will measure the success of this season's spring break trip in terms of improvement, not victories.
Last season the Jayhaws made impressive showings at two early tournaments and climbed in the national rankings. Their early success produced high expectations and may have put extra pressure on the team. Coach Bob Stanclift said.
Kansas, 2.2 and ranked 19th in the country in the latest coaches' poll, begins play today at the Sooner Invitational in Norman, Okla. The Jayhawks will play three games in Texas next week and move on to the Houston Invitational.
"We're not going down there with the goal of winning each tournament." Stancliff said. "Our goal is to
get better each day."
Kansas will have to improve against some stiff competition. The Jayhawks will face no fewer than three top 20 teams this week and will play several other strong squads.
Kansas will begin play today in Norman in a bracket with Illinois State, Creighton, Indiana Oklahoma City and Texas-Arlington.
Creighton is ranked eighth in the country, and Illinois State is 18th. Indiana, though unranked this season, finished third at the NCAA College World Series last year, and Oklahoma City was the NAIA runner-up last season.
The Jayhawks will play three games today and two tomorrow. The top three teams in the bracket will advance to the championship round on Saturday.
Stanclift said winning some games
wouldn't necessarily be bad, even if it does mean added pressure.
"If we do well it will carry some
through the rest of the
surprise."
After the tournament, Kansas will travel to Texas to play a single game with Texas-Arlington on Monday and a double-header with third-ranked Texas A & M on Tuesday.
Stephen F. Austin is in its first season of NCAA Division I play after winning the Division II championship last season.
On March 19 the Jayhawks will open the Houston tournament, which includes five other top 20 teams in its field. Kansas' bracket will include Texas A & M, Colorado State and Stephen F. Austin.
Stancilf said he would be starting several different players at second base, third base and right field.
Wildcat coach calls game close
United Press International
SALT LAKE CITY — Coach Lon Kruger says the Kansas State Wildcats' opening-round game today against the Georgia Bulldogs in the NCAA Western Regional could be too close to call.
"They don't have the real big guy inside and it appears that we match up pretty evenly across the board," Kruger said. "We know that they have an outstanding program and I'm sure it will be an awfully tough first-round game."
Kansas State, 19, 10; tests off against Georgia, 18-11, in a game set for 1:07 p.m. today at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Both teams are 3-3
in their most recent games.
Kruger said the Wildcats, who arrived in Salt Lake City early yesterday and practiced at 2 p.m. he would play with the NCAA's elite
"I'm pleased that the young men are going to have a chance to play in the NCAA tournament. It's a big step
"I think we're playing as well right now as we have all year. In the last two weeks we have matured as a ball club."
— something that they worked hard for and something they deserve.
"We would love to play Nevada-Las Vegas," Kruger said. "That's because it would mean we would have won our first-round game. We haven't given too much thought to Vegas, but we know that it would be a good opportunity."
Although Norris Coleman, the Big Eight's newcomer of the year in 1986, has averaged 21.5 points and eight rebounds per game this season, things have not gooe smoothly in recent games. But Coleman said he intended to rise to the occasion.
The winner of the Kansas State Georgia game will meet the winner of the game between No. 1 Nevada
"This is an opportunity that every team hopes for," he said.
Las Vegas, 33-1, and Idaho State, 15-1
KU recruit named to West team
United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — Mike Maddox, who signed an early letter of intent to play at the University of Kansas, yesterday was named to the 25-man roster of the McDonald's All-America high school basketball team.
Maddox, a 6-foot-8 forward from Putum City North High School in Oklahoma City, averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds this season and will play on the West squad.
The West squad meets the East team in the 10th annual All-America game, set for April 12 at the Species Game. The West and East trails the West 5-4 in the series.
Dennis Scott, a 6-4 forward who averaged 22 points and 12 rebounds at Flint Hill College Prep in Fallsville, will lead the 13-member East队.
Leading the West will be Marcus Liberty, a 6-8 forward at Martin Luther King High School in Chicago, who averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds this season.
The team was chosen by a selection committee made up of high school coaches and headed by Morgan Wooten, coach of DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Md. The picks were reviewed by an advisory committee led by former UCLA coach John Wooden.

Continued from p. 11
Heading into the NCAA tournament, Manning has averaged 23.7 points and 9.7 rebounds a game this season. Over the final 20 games of the season, he averaged 26.3 points a game and hit 211 of 326 shots, 64.7 percent. Manning was one of only two unanimous choices March 2 for the all-Big Eight first team, joining Iowa State's Jeff Grayer.
I've never seen anyone like him. He's unique at his size to do the things he does. And, as he gets physically stronger, he'll be able to do even more things.'
— Larry Brown Kansas basketball coach
A recent vote of Kansas fans established Manning as one of the top five players ever to wear a Jayhawks uniform, even though he was a write-in candidate.
He was also the clear choice of the
league's coaches when asked what one player in the league around whom they would like to build a team.
"He is just as good a player as I've seen in a long time," said Kruger, now the coach at Kansas State. "He's a great person and has such outstanding instincts to go along with everything else."
"I've never seen anyone like him," Coach Larry Brown said. "He's unique at his size to do the things he does. And, as he gets physically stronger, he'll be able to do even more things."
Manning and the Jayhawks, 23-10, will start NCAA tournament play tomorrow against Houston, 18-11. The trip will be the third for Manning, who has led the Jayhawks to an 84-22 overall mark since he joined the team in the fall of 1984.
"He's a great kid. He's just a hell of a
"beamer for us and basket-
ball."
Oklahoma State Coach Leonard Hamilton believes Manning's worth cannot be measured just from his statistics.
"Danny has the ability to make people around him play better, not only to just be a superstar and produce the big numbers," Hamilton said. "He can do more for his team and make the players around him play better."
