Stir in women's basketball coach Marian Washington, and you get the preseason No. 14 Kansas Jayhawks. By Gerry Fey Kansan sportswriter But the Jayhawks have a problem. With only 10 players currently on the team they are short on ingredients. "Ten players, it's been a long time," Washington said. "It certainly was not by design. But I've had 13 before where they weren't as talented as these 10." One thing not by design was losing sophomore Amelia Holmes. Holmes decided to leave the team for personal reasons. Washington understood the decision, but she said that it would hurt the team. Because the team is low on players, Washington said, two walk-ons will join the Jayhawks. Walk-on tryouts are scheduled for I p.m. Monday in Allen Field House. "Walk-on tryouts are a good opportunity to get the student body involved," Washington said. "It's a fun opportunity." Washington said even with walk-ons the team's health would be the key. "It's an important variable," Washington said. "If we stay injury-free, we will be an exciting group to watch." She said junior guard/forward Angela Aycock would have to rise up from what she did last year. Aycock led the team in scoring and steals with 16.3 points and 2.8 steals a game. Aycock said the All-American preseason honor did not pressure her. She is also the nation's No.4 small forward according to NCAA Preview magazine. Low numbers mean Kansas' four freshman will have to jump in early, Washington said. Freshman guard Tamecka Dixon, a high school All-American from Linden, N.J., may get playing time. "I just found out today," Aycock said. "The only pressure is what I'll put on myself. It's good because it pushes you. It keeps you looking over your shoulder and keeps you on your game." "Our freshmen are going to see some time," Washington said. "Tamecka is going to help out at guard. It said a lot for our program to attract that caliber of player." But Washington said freshman guard Angie Hallebib might have to adjust to playing in a college defense. Halbleib said she was ready to play, despite having to make the adjustment. "I think we're going to be expected to contribute because of the numbers," she said. "We're ready for the pressure. We have the potential capability to go far this year." Los Angeles catcher wins Rookie of the Year award LOS ANGELES—For months, Mike Piazza kept hearing that he was a shoo-in for National League Rookie of the Year. The Associated Press He didn't let himself believe it until yesterday, when he won the award by unanimous vote. "It's just starting to sink in," said Piazza, calling from Taiwan where the Los Angeles Dodgers were on a five-game exhibition tour. "I was saying the whole season I wanted to concentrate just on my job alone and keeping my job. If you try to play for an award like that, you start playing for the wrong reason and put pressure on yourself." Piazza, who earned the Dodgers' catching job in spring training, hit .318 with 35 home runs and 112 RBIs. His average was the highest of any NL Rookie of the Year since the award was created in 1947, and he was the first winner to drive in 100 runs. "I really didn't go into the season with any specific numbers in mind," he said. "To hit 300 was something very satisfying for me. I think that's something pretty difficult to do for my position and considering my foot speed." Piazza, the 1,388 player taken in the 1988 amateur draft, became the sixth unanimous NL rookie winner, joining Frank Robinson (1956), Orlando Cepeda (1958), Willie McCovey (1959), Vince Coleman (1985) and Benito Santiago (1987). Atlanta Braves pitcher Greg McMichael was second with 40 points, receiving 12 second-place votes and four third-place votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America. Jeff Conine of Florida was third with 31 points, and Chuck Carr of the Marlins was fourth with 18 points. Piazza was seventh in the league in hitting, sixth in homers and fourth in RBIs. He tied for third on the NL rookie RBI list with Ray Jablonski of the 1953 St. Louis Cardinals. Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda was an early believer in Piazza's talents. Piazza, 25, became the 13th Dodger to win the award, the most of any club, and the second straight, following Eric Karros last year. "He was my batboy when he was 11 years old, and we spent endless hours on the practice field." Lasorda said. "This was his dream. He always wanted to play for the Dodgers. I want the whole world to know that this young man is self-made." Piazza was the Dodgers' lone representative on the NL All-Star team, becoming only the fourth rookie catcher selected to the NL squad.
