Marlene Mawson watches Kansas volleyball on Oct. 21.

CHRISTIAN HARDY

@ByHardy

Meet the “mother” of

KU women’s athletics

Senior iana Dockery roseup above the net, ound a lane,and slammed the ball to thehardwood court; the thunder-ous collision between ball andfloor shook through HorejsiFamily Athletic Center. Point,Kansas.

On the edge o the benchclosest to the net, Kansascoach Ray Bechard eagerly

 jumped out o his seat andshouted a ew words o en-couragement.

Another coach sat 10 rowsbehind him, between sec-tions A and B. She gazed atthe court with her eyes wide,startled by what Dockery had

 just done. Tis coach, though,was retired, more relaxed, andrather removed — yet equallyimportant — to what becamea 19-game win streak or Kan-sas volleyball on that Wednes-day night.

It’s Marlene Mawson.“Tey’re not good,” Mawson

said, looking onto the court.“Tey’re antast ic.”

For most o the match,

Mawson, who is consideredthe mother o women’s ath-letics at Kansas, sat with her

fingers locked in her lap, with

a quiet comment or criticismo the game here or there ev-ery so ofen. She twiddles herthumbs — maybe a sign othe investment she has in theteam.

She breaks her olded handsto join in the applause withthe 1,520 people in atten-dance. But, even then, herhands seem to end up back inher lap, her thumbs fidgeting.

Mawson knows what it’s liketo be in the position Bechardis today; she’s been there. Inact, she might be the reasonit exists.

“She got women’s athleticsoff the ground here,” Bechardsaid. “She just gave emales achance to compete.”

In 1968, Mawson was taskedwith establishing an inter-collegiate women’s sportsprogram at the University oKansas with a budget o only$2,000 per year to cover orsix sports. Tat $2,000 cov-ered equipment, uniormsand travel, and comes toabout $13,675, accountingor inflation. So, on top o herphysical education aculty po-sition, Mawson was suddenlycoaching our women’s sports— volleyball among them.

“We did not have floods o

money, so a lot o the people

who were coaching wouldcoach two or three or oursports,” said Kerry Kaper,who played or Mawson inthe early 1970s and is in theKansas Volleyball AssociationHall o Fame or her effortsat Shawnee Heights over 26years. “Without her, I reallydon’t know what would havehappened at KU.”

Mawson coached the vol-leyball team or five years andalso contributed to buildingwomen’s basketball, sofballand field hockey programs.Ten, even though on a much

smaller budget and with ewerresources, the programs weremuch different.

When Kaper played orMawson, the team traveledin station wagons and playedin generic uniorms. Now, ithas hotels, identifiable Adi-das-sponsored uniorms, andcharter busses or — on occa-sion — planes. Mawson wasmajor player in that transi-tion, especially beore she lefthe University in 1990.

“For all the things that weget rom the standpoint oAdidas, and travel, and op-portunities, we should lookback at those that didn’t haveanything and still competed

because they loved the sport,”Bechard said.

“It’s exciting to just to see thechanges in sports or womenover the last 40 years,” Kapersaid. “It’s a different world,and it’s better. It’s really theway it should be.”

Mawson said she has beenimpressed with the way wom-en’s athletics has shifed in

the 40 years, too, and Kansas volleybal l is a beacon o thatchange.

“It’s incredible that not only volleybal l but all o women’ssports have the opportunitiesthey have nowadays,” Mawsonsaid. “Tat wasn’t always so.”

Few teams — i any — canrival 19 consecutive wins atKansas, especially in the shorthistory o women’s sports.Mawson was quick to deflectthe attribution o that prog-

ress to Joan Wells, who was

Vitter discusses progress on “Bold Aspirations”goals before becoming chancellor at Mississippi

LARA KORTE@lara_korte

Jeffrey Vitter, the currentprovost and executive vicechancellor at the University oKansas, will move to becomethe chancellor or the Univer-sity o Mississippi in January.

Vitter was named chancelloro the University o Mississip-pi on Tursday by the CollegeBoard o rustees. Starting inJanuary, Vitter will move toMississippi and be ormallyintroduced as chancellor inFebruary.

Vitter has been at the Univer-sity since 2010 and has workedprimarily on developing and

implementing a new strategicplan, “Bold Aspirations.”

According to Vitter, the planwas developed afer an analy-sis o the University’s stand-ings among other institutions.Vitter said that rom the very

beginning, the plan was aboutdeveloping a shared vision owhere the University needs togo.

“Te community reallystepped orward and tookthis as a challenge that this isa time we want to really movethe University orward,” Vittersaid.

Te first goal o the strategicplan was to “strengthen therecruitment, teaching, andmentoring to prepare under-graduate students or lielonglearning, leadership and suc-cess.” Tis goal eventually led

to the development o the Uni- versity’s core curriculum and arenewed ocus on experientiallearning opportunities.

According to Vitter, courseredesign has been a major ac-tor in working towards thesestrategic goals.

“It’s all about making thecourses more engaged andmoving them rom just a mas-sive lecture ormat, which isnot very exciting or engagingto students, to using technol-ogies in novel ways that theclass can ocus on importantinteraction,” Vitter said.

Since the implementationo the new core curriculum,Vitter said the University hasbeen working on something

called “flipped classrooms,” inwhich students are involvedin online modules they can bequizzed on at home, providingproessors with eedback orareas students need help in.

“It gives the proessor theability to really tune the classor maximum effect,” Vittersaid.

Te University has rede-signed 50 to 60 courses sincethe initiative began and theyare hoping to be part o theGates Foundation effort to o-er flipped classes at a muchlarger scale, according to Vit-

ter. Tere will be around 15University partners who willwork to offer such classes, and,i all goes well, Vitter expects

the program to begin in 2017.Vitter said one o the goals

o the strategic plan was toincrease retention and gradu-ation rates among undergrad-uates. In the last ew years, thegraduation rate has hoveredaround 60 percent. Vitter sayswith the new plan, he expectsthose numbers to rise to 70percent by the end o the de-cade, or at least soon afer.

Vitter said he expects the newprovost to oversee the continu-ation o “Bold Aspirations” aswell as other projects under-taken by the University.

According to Vitter, the cam-pus is undergoing one o thebiggest inrastructure remod-els in its history.

Over the next three years,students will see new additionsto campus, including an EarthEnergy and EnvironmentalCenter building, a remodeledBurge Union, an art lab andresearch acility, a new park-ing lot, a power plant, a newresidence hall and a graduate

 village, Vitter said.Vitter said these new inra-

structures are key to establish-ing the University’s reputation

as an educational leader.“We cannot be a flagship uni-

 versity i our science acilitiesare not truly top notch,” Vitter

said. “Frankly, i we waited anylonger, those acilities couldbecome dangerous.”

