Barnthouse won't miss basketball anticipates beginning 'normal' life
Few people know who Cris Barnhouse is. Fewer still realize he is a two-year letterman on the University of Kansas basketball team. But when he takes his uniform off for the last time at the end of this season, he's not going to miss it.
"I never thought I'd say so, but II'm tired of basketball." Barnhouse said. "I'm looking forward to getting out and playing tennis and going out at night again."
Even though Barnthouse isn't a well-known player, he has helped the Jahywahks out of a few tough scrapes during his four years.
years.
His latest accomplishment was a tip-in at the buzzer to give KU a 91-89 overtime victory against the Iowa State Cyclones last
Wednesday. That tip-up and victory kept the 'Hawks in contention for the home-court advantage in the first round of the Big Eight Post-Season Tournament.
ALTHOUGH HE was ungently excited about his last-minute shot, Barnhouse said he didn't get as much excitement from basketball as he used to.
"I know it'become an old term, but college basketball has become a business," he said. "Everyone is under pressure worrying about keeping his job, and there's little rab-rah or displayed emotion on the court."
Instead, Barnhouse prefers to reminisce about past experiences on the floor, like the

times he, Ken Koenigs and Ruben Shelton teamed up in junior varsity contests.
Barnabus is a Phi Kappa Beta, but he had to miss the beginning of his initiation. He was 15 and he was the last.
"SOME PLAYERS have allowed basketball to become their primary objective in college," he said. "I try to leave it behind after I walk off the court."
Besides his other scholastic honors, Barnhouse was named to the Big Eight All-Academic team last year and was a second-team All-America.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) —The Kansas City Royals completed their contract negotiations yesterday by signing Dennis Leonard, the right-handed pitcher who was the top winner last season for the American League western division champions.
Leonard, 25, who had a 17-10 record last year, was the dead of the 36 players on the team.

course.
Earlier in the day the Royals announced the signing of five other players: outfielder Hal McAra, shortstop Fred Patek, outfielder Tom Poquette, first baseman-outfielder Pete LaCock and pitcher Larry Gura.
Royals sign 6; contract talks now complete
Leonard agreed on a five-year contract, as have some of the team's other key players, including McAeR, American League batting champion George Brett and Brooklyn Dodgers player Jeffrey Huber. Twenty of the players are under multi-year contracts and 16 under one-year contracts.
HARNTHOUSE HAS PLAYED in 42 varsity games in the last four years, including two starting assignments last year. He has played in 13 varsity games this year but for an average of less than four minutes a game.
He said he also wanted to qualify two individuals: Laurie Propst in diving and team co-captain Cathy Call in the 1,650 freestyle.

Leonard led Kansas City pitchers last season in win, starts, complete games.
Barnhouse played junior varsity basketball during first two years. As a sophomore, he scored 14 points.
Patek, the Royals' regular shortstop since 1971, signed a three-year contract, as did Poquette, who hit .302 as a rookie outfielder last year.
But, Barnhouse, who was a walk-on to the team four years ago, will leave the KU basketball team after this season as quietly as he came to it.

Jayhawk swimmers go easy at regionals
The KU women's swim team isn't trying to win the ALAW Regional meet this week, according to coach Gary Kampf, the head host of their best people and their strongest events.
The three-day meet, held today,
tomorrow and Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
, involves schools from seven midwestern
states. A total of 19 teams will be
competing, including four teams from Big Eight
Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and
IOWA State.
"Last week we proved that we're the best team in the area and that we have the best assembly of talent in the Midwest," said Kempf. "So this week we will go to take it."
THE SWIMMERS will try to meet the times required for entry in the AIAW national competition next month. To qualify for the regionals, a swimmer also had to train three times before the event during the season. All but two members of the KU team qualified.
Kempf said he primarily wanted to qualify the 400-yard medley relay team and the 200 and 800 freestyle relays for the national meet. KU's 400 freestyle relay team has already bettered the required qualifying time twice this season.
