KU netters challenge experienced Oklahoma

For nine straight years, Big Eight tennis was spelled O-K-I-a-h-o-m-a.
That was until Missouri won the crown last year. Now the Sooners are bound and determined to get the trophy back in redclay country.
Through the years they've gained the reputation as winners who will do almost anything to continue their supremacy in conference tennis. And the OU team that beat Kentucky is matched with the year at 10 a.m. tomorrow on the Allen Field House court is no different.
"They play with a great deal of confidence," Kirkland Gates, KU's tennis coach, said yesterday. "They hate to lose. They scramble to win. They're scrappers."
"Their psychological warfare on the court is with the intent of beating you. They'll try to get them off the court, but we played them we played them we played them one, of their players stalled after a game and took his time over."
Gates does the sooner the Sooners' tactics to long as 'they play within the rules and don't
Oklahoma's strategy has worked against kU before. The Jaynavaks haven't beaten them yet.
Kansas lost to the Sooners only 5-4 earlier this season in Norma, OK.
"Our players now have some experience against stuff like they do," Gates said. "I think they (KU) feel they can win after losing. 5-1."
"Tm Haddiek (KU's No. 2 singles player) was very disappointed with the way he played on stage, and feels he can win against them. And the guys who won for us against them feel they can
Gates considers tomorrow's match the biggest meet so far this year.
"It's a big match for morale purposes," he said. "It could be a confidence builder for our team."
"OU beat OSU, the Big Eight favorite. If we beat Oklahoma then we will definitely be in a spotlight."
To knock off the Sooners, the Jayhawks,
1-8 this season, will have to play well from
the ground up.

Soccer ends home slate
But Gates isn't counting on Lockwood not playing. He knows how badly the Sooners

KU's soccer club makes its final home appearance of the season against Kansas State at 2 p.m. Sunday at Memorial Stadium.
The only other meeting between the two chair was last week for the Big Eight chairs.
From there, KU went on to capture the
Softball team to state tourney
The state qualifying tournament for the College World Series is in Hays this weekend, and if KU wins, it will be going to the Series for its fourth straight year.
The Series, which will be May 13 in
together some of the best
college, tournaments.
this is the weekend for which the KU softball team has worked and played.
The double-elimination qualifying tournament this weekend is open, meaning that any member of the Kansas Association will participate in collegiate Athletics for Women can participate.
However, only six teams will attend the tournament this year. They are all four teams from Division 1-KU, K-State, Wichita State and Ft. Hays State, and two teams from Division 2-Emporia State and Pittsburg.

Kansas . . .
Quarter-milers Randy Benson and Waddell Smith will try different events with Benson in the 200 meters and Smith in the long jump. Smith, who was fifth at the conference indoor meet last year, hasn't recorded a jump yet this year.
Freshman high jumper Steve Rainbolt will be using his long-legged stride to teammate Anthony Coleman in the 110 hurdles.
'I ran them in high school,' Rainbolt said, 'and I’ve got a lot faster since then. I’ve never had the same pain.'
Timmons said several athletes would be competing unattached, including former Bengal athlete Sakshi Paul, half-mile; and Kent McDonald, steeplechase. He also said that red-shirted high jumper Keith Guinn, who is recovering from injured right knee, would probably comet.
There also is speculation that KU sprinters Cliff Wiley and Kevin Newell, ineligible for violating NCAA rules, will compete unattached.
conference title, while K-State finished sixth.
Bernie Mullin, KU player-coach, said he concerned that the Jawlaws might not
"It's bound to be anti-climactic," Mullin said. "It'll be tough to get you. K-State is physical as bell, and I expect them to come out a lot more than they did last week."
K-State coach John Deichmann agreed that his team would be better prepared. In a telephone interview Tuesday, he said he thought the Wildcats were handicapped in the Big Eight championships because of their ballplayers and five freshmen starters.
He said he liked the Wildcats' chances this weekend.
Gale Sayers, assistant director of the Williams Fund at the University of Kansas and former star running back for the Chicago Bears, hasn't said anything to anybody at KU about leaving to work for "a football operation in Chicago."
But that's easier said than done. KU has averaged 4.8 goals in its last five games. And with last week's four-game sweep, KU has now lost only once in the last 10 games.
KU will be without the services of captain Kan Kupiplin and Terry Wilcoxen, both of whom were killed in an attack.
Another player who has been hampered by a bad ankle is frankan star Moshin Miri. He sprained his ankle last week, but still played in Saturday's Big Eight preliminary action.
Walker says he knows nothing of Daley charge
Miri went scoreless in the title game with
the tournaments he most valuable plays.
That was the word yesterday from the KU athletic department in response to published comments made Wednesday by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.
"I've seen the story (of Daley saying Sayers was 'negotiating' now to return to Chicago), and I don't know anything about it." KU athletic director Clyde Walker said.
"I haven't discussed anything like this with him (Sayers), and he hasn't discussed anything like this with me," he said. Sayers, who was unavailable for comment, has said he wasn't going to Russell, has said he didn't intend to leave KU for a football job in Chicago.
"Mayer Daley and I have been friends—are friends for a long time, but I don't know where he came up with that," Sayers has been quoted as saying.
There was "no question about it," Sayers added, adding that he wouldn't leave KU unless he said so.
Daley's comments came during a discussion of whether Sayers should be allowed to keep his seat on the board of the Chicago Fire Department, for poor attendance at board meetings.
Daley, who appoints all board members, told the Associated Press Wednesday, "I understand he (Sayers) attends the meetings of the park district, and he has also expressed a willingness to come back" o Chicago.
