SPORTS University Daily Kansan, April 13, 1984 The University Daily KANSAN - Page 16 Rose hopes to end week with big hit Charlie Hustle wants No.4,000 to come today By United Press International MONTREAL — Pete Rose busted toward Friday the 13th with a growing sense of the dramatic. So far, everything is going the veteran's way. Rose, for 21 seasons baseball's answer to instant energy, got married this week in Cincinnati, celebrates his 43rd birthday Saturday and goes after his 4,000th hit this afternoon in the Montreal Expos' home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Olympic Stadium. Today is the 21st anniversary of Rose's first major league hit off the Pittsburgh Pirates' Bob Friend at Cincinnati's Crosley Field. Rose will also be seeking his 3,000th single when he takes the field against the Philiies, who will start veteran Jerry Koosman. Charlie Lea is the scheduled starter for Montreal. ALWAYS THE MOTIVATOR, Rose said the home opener against his ex-tematemates from Philadelphia. He had been tough, but it was still early in the season. Johnson leads KC past Spurs By United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eddie Johnson scored 16 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter to keep the flickering play-off hopes of the Kansas City Kings alive with a 114-102 victory last night over the San Antonio Spurs. Mark Olberding added 16 points, Mike Woodward 14 and center LaSalle Thompson 14 and points 17 rebounds to improve Kansas City's city record to 37-44 in the Golden State for the eighth and final play-off spot in the Western Division. The Kings snapped a three-game losing streak in the process and also claimed the season series with the Spurs, five games to one. Kansas City got seven points apiece from Oberding and Thompson and also capitalized on 29 percent shooting by open up a 33-21 first quarter lead. Washington signs two all-staters for women's team By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer Kansas women's basketball head coach Marian Washington has signed a second Kansas all-state player to a letter of intent, and as many as four more players may sign with the Jayhawks in the next two weeks. Kelly Jennings, a 6-foot-5 center from Topaka High, signed a letter of intent Wednesday. She averaged 17.6 points per game for a team that went 17-4 this season. "She's got a lot of work to do." Washington is the city she really just doesn't enjoy. forward and all-state player from Leavenworth, signed with KU in November. She averaged 23 points a game for the Foneers this year. "There is no doubt that Kelly and Lisa will bring things to the program that we need," Washington said. "Both will contribute right away. Whether they will play or not, they will play are up to them and how they prepared they are when they come in." Washington said that other players who were considering coming to KU included Jackie Martin, a 5-11 forward from Dublin, Ga.; Sandy Shaw, a 6-14 guard at Topopea High; Deanne Kreis, a guard from Barton County Community College and Claire Masinton, a 5-9 guard from Lawrence High. Some announcement on each of those players would probably be made within the league. MASINTOON, WHO HAS A .3.95 grade point average, said that KU was her first choice for basketball, but that she was considering going to Princeton or Yale because of their academic reputation; they have relatives on the East Coast She was the point guard on the Lawrence High team that went undefeated this season and won the Class 6A championship, and managed 15.8 points and five assists a game. Washington, who was left without a center when 6-6 senior Philiace Allen was declared academically ineligible and redshirted this season, had said that after the season one of her priorities was to recruit a center in the 6-4 or 6-5 range, which she got with the signing of Jennings. "Right now, I feel like we have a good group of kids returning from this year, along with some good recruits," Washington said. "If Phililia would be able spend her last year here playing for it we would be great for her and the team. It would be iceing on the cake for us." WITH ALLEN'S possible return and the signing of demings, Washington said that All Big Eight selection Vickie Adkins, who played center this year, would probably be facing the basket a lot more next season. "Vickie loves to shoot from the outside, she said. "We were more or less forced to put her inside this year because of the virus." Washington, who lost only two seminars this year, will possibly have 11 players returning from this year's team, including guards Evette Otte and Sheri Stoecker. Both missed practically the entire season this year with injuries, and each team's recruits to the returnees, and KU looks to have a lot of depth for next season. "We won't get caught short-handed like we did this year." Washington said. "We're accumulating the kinds of players who are team-orientated, which makes it easier on me as a coach. We'll have a lot more maturity next year." AUGUSTA, Ga. — A missed birdie putte on the 18th green of the Master's tournament drew a grimece from Japan's Asoi Aoki. Ben Crenshaw yesterday took a one-stroke lead over Lee Trexina after 18 holes of play. Crenshaw leads by one over Trevino in Masters By United Press International AUGUSTA, Ga. — The 13th time around is starting off as a lucky charm for both Ben Crenshaw and Lee Trevino. Although Crenshaw twice has been runner-up in the Masters, including last year when he tied with Tom Kite for second place, this is only the fourth time in his 13 appearances at Augusta National that he bettered par on opening day. Last year he opened with a 76. Crenshaw, frustrated time and again in his continuing effort to win a major, defied a personal jinx to shoot a bogey-free. 5-under-par 67 yesterday at the PGA tour that lead over Trevino after the opening round of the Masters Championship. "It was probably a nervous applition to want to get this thing going." Crenshaw said of his previous opening day litters. "Very conservatively, I could have shot two to three strokes better. I played a very good round of golf today, and I feel it could have been even more brilliant, on the 10 hole, but I missed some good opportunities to make puts." Like Crenshaw, the 44-year-old Trevino responded to a warm, sunny and wind-free day to register his best-ever competitive round at the 6.905-yard Augusta