Crew team wins in Topeka
The KU crew team won eight events Saturday at the President's Regatta in Topeka to take first place in the overall competition.

The weekend was a long one at Quigley Field for head baseball coach Marty Pattin and the rest of the Kansas Jayhawks.

Nebraska continued its torrid pace yester day and defeated Kansas 16-6 and 11-9.
Most of the blame can be put on the Kansas pitching staff, which walked 32 batters and gave up 32 earned runs. The pitchers also had 10 base-hits, including 2 grand slam home runs.
"They act like they're afraid to throw strikes," Pattin said yesterday. "If we got a little better pitching, we've got a chance to win a few games."
Saturday's first game was one of two chances Kansas had to pull out a victory. The Jayhawk starter, Buzard, had given the team its third win since 2013. KJ stayed close, scoring a run in the far
In the first inning, starting KU pitcher Scott LaRue, who was making his first start since suffering shoulder problems, walked the first two batters he faced. The third pitcher onusher center fielder Paul Meyers, larded a bunt single, which loaded the bases.
THE KILLING BLOW for Buzard and Kansas came in the seventh inning from Mike Duncan. Nebraska first baseman. He homer to cap a four-run fourth inning.
The clean-up hitter, Duncan, did exactly what the fourth batter is supposed to do. He cleaned the bases with a grand slam home run to give Nebraska a 40 lead.
The other opportunity for a victory came in yesterday's second game.
THE CORNHUSKERS CONTINUED to score runs and added seven more in the next two innings for an 11-2 lead after three innings. But KU mounted a comeback in the

Despite quarterback Mike Orth's impressive performance Friday night in KU's annual spring football game at Arrowhead Stadium, head coach Mike Gottfried still plans to red-shirt the junior next year.
"That's a decision between him and me."
"Gottritt said yesterday 'He and I will"
"be together.'"
"I know what I'd like to do, but we'll just have to wait and see."
Gottfried has said throughout the spring that he planned to hold Out out next fall. Mike Norseh will return for his senior season and several highly-touched high school
quarterbacks have signed with KU for next year.
ORTH LED THE Blue team to a 15-to-come-from-behind victory over the White team Friday night. The Whites, with quarterback Mike Norseth and linebacker Jason, were 80-point favorites going into the game, as determined by the KU coaches.
"Both teams were fairly equal, but the Blues were maybe the underdogs." Gottried said. "I felt like it would take a performance like that out of him (Orth) for them to win."
Orth completed 13 of 22 passes for 223 yards and one touchdown, a 47 yarder to Skip Peeet. Norsest threw for 123 yards on 12 of 22 passes.
The White squad held a 10-3 lead at
halftime. A 95-yard interception return of an Orth pass by Tony Berry highlighted the first-half scoring.
The Whites had a chance to win after driving for a first down at the Blue 11-yard line late in the game. But Norseth threw four incomplete passes in the final minute
THE BLUE TEAM also was led by tailback Lynn Williams, the leading ball-carrier in the game with 167 yards on 18 carries. Williams had missed most of KU's spring practices because of an ankle injury.
"He had fresh legs because he hadn't practiced all spring," Gottfried said. "He's better at running."
With spring drills over, the players are on
the rest of the semester.

Brad Hamm strode onto the stage, the muscles in his thighs bulging with each step. The yellow beam highlighted his well-defined ankle, dropped onto the platform to accept his trophy.
Hamm won the men's overall competition Saturday at the Lawrence Opera House in the first annual Mr. and Miss Lawrence Bodybuilding Competition Sandra Eidgenbart of Lawrence captured the women's overall trophy.

THE PRE-JUDGING BEGAN Saturday morning. A panel of five judges evaluated 19 contestants on muscularity, symmetry, compulsory posing, and a routine set to music. Six of the contestants were women and 13 were men.

"I have been eating rice and tuna for the
month," Hamm said. "But tonight it's
bread and ice."
Langer takes Masters title; Strange loses on back nine
By United Press International
Whichever it was, another chapter of lore was written and orchestrated by the serene but lethal final nine holes at the Augusta National Golf Club.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Bernhard Langer won the Masters yesterday, or, perhaps, Curtis Strange lost it.
Langer, the West German with the matinee idol looks and the always questionable putter, found himself the winner of one of the most prized titles in golf — sweeping past the stunned Strange to win his first major championship.
The story already appeared to have been
written halfway through the round Sunday, since Strange was four shots in front en route to what seemed to be an amazing comeback victory.
Augusta National's back nine, however,
has re-written potential history before, and it did
not.
"I JUST TRIED not to get excited and to play the best I could and see what happened," said Langer, who had captured 16 international titles but had never won in the United States before yesterday.
"If you play the best you can and somebody else plays better, then that is all right."
Nobody else could play better, although Strange did for a while.
Women have tough time; finish 11th at Champaign
The women's golf team continued to have trouble finding the winning edge as the Jayhawks placed 11th out of 16 teams in the Iliami Classic Friday and Saturday.
"We're still not doing what we need to do," KU head coach Kent Keiser said yesterday. "Every time we play is going help and this was a good tournament for us to go to, but I can't say that I'm really happy about it.
The team still isn't playing in tournaments as it does in practice, Weiser said. He will change his practices this week in an effort to find the best five golfers to take to the Big Eight Championship beginning next week in Manhattan, he said.
IN THE ILINI Classic, Michigan State placed first, Illinois, the host school of the tournament in Champaign, Ill., was second. Missouri placed third.
Junior Brenda Sanders was KU's top individual golfer. She shot rounds of 80 in four years.
The Illini Classic was the first tour nament for Sanders, a co-captain of the team, this spring.
Sanders had been having a difficult spring partly because of a tendon problem.
Freshman Tina Gniewack shot three rounds of 87 for a total of 261. Senior Jane Hellebler shot rounds of 87, 87 and 93 for a total of 267.
