Tennis team travels
Although the KU men's tennis team has won just seven matches and lost 10, tennis coach Tom Kivisto he didn't think in the Jayhawks were as had at the record in
Ariyo, in his first year, said he thought inconsistency had been the team's stumbling block.
"We're not that bad," he said. "It's just that we can get six good singles performances and three good doubles performances back to back."
Kivisto said he hoped KU would finish third in the tournament.
"We've been averaging four good singles performances and one good doubles performance," he said. "What's important is that all six guys play well."
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS University--Edwardville, the nation's No. 1 small college team, was the favorite entering the tournament. The university also needed to be a challenger.
The Jayhawks lost to both Wichita State and SIU-Edwardville in early season
"We know SIU is good and Wichita State is also very strong. Kristovi said, "It should be a great state."
"Hopefully, we'll reach the finals," he said. "If we play well, we should make the semi-finals. We'll probably be the third best."
Woman's team plays
There is only one thing KU tennis coach Tom Kivisto is certain of when his team competes in the Missouri Valley Women's Tennis Championships.
"Draws will be very important." Kivisto said. "Draws are too much a part of it."
The way the tournament is set up, only the top eight players in the entire field will be seeded. That is different from the Big Eight tournament, in which each the top player at each position is seeded.
"It's pretty tough but that's the way the Missouri Valley always runs it," Kivisto said. "That's what makes it so competitive."
Kivisto said he expected the Jayhawks to be among the top four teams in a field that is still under construction.
This lineup did well in the Big Eight Tournament. Kvliebt to "I will play that one." The game was close.
Nebraska, which tied with Oklahoma for the Big Eight championship, is the favorite
in the tournament. The tournament began yesterday, and tomorrow at the College in Cincinnati in October.
Stephens College and Southern Illinois University - Carbondale also are expected to join
Kansas enters the tournament 7-4,1-2,
a fourth place finish in the recent Big Eagle
Changes add speed
In rowing, the placement of the crew members can cause defeat or contribute to victory. KU crew members are tasked with the seating charts in two of the crews that will be competing in the Midwestern Association of Rowing Colleges Annual Championship at Lake Wingra in Wisconsin.
The goal: added speed.
"It seems we've generated an added amount of speed because of the changes." Rose said. "We seemed to move somewhat faster in practice this week."
The changes could not come at a better time for the eight-man and four-woman crews in the race. The competition was from throughout the Midwest are entered.
This is the most important meet yet for the crews in their first season of com-
There will be three heats for the eight-crown and two heats for four-woman
Consolation rounds will be held for those that finish in the lower places of the heats. The higher finishers will advance to the championship bracket.
Rose said he hoped most for continued improvement from his young crews.
"I've been tickled we continued going in the right direction," he said. "We're still improving quite markedly from week to week."
Sailing team races
Hoping to place well, the KU Sailing Club will compete in the Oklahoma State Invitational regatta at Stillwater, Okla., tomorrow.
Sailing teams from Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Southwest Missouri State are visiting the Gulf of Mexico.
KU Sailing club captain Dale Clothier said this race would not be the typical race.
It's usually school against school, but in this race it is going to be individual against itself. The school is not being improving, in practice, and I have hopes that we will do well down there."

Softball team begins title defense
A spot in the regional softball tournament is up for grabs this weekend as eight teams converge on Lawrence to vie for the championship of the state softball tournament.
By NANCY DRESSLER
Snorts Writer
Kansas has its sights set on returning to the national tournament. The Jayhawks have won the state tournament for the past several years and finished in a tie for seventh at the national tournament last year.
Joining host Kansas will be Kansas State, Fort Hays State, Wichita State, Pittsburgh State, Emporia State and Washburn universities and Benedictine College. Kansas University and University and tournament College were canceled from the tournament yesterday.
HOWEVER, KU COACH Bob Stanclift is not counting out the competition.
The tournament's winner will advance to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women's region VI tournament in May. The tournament will be played on campus then advance to the nationals in Ormua.
'I think our girls realize there are other
good teams in the state." Stanclift said.
"This won't be a cakewalk."
Stancliff said the Jayhawks would have to play up to their potential to repeat as tournament champions. KU recently has been named the No. 1 overall selection, several key players are out with injuries.
However, Stancliff said most of the starting team would be able to play today. Sophomore third baseman Jilly Larson, of late yesterday, was still questionable to play today with a knee injury. But Stancliff said she would be able to return to action today.
Junior shortstop Kelly Phipps, junior pitcher Shelley Sinclair and sophomore outfielder Jumele Kobeber have recently been reliever after being stellined with injuries and illness.
KANSAS OPENS tournament action today at 10 a.m. against Kansas State at Holcorn Sports Complex. Stancill said he thought the Jayhawks held the advantage of playing in the state's championship for the Wildkittens. Kansas beat KSU 9-0 in the big eight tournament two weeks ago.
"Shelley pitched a real good game for us.
THE LAWRENCE OPERA HOUSE A HISTORY AND A FUTURE
THE PAST . . . the first building on the site of the Lawrence Opera House was erected in 1854 and stood until Quarrill raided and burned Lawrence in 1863. Following the fire a meat market was built on the site; with the addition of two floors the building was dubbed "Liberty Hall," a meeting hall graced by Henry Ward Beecher, Horace Greely and other historical figures. In 1885 J.D. Bowersock acquired "Liberty Hall" and converted it into the "Bowersock Opera House" . . . the scene of operas, vaudeville, plays and concert concerts. In 1911 the building burned to the ground, but Mr. Bowersock replaced it in 1912 with a virtually fireproof structure . . . the present "Lawrence Opera House."
THE PRESENT . . . In September of 1975, Opera House Investments, Inc. acquired the building and set out to make it once again the entertainment center of Lawrence. We chose the name Lawrence Opera House to recall the days of the Bowersock Opera House and remind all of you that this building historically belongs to Lawrence and we hope to make it that way again. We have a cereal malt beverage license, a private club license and a small restaurant and believe we can provide for your every desire.
Their hitting might be better than we thought. "Staggish and old the existing arm."
THE FUTURE . . . In order to once again make the Lawrence Opera House a source of entertainment for all people, we recognize that we must provide diverse facilities and entertainment. We are presently, and intend in the future to continue to provide such service. We look forward to historical registration and restoration of the facility inside and out and with the help of the citizens of Lawrence we can accomplish these goals.
Your patronage is appreciated, your suggestions solicited and your help requested in our endeavors to achieve our goals.
We Thank You

If the Jayhawks beat KSU, they now earn
the winner of the Emory State-Washburn
tournament.
Stancliff said that Emporia, Fort Hays
State and Wichita State would pose the
hazard for the development.
Kansas has swept a doubleheader this season from Emporia, 10-1 and 3-1, and also has won a doubleheader from WSU, 7-5 and 5-2.
KU HAS NOT faced Fort Hays, but Stanclift said he expected the Tigers to be a strong team.
