Trackmen await outdoor opener
Sports Writer
By RODNEY ANDERSON
A new season means a new start, and KU men's track coach Bob Timmons is ready for it.
The Jayhawks, hoping to improve on a disappointing indoor season, will compete in a nine-time field tomorrow at the Arkansas Invitational in Favelleville, Ark.
"None of us are going to spend our time belaboring ourselves about what we did, or did not do, during the indoor season," he said. "We're in a new season now and we're excited about it."
AFTER WINNING THEIR second straight Big Eight Indoor title in February, the Jayhawks scored only two points at the NCAA Indoor Championship Meet three times. That was KU's lowest finish ever at the indoor tournament. KU placed in a nine-way tie for 43rd place.
To compound problems, KU lost spritter Cliff Wiley for an indefinite period of time. Wiley broke his arm in a diving finish at the Big Eight meet.
After the indoor season, the Jayhawks were unable to hold outdoor workouts until last week because of a late Kansas spring, when they've been a leville with barely a week's work outdoors.
"You're always handicapped when it's

"It takes time to get used to new events and distances—the wind, baton exchanges and a lot of other things.

be used to evaluate the team's progress early in the outdoor season.
He said it would take time to make the equipment from indoor to outdoor competition.
Because of injuries and the uncertain day-to-day status of some team members, Timmons has been forced to juggle the roster to fill holes in some events.
KU MAY COMPETE without jumper Jay Reardon. He was slated to compete in the long and high jump tomorrow but suffered a recurrent injury to his left knee this week in
Wiley's injury leaves Timmons with a hole to fill on KU's 440-yard relay team, from last season. He is the last year. Sophomore Billy Washington will replace Wiley. He'll join Anthony Coleman, David Blutcher and freshman James Cummings. Then another casualty of the indoor season.

FRESHMAN DISCUS thrower Matt Friedman will join KU's top returning weight man, Richard Foster. At Great Bend High School, Friedeman was the third-ranking discus thrower in the country last year.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what our jawliness and discuss men can do." Turrums said. "They've been working hard all year and are anxious to compete. Because of the weather, however, they are and much of a chance to work outside."
Timmons said he was eager to see what his team could do.
"We're very optimistic," he said. "We're not upset about injuries, the weather and the transition. We just accept all of that and we're going to do the best we can."

KU tennis team primed for Stephens rematch
The women's tennis teams of the University of Kansas and Stephens College already have met this spring, but the match ended in an 3-1 tie.
KU tennis coach Tom Kivisho thinks that the Jayhawks could have won the match if the regular nine matches had been played instead of an abbreviated six set match.
The Lady Jayhawks will get a chance to prove Kivio right when they meet the Columbia, Mo., school again tomorrow on the courts behind Allen Field House.
"THEY'RE AWFULLY good," Kivisto said. "But matches are won on consistency.
"I think we're better down the line. They're tough in the high numbers, but we're better at five and six singles and two and three doubles."
The two teams faced each other in the fall season in a full nine-game match, and the Jawhaws came out on top 5-4.
"Our strong point is our depth," Kivisto said. "On paper it looks as though we should win. We're better than they
are in doubles and about even with them in singles."
In the previous match this season during the round-robin Southwest Missouri State Invitation, Stephens won three of four games and came back to take both doubles matches.
BUT THAT FIRST meet, between Stephens and KU was inunded. Saturday's match will mark KU's first home outdoor match and also its first outdoor competition since the spring break trip two weeks ago.
"Outdoors can act as kind of an equalizer," Kivisto said. "Wind or something can make two teams equal.
Though Kivisto insists that the Lady Jayhawks are a stronger team outside, they have only been practicing outdoors and have not yet encountered any rainy weather.
Kiviste said he expected improvement because he thought the Jayahaws had conquered their two biggest problems—the weather, and more recently, lack of concentration.