Senior Vice Provost o Aca-demic Affairs Sara Rosen willbe handling provost dutieswhile a search committee isormed to find a replacement.Vitter called Rosen a “keyplayer in a host o importantinitiatives dealing with un-dergraduate curriculum,” andsaid Rosen could very well be acandidate or provost; howev-er, no ormal candidate searchhas begun.

Vitter said he expects that

they will be bringing final can-didates to campus by the endo spring semester.

Although Vitter said he isready to start his position aschancellor o the Universityo Mississippi, he said he hasgreat respect and admirationor the University o Kansasand its administration.

Te University announcedon Tursday that KU Endow-ment raised $184.6 millionduring the 2015 fiscal year, a48 percent increase rom the$124.1 million raised duringthe fiscal year 2014.

KU Endowment PresidentDale Seuerling said much othe reason or the increase inunding came as a result o theconstruction work occurringthis year around campus.

“Tat is the largest growtharea, and that will be the caseor another one, two or threeyears,” Seuerling said.

Seuerling also cited FarAbove: Te Campaign orKansas — which goes throughJune 30, 2016 — as a drivingorce in increasing undrais-ing totals.

“With these high-profile

projects that have clear goalsand objectives, donors aremore attracted to give gifs,”he said. “Te increased sup-port is a direct outcome othat.”

According to the release, infiscal year 2015, KU Endow-ment “provided unding orseveral new major acilities,

including Capitol FederalHall, the DeBruce Centerand Marie S. McCarthy Hall.Private unds also paid orthe renovation o SwarthoutRecital Hall as well as land-scaping or the reconstructiono Jayhawk Boulevard. Fundsalso enhanced patient care,research opportunities, thearts, and library and museumacquisitions.”

KU Endowment raises mon-ey through a combination oendowed permanent unds,undraising campaigns andprevious donor contributions,

Seuerling said. He said a largeportion o the $184.6 milliondirectly impacted students

and proessors

“A lot o the available $184million went toward scholar-ships, ellowships, proessors’

salaries proessorships and

program expenses like traveland conerences,” Seuerlingsaid.

When ormer kicker andholder or the Kansas ootballteam Austin Barone receivedhis irst playbook, he was as-tonished at the ormat o theinormation.

“[he coaches] gave usthese big three-ring binders;they were probably eight to10 pounds o paper, and it

 just didn’t make sense to me,"Barone said. "We live in adigital age now. Everythingis moving to cloud-basedsystems. I coaches plannedsomething at night, why theyshouldn’t be able to push t hatto us instantly?”

Inspired by his time on theKansas ootball team, thesenior rom Pittsburg, Kan.,majoring in inance and ac-counting, developed the appand company Just Play SportsSolutions in an eort tomodernize the way coachesdeliver inormation to theirathletes.

he app allows coaches todeliver inormation and theplaybook to players in a or-mat most conducive to thestudent’s learning style. heapp is being used by vari-ous high schools as well asthe Kansas men’s basketballteam.

he idea was initially de- veloped as a part o an ap-

plication oran internshipwith Google orwhich Baroneapplied. He wasasked to writea 300-word es-say in which hecreated an ideaand then builton it. Drawingrom his expe-rience as a Di-

 vision I athlete,Barone came up with the app.hough he did not receivethe internship, he said he’sgained ar more rom theproject.

Barone will be one o ourcollege students to presentto thousands o people anddistinguished judges as aeatured entrepreneur at thePipeline Innovator o theYear event Jan. 21 at the Mid-land heatre in Kansas City,Mo.

his is the irst year Pipe-line will highlight student

entrepreneurs. he programhas been developing overthe past year as the compa-ny seeks to ind more waysto interact with its universitypartners.

As part o the event, Baroneand the three other students,who are rom the Universityo Nebraska, University oMissouri and WashingtonUniversity, will receive men-toring rom established Pipe-

line entrepreneurs prior totheir presentations. Baronewill work with Kyle Johnsonand Dave Young, both owhom are entrepreneurs whohave worked with tech com-panies in the past.

“[he students have] al-ready won," Pipeline CEOJoni Cobb said. "hey are theeatured entrepreneur romtheir university that the uni-

 versity wants to brag aboutand highlight."

Beore working with thePipeline entrepreneurs, eachstudent irst won a compe-

tition at their university. InBarone’s case, he competedagainst our other teams atthe University's Celebrationo Innovation.

Each student competing inthe Celebration o Innova-tion was part o he Catalyst,the University’s student busi-ness accelerator and a newbusiness incubator designedto help KU students devel-op and grow their business

ideas, according to its web-site. hrough involvementin Catalyst, Barone gainedaccess to mentoring, legaland accounting assistanceand capital to help grow hiscompany.

“It’s really a valuable experi -ence or us because we wereable to grow our companyand do the market researchand everything that neededto be done to make sure wehad that opportunity,” Bar-one said.

Wally Meyer, the director oEntrepreneurship Programs,

served as a mentor or Bar-one during the competition.

“Having a really good teamis the hallmark o a successulentrepreneurial venture [andBarone has] put together a

 very good team,” Director oEntrepreneurship ProgramsWally Meyer said.

Barone’s partner, AndyWachter, whose wie is Bar-one’s second cousin, was theengineer or Just Play Sports

Solutions. Wachter playedbasketball or Wichita Stateand Pittsburg State, and hisDivision I experience assist-ed in his ability to marketto coaches. Barone said thepartnership with Wachter hasbeen critical to the success othe company.

Barone is taking extra hoursthis semester in order tograduate in December andocus all his time into run-ning Just Play Sports Solu-tions.

“At the end o the day I haveto trust mysel that I’m going

to be able to handle it to getwhere I want, which is to runthis company," Barone said."he decision to not take anyinternships with a bankingirm or accounting irm andto really put all my troops onthis company I think is some-thing that has been an unbe-lievable experience."

As students begin to seethe end of their junior andsenior years of their collegecareer, they might be askedby potential employers,“Have you had any intern-ships?”

Some may doubt the valueof internships, especially ifthey aren't paid. However,an internship gives you

 valuable skil ls t hat you can’t

get in a book or classroom.Interning gives students

experience that helps themstand out when applyingfor jobs. After graduatingcollege, employers will wantto know that you are thebest possible candidate forwhatever job to which youare applying. Having previ-ous work experience beforeyou’ve even graduated gives

you an edge over those whohaven’t interned.

