University Daily Kansan
Tennis Team Primed for Season
By BRAD REHA Kansan Sports Writer
To most people tennis is a fair weather sport, but that's not true of the University of Chicago.
The tennis team, coached by Mike Howard opens the season against Pittsburgh State here Thursday, and have been practicing since Jan. 25 on a daily basis. When the team can't play outside they move into Allen Field House.
A daily workout, whether inside or outside, begins with a two mile run before practice. That is followed with about an hour of pushups, set ups and agility exercises. The practice session is followed by another mile run.
*Competition for the top six places this year is close. It is just kind of up in the air.*
There are nine men on the squad. The top six men compete in matches. These positions are determined by a challenge system and may be different each week.
Howard feels the challenge system gives

every one an equal chance to prove himself
There are challenges weekly.
During the next two weeks the KU squad will compete in five dual matches and the Oral Roberts Tournament in Tulsa. There will be 19 teams competing at Oral Roberts. Among them will be some of the top ranked teams in the nation.
However, Howard was optimistic about KU's chances. "I think KU can be in the top two or three in the conference. It just keeps getting better, young players come along," said Howard.
The favorite of the Big Eight title chase is the defending champion Oklahoma who is currently ranked 13th in the nation according to Howard. He gave the nod to Colorado for second because they have everyone returning from last year's second place team, and he expects both Missouri and Oklahoma State to be strong.
"Most Big Eight schools are given more scholarships and financial aid than KU," said Howard. MU gives five scholarships, CU gives five each while KU gives only 2%.
The Kansas squad consists of one senior, three juniors, one sophomore and four freshmen.
The Big Eight team is decided by a point system throughout the season which includes five categories.
Howard has been coaching tennis at Kansas for three years. He played college tennis at Oklahoma State where he was the number one player for two years. He has a record of 32-17-6. Eight double titles to his credit. He is currently a second year law student at KU.
dividual titles are determined at the Big Eight tournament.
