KU tennis team gets fresh start

Don't make the mistake of asking members of the KU tennis team to explain why the Jayhawks finished fifth in the Big Eight last year. They don't like to talk about
But ask KU tennis coach Kirkland Gates about this season and the second-year coach becomes all smiles.
"We've already beaten both Arkansas and Southern Illinois, 5-4." Gates said, "and last year they both beat us, 8-1. That's a very optimistic sign."
Gates has reason to be optimistic. All of his players are returning, and they've come back with a different attitude.

"The ATTITUDE seems to be more enthusiastic this year," Gates said. "The players got themselves in a losing rut last year and it affected their play.
"We've also got more discipline this year and I think that's one of the reasons we've been doing better. Last year was my first year and I expected the players to do a little much on their own. Now we're more organized and putting things together."
Still, Gates isn't promising any miracles this season. He said the Jayhawks could finish as high as second and shouldn't finish than fourth in the conference this year.
"OKLAHOMA STATE is definitely the favorite," Gates said. "They have all seniors this year. If they don't win it this season, it's just a real loss." They second by one point the last two years.
"Missouri and Oklahoma are the favorites for second and third. Missouri might be a little bit stronger because they're real good at the top (first three teams), but it's not good opportunity to take fourth and even place higher if you play well."
Gates said that Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa State have improved since last year, but don't quite have the strength to compete in conference. K-State no longer has a team.
SF Giants sold
CHICAGO (AP)—National League owners approved the sale of the San Francisco Giants to financier Robert Lurie and Bob Short yesterday, pending certain conditions involving both the purchasers and the City of San Francisco.
Chub Feeney, president of the National League, would not reveal the conditions but said they would have to be fulfilled by March 1.
Feeney said he had no doubt that the conditions would be met, but if they weren't the league would hold another meeting on the Giants' matter.
Earlier, Lurie, a San Francisco financier who leads a group trying to keep the Giants from moving to Toronto, told newsmen the proposal by National Exhibition Inc., the current owner of the team, was acceptable to him.
Lurie and Bob Short, former owner of the American League's Texas Rangers, are trying to buy the Giants for $8 million. Lurie and Bob Short will have to pay the other $7.5 million in cash is ready.
Bill Clarke slams a serve
Bill Clarke, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound junior from Leawood, is the hawkies' No.1 singles player. Gates described Clarke, a tall athlete, as an all-powerful champion, as an overpowering player.
"He's a muscle player," Gates said. "He's got that strong serve and hits the ball really hard, but he'a his little anorthodox. He's capable of being an All-American. He wants to be a great player and he's willing to sacrifice to do so."
FOR TWO STRAIGHT seasons Clarke has mowed down almost everyone he's faced in conference dual play, but has struggled at the Big Eight Tournament.
"I want to win the Big Eight, that's my goal," Charke said. "I haven't played good."
Tim Headke, one of two seniors on the team, is the No. 2 singles player.
KC Kings win
FHOENIX (AP)—Nate Archibald picked up a loose ball, drove the length of the court and scored with 16 seconds left to give the Kansas City Kings a 120-117 overtime victory over the Phoenix Suns last night in a National Basketball Association game.

"HE'S NOT A winner yet," Gates said of Buller. "He has the most pressure on his shoulders. He just needs to come over that hill and get over the psychological hang-up of losing."
"Jeff's starting to win," Gates said. "He had a losing attitude last year. He's got confidence in his game this year and that makes all the difference in the world."

Kansas' No. 4 player is Jeff Thomas, a junior from Baton Raton, Fla. Thomas relies on a big serve and plays conservatively from there.
Mark Hosking, the only freshman on scholarship, is the Jayhawks' 0.5 player. Gates thinks Hosking has been a reason for the team's improvement this season.
"ONE PLAYER CAN make a big difference," Gates said. "Mark's added a dimension down at the bottom of our team. He's a big, strong boy with a big serve and volley.
"He's a lot like Clarke, except that he's more of a natural athlete. He's really started to come around. You have to remember he's had very little coaching."
The Jayhawks' No. 6 position isn't filled yet. Sophomores Hank Colman and Lonnie Taylor and freshman Joe Ruysser are battling for that spot.
The doubles teams are Clarke-Headline, No. 1; Beller and whoever Gates finds as his partner, No. 2, and Hooke-Hoeking, No. 3. The doubles team is in doubles when the No. 2 spot is filled.
"Buller badly needs a partner," Gates said. "I was working with Buller and Hollan Colman there, but that wasn't working out. They were losing, so now I'm trying Ruyser there."

KANSAS PREMIERE!
SIDE-SPLITTING SEX SPOOFS AND NOSTALGIC TELEVISION CLASSICS: The Sinematic and Cinematic Sides of 1950'S Sociology
The 1950's Sex Education Festival
This is a series of shorts that may be the most hysterically funny movies ever to play on the Kansas University campus. The titles include: How Much Affection (1956); Doing Do's and Dont's (1954); Is This Love (1957); are You Popular (1952); Are You Ready for Marriage (1955); and Dangling Participie (1959). To describe but two of them: How Much Affection, which might better be titled The Perverse Passion of Petting, is the idyllic story of teen-aged love run amuck. With their entire life ahead of them, a young couple's hopes for future of virtuous decency and sex-fueled madness! But with the help of family and friends they arrive at a truly inspirational and heartrending solution to The Menace of Premarital Intercourse. Then in Standish Lawder's outrageous Dangling Participie, we see a sixty-five year old muniarly high school teacher trying to tell a group of potential pervers that each and every fantasy, no matter how bizarre, is "perfectly normal." This film is without doubt one of the most remarkable social documents of its time: a sort of ultimate statement on adolescent frustrations and sexual brainwashing techniques at high school. The film also describes the characters as of equivalent quality, each one specially selected for its ability to evoke泪手 of disbelief laughter! One last film in Part I is the 1950's equivalent of sexual politics — Ronald Reagan's only filmed encounter with Jayne Mansfield!