Additionally, interninghelps to build a network.Working with people helpsmake connections for futureemployment. According toInternships.com, graduatesgenerally have about a 7out of 10 chance of beinghired by the company theyinterned with.

College students tend to betight on money, so spend-ing time doing an unpaid

internship may seem lessappealing. But while notall internships are paid,they can open doors for jobopportunities in which youwill get paid. Certain oppor-tunities may not have beenpossible had you not donean internship. In fact, recentgraduates from KU whointerned in college make anaverage of $2,500 more a

year than those who didn’t,according to a UniversityCareer Center study.

If you’re like many othercollege students, you maynot have a concrete idea ofwhat you will do right afteryou leave college. An intern-ship can be a great way tohelp students discover whatthey like — and possiblywhat they don’t. It can beconsidered a trial run forthe “real world" where youlearn more about yourself

and what career will be agood match for you.Don’t underestimate the

 valu e of part icip ating inan internship, even if it’sunpaid. hey help preparepeople and provide invalu-able skills and experience.Having an internship,whether paid or not, isa great addition to yourrésumé.

Don’t look down on unpaid internships

ABBY PETRULIS@apetrulis

Despite the scary headlines, you don’t have tostop eating bacon and other processed meats

Te World Health Organiza-tion has recently reclassifiedprocessed meats as Group 1carcinogens, which meansthese meats are shown tocause cancer in human pop-ulations. But before you cutmeat out of your life, let’sdecode what that statementreally means.

he WHO’s guidelines canbe a little confusing. hegroups are classified onlyby data supporting whetheror not they are carcinogens,not how severe they are.

Items in Group 1 are con-

sidered definitely carcino-genic to humans, based onsupporting data. hings liketobacco and asbestos arenow in the same category asthese processed meats.

However, that doe sn’tmean that processed meat isas bad as tobacco — it justmeans that they are bothshown to be cancer-causingin some way. Red meat isnow classified in Group 2,

which means it is probablycarcinogenic in humans.

he next question youmight be wondering is:What exactly counts as pro-cessed meats?

he WHO refers to

processed meats as “meatsthat have been transformedthrough salting, curing,fermentation, smoking, orother processes to enhanceflavour or improve pres-ervation." hese meatsare incredibly common ineveryday life, so it can bealarming to read headlinesthat say bacon and hot dogscause cancer.

If you ask me, it is unnec-

essary to use that kind ofphrasing. Yes, the word “car-cinogen” does mean can-cer-causing, but it actuallyrequires a lot more exposureto cause cancer than peoplethink. he human body is

truly amazing. Bodies haveall kinds of innate mecha-nisms designed to stop can-cerous cells in their tracks.While sometimes thesemechanisms fail us, and thecancer cells are smarter, wemust remember that we aresurrounded by carcinogens.Even the sun can give uscancer.

he important takeawayfrom these new guidelines is

to remember that a healthylife is lived with everythingin moderation. his is notlife-changing informationfrom a health standpoint,as too much of these meatsare already unhealthy just

because of the fat, sodiumand caloric content.

It doesn’t mean don’t eatbacon. It doesn’t mean be-come a vegetarian. It shouldbe more of a warning to beaware of what you’re puttingin your body.

With everything in mod-eration, you can live a longhealthy life — and still eatbacon.

I like to think of

multiple choice testsas, “Choose your

own adventure,” but

for some reason

my professor really

prefers I answer aparticular way.

Earlier this week, an OliverHall resident saw no otherway out but to take his lifein his dorm room. No onenoticed for days.

Days.his is incredibly difficult

to process. But for a lot ofpeople, the idea of mentalhealth problems doesn’tcome up in life until ithappens, sometimes untilit’s too late.

We can paint a rosy pictureof the state of mental health— the stigma of mentalillness is decreasing, people

are more comfortable seek-ing mental health care —but that is clearly not alwaysthe case. he reality is thatit is a serious problem thatcan mean the differencebetween life and death, onethat demands an incred-ibly serious and focusedresponse.

In a statement, ChancellorBernadette Gray-Little and

the University of Kansassaid nothing about thisstudent’s decision to take

his own life. He did notpassively die.“We are deeply saddened

to learn of the death of oneof our students,” Gray-Littlesaid. “On behalf of the en-tire KU community, I offermy sincere condolences to[the student’s] family andfriends as they mourn thisheartbreaking loss. We wishthem comfort during thisdifficult time.”

Gray-Little had no morethan a couple of sentencesabout a student who chosesuicide. She had an oppor-

tunity and a platform toaddress the issue of mentalhealth on campus.

But she didn’t.In most cases, the wait

for an appointment at theUniversity’s Counseling andPsychological Ser vices, orCAPS, is weeks.

Weeks.hat is too late for some-

one who feels that suicideis an answer. And it’s been

a problem for at least a yearand a half. hat is unaccept-able.

he University also has aPsychological Clinic, butSarah Kirk, who operatesthe clinic, said it sees fewerpeople than CAPS. In Au-gust, Kirk said that duringthe busiest times of the year,which is usually around theend of the term, the wait foran appointment can be upto three months.

Months.he onus should not be on

someone who needs help toseek it out — we must makean effort to bring the helpto them. But when that sort

of structure isn’t supportedby the University, whenthere are so many barri-ers — physical, emotional,knowledge, financial — t hatcan keep people from get-ting mental health care, weeach have a responsibility todo something.

It’s not only the Universityadministration that needs torespond. It’s the entire KUcommunity.

And we must respondright now.

Sometimes we might feel

as if there is a distance be-tween us and everyone elseon a 30,000-person campus.It’s easy to feel like it’s im-possible to become part ofthis place. o someone whofeels alone, you might be yetanother person who didn’tsay hello at the Under-ground or on the bus.

he first few weeks offreshman year are confus-ing, overwhelming, difficult,and often not reflective ofthe college experience as awhole. If you’re an upper-classman, try to remember

how it felt to be new andwithout the support systemyou’ve known all your life.

But the first few weeksare when we start to buildconnections to campus —maybe only one at first, andmore as the year progresses.It’s this time especially whenit’s so important to includeeach other, to acknowledgesomeone else when yousee them — to be a decent

person.You don’t need to st art a

movement. Just be there,

and reach out. Send a mes-sage on social media. Smilein the hallway.

It’s easy to assume some-one else will step up andtake action. But nothing willchange if everyone thinksthis way.

his week is not an isolat-ed event. his talk shouldnot go away. People aremaking promises on socialmedia or to each other thatthey’ll be there for one an-other. Keep those promisestoday, a week from now, ayear from now.

