KU whoops, hollers; MU drowns in sorrow
By STEVE SCHOENFELD
The tale of two teams had just ended—both with highly emotional scenes.
For one- KU- the pain had subsided. The wounds had healed, the sorehes had closed.
A crushing 41-14 victory over Missouri had satisfied a Jayhaws' contingent, which had seemingly forgotten their season-long frustration as soon as their boys went ahead, 3-0, early. The win had left them drooling.
The other side--Missouri--was at a boiling point, at least those who stayed beyond halftime or the beginning of the third quarter.
Their frustration was pouring over. They were fuming that their team had beaten USC, Ohio State and Nebraska and now had lost to a team who had a 1-5 league record. The Missouri fans let the Tigers know exactly where they stood.
For the Jayhawks and their fans, there was plenty of celebrating. It included dancing, singing and lots of hollowing and whopping it up. No one had to ask them to
"Get and boogie." The KU Marching Band was already showing them how.
"We want more, we want more," the band shouted in unison.
They weren't calling Bud Moore, the KU head coach who had plotted the Jayhawks to their first back-to-back winning seasons in their league. They wanted more points on the board.
They got their wish when reserve quarters lassie rambled three yards for Rita a few years ago.
"All right, All right, Lissak," yelled starting quarterback Mark Vicendeen, who had both of his elbows torn and his jersey bloodied from the forcibleness of the

"Al Must Go." some shouted.
Others sang.
"Goodbye Al, We Hate To See You Go," they sang, urging Ono's disgust.
The Tiger players heard the message loud and clear - too clear.
"All that stuff makes me mad," Missouri offensive tackle Morris Towns said. "Every place we've been I've never heard the home game." That is true. It was to the point of help prudent.
The fans are so sickle. they're for us when we wear it, but they don't support us when we wear it.

The Jayhawks said they should've played that well all year long.
“All season long we had something go wrong,” tight end Jim Michaela said. “We always had a breakdown, a bad break, bad weather, and today. Today we didn’t make those mistakes.”
Campfield said, "This is the first time we've played as a team since we beat Wisconsin. The line was blocking perfect. The boxing was perfect and the dribbling was reading perfect."
Beson was referring to ending the season the Jayhawks' way. The Missouri players who trudged out of Tiger locker were going home. Their tale didn't have a happy ending.
Alums fall to varsity in basketball

Jarnison, with 14 points, and Vann, with 22, led the women in scoring while Ann Ribas scored 8.5.
Commenting on her team's play, coach Martian Washington, said, "We played too tight in the first half trying to make holes that weren't there, which forced a lot of losses."

With an 0-3 record, KU had to win its next two matches to take four place in its pool and earn a spot in Saturday's final. It did not make the top eight, 15-14, 15-6, and Northern Town, 16-14, 15-7.
But because they were the fourth place team in their pool, the 'Hawks had to go against the first place team in the other pool in the first match Saturday. That team, Southwest Missouri State, beat KU, 15-7, 15-7.
The Jayhawks finished the tournament with a 3-5 record, which put them in sixth place. Southwest Missouri State won it, and Nebraska at Lincoln was second. Minnesota finished third, Missouri fourth and St. Cloud sixth. Oklahoma was seventh and North Dakota eighth.
Thursday, the Jayhawks lost their first two matches to Nebraska at Lincoln and Minnesota. Then they lost their first match Friday to Missouri. 15-7, 15-7.

enough to beat Nebraska at Atomla in the second match, 15-9, 15-11, but not long enough for the third match, when St. Cloud (Minn.) State whipped KU, 15-5, 15-8.
However, KU coach Bob Stancifluff was still optimistic, saying that KU isn't that far from being able to compete against the teams that beat KU this weekend.
"We had the youngest team there," he said, "so the future looks promising. Out of it are you?"
The Jayhawks finished the season with a 34-14 record.
But Stanclift's mind was already on next season.
Kansas rebounded from that defeat long
Women trounce MU
The KU women's swim team didn't have to worry about making a comeback during the second half of Friday's meet against the University of Missouri. KU won easily, 79-52, in its second Big Eight meet of the season.
A slow start in the first half, which caused the team to lose to Colorado last week, didn't happen against Missouri, KU led throughout the meet, winning 11 of 15 events, including all but two individual events.
Debbie Bunker, Chesterfield, Mo., freeshain, won both the 100- and 200-yard freestyle races. Her time of 94.8 in the 100 freestyle set a Bie Eight record.
COUPLED WITH last year's 7-5 mark,
the victory gave KU its first back-to-back
winning seasons since 1961-62, and some
were in the future. Missouri also ended
the season 6-5.

The victory over the Tigers in a game played before 92,559 fans in Faurot Field salvaged a winning season, 6-5, for the team, who had lost five of their last six games.

STILWATER, Olka. (AP) — Oklahoma State coach Jim Stanley predicted "an exciting game" when his Cowboys, who are insured of being Eight Conference champions, clash with Brigham Young at the Tangier Bowl Dec. 18 in Orlando, Fla.
Coach Gary Kempf said the only trouble came in the two relay races.
The game will be a rematch of the 1974 Fiesta Bowl between the Cowboys and Brigham Young, 9-2 and runnerup in the Western Athletic Conference. The Cowboys won the first match with the WAC team, 16-6.
"The execution of Vicendess was the difference," Moore said. "We've been able to move the ball before, but turnovers did us in our quarterback execution was snubber."
SO NOW IT will be easier for Moore to enjoy the coming winter months leading to spring football drills having avoided a losing season.

