3 go to Milwaukee
Three members of the KU tennis team spent part of their winter break hard at a tournament in Washington.
The three, Chel Detiller, Oklahoma City sophomore, Carrie Fotopolou, Prairie Village junior, and Mary Stauffer, Topeka High School graduate, Milwaukee Hills Classic 6, through 8.
KU tennis coach Tom Kivisto said he sent the players to the tournament because of the absence of his team.
"BESIDES MILWAUKEE there were two other tournaments, one in Memphis and another in Amarillo," Kivisto said. "I chose the Milwaukee tournament because I thought the quality of competition would be better."
In women's singles Fotopoulos was eliminated in the preliminaries 2-6, 4-6. Stauffer won her first match 2-6, 7-6, 4-6, but lost in the quarter finals 2-6, 2-6.
In women's doubles, the team of Fotopolou and Stauffer won their preliminary match by default but lost in the final. The team from the University of Wisconsin 4:6-3. 6
In men's singles Collier won his preliminary match 8,0-6; but lost in the quarter-finals to the United States' All American Jai Dalou from Southern Methodist University 4,: 2-6.
FOTOPOULOS AND Collier, fourth seeded in mixed doubles, won their match 6-3, 6-2. They were defeated in the final by Tommy Fury from the University of Wisconsin 7-5, 4-6, 4-6.
Staffer and John Olson from New Mexico State also won their preliminary mixed-doubles match, but lost to a team from Brigham Young in the quarter-finals 1-6, 1-8.
The men's next indoor meet will be February 17 and 18 at Alavar Racquet Club against Southern Illinois at Edwardsville and Wichita State University.
The women's next indoor meet will be February 24 and 25 in Springfield, Mo., where they will face Southwest Missouri State, Tula and Stephen College.
Trackmen win meet
Hardly noticed amid the clamor over KU's top 10 basketball team and the confusion of enrollment, the 1978 indoor track season opened last week with a victory.
Strong performances in the running events furnished most of KU's points and compensated for a lack of depth in the field events in victory over Southern University.
KU track coach Bob Timmons said he was not surprised by the meet results or inquiries.
"WE DIDN'T do too badly for our first
meet," he said. "We could stand some improvement in the field events, but we're in pretty good physical condition for this time of year."
In excellent condition was KU's track sprint corps, led by world-class sprinter Nathan Foster. He set a record in the 60-yard dash against SIU with a time of 6.0 seconds. Finishing second and third, one-tenth of a second behind Wiley, were David Blutter and Kevin Newell,
Wiley, Blutcher and Newell all qualified for the NCAA indoor championships in March. Also qualifying for the national meet was Katherine Minker, who won the 404-yard dugout in 2013.
Junior college transfer Lester Mickens opened the season with a victory in the 600-yard dash and third place in the 880-yard run.
HURDLING BOTH high and low again this year will be Anthony Coleman, who placed first in the nation for HUU and Coleman are James Samuel, Laval Scott and Mike Windheuser.
Slew's ills continue
NEW YORK (AP)—The mysterious infection that struck Street Slew has cleared up, Mikey Taylor, co-owner of the street where he was uncertain about the horse's future.
Taylor said by telephone from Slew's barn at Hialeah Park in Florida that he would like to race Slew because "he looks like his okay, but we haven't made a decision."
However, Taylor, who owns the colt with Dr. Jim Hill, said the 1977 Horse of the Year definitely will not race in the $100,000 Hialeah Challenge Cup Jan. 28.
"There's no way we can race," Taylor said. "He could go a mile and an eighth Challenge Cup distance on works alone but it would put him out for a month. Besides, we don't know when he's going to get back to the track."
Steele Slew, who has not raced since he was badly beaten in the Swaps Stakey July 3 for the only loss in his 10-race career, had been training for a what would have been a prep race Monday. Then last Friday he developed a temperature of 102.1 degrees.
"Last night was the first night I got to sleep," Taylor said, noting that for a 12-hour period Seattle Slew didn't eat or drink and that the colt's bodily functions stopped.
"All the systems just stopped. Our system stopped, too," said Taylor, adding that a touch of panic replaced the optimism built by Siew's training. "We gave him a blood test, and the blood test showed he had an unbelievable infection."
The fever broke Saturday and Seattle Slew now seems to be all right again. "We didn't treat him for a fever so we know we're not hiding a fever," said Taylor.

Women cagers return from East

Battling injuries, sickness and sluggish play, the University of Kansas women's basketball team limped home yesterday from a seven-day, four-game East Coast

Lynette Woodward and Adrian Mitchell combined for 57 points and 22 rebounds to pace the Kansas attack. KU shot 48 percent from the floor and led throughout most of the game.
Sickness and sloppy play contributed to Kanaas' '042 loss to Kutgers University

"Rutgers was just a bad game for us," Marian Washington, KU women's basketball coach, said. "I don't want to make excuses, but two of our starters were just about ready to keel over there on the court."
Mitchell and Woodard combined for 20 points in the low-scoring contest.
IN THE RUTGERS game, Woodward was
