Trackmen shine in opening meet
Sports Writer
By RODNEY ANDERSON
The day was April Fool's Day and the occasion was the Arkansas Invitational, the first meet of the outdoor season for the KU men's track team.
However, it was no jump that seven Jayhawks ran, jumped and vaulted their way to first-place finishes in Saturday's game. Team scores for the meet were not kept.
"We feel really good about this first meet," Bob Timmons, KU men's track coach, said Saturday. "Overall, we had good performances. We were pleased with
BEFORE HE WAS forced to withdraw from the 200-meter dash because of a leg injury, David Blutcher set a meet record in the 100-ward dash, breaking the tape in 10.2.
Hurdler Anthony Coleman tied a meet record with an 13.7 performance in the 110-meter hurdles. Coleman's time tied him with former KU hurder, Dave Stephens for fourth place on the all-time KU list in that event.
In the middle distances for Kansas, Lester Mickens won the 800-meter run in 1:49.2.
That mark ties his best, set last year at the Brotherhood Games in Oakland, Calif.
Sprinters Kevin Newell and Billy Washington suffered leg injuries in the meet. Their injuries, and Blutcher's injury, concerned Timmons.
"FOR THE IMMEDIATE future we're concerned about our sprinters," he said. "It's going to be a challenge to get people ready without reinjuring them."
Timmons said the sprinters not be ready to compete in the Texas Rivers next
In the field events, Mark Kostek placed first in the javelin throw with a loss of 227.5 feet. The Arkansas meet was Kostek's first with KU since the 1976 outdoor season. He sat out last year because of academic problems.
Tad Scales vaulted 16-0 in the pole vault competition to win that event.
JAY REARDON captured the high jump with a leap of 6-10 and Matt Freedman
Competing for the first time in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, Paul Schuh earned a gold medal.
Mike Morse tossed his best throw in the
javelin throw with a toss of 225 25., good for second place.
The mile relay team of Jimmy Little, Stan Whitaker, Tommy McCall and Mickens finished second in the mile relay with a time of 3:12.6.
Timmons said he was pleased with the male relay team's performance, despite having only a week to practice handoffs. He also noted that conditions in Fayetteville as a problem.
"WE FOUND IT tough to adjust to the big rain, the hot weather and the wind," he said.
Timmons said he was not sure how he would select relay teams for future meetups.
The Jayhawks are still without Cliff Wiley, who suffered a broken arm in the indoor season. Wiley competed on KU's 440-yard relay team that finished third at the NCAA outdoor championship meet last year.
Kendall Smith placed third in the 10,000-meter run with a time of 31.49.9. Little finished the 400-meter race in 53.2 to complete the 244-meter race in 34.2 feet; it also good for third place.
Waging a battle to make a comeback after
The KU women's track team successfully opened the outdoor season this weekend, winning five events at the Arkansas Invitational track meet in Fayetteville.
Records fall in women's outdoor opener
Assistant women's track coach Theo Hamilton said he was pleased with the team's performance.
"With the first five place finishes, we're off to a good start," Hamilton said. "We had a good team and individual effort. If they had been keeping team scores, we probably would have won the meet or would have come very close."
Each of KU's first-place finishes also broke the Arkansas Invitational record in college.
Shawn Corwin took first place in the high jump with a jump of 5-7/4. The previous record was 5-4, set by Becky Deetz of Iowa in 1977.
in the 100-meter dash, Sheila Calmese won the in a record time of 11.2. Amy Miles finished third in the race with a time of 12.2.
Football team begins workouts
The Jayhawks first spring effort left KU football coach Bud Moore pleased.
"I thought we were ragged and rusty, but we accomplished some things," Moore said.
Moore singled up Brian Bethek and Bill Lillas as having good practices. Bethek and Lillas are two of five players competing for KU's quarterback position for next season.
"WE AT LEAST got acquainted with the way they picked it up was inspired."
"I thought both Lilis and Bethe did well for the first day," Moore said.
"He's been away from football for awhile. Moore said, 'But he looks good in a jacket.'"
Moore said 6-7, 240-pound Scott Anderson would be playing football for the Jayhawks this season. He said Anderson was listed as a tight end.
Moore also said he was pleased with the efforts of running back Mike Higgins, offensive guard Dennis Balagna and defensive end Lloyd Sobek.
Rowing team loses its first competition
Normally, a coach would 'tlook upon his team's being shut out as promising. But the rowing match between KU, Kansas State and Washburn was not quite normal.
KU, in its first rowing competition, lost the men's four-man crew race by three lengths to Kansas State, the four-woman crew race by three lengths to Washburn and the eight-man crew race by seven lengths to Kansas State.
KU rowing coach Don Rose, though, couldn't feel better" about his team's performance.
Rose said his team's attitude was not dampened by the performance, especially since, he admitted, "there's a lot of improving for us to do."
1. thought we showed a lot of promise,” he said, “especially considering the short period of time we had to prepare. Our people have to get used to racing.”

