KU Netters Eve Crown
By HAL WHALEN
Kansan Sports Writer
The Kansas tennis Jayhawks will meet Northwest Missouri in dual competition Monday at Maryville, Mo. The Jayhawks will record after dropping Emporia State, 9-0, Tuesday at Emporia.
The KU team continues to pick up momentum in the win category and Kansas coach Bob Lockwood is optimistic about his season. A Conference meet scheduled this week for May 21-22 at Stillwater.
"We've beaten Kansas State twice and they were favored number two," Lackock said. "We have a good shot for second, but we are looking at it that time." We try to upset Oklahoma.
Lockwood had by saying that the thing that had really changed was that the team leadership the team had received from number one man Jim Lampley.
"He is a great tennis player," said Lockwood. "He has come under fire, but he is respected." Todd Ballinger, was at one time ranked seventh in the nation and Jim has always kind of lived in the country. He played tennis than he has ever played in his life right now. When he is on, there is no in the big Eight.
Lockwood stressed that their poor dual meet record was not an accurate indicator as to how the team will perform in the conference meet. Their dual meet schedule was planned to provide the KU team with practice for the KU squad rather than to stack up a lot of wins.
As Lockwood said, "You don't get better by playing weak schools."

The sign brought an end to the weeks of deliberation between Brown, the Lakers and the Clippers. The Association's Texas-Chaparral who also drafted the KU product. Terms of the contract (other than it was for three years) were not written by a Los Angeles club rule.
"they offered me a very good contract," Brown said in explaining his choice of the Lakers over the Chaparral. "And

Sheats Added To KU Casualty List
By DON BAKER Kansan Sports Editor
Eddie Sheila has become the fourth KU casualty of Wednesday's action by the NCAA concerning junior college transgressions. He completed two full years at their respective junior college and who did not maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average in intelligent reading.
Thursday the Kansan reported that Mitch Sutton, Terry Adams and Mike Gardner were victims of the action. It was not learned that Sheaats was in the same boat until Thursday after Gardner was defeated defensive end, came to KU from Huhainsin Junior College.
THE ACTION IS NOT expected to affect any other transfers but it makes little difference because, for the most part, KU is right back where it started from here and has recruited specifically to bolster KU's weak defense of last fall and now all are lost. Sheats was running first string defensive end and the general attacker was being a beater before the Seventh 11 opener with Washington State.
Of the transfers who escaped the penalty, only Joe Shannon appears likely to help KU much next week. A 6-2 and 210-point defensive end from independence Juo, Shannon has been playing his spring and is now definitely in line for a lot of playing time.
Nearly 70 schools west of the Mississippi have felt the ruling's sting that resulted in confusion and misinterpretation of the minimum grade requirements. KU coach Dam Fambrough, just two days away from the annual spring football game, admitted that the rule was not correct.
"WE KNEW A CUPULE OF MEMORIES or so they were going to have a meeting," he said. "But I was shocked that they did what I expected."
one Big Eight and Western Athletic conferences appealed the action on the basis the rule was confusing and that the mistake was made nearly nation-wide rather than just a few schools. To no surprise, the appeal was in vain.
"It came at a time when we felt we needed juco help for the next couple of years so we could get our program built up,"
"I DON'T THINK we can make anymore changes," he said.
"We're going to go with what we've got.
succeedly
"We're thin," he said softly. "And that's putting the word
Just what kind of shape is KU left in? Fambrough put it succinctly.
"But," he emphasized, "this football team will be all right. They're going to have to work hard and not get hurt."
The last part of that sentence will be critical to KU's success come fall. Man for man on the first offensive and defensive units the Jayhawks are strong. But a key injury here and there will be critical.
Fambrough said the game takes on no different light and that it is just part of the routine. It has been the objective this spring to change KU's routine in regard to winning and, losing football. Two days ago that looked more realistic than it does today.
NONE OF THE FOUR will lose their scholarships, certainly encouragement for them to stay in school and be ready to go
"We're not crying about the rule," Fambrough said. "I'm more concerned about the four individuals involved and what they are doing."
Will the Jayhaws now be realigned defensively? Fambrough
save no.
But that is a year away and now the present is of major interest. And the present means getting ready for Saturday's spring break.
But Bambrough is still confident and he has the confidence of his players and this hopefully will go a long way to making up for his mistakes.

Last Week Lies Ahead For KU Baseball Team
BY RICK SABBERT

The New York Mets suddenly are starting to show their 1968 form again. They blanked the cardinals to complete a four-hit Gill Hodges' two-platooning system, which was criticized last year when the Mets came in third. The Dodgers hit Clendon hit a three-run homer. Clendon was replacing KRen井藤, who had three hits in his last game. Wendell Donovan, but the move worked as Clendon got two hits.

The Kansas Jayhawks, currently to waive and -5-10 in their prospect list, finished final week of regular season basketball action after a difficult season.

I've said all year," said the KU mentor, "we can win. Our comeback victory over Colorado indicates we can do it."
The Cyclones have a well-balanced team with their whole 1970 mound staff returning. They are led by catcher-first baseman Larry Corrigan who hit .353 last season and is currently hitting at a 6-4.
Other criteria included strength of character, leadership both on and off the field, and scholarship.

Temple has called on Bill Stegemeier (3-4) to start today's single contest. Steve Corder (2-4) gets the call in the first game Saturday and either Corky Ulton take a shot or John Tolman takes the move in the nightcap.
"We had four or five non- scholarship boys playing and we didn't ask. We did as good of job as we could. I was never disappointed in the team."
Reflecting back on the season, Temple said they were naturally disappointed in their perseverance. Keith Liepman and Dave Robisch had hurt and Bob Cox not being able to pitch because of a season long sore arm had placed him on the Jayhawk pitching staff.
Her's starting line-up is: iS. Wolf, 2b; Jerry Hanson, 2b; Woff, 2b; Bob Hanson, 2b; Womble, 1b; Jerry Evans, iff; BJ Temple, Ulium, rf; and AH Temple, Ulium, rf.
The Jayhawk boss said going south so early for a road series was tough without much pracice. He said he'd runnng into the burst of bleaks.
"I'm just sorry we couldn't play a little better. Our student reception was good considering I don't play very well at times."
After the Iowa State series the Jayhawks return home to Minnesota and play double game inside in a single contest Tuesday at 3 p.m. against rival Kansas State. KU took a doubleheader in the Manhattan earlier in the season.