For a lifetime.

When Sarah O’Keeffe, a se-nior rom Boulder, Colo., anddancer with the UniversityDance Company, walked intoauditions or Todos DanceChicago, she had a knot in herstomach.

O’Keeffe knew all about the

Todos Dance Chicago compa-ny’s reputation and how selec-tive it was when it came downto choosing members rom theUniversity’s dance group. Ten,the news came: She made thecut.

“I knew that it would be astrenuous process and very se-lective when it came time orthem to pick members o theUniversity Dance Company,”O’Keeffe said. “Teir dancingis really beautiul to watch, andthey have really strong, power-ul dancers, but there is a sub-tlety about their movements

that captures your attention.”She said she eels “very appre-

ciative” that she was chosen tobe a part o the show because itis such a big deal.

Todos Dance Chicago is cur-rently on tour, but will be per-orm with the University DanceCompany on Nov. 7 at 7:30p.m. at the Lied Center.

Te company was ounded 23years ago and, according to itsmission statement, it strives “topromote contemporary danceas a cultural activity in the lo-cal community and through-out the United States throughperormance, creation o newworks, and education (includ-ing audience development).”

“I think their dances are real-ly in synch with their bodies aswell as each other, but they alsodance really powerully indi-

 vidually,” O’Keeffe said.O’Keeffe, who is the Universi-

ty Dance Company’s president,is working to receive her bach-

elor’s de ree in dance She said

she enjoys the emotional aspecto the company. O’Keeffe hasbeen dancing since she was twoyears old.

“I ell in love with the art orm[but] it was a challenge or me,”O’Keeffe said. “I wanted to tryto perect it even though that’snot really technically possible.”

Te training or this piece wasintense, she said. Once cast-ed, Laura Gates, the Todosrehearsal director, practiced

with the selected dancers eachnight, Sunday through Turs-day, rom 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. ortwo weeks in October. Teserehearsals consisted o the castlearning all o the choreogra-phy, staging it and working toperect the movement.

“Her rehearsals were veryrigorous and physically taxing;however, very well worth all othe effort,” O’Keeffe said. “Shewas an incredible director towork with.”

Te perormance will include“A Light in the Dark,” “Subtle

Passages,” and “Memories.” Teshow will close with a humor-ous piece titled “All You NeedIs.”

In “A Light in the Dark,” a sto-ry about Helen Keller and AnneSullivan, the dancers on stageglide around in a circle holdinghands. Te dancers represent-ing Keller and Sullivan sit onthe stage while Sullivan hands adoll to Keller, her arms movingin a wide circle as she takes thedoll into her arms.

Te dancers move in syncwith leaps and twirls that capti-

 vate the audience. Each dancer

has a moment in the spotlight, veering away rom the uniormgestures that create dynamicson stage, O’Keeffe said.

Tis contemporary peror-mance piece consists o sevenemale dancers and one maledancer. Audiences will see uni-fied movement structures aswell as individual and partner-ing phases, O’Keeffe said.

“Tere is a subtle strength tothis piece in that it is extremely

high intensity, yet it is done in asof and beautiul way,” O’Kee-e said. “However, there is alsoa dynamic o sharpness as well.”

“Subtle Passages” is a dancecreated by ounder o the dancecompany, Melissa Todos.

Todos, who is rom Evan-ston, Ill., began dancing ata young age and continuedthroughout high school. Sheattended Skidmore College inSaratoga Springs, N.Y., whereshe double majored in danceand English.

She started the dance compa-

ny afer she realized she had thebackground and ability to teachand choreograph at the sametime. She said dance helped hergrow, and she wanted to createan environment that allowedother people to grow as well.

Tat’s just what Todos is orO’Keeffe, who said she plansto start auditioning or proes-sional companies in the spring.She said she eels dancing withTodos at the University willgive her an edge when it comesto looking or a job afer col-lege.

Because Todos Dance Chi-

cago is so well known, it willbe helpul to have a prestigiouscompany on her resume andthe experience expands herproressional dance connec-tions, O’Keeffe said.

Todos said she hopes theemotional layer o their peror-mance resonates with the audi-ence at the University.

“It’s always my hope that theaudience leaves eeling verymuch reached and touched,

not only rom the dancing andperorming, but also rom theemotion behind the dancingand perormance,” Todos said.

While every company hastheir own style, being mod-ern and athletic makes To-dos Dance Chicago different.Todos said they also go intothe theater realm, which al-lows them to stand out as well.Te company currently has 12members, and its dance style iscategorized as contemporary.

Todos said she continues tostrive to make her company

better by planning and think-ing about the needs o the art-ists and the organization.

“We want our audience to eelour passion or dance and wewant to share that with them,”Todos said.

Natural change and progres-sion is a running theme or artistand University art proessor Mi-chael Krueger, both in his workand teaching methods.

Krueger’s art is a compilationo colors, ranging rom bold topastel-like. His designs play withtexture and a combination onatural and synthetic materials.In his hometown o Sioux Falls,S.D., Michael Krueger said heknew he wanted to be an artistat a very young age. He grew uparound artists.

His ather was an artist and anactivist in the American IndianMovement who advocated ornative’s rights. His home wasofen visited by people withunique visions o art and theworld around them.

“I was exposed to a communi-ty o ree thinkers, radicals andriends o my dad,” Krueger said.

Krueger experiments in vari-ous styles, but his classes special-ize in drawing and printmaking.Employing ink, colored pencils,

acrylics, gesso, lithography anda wealth o other art styles, hehas a vast collection o work thathas been showcased in recep-tion rooms across the UnitedStates. His art has also been ex-posed and enriched during histravels throughout the world.

When he entered into theUniversity o South Dakota, heknew he wanted to be an artistand first threw his passions intostudying photography. He lovedcapturing images o nature andaspects o the real world aroundhim.

“I like the adventure o going

out into the world to take pic-tures,” Krueger said. “Tere wasthis one time me and my riendtook pictures o carnies at a car-nival in town and they chasedus down to get the camera back.Tey didn’t want their picturestaken.”

While in college, however, heound that his passion in the artswas sorely tested. During thesummer o his reshman year,he decided to work in a photog-raphy studio. In the time he was

there, he grew tired o the nar-row creative confines that thework imposed on him, he said.

“[Photography] suddenly be-came work with very little cre-ative reedom,” he said. “Teyalways put me in the dark room,and I ofen had to take pictureso people with their yachts.”

Te ollowing year, he droppedall o his classes without a clue owhat to do next.

