Kansas beat more than just QU
’Hawks win NCAA crown in face of adversity
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (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

Hectic schedule
leads Woosnam
to his 1st Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. (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.

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’s contract clause may
supercede his right to refuse a
trade to speciFic clubs. He may
veto trades to all clubs but the
Yankees’ AL East Division rivals
and the Seattle Mariners, but the
players’ union contends that his
10-and-5 status supercedes the
individual contract.
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.” •

Hough still tough in Rangers season opens
ARLINGTON (AP) — In a game where most
of the victories go to the young and swift, Charlie
Hough is old and slow.
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
