Baseball team sweeps K-State
KU baseball coach Floyd Temple has had a let to smile about lately.
Not only have his Jawahri pulled to a 30-11-1 record, the beat in KU history, but Temple's troops have beaten rival K-State the six times the teams have played this season.
The dayhawks' latest victories over the Wildcats occurred Friday, swept two first-round games and 4-1.
"WE LOVE TO beat them," Temple said last night. "You want to win all the games, but when you beat a rival it somewhat hurts." "We're not going to win all," You just want to win all the games you can.
Starting pitchers D Rice and Terry Sutcliffe both throw complete games for the Jayhawks. Rice improved his record to 12-6, and Sutcliffe won his perfect record, winning his ninth game.
The two pitchers allowed only seven hits in the doublesheader.
In the first game, KU scored quickly off KState starting pitcher Mike Laughlin.
Lead-off man John Spottsworth singled to left in open the first inning.
SPOTTISWOOD ADVANCED to second on a sacrilege bunt by Steve Jeltz and then went to third on a wild pitch. After designated batter Monte Hobbs walked, Spottiswood scored two outs out of shortstop. Hobbs later scored on Vic Harris' single to left.
in the third inning, KU put the game out of
reach by scoring six runs on six hits. The
Jayhawks batted around the order in that
inning.
That 8-0 lead was all that Rusch needed. He pitched perfect ball until the fifth inning, when KState catcher Tim Pepper reached base on a Jayhawk error.
"Dive throw a very good game," Temple said. "We got him a big lead early when they came around."
HARRIER WAS three-for-four with a double and two singles. He also drove in four runs.
Centerfielder Batch Vickers also ended a slump by hitting a single and a home run in four trips to the plate. Vickers had three RBs in the game.
This time the Jayhawks scored two runs on four hits in the second inning to take the lead. Harris, Brian Gray, Vickers and Monty Marlin all singled for KU that
IN THE SECOND GAME, KU jumped to an early lead once again.
inning:
Sutcliffe held the Wildcats hitless until the fourth inning. He gave up three hits and five walks in the game.
"SUTCIFLE WAS JUST a bit wild in the second season," he said. "He wasn't impressed on his pitching."
In the fifth inning, Sutcliffe survived a scoring threat with the help of right-folder
Wildcat runners were on first and second and KU was leading 3-1. KState's Greg Korbe blied a drive to deep right field. Spottwod was able to run the ball down and make an over-the-shoulder catch to end the inning.
The doubleheader scheduled for Saturday between the two teams at Manhattan was Friday. The game will be played at 7 p.m.
Spring drills provide pleasant surprises

Washburn University this afternoon at Quailley Field, but Temple said the game would probably be postponed until tomorrow because of wet grounds.
THE DOUBLEHEADER sweep over K-Strike drives the Wildcats' record to 18-9.
Safety instructions for the games are games against Washoe and Northwest Missouri, coming to Lawrence Wednesday, the Jayhawks are not scheduled to play again until the Big Eight conference tournament May 17 through May 21 at Oklahoma City, OK.

