University Daily Kansan / Thursday, January 14, 1988 Sports 13 Tigers spoil Jayhawks' Big 8 opener Lisa Dougherty, left, and Sandy Shaw, right, guard Missouri's Monique Lucas during the second half. Kansas lost to the Tigers 72-67. By Keith Stroker Kansan sports writer When Missouri guard Sandie Prophete hit two free throws with 25 seconds remaining, the Kansas women's basketball team saw its 10-game home winning streak come to an end. The Tigers' 72-67 victory over the Jahayhaws spoiled Kansas' Big Eight opener. In addition to Propete's clutch shooting, Missouri center Tracy Ellies' game-high 22 rebounds also contributed to the Jahawhaks defeat. Kansas' last home defeat came in February to Oklahoma State, 81-68. The disappointing outcome overshadowed the accomplishment of senior forward Lisa Dougherty, who at the 9:45 mark of the second half, hit a 12-foot jump player and became only the seventh player in Kansas history to score 1,000 points in her career. The all-time scoring leader for Kansas is Lynette Woodard, with 3,649 points. "It hasn't sunk in yet," said Dougherty about the accomplishment. "It is nice to reach that goal, but it would have been a lot nicer if we would have won." Coach Marian Washington said that there were three things that keyed the loss for Kansas: rebounding, missed free throws, and missed open layups. She said that Missouri played an outstanding game. "We missed too many opportunities that should have been ours." Washington said. "I wasn't pleased with our physical effort and I felt we didn't show much poise in the final 15 to 20 seconds." The teams played better and battled back and forth in in the second half. The Jayhawks had a chance to tie the game in the final 15 seconds, but a missed three-pointer by Dougherty and losing the ball out of bounds hurt their chances. Tracy Ellis closed out the scoring by hitting a layup with 5 seconds to play for the Tigers. The first half was even, with both teams pushing the ball up the court. Kansas had a 31-10 lead when Missouri's senior guard Lisa Ellis hit a drive layup with 4:22 to play, keying a 6-0 run that helped give the Tigers a 38-33 lead at halftime. Both teams looked sloppy during the opening period, with each of them committing 10 turnovers. On a 9-0 run, Kansas tied the score at 17 with 12:45 left. Then, Missouri had a similar spurt, taking a 56-7 lead with 11:21 remaining on a free throw by junior forward Monique Lucas. Although Kansas closed the gap, it was never able to overcome that burst. The Jayhawks were led by Dougherty's 20 points, senior forward Lisa Baker's 10 rebounds, and sophomore guard Lisa Braddy's eight assists. The Tigers were led by Tracy Ellis with 18 points, and junior guard Tonya Jorgenson with 4 assists The game also marked the debut for senior guard-forward Cheryl Jackson for the Jayhawks. She finished with four points, scoring her first point as a Jayhawk on a free throw at the 13:13 mark of the second half. Washington said that Jackson played a fine game for her first time out in a year and a half. "Cheryl played with good intensity and played good defense," Washington said. "She will be a good addition to the team." Washington also said that the accomplishment by Dougherty was a great one, but she wasn't surprised. "Lisa has taken the tools she has and has used them to the best of her ability." Washington said. "She always works hard and is a person a coach can always rely on." The next game for the Jayhaws is Saturday, at Ames, Iowa, against the Iowa State Cyclones. Missouri 72, Kansas 67 B0 2+ D-1. 2ucs 5 1-3. 11, Ellis 7.

