3 sprinters to miss Texas meet

The absence of sprinters Kennewell, Cliff Willey and Waddell Smith means a lack of depth for the University of Kansas track at Texas Relays this weekend in Austin.
The Jayhawks have had 131 team victories on the triple crown circuit of the Texas, Drake University and Kansas Relays, but they won't be entered this weekend in several events where they usually rack up points.
"Well, its rather obvious that we're hurting there," head track coach Bob Timmons said. "We can't compete in some areas of the game." We're not even entered in the quarter-mile
relay or the 800 relay. Missing that 800
really hurts.
Wiley and Newell have been barred from outdoor competition this season until the NCAA rules on their eligibility, Smith, a player in the team, issued the Dallas Invitational last week.
"We don't feel like he's (Smith) in very good shape so we will wait until next week."
There is some good news for the Jaeyawaks about the spirt corps. Larry Jackson, big fincher of the team, this weekend to bolster the squad after missing most of the indoor season with a leg injury. Jackson, an All-America, has played in record 9 of the 2012 and 20 in the 200

because he hasn't had the stress of a meet yet," Titmons said. "But, you know, he wasn't that stressed."
"You've just got to go down there to do your best in whatever events you enter."
"We're looking forward to the meet," Timmons said. "All the top Big Eight and Southwest conference teams will be there and so will Texas-EI Paco (NCAA indoor champions). It should be an outstanding meet.
Competing in the second outdoor index of the 1968 World Cup, John Roscoe were slated to run in the
3,000-meter steeplechair. But foot aliments have forced Roscoe to stay home, so senior co-captain Lunder will run his first solo steeplechair of the season. Roscoe, a junior-college transfer, is the national junior college record holder in the steeplechair.
ALSO MISSING THE meet will be sophomore pole vault Tail Scales, Scales, runner-up at the conference indoor championships, said he needed more practice to successfully make the transition to the outdoor competition.
Instead of making the trip to Austin, Scales will join a contingent of trackmen headed for the Emporia State Invitational tomorrow.
Hot hitting KU opens league play

Big Eight baseball comes to Lawrence this weekend as the University of Kansas baseball team meets the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a three game series.
Ouigley Field will be the site of a game at 3 p.m. today and a doubleheader at 1 p.m. tomorrow. KU is 8-4 for the season, and it looks like going into a doubleheader Wednesday.
Coach Floyd Temple isn't looking past the Cronhusters, despite their poor record.
"Nebraska doesn't have a good record, but they're in a place where they haven't had much chance to practice yet," Temple said.
RIGHT-HANDER ROGER Slagle will start against Nebraska now. Slagle takes a 5-0 record and a 6.0 ERA into the contest. Rian Brodies (22) and Rob Ahlberg (13)
KU has given Tajewk something this season that past Jayhawk baseball teams have been rather stingy with. Temple is finally getting some bitting.
"We've been getting more balance in our hitting," Temple said. "(Tom) Krattli is swinging better, (Monty) Hobbs and (Brian) Moyer both had a good series in Tulsa. And I think (Carl) Heinrich leads the team in hitting."

WOMEN'S TENNIS—The tennis team is at the Tulsa Invitational today and tomorrow. Team members are Marlene Kirk, Astrid Daksa, Karen Hense, Lynda Helen Knode, Cecilia Lopez, Hannah McCarley and Trace Soellman.
WOMEN'S TRACK—KU will compete at the Emporia Relays tomorrow under the guidance of women's assistant track coach Theo Hamilton. Head coach Gary Pepin is with the men's team in Austin for the Texas Relays.
TENNIS-KU will open the Big Eight portion of its tennis schedule at 2 p.m. tomorrow when the Jayhawks host Colorado on the Athen Field House courts. They are for the use at 2:30 p.m. today by hosting Cowley County Community College.
Heinrich is batting at a .370 clip. Other leading Jayhawk打虎们 are designated hitter Randy Trount (.333), Vince Monslow (.333) and Mover (.327).
TEMPLE SAID HE was proud of the way the team bounced back to win the doubleheader last Saturday in Tulsa after dropping two games on Friday.
"I'm pretty much pleased with the performance of the team so far this season," Temple said. "Our record is good, but it could be better."
Temple said occasional breakdowns in the KU defense have hurt the team. Tempi stressed that the team needed to be able to come back after making an error.
"What we lack in talent we have to make up with 100 per cent effort and very few of us have the time or the capacity."
According to Temple, the primary goal of the team is to keep improving. He warned that to level off now would be bad for the team.
"WE NEED TO KEEP improving and reach our peak for the (Big Eight) tournament, because that's where all the marbles are this year." he said.
The Big Eight champion will be decided in a round-robin tournament in May.
Scheduling problems forced the cancellation of the Jayhawks' trip to Manhattan for the Kansas Tournament next weekend.

didn't expect to get a game.
The Missouri series will be the next action for the baseball team. The Tigers, one of the best batting teams in the conference, will face three-game series here next weekend.
