Team faces Drury
Still traveling the road of preparation for the Big Eight Championship meet in March, the Kansas men's swim team journeys to Springfield in a dual meet against t.m. t.p. today.
The Jayhawks, 3-2 in duel meet this year,
will be facing one of the toughest small
situations in the league.
"Drury is rated second in the NAIA," Bill Spahn, men's swimming coach, said. "They're a good small college team. They've had some pretty good times so far this year and I expect a good meet. We will have to swim well to beat them."
Last year the two teams faced off against each other in Lawrence. The Jayhawks won,
Spahn says he has continued to work the KU team hard in practice this week. He isn't ready to let the Jayhawks ease off as they continue to build for the championship
"WE'VE BEEN WORKING real hard this week," Spahn said. "We're not taking Drury lightly, but our whole season is built around the Big Eight championship. That is our season. But we still like to do well in our dual meets."
The climb towards the championship is a long one, however, and Spahn knows that it
"We've been consistent," Spahn said.
"The guys have been doing a good job. I just hope we keep getting better each week. We'll be better when we get rest."
Spain hopes to see some improvements in the Jahewah's distance freestyle events in the meet against Drury. For that reason the changes on KU's list of tentative events
Freshman Steve Graves and Jay Keruts are listed for the 500-yard freestyle against Drury. Neither have swum the event in competition this year. Swimming in the 1,000-yard freestyle for KRU should be Doug Docking or Focking and Peter Backer-Arkema.
NU challenges KU
Facing, a tough Nebraska team, the Kansas women's swim team teams out its home season at 6 tonight with an important meet at Robinson Natatorium.
KU's women's swim coach Gary Kemp, thinks Nebraska is the Jayhawks' strongest challenger in the Big Eight Conference. He said the winner of tonight's meet should be established as the favorite to win the Big Eight Championship meet.
"The way I look at it right now, Nebraska is the strongest contender to dethrone us in the Big Eight," he said. "Of all the teams in the NFC, we have one that is the most. They have good, strong girls."
UNDEFEATED SO FAR this season, the Jayhawks already had a good look at the Cormhuskers. KU participated in the University of Nebraska Invitational earlier this season. However, Kempf said things were different in a dual meet.
"it's a completely different situation in a dual meet," Kemps said. "Deph is a little less important than it was in the Invitational. We've seen how good our depth is; now we have to see how strong we are overall."
"Nebraska matches up with us very well. There should be good races in every event. It should be one of the best meets we've had this year."
Gym team in dual
The University of Kansas women's gymnastics team will travel to Stillwater, Okla., for a meet with Oklahoma State and Missouri State University at 7 tonight.
Call it intuition, but Ken Snow, KU's women's gymnastics coach, says he has a feeling the Lady Jayhawks will perform up to their ability.
"Overall we seem to be improving," Snow said. "We're improving on our uneven parallel bar routines. We're not doing anything, we're just doing what we do a little better."
Snow said the team had recovered from individual cases of the flu and other injuries.
"WE'RE LOOKING better and better all the time," he said.
KU meets Sooners
The KU women's track team will begin its indoor season Sunday when they meet the University of Michigan.
The track team is starting the new season with a young squad. Two new coaches, Teri Anderson and Theo Hamilton, and assistant coach Aaron Hove will run the team.
Anderson said that although Oklahoma had strong individuals competing in certain events, KU should win the team competition.
"We have more quality athletes and the team." Anderson said. "Our team is balance and good teamwork."

Kansas has lost five of its last seven games among a 66-45 loss to Kansas
KU's women's basketball coach, Marian Washington, said that the team was disappointed about the loss to the Wildcats because I would serve as an incentive this weekend.
"I'm sure they're very disappointed," Washington said. "But you can't be down. This team is not going to sit back. We're going toier our opponents from the open tipoff."
KANSAS FACES the Baylor University Beavers, 10-15, in the first round of the tournament, beginning at 9 o'night. Kansas State, 10-11, plays the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, 10-4, at 7 p.m. in the opening game.

Baylor coach Olaiga Fallen did not know much about the Lady Jayhawks.
"I feel this situation will be to our advantage," she said. "I don't think Baylor will be able to anticipate our quickness. It could be worse, but it could work the other way also."
9th and Iowa
Washington said Kansas would approach the Baylor game as it would any other.
"We're going to play Baylor as if they are the No. 1-ranked team in the nation," she
said. "We're not going to give them anything."