In a spring full of question marks, KU football coach Bill Moore has found some
storage is the first to admit his team is far from being ready for Sept. 9 confrontation with Texas A & M, but some pleasant surprise in the defense of football wartosms, especially on the defense.
The tournament will decide the conference champion and will determine which teams advance to the College World Series in Omaha the first week of June. The second round will be at the World Series. This year the second-place team may go as an at-large selection.
Moore calls the 5-11, 190-pound Tumpkin one of the hardest hitters on the team. About Harris, 6-0, 18-3-pound junior, Tumpkin and sophomore running back Tracy Levy. Moore said, "It's been a pleasant surprise that he was able to come to the top as they have."
some of the newcomers who shined this spring, were defensive tricks Joe Tumpick and Dave Harris and linebacker James Jackson.
"Jamies Jackson has made a world of progress in the past 10 days of practice."
JACKSON, A 6-3, 235-pound junior from North Carolina, showed his hitting ability during Saturday's 20th and final spring game. He shot 4-of-10, back Dave Danwell with a crunching tackle.
Levy, a 6-2, 210-pound sophomore from Wichita, has been running wild lately. In Saturday's scrimmage, Levy ran for 163 points and knocked down touchdowns. He had a long run of 41 yards.
Levy may not have great breakaway speed, but Moore hopes that he can be a threat.
LAST WEEKEND Levy run for 155 yards in 19 carries.
"He still doesn't block as he needs to," Moore said. "When he's not carrying the knife, you can get him."
Levy, and Mike Higgins and Bobby Barrow will be competing for the taillback position.
Fullback competition will be between Sam Smith, Max Ediger and Dansdell. Ediger had 31 yards in five carries; Saran, barrow had 14 for 114 and Dansdell had
ACCORDING TO Moore, the Jayhawks' offensive line will have strong potential. He said Demons Balanga played well this spring, along with Mike Gay. Franklin King is expected to contribute to the offensive line, while missed spring workouts with a knee injury.
another newcomer is 6-4, 235-pound sophomore Jay McAdam from Wisconsin.
"I thought Jay McAdam on the offensive line improved more than any other player." Moore said. "I had doubts about his ability, but he did well."
Oklahoma, 38-17, defending champion and western division leader, Missouri, 33-14, eastern division champion, and Oklahoma State, 35-19, are the other teams entering the tournament. Oklahoma State finished the western division, as KU did in the east, to qualify.
The quarterback position remains questionable. Brian Bettek and Jeff Hines have been running first team all spring, and Moore thinks they can do the job.
"As a unit, Bethke and Hines have completed more than 40 percent of their passes this spring. Moore said, "and I can remember some of the passes been dropped."
Moore has been especially encouraged about Hines' progress. As a freshman who was rushed into varsity last season, Hines completed only seven of 26 passes for
MOOIE IS concerned about the quar-
terware targets at light end and wide re-
solution.
"We're still not satisfied at the tight end position," Moore said. "We haven't been able to put it all together and have one guy step forth."
"Poise and confidence have made a big difference for Jeff," Moore said.
Kirby Criswell, Greg Jones and David Lawrence have been competing for the
At wide receiver, the Jayhawns, according to Moore, have long threats in David Versa, who missed much of spring practice with a broken wrist, and Jimmy Hayes, who marked Mark Vicendus could be a possibility. Also, Rob Fulton is returning from last season.
"I WISH Vicendese had been healthy before making a great deal of progress," Moore said.

- Affirmed to lend to the on lead.
There is some truth to that and jockey Steve Coutter had to whack him six times in the stretch Saturday to keep him from losing his concentration. However, if Aldyar, his archival and the second-class finisher, had pushed Affirmed this time that his coat would have responded.

BARRERA'S EYES narrowed.
Derby winner doubted
But the big chestnut coll's detractors still will be shaking their heads and betting against him until he crosses the fence five times in new New York.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)—There is no reason to think that Kentucky Derby winner Affirmed will not go on to win the Prekness and the Belmont Stakes and become American racing's third Triple Champion in six years.
Laz Barrera, the brilliant Cuban who may be the best horse trainer in the world, is still irritated by the negativism that has been directed at Affirmed by some people in the racing industry—and betters.
"WE GOT THE best horse," Barrera said after the Derby night. "We beat them all the time and came up to this race and they make the other horse the favorite. My horse trained better. He looked better. What did he pay?"
Barrera was told Affirmed paid $5.60,
$2.80 and $2.60.
A newsman asked him whether Affirmed would win the Triple Crown.
He shook his head.
Sunday morning things had not changed. After a visit to the barns, Barrera boarded a plane for New York. As he walked down the aisle to this seat, congratulations were offered from both sides.
He shook his head.
"My God almighty!" he said.
- Before the Derby, Affirmed was regarded as a coil that had not been thoroughly tested. That no longer should even be whispered. After all, his 2:01-15 tide for the fifth fastest Derby in 194 years and he wasn't pushed until the end.
Affirmed was the second favorite in the Derby at 85. Alydar was 6-5 in the 14-4 mile race. Affirmed should be a heavy favorite in the 13-16 mile Preakness.
But the Belmont—ahh, that's where Affirmed detractors and Alydar's backers kick the Calumet Farm corn kiln,enge it. $1.1 m/s, a true test of a horse.
