Bernie Mullin, KU soccer club coach, said yesterday that the tournament would give local fans a chance to view the best soccer played in Lawrence this year.

Rockhurst and Columbia, both NAIA rowers, are two of the top small college athletes.
Entered in the tourney are teams from Kansas State, Wichita state, Nebraska, Missouri, Rockhurst College, Columbia (Mo.) College and the host Javahawks.
IN DISTRICT PLAYOFFS last semester, Rockhurst and Columbia battled through two averties before Rockhurst scored a point victory.
Rockhurst then finished third at the NAIA national meet.

beat. Mullin said, but either Missouri or Kansas could provide an upset.
Juan Damassio, the team's leading scorer last year, may be ready to play within two weeks. Mulliu said. Damassio has been out of action since fall when he injured a knee and underwent surgery over Christmas vacation.
German Gomez and Raphael Santos have been bothered with ankle injuries that have hampered their play. Gomez's injury will keep him from playing this weekend.
Mullin also expressed concern about the amount of contact Moshen Mit has been given.
"MOSHEN HAS BEEN taking a tremendous amount of punishment." Mullin said, "and if we don't get more protection from the referees he will be crimson for life."
Mari has been a scoring machine in his last four games, knocking in 12 goals. Because of the battering he takes during the game, he slows down the week and plays only in the games.
Although the club's record this spring is 4-3-1, Mullin said it was deceivable.
"The competition we've played so far is three times as hard as last year," he explained, "and our record has suffered. But it doesn't show the amount of experience we've gained. We want to avoid what happened last year."

they lost.
"We never had to come from behind last year until the tournament," he said, "and
when we did get behind we didn't know how to react and began playing paddle soccer; we did not.
Mullin, in his second season as coach, was optimistic about the improvement of the younger American players on his squad, and likely Steffen VanKeppel and John Nichols.
Lawrence will be invaded by rugers this weekend as the KU rugby team hosts the MKFC.

KU's 5-0 record makes it the favorite, but Missouri and Oklahoma, with the help of football All-America Joe Washington, should challenge.
The Columbian Highlanders and Sigma Nu advanced to the Hill Championships of "C" league intramural basketball play by winning their division titles last night. The Highlanders defeated PO V, 33-24, and Sigma Nu beat Triangle, 48-41, in overtime.

Officially confirmed to compete in the open division of the April 15-17 RELays are the co-host, world record-holder in the 800-yard race and the Pan American Games.
Relays attract Wohluter, Ray
Wohlhuter will be trying for his third straight victory in the 1,500-meter run, and Ray will enter the 400-meter dash in his first Kansas Rassls appearance.
In outdoor competition this season, Ray, a junior at North Carolina Central, has run only in relay events after passing up the indoor season. Wohlhuter had a strong performance as the nation's second fastest half-mile (1:49.2) and the AU 1,000-yard run test (2:99.3).
"There is no doubt that Wohlhuter and Ray are among the top athletes in the world today." Timmons said. "Both of them are excellent Olympic prospects and the Relays will be a key meet in their schedules prior to Montreal."
Wahhuter, a graduate of Notre Dame, is also considering running in the 800-meter run. He is currently the third fastest in the world in that event with a time of 1:41.