‘“As I was wandering down thehallway, a grad student came upto me and said, ‘You need to takeprintmaking,’” Krueger said.

From that point on, he took various classes in lithographyand said he ell in love with theprocess and the similar techni-cal aspects it had, like photog-raphy.

Lithography is an art processthat uses a stone as a base. Anartist can use ink on a greasedimage on a piece o lithograph-ic limestone. Te rejection omoisture can craf an image thatcan then be pressed on a piece opaper.

“I was able to have success inthe printmaking process andutilize technical skills that be-

came enmeshed in my ideas,”Krueger said. “It empowered meto go to other mediums and dothe same thing.”

Afer getting his undergrad-uate degree, he moved on tothe University o Notre Dameand got his graduate degrees inprintmaking, drawing and pho-tography.

Krueger has drawn inspirationrom different sources through-out the years. When he first

started out, he drew rom hispersonal experiences. He saidhe is greatly intrigued by top-ics relating to dream analysis,surrealism and the psychologistSigmund Freud.

oday his inspirations haveexpanded to topics relating toAmerican history, revisionisthistory, contemporary Ameri-can culture, art history and per-

sonal memoir.Te artist’s vast and varied col-

lection displays scenes o natureplaced in the vastness o emptyspace. He recreates amiliar im-ages with different colors andtemplates that makes the viewertake something different awayrom its original subject.

He said he’s also inspired byanother artist’s work, “TePlough and the Song” by Ar-shile Gorky, which primarilyresides in the Art Institute oChicago. Te work is composedo odd lines and mysteriousorganic orms that share a con-

nection that carries differentmeanings to the viewer.

Krueger admits that he hasofen visited this painting at di-erent points in his lie, manag-ing to take something new romit each time.

“Te painting never changesbut I change. I bring new expe-riences to the painting,” Kruegersaid.

Tis theme o growth and ex-ploration has characterized Mi-chael Krueger’s artistic career.

For Krueger, there is no real lim-it to what artists can produce inthe artwork as long as it comesrom a place o true authenticity.

“Tere is this idea o progres-sion and change in the studio.I’m always pushing mysel tosee what I can do next,” Kruegersaid. “For instance, I had a re-cent show in Boston composedo abstract painting. When I

first started out I never thought Iwould do abstract art. You don’tknow what you will do later inlie so don’t limit yoursel.”

Krueger doesn’t only applythis to his own work. He alsotries to push this in his teaching.Troughout his teaching career,he has ound another well o in-spiration rom his students. Hesaid he’s ascinated in the waythey approach art and the solu-tion they come up with, he said.

“It’s interesting to see all theinnovative ways [my students]have or solving problems thathave no right or wrong answers,”

Krueger said.Krueger’s teaching methods

lef an impression on several ohis students.

Mark Hosord, an associateproessor at Vanderbilt Univer-sity and ormer student, saidKreuger was instrumental in hiscreative growth. Hosord firstmet Krueger in his third year oundergraduate study at the Uni-

 versity in 1995.“I have always been impressed

and transfixed with Michael’s

art,” Hosord said. “He contin-ues to be an artist that I lookat or inspiration and one whoconstantly engages me. His arthas changed a lot since I firstmet him in 1995, which eachnew step breaking new ground.Troughout all o these chang-es, a strong authenticity is whatlinks them all together.”

Hosord said Krueger’s influ-

ence had greatly impacted hisartistic interests and his careerpath.

Hosord said Kreuger was“without a doubt” the most in-fluential teacher he had.

“He came to KU at a criticaltime or me,” he said. “He wasthe first art proessor whom Ielt really understood my back-ground and the visual vocabu-lary I grew up with.”

He also said Kreuger was thefirst instructor to teach him howto think critically about his artand how to use subjects moreeffectively.

“Instead o just banning merom working in particularstyles I was interested in, whichmany art proessors did at thattime, he would instead encour-age me and push me to make my ideas and techniques stronger,”he said.

On Friday, ESPN announcedthat its sports and pop culturewebsite, Grantland, would beshut down or good.

Gone with an order rom thesuits in charge.

I’m not going to talk aboutthe last six months that thebest staff on the Internet hadto endure.

Instead, I want to talk aboutwhy this is an incredibly sadday or journalism and whatGrantland changed in theminds o so many people.

Bill Simmons has beendifferent since the start o

his career in the late 1990s.He revolutionized the sportscolumn by taking it out o thelocker rooms, where jour-nalist ask questions that leadto player talk 90 percent othe time, and moved it insidebars, where riends were dis-cussing players they hated andloved. He was one o the firstwriters to be exclusively onthe Internet, and he was out inront o the podcast revolutionby starting the B.S. Report inthe mid 2000s.

So it came as no surprisethat when Grantland launched

that it would be different thananything we had seen beore.

Grantland took a pool owriters, both established and

unestablished, and put themin a place where they couldwrite the things that wereimportant to them. RembertBrowne could write aboutwho won the year, WesleyMorris could rip into "ed2," and Zach Lowe could talkabout court designs in theNBA during the offseason.

Tere was truly importantwork done at Grantland.Browne went to Ferguson,Mo., and he didn’t simplyreport on what was happen-ing — he wrote about why the

moment mattered so muchand what it meant to him andthe black community.

Louisa Tomas wrote aboutdomestic violence in the NFLmore eloquently than anyoneelse did when it was the big-gest topic in sports.

Some o it wasn’t so import-ant, but it was a whole loto un. Part o the staff did awhole week o pieces on theNBA Developmental League,which was amazing or threepeople other than mysel.

But, at the end o it all, Irealize that whether or not

the work was important in thegrand scheme o the world,the conversations were.

Reading a piece by Wesley

Morris was like talking tothe smartest guy in the roomwho you could only hal-un-derstand, but you desired tounderstand more. Seeing whatJason Concepcion could doto top himsel in the humordepartment was a dailyoccurrence. Listening to AndyGreenwald talk music withJack Antonoff and BrandonFlowers was some o the mostun I’ve ever had.

Grantland was a websitethat dared to be different.o take the old school out o

 journalism and reinvent thewheel was no small task, andit came with hiccups. But 99percent o the time they gotit right and knocked it out othe park.

Never again will we see astaff quite like Grantland’s,and never again will wesee coverage like we sawrom those writers. It was arisk-taker rom the beginning,and it never let go o that. Asan aspiring writer, I can onlyhope to be hal as good as thewriters they assembled. Somepeople are just really damn

good at this, and Simmonsand crew managed to findthem all.

Grantland will orever be the

place that I and so many other

young writers were changedby. It will always be the placewe talk about in the uturewhen we look back on why

we do what we do, and it wi ll

always be the type o place wecrave to work at.

