Woodard's 14 points didn't win exhibition game
By a Kansan reporter
One Kansas tennis player advanced to the quarterfinals of the DuPont Clay Court Championships this weekend at Hilton Head, S.C., and two others lost in the first and second rounds.
Mark Jeffrey of Mississippi State defeated John Falbo in the quarterfinals Saturday 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Falbo, ranked 15th in the nation,
won two matches to advance to the
quarterfinals of the clay-court
championship, the second leg of the
Collegiate Grand Slam. He defeated
John Matteve of Brigham Young 6-3,
6-0, and on a rematch, he defeated
Joby Foley of West Virginia 6-2, 7-6.
Last month, at the Volvo Championships in Athens, Ga., Falbo defeated Foley in the first round 6-3, 7-6.

"Even at 30-years-old, she's still the most graceful player I've seen in my life," Coach Marian Washington said.
"I vnette was great."

But they couldn't keep up the pace and the alumnae again fell behind, but not before Woodard showed why she still holds almost every major Kansas women's basketball record, even after 10 years.
Woodard paced slowly down the court but pushed the ball to the right with lightning speed, leaving Braady at midcourt.
Kansas led 38-24 at the half, but the alumnae fought back five minutes into the second half and came within five of the Jayhawks, 42-37.
"I had to pull a rabbit out of my hair," Woodard said, laughing. "I had to redeem myself somehow."
Former players Lisa Dougherty and Lisa Baker each contributed 10 points to the alumnae's score, mostly in the second half. Both played with some of the current members who are on the Kansas team.
"It was fun, but it was hard work." Baker said. "I enjoyed playing with all my old teammates and Lynette. That was an experience, since I've never played her before."

Chiefs-Browns game ends in tie
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Kansas City's Nick Lowery probably wouldn't be one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history if he had to kick on the Cleveland Stadium turf every week.
Lowery missed two long field goals in the final four seconds of regulation and another with three seconds left in overtime yesterday as the Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns died 10-10.
The game featured the top two defenses in the AFC and lived up to its billing as a grudge match between the
how the head coach of "This is a tough stadium to kick in," Lowey said. "The last kick in overtime was like trying to kick out of a sand tran."
Browns and their former coach, Marty Schottenheimer, now the head coach of the Chiefs.
Cleveland Stadium has one of the few grass fields that take nearly a year-round beating from pro football and baseball, so the footing is rarely good.
Lowery, who began the year as the NFL's second-most accurate kicker, behind New Orleans' 'Morten Andersen, tied the game with a line-drive, 41-yard field goal with 3:48 to play in regulation time.
'Hawks upset No.2 LSU with 89-83 victory
The Jayhawks then slowly began to pull away from the Tigers. They opened a five-point lead, 77-72, on a basket by Mike Maddox with 4:45 remaining and then tied their largest margin of the second-half, 80-74, on a free-throw by Guidern with 3:42 left.
The final two free throws, hit by Gueldner with two seconds left, followed three straight three-point misses by the Tigers.

Third recruit signs to play for 'Hawks

Cross country runners to compete at nationals
By Paula Parrish Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's cross country team will compete in the NCAA Cross Country Championships today for the first time since 1981.
"I thought we had a shot in at in the beginning of the season," Coach Gary Schwartz said. "We kept that quiet from them, but as the season developed, it became a goal. I'm really excited about what these young men have been able to do in just two short years."
Kansas earned the right to go to the national championships last weekend at the NCAA District V Championships when they finished third behind Iowa State and Nebraska. The top three team finishers at districts advance to nationals, scheduled this year in Annapolis, Md.
Schwartz said he expected Iowa State and Oregon to be among the top finishers today. Oregon placed runners first through fifth to take first as a team in the District VII Regional.
"Obviously, we're not going to go in there and contend for the title." Schwartz said. "We have to go in with realistic goals. I'd feel really good if we can finish somewhere between 12th and 18th."
Kansas finished at districts with a score of 90 behind Nebraska, with 90, and Iowa State, with 33 Iowa State and Nebraska were ranked first and second in the country two weeks ago.
"I think it says that this conference
is pretty strong, which it is," / Schwartz said.
Kansas fell out of the top 20 because of its fifth place finish at the Big Eight Championships on Oct. 28. Kansas came in behind Iowa State, Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas State, respectively.
"It was a little bit of a setback, yet none of us had really good races, except for Donnie Anderson, and maybe Mike Spielman," senior Steve Heffernan said. "But we were close enough to the competition that we knew if we raced well, we could beat them."
The Jayhawks followed through with this philosophy, as they came pounding back at districts with a third-place finish.
Heffernan, who fell at the Big Eight Championships and finished 20th, came back with a wearing ninth-place finish at districts, completing the 10,000-meter course in 31:03.57. John Nuttall of Iowa State finished first with a time of 30:03.45.
"The fall really did kind of motivate me," Heffernan said. "I was more aggressive. I wanted to prove myself."
Kansas runners finished ninth
15th, 21st, 26th, 27th, 31st and 51st.
"I think that's one of the secrets of our team," Schwartz said. "I think we probably average in the 40-second range between one and five. That's the goal in cross country, to try to pack those in there as close as you can."
