Revenge factor in effect for swimmers
By Dan Gelston
Kansan sportswriter
Revenge will be on the minds of the No. 20 Kansas men's swimming and diving team this weekend as it heads to Iowa City, to face No.16 Iowa.
The revenge is a result of last year, after the Hawkeyes came to Lawrence and thumped the Jayhawks. 139-104.
Pride will also be at stake as Kansas, which has a 10-3 record, hopes to win its final dual meet as a member of the Big Eight Conference before it becomes the Big 12 Conference.
And both Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf and diving coach Don Fearon have issued challenges to their players that this is the time to prove that they are ready for the postseason conference competitions.
"I need to talk to them about stepping up and really being aggressive at a high level of competition," Kempf said. "Iowa came into our place and beat us pretty good last year. It will be a great challenge."
Kansas, which has a 12-16 series record against Iowa, will use Iowa as a tune up for the Big Eight Championships, which begin Feb. 14 in Oklahoma City.
The Kansas divers will go against a deep Iowa squad. The Hawkeyes have seven divers while Kansas only has three.
Much more than a win is at stake for the swimmers. Only the top 17 scorers on the team will qualify for the conference championships. With 23 swimmers, some are going to be left out on the dock.
Fearon said one of the keys to Kansas' success against Iowa will be the diving of senior Kris Hoffman.
"We should have some good competition on our own team," Kempf said.
Kansas will take on an Iowa team that has admitted to being rusty, with a 2-1 record. Iowa has had its last three meets canceled because of inclement weather and scheduling conflicts. The team also lost five All-American swimmers from last season.
Iowa assistant swimming coach John Davey said his squad will be in for a tougher test than at their previous confrontation.
"We've been hurt by not being able to swim the past couple of weeks," he said. "We lost so many great swimmers and our freshman recruiting class isn't what we were hoping it would be. It's going to be very competitive."

Today's Birthday (Feb. 2). If you work hard this year, you might accumulate a nice nest egg. Plan now, so your efforts in March are most productive. Take time for romance in June; you'll be too busy in July.
Constructive criticism may be hard to hear in August, but necessary. Take a cheap vacation to a pretty place in late September. Friends can help you wrap up a great deal in December. Pay back a debt next January, to achieve your goal.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you can't manage to be with your family and dearest friends, call them. You need the advice they want to give you. You may absorb information that never seemed to stick before. Your Teflon coating is wearing off. Start using Pam to avoid this sticking. But don't use butter; it's too fattening.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Be patient with a trouble maker today. Your love, and persistence, may provide the good example that's needed. If you and your sweetheart pool your resources, you may be able to afford dinner at a fancy-schmancy place tonight. You certainly deserve it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be careful with your money today. Make sure you know who's getting it. Some worthy causes are not quite as worthy as other's. Charity begins at home, actually. There may be somebody near to your heart that needs
something that only you can give.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Work any kinks out of your plan this morning, so you can put it into action this afternoon. Try to attract as little attention as possible, for best results. Your opposition may be arguing so much with each other they may forget about you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Even if you have the right answer, you could lose the game if you don't word it properly. If you figure out all of the consequences ahead of time, you can appear more intelligent than you are. Show you're practical as well as imaginative.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). If you're a photographer you should be able to get some good pictures today. If you're a student of life an older person could give you some excellent advice. If you're looking for love, don't fall for a flashy dresser. Pick a quiet, sensitive creature, like yourself.
Aries (March 21-April 19). In order to block the other side's next move, your team will have to stop arguing and work together. Tell them that. If you're having an argument with your spouse or roommate, try a solution that worked before. It will probably work again.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). To make sure your money's in a safe place, listen to advice from people who's opinion you don't often solicit. An unusual development may have changed things. Gather
information, but don't act yet. You won't need any advice in love; just do what comes naturally.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today the advantage is with people who are good at nonverbal communication. That might be something you'd like to learn. If not, find a friend who likes to communicate the same way you do, and go for a drive in the country tonight.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
The opposition could get tangled up in their own problems, and overlook the fact that you're getting ready to put on the squeeze. With the help of one you love and another old friend, you could win the prize. You'll be the luckiest around the middle of the day.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). You may have to go along with something a loved one wants, even if you've already said you wouldn't. It's not a big deal to you, and it could mean a lot to the other person. Your strong point is your agile imagination today, but your weakness will be love.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
This is a great day to be with the people you love. The more of them you can get together, the better! Take plenty of food, in case somebody shows up that you didn't invite. The surprise will add to the overall festivities. Even a small disaster could be fun.

Manning to rise again with Suns
Manning, who signed with Phoenix as an unrestricted free agent in September 1994, has been out since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in
PHOENIX — Forward Danny Manning, sidelined nearly one year with a knee injury, has been activated by the Phoenix Suns and is expected to play tonight at Cleveland.
Danny Manning
When Manning was injured, the Suns owned the
NBA's best record at 36-10. They lost 13 of the season's final 36 games and were eliminated for the second straight year by the Houston Rockets in the second round of the playoffs.
Manning, a two-time All-Star who played for the Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks before joining Phoenix, has been undergoing extensive rehabilitation since his injury.
He tore the same ligament in his right knee Jan.
4, 1989, during his rookie season with the Clippers and didn't return until the 12th game of the following season.
Without Manning, the Suns have struggled this season to a 19-23 record, their worst since 1987-88.
