Outlook Brighter for Lutz After KU Relays
By GERALD EWING
Kaman Sneria Editar
Everyone has a bad semester now and then, but for Mark Latz this semester he was nauseable. At least he considered it maybe before last week's Kansas Relays.
But his performances last Friday and Saturday have changed his mind. He said yesterday that he had his best performances ever in winning the 220-yard dash with a time of 20.3, running a leg on the winning 440-yard relay team and finishing second in the 100-yard dress with a time of 9.5.
Lutz' previous distaste for this semester stemmed not from his running but from his involvement in a drug arrest. Lutz was then arrested on suspicion of possession of ambretamines and hushish.
HE WAS SUSPENDED from the team by Coach Bob Timmons but was reinstalled after the charges were dropped in early March.
"It's all in the past new," Lutz said. "It was nothing but bad, not it bitter at anybody to about the whole thing. I was kind of a victim of circumstances."
Lutz's suspension kept him out of most of the indoor season, including the Big Eight.

for the second time in the past three years, the KU Soccer Club maintained second in all major league competitions.
The Wildcats struck for three goals in the first 20 minutes of the game before KU rallied on a goal by Juan Damaso, who scored in the third minute and 10 minutes before the end of the first half.
In its preliminary group, which comprised Colorado, Iowa State and Oklahoma State, KU finished in first place with a record of 2-0-1.
KU continued to control play early in the second half and effectively cut off the K-State offense, including goalee, Steffen Van Kelpel, and Pat Cassidy, who was named the tournament's most valuable defensive player. K-State, in the last 20 minutes to clinch the title
Kandi and Colorado played to a 2-2 tie in the opening game SAT morning, Damiano Cavani scored the winning goal.
After winning its preliminary group, KU advanced to the tournament final against Kansas State University in Stillwater, OKa. on Sunday afternoon. However, a much smaller K-State team had little trouble in capturing the with a 5-1 victory over the 'Hawks.
On Saturday afternoon, KU defeated Iowa and won all six games each by Dominate gird. Fidel Santos III.
Ferdin Balz scored two goals to head KU past the tournament's host, Oklahoma.
HIS BEST PERFORMANCE indoors came at the United States Track and Field Federation Meet in January at Oklahoma City. There, he ran the 300-yard run in 30.3, just one-tenth of a second off the world record.
Due to a lack of funds, KU was able to take a squad of only 13 players to Stillwater, which meant that it had to play four games in two days with only two substitutes.
"I was in super shape and I'd been running well," he said. "But I'm not too big on indoor running anyway. The 60 is too short for 300, which is my race, isn't run very much."
KU finished the season with a 10-4-1 record.

Lutz said the arrest and the suspension made him more determined to have the best deal.
The Red Sox jumped on Nelson Brikes for two runs in the first inning and were in front the rest of the way to post their fourth victory in a row.
"When it first happened, I thought I wouldn't run for KU," latin said. "I didn't know what I was going to do. I almost quit the team and went back to college. I could have a summer outdoor season."
Assistant Coach Thad Talley, Lutz said, was responsible for keeping him interested in her work.
"IT WAS REALLY hard to get motivated to go out to practice," he said. "But Coach Talley kept me working every day and helped me a lot."
One thing that still bothers him is that some people consider him guilty even though he's not a convicted felon.

his performances on Saturday were even more impressive, especially the 220. He won eighth in the second round and second off the world record. In winning the 220, he beat some of the best sprinters in the world, including Crockett and Purdue's Jon Gattis, a member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic team.

Lutz said he had planned all year to peak at the Relys and again at the NCAA and Amateur Athletic Union meet in June. He finished second in the MAU last year would and the man to beat in both meets would be Stew Williams of San Diego State
"There was no difference at all in the times but there was no time on the picture," he said. "The 9.5 was what the watches said and they had to use that."
Lutz said the only way he could combat the bad image he had acquired was to show that he was a world class spinner. And he did just that last weekend.
In the Open 100 on Friday, Lutz finished second to Ivory Crockett who was ranked 2. in the world among sprinters last year. He also surpassed Lutz closer than his time of 9.5 indicates.
HE SAID THE HE FINISH camera was it working properly and that Crockett built it.
Williams was ranked No. 1 in the world in the 100 and 220 last year. Williams and Latz were both on the AAU team that toured Europe last summer.
"I raced the best (people) in the world last year," he said. "I ended up fourth in the world for a decade."
"I'm really pretty new at running the 100.
I didn't start running it until my junior student."
and I'm still a little inconsistent on my starts."

Kivisto Ponders Pros But Wants Med School
Normally an opportunity to play professional basketball wouldn't complicate the life of a graduating big-Eight guard.
Kim Vivato received that opportunity last week when he was named the eighth-round draft choice of the American Basketball Association's Carolina Cougars.
Kivisto said Friday, that he had no direct contact with the Cougars yet but expected some form of contact, probably a letter, within the next week or so.
Kivisto's plans for the future were complicated by the choice between professional basketball and continuing in football. The head coach's list of priorities for a long time, he said.
Basketball has always been regarded as a means to an end, according to Kivisto. He was named to the Big Eight's all-academic team and also received one of the fifteen NCAA post-graduate scholarships that are awarded to basketball players.
"Basketball has always been a secondary goal for me," he said. "I have always had
Kivisto's $1,000 NCAA post-graduate scholarship must be used next fall or he will forfeit the honor to an alternate an NCAA official said.
Kivisto said an announcement by medical schools of which students would be admitted in the fall would help him out a lot. Kivisto and his wife, Anastasia, lived in his home state of Illinois and also in KiU.
It would be hard to predict what he will be doing next day, Kivisto said.
"If the offer (from Carolina) is good,
then I'd consider postponing medical
surgery."
Kivisto said that if he did accept an offer from the Cougars his primary goal would remain getting into medical school. In that case, he'd play a more basketball for a short time only.
"If it was enough (money) then I'd play a yes or two and then try to get into it."
Kivisto said that his decision would be guided by whatever means are necessary to reach his goal.
"If I can take another course or two and maybe change my residency to help get into med school, then I may come back," Kivisto said.
Kiviste that it really didn't make my difference to him which team had chosen him.
"I have always thought about pro-basketball in general terms and never with any specific team in mind," he said. "From Carolina's point of view I in happy with Carolina."