Tanks, Grantland. It was aun our years.

Veterans lead Kansas women’s basketball to80-54 exhibition win against Pittsburg State

Rogers: Grantland’s end marks a sad day for journalismJARRET ROGERS@JarretRogers

DYLAN SHERWOOD@dmantheman2011

Opening the season with abrand new coach is a changeor the Kansas women’s basket-ball team. Te first game o theprogram was a transition withnew coach Brandon Schneider.On Sunday, Schneider's first

game was against a amiliar oehe saw during his time at Em-poria State — Pittsburg State.Kansas won 80-54.

Kansas would make six o itsfirst 10 attempts rom three-point range. Te returning

players led Kansas in juniororward Caelynn Manning-Al-len and sophomore guard Lau-ren Aldridge. Aldridge ledKansas with 21 points, whileManning-Allen collected adouble-double, posting 12points and 11 rebounds.

“Tere will be times wherewe will make some mistakes,

quite rankly your lack o ex-perience, but hopeully we willbe intelligent enough to learnrom them,” Schneider said.

Kansas trailed by our withinthe first our minutes o thegame but got a boost with athree-point range barrage with

back-to-back-to-back threes;first rom reshman guardAisia Robertson, ollowed byreshman guard Kylee Ko-patich and capped off by Al-dridge.

Te 9-0 run was one o twoor the Jayhawks in the quar-ter, as Kansas went 5-o-7 romlong range afer one quarter.

Pittsburg State made thingsinteresting heading into thesecond quarter only trailingby eight points. Te Gorillasgot within two points late inthe quarter and outscored theJayhawks by our in the quar-ter. Pittsburg State's deficit was

only 39-35 at halfime.“I was not happy at all with

how we deended in the sec-ond quarter,” Schneider said.

Schneider wanted a response,and the team answered imme-diately.

Another three-point runstarted the third quarter withback-to-back threes by Al-

dridge. Kansas took controlo the second hal with its de-ense, keeping Pittsburg Stateat 22.2 percent shooting in thethird quarter.

Kansas would have another9-0 run late in the ourth quar-ter to pull away with the game.

Schneider said he liked theway the team played withthe new ormat o the our10-minute quarters instead othe two 20-minute halves.

“I didn’t see any big issues, wehung on to them or the mostpart, no scenarios to move theball up," Schneider said. "Tebiggest challenge or me was

trying to find the oul count onthe scoreboard."With one game under its belt,

the team seems confident witha new coaching staff.

“We have confidence in eachother and we trust in [Schnei-der], just what he does and

how we respond to it,” Kopa-tich said.

Up next

Kansas will take on DivisionII preseason No. 1 EmporiaState. Schneider said he thinksthat the Hornets are a mid-ma-

 jor Division I team instead o a

Division II team because o theexperience Emporia State has.“We played a really good

team in Pittsburg State. Wewill get a different challengenext week against EmporiaState,” Schneider said.

Te amous double-deckerbuses weren’t the only thingsthat were red in London thisweekend. Te Kansas CityChies aced off against theDetroit Lions on Sunday,

earning a 45-10 victory.One o the biggest catalystsin the Chies’ victory wasquarterback Alex Smith, whodominated the Lions with hislegs to the tune o 71 meters(or 78 yards) and a touch-down on the ground.

Shades of his time at

Smith was also extremelyeffective through the air, as hecompleted 18 o 26 passes or145 yards and two touch-downs. Most importantly,Smith rarely looked flusteredand showed confidence insome o his decisions. Tis is

an encouraging developmentor Smith, who will need tokeep stepping up his play ithe Chies hope to somehowgrab a wild card spot in theplayoffs.

In addition to Smith’s pro-duction on the ground, theChies running backs had agood day. Charcandrick Westrushed 20 times or 97 yardsand scored a touchdown.Running backs Spencer Wareand De’Anthony Tomasscored one touchdown apieceor the Chies. Tey’ll need tokeep finding creative ways toreplace the production o starrunning back Jamaal Charles,who is out or the remaindero the season due to a tornACL.

The #Chiefs have 191

For the second game ina row, the Chies deenseabsolutely starred. Te deensesacked Detroit quarterback

Matthew Stafford six times.Tey also managed to inter-cept Stafford twice and heldthe Lions’ superstar receiverCalvin Johnson to 85 yards,only allowing him to catchfive o his 10 targets.

In the end, the Chies need-ed a victory like this. Afera 1-5 start that had the teamlooking dead in the water,Kansas City has rattled offtwo straight victories headinginto the bye week. Te teamfinally seems to be playingup to preseason expectations,showing efficiency on offenseand domination on deense.

Kansas City has even moreo an opportunity to rattle offsome more wins heading intothe final stretch o the season.Some o the final opponentsthat the Chies will have toace include: Denver, SanDiego, Buffalo, Oakland, Bal-timore and Cleveland. Tose

teams have a combined record

is a strong possibility that theChies could actually competeor a playoff spot near the endo the season.

Granted, there is a lot oootball to be played. But with

the Chies playing their best

ootball over the past twoweeks, it is not entirely outo the realm o possibility orKansas City to potentiallyfinish the season with betweennine and 11 wins, whichshould theoretically open upthe possibility o some post-season ootball.

Unlike its ootball counter-parts that lost on homecom-ing to Oklahoma, the Kansasswimming team let the CUcampus victorious by a scoreo 178-119. It was Kansas’irst Big 12 meet o the sea-

son and irst away meet.Kansas traveled to Fort

Worth, exas and back toLawrence in the same day,covering approximately 1,000miles both ways.

“oday we embraced thechallenge o lying downhere the day-o,” coach ClarkCampbell said in a KU Ath-letics news release. “heteam really got into the chal-lenge o it and I think weproved that it doesn’t matterwhat comes at them that theywill go and get it.”

Although the score was

close, Kansas dominatedits hosts, winning 12 o 16events, including the 200-yard individual medley, the200-yard medley relay, andthe 100-yard breaststroke.

Junior Yulduz Kuchkarovamade her irst appearanceor Kansas ater being absentrom last weekend’s meetsagainst Denver and MissouriState. Kuchkarova won twoevents as a member o Kan-sas’ A relay team in the 200-yard medley relay, and the400-yard reestyle relay. Shealso won the 100-yard back-stroke.

Sophomore MadisonStraight rom Fort Worth,exas won two events: the200-yard individual medleyand the 200-yard backstroke.