Attorney Richard Woods said he received the letter yesterday from Royals co-owner Avron Fogelman apologizing for any misunderstanding relating to having to choose between baseball and football. Fogelman caused controversy earlier this week when he said he planned to meet with Jackson this summer and tell him he has to decide if he wants to be a baseball player or not. "He wrote that he is supportive of Bo pursuing two sports," Woods said. "He gave his full permission to play both." Jackson batted .235 with 22 home runs and 53 RBI last season, but slumped badly after the All-Star break, about the time he signed with the Los Angeles Raiders of the NFL. He hit only four homers in the second half, finished with 158 strikeouts and lost his job as Kansas City's starting left fielder to Gary Thurman. "He said that as long as Bo is able to do both, more power to him," Woods said. "He (Fogelman) said he had no problem with the situation and hoped he would be successful at both." But in his letter to Woods, Fogelman said there would be no ultimatum. Jackson ran for 554 yards, averaging 6.8 yards per carry, and scored four touchdowns this season. He ran for a team-record 221 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown, against Seattle. The Royals wanted Jackson to play winter ball and Fogelman was upset when he instead reported to the Raiders. Jackson, a Heisman Trophy The 1988 season will be the final year of Jackson's three-year contract with the Royals. He made $330,000 last season and will be paid $333,000 this year. If Jackson decided by July 1 to drop baseball and play football full-time, he would have to return some money to the Royals. winner for Auburn, played seven games for the Raiders and was a standout at running back. Jackson, 25, signed a five-year, $7.4 million deal with the Raiders last summer and his contract stipulates he must join them shortly after the Jackson has maintained that he wants baseball to be his No.1 priority and that football is merely a hobby. He has adamantly refused to choose between the two sports and gives no timetable as to when, or if, he would make such a choice. baseball season ends. Raiders owner Al Davis has not pressured Jackson into deciding between baseball and football. "The Raiders are very happy with the arrangement." Woods said. The Royals, who lured Jackson from a multimillion-dollar offer by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the NFL's top draft choice, have been more anxious to clear up Jackson's future. For now, though, Fogelman and the Royals say they can accept Jackson's time-splitting status. Brown leaves Iowa with Hilton blues The Associated Press AMES, Iowa — Kansas coach Larry Brown saw his fifth try for a victory in Ames, Iowa disappear at the free-throw line. Cyclones forward Elmer Robinson made four crucial free throws in the last minute of the game to lead Iowa State over Kansas 88-78 last night in Hilton Coliseum. The 14th-ranked Cyclones are now 1-0 in conference play and 14-2 for the season while 16th-ranked Kansas dropped to 11-4 and 1-1 in the conference. Robinson scored a team-high 20 points and grabbed six rebounds. Besides Robinson's offense, Iowa State was able to limit Kansas' forward Danny Manning to only one basket in the first 16 minutes. But the Jayhawks managed to keep the game close until the last seven minutes of the first half, when Iowa State went on a shooting spree and outscored Kansas 19-4. Manning, who finished the night with 32 points and 14 rebounds, stopped the scoring streak with three consecutive baskets, and a jump shot by Keth Harris cut the Cyclones' score to 11 points for a halftime score 42-31. For Harris, this marked the first game this season where he was left in the game for more than 10 minutes. He scored five points, two rebounds and two assists. The Cyclones' Lafester Rhodes also hurt Kansas with 19 points and was 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. Iowa State's ability to connect from the three-point line halted any chance for a Kansas cornhole winner and on Sunday Born both had two three-point shots. Iowa State was 7-for-16 in three pointers, and Kansas was 0-for-7. pointers, and at least 10 points. While the Jayhawks out-rebounded the Cyclones 45-27, they could not convert the advantage into points. Kansas got within six points with 3:45 left in the game, but foul trouble and turnovers prevented the Jayhawks from getting any closer. Kansas had a total of 25 turnovers to the Cyclones' 15. The Jayhawks played without starting center Marvin Branch for the first time. He was declared criminally ineligible earlier yesterday. Chris Piper, who has been suffering from a pulled groin muscle since the beginning of the season, was able to start for the Jayhawks and grabbing 6 rebounds and putting 5 points on the board. Big Eight Conference scoring leader Jeff Grayer, who was benched much of the time after getting into foul trouble early in the game, scored 15. Milt Newton scored 15 points and had 12 rebounds for the Jayhawks while Lincoln Minor had 12 points. Kansan sports writer Elaine Sung contributed information to this story.

