Gym team journeys to Colorado

Bob Lockwood feels comfortable about the KU men's gymnastics team's trip to Colorado this weekend—except where the weather is concerned, that is.
Yesterday, while cautiously watching the accumulating snow, which he feared would make driving hazardous, Lockwood, KU men's gymnastics' coach, was concerned more about getting to the meets with Northern Colorado today and the University of Colorado tomorrow than about winning them.
if the team does arrive safely, Lockwood said, he thinks KU should join both meetings.
"I JUST HOPE we can get there," he sighed. "Basically, if we hit a majority of our routines, we should beat both teams."
A repeat of their recent performances should be sufficient for the Jayhawks to win.
KU has set new school scoring records in its last four meets.
According to Lockwood, Northern Colorado scores in the 185 point range, not quite up to KU's 206.9 performance last season. Oklahoma and New Mexico Junior College.
CU, though, worries Lockwood more, especially following the Buffalo recent loss by one-tenth of a point to Air Force, a team KU beat by less than 45 percent. The team has achieved 208 points in several weeks, a feat KU, it appears, has become accustomed to repeating.
or if we do a good job of hitting our routines, they can't beat us. Our routines don't work when you're not confident."
ANOTHER SCHOOL school would be nice. Lockwood admits, but he has other priorities this weekend. On Friday, he plans to teach summer classes for former, Brad Foech and Waldo Casarov.
both of whom are slightly hobbled by injuries. Saturday the emphasis will not necessarily be on scoring well, he said, but on completing flawless routines.
"We're trying to smooth out the rough edges," he said. "We need to rest Brad and Waldo, so they can't stress when we really need to work on the court, when we really as much as hitting our routines."
Otherwise, Lockwood said, he thinks the Jayhawks are ready for the weekend.
Foever is recovering from a sprained wrist and Casarez a strained shoulder. A possibility for this weekend is vaulter Mike Lachman, an akke钥 him out of his week's meet.
"We'll test Mike Friday in vaulting to see how he feels," Lockwood said. "If he's ready, he may compete in floor exercise, his other event, Saturday."
"We're prepared, we just need a safe trip in this weather," he said. "That's our tip."
Jayhawks seek to surprise opponents

The way coach Tom Kivisto talks, one would not think the University of Kansas' men's tennis team had only one win in its first three matches.
Yet, entering KU's first competition in two weeks and its final home match until May 4, Kivisto is pleased with the Javahawks progress.
*WERE GOING to surprise a lot of people.* Kivuato came ready as an adult, and he arrived in the play to spring.
This weekend Kansas faces Southern Illinois University and the University of Colorado. Both matches are at Alvamar Ravenet & Swim Club in Lawrence.
There's no question we're mentally ready. I think we're stronger overall than we were a few years ago.
Kivisto said that this weekend in par-
tiicular, the Jayhawks would have a chance to prove their capabilities.
Colorado is picked to finish third behind Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma in the Big Eight race.
Colorado's first doubles team, Skip Smith and Bill Brawer, proved they are among the nation's best when they won the consolation match of the Sheldon Coleman National Indoor doubles tournament last month in Wichita.
C.D. BODAM, Colorado tennis coach,
said, "This was a great meet for Brawer
and Smith. With those results, we should
have one of the top 15 doubles teams in the
world."
Furthermore, No 1 singles player, freshman Bill Godfrey, defeated Arizona's Randall Clark, one of the nation's top players earlier in the season. Second singles
payer, John Evans, has beaten Utah's Kent Crawford, also one of the best prospects in
Kivito said, "most of the coaches think Colorado is better than us, but I think we're
Southern University also is expected to be strong. The only major problem is that it is underfunded.
THE SALUKIS are paced by South African Jelaine and Neville Reilly, French Jerry Bennon and Steve Koch.
"They are strong at the top positions and good in doubles," said Kivisto. "Their coach thinks they are as good as anybody in doubles."
Kivisto, however, says he expects to win this weekend.
"We should win against both SIU and Colorado," he said.

