Speed scarcity slows KU

The University of Kansas track team takes a break from the Midwest relays circuit to compete at the Arkansas State Invitational tomorrow in Jonesboro, Ark.
The Jayhawks, suffering from an uncharacteristic lack of depth in their sprint corps, should be better suited for the Arkansas State meet. It's similar to conference competition because it has only two spring relay events.
Coach Bob Timmons sized up the Jaihawks' pilgrim, saying "I think a conference will have to happen," since we're not at full force now. You got to have depth in the sprints to win in the relays and that's where we're hurting now. We're some fast people who aren't running."
KU's aliments are easily diagnosed. Sprinter斯凯维 Newell and Chiff Wiley are awaiting a ruling from the NCAA about their receipt of allegedly excessive financial aid. They can't compete until the NCAA rules them eligible.
Their present ineligibility has brought about Timmons' decision to use freshman hurder Anthony Coleman in the sprint relays.
"Anthony ran in the quarter-mile relay in high school as well as the high hurdles so it shouldn't be too difficult for him," Timmons said. "I think he'll do a fine job for us."
"Well, I was a pretty good spinner in high school," Coleman said, "but I wanted to concentrate on the hurdles this year and try sprinting next year.
Coleman said he had ambitions of becoming a spinner, but the sudden move to a new room was so hard.
But Coleman is needed to run 110 yards, not 220, as part of the 440 relay squad.
"Right now I'm not in any shape for sprinting. When I get in tip-top shape, I'll be able to run well. I think my best race is a 220."
Hoping to ease the sprint deficiency is Waddell Smith's return to competition. The AL-America midfielder hadn't competed in a single game since 2013, and Smith briefly quit the team earlier this year.
Kansas soccer club hosts Columbia College, O-State
Local fans will have two chances this weekend to view the KU soccer club in action against player-coach Bernie Mullin calls strong opposition.
Columbia College, Columbia, Mo., comes to Lawrence for a 2 p.m. game tomorrow at the intramural Fields at 2xrd and Iowa. At 2 p.m. there will be Oklahoma State in Memorial Stadium.
"They're (Columbia) a very good club," Mullin said yesterday. "For all practical purposes they played Rockhurst to a tie last week."
Mulin was referring to Columbia's 2-1 loss to Rockhurst College in the Jayhawk Invitational. In that game the one-goal kick left Mulin and Kick after a questionable call by a referrer.
"Columbia is not unlike our team," he said. "They're big and strong on defense."
"They're also a truly international team, with players from Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, Central America and the United States."
Soccer is a varsity sport at Columbia, which means they'll bring all their players.
something KU can't do for road games.
Mullin said Oklahoma State also defended Pheasant to last week in the third place game of Prep.
KU traveled to Stillwater earlier this spring to play the Oklahoma State Cowboys, and he is set for a return.
and said he wasn't in shape for outdoor competition until now.
"I think that their beating us twice in a row will help our players get up for the game," he said. "They're a strong team, and they have to work with them, and we'll have to go some to beat them."
Another Jayhawk who had missed the season's first two outdoor meets is pole vaulting champion Michael Kohlen. Big Eight indoor championships, planned to make the Arkansas meet his first of the outdoor season, but won't be able to compete after a motorcycle accident Tuesday.
Timmons said he wasn't sure when Scales would be able to reuild the team.
"He's real sore now," Timmons said. "He's going to be out for a little while. His leg wasn't cut too badly, but he's bruised pretty badly."
WOMEN'S TRACK—A 12-member women's track squad begins competition today at the Wichita State University Relays. The meet ends tomorrow.

WOMEN'S TEENIAS "THE KU women's tennis team left yesterday for the Big Eight women's tournament at Norman, Okla. Making the trip were Astrid Dakca, Cissela Lopez, Tracy Spellman, Lynda Hillen, Marie Lane Cook and Hannah McCarley.
OU squeezes past netters
The KU tennis team tried to balance the pairings by juggling its line-up against Oklahoma yesterday. But the Sooners still won, 5-4, in the opening round of the Oklahoma City Invitational at the Oklahoma City Center.
napped the Sooners' Paul Lockwood, 7-5, 7-4. Hosking, who was switched from his regular No. 4 spot to No. 6, defeated Brian Crozer, 7-6, 6-7.
KU coach Kirkland Gates mixed things up by moving Hosking down, switching Greg Buller from No. 3 to No. 4 and moving Hank Colman from No. 6, to No. 3
The Jahwahs now move into the consolation bracket, meeting North Texas State.
Softball team still undefeated
Nationals are coming into focus for the KU women's softball team, which uphold an undefeated record by humiliating South Carolina on Tuesday in Sturgeon Bay's doubleheader in Saratoga Springs.
But before the Jayhawks start thinking of the College World Series, they must meet Wayne State (Neb.) at 2 p.m., tomorrow at Holcomb Scores Complex in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks fared much better in doubles, twinning two of the three matches. Clarke and Tim Headkite won their No 1 doubles by default while Hosking and Thomas knocked off the OU team of Mark Crozier and Les Topp, 6,2-7,5.
Oklahoma had too much strength in singles, winning four of the six matches. Bill Cox and his team defeated Hooking, now 13-3, were only KU players to win in singles. Clarke, KU's No. 1 man,
Wayne State finished third in last year's College World Series, KU coach Sharon Drydale said she thought Wayne State would have another good team this year.
KU has defeated SMSU four times this season. Dysale said the first game of the doubleheader was one of KU's better games so far this season.
"Our defense came along and matched the offensive hitting and pitching strengths we've had in the last 10 games, she said. She's been an integral part of it. I think it needs a little more pressure."
But the women didn't get much experience with base runners in the first game and pitcher Gloria Grabs was largely responsible. Grabs pitched her second shutout of season, ending the game in five innings. Grabs one walk away from a perfect game.
2 baseisper Beth Springgate was KU's strong hitter of the day. Springgate smacked one home run, batting in two of her three RBIs in the process.

Tiger bats to test KU hurlers

If baseball fans can tear themselves away from the first week of television major league baseball they should see an exciting game between Raymond andtomorrow at KU's Quigley Field.
KU puts its growing recognition as a possible Big Eight power on the line as the Missouri Tigers hit town for a three game series.
Missouri is considered by most to be one of the best hitting teams in the Big Eight, and at 28-9, the strongest team KU has played this year. Eight MU players are currently on the day. Pitcher John Piechocinshi today's starter, is S4 with a 5-13 ERA.
The Tiger All-American catcher Mark
Mark Williams, a rising prospect, is back,

But KU has some impressive statistics of

Rob Allander, who is pitching strongly but receiving little help in his starts from KU fielding, starts the nightcap tomorrow with a 3.34 ERA and a 1-4 record.
It's KU's hitting that has surprised preseason skeptics. Five KU batters are hitting over .300, and Ron MacDonald, last year's .372 team leading hitter, blasted out of a hitting slump last weekend against Nebraska.
Brain Moyer will again lead off in the Missouri series. Others in the tentative starting line-up, are Monty Hobbs, Ron MacDonald, Tom Kratttil, Aldom Gilmore.
Carl Heinrich, Randy Troutt, Lee Ice and Mark Hammifan.
If the fielding behind KU's pitching and batting would come together, the team would be in a good position for the Big Eight. The bench pressure at Temple has said, is "for all the marbles."
Temple said the eliminating fielding errors that have plagued KU all season and cost them the second game of last week's victory. The crucial in the team's play against Missouri.
"We can't make mistakes like that and expect to beat MU," he said.