National Trevino started off with three consecutive birdies and his round of 68 included seven birdies and three bogeys. "I'm very excited about it," Trevino said of his chances to win the Masters, a tournament he refused to play three times because he felt the course wasn't suited to his game. "The first round of the U.S. Open was the most important because it gets you set." Australian David Graham blew an excellent opportunity to share the lead with Crenshaw, but he took a double bogey on the 18th hole when he was distracted by a photographer and hit into the woods, settling for a 69. "I have this job to do, and I can't think of winning yet," Crenswash said. "Every golfer wants to win this game, and I've got a long road ahead of me." Joining Graham at 69 were Tom Purtzer, Masters rookie Mark Lyle and Japan's Isao Aki. Purtzer, suffering from a cold, bogged two of his first five hates, but then collected four birdies from the 12th through 16th. Crenshaw sank a pair of 2-foot birdie putts on the front side, and a superb 7-iron set him up for an 11-foot birdie putt on the 12th. He had good eagle possibilities from 20 and 12 feet on the back, but settled for birds on both. One thing to say for Certain—this boy's big Fred Couples and Andy Bean, winners of the last two tour events, were in a group at 71. Couples leads this year's money list with $247,323 Defending champion Seve Balletos and Jack Nicklaus, holder of a record five Masters crowns, both opened with 78 while Tom Watson, another two time titlist, was unable to sink a single bird in a round of 74. Trevino credited his new wife, along with his second place finish to Couples in the Tournament Players Championship, where he gave his confidence a needed boost. "After what I did on the last three rounds of the TPC course I probably reached back and said there no's said. That did a lot for my evidence." Two old-timmers, Gary Player and Billy Casper, both were at 4-oner on the back nine before running into trouble. Certain, who sat out last season after transferring from Cincinnati, is finally playing for real for the Jayhawks. He spent the fall working on the scout team When you first meet Doug Certain, similarities with the chassis of a John Deere combine quickly come to mind. At 6-feet-4, 275 pounds, his appearance has a certain bluntness as does his conversation. after being a two-year starter for Mike Gottfried at Cincinnati. Sports Editor Player wound up at 71 and Casper at 73. JEFF CRAVENS Certain has been listed as the No. 1 right guard the entire spring. But after sitting out the fall season, the "I'm looking forward to playing again." Certain said. "We're young and it is just going to take some time. After all, we lost some pretty good offensive linemen." kinks have yet to be entirely hammered out. "I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things," he said. "I'm coming along, slowly starting to get used to it." Though he was ineligible this fall, Certain was far from inactive. When he first came to KU, he weighed in at 240 pounds. Without a chance to play on Saturday, Certain hit the weight room. "It helped a lot," he said. "It gave me more time to work out." And anyone can tell. Just one look at Certainty says that he used his time wisely, and his added muscle has made him a better fighter. When you lose more than 1,000 pounds of — excuse the expression — beef off your offensive line, it is not an error. Reggie Smith is with the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits. K.C. Brown went to camp with the Los Angeles Express, but decided he didn't want to play football anymore. Renwick Atkins and Paul Fairchild are still at KU, working out in preparation for the NFL draft. Certainly there were a few players who got some experience backing up the four during the past few seasons. Now the young bucks will get their chance to play. And Certain is the biggest buck. "After the staff left, things were pretty disorganized so I decided to leave," he said. "I enrolled at Kentucky for five weeks, but it wasn't what I was expected to be." He really liked the school and the college atmosphere." Another factor was his closeness to Gottfried and his staff "I really liked the way he turned the program around at Cincinnati." Now that Certain has established himself at KU, he is looking to enhance the offensive line. He will be a fourth-year junior, second in experience only to senior center Bennie Simecka. Although he ended up following Gottfried to Kansas, it didn't start out that way. After departing from the Cincinnati program, Certain was looking for a school where he would feel comfortable. "We've got Bennie and he helps out a lot." Certain said. "We are going to have our ups and downs." However, with the addition of Certain, there should be more ups than downs. If his alarming size and past success at Cincinnati is any indication, foes will be hurtin' from Certain. He has put on 35 pounds of muscle in a matter of months, but Certain says that his quickness is about the same as it was before. The Kansas women's track team will be in action tomorrow at the John Laeos Invitational in Norman, Okla., while the men's team will travel to Wichita for the Wichita State Sports Festival. Both teams competed last week end in the rain-shortened Kansas State Invitational. "So far, we've only had one good meet, the one down in Florida," KU men's coach Bob Timmons said. "We've had three weekends of rain so it's difficult to prepare for a meet in these conditions." FIFTEEN TEAMS are entered in the Wichita State meet, including Kansas State and last year's champion Missouri. Timmons will send 24 men to the meet, eight of whom will compete unattached. Jayhawk entries include Clint Johnson, who placed second in the shot put at the Texas Relays last weekend, in the shot and discus and middle-distance runner David Cole in the 800 meters. KU will have four athletes entered in the pole vault. Jim Metzger, with a personal best of 17 feet 2 inches this year, has the best mark among the Jayhawk entries. High jumper Sharriff Hazim is recovering from a heel injury and will not compete in the meet. The Jayhawk women's team captured a pair of first place finishes last weekend as Stine Lerdahl won her second straight NCAA title. Sam Fuchs and Denise Buchanan placed first in the shot at the K-State meet. BASEBALL SPORTS ALMANAC ASEBALL AMERICAN LEAGUE W 1 W. Pct.
