With the last of its non-conference mismatches behind them, Jayhawk coach Roy Williams and his top-ranked basketball team can concentrate on tougher Big Eight Conference competition.

Last night's game gave the Jay-
hawks a place in history. Kansas
became the first Big Eight Conference
team since the Kansas State
squad in 1957-58 to finish its non-conference schedule undefeated.
Alonzo Jamison made his first appearance in a Jayhawk uniform and scored nine points. Jamison was declared eligible to play yesterday after sitting out 18 months because of academic problems.
In front of their sixth-consecutive sellout crowd at Allen Field House, the Jayhawks used long runs to start each half and pounded Elizabeth City
The outcome of Thursday's 132-65 victory over Elizabeth City State was inevitable and was decided quickly.
Elizabeth City State guard Darryl Riddick's led the Vikings with 16 points.
Williams began shuffling in reserves with 15:55 left in the first half and the Jayhawks leading 16-0.
Jayhawk center Pokk Markkanen missed his first start of season because of the flu. Markkanen felt ill at the team's pre-game meal and his temperature was over 100 degrees, Williams said. Junior Mike Maddox replaced Markkanen in the starting lineup.
Before the game, Kansas was ranked second nationally in field goal percentage (54.1 percent) behind Notre Dame. The Jayhawks improved their season percentage with 62.7 percent shooting. Elizabeth City State was held to 42.4 percent from the field.
Williams used all his substitutes by the midway point of the first half.
in preparation for last night's game, Williams said he outlined three points for his players to follow. Like their non-conference record, he said their execution was perfect.
"We really didn't know what to expect," Williams said. "They've had some problems. Some of their best players are not playing due to academic decisions to hold them out. I'm happy for these kids. They got a chance to play in front of 15,800 people."
Kansas scored the game's first 18 points and led 55-29 at halftime. The Jayhawks also used a 13-0 run to start the second half and increased its lead to as much as 61 points late in the game.
Eight Kansas players scored in double figures. The Jayhawks improved their record to 19-0 and handed the NCAA Division II Vikings their 12th loss in 13 games.
Kansas' Terry Brown led all scorers with 19 points. Rick Calloway added 18 points for the Jayhawks and Mark Randall scored 16 points. Four other Kansas players scored in double figures.
Williams said the Jayhawks now can devote their full attention to tomorrow's showdown with Missouri'

'Hawks to battle rival Tigers
Bv Paul Augeri

Kansas basketball coach Roy, Williams knows that the Missouri Tigers, ranked fourth in the Associated Press poll, be ready and waiting for his No. 1 Javhawks.
On top of that, Williams knows that the Antlers, Missouri's version of the KU Bleacher Bums, will be ready for Kansas.
So his Kansas team must be prepared to attack the Tigers offensively. Williams said.
The Jahywarks clash with Missouri at 1:10 tomorrow afternoon in the Hearnes Center in Colombia, in the teams' first meeting of the season.
"We have to be ready. On Saturday I'll tell them it's a big game," Williams said. "But if we win, I don't want them to think they're saviors."
Kansas is 19-0 and 2-0 in the Big Eight. The Jayhawks haven't played a conference opponent since Jan. 13. They have won seven straight games. 8-0 have won seven straight games.
Kansas Basketball GAME 20
Missouri has a 25-game winning streak at the Hearnes Center. Kansas was the last Tiger opponent to win in Columbia, defeating Missouri 82-77 in 1988. Missouri swept both games last season.
The Tigers hold an 11-6 series edge at the Hearnes Center, but Kansas leads the overall series 138-80.
Williams said the Hawks must thwart the Tiger offense on the inside and find ways to score offensively against Missouri's physical front line.
Missouri's starting five all have double-figure scoring averages. Doug Smith, a 6-foot-10 junior forster is the leader with 18.4 points a game.

