Gymnasts face NU
Never in the history of men's gymnastics at the University of Kansas has a team put together three consecutive scores of more than 200 points in meet competition.
And never in the Jayhawks' history has a team been more ready to break that record. The Jayhawks, ranked 14th in the country, meet the eight-ranked Nebraska Corsair huskers in a dual meet at p.4.m tomorrow in Robinson Gymnasium.
"We'll score 200 points," Bob Lockwood, KU men's gymnastics coach, said. "From now on there is no reason why we shouldn't score more than 200 points in a meet."
Lockwood said that Kansas had not defeated the Hickmancursks in 1972 but that it had taken a backhanded approach.
"It's possible to beat them," he said. "But we have a lot of things to do. We have to perform our very best because Nebraska is perforth of its top 10 ranking."
Kansas enters the Nebraska meet after scoring a team record 205.45 points in a triangular match against Air Force Academy and Fort Hays State University last Friday.
The Cornhuskers, scored 211.95 in a meet against the University of Iowa last week without their top three all-around gymnasts.
"We're going all out to win this meet," he said. "We've changed some routines to make them tougher. With the changes we should be a team capable of scoring 210 points."
The Cornhuskers are averaging more than 206 points a meet compared with the Jayhawks' 200.10 points a meet. Lockwood said that many of the Cornhuskers' high score came away from Lincoln and the opposing away from Lincoln could make the meet close.
Swimmers meet OU
After spending the last two weeks on the road, the Kansas men's swimming team returns to Robinson Natatorium Saturday to battle the Oklahoma Sooners in a meet at 2
It will be the final home appearance for the Jayhawks this season. KU travels to Stillwater, Okla., next Saturday for its final meet of the season against Oklahoma State.
The Jayhawks, 5-3 in dual meets this season, are seeking for improvement in the meet against Oklahoma. Bill Spish, KU men's swimming coach, said he thought the Jayhawks were getting better but he was still concerned about certain events.
"I STILL FEEL as if the distance swimmers need to continue to improve," Spah said. "They've made great progress the past couple weeks but they need coping action. I also hope our partners need to get a little faster but that will come with time."
"Our backstroke swimmers on the surface are still weak. But those boys will come through. They've been improving the last couple of weeks and they have potential.
They definitely have the ability to be a [actor in the Big Eight championship."
The Big Eight championships will be held March 24 at Lincoln, Neb. Spahn said that with that meet rapid approaching it was time to prepare to get mentions prepared for dual meets.
"The guys are really looking forward to the championship meet," Spahn said. "But they want to do what works for them and want to use these meetings to get tuned up and to get feeling good."
OKLAHOMA FINISHED THIRD in the Big Eight last year, just ahead of KU. The Sooners lost some of their top swimmers to graduation, however.
"They've got some good individuals," Spain said. "But they don't have much depth. In several events we'll be facing some of the best competition we'll face all
"They have a good swimmer in the 200-yard backstroke, a good spinner and some good people. In the middle-distance they should be on pretty good individual match-ups."
Gym team realistic
Ken Snow, KU women's gymnastics coach, has surendered his team's bid to qualify for the AIWA regional competition and relieved pressure on his gymnasts in the
The Lady Jayhawks must average 118 points in each of their last four meets to
qualify for the regionals, including a fourteam courtment at 7 tonight in Wichita's
Kansas will face Wichita State University, Washburn University and Northwest Missouri State University.
"I would've liked to have gone to the bulbs, but regionalis not my goal." Snow
Snow said tonight's meet would indicate how well the Lady Jawahires would compete.
Tennis team hopeful
The University of Kansas men's tennis team opens its conference season today against the University of Missouri at the Alvamar Racquet and Swim Club.
The Jayhawks, who finished third in the conference last year, have one of their youngest teams in recent years. Only three players from these numbers have intercollege experience.
Despite the team's youth, Tmv Kiato, KU men's tennis coach, said he was optimistic about the team's chances against Missouri.
"I'm pretty impressed with the way the whole team is working," he said. "Missouri is a good team. On paper they look real good."
Kivisto said he expected the highlight of the match to be the singles match between Kansas. All-America candidate, Mark Crawford, was selected, the锦囊, an All-America selection last season.

If events go according to plan, Marian Washington, KU women's basketball coach, will experiment with teams in Des Moines, Iowa, on a two-game weekend trip.
KU hopes to roll on road
The Lady Jayhawks, ranked 18th in the nation, play Grand View College at 7:30 tonight in Des Moines and play Simpson College at 7:30 tomorrow night.
Both teams are unranked but should provide Kansas with a challenge, he is in the lead.
"This weekend should give us a chance to work on a couple of things," she said. "We're going to experiment with a camera in those games if we can build the lead up."
Woodward leads the team in both categories, averaging 24.9 points and 15.9 rebounds a game. Mitchell averages 20.6 points and 10.2 rebounds a game.
"I learned a long time ago that respecting your opposition, regardless of their record, will enhance your own team," she said. "A respect of the opposition will make your own team play with intensity and drive 40 minutes of every ball game."
WASHINGTON SAID her team would be competing against the two teams as if they were playing in a tournament.
Kansas, 15-6, is led by freshman Lynette
Warsaw, junior Adrian Mitchell in
the team.

When you turn off the engine in the middle of the wilderness, the Campinville can into a house. When you're ready to turn in, there's bedroom enough for 2 adults, room
I cana.
Then there's the question of food.
Volkswagen knows that eating out in the wilderness is no picnic. So the Campmobile has an icebox, a cupboard, a dining table, a water tank, and a kitchen sink. If you get tired of rubbing two sticks together, you can even opt for the optional gas stove.
To survive in any jungle you've got to be able to adapt to the environment. The VW Camppilem has an air-cooled engine that presses down on the rear wheels. So it can go places where there's scarcely a road.
It can survive in both jungles.
When you're ready to go back to the asphalt jungle, the bed and table fold out of the way and you've got a station wagon.
with plenty of room.
You've got a wagon that makes your money go farther by going farther on a gallon of gas. The standard shift Commobil got an EA- estimated 26 mgwheel, 17 Cr (Actual mileage may vary, descenting on fuel, car's condition and mechanical equipment.)
You've got an easy-to-handle wagon that helps you get through parking space shortages by being shorter than conventional wagons.
That's why you're going to see more and more Compilers taking the place of big, gas-guzzling monsters. In jungle outposts as well as city parking spaces.
Because the law of both jungles is, after all, survival of the fittest.