Charmae Kuhman won the 400-meter dash with a record-breaking time of 54.2. The old record of $8.0, set in 1977, was held by Trudi Rebefher of Iowa State.

Their time of 47.3 broke the old record held by Iowa State's 440 yard relay team of 50.4.
IN 1975 HE set a school record in that event with a leap of 7.4. After that jump, Guinn had a succession of knee problems, and he eventually brought him to undertook the series of operations.
Kuhman set a KU record in the long jump and finished second with a jump of 19-4½. Corwin took fourth place in the event with a jump of 17-11¹.
The next meet for the women's track team is the Nebraska Relays at Lincoln April 18.

If you're going to spend over $1,000 on a component system, make sure you hear this one first.
We have just put together a new $1300* stereo component system unlike any ever offered in its price range. We wouldn't hesitate to compare this system to combinations costing between $2,000 and $3,000. If you have been toying with the idea of a budgeted system, haven't found one you thought was worth the money, this is something you've really got to hear:
This week the Jayhawks begin preparations for the first leg of the Midwest Relays circuit, the Texas Relays. Timmons said he would not take as many people to Austin, the site of the relays, as he did to Arkansas Saturday.
The Powered Advent Loudspeaker. The Powered Advent Loudspeaker is much more than just a loudspeaker. It is a two-way loudspeaker, two power amplifiers, three analog computers and an active equalizer all rolled into one, amazing package. Because it it is "blimpified" (it uses two built-in power amplifiers), the Powered Advent has remarkably little noise that can be heard in any capacity that's easier to hear than to describe. One thing that's not hard to describe is its ability to achieve life-like volume levels even on the most demanding rock or orchestral passages without everything, the Powered Advent will make you change your mind.
The Advent Model 300 receiver. Like their powered speakers, Advent's Model 300 is also more than its name indicates. A better name would be the Advent Model 300 preamplifier/tunerpower amplifier. Its FM tuner can pull in as many as five channels as the most expensive of separate-chassis tones. Its phone preamplifier section was rated by one audiophile publication as being superior to a well-known $1,800 preampl. And because the Power Advents have their own built-in power model 300, the Advent Model 300 can be used to drive remote extension speakers or one of the new digital delay systems.
To complete the system we chose the combination of the Sansui SR-333 turntable and the Shure M1-MED magnetic cartridge. Up until a year ago, it got the features and parity, but in 2016, would have taken a lot more money.
If you're planning to spend over $1,000 for a stereo system, be sure you hear our $1300 bargain first.

Before last weekend, KU soccer coach George Mooney probably would have been happy with a victory and a tie in games against Emporia State and Kansas State Universities. Mooney got his victory and tie weekend, but not quite as he had figured.
The Jayhawks' tie was with Emporia State State, a 1-1 game. Mooney had

expected the game to be a warm-up for yesterday's match with K-State. However, there was a turnaround in the game.
"WE DOMINATED most of the game against Emporia, but we just couldn't put the ball into the back of the net," Mooney said. "We were at State, which traditionally has a good team."
