Catch-all
Audy Gilmore, KU's starting catcher since his freshman year, will be counted upon heavily in this week's crucial four-game series against the University of Missouri. Gilmore, a team leader, currently leads the Jayhawks in home runs, runs batted in and total bases.
Texas to test track team
Sports Writer
By RODNEY ANDERSON
For the KU track team, this weekend
did not come from previous weekends
this spring.
KU head track coach Bob Timmons will have three of his top spinters and his best hurdler back in the Jayhawk lineup for a championship at University of Texas tomorrow in Austin, Texas.
The injury-ridled Jayhawk will have the service of sprinters Cliff Wiley, Kevin Koch and Kyle Riddle.
Wiley has been out of action since the Big Eight Indoor with a broken arm. Blutcher ran in the dayhawks' 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 pulling a groin muscle.
THEIR ABSENCES were a chief reason KU failed to win a relay奖 at either the Texas Relays or Kansas-Oklahoma Relays this spring.
Because the Jayhawks are not participating in this week's Drake Relays, Kansas will be blanked in the relay events. Rails circuit for the second straight year.
Timmons should be able to count on points from KU's loner winners at last week's 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.
Freshman discus thrower Matt Friedman will be shooting for an NCAA Outdoor qualifying mark of 180-0. He missed that mark in two inches earlier this month.
TAD SCALES WILL TRY to improve 17-
0-hours winning jump last week in the pole vault.
Leads has qualified for the NCAA
Outdoor and leads Big Eight pole vaulters.
Mike Morse, Mike Stanclift and Brian
Todd will compete in the javelin throw for KU.
In the distance, Rick Ensz and Glenn Harter will compete in the 1,500-meter race.
Kendall Smith, Bruce Coldsmith and Jeff Havs will compete in the 5,000-meter run.
Butcher, an NCAA Outdoor qualifier in the 100-meter dash with a time of 0.22, will compete along with Bob Lozole and James Samuels also will perform in the long jump.
Blutcher will compete in the 200-meter dash with Stan Whitaker, Lozzo and Kyle Johnson.
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.

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.

(The Struggle Continues
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 he end up winning the game on his back." The question is what job he has been done for us the year."
"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."
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 two-time league leader on KU's 31 single-season home run chart.
Gilmore is on his way to setting records in other departments as well.

RISING TIDE
Filmmaker Rovert Van Liarop IN PERSON will discuss the film both nites.
"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."
BUT OFFENSE IS only part of Gilmore's
battlefield. The player is a key
player for the layback.
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.
Gilmore 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 know when I needed it, and the signal call, they just hit."
"I LOOOK 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," Glmared say.
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, Gilmore said he went to the pitcher's best pitch and stayed with it until the inning
jason
After finishing this season with the
Jayhawks, Gilmore he would like to try
professional baseball, but he wasn't
counting on it.
With runners on base I always go to the best pitcher he has so we can get out of the pitchers' zone.
"I WOULD LIKE the chance, but with my age (21) and the pros want young catchers, I think it would be a one-shot deal," he said. "I want to do come back next full and complete my hours so i can graduate. It would be a bad deal to come up for four years and then have to go back and drive a truck or something."
Gilmore is majoring in personnel administration.
But for now, the clean-up man in the Jayhawks' lineup is more concerned with the games this weekend against Missouri.

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.
The Jayhawks will compete today and tour now in the Big Eight tournament in Lansing.

KU women's golf coach Bill Schroeder said last night, from the site of the tournament, that the competition would be a last year for the two-day tournament.
SIGN-UP TODAY AT THE PLACEMENT OFFICE FOR A TALK WITH FORMER PEACE CORPS AND VISTA VOLUNTEERS ON CAMPUS:
Schroeder said MU had a strong edge because it was a well-rounded team and OSU had the advantage of good practicing weather.
Beozer and Hains had good practice rounds today on the par-74 course and have been able to do it well.
"IF WE HAVE A really hot day to borrow, we should be able to win it," he said.
He said he was expecting good performances from both Beth Boozer and Nancy Hons, but the team would also need good rounds from Barbara Goalsbee, Sarah Burgess and Pam Gotsche to win the tournament.