"We've all made some mistakes, starting with myself, that hurt our squad," he said. "I'm just thankful we finished a winner, and I'm also grateful being a strong program like we want here."

he is another year ahead, and playing
doesn't hurt him.
"We know now that with Mark Vincendie at quarterback our offense will be there one more time," Dinkel said. "We'll work hard this winter and I know we'll be able to move the ball, and most of our defense will be back."

yards on 20 carries in the game to surpass Greg Prout and the Charlie Davis and move into the No. 3 spot on the Big Eight career rushing chart with 3,192 yards. But the early exit may have cost him the 22 yellow heats on Saturday to net 1,000 yards on the season.
The 3rd half had made it more noticeable when freshman Mike Hubach connected on a 49-yard goal. The field goal, his second of the game, broke KU's distance record of 47 yards held jointly by Bob Swift and Mike Love. It was his seventh field goal of the season, which lies in his first quarter with a 53-yard attempt that fell, just short.
MU offensive guard Joel Yearian, said, "They found our weak spot. Their pass rush was the key. That's what really surprised me. We knew they had (Mike) Butler, and he is an animal, but everybody else came on gretty strong too."
Missouri went to the air trying to strike back quickly, but quarterback Steve Pisarkiewicz and Pete Wood had little success. He scored 149 yards and suffering two interceptions.
"THIS IS the way to end it all right," Smith said of the winning effort. "I think I would've made it (to 1,000) if I didn't get the coaches, they were trying to let me set it."
After Hubach's 29-yard field goal in the second quarter gave the Jayhawks a 3-0 lead, cornerback Skip Sharp intercepted a pass and raced 46 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown. It was Sharp's first touchdown, but he him into the conference lead, and it visibly stunned the Tigers, who seemingly quit from then on.
Missouri's talented wide receiver Joe Stewart said, "We were moving the ball pretty well at first. Then after the interception we seemed to lose confidence." He pointed out that perhaps its finest game of the year, accounted for much of Missouri's obverse problems.

When the KU basketball team opens its conference schedule against the Missouri Tigers in January, there is a possibility that they will lose to the many empty seats in One Allen Field House.
By ERIC MARTINCICH
Not that the game against the defending Big Eight champions won't be exciting. It may be the biggest, most crucial contest the 'Hawks will encounter this season.
But the MU game, along with three others, have been scheduled to be played in Lawrence during the semester break. This means that the student who plans to be away from the University from Dec. 18 will receive a fourth of the home games scheduled.

BESIDES THEIR game against Missouri, KU has home games with Arkansas, Oklahoma State and Iowa State scheduled during semester break. Plus, the Jayhawks have a home game against Iowa State Jan. 18, which is at the beginning of second-semester enrollment when many students are still away.
Last year, only the Jayhawk Classic was played at KU while students were away.
Clyde Walker, athletic director, said that it didn't like the time of the conference in which he played during games.
"We wouldn't schedule conference games over the break if it were possible," Walker said. "It's up to the Big Eight Conference to decide." It usually, we have very little control, over it.
WALKER postSAID that because of the new league postseason tournament, conference games had to be played earlier this year. Last year, the MU game was the only conference game Kansas played over the break and it was in Columbia, Mo.
"We play a 27-game schedule, which begins the last Saturday in November and ends the first week in March," he said. "We put a lot of pressure on getting around playing over the break."
Walker said that Kansas had to play over the break because of the number of games he played.
Walker said that he couldn't comment on how much revenue Kansas might stand to lose.
"We NEVER like to play when the
year we have won," said, but this year we have no choice.
"The students are very important in helping the team. As far as enthusiasm is concerned, we should try to make it more enjoyable."
KU head coach Ted Owens said that he wasn't pleased with the idea of playing the pitcher in a World Cup game.

Several players echoed Owens' sentiments.

"A big crowd gets the team going," Johnson said. "When the crowd cheers for you, you really feel the vibrations. When they cheer like that, the players really come."

Johnson said that since many students lived in Kansas City, he hoped there would be crowds over the vacation as good as those during the regular semester.
Several students from the Kansas City area, however, said that they probably were just drunk.
Cary Fox, Shawnee Mission sophomore, said that if there were better things to do in Kansas City, he would probably stay at home.
"I THINK most students feel the same

Fox said that he might come up for the MU game, however since he knew students in their class.
Brian Todd, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said that he'd probably go to the Big Eight Tournament in Kansas City over the weekend. He also will try to see the games played in Lawrence.
Karen Smith, Shawnee Mission junior and a member of the KU pompon girls, said that the squad was required to be at all but the Arkansas game.
"There's no big inconvenience for us to be at the games," she said. "Most of us will be here."
KATHELLE LACY, Topeka senior and another member of the squad, said that even though most of the cheerleaders would be in Lawrence for sorority activities, it was still considered a hassle to have to attend the games over the break.
"It is hard to cheer to a small crowd," Lacy said. "But the team needs support and coach Owens has been good to us. We feel it's the least we can do for them."
