Javhawks confident for road test
By GARY VICE
Sports Editor
Road victories haven't been the Jahwayks' forte this season. In fact, if it wasn't for the last three-second winning shots, they would have only one road win to boast about.
Nevertheless, the team speaks confidently about knocking off the Buffaloes in the 8:35 CST game and would assure the Jayhawks, 8-5 and 17-8 overall, of returning with the home-court advantage for Saturday's opening round of the Big Eight.
Needing a victory on the road is never a favorable position, senior forward Herb Nobles said, but playing in CU's Balch Field House does have its advantages.
"I THINK it will be to our advantage to be playing Colorado on the road than any other Big Eight team," Nobles said. "Temas like that." The Alabama State have played us a lot tougher.
Donnie Von Moore agreed, saying, "The chances are better for us beating them on their court than on beating anyone else on theirs."
The record book indicates support for those contentions as the 'Hawks have won their last three outings in Boulder. However the combined victory margin was 10-5 against the Bucks, 10-5, are 8-5 playing at home, including a victory over Kansas State.
Center Ken Koenigs said, "I think Colorado is a favorable foe for us in that they're a second-division club. But it's not the choice to play on he跑 because of difficulty."
WHAT KOENIGS is referring to is the dilapidated basketball gymnasium that the Buffs will continue to call home until then. The new building will hold a Baldy Field House can hold only 3,000 fans.
Be dumped amid the howling Colorado supporters appeals to Von More, who said,
it like to play in small places. It reminds
me of the gyms I played in in high school.
*Other team's crowds really get me going—especially when they boo me. They
Such conditions have apparently also affected junior guard John Douglas, who is averaging 26 points on the road while averaging just 18 in Allen Field House.

KU's signings hit 26
Two more signings were announced by the Kansas football office early this morning following yesterday's announcement that lineman John Oddell of Wellington had signed a national letter of intent with the Javahuws.
Oell, 64 and 255 pounds, was joined by running back Kevin Houston, 64 and 180, of Liberty Mo., and wide receiver John Randle, who scored on briskly breaking, the number of signings to 26.
Odell, who has run a 4.8-second 40-yard dash, considered one of the top linebackers in his league.
IN A PHONE interview late last night, he said he chose KU over Oklahoma after a court order.
Women cagers must win to keep their season alive

The rest of the season hinges on one game for the University of Kansas women's basketball team as it hosts rival Kansas State. The game will start at 7 in Alumni Field House.
Tonight's contest is a door-die situation for KU, now 12-43 for the year. If they defeat the Wildcats, they'll force a playoff to determine the state representative to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women regional tournament in Decorah, Iowa, March 10-12, if they lose, their season is over.
Kansas State has defended the Jayhawks this year by a total margin of 10 point.
K-STATE is 3-1 in state conference play and 17-10 overall. KU is 2-1 in the Big Eight. If a playoff game is necessary, it probably will be played at Wichita State University or some other neutral court, according to KU coach Marian Washington.
Widecat coach Judy Akers will start two six-foot players against the 'Hawks, Laurie Miller, the team's leading scorer with an average of 11.7 points a game, and Margo Jones will start at forward and center respectively.
K-State's height advantage bothers Washington, but she thinks her team is capable of staying with the Wildcats on the backboards.
"we proved we can stay with them in any game by the fact that we outbounded them in both games," she said. "To win, we must make sure we stay in focus and press to keep them off-balance."
Washington said she wanted to win the game but added that there was a chance for an at-large berth in the regional tournament.
“but we have made an application for the bid
‘I will be will only one of several teams in
the Midwest under consideration,’ she said.
‘I haven’t told my team yet because I
wanted their best effort to win and not have
to make it through the back door.’

Head coach Bud Moore was in Wellington to sign Odill yesterday, and Oddell, who was also recruited heavily by Arkansas and Virginia, he thought he had made the right decision.
"I've felt better and better about it as the day went on." he said.
Odell's father, Mc Odell, who is also his high school coach, said, "I can tell you what made him go there—Bud Moore. Moore was the reason for his going to KU. But put a sell on him, 'cause till this weekend he was OU-bound."
HOUSTON, WHO is also a standout baseball pitcher who posted an 8-1 record last year, picked up 994 yards running his first outing and was also sought heavily by Missouri.
"I like the facilities at KU better than Missouri's," Houston said last night from Liberty. "The dorms were better and I can work here." But they don't let freshmen play at Missouri."
McCarroll, who also played safety had 19 receptions for 400 yards and eight touchdowns.
Another player KU had hoped to get, defensive back Dick Boussakoub of Kapun-Mt. Carmel in Wichita, has signed a national letter with Notre Dame.
"THEY'VE VERY quick which allows them to continually change their defense and confuse their opponent," Owens said. "They'll try to show a zone when they're really in another coverage. What we've got to do is not play guessing games with them."
