Track team to tune up at K-State
By RODNEY ANDERSON
Sports Writer
Because the Big Eight conference outdoor track meet is just two weeks away—a meet the Jayhaws have won the last 12 years—tomorrow's dual meet with Kansas State at 4 p.m. in Manhattan would seem a waste of valuable practice time.
Especially because the Jayhawks hold a commanding 32-10 lead in the annual Sunflower dual. Last year, Kansas handed the Wizards a lopsided 95-83 victory in the first round.
But to Bob Timmons, KU men's track coach, KState presents a tough challenge.
*K-STATE HAS some very good people.* Tirmous said. "They're very strong in the weights, particularly the javelin and the disc, and they're long in the triple jumps. There's no doubt they have an advantage in the field events."
According to Kansas State coach Mike Ross, the two teams appear about equal with the Wildcats holding an edge in the race. The Chargers holding an edge in the running events.
Timmons said he agreed with Rosa' estimation of the match.
"I think it'll be a close meet," Timmons said. "We have had some close meets

before, and we've had some meets that were decided on the mule relay."
TIMMONS SAID the dual took on added importance with the return of injured sprinters Cliff Wiley, David Bluether and Kevin Newell, and hurder Anthony
All four have spent most of the outdoor season sidelines because of injuries, and all four figure prominently into Timmons' plans for a victory tomorrow.
"This will be as close to a full team as we have had all year," Timmons said. "We may have one or two people missing and maybe a couple others who aren't quite at full speed, but we'd like to be as close to a full team as we can be."
"CLIFFORD (WILEY) looked good running the 400." Timmons said. "Kevin (Newell) didn't look particularly good, but he should be ready for the conference meet."
"David (Blutcher) ran well on the 400-meter relay but tightened up a little in the 290. I'm trying to get some of these people into this book this week and into their normal races."
Tommy McCall, Lester Mickens, Stan Whitaker and Wiley or Wicky Little will compete in the mile relay for KU. The Jayhawks have qualified in that event for the NCAA outdoor meet which will be held later this month.
Timons will be counting on his stars to perform well tomorrow.
THE MILE RELAY is the last event on the meet schedule and the difference between KU's and K-State's season mile relay is 1.08 km; K-State's best is 8.97 km and KU's best is 8.08 km.
if the meet is as close as Ross and Timmons expect, the mile relay could be the deciding event.

"Oh, my!" exclaimed Ross. "You couldn't pick an event where the two teams are more evenly matched."

will be back again to run it with Loziot and Billy.Washington.
Seven Jayhawks are scheduled to compete in the 200-meter dash.
BLUTCHER HAS THE best time of the Kaunas field with a 23.1 clocking in the Jayhawk's first meet of the outdoor season, April 1. In that meet, he qualified for the NCAA outdoor in the 100-meter in a time of 10.2 seconds.

Women's team faces rivals in conference meet
By CARLOS MURGUIA

KU women's track coach Terri Anderson hopes she is wrong about her expectations for the team's finish at the Big Eight Outdoor Championship track meet, which is being held today and tomorrow at Norman, Okla.
Anderson said that because of the stronger winds, New State's track exceeded the expected KU of 10.
"Iowa State has to be considered the favorite," Anderson said. "I hope our team proves me wrong, but Iowa State has a very good team."
ANDERSON SAID it would take an entire team effort for KU to win the meet. She said KU's main obstacle to victory would be the opposing teams' talented athletes.
"It is a hard matter to predict," Anderson said. "Both K-State and Iowa State have strong meets this week and Nebraska can't be difficult, but it's possible for us to win."
Competing for KU in the field events will be Gavrie Crane in the discussion, Lance Louden
and Shelly Ryden in the javelin, Charmeh Kuhman, Kim Somes and Shawn Corwin in the long jump and Cindy Skillman in the high jump.
Corwin, a freshman, has been ranked No. 1 in the Big Eight this season. She has the league's best long jump of the season, at 5-8.
KU ATLHTEES entered in the sprint and hurdle events are Sheila Calmese and Amy Miles in the 100 and 200-meter runs. Big Eight champion in both of these events.
champion in 2004 to be named.
Calmese will be defending her Big Eight records of 11.5 in the 100-meter run and 24.3 in the 200 that she set last year.
Although injured earlier in the season, Calmette has now recovered and will be able to play.
As a freshman, Calmese won the Big Eight titles in the 60 and 220-yard run indoors and the 20-meter run outdoors. The team won three games and 220 indoors and will try to repeat outdoors.
ALMENSE SAID the competition would be competitive but she liked her chances of success.
"If Cindy Tatum and Freda Hancock run, it could be tough." Calmese said, "but I'm confident of what I can run and I'll be ready to go when the race starts."
Tatum will be running for Nebraska and Hancock for Kansas State.
The 400-meter run, Kuhlman, Denise Homa and Jo McMillon will compete for KU. Deb Hertzg and Deb Strehle will run in the 800-meter run.
Lori Lowrey will be in the 100-meter hurdles and Lowrey and Connie Lane are entered in the 400-meter hurdles.
LOWREY HAS been ranked first this season in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.2
The 400 meter and medley relay team will be composed of Lowrey, Miles, Calinese and Kuhlman. On the mile relay team will be McMillion, Homa, Lane and Hertzog. The two-mile relay team will be composed of Steinberger and Michael Trehan. Susan Steinberger and Michael Trehan.
The 400-meter relay team of Lowry, Miles Calmese and Kuhman has the best
time in the Big Eight this season, running the relay at 48.8.
Anderson said their toughest competition in the 400 and medley relays would be K-State relay team. Last week at the Drake Relays, K-State finished second in the men's event in preliminaries of the medley at Drake. The KU team dropped the baton during their race.
"THEY KNOW they probably could have won the race," Anderson said. "They feel they have something to prove against K-State."
KU senior Charmaine Kuhman currently has the fifth best time in the country among collegiate athletes in the 400, with a time of 54.8. Anderson said Kuhman had a good chance of winning the long jump as well as the 400-meter run.
"Charmare's main competition in the 400 will be Nebraska's Julie Seaton," Anderson said. "The No.1 ranked long jumper in the Big Eight this season was Iowa State." Charmare was a day behind her and if Charmane was a good day she can easily beat her."
Rose to attempt his 3000th hit tonight against Montreal
CINCINNATI (AP)—It didn't take Pete Rose's quest for a 3,000th hit to sell teammate Joe Morgan on the Cincinnati Reds' third baseman.
"A statistic is just a statistic. That's not what Pete Rise is to me," Morgan said. "What makes Pete Rise more special than any number is that he's the only one—the only one I've ever known—who plays every day like it's opening day. His attitude, the way he goes about doing his job, is the record.
the man's more important to me than his statistic. Meanwhile, the Reds' third base position is better off.