Cash played impressively on the new synthetic Rebound Ace court. MELBOURNE, Australia — Wimbledon champion Pat Cash stamped himself as a serious contender in the Australian Open tennis championships with a 6-1, 7-6 (9-7), 6-3 victory over fellow Australian Carl Limberger yesterday. The hometown favorite now faces another local figure, Paul McNamee, in the third round of the $1.9 million event. But the Czechoslovak felt there was room for improvement. McNamee, a former Davis Cup player, plans to retire following the Open. All of the top seeds advanced Wednesday, led by No. 1 Ivan Lendil who beat American Matt Anger 6-0, 6-1, 6-1 in just 89 minutes. Lendl, who was critical of Cash's performances on surfaces other than grass following his defeat by the Australian in last year's Wimbledon final, made just six unforced errors during his victory. "I've won two matches in straight sets against onon opponents." he said. Neither 0.2 seed Stephan Edberg or third seed Mats Wilander of Sweden played Wednesday, but fifth seed Yannick Naoh of France found his touch late in his second round match. He defeated Italy's Massimiliano Narducci 6-7 (6-8), 6-2, 6-2.1 Noah, a last-minute entrant in the tournament because of a groin injury, said he still had plenty of room for improvement. "I'm pleased, but I've played one tournament in six months," said the former French Open champion. He was joined in the third round by 12th seed Christo van Rensburg of South Africa who downed Nigerian Tony Mmoh 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. "I'm not looking too far ahead. I'm not that confident I can stay well." Frenchman Henri Leconte, the seventh seed, also moved on with a 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 win over Australian Peter Dooban. Other seeds to advance included Sweden's Jonas B. Svennson and Australian Wally Masur, the 14th and 16th seeds respectively. In the 128-player's draw, big guns Martina Navratilova and Chris Ewert blitzed their second-round opponents. Navratilova, the No. 2 seed who is chasing her fourth Australian Open title, whipped Anna-Maria Fernandez of Torrance, Calif., 6-1, 6-0 while Evert downed Beverly Bowes of Lubbock, Texas, 6-0, 6-1. Former Dodger star Steve Garvev ends celebrated career LA JOLLA, Calif. — Steve Garvey, baseball's quintessential good guy and one of the game's great clutch hitters, retired yesterday after 17 years in the major leagues. He spent the last five with the San Diego Padres. The Associated Press "This is in many ways the toughest day of my life. In other ways, it's quite exciting," said Garvey, a first baseman who starred 12 years for the Los Angeles Dodgers before joining the Arizona as a free agent in December 1982. He had been on the disabled list since May 30 with a torn bicep tendon near his left shoulder, an injury that required reconstructive surgery. a lifetime .294 hitter, Garvey batted .211 with one home run and nine runs batted in 27 games last season before being sidelined. Garvey, a 10-time All-Star who enjoyed a tremendous fan following, said the injury that cut short his 1987 season also influenced his decision to "It's a retirement that is decided upon almost involuntarily because of the severe injury that I had," Garvey said. "It's an injury that has taken much longer to heal than I expected. It's an injury that over the last four or five weeks has come along very slowly." He had hoped to play one more season and held several preliminary discussions with the Dodgers as well as the Padres, who were the only non-roster player. But the slowness of the rehabilitation forced him to change his mind. Garvey wasn't offered a 1988 contract by the Padres and became a free agent in November. "I didn't think it would be fair to the Dodgers or the Padres — the two teams I wanted to play for — or the fans if I went out there at less than 100 percent." — Steve Garvey Former baseball player "I didn't think it would be fair to the Dodgers or the Padres — the two teams I wanted to play for — or the fans if I went out there at less than 100 percent." Garvey said. Garvey broke into professional baseball in 1968 with the Dodgers' farm club in Ogden, Utah. He shuttled between the minor leagues and the big leagues before spending his first full season with the Dodgers in 1971. He leaves the game as the best fielding first baseman in history with a fielding percentage of .996, and as one of its most durable players, holding the National League record for consecutive games at 1,207. The NL's Most Valuable Player in 1974, Garvey hit 272 homers and drove in 1,368 runs while batting .284. He was the league's best, though, in postseason play. in five World Series with the Dodgers and Padres, Garvey hit 193 (36-for-113), and in five NL championship series he batted .356 (32-for-90) with eight homers and 21 RBI. Asked what he would miss most now that his playing days are over, He led the Padres to their only NL title in 1984 with a dramatic two-run homer in the ninth inning of Game 4 of the playoffs against the Chicago Cubs. The Padres lost the World Series that year to Detroit in five games. "I've had a wonderful 20 years," Garvey said. "I've been blessed in these 20 years, accomplished a lot. I know also that those accomplishments will be with me, and I'll have an opportunity in the future. I think, to use them off the field to help people enjoy the game of the baseball." "Being able to entertain the fans, I think, will be the biggest void in my life, that and the camaraderie with my teammates and organization, the coaches and staff. "I truly enjoyed working with a group of fellows trying to win a game or a championship or have that winning season. The fans have been my inspiration. So, I'll miss that rapport on a daily basis with the fans but you can never take away that relationship I've had with them, not only in Los Angeles and San Diego but throughout the country." He said his greatest thrill was putting on a baseball uniform. Garvey said he would continue working with his public relations firm, Garvey Marketing Group of La Jolla, and would consider a baseball front office job should the opportunity arise. Nicknamed "The Senator" by his Padres teammates, Garvey said he also would consider running for a public office in the future.
