Javhawks try to repeat win against Cornhuskers
BY COURTNEY THOMPSON
Associate Sports Editor
Tomorrow's first-round playoff game for the Big Eight post-season tournament between Kansas and Nebraska probably will have a reactive quality to it.
The 3:10 p.m. playoff game in Allen Field House will be regionally televised and will
be the second time the Jayhawks have played Nebraska within a week.
Some fans anticipate that the game may be a boring, ho-hum replay of last Saturday's contest. But that might not be too bad - KU won that game, 74-66.
Although much of this week was spent in semi-consusion calculating the umpleten
possibilities for playoff matchups, most assumed KU would play Nebraska here. But after losing to Colorado Wednesday, the team had lucky to get the home-court advantage.

In swimming, size isn't everything
By KEN DAVIS
Sports Writer
Linemen in football get bigger every year; the age of the seven-foot center has arrived in basketball; big, strong power hitters are in demand in baseball.
But you won't be able to convince Kurt Anselmi that being big is everything. The freshman diver on the KU swim team knows better.
Anselmi is listed on the Kanaas roster as 5 feet 4 and 140 pounds.
KU coach Dick Reason said of Anselm,
"Don't let his size deceive you. He is an extremely strong person. He has tremendous lee drive and leg strength."
"I think my size helps me a lot," Anselmi said. "Mark Hill (KU diver who is listed at 6 and 175 pounds) is lankier and has more trouble jumping." He admires him, especially for his swimming options."
Anselmi he was pleased with his first season on the KU diving team—and with good reason. He has the season's best mark in three-meter diving for the Jayhawks this year and the third best point total in one-meter diving.
Anelsil's best day of the season was Feb. 5 in the meet with Nebraska. He scored 32.8 points in the three-meter event, which is the highlight in the Big Eight this year Reason said.
"I'm very pleased with what I've done as
a 'in placing'," Ansiama said. "I just hope I
get to know my friends."
Reason has been equally pleased with Anselmi's performance.
"Kurt is one of the most mature kids I've ever had the pleasure to coach," Reamon said. "He has all the background, experience and noise you could ask for."
"He has lived up to and exceeded all the expectations we had of him when we recruited him. The thing I enjoy most about him is that he loves what he does. He has great interest and enthusiasm and it really rubs off on others."
During his high school career at Shawnee Mission South, Anselmi was a two-time state champion on the one-meter board and last year was given honorable mention on the national level, receiving letters from 10 to 15 universities that were interested in his diving ability.
"I choose KU because of the outlook of the team," Anselmi said. "Everyone was real and I loved it."
relationship with the other team members."
Concentration is a key ingredient to the success of a diver. Anselmi says that he can use concentrations to get out of dangerous water.
"I set a perfect methyl picture in my mind each time by thinking about the dive I've seen it in books and on film. It always work the way we’ve seen it though."
only one home game but have lost all but two games on the road.
Losses by Missouri and Oklahoma (the two teams tied for second place at 9-5) and by Nebraska were responsible for the Jahvahws' first-division finish.

Fabulous Friday & Stupendous Saturday... SPEARS BAND
KU SHOT only 25 per cent in that period
The Jayhawks' record against Nebraska this season is even. But KU seems to have trouble winning the "rubber" game of a three-game series—winess the losses to Kansas State in Lawrence and to Missouri. The Jays' record against KU's record against both teams was even.

Owens said that, because the team had little time to prepare for the playoffs, he was glad to play a team he had faced recently—like the Cornhoppers. Logically, he would hope the Jayhawks could repeat last Saturday's win.

The consensus among KU fans seems to be that NU is a boring team to watch because it forces Kansas to slow its style of play.
KU CAPTAIN Ken Koenigs has said that Nebraska is a troublesome team to play because it controls the ball well and thereby throws KU off pace.
Carl Mpei, 8-4 center for the 'Huskers, will be the object of the Jayhawks plans, as usual. Carl Mpei's 23 points against KU led scoring for Nebraska last week.

Without starting another wearying enumeration of possible playoff combinations, there is one interesting possibility to mention.
K-STATE, the Winner of the conference race, plays Iowa State, the loser of that race, in Manhattan tomorrow. If K-State wins (and don't assume anything because the Cyclones beat Missouri this week), and if KU wins the traditional intra-state race, it would be played at 7:38 p.m. Thursday. March 3, in Kansas City's Kermer Arena.
The post-season tournament generally has been met with unenthusiastic response from Big Eight coaches. But finishing fourth in the conference caused Owens to
restate his position concerning the tournament.
"You bet I like it now! And I hope I like it a lot better in the next few days."
