Rain, wet field postpone opener
For the second time this week, wet
the home opener for the University of Kansas
Yesterday's rain forced the cancellation of today's double-header with Believeu (Neb.) College. The soggy mist at Quigley and the storms aided for Wednesday against Wayne State.
The Jayhawks also have a double-header scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Quigley against Washburn University. The fate of that game also is in the hands of the weatherman. Those games may be moved to Sunday's time, if they cannot be played on Saturday.
"IT'S UNFORTUNATE that these games have been canceled," KU head coach Floyd Temple said yesterday, "But that's just water down the drain, and we can't worry about it. We need to play and we can't go back to a game. That would us back to much."
"What we need is an infield cover for Quigley. If we could put a tarp down, we could play Friday and Saturday. Maybe we'll get one some day."
KU, which came back from its annual spring trip to Texas with a 7-4 record, had two outside workouts this week and Temple said they were productive.
"We had excellent practices on Tuesday and Wednesday," Temple said. "The spirit was excellent and they were intensive practices. But we need to play. When you come off a trip like that, the guys are looking forward to playing.
"THEE are TWO or three players that we left home on the trip that I would like to go."
"Washburn is a well coached team," Temple said. "They have always played us pretty good. I don't think they've made a spring trip yet so they might be hurting a bit."
If the games can be played against Washburn, Temple said that he probably would play Clay Christian and Dave Russo. Both pitchers have been off to skiffy starts.
**CHRISTIANSEN HAS the highest earned-run average on the KU pitching staff. He gave up 10 earned runs in 6% innings on the trio for a 13,50 ERA and a 0-4 record.**
Rusch compiled an 0-2 record on the journey and has an ERA of 4.21.
On Monday the University of Nebraska at Omaha moves into Quigley Field for a game.
University of Omaha is a larger school
and they have a good baseball program." Temple said. "We anticipate that they will play好, although this is their opening game. They are getting ready to go on their southern trip. It isn't very often that we catch a team in their first game."
TEMPIE SAID the Jayhawks were looking forward to playing their first game
"They're looking forward to the opportunity of playing for the local people," Temple said. "We've always been pretty successful at home."
Last year the Jayhawks compiled a 12-5 home record.
"We have a lot of new people and the fans are anxious to see us, especially because we're coming off a successful trip" Temple Smith said. "It's a real difficult time because of the weather."
For the University of Kansas men's golf team, the only way to go is up.
KU golfers hope for improvement
After a dead-last finish among 20 teams in their debut at Pinehurst, N.C., the Jayhawks will attempt to improve when they participate in the Morris Williams Intercollegiate Tournament, which runs today through Sunday in Austin, Texas.
The 20-team tournament has drawn several representatives from the Big Eight
TEAMS IN the field from the Big Eight are Kansas, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma and Nebraska. The Southwest Conference schools represented are Houston, Texas, Arkansas, SMU and Texas &M.
John Hanna, KU men's golf coach expects a stronger showing from his team this week.
"I am feeling a lot better now that we have had some playing time. Some of our guys are starting to get in the groove," Hanna said.
Craig Palmer and Max Hedrick, who finished 1.2 for the Jayhawks at Pinehurst, won the NL East Division title.
Filling the three open spots are Doug Plattner, Jimmie Doll and Schwartz.
PLATTNER, WHO was unable to play his third round at Pinehurst because of a muscle pull, showed no effects of the injury this week in practice. The Pittsburg freshman fired rounds of 74-71 to land the No. 3 slot.
"With a little luck, Doug could have been under 70 in the practice rounds. He is hitting up for more."
Doyle and Schwartz, who were headmasters in high school, had totals of 148 and
149 respectively. Steve Gebert missed by one stroke with a 150 total.
THOUGH PALMER and Hedrick did not have to qualify, both fired some low rounds in practice. In fact, Palmer was four-under-par for his two rounds.
"I expect a real good tournament from Craig," Hanna said. "And I think Jim Kemp is starting to come around. He didn't have a win but Pinehurst, and I think he bounce back."
The course at Austin usually yields some low scores. Last year Ed Fiori of Houston, who is now on the pro tour, shot a 64 in the round, which was played in the rain.
"I have heard the course is not in real good shape," Hanna said. "But if it be, it is bad."
