Men to face Wildcats in Jayhawk territory Barry sees no revenge factor against K-State
by Mike Considine
Kansan sportswriter
The last time Kansas State visited Lawrence, the Wildcats snapped Kansas' 55-game homecourt winning streak.
Kansas guard Scooter Barry said the Jayhawks have forgiven the Wildcats for their 69-54 victory last Jan. 30.
"I don't think there's any kind of revenge factor. I don't think that has anything to do with it," Harry said. "I think we have the same kind of attitude we'd have toward anybody coming in to play at our place."
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will have an eight-game Allen Field House winning streak at stake, along with a two-game streak against a rival victory would use the teams in the big Eight Conference standings.
Kansas has a 16-3 overall record after Wednesday's 86-66 victory over Wichita State. The Jayhawks are third in the Big Eight with a 3-1 record. Kansas State is 11-5 and fell to 2-2 in the Big Eight with an 89-71 loss to Oklahoma State Wednesdays in Stillwater.
A victory by the 18th-ranked Jayhawks would give them access to a select circle. Kansas has a record of 1,399 circles and could become the third
NCAAD school to win 1,400 or more games. Only Kentucky (1,453) and North Carolina (1,429) have won more games than the Jayhawks.
not games that the Bucs won. Kansas defeated its intra-state rival, 75-74, in overtime on Jan. 14 at Manhattan.
"Kansas did what it had to do to win." Kruger said. "The effort was outstanding on both sides. We hope for another game like that."
Barry said the Jayhawks needed to play a similar game in Lawrence.
"I felt they just played a physical game," he said. "They were mentally prepared; and physically, they're really strong.
"I think that we felt we should have won the game down there. We want to come back and play a solid game this time and not make it into a close match."
The defensive intensity Kansas showed against Wichita State would be needed to defeat K-State, Barry said.
"The biggest key will be for us to maintain the defense that we showed tonight (Wednesday) against K-State, he said. "We've got to keep playing and we've got to keep playing the hard defense and improve our rebounding."
Kruger said playing good defense was a key factor for K-State. Offensively, he said, the Wildcats needed to have good balance between its inside game and outside shooting.
Kansas out-rebounded K-State 37 31 in Manhattan.
"kansas is playing so well that we're going to have to work awfully hard to hang in there and hope to have a chance at the end," he said.
"I think he's just stepped up and taking a charge," Kruger said. "He's a very complete player, and the opportunities have been there."
have a classmate have a wildlife point guard Steve Henson leads the team in scoring. The McPherson junior is third in Big Eight scoring, averaging 20 points per game.
Sophomore forward Mike Maddox said that controlling Henson, who led all scorers with 23 points in Manhattan, was important to the Jayhawks.
"He's a good player and a catalyst for their team," Maddox said. "I think if he do a good job on him and I don't, we have a good chance to beat them."
"They'll be ready for us after we beat them at their place. I think we have to be ready."
have to play. The K-State game is the second of three consecutive Jawahk home games against rival schools. Kansas will play Missouri at the field house Feb. 1.
Williams said it should not be difficult for the team to be emotionally ready for each game.
"I'm one of those guys who thinks you can get up to play 30 different games," Williams said. "Thirty is not a whole lot to play anyway."
NOTES: The starting time of the, Feb. 25 Kansas-Colorado game has been changed from 1:10 p.m. to 3 p.m. The game will be televised on the Big Eight Conference/Raycom Network.
Kansas trainer Mark Cairns said that forward Mark Randall bruised his thigh in a collision Wednesday night. Randall missed practice Monday because of the flu. An allergic reaction to medication Randall was taking for the virus caused him to black out, Cairns said.
Junior guard Kevin Pritchard is among the top 25 players in three career statistical categories. Pritchard ranks sixth in career steals (110), eighth in career assists (267) and 23rd in career scoring (1,021). He passed former Jayhawks Rodger Bohnstehlen (1966-48) and Jon Wood (1968-70). On last 19 points against Wichita State Pritchard should move up a few more places tomorrow. He is just one point behind Cedric Hunter (1984-47)

'Hawks face Iowa State, Southwest Missouri State First home meet of season for swim teams
by Brett Brenner Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas swim teams are home for the first time this season, taking on Southwest Missouri State at 7 p.m. today, and open their Big Eight season against Iowa State at 11 a.m. tomorrow. Both meet are in Robinson Natoratium.
"It's always nice to swim at home." Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf said. "It's not a tremendous advantage but still nice."
Kansas opened its spring season two weeks ago by taking on Arkansas in Fayetteville. The 19th-ranked Jayhawk came near with a 67-46 victory, but the women lost a close decision, 60-53.
The Southwest Missouri State Bears have a 9-3 dual meet record this season, having come off a recent victory against Missouri. Only the men will compete for the Bears today. The Jayhawks swam to a 71-42 victory against the Bears last season, in Springfield, Mo.
Bears coach Jack Steck said that although his team had little chance of beating the Jayhawks he believed that they would winners that would be able to keep up.

"It should be a heck of a race," Steck said referring to the 100-yard butterfly contest.
kempf said that he was approaching this meet as he did any other.
