(AP) — Kansas’ second NCAA basketball championship was something special. The Jay hawks won it Monday night on a near- homecourt that had never been friendly in title games. They did it over an old foe and one con sidered the better team. There were players making contributions, some on the court and some off. There were more losses than any other champion. There was a coach who is talked about in terms of moving, making moves that will be talked about. Finally, there was Danny Manning. And he is the reason that Kansas was so special Monday night. The two-time All-American ended his colle giate career with a game that summed up the Jay- hawks’ season. Manning finished with 31 points and 18 re bounds in the 83-79 victory over Oklahoma. But it was the way he scored the big points and the way he avoided his fourth foul to remain on the court that showed how valuable he was all season. “I don’t think he ever played a better game,” ‘ “Id said his father, Kansas assistant coach Ed Man- mng. Manning picked up his third foul 25 seconds into the second half. Coach Larry Brown didn't remove him from the game and it proved to be a great move eight .minutes later. Oklahoma took its largest lead of the game, 65-60, with 12:13 to play. Manning’s fellow senior Chris Piper hit a jumper to pull the Jayhawks within three. Man ning then scored the next seven Kansas points — the last two on a nice hook shot — around a three-pointer by Mookie Blaylock, and the Jay- hawks had the lead they never gave up. “I knew he wanted it bad, and he came out here and proved that tonight,” Oklahoma’s Sta cey King said after the game. “He had 18 re bounds and did a good job defensively.” Manning had five steals, and his play — with three fouls — was a major reason King and Har vey Grant, Oklahoma’s leading scorers, were held to a combined eight points in the second half. But it wasn’t Manning alone. Piper had eight points and seven rebounds and he teamed with Manning on the inside de fense. Milt Newton had 15 points and Kevin Prit chard added 13. Clint Normore had seven points and four asists in 16 minutes. Scooter Barry hit a big free throw with 16 seconds left. Brown Figured out how to stop the Sooners, the second-highest scoring team in the country. He slowed it down after playing a First half that was to Oklahoma’s liking and ended at 50-50. “I wanted the kids to understand that we had to work the clock, run some plays and get a little _ organized,” Brown said. The Final minutes found Oklahoma i charge that was snuffed by four free throk S i ^HL Manning in the Final 14 seconds. So Kansas won the title only 35 miles fit. )0 ints i campus.

(AP) — Here it is barely April, and Ian Woosnam al ready has played in three golf tour naments in Australia — one each in Hong Kong and Europe, and has made three appearances in the t United States. This week the 5-foot-4 golfer will play in the Masters for the first time. Ringing in his ears will be a warn ing from Scotsman Sandy Lyle. before a practice session on the Au gusta National Golf Club course, where the 52nd Masters begins Thursday. He insists, however, the distrac tions and pressures of one of the world’s great tournaments will not have a bearing on his performance. “He can’t go dodging around the world like that and come here and expect to start hitting great shots im mediately,” Lyle said. The 1988 record supports Lyle’s analysis. With all that jumping around this year, Woosnam still hasn’t won. “It’s just another week to me. It’s the same as last week or next week. “I don’t want to get over-awed by it. I just want to go out and do my job, try to play well the First three days and get in position to win the tournament.” And he has missed the cut in his last two American starts, particularly frustrating because Woosnam sched uled his four-week swing around the American circuit to “give myself the chance to play well.” “I’ve played here before, but al ways one week at a time, never giv ing myself the chance to get accli mated,” he said. Now he has had the chance. Noth ing has happened. “I’ve still got the brake on,” Woos nam said, the frustration clear in his voice. And he has only this week, in the Masters, to salvage something from his First extended American appear ance. There is little indication that it is likely to happen. “I just haven’t been playing all that well this year,” Woosnam said Woosnam grew up near the En- glish-Welsh border as a farmer’s son, and was a farm laborer, assistant golf pro and sometimes bartender. Despite his laclcof height, he gen erates enormous power from the tee. Last year he was the most fman- cially-productive player in golFs his tory, collecting about $1.8 million in world-wide earnings. He won eight international titles — Five in Europe. In the Masters, he will be part of a 16-man foreign delegation that also includes Seve Ballesteros of Spain, Greg Norman of Australia, British Open champion Nick Ealdo of En gland, Lyle and former Masters champion Bernhard Langer of West Germany. The American Field is led by Paul Azinger, Mark McCumber, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Tom Watson, PGA champion Larry Nelson, Lanny Wadkins, Jay Haas, Curtis Strange, Payne Stewart and Jack Nicklaus, the only six-time Masters winner. Winfield rejects trade to Astros eir st ender The 8 poin on. W he be anked 44 a £ lowin Jets lenn nipeg i Devi The :ord o lome £ NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees outFielder Dave Winfield rejected a proposed trade that would have sent him to the Houston Astros for right Fielder Kevin Bass, the Houston Post reported Tuesday. But Houston general manager Bill Wood said there is a possibil ity a trade between the two teams could still be worked out. The Astros and Yankees agreed to the deal and needed only WinField's approval to com plete the transaction, the newspa per said. But Winfield, an 11- time All-Star, invoked his right to refuse a trade Monday. Since WinField has been in the major leagues for 10 years, five of them with New York, he has a right to refuse any trade. Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, however, has maintained there is a clause in WinField’s contract which waives his right of refusal. Winfield and the Yankees a been actively trying to tradrB outFielder for several weeks.

WinField said Tuesday that a proposed trade had been dis cussed with his agent but side stepped any direct answers. “We talked about it,” Winfield said after the Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins 8-0 in their sea son opener. “We’ll listen.” • Steinbrenner is feuding with 1988 salary, estimated at Ji million and also agreed to hefty jxn tion of a SWr buyout clause that would haw lieved the Astros of the final# years of Winfield’s contra which runs through 1990.

But he is the strong foundation for whatever fate befalls the Texas Rangers this year in the American League West. The 39-year-old Hough, whose fluttering knuckeball can barely be clocked by a radar gun, proved it again Monday night. Hough gets rough under pressure. He went eight innings on a night when he couldn’t get his knuckler to behave properly. His 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians before 37,000 fans attending the home opener couldn’t come at a better time as a conFidence builder for the Rangers. Texas started 1-10 last year, and not even Hough could save the club by himself with 18 vic tories. He pitched more innings than anybody in the league, trying to drag the Rangers along be hind him. “Charlie is amazing,” Manager Bobby Valen tine said. “He is such a tough competitor that he’s hard to beat even on his off nights. Charlie pitched well enough to win. He just kept getting them out in the clutch.” “I always seem to get lucky againsttheit Hough, who has won his last 13 games the Indians and is 16-4 lifetime againsttW threw 111 pitches but didn’t havehisart' down afterward. “I’m still in great shape,” he said knows? I might still be around five years now.” n poir lidn’t said, “I didn’t have a good knuckleball the whole game.” The Indians touched him for three homers but couldn’t send him to the showers. The Rangers may be developing an a« liever to help pick Hough up and that® make Texas’ elder statesman a threat to)-1 games.