Kansas saved some o itsbest work or the back endo the meet. In the inalevent, Kansas’ A relay team

the coach at Lawrence HighSchool or 27 years. Wells led

the team to 15 state titles afershe graduated rom Kansas in1971 — the year itle IX wentinto place.

Maybe it was all o them.From Wells and Mawson toBechard and his assistantcoach Laura Kuhn. Even Be-chard and the women on hisroster today have helped getKansas to this point. Bechard,at least, has built to this point.

“Look at the banners,” Kap-

er said, sitting to the right oMawson and pointing across

to the west side o the gym.“’12, ’13, ’14… ’15! ’16!”

Tat’s just the thing: evenBechard himsel has gone

a long way in building thesquad Kansas has now, whichMawson and Wells both say isthe best Kansas has had.

Mawson said sophomoresetter Ainise Havili is the bestsetter Kansas has ever had.Wells says junior deenderCassie Wait is one o the bestathletes Kansas has had in

 volleybal l — she was All-Met-ro in track or two years inhigh school and was a letter

winner in basketball.Yet, there are intangibles

that Bechard has brought, too.Kaper, Wells and Mawson

have all seen it and acknowl-edge it as the reason Kansasmade it through 19 gameswithout a loss. Mawson calledit team unity, Wells calledit consistency and Kapercapped it off.

“Tat team’s chemistry, thatcommunication, it’s a rarething,” Kaper said. “Every-body has worked as hardas they can, but sometimesthere’s that extra special in-

gredient… It’s magical whenthat happens, and this teamhas it.”

Mawson thought the Jay-

hawks could win 20 in a row,i the circumstances wereright when the team went toAustin. Tose circumstancesdidn’t align; the streak end-ed at 19. Te Jayhawks wonmatch 20 two tries later tobecome the astest team inschool history — or, maybesince Mawson started wom-en’s athletics — to get to 20.

When the Jayhawks go on toset more records and make a

run at the Big 12 title, Mawsonwill be there. Hands crossed,sitting among a group o Kan-sas volleyball hall o amers,

with an occasional whistle,cheer, or slight comment atthe reerees.

“Everybody has their livesgoing on, but sports and vol-leyball are the thread thatweaves everybody,” Kap-er said. “She is a devotee…Tank goodness or her.”

CHRISTIAN HARDY@ByHardy

Kansas football gradecard and notes

C+

D-

Quarterback Ryan Willis

Willis is more a characterization of the offense than anything. Right

now he’s fine, and he’s not the problem on the offensive end, but he’sthe face of a team that only put seven points and 216 yards on the

board this week.

That’s not exactly optimal, but there’s a lot more beyond his stat-line.

He was sacked five times this week and tackled for a loss six other

times. None of his three running backs averaged over 2.5 yards per

carry. His receivers dropped five passes and probably should have

caught a few others.

All of that is leading to mediocre stat lines from Willis, but he’s still

not doing too bad under center, especially for a freshman.

Run game

The Jayhawks have surpassed 70 rushing yards in a game only once

since rushing for 479 yards through the first two weeks of the season.

It didn’t get any better in this game, as Kansas rushed for 35 yards on

36 carries.

The running backs combined for 28 carries for 62 yards — just over

two yards per carry. All the while, Oklahoma averaged 6.5 yards per

carry against Kansas.

There’s no lead back for Kansas right now, as senior starter De’Andre

Mann rushed 11 times in the game, senior Taylor Cox rushed 12 times,

and junior Ke’aun Kinner — who dominated to start the year — rushed

only five times.

There’s just no hierarchy, and no one seems to be performing up to

expectation. The blame for that can go on game flow, the offensive

line, or whatever else, but at the end of the day, the running backs

 just haven’t been impressive this year with the ball in their hands, save

for Kinner in the first two games. It’s made Kansas extremely one-di-

mensional and predictable, and something that has to change if the

Jayhawks want to win a game.

Offensive tackles

I was surprised with how freshman Clyde McCauley III did in his first

career start with junior left tackle Jordan Shelley-Smith sidelined.

McCauley had been moved around all year but finally got a chance

to start at the place where he was brought to Kansas to start at — left

tackle.

Larry Hughes, another freshman, did well opposite McCauley at right

tackle.“I thought we were handling protection pretty good initially in the

game,” said head coach David Beaty. “ I didn’t hear a lot about Clyde

throughout the game, which might be a good sign, but I got to take a

look at the tape to be able to tell you.”

That said, the interior line is where Beaty saw problems — including

the five sacks and unreliable run blocking — shine through. The young

offensive line has continued to be a weakness for Kansas, but against

the strong edge rushers of Oklahoma, I was impressed with the way the

freshmen played at tackle.

Defensive line

This line gets better every week; it’s starting to show why it was talk-

ed about as the strength of the team coming into the season.

While the depth isn’t tremendous, the starters are extremely talented

and continue to prove it. Senior Ben Goodman has been a consistent

force on the edge. Freshman Dorance Armstrong picked up two sacks

in this game and has stepped into an expanded role over the last

two weeks. Freshman Daniel Wise recorded another tackle-for-loss.

Together, they have created a defensive line that constantly pushed

Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield outside of the pocket and into trouble.

However, there were a few times where they were unable to finish

those sacks and Mayfield ended up burning the Jayhawks through the

air. On top of that, they were still part of the defense that was gauged

on the ground by all of the Sooners backs. That said, this unit is by far

the most improved this season, and the line is starting to find ways to

create real pressure.

Defensive backs

Mayfield passed for 383 yards and four touchdowns, and he made it

look easy on 27-of-32 passing. Then, when Oklahoma’s Trevor Knight

came in, he went 6-of-9 for 62 yards and a touchdown. Sterling Shep-

ard couldn’t be covered, even when he was double-teamed, and wentfor 183 yards on 11 carries.

There’s a reason for that: This secondary is just not very good, and

they are extremely inexperienced. The corners are still getting beat at

the line, which means they don’t have enough time to get their head

around on the ball when it comes flying their way. That either results in

them looking foolish or getting called for pass interference. They just

don’t have enough experience or talent at this point to compete with

the immense receiver talent in the Big 12.

Freshman Tyler Patrick

scored his first touch-

down of his career on a

17-yard grab to start the

second quarter. “When

he came to the sideline, I

thought he was going to

pass out,” Beaty said. “He

was screaming so loud,

so excited about getting

into the end zone. That

kid has steadily improved

… He just makes you play

him.”

Junior Safety Fish

Smithson notched his fifth

game with double-digit

tackles this season. He

came into the game as

the second leading tack-

ler in the Big 12. “We want

some stops there,” Beaty

said. “Fish did a good job

of being a guy that was

down there.”