"What we are thinking is to take a step forward with each meet," he said. "We want to be a little bit more successful each time out."
successful Against Iowa State last season, both the Jayhawks' men's and women's teams scored victories. The women defeated the Cyclones 76-37. The men also won handily 88-50.
Kempt said that even with the loss of Eric Hansen, an All-American for Iowa State last season, he expected the Cyclones to be tough.
"They are always a tough club," he said.
On the women's side, Iowa State coach Ramsey Van Horne said that his team was "walking into the lions den."
"We just have to come down there and give our best effort," he said. "If we score 25 points it will be just like a victory."
Van Horne said two key performers for the Cyclones were Donna Braun in the sprint freestyle events and defending Big Eight Champion Jenny Adams in the breaststroke events.
Kansas has several people that have already qualified for the NCAA Championships to be held March 16-18 in Indianapolis, Ind., for the women, and March 30 through April 1 for the men.
The women who have qualified are freshman Barb Pranger, in the 100-yard butterfly;Barbara Ann Smith, senior, in the 400-yard individual; and Kauzlarich, sophomore, in both one-meter and three-meter diving.
The men include Glenn Trammler, senior, in the 100-yard backstroke; Jeff Stout, sophomore, also in the 100-yard backstroke; Bobby Kelley, senior, in the 400-yard individual medley, and Andy Flower, junior, in one-meter diving. The men's 400-yard freestyle relay team, and the men's 400-yard medley relay队 also have qualified.
The Jayhawks will continue their four-meet home stand with meets next weekend against Drury on Friday and Missouri on Saturday.
Walsh stays as executive VP; Seifert now 49ers' head coach
The Associated Press
MONTEREY, Calif. — Bill Walsh went out a champion yesterday when he resigned as coach of the San Francisco 49ers and joined Vince Lombardi as the only other head coach to step down after winning a Super Bowl.
Walsh also won a power struggle with team owner Eddie Debartolo Jr when the 49ers selected defensive coordinator George Seifert as their new head coach. DeBartolo was reportedly interested in getting a "name" coach to take over, but Walsh lobbed hard for Seifert.
Walsh will stay on with the 49ers as executive vice president for football operations.
At a news conference to make the announcement, *Derttoio* called
Walsh coached the 49ers to their third Super Bowl championship of the 1980s Sunday, beating the Cincinnati Bengals 26 in Miami.
Lombardi led Green Bay to victories in the first two Super Bowls in 1967 and 1968 then retired to the Packers' front office. He later returned as head coach of the Washington Redskins.
As part of the 49ers reorganization, General Manager John McVay will take on the new title of vice president of football administration. But DeBartolo said that Walsh would be in charge of the draft, trades and roster cuts.
roster cues
DeBartolo said he didn't try to talk
Walsh out of his decision because the
coach had already made up his mind.
The decision was reached after what DeBartolo said was an "emo
tional meeting" with Walsh Wednesday afternoon in Pebble Beach.
"It it got emotional a little bit because I don't think anybody wants to change something that has gone so well and so right for so long." DeBartolo
Walsh said he had more or less made up his mind to retire during the season but wanted to wait until it finished before making the decision final.
Walsh, who had the 49ers' coaching position longer than anyone else and is only the team's fourth coach with a winning record, had strongly endorsed Seifert, a 49-year-old San Francisco native, defensive aide since 1900 and before that assisted Walsh at Stanford.
Walsh ended his career with an overall record of 102-63-1, including playoff games. He joined the 49ers in 1979 after two years as head coach at Stanford, where he compiled a 17-7 win over bowl at the end of both seasons.
"It is an uplift to me to step aside on a most positive note. This is the way most coaches would like to leave the game."
"I look forward to my new career," Walsh said. "It's been 10 great years
It was a 31-year (coaching) career, and there's a time for everybody at some point to step aside.
A very lofty standard has been established in this organization and by Bill Walsh, one I look forward to maintaining." Seetert said at the conference last year that he would continue to produce the type of team that San Francisco will be proud of."
They went 10-6 in 1985, 5-1-1 in 1986 and 13-2 in 1987; but seeds of dissent between Walsh and DeBartolo were sown when San Francisco lost first-round playoff games all three seasons.
In strike-shortened 1982, the 49ers went 3-6. But they bounced back to 10-6 in 1983 and in 1984 went 15-1, winning, their second Super Bowl with a victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Last season looked to be more of the same, and the 49ers at one point were just 6-5, embroiled in a nasty game with the 76ers and all but written off for the playoffs.
But in 1891, with Joe Montana out of Notre Dame at quarterback, the 49ers went 13-3 and defeated Cincinnati in the Super Bowl.
In Walsh's first season, the 49ers matched their 1973 record of 2-14. The following year they were 6-10.
But Montana returned to form and sent Steve Young to the bench, the team won four of its last five to go 16 in the regular season, then swept Georgia and Chicago and route to Sunday's dramatic last-minute victory.
That victory was credited in great part to Seifert, who prepared the defense so well that Cincinnati's offense played no part in the game.
Walsh and Seifert followed different paths in their careers. Walsh had much-varied experience in the pros, including stints as an assistant with the Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers; Seifert's only pro experience has been as an assistant to Walsh.