Wilkinson to pros
From the Associated Press, United Press International
ST. LOUIS (UPI)—Bud Wilkinson, whose powerful Oklahoma football teams dominated college football for 17 years, became head coach of the St. Louis dinks yesterday, returning to his first love politics in politics, broadcasting and business.
The unexpected announcement came from club owner Bill Bidwil, who pulled a similar surprise five years ago he plucked Don Coryell from San Diego State and turned the Cardinals into a playoff contender.
"I think that we all have plateaus in our life where what we've been doing, we've enjoyed, but the idea of a new frontier out there is something that gives you a great experience and a very important thing to do," Wilkinson told a large gathering of reporters and team employees.
"I just say the timing was right. As I've said, I am delighted to have the opportunity and the time to do this."
This time the name of Bud Wilkinson was certainly better known than that of Coryell, but reporters questioning him at a news conference wondered whether he would be able to successfully return to football after not coaching since 1963.
Wikisonk's teams at Alabama piled up awesome statistics, including winning streaks of 47 and 31 games, a 6-2 record in post-season competition and an overall mark of 145-204. He was the most victorious in college when he retired 28 years ago.
First base uncertain
FORT MYERS, Fl. (AAP) -- Slugger John Mayberry was on the trading block after last season and a 20-year rookie might be one of the first players to job at first base with the Kansas City Royals.
But Mayberry, 29, isn't discouraged. He's trying to get back on the track that saw him bat. 291, hit 34 home runs and knock in 106 runs in 1975.
"I'm going back to my old way of hitting," he said after batting dozens of balls from a pitching machine during the first day of spring training this week.
I've been too home run conscious. You can't force home runs. I've been trying to do that for at least the last two seasons," Mavberry said.
"I know I've said it before, but I want more than ever to get my mind off going only for home runs. When I was hitting, really hitting, I wasn't thinking home runs all the time. When you are hitting, the home doubles. Doubles are quite a weapon, too," he said.
"Trying for home runs killed me," he said. "I'd wind up grounding out or popping up. Everybody told to tell me what I was doing wrong. I listened. But what I was doing wrong was trying to force home runs," he said.
A's slugger returns
Finely suspended Allen last June 20 after catching him taking a shower during the sixth inning of a game in Chicago, while he was unable to play. He later told a news conference:
MESA, Ari. (AP)—Controversial slugger Dick Allen, his past transgressions forgiven by owner Charles O. Finley, is in back in the fold of the Oakland A's.
A two week layoff since KU's last action apparently has been beneficial to the Jayhawks. At that time two team members, Mark Hoskong and Joe Ruysser, had the flu, and another, Bill Krizman, caught it later. But now everyone is healthy.
Alen reported to the A's training camp, apparently intent on winning back the first baseman's job he held for 54 games at the start of the 1977 season.
"He just decided he wanted to come back," Finley said yesterday, saying he no longer felt as he did last June, when accused Allen of playing him for a sucker.
"I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I wanted to show the world I could be the first to work with Dick Allen. I found out I was like all the other suckers."
Track team to KSU meet
Although part of the KU track team will compete in the Kansas State Federation Track meet in Manhattan tomorrow, the Kansas state is the most important on the Kansas track schedule.
KU head track Coach Bob Timmons said yesterday he was taking from 22 to 24 members to the meet, which occurs midway between the Big Eight Indoor Championships and the NCAA championships.
"It's not a real big deal for us," Timms said. "Some of the guys are competing in their last meet as colleagues, and they want to stay sharp for the NLA's next week."
Timmons said the fact that the meet was optional also gave some of the injured Jayhayks a chance to recuperate in time for next week's national meet in Detroit.
Nine Jayhawks have qualified individually and the mile relay team has been selected. The first team to brist at the Big Eight meet last week and is definitely out of the NCAI meet. Another sprinter, David Blatcher, may miss the Nationals but will miss the Federation meet this weekend.
"We'll just go out there and run." Timmons said. "There will be no pressure on us this week to win. It should be a fun meet."
Crew team formed at KU
1445W.23rd 841-7900
OPENING SOON!
By JIM BLOOM Sports Writer
Did you know the University of Kansas has a crew team?
That's right. Crew, that sport more commonly known as rowing, has come to be a staple.
The man behind it all is Don Rose, who helped establish crew at Kansas State University in 1963 and who is coaching the New Javahkw team.
"The timing is right for crew to come to KU," he said. Rose said that, when Clinton Reservoir was completed, the KU team would have an excellent lake for rowing.
ROSE, WHO has coached at Princeton, where he had two national champions, and at Columbia, said that KU was a logical place for a crew team.
He said that KU got its school colors, crimson and blue, from Harvard and Yale, both of which are traditional powerhouses in the sport. Rose carries a newspaper clipboard. He also drove to Mississippi River. It took place in 1882 on the Kaw River just outside of Lawrence.
The team, consisting of 24 men and 10 women, has been practicing since the first season.
"He just came up to me and a few other guys at enrollment and told us about the team," John Mason, Wichita sophomore, said. "We decided to try it out for a few days. But I can't wait to get on Lone Star Lake."
TEAM MEMBERS have been training for the season by running in Allen Field House and lifting weights in Robinson Gymnasium every day.
Rose said he hoped to get on Lone Star Lake after spring break. The crew will practice and race at Lone Star this season. Rose plans to move to Clinton Reservoir.
Despite the enthusiasm, the team is having some problems.
One is the lack of money. Rose said the team was not supported by the University. It does not receive money from the Athletic Department or Student Senate.
WE DON'T HAVE a budget." Rose said.
"We just wish to make it to all our meet's.
WOLVERINES
Students on the team are going to have to pay their own transportation to the meets.
Another problem is shortage of equipment. KU has none of its own.
To do that, the athletes will remain in Lawrence during spring break and work. They plan to contribute one-half of their wages to the team.
Other universities have been contacted about donating old equipment to the team.
ROSE SAID he hoped to get some equipment from eastern Europe with strong crew traditions.
The University of Nebraska, Wichita State University and Washburn University have lent equipment to the KU crew, Rose said. He said it was hard for these universities to donate equipment because their students all relatively new and were still building.
KU's crew season opens March 25 against Washburn at Lone Star Lake. Rose encourages students to come out and learn about the sport.
