For the KU track team, this weekend could be different from previous weekends the
KU head tractor coach Bob Timmons will have three of his top spinters and his best hurdler back in the Jayhawk lineup for a season. The University of Texas tomorrow in Austin, Texas.
the injury-ridden Jayhawk will have the services of prisoners Cliff Wiley, Kevin Doyle and James Madden.
Wiley has been out of action since the Big Eight Indoor with a broken arm. Blucher ran in the Jayhawks' first outdoor meet before pulling a hamstring tendon. Newell has had recurring hamstring problems since the indoor season. Coleman participated in the first outdoor meet of the season before nulling a groin muscle.
THEIR ABSENCES were a chief reason KU failed to win a relay title at either the Texas Relays or Kansas-Oklahoma Relays this spring.
Titmons should be able to count on points
from their cameras at last week's
Kansas City OAPs game.
Only Blutcher and Coleman are scheduled to go in their regular events at the Texas meet. Wiley and Newell will be limited to the 400 and possibly some relay duty.
Because the Jayhawks are not participating in this week's Drake Relays, Kansas will be blanked in the relay events. Rivers Valley Circuit for the second straight year.
Freshman discus thrower Matt Friedeman will be shooting for an NCAA Outdoor qualifying mark of 180-0. He missed that mark by two inches earlier this month.
TAD SCALES WILL TRY to improve 17-
0=his winning jump last week in the pole vault. Scales has scored for the NCAA
Outdoor and leads Bie Eight pole vaulters.
Mike Morse, Mike Stanclift and Brian
Todd will compete in the javelin throw for KU.
in the distance, Rick Ensz and cameraman Harter will compete in the 1,500-meter race.
Kendall Smith, Bruce Coldsmith and Jeff Hass will compete in the 5,000-meter run.
Butcher, an NCAA Outdoor qualifier in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.2, will compete along with Bob Lozito and James Perform in the long jump. Samuel also will perform in the long jump.
Butler will compete in the 200-meter dash with Stan Whitaker, Lazlo and Ivan Zelenko.
Coleman will try to improve his 110-meter high hurdles time of 13.7 this weekend in Texas. This time qualified him for the NCAA Outdoor next month in Eugene, Ore.

Catcher slugs way into KU record books
By JIM BLOOM
Sports Writer
Gilmore, senior catcher for the University of Kansas baseball team, has come back from his slow start and has hit .377 going into last Tuesday's games with Northwest Missouri State University. During that time he has raised his season average to .300.
"With veteran players you kind of know what they can do." Temple said. "With Andy, I knew he could hit better than he started out. And he has."
HE CAN HIT THE long ball well. "Temple said, "Like against Nebraska, he comes up when we're only one run ahead. He hits a home run to give us an insurance run, and we end up winning the game on his back. He wins that game, he has job he has been doing for us this year."
Gilmore is on his way to setting records in other departments as well.
In addition to raising his batting average in the last 22 games, he also has hit six home runs since his early season slump. He now is a top-hitter on KU's 31-season single-home run chart.
He broke the KU career RBI record of 66 earlier this year and now has 88 as a colleague. His 11 triples, of which he hit his last year, also is a career high by a KU player.
"When I came up here I thought I knew about all there was to know about catching," he said. "But I found out so much that I didn't know."
rts 31 RB1's this year tie his own single-season RB1 record.
BUT OFFENSE IS only part of Gilmore's contribution, but he is a key player for the day by play.
Gilmore is second on the all-time list for career base-hits, and, before the season ends, he should move into second place in career at-bats and runs scored.
Gilmore said he had learned how to call a game and take control behind the plate so the pitcher wasn't burdened with the responsibility.
Omnime said it was easier for the catcher to call the game because he was closer to the batters. He is able to detect different things about each batter to try to get an advantage.
"The pitcher shouldn't have to worry about anything except throwing the pitch I call for," Glmore said. "I used to let them play that, but now they call the signal call, and they just pitch."
"I LOOK at EACH batter when they come up the first time. I try to tell if they stand to the front of the box or to the back, if they step into the pitch or away from it. Just little stuff to help the pitcher out," Glimore said.
Gilmore said he then called for a pitch that he thought would fool the hitter and then tried to let the pitcher know where to throw the ball.
In tight situations, either when runners were on base or in a one-run ball game, Glmire said he went to the pitcher's best pitch and stayed with it until the inning

*With runners on base I always go to the best pitch he has so we can get out of the pitcher.*
After finishing this season with the Jayhawks, Gilmore said he would like to try professional baseball, but he wasn't counting on it.
"I WOULD LIKE the chance, but with my age (21) and the pres wanting young cat, it would be a great idea to be said. "I do want to come back next fall and complete my hours so I can graduate. It would be a bad deal to come up here for four years and then have to go and drive a car."
Gilmore is majoring in personnel administration.

KU women's golf coach Bill Schroeder said last night, from the site of the tournament, that the competition would be for the last year for the two-day tournament.
The team placed second in the Big Eight last year but will have to contend with both the University of Missouri and Oklahoma for the top three positions this year.
in cooperation with African Studies Office of Student Affairs Sociology Department International Club Minority Affairs
FOR MILLIONS
The Jahawks will compete today and tomorrow in the Big Eight tournament in LA.
Schroeder said MU had a strong edge because it was a well-rounded team and OSU had the advantage of good practicing weather.
Booster and Hains had good practice rounds today on the pa-74 course and have been getting better.
He said he was expecting good performances from both Beth Boozer and Nancy Hins, but the team would also need good rounds from Barbara Goolsbe, Sarah Burgess and Pam Gotsche to win the tournament.
The next 36 holes of golf each member of the KU women's golf team plays this weekend could add up to their biggest tournament of the year.
"IF WE HAVE A really hot day tomorrow, we should be able to win it," he added.
