Arkansas meet to test trackmen
By RODNEY ANDERSON
Sports Writer
Procedent will be just about the only thing helping the KU men's track team tomorrow because the Jayhawks will be going to the Jonesboro game at Jonesboro without some important teams.
Kansas will try for its third straight team tie at the Arkansas meet without sprinters David Bluchter, Keven Newell, Cliff Wiley and Zach Hammond. All produced last year in Jonebrook.
KU men's track coach Bob Timmons may be without the backbone of the KU relay team.
"WERE REALLY LOOKING forward to
pull in, and eventually starting to
pull in together."
Women favored for tourney title

"We realize everyone will be after us," Stancilt said yesterday. "We're the pre-curator."
KU football coach Bob Stancill has no doubts which team is considered the favorite in this weekend's Big Eight softball tournament in Norman, Okla.
KU, winner of last year's tournament,
will try to defend its championship against
six other Big Eight teams. The University of
Colorado will not participate in the tourn-
STANCLIFT SAID Iowa State University probably would give the Jayhawks, 18-6, their toughest competition for the title. KU won in last year's championship game, 6-1.
"No more than I've seen of the Big Eight schools," Iowa State will be the one to attend.
KU probably will regain first baseman Karen Schneller for the tournament. Schneller had injured a thumb in another game and had to be practiced the practiced with the Jayhaws Wednesday.
JUNIOR STARTING pitcher Shelley
sits in the fighters being the flu,
might pitch for KU
She "three some yesterday but we kept her inside," Stantiff said. "She's been on a walk."
KU opens tournament play against the University of Missouri Tigers today at 9 a.m. KU beat MU in last year's tournament opener, 8-4.
Stancliff the Tigers had lost several players from last year's team.
"THEY HAVE A young team," he said.
"Northwest Missouri State, a team we've beaten three or four times, has beaten them."
Should the Jayhawks get past Missouri, they will face the University of Oklahoma at
Oklahoma had drawn the University of Colorado for the first round but was given a bye when Colorado decided not to play in the tournament.
"They'll be rested and waiting." Stancliff said, "I think it's a little unfair that the teacher should not have to stay in line."
Stancliff said the caliber of competition for the tournament would be better than KU had faced in recent double-headers with smaller universities.
The tournament features the strongest two teams in Oklahoma, and Iowa State is second. The Browns are 12-6.
"We played really well last year. I think we have the depth in pitching needed in a team."
Sinclair, senior Paul Hernandez and freshmen Margaret Mah and LuAnn Staniw will complete KU's pitching staff for the tournament.
MU threatens KU soccer team
aware of what took place at Texas last week that guys have ready a lot of pride and we'll be ready
At the Texas Relays in Austin the best Kansas could manage was a fifth-place tie by paulter Tad Scales and a sixth-place finish by the two-mile relay team.
The Jayhawks were hampered by injuries to the grimpers and Coleran. The situation was complicated.
The KU Soccer Club should get a quick clue of what its chances of winning the Big Eight Tournament are this weekend in Boston, and when they face Missouri in the opening round.
The eight teams will be split into two groups of four, and each team will play the three other teams in its group. KU's division is Missouri, Oklahoma State and Nebraska.
In recent years, KU has done well in the meet. Last year the Jayhawks finished third, and two years ago they took first. Now, KU's chances of winning again this year.
The Tigers, traditionally one of the conference's top teams, have made the tourney finals the past three years. So, KU soccer has always been a tough one to know they have their work cut out for them.
"Without a doubt, Missouri will be the tough opponent in our division," Mooney said. "Since they've been in the finals the whole time, we haven't won, they should be anxious to win."
After those three games, the top team from each group will play in the finals. If they are to reach the finals, the Jayhawks must fare well against Missouri.
The other division boasts defending champion Oklahoma, who Mooney describes as "probably the tournament's guard them as the biggest threat to win."
Sophomore sprinter Billy Washington will be the only sprinter return to action tomorrow. He missed the first two meets of the season because of a muscle pull.
COLEMAN IS STILL hampered by a groin pull, Wiley has been slowed by a broken arm he received during the indoor season, Newell is suffering from a muscle pull and Butcher has not competed since the indoor season because of a hamstring
"It should be an interesting contest, but we're certainly optimistic," he said. "We've worked out a lot of team plays, so we're working together very well."
Coleman qualified for the NCAA outdoor meet two weeks ago in the first outdoor meet of the season. He ran 13.7 in the 110-meter hurdles.
"Last year, we did get some points in the shot and the javelin. "Timmons said. "We'll have to score there again if we hope to win. But last year we also had our sprinters."
The rash of injuries leaves Timmons searching elsewhere for points.
Trumps said he was counting on his field contingent to make up for points missed in the game.

FRESHMAN DISCUS THROWER Matt Friedman, who missed qualifying for the NCAA outdoor meet by two inches last week with a throw of 18.5, is one man Timmons with grueling onting on.
In other field events, Paul Titus will replace high jumper Keith Guinn, who will spend the weekend studying for a test. Jay Reardon miss his second straight meet because of a knee injury. Reardon also is a jumper.
Timmons also will count on the javelin team to improve this weekend. Javelin throwers Mark Kostek, Mike Stancilff, Mike Chesnev and Daniel Grove over the 110-foot mark in their careers.
result, Timmons has entered a large number of athletes for this meet.
James Samuels will compete in the long jump and Scales will try to better his 16-1 performance last week in the pole vault. Scales also will run with the 440-yard relay team of Washington, Bob Lozito and Samuels.
"We'll at least try to enter someone in every event this week." Timmons said. "Every point counts and it doesn't make any difference where they came from."
POINT TOTALS WILL be kept for each of the seven teams entered in the Classic. As a
On the track, middle-distance runner Lester Mickens will take his Big Eight Conference leading time of 14:20 in the 800-meter run into the Arkansas State Classic.
Mickens also will run with Jimmy Little,
Stan Whitaker and Tommy McCall on the
Australia tour.
The meet will feature the host team, Mississippi State, and Florida, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma.
DISTANCE RUNNER Kendall Smith will represent the Jayhawks in two events, the 5,000 and 10,000-meter run. Smith has the time of all 10,000 with a time of 31.49.0 earlier this year.
Paul Schultz, Brent Swanson and Paul Malott will run the steeplechip for KU. Schultz is second in the Big Eight in that event.
"We know Memphis State and Mississippi State are tough in the sprints," Timmons said. "I imagine Florida will be a well-ground team and Notre Dame probably will be too."