Kansas forward Rick Calloway said Alonzo Jamison will add depth to the Jayhawk lineup. Jamison was declared eligible to play yesterday after sitting out 18 months because of academic inelegibility.
"He should fit in real well once he gets back into game shape," Calloway said. "He's a good rebounder and passer, and has excellent skills on defense. He'll help us in a lot of

Swimmers ready for conference
By Molly Reid
Kansas sportwriter
While most students were enjoying the luxury of 12-hour naps and afternoons in front of the television during semester break, the University of Kansas swimming teams were practicing hard.
"Eat, sleep, swim, eat, swim," freshman Almee Brainard said. "They were hard."
The teams were preparing for their final meets before the Big Eight Conference Championships in late February and early March.
Both the 21st-ranked men's team and the 17th-ranked women's team practiced 8 - a. 10 m. and 3 - 5 p.m. including three days of weight training.
Both teams will travel to Iowa State next week, and also compete in the Southern Illinois Invitational Feb. 2-4. The next home meet features defending Big Eight champion Nebraska swimming against the KU men Feb. 10.
"I think our meet against Nebraska will help prepare us for Conference," sophomore Doug Isaacson said. "It will be intense."
The women's team has a dual meet record of 7-0 after beating 16h-anked Arkansas. The men are 3-3 in duel competition.
"I'm assured our best swimming is ahead," Coach Gary Kempf said. "I feel like we're coming off the best Christmas training we've ever had. The effort has been excellent; their attitudes are great. I think we have definitely moved up a notch in our training."
Kempt said the women needed good performances from freshman Marine Ditrich, junior Lauri Hill and sophomores Barb Pranger and Kelly Redden to win the Big Eight championship Feb. 22-14 in Ames, Iowa.
Pranger was selected the Big Eight's swimmer of the month for December and January. She qualified for the NCAA championships in the women's 100-yard butterfly and the women's 400 medley relay. Redden, Deitrich and Hill also qualified for the NCAA championships in the 400 medley relay.
Kempf said the men's team will depend on good performances from juniors John Easton and Jeff Stout and freshmen Troy Reynolds and Zhawn Stevens for a top finish at the conference championships. Stout has also qualified to compete in the 100-yard backstroke in the NCAA championships in March.
"One of our goals has to be bring both the conference championships back the same year," he said. "The women are favored and the men are not. Our men still need to learn how to win."
They recently came close, taking 14th-ranked Minnesota to the wire, but losing 61-52.
"We need to get over the hump and we are going to fight until we do," Kempf said. "We are ready."

Eligible Jamison dunks his way into Kansas lineup

Alonzo Jamison, whose eligibility was announced yesterday morning by Coach Roy Williams, scored his first points for Kansas after 1½ years on the bench.
The 6-foot-5 junior college transfer from Santa Ana, Calif., redshirt last year after failing to meet the Big Eight Conference junior college transfer requirements. He also missed the first semester of this year because he did not meet NCAA academic

requirements for college athletes.
Jamison, who has two years of eligibility left, said he found out about his status a few days before it was announced.
Williams said earlier this week that he would elaborate on Jamison's eligibility, but last night said he had changed his mind.
"I thought it was up in the air really, but I had confidence that I could do it," he said.
"I know I said at some point I would try to explain it better, but I've also talked to Alonzo and his family." Williams said. "Again, I do believe strongly in a student's rights to privacy, particularly in academic matters and they'd rather me just leave the statement the way it is. The family says they
want to leave it behind him and I sort of do, too, because we've got basketball to play."
Jamison was as tight-lipped about the situation as his coach.
"I've been advised not to make any statements on that," was Jamison's only response to questions concerning his eligibility, which has been in question since the end of last semester.
Jamison entered last night's game with 12:10 left in the first half as Kansas led, 28-7.
Less than two minutes and five points later, Jamison made his presence known with a dunk on a ball by senior guard by senior guard Kevin Pritchard.
"I think that dunk said it all," he said. "I had four turnovers
"He really does a great job of moving his feet and, needless to say, he's strong enough to play inside. But it's going to take Alonzo a long time to get to be the player we think he can be." Williams said
tonight, that could be improved upon but I think I did OK overall."
He missed a dunk in the last five minutes of the game, which could
jamison added seven more points before the end of the night and finished with three of nine field goals. The sophomore again displayed some of his power with another dunk in the second half.
Jamison, who is pegged by Williams to play at the third and fourth spot, also had six rebounds, three assists and four steals.
have been a sign of fatigue. Jamison played 21 minutes last night.
Jamison said he signaled four times to Williams in the second half that he was tired, but was shocked to find that Williams ignored him.
"I think it was to me game in shape," Jamison said. "The first half, my adrenaline was pumping and I was nervous and wasn't."
Williams said, "It was the first time I've ever ignored aired signal. Heck, he hadn't played in a match, how the heck could be get tired?"
Senior guard Jeff Guelden said he thinks Jamison should have no problem getting more playing time.
