'Hawks gunning for Tigers
By DAVID BOYCE
Staff writer
When the women's basketball team travels to Columbia, Mo., tonight, it will again look to upset the Tigers, a team it beat 74-73 six games ago.
But, the Jayhawks have struggled to be consistent and have not been able to put together a winning streak of more than two games.
Women's Basketball
Kansas beat Big Eight Conference-leading Nebraska 88-74 in Allen Field House on Feb. 4. But, on Saturday, the team lost to Oklahoma State at home, 81-68. In their first meeting, the Jayhawks beat the Cowgirls 67-61 in Stillwater.
Missouri will be Kansas' third opponent in a row that had either sole possession of first place in the Big Eight Conference or shared the lead.
The Jayhawks, 4-5 in the conference and 11-12 overall, will meet the Tigers at 5:45 tonight in Hearnes Center.
Missouri has won their last three games, giving them a 6-3 record and a share of firstplace with Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
"It will be very difficult to beat Missouri at their place," KU coach Marion Washington said. "I think they are back on track."
Missouri's center Renee Kelly has also been on a tear, averaging 29 points the last three games, including a 37-point performance Feb. 3 against Iowa State.
In the first meeting between Kansas and Missouri, KU was able to control Kelly, allowing her only 19 points.
"We did a nice job on her in the first half," Washington said.
Washington said no one player could control Kelly; it would take a combination of at least two players to ston her.
Other players on the team will be helped out the person who is guarding them.
Missouri also has a good outside shooter in Lisa Ellis, Washington said. Ellis did not play the first time the two teams met, but she played Saturday in the Tigers' game against Oklahoma and scored six points.
To offset the scoring punch of Kelly and Ellis, Washington said the team needed more offensive from certain players whose scores averages were
"We didn't get the balanced scoring we usually got," she said of the team. "We can't play that well."
Five players scored in double figures in that game, but their shooting percentage was only 38.4 percent for the game.
In the first game against Missouri on Jan. 21, four Jayhawk players scored in double figures, shooting 50 percent from the field.
The high scorers for Kansas in the first matchup were Lisa Dougherty with 16 and Sandy Shaw with 14, a season high for Shaw.
Shaw equaled that season high in Saturday's loss to Alabama State.
Besides wanting a balanced scoring attack, Washington said the team also needed to rebound well against be Tigers.

Parade in New York greets Cup winners
United Press International
NEW YORK — The skipper and crew of the America's Cup champion Stars & Stripes sailed up the queen of avenues yesterday in a stiff wind that failed to chill the enthusiasm of 100,000 spectators.
Riding on the crest of a weeklong high that included a visit to the White House on Monday, skipped Dennis Conner gave a thumbs-up sign to cheering spectators from atop a Statue of Liberty float.
Following close behind was a look-alike of the victorious Stars & Stripes on a flat-bed truck.
Contetti and paper strips rained on the parade, and office workers pressured their noses against windows along the route up Fifth Avenue.
A large contingent of police officers kept overly enthusiastic fans behind barricades, and no arrests were detained. Many shivered in a cold wind.
The Stars & Stripe sweptook Koo-kaburra III 4-0 last week on the Indian Ocean and the American Coast. Conner and a close friend organizer Donald Trump, a close friend who
Police officials estimated that 100,000 spectators turned out, a far cry from the millions who have turned out for other celebrations.
agreed to foot the parade bill, were joined aboard the fast-moving float by Mayor Edward Koch and San Diego Mayor Maureen O'Connor.
Conner is a member of the San Diego Yacht Club, and that city officially has possession of the trophy, which was housed at the New York Yacht Club until Conner lost it to the Australians in 1983.
In front of the manmoth Trump
Tower, Koch presented keys to the
house.
The city's Sanitation Department says it had nothing to compare the pardon.
"This route has never been used
by us, but we extend O'Leary,
a department upkeeper."
It was a shortened version of most parades up Fifth Avenue that usually last for hours and move up farther north. Yesterday's parade took just under an hour and moved from 43rd Street to 56th Street.
Mart Warburton, an Australian exchange student from Sydney, waved the Aussie flag from behind a barrier and said the event should have been held in Sydney. Asked why, Warburton said, "Because we should have won."