Kansas has only beat

Oklahoma once since the

teams joined the Big 12.

The Sooners are 21-1. Kan-

sas hasn’t beat Oklaho-

ma since 1997 and hasn’t

defeated a ranked oppo-

nent in 21 tries.

Five true freshmen start-

ed for Kansas. Jacob

Bragg, who didn’t start

but played a majority of

the game, would have

been the sixth.

Junior Bazie Bates IV

came in and notched a

career-high eight tackles.

He was slotted in over se-

nior Michael Glatczak at

times.

Freshman Ryan Willis

had a surprise punt on a

fourth down in the first

half. The punt dribbled

out of bounds at Okla-

homa’s three-yard line.

It was the only punt to

land inside the opposing

team’s five-yard line for

Kansas this season until

Junior Matthew Wyman

dropped one in there late

in the game.

Oklahoma’s 710 yards

was the most by an op-

posing team since Baylor

had 743 in 2013.

Notes

une into the World Series onFOX, and you’re likely to see amiddle-aged man clad in brightorange sitting right behindhome plate. Makes sense, right?

Te Kansas City Royals areplaying the New York Mets,

whose colors are blue and or-ange. Except Laurence Leavy isa Florida Marlins an, not a Metsan, and he has been to morethan 80 World Series games.

What proession, you ask,gives one man enough money totravel around to sporting events,so many in act that he has beento an event nearly 99 percent odays since April?

He’s a lawyer.Leavy told ESPN’s Darren

Rovell that he spends aboutfive hours a day working romhis hotel room beore heading

out to the stadium. Leavy, who

owns a law firm with 47 employ-ees, has a job that is extremelytele-commuter riendly, leavinghim time to be at almost ev-ery major sporting event in theUnited States, which might aswell be a ull-time job.

But why does he do it? Doesn’the have a amily, kids or otherresponsibilities to take care o?

Te answer to the latter is no— he has no kids or wie. Teanswer to the ormer is a littlemore complicated.

He was diagnosed with livercancer in March, and it was pre-sumably time to start knockingthings off his bucket list.

Afer getting a second opinion,it was determined that Leavydidn't in act have liver cancer,

 just some scar tissue, he toldESPN. But the original diagno-sis alone was enough to starttruly enjoying lie.

Leavy isn’t just living the lie oevery sports an — he’s making

the dreams o others possible

in the process. He’s donated hisseats behind home plate in NewYork to charity instead sittingbehind the Royals dugout. Healso donated $10,000 to the am-ilies o two Kansas City firefight-ers killed in the line o duty, thenreplaced his Marlins visor withone that read “KCFD” in honoro the firefighters.

Te 59-year-old lawyer o-ten encourages his more than52,000 witter ollowers to “payit orward” in between stoppingor selfie afer selfie with whoev-er recognizes him throughoutthe day.

And people do recognize him.Te video game "MLB Te

Show" went so ar as to putLeavy in the stands at times ingame. Leavy is so popular, peo-ple are dressing up as “MarlinsMan” or Halloween, and heofen doesn’t make it to his seatuntil afer the game is underwaybecause people are running him

down outside the stadium.

Leavy’s ame has not comewithout it’s share o criticismand jealousy. Some criticizeLeavy or not doing enoughgood or being too selfish. Oth-ers say it’s disrespectul to theteams that are playing to weara Marlins jersey. o be air, he isas close to a Marlins billboard asyou can get.

But the Marlins won’t let himthrow out o the first pitch.

For whatever reason, it seemsthe Marlins are reluctant toembrace him. urning downthe idea o a “Marlins Man”bobblehead night, the Floridateam doesn’t even give Leavy theclothing he wears — he pays orhis gear out-o-pocket.

Laurence Leavy has become aolk hero at every sporting eventunder the sun. And, as the "Mar-lins Man" says, “Go Royals.”

Kansas soccer’s 1-1 drawagainst CU had a little bit oeverything or senior midfielder

Liana Salazar.Tough her last game at RockChalk Park was cold and soakedwith rain, she finished off a crossrom ellow senior Ashley Wil-liams with a strong header atthe back post. o make the nightbetter, Salazar’s mother was in at-tendance or just the second timein Salazar’s collegiate career. Withthe goal, Salazar was lifed to sec-ond on the program’s all-timescoring list.

“Personally it eels really goodto score in my last game,” Salazarsaid. “It eels amazing to be parto this great program. It’s so spe-

cial.”But one thing was missing or

the Jayhawks: an important re-sult. A 1-1 draw afer two over-time periods puts Kansas in sixthin the Big 12. Kansas coach MarkFrancis lamented a missed op-portunity.

“It was a bit disappointing,”Francis said. “In the first hal wewere all over them. We lost ourrhythm [in the second hal], Ithought they had the better o itin the second hal. [It was] dis-appointing, I think this is a gamewe clearly needed to win.”

Salazar’s goal put the Jayhawksahead 1-0 in the 31st minute.Salazar powered a header intothe net rom the back post aferWilliams sent a well-placed crossinto the box.

Te Jayhawks took control

toward the end o the first hal

in one o the most end-to-endgames o their season so ar.TeJayhawks edged the HornedFrogs six to three on shots athalfime, but the match ended17 shots to 16 in avor o the Jay-hawks.

Te Horned Frogs equalizedin the 57th minute as MichelleProko slid a through ball pastthe Kansas deense to orwardMcKenzie Oliver. Oliver chippedthe ball over Kansas goalkeeperMaddie Dobyns, who rushed outo her goal to cut out the pass.Dobyns made our saves on thenight beore leaving the matchdue to injury in the 84th minute.

Francis said his team wereorced to switch to a back linewith our deenders, away romthe team’s usual deense o threeplayers in the second hal to com-

bat CU’s switch to a three or

ward ormation. Tis led to CUearning eleven shots in the sec-ond hal to Kansas’ three.

“With the surace as wet as itis, we just didn’t eel comortablewith three at the back,” Francissaid. “[In the second hal,’] we

 just completely lost our rhythmI thought. But in overtime I

thought we were better again.”Kansas recorded eight shots to

CU’s three across both periodso overtime.

With the regular season overand Kansas in sixth in the Big12, the Jayhawks will head tothe Big 12 tournament in Kan-sas City, Kansas, where the team

will play the exas Longhornson Wednesday, Nov. 4. Te Jay-hawks lost 2-1 at home to theLonghorns on Oct. 2.

“We eel like that’s really goodmatchup or us,” Francis said.“We thought we were unortu-nate in that game and we’d loveto have another chance at them.”
