10 Monday, February 2. 1987 / University Daily Kansar *Monday Sports Extra* Jayhawks maintain poise survive rally by Cardinals to post 15th victory 62-58 Staff writer By ROB KNAPP The Kansas Jayhawks probably will not have a better chance to fold under pressure this season. The Jayhawks were on the road playing the defending national champions, and the Louisville Cardinals were rallying. The Cardinals, trailing 39-27 early in the second half, suddenly got hot. They outscored Kansas 16-2 and took a jump shot by forward Herbert Crock. Starting Kansas center Mark Pellock watched the game from the bench. His nose was broken early in the game when he was hit with an elbow by Louisville center Pervis Ellison Danny Manning, the Jayhawks' leading scorer, was lost somewhere in the middle of a vicious Louisville 1-1-3 zone. Manning had only three attempts and two points in the first half. The Kansas end of the floor appeared ready to produce choking sounds audible throughout Freedom Park, and 19,428 screaming Louisville fans. The Jayhawks didn't lose their composure, though, even when the Cardinals took a three-point advantage. Led by freshmen Keith Harris and Kevin Pritchard and supported by several old-timers, Kansas came back and then held on for a 62-58 victory. "Thank God some of our young people came through," Kansas coach Larry Brown said. "I feel very fortunate that we won." What may have come through more than any individual performance was the Jayhawks' ability as a team to handle pressure on the road. Despite losing Pellock 90 seconds into the game, Kansas, now 15-5, moved into the early lead on the inside work of Harris and Pritchard's Men's Basketball outside shooting. The Jayhawks led 27-23 at the half. Louisville's outside shooting went cold at the beginning of the second half, and Kansas looked as if it would break the game open. A baseline jump shot by Chris Piper gave the Jayhawks a 39-27 lead. Then Louisville, which dropped to 10-10 for the season, went on its own Kansas 62 Louisville 58 Kansas | | M | FG | FT | F4 | R | A | F | TP | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Piper | 31 | 1-5 | 1-8 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 6 | | Nanning | 40 | 1-8 | 2-4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Planning | 2 | 0-2 | 2-0 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 1 | 8 | | Hunter | 39 | 4-7 | 0-0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 8 | 1 | | Pritchard | 27 | 6-11 | 0-2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 14 | 2 | | Turgenoe | 11 | 1-2 | 0-1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 | | Huron | 11 | 1-3 | 0-1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 | | Randall | 4 | 1-1 | 0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Harris | 30 | 6-14 | 0-5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 15 | | Harris | 5 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Guiderow | 2 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | Totals | 24-58 | 12-17 | 12-17 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 15 | 62 | Percentages: PG=10, FG=4. point goals: 2-7 (Pritchard 2-5) Blocked Shots: 1 (Pritchard) Turnovers: 16 (Manning 4) Steals: 10 (Pritchard) Technicals: None.

The Jayhawks beat Oklahoma State 5-4 in the finals of the Region Five Team Indoor Playoffs on Saturday in Oklahoma City. Kansas will now advance to the ITCA Team Indoor Championships at Louisville Feb. 19-22. The victory was the first for a Kansas team over traditional tennis "The feeling amongst everybody "I well, I can't even describe it," is perhap so, and said it was perhap the biggest week for Kansas tennis in recent years. power Oklahoma State in Perelman's five years as coach of the Jayhawks. In addition, this is the first time a Kansas squad has ever qualified for a national team championship, Perelman said. No. 1 singles player Mike Wolf led the Jayhawks, defeating Stephan Salthouse of Wichita State 6-2, 6-3 and Robin Scott of Oklahoma State 7-5, 6-0. He teamed up with doubles partner Craig Wildey for two more victories "It may be 20 years since we've beaten OSU," Perelman said. "I finals by beating another regional tennis power, Wichita State, 6-3 on Friday. Freshmen Wildey and Chris Walker and senior Larry Pascal each won their singles matches in both the WSU and OSU matches. Kansas moved into the regional The doubles team of Walker and sophomore Jim Secrest added a win As Region Five champions, Kansas will be one of 20 teams to compete at the national tournament. The Jayhawks' first match will be against Kentucky, a team ranked among the country's top 15. against Wichita State. Perelman said he thought the victories would mean a top 25 ranking for the Javahawks. "If we could win one or two tournament matches, we could move up into the top 20 teams." Perelman said. "We should us as the top team in the region." Jayhawks win last home dual over Cyclones But the Kansas men's team, led by senior Chris McCool and sophomore Bobby Kelley, were able to narrowly beat Michigan 66 to Saturday in Robinson Natorium. By DAVID BOYCE Staff writer On paper, Iowa State's men's swimming team should have beaten the Javahaws. Entering the next to last event, the men's team needed at least a second-place finish by Kelley in the 200-yard breast stroke to win the meet. "Going into the meet, if you looked at Iowa State's times against ours, they would have won," Coach Gary Kemfort said. "We knew it was close," Kempf said, "Bobby had to take second and he did, and I was proud of him and our team." The Jayhawks defeated a team with times as good or better than their own. Kempf said