Friday, April 28, 1978 9 Tournev hopes ride on MU series By KEN DAVIS Sports Writer Floyd Temple has seen the University of Kansas baseball team play 67 games while carrying out the duties as head coach of the Jayhawks for the oast 25 years. But he will be the first to say that the four games between KU and Missouri this weekend are the most important in the history of the University. The two teams will open the series with a doubleheader at 1:30 this afternoon at Quigley Field and square off in another twinbill Saturday at 1 n.m. By winning three of the four games, KU would win the Big Eight's Eastern Division. A split in the series would give the Jayhawks a second-place finish and a berth in the conference playoffs in Oklahoma City, Okla. May 17, 2013 Losing more than two games in the series could mean that the Jayhawks, 26-9-1, would have to be beaten. "YOU HAVE TO call it the most important because we haven't had as much at work." Missouri now stands at the top of the Eastern Division by percentage points. The Tigers are 5-1 in conference play for a 833 percentage. Muh had two games rained out in the first weekend of conference play against Nebraska. KU is in second place with a 6-2 record and a winning percentage of .750. Nebraska, 2-4 in the Eastern Division, takes on Iowa State in three games (1-2). If KU should fail against Missouri, KU would be assured of a playoff berth providing that the Cornhuskers lose two of their games in Ames, Iowa. But Temple does not want to rely on that. "We have to win it ourselfs," Temple said. "I'd rather beat Missouri than depend on Nebraska losing. We kind of backed into it last year and I don't want to do that." LAST YEAR MISSOURI won the division with a 9-1 record and the Hawkeyes were ranked fourth. with a 5-7 record, even though the Cornhawk has overall record = 29-13 compared to the Browns. University Daily Kansan "Winning three would be a moral victory," Temple said. "Winning the division really doesn't mean anything. The big shootout is down in Oklahoma City. "The players are pretty loose. They know it's important, but they've come from behind a lot of times this year and that's pressure. We'll find out how they will react never know until you've been there. The only thing I'm trying to do is keep them loose." The temple says the only advantage the templehawks have in the series is playing on the cliff. MU, 29-12 OVERALL, leads the Big Eight in team hitting and team fielding. KU is fourth in both areas. Missouri is second in team passing and has a average of 3.28. KU has with a 3.36 mph. The Tigers bring a team batting average of .318 with them. They have eight players. Leading the way is shortstop Greg Cypret. He checks in with a 410 average, live home runs and a .283 ERA. Brown is hitting .366 and has four home runs. KU, having a team batting average of .299, is led by right fielder John Spottswood, who is hitting .348. The Jayhawks have six players batting more than 300. On the mount, MU is led by Rob Pietrobrueg, 7-1, who has a 3.10 ERA. He and Tom Bloemke who is 4-2 with a 2.60 ERA will pitch today. TEMPEL WILL counter with Dave Rush, 2-3, and Terry Suttlecock, 7-6, this afternoon. Either temple in Game 4 will start on Saturday's starters. Dan St. Clair, 6-1, and Kevin Kerchen, 5-3, may start for KU. Probable hurriers for MU are Heckman K-2, and 5-2. "We've had some erratic pitching," McArtor said. McArtor also said he thought that the Jayhawks would have an advantage by playing at home. He said it would make it more difficult for the Tigers to defend their "We had to play Nebraks and Kansas both on the road." McArton said. "That was tough," he said.

FOXes have holes, and the bird of the air have nests, but the Son of Jesus turned back one follower. — And to still another who said he wanted to follow after he had attended to some other affairs: "He that putteth his hand on the plow and looketh at the cornfield, let me hear you write and expressed himself as believing that most of our present day "revival" are farcet There are grounds for such an attitude; we call folks to join the Church, accept Christ, teach and teaching and improving upon them the ABC's of the Faith. "COME AFTER ME! I have not leamed the C's in the ABC's of Christianity it is because we never really learned to deny self. In The Sermon on the Mount Jesus said: 'Not every one that saith unto Me Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth with my Father lays down his life in the name of God; Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful things from me, that you may depart from me, ye that work involuntly.' How of us church members are definitely and deliberately making effort day by day to learn of and to know Him, who to know is "B" — BEAR THE CROSSbearing does not mean just patiently enduring the aches and pains and disappointments and losses more or less common to all men in the military, but also suffering from the suffering at the hands of an evil world, men, and devils because of their hatred andrage against the righteousness and holiness of God, His Word, Moral Law — Ten Commandments. Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25 "Let us head the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his Commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgement, with which, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Eccles. 12, 13, 14. Last week we promised that we would speak on the ABC's of Christianity. This after stating most of us don't know the scriptures, or realize the Power of God nor the ABC's of Christianity. Here are they, consider them. "A" — ABANDON SELF, "B" — BEAR THE CROSS, "C" — COME AFTER ME, JESUS CHRIST, GOD! In John 7: 73 says the "world hates Me, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil." He wore forgiveness, or did we never know it, that when Jesus began His ministry and went back to his home town of Nazareth, he what made the folks so mad that they took him out of town to howl at him. He said that he had a broken arm with, and He just walked away and left them Do we know Who are dealing with in our churchunity? We think we believe in Christ! Test it out with the question He asked in John 5:46: "How can you be believed, which receive honour of God, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?" P. O.
