KU's men's track team still No.1,but No.2 trying harder
By PAUL D. BOWKER Sports Writer
Kansas has long been the best track team in the Big Eight. That is still true this season, most conference coaches agree, but some of the other teams have also been KU for the conference's indoor championship.
Iowa State is frequently mentioned as the team most able to challenge the Jayhawks, defending indoor and outdoor champions, for the Big Eight title Friday and Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. But Cyclone Coach Bill Bergen sees things differently.
"DON'T THINK they're as far out in front as the last couple of years, maybe," Bergen said, referring to the Jayhawks. "But I think they'll be the choice of all the coaches.
"The Big Eight's getting a lot tougher nationally. Blink from top to bottom it's the worst possible thing."
conference. I think the Big Eight has quite a few people who can place nationally."
Mike Ross, Kennes State coach, also said the Jayhawks would walk away with the top honors.
"KU has always been my favorite to win." Ross said, "and I'd say that this year."
Arizona Coach Frank Sevigne said, "I think the league has gone up as far as balance is concerned, and one team in particular, Iowa State. The league has balanced out the past year or two. I don't know whether I'd say Kansas is weaker or not."
MANY COACHES probably select the Jayhawks out of habit. KU has more indoor and outdoor championships than any other Big Eight team.
finished fourth in the NCAA indoor championships and eight outdoors.
The Jayhawks have won 22 of 52 indoor conference meets, Nebraska is second with 14. Besides winning last year's indoor and outdoor conference championships, the Jayhawks
KU Coach Bob Timmons, who has led the Jayhawks to 10 Big Eight indoor championships since 1986, refused to predict a winner of this game. He was optimistic about the Jayhawks' chances.
"We've got good balance," Timmons said. "I'm going to be strong through the spring race."
Timmons said Kansas State and Iowa State were teams that posed an immediate threat to them.
KU, WHICH BEAT K-STATE 73-57 in a dual
state. The state has not met Iowa
State in a print season.
Iowa State, which finished third in last year's indoor conference championships and tied for 17th in the nationals, might be ready to challenge KU.
The Cyclones finished 10th in the NCAA cross
country championships in the fall and have one of the best shot putters in the Big Eight, John
Scheetz, who won the shot put in both the indoor and outdoor conference championships last year, has the best mark of the indoor season, 63-11½.
"Iowa State ... they're for real." K-State's Iowa said, saying they in Missouri, and the rest of the nation.
"THEY SCARE ME. A very good track team could end up in fourth place. In the last four or five years, it (the conference) has really made improvement.
"It's really something. When (Vince) Parette first came into the conference in '77, he won the triple jump with a 49-foot jump. But now. I don't know if that would get him into the final."
JAYHAWK NOTES: The Jayhawks, who finished the regular part of the indoor season
with two dual victories, a first-place finish in a triangular and a last-place finish in a quadrangular, did not have a meet last weekend. Instead, the Jayahawks had heavy workouts all week and will have light ones this week in preparation for the Big Eight championships.
KERWIN BELL, KU freshman running back, finished second in a special race at the Los Angeles Invitational. The race, limited to football players, included Curtis Dickey of the Baltimore Colts. Georgia freshman Herschel Walker of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, previous meets, did not enter, Kevin Williams, a wide receiver at Southern California won the race.
Iowa State shot putter John Scheetz said he discovered track because of a shortage of money, "I wanted to be a rock musician," he said, "but money and athletics got in the way."
Winter warmth gives KU baseball team head start
By ARNE GREEN
By ARNE GREE Sports Writer
Almost everyone is enjoying the unseasonably warm weather in Lawrence this winter, but none could be more pleased with it than KU's baseball players.
For the baseball team, long accustomed to practicing indoors during the winter, the opportunity to move outdoors in January and February has been invaluable. Each day out on the field brings the team closer to regular-season form, and Coach Floyd Temple knows it.
ALMOST EVERY DAY THE Jayhawks have scrimmaged, and as a result, they are well ahead of schedule for their season opener at Emporia State, March 11.
"Yeah, we're a lot latter along than last year," Temple said again. "We've got last
some things accomplished. The main thing with intraquads games is to get the pitchers ready and the hitters ready. We have to be able to work as a team."
The Jayhawks had the opportunity to work as a nine-in-
ning practice game against Baker University.
KANSA SHOWED GOOD power in the game, beating Baker's pitchers for eight extra-base hits, four of them home runs, in coasting to a 13-5 victory.
Junior shortstop Jeff Neuzil opened the fireworks for Kansas with a lead-off homer in the first inning, and leftfielder Tim Heinemann had a home run as fielder John Fith as the Jayhawks jumped out to a 7-10 lead.
Rightfielder Joe Heeney and pitcher Kevin Clinton added solo shots for KU.
Temple said he was not disappointed with the
team's performance, but that he saw room for improvement.
"Our hitting was adequate, but we need to improve," he said. "We are well aware that we are going to face better pitching. You can't really tell in one afternoon."
The brightest spot for the Jayhawks was the pitching by Clinton, who tossed six scoreless innings, scattering three hits. He also struck out nine and issued two walks.
"Clinton had a good day," Temple said. "He
was on shaky inning, but otherwise he looks
very serious."
Temple said he would not schedule any more practice games before the season opener, but that he would continue with intrasquad games when the weather permitted.
"WE'VE BEEN ABLE to find some things out that we needed to know already, so every day we went out and looked in the mirror.
He also said that the extra practice was necessary for the team's weeklong trip to Texas during spring break.
Meanwhile, the Jayhawks are hoping the weather stays warm for another two weeks so they can keep their competitive edge until the season starts.
"That's pretty important because we're playing a little tougher competition down there this year," he said.
The Jayhawks will play Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Pan American and Dallas on their southern swing.
