Friday, March 24.1978 q Gymnasts face rugged competition Sports Writer By STEVE HERBERT Regardless of the fact his team had its "most successful season in history, University of Kansas men's gymnastics coach Bock Lockwood admits his team will do well to finish fourth in this weekend's Big Eight Championship. The meet begins today and runs through Saturday night at Lincoln. Neb. Lockwood is conceding the first three places to Oklahoma, Iowa State and Nebraska, in an effort to fight for fourth place in the five team meet. And, since the Buffaloes were the victors in a dual meet three weeks ago in Colorado, they are now facing hawks and bengenance on their minds. "WE'RE DETERMINED to beat Colorado. He said, 'I don't think we are on a level to compete with the top three teams. We can win it.'" "And let the scores take care of themselves." The meet promises to be a close battle between Iowa State and Oklahoma. Although Oklahoma boasts the titles of defending conference and co-national champions and is currently ranked No. 1 in the country, Lockwood calls Iowa State the favorite. The Cyclones had a string of eight consecutive conference titles broken last spring. Because OU relies so heavily on its two premier gymnasts, Martine Corner and Mike Bauer, OU has no options. by injuries, the Cyclones 'depth could be the decidifier factor in the meet. Lockwood said. "I TALKED TO THE Indiana State coach and he's met both teams," Lockwood said. "He thinks Iowa State has the horses to win the Big Eight. It will be very interesting." The meet, unless the Jayhawks are graced with magic and win, will conclude KU's season. KU compiled a 7-4 dual meet record and scored more than 200 points in six meets. Before this season, the Jayhawks had never scored 200 points in a meet. In an impromptu intrasquat meet during break, the Jayhawks score 401.55. The key to repeating that performance today and tomorrow in the conference meet, Lockwood said, is hitting the routines he hopes the Jayhawks know well by now. Hoping to improve on its doubles play, the KU women's tennis team will face the university of Minnesota this morning at 11 a.m. on Tuesday for the Nebraska tomorrow morning at 9. KU tennis coach Tom Kivisto made some changes in the team's second and third doubles spots on the team's recent spring trip. Bridget Guilfoil and Kathy Merrillon will now be at second doubles, and Lissa Leonard and Shari Schrufer will team up at the third nort. Tennis team seeks doubles improvement "11THINK we found ourselves in a rut with the last alignment," Kivistai said. "We look for this kind of work." Kivisto said the team was excited about the new pairings. "I's thrown in some new blood," Kivito said. "What we need in experience, we'll learn." Nonetheless wins won't come easily this weekend because Nebraska was the Big Ten champion. "NEBRASK IS even stronger than last year," Kivisto said. Minnesota finished third last season in the Big Ten, a league Kaviox thinks may be slightly stronger than the Big Eight. Like expected to be even stronger this season. "They are picked to either win it or place second," said Kivitos. "They are one of the winners." The 5-4-1 Jayhawks are coming off a 4-3 spring trip against some of the nation's best competition and Kivisto thinks they are as ready as ever. The meet's eight highest scorers through today's compulsory session and Saturday afternoon's optional session will compete in the finals Saturday night. KU's favorites for the finals are Sean Williams, who holds the conference's fourth highest score in the final, Orton Roman, with the sixth highest score in the third, Rachel Kelly, tied for the seventh highest score in the horizontal bar; and Mark Folger, with the fifth highest score in the parallel bars. "We'll be as ready as the two teams we meet this weekend," he said. "I feel we're going to do it." This morning's Minnesota match will be the first on KU's new resurfaced courts just west of Allen Field House.