that the good players in the team appreciate the victory even more. Iowa State has a very good program," he said. "I have a lot of respect for their program, that's why I'm pleased with our victory." Swimming Both the men's and women's teams were competing in their last home meet of the season. The women's team won easily over the Cyclones 64-39, improving their record to 4-1 in dual competition. The men raised their dual record to 3-4. "After we lost our first four meets to top 20 teams, people were writing us off, but the team has shown a lot of character." Kemfu said. "We have a great group of seniors," he said. "They have shown leadership both in and out of the water." Part of that character came from the senior leadership on the team, Kempf said. Five senior swimmers and one diver on the men's team swam in their last home meet of their careers. In tribute to the senior women swimmers, Kempf altered his usual 400-yard freestyle relay team and taught him how the five seniors to swim as a swim "She is a fine example of what our program stands for," Kempf said. She came in as a walk-on and now she is one of the best sprinters around." The team of Marcie Herrold, Becky Heil, Taryn Gaulien and Liz Duncan placed first in the 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 3:41.73. Duncan captured three first places, including the relay victory. Duncan placed first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.15 and also took first in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 52.33. Sophomore Glenn Trammel was also a double winner, taking first in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:55.60 and in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:53.63. He jumped by more than 1 second in each event. McCool won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 47.39. "Chris' times were slower than his opponents all year, but he came in third." Susan Bloomfield placed first in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2.12.34, even though she is one of four who still recover from mononucleosis. Kempf said he was especially proud of the performance because he had not prepared them specifically for this meet. Their ultimate goal was to perform well in the Big Eight Conference meet March 5-7 in Lincoln. Neb. "By then we will be ready for anybody." he said. Kansas' next competition will be Feb. 14 against Nebraska and Northwestern in Lincoln. Olympian returns after two injuries Bv DIANE FILIPOWSKI Crass, a 1984 Olympic, competed in the Missouri Valley Weight Lifting Championships at Kelowna Sports Pavilion on Saturday. When Derrick Crass is on the platform competing, his eyes are intense and piercing as he looks into the crowd. Staff writer "I don't see anything," Grass said, "I picture the position I have to attain to make the lift." The meet, sponsored by the University of Kansas athletic speed-strength department, included 44 competitors ranging from 10 to 43 years in age and two women. day sponsored by the letic During his first lift at the Olympics, Crass ruptured ligaments in his knee and elbow. The injury was a disappointment, he said, especially since a best performance he have earned him a bronze medal. Derrik Crass, 26, from Belleville, Ill. Ill. won the 178-pound weight division and the best heavyweight lift award at the meet. He finished first with lifts of $291\frac{1}{2}$ pounds in the snatch and 374 pounds in the clean and jerk. But Crass said his performance Saturday gave him some confidence and now he might be on his way back up in the ranks. Saturday's meet was the first competition for Crass since he injured himself in the 1984 Olympics. "When I started lifting again, I didn't have any specific goals." Crass said. "I wanted to be able to lift, but I might not be able to compete again." Spectators said they were amazed with Crass' lifting ability, but they also could not help but noticing his large legs. "They are a pain when I go to clothes stores because have to have my pants tailored." Claress said. "But I am glad I have them which are the basis of support in lifting. It's not just your upper body." Brent Hudson, Weston, Mo. senior, and KU assistant speed- strength coach, said technique, most of which involved the legs, was very important in weightlifting. "The slightest deviation in technique can throw the whole lift off," Hudson said. "If you do the technician, it makes the whole lift feel light." Five of the students qualified for the United States Weightifting Federation National College Championships March 19-21 at Johnson County Community College. Qualifiers included: Ron Bahm, who won the 198-pound class with a combined snatch, and clean and jerk total of 539 pounds; Vince Labosky, who finished second in the same weight class; Tom Hanneman, who won the 220-pound weight class with a combined lift of 528-pounds; and Glen Howard and Mike Gattone, who finished second and third, respectively, in that division. Hudson finished second in the 242-pound weight loss with a 198-pound lift in the snatch and a 253-pound lift in the clean and jerk. "Lifting can be frustrating at times because it takes so much concentration," Hudson said after his third miss at 203 pounds in the snatch lift. "It's like that bar is trying to beat you and it becomes very personal. I have nightmares about it." Eight KU students competed on the KU team, which finished first in the team competition. 6 Tiger players suspended 1 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Six Missouri football players charged with telephone fraud have been suspended from the team for the semester, and another charged with a campus theft.
