'Hawks face Creighton on diamond

Sports Writer
The Kansas baseball team will take a break from its Big Eight conference schedule today against Creighton in Field. The field will game start at 1:39 p.m.
KU coach Floyd Temple said that he planned to give most of his staffing some work during the double-hander. Mike Watt, 22, and Kurt Kaifes, 34, would be the first two in line. The wounds does not plan to let any pitch go more than *n* three innings on the mound.
AFTER JUMPING OUT to a 64 start in the Eastern Division of the Big Eight, KU has now lost five of its six outings. The Jayhawks dropped three of four games to Missouri over the weekend and fell to third in division behind the Tigers and Nebraska.
but KU batters continue to swing some hot bats. During the series with Missouri, the Jayhawks failed to get the clutch hits they needed. Temple is concerned with the team's lack of pace. KU left nine men on base in the first four sittings of its 3-5 loss to Missouri Saturday.
"If we keep leaving people on base who have an opportunity to score, we'll be in bad shape." Temple said. "We have to start learning when in scoring position to be successful."
Brian Gray and Matt Gundeflanger have the hotest batts for the hottest game, with a 398 batting average. The left-handed first pitch was a 47% chip during the 12 conference games.
GUNDELFINGER IS hitting .390 and boasts a slugging percentage of .800. He
leads the team in home runs with 10 and
runs batted in with 34.
Kansas is 21-11 overall. Missouri leads the Eastern Division with a 10-2 record. North Carolina ranks third with a 7-4 mark. The Jayhawks will resume conference play this Friday and Saturday in Iowa, against Iowa State. The Coyotes are 44 and in last place in the division.
Oklahoma State has a 9-3 record and a three-game lead over Oklahoma in the Western Division.
Witchita natives' hopes high for homecoming
Sports Writer
By PATTI ARNOLD Sports Writers
When the KU football team takes the field in Wichita tonight, two players will be seeing the double-headed from a different angle from last year.
Tracy Estes and Christy Posey, both of whom transferred to KU from Wichita State this year, will be among five players from KU with Wichita connections.
ESTES SAID THE reason she left Wichita was that the women's athletic department was having problems and that her coach was fired.
Jill Larson, Parm Cox and Shawn Myrtle will play the game again, the reason game at a趴, KU coach Bob Stancliff said. The games will start at 5 o'clock that the parents and friends of the players will join.
"I left because there was too much discrimination within the department," she
said. "They were trying to get the women's program equal to the men, but there was so much fighting within the women's department they couldn't do anything.
"The athletic director wasn't doing anything for us. We were a young team last year and we got along well. But there was nothing to work with."
Estes said that the emphasis at Wichita State was placed on basketball, and that the volleyball and softball budgets were combined, forcing her decision to transfer.
THE DISCIPLINE on the field in Wichita last year was practically non-existent, Estes said, while the program at KU was different.
"It wasn't what I anticipated," she said. "I had no idea it would be so bad. I could see how much I needed to deteriorate when I came in. I wasn't getting the fundamentals down."
Estes said tonight's games would be exciting.
"They want to beat us really bad," she said. "My friends there have been giving me a hard time about it. I know the big thing when I was there to beat KU."
THE SHORTSTOP SAID she was exicted to be in a KU uniform for tonight's same.
"I've been looking forward to this all year," she said. "I went back to watch practice on one of our days off. There is so much difference in the two teams.
Crew team has greatest moment
The KU crew team had its finest moment in its brief history last weekend, according to Coach Don Rose.
"They performed better than any other time this season," he said. "It was overall the finest moment in the five semesters Kansas has had rowing."
In the men's varsity eights, KU was barely nipped by Nebraska for second place. Kansas State won in 1947. Nebraska
was next in 2:05.12 followed by KU at 2:05.74.
The women's varity finished second, eight seconds behind Kansas State and one second ahead of Nebraska.
KU's men's freshmen team also finished second, sandwiched between the Nebraska B team and Nebraska A team.
The KU's next competition is Saturday in the Midwestern Sprint Championships in Madison, Wisc.

Track walk-on runs up storm
By DAVID LEWIS Sports Writer
Bruce Mayfield, a walk-on for KU's track team, lives by a simple motto: "I run for fun and I run for free."
But Mayfield has not been running in circles. He placed seventh in the Kansas Relays marathon Sunday and earlier this year also joined in tussle in Tulsa's Oil Capital Marathon.
his time of 2.28.30 at Tulsa is KU's second all-time best, and is only seven minutes short of qualifying him for the Olympic trials.
MAYFIELD RUNS four hours a day, seven days a week. In that time, he covers 120 to 140 miles. He loves to run, but says running is not his life.
"I don't want to be buried in my track spikes," Mayfield said. "I don't want to be labeled a track guy; there are other parts of me. I am just doing something I love."
"I don't live in my track sweats and Bill Rodgers (winning of four Boston Marathon) is not my hero. And I also don't read track magazines in my snare time."
When Mayfield manages to find some spare time, he usually hits the books. A somborem, he has a 34 GPA.
"I think running helps my grades," he said. "For all I know, if I wasn't running I might be going to the bars or watching the Angie Griffith Show."
HELF ALSO finished seventh in last year's Relays marathon. He said he was not pleased with his performance this year.
"I denelgge my time to what I think is worthwhile. If I have extra time, I really want to do something. I don't want to stare out the window."
"I was not happy at all," he said. "My goal was to break the school record. I felt like jello the eight miles. My dad rode the whole way and had to keep on me.
"It's the first time I had ever wanted to stop. I knew if I stopped, I would be done."
Mayfield did not stop. In fact, sometimes he does not know when to stop. This week, he
plans to run in the marathon at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Doctors say that running back-to-back marathons is highly advisable.
"The more you feel your body, the more you know your body," Mayfield said. "I can come to grip with my limitations. People go to a therapist for treatment for granted. They don't know its limitations."
"There's more to your body than you can feel. Running is something I can enjoy. It gives me a chance to surprise myself."
MAYFIELD, WHO is from Overland Park, has been known to surprise others, too.
Mayfield also plans to run from Overland Park to Omaha, the home of his grandparents.
"When I got home, my mom asked me where the car was and I told her that I ran home. She said, 'Bruce, are you all right?' "
"One time, I got up early in the morning," he said, "and gave my sister Peggy my laundry. I decided to run home. People were stunned by it, and the weekend would hank as they went by."
"It's 200 miles to the tenth from the doorstep of my house to the doorstep of their house," he said. "I plan to do it in three days."
Mayfield, a graduate of Shawnee Mission West High School, may have given his high school track coach, Clark Hay, the biggest surprise of all.
"I was never outstanding in high school," Mayfield said. "My coach said to never go out. He said I would be very disappointed."
BUT THE LANKY Mayfield has not disappointed anyone. His specialty is the 10,000-meter跑. Unfortunately for Mayfield, marathons are not official NCAA
KU track coach Bob Timmons redhirted Mayfield last year, so he has three years of eligibility remaining after this season.
"I'm improving steadily," Mayfield says. That's not bad progress for someone who runs for fun.
