would be great but being the best in the nation, playing Wimbledon and making the pro circuit were more what he was aiming for.
"I run two miles every night with my three dogs and I practice from 3 to 6 every afternoon," he said yesterday. "That's the only way to get better."
If you don't already know, Goffi is a tennis player and one of the best to ever play at KU. He's the No. 1 singles player on the court in the world and a champion in his native country of Brazil.
"Technically, I m equal to Stan Smith and the like," he said. "But I might perform greatly one day and then poorly the next." He added: "I'll use my strength to sten to take it as the one we continue consistently."
Goffi came to KU last year after playing three years for Corpus Christi University. Corpus Christ dissolved its tennis program last year because of financial problems, and when KU Coach Mike Howard found out, he kicked Goffi off Corpus and persuaded him to come to KU.
And being the best is what's important to him. He said being the best in the Big Eight

really don't know but why there were a lot of things involved in the decision."
The two teams that will compete with KU are Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and the other is Florida State.
Even though Goffi is already thinking about the NCAA Tournament, he said the Big Eight Tournament, May 17-18 would be just as important.
"I've played three times in the NCAA championships and played pretty good all three times," he said. "I 'painted consistent and I thought I did good when most people considered him wild." As for Corpus Christi, it's been on the top 10 for the last 15 years."

Goffi said one main reason he came to KU was that KU promised him three semesters of scholarship even though he would compete for only two semesters. He said that the third semester he would be Howard's assistant coach and that the scholarship would enable him to complete school.
"We have a great chance at the Big Eight because only two teams can rival us," he said. "If we'd reached our full potential we'd be sure to win, but we haven't. But I think we'll win. In fact, I'm pretty sure we'll win it."
"When I first came to the States, I came primarily for school," he said. "I played some tournaments around the country and attended a few national championships coached by one of the greatest players of all time, Pancho Segura. After that, I played tournaments for six months and then I left."
KANSAS CITY (AP)—The Kansas City Royals made a move yesterday to beef up their pitch hitting. They sent third baseman Paul Schaal to the California Angels in exchange for former Royal Richie Sceibinlum.

Goffi was one of the best recruits Howard could get. He had played on winning teams all three previous years and had the experience to lead a young team.
Scheibenbim, a switch-hitting outfielder, batted 32 for the Angels in 77 games last season but was off to his usual slow start this year with a .154 average.

Sebelium played for Kansas City in 1972, when he battled .300 in 14 games. He was named the league MVP.
Schaal underwent surgery for an ankle problem during the winter.
"I just don't understand things. Well, at least "I" moust be back home. That's my fault."
"I really don't know what to think. I had the flu and was some ball games, so we got about 40 at bats," he said. "They hit all the bases." And there is nothing wrong with my ankle.
Schaal, who was the Angels' regular third baseman in 1965 and 1966, was acquired by the Royals in the 1968 American League expansion draft.
Schaal said yesterday he was puzzled about the trade.

He has batted 176 so far this season, compared with a 238 in 1973.
But Goffi will have better competition to practice against every day in Carlos Kirmayr, the current Brazilian national champion, Kirmayr is a professional and considered one of the better players in the world.

Kurmayat is staying with Goffi until after the NCAA meet in June and then will travel to Greece.
"I'll be staying till June and following the "NCAA's, I'll be going to play Wimbledon in London and then play tournaments in New York." But "But I back in the fall to graduate."
