problems has year. Campers are categorized according to their skills.
Bob Stancliff, volleyball coach, said, "They come here to broaden their knowledge of the game and the advanced ones are here to improve their skill."
IT'S A great way to meet your athletes," Collison said. "The cane is a tremendous recruitment service."
Stanclift agreed, saying, "In women's athletics one of the hardest things is finding the athletes."
Although most of the camps are only for girls, boys are encouraged to participate in the swimming and tennis camps, he said.
When youths enter the camps, they are able to see the campus and inquire about KU's academic programs, Stancill said.
"Any time we can get an athlete here on campus we feel it's a big plus for us," he said.
Collinson said a small department staff and small pay for coaches also were problems last year.
But plans for this year started earlier and the department reserved the needed facilities.
"I had three or four girls that were going to be seniors next year and I'm going to follow up on all of them."
LAST YEAR the department had only the basketball camp because of lack of facilities and time, she said.
The department had bad problems reserving facilities because other KU athletic groups already had reserved them.
he said most of the campers came from Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
--volleyball and track and field —already have been held. The last camp, for tennis, will begin July 16.
The camps are for boys and girls who love to play or have the ambitions of playing, a college athlete, an assistant assistant for women's athleticism, said yesterday.
The camps are run by women's athletics coaches who serve as directors but are coordinated by Ken Snow.

Although this is the third year for
the camps, Collinson said, "We're really just
beginning to get into these camps."
The directors are Tert Anderson, track and field; Gary Kempf, swimming; Kivisto, tennis; Stancelift; and Marian Washington, basketball.
With the exception of an occasional picnic or softball game, the campers spend the week playing and improving their skills.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Singles by George Brett and Darrall Porter pked a two-run rally in the eighth inning that propelled the Kansas City Royals to a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians last night.
Tom Poumitre reached base leading off the eighth inning on an error by Cleveland shortstop Tom Verryzer and was cut down at second on an attempted sacrifice bunt by

However, Britt's single sent McRae to third and Porter followed with an RBI single. Rick Wise, who entered the eighth inning with a four-hitter, then gave way to Sid Monge, and Clint Hurdle got Brett home with a round ball.
Wise, 4-10 and a three-time loser to the Royals this season, held the Royals in check after surrendering an RBI single to Porter in the first inning.
Winning pitcher Larry Gura, 5-1, seated eight hits, including RBI singles by Tom Vergerz in the third and Duane Kuiper in the fourth.
The Royals stranded runners in scoring position in the sixth and seventh innings. Porter reached second when second baseman Kuiper buried his ground ball in the sixth inning, but Hurdle popped out and Al Cowens grounded out.
Wimbledon easy for Bjorn Borg after first round
LONDON (AP) - Defending champion Björn Borg of Sweden will face a tough American, Victor Amaya, in the first round of the Wimbledon tennis championships, which start next week, according to last night's draw.
Amaya, more than 8½ feet tall and with an enormous reach at the net, could prove a very tough opponent for Borg, who is aiming at his third successive men's angles title.
But if Borg gets past Amaya, he will find moderately clear sailing toward the finals. Observers says he is in the easier half of the draw.
American Jimmy Connors, the No. 2 seed, will meet a New Zealander, Russell Simpson, in the opening round. Simpson came into the draw when South Africa Byron Bertram withdrew because of an injury. Connors should have few problems with Simpson—but after that match things got tougher and the Australian player Newcombe and John Alexander along with Raul Ramirez of Mexico in his section of the draw.
Englishman John Lloyd, along with Buster Mottram, Britain's big hope, has to meet fifth-seeded American Brian Gottfried in the first round.
In the seventh inning Steve Braun doubled leading off and pinch runner Willem Wilson went to third on Fred Patek's sacrifice. But with Frank White, the Royals' best bunter at the plate, Wilson was trapped when the pitcher struck him out. He would try a suicide bunt and pitched out. Catcher Gary Alexander easily tagged Wilson out.
IT WAS the second time this year that Wise had pitched well and lost to the Royals. After losing 43 in Cleveland April 10, he lost to New York in April 14, giving up just two earned runs.
Horace Speed, a last-minute replacement in center field for Rick Manning, scored the Indians' first run after doubling in the third inning.