HE GOT TWO tbls Wednesday night to move to 2,988 and he was greeted with standout owntains when he went to the plate and the chant of "Pete, Pete" as he stood in
The fans were screening for Rose to get THE hit Wednesday night so they could say something.
"One guy yelled 'Get em' tonight! I can't be here Friday!" And another guy said he'd miss it Saturday because of the Kentucky Derby," Rose said.
His next chance to reach 3,000 comes tonight against Montreal.

Injuries concern 'Hawks in today's K-State game
By JIM BLOOM
Sports Writer
Injuries have not been a major problem for the University of Kansas baseball team this season. But as the Jayhawks meet Kansas State University in a doubleheader today, injuries will be a main concern for coach Floyd Temple.
The games are set to start at 1:30 p.m. at Quigley Field.
On Wednesday in practice, freshman catcher Don Grisham injured his right shoulder. He is out of the league.
Last weekend against Missouri, senior catcher Andy Gilmore was lost for the season when he tare ligaments in his left thumb tazing out a runger at home plate.
GRAHAM SHOULD be ready to play today, but his throwing could be hindered.
"If he (Graham) don't play, we could be against a K-State." Temple said.
"Its on my throwing hand, so it won't hurt my catching," Graham said. "But I couldn't throw too well in practice after it happened. It also makes it hard to grip a bat."
WITH OR without Graham, Temple and his players are looking forward to playing
If Graham's thumb flares and keeps him out of the lineup, KU could be in trouble. Freshman Jeff Dickman, who has played with the Bucks, has occasion, is the only other catcher on the team.
Earlier this season, KU swept a four-game series from the Wildcats. The Jayhawks outscored K-State, 36-5, in the series and had two shutouts.
"It would be great if we took eight straight from them," Graham said.
KU will travel to Manhattan tomorrow for another doubleheader.
K-STATE'S RECORD is 17-26 so far this season. The Wildcats finished last in the Big-Eight Western division with a 2-10 showing.
K-State defeated Oklahoma last weekend and, then, Wednesday swept two games in the state.
But the Wildcats had won their last three games going into a doubleheader yesterday with Emporia State University.
In today's games, KU will pitch lefthander Dave Rush, 3-3, and righthander Terry Sutcliffe, 8-K-State's possible opponent, Doug Able, 21, and Mike Lauchan, 12.
KU'S PITCHING staff has a 3.51 ERA, K-
State pitchers have combined for a 5.61 ERA.
Tomorrow, KU will pitch St. Dair Clan, 6-2, and Kevin Kershin, 5-4 K-State's pitching depth may be worn out, because the Wilds have played six games in three days.
Evenue said he might try a few players at different positions against K-State and also in next week's two doubleheaders against non-conference opponents. KU has scheduled home games with Washburn University and Northwest Missouri State University for next Monday and Wednesday.
Temple said one player he might insert at first base is fresh Matt Gundinger. Gundinger is listed as a catcher, but Crawford switched him to first base earlier this year.
