SPORTS The University Daily KANSAN March 2, 1984 Page 14 March 2,1984 Page 14 Big 8 swimming championships Huskers take lead on 1st day By GREG DAMMAN Sports Writer The Nebraska Cornhuskers used team balance yesterday to take the first-day lead at the Big Eight Conference Men's Swimming Championships in Robinson Natatorium. The Kansas Hawks finished the day in fourth place. The Cornhuskers had 146.5 points, followed by Iowa State with 114, Missouri with 103, Kansas with 85 and Oklahoma with 38.5. Nebraska placed first in only two of five events, but the Cornhuskers managed to bring home second place in the other three events. "Nebraska did not swim all that well today," Kansas coach Gary Kempf said. "But they fought well and their depth carried them right through. The first day is notoriously not our best day." NEBRASKA 18 shooting for its fifth consecutive Big Eight Championship. Kansas finished second last year, by Iowa state. Missouri and Oklahoma. For the Jayhawks, Chris McCool and Brad Coens finished fourth and fifth respectively in the 200-yard individual medley. Brad Wells placed fifth in the 500-yard freestyle, an event he placed first in at last year's meet, and Jim Ammons placed seventh in the 50-yard freestyle. Ammons did not qualify for the finals in the 50 freestyle, but placed first in the consolation heat in 21.10 seconds, which was the second fastest time overall. It was also the fastest time in his career. "I think Jim Ammons did a real fine job," Kempf said. "I'm not overly excited at how we swam there, but I am very happy with the experience, see the effort, in what they're doing." 1N-METER DIVING, Mike Pangle finished sixth with 395.80 points and Mark Murphy placed seventh with 382.10 points. The Kansas 800-yard freestyle relay team of Jay Engel, Doug Hiemstra, Wells and Ammons placed fourth with a time of 6 minutes, 48.72 seconds. Nebraska placed first in the 800 freestyle relay with a time of 6:43.41 "I know we're capable of doing much better than we've done," Kemp said. "We've got 19 people here and we need point production out of every one." Kempf said that the Jayhawks best day would be tomorrow and that his team had a long way to go to catch Nebraska. "We're OK. With Iowa state and a nice little battle, Kemp said. Kempf said that he had heard complaints from some people that the slow times were caused by the pool. However, he pointed out that a conference record was set in the 50 freestyle. IOWA STATE'S SCC McAdam set a meet record in the event with a time of 20.29 seconds. The old record was 20.69, by Cliff LOUSSON of Nebraska. Dave Symons, of Iowa St., placed first in the 500 freestyle in 4:27.78. Missouri's Matt Frentos placed first in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:52.46, and Nebraska's Rick Gilbertson was second in 1:54.85. Nebraska placed first and second in 1-meter diving, led by Eric Gnobencbite's 457.35 points and Reynaldo Castro's 457.45 scores are NCAA qualifying scores. Today's events include the 100-yard butterfly, 200-yard freestyle, 100-yard breaststroke, 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard medley, 100-yard medley relay and 3-meter diving. "The meet at this time has not been that fast," Kempi said. "I'd say the key to the meet right now is whether we can bounce back after a setback. I'm not worried about anyone else. I'm concerned with our own ability level. We're swimming scared." TODAY'S EVENTS begin with the preliminaries at noon, followed by the finals at 7:30 p.m. Diving events will be held about an hour after the end of the finals. Tomorrow's schedule is the same. Tickets for the meet are available at the door. Student individual-session tickets are $1, and student all-session tickets are $3. Robert B.

KU baseball team starts season today at Quigley Field By the Kansan Staff The season opener for the Kansas Jayhawk baseball team, originally scheduled for tomorrow at Missouri Southern, will be played today at 12:30 p.m. at Quigley Field, adjacent to Allen Field House. The double-header was moved to KU because of the blizzard that covered the area. Marty Pattin, KU head coach, will have a team sporting eight seniors, including five on what is expected to be a much-improved pitching staff. Senior Dennis Coplen and junior college transfer Charles Buzard are the probable starters for tomorrow's games. Drew Hausman, Kevin Kroeker, Duke Lohr and Chris Ackley are the other senior pitchers. Other probable starters on the infield will be Phil Doherty at first, Dan Christie at third and Rob Thompson at catcher. Seniors Joe Heeney will play shortstop for the Jayhawks while Nick Zych, center, will start. Bill Yellon is the only senior in the outfield. Freshman John Hart is also a probable starter. Todd Schweigert, Hugh Stanton field, Steve Meyer, Mike Ingram and Joel Gibson will also see time in the outfield. United Press International HOUSTON — Kansas City's Reggie Theus drives to the basket while the Rockets' Ralph Sampson reaches in. Sampson scored 28 points, but the Kings, led by Eddie Johnson's 27 points, beat Houston last night 108-101. Committee undecided about Kuhn's successor By United Press International WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — It's not done vet. Using that precise statement, Milwaukee Brewers' owner Bud Selig, head of the search committee for baseball's new commissioner, quelled reports that Peter V. Ueberroth will be named to replace Bowie Kuhn during a meeting in Tampa, Fla., tomorrow. Speaking from Milwaukee yesterday, Selig said the reports are based on incomplete information and leaks by owners who are not even part of the committee. In all likelihood, Ueberroth, the 46-year-old head of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, will be named as the new commissioner tomorrow, but Selig cautioned that no final decision had been made and other candidates were still receiving consideration. UPI has learned that the search committee, looking for a new commissioner since Kuhn failed to win re-election for a third term on Nov. 1, 1982, was enormously impressed with his performance of the lately candidates named as a possible successor to Kuhn. Davis, a 62-year-old lawyer and mortgage banker, has headed the Tidewater Tides of the International League for 21 years. "FOR THE LIFE OF me, I can't see how this newspaperman and that newspaperman are naming anyone for commissioner when we haven't done that ourselves." Selig said. "I cannot emphasize enough that it is not done by me, and when we do, I assure you we will not hold anything back. We will let the whole world know." According to published reports, Sandy Hadden, Kuhn's counsel and chief aide since 1970, is expected to fill in as interim commissioner until Uberroth would be ready to take over for Kuhn following the completion of the Summer Olympics Aug. 12. Even Hadden's status as interim commissioner has not been settled, though, said Selig. Selig said much of the recent speculation surrounding Kuhn's successor was "wrong, wrong, wrong. Their stories have so many inaccuracies it staggers my mind." SELIG WOULD NOT confirm that any decision would be reached tomorrow, nor would he even pinpoint the site where baseball's 26 owners would meet. 'Hawks finish Big 8 season against OSU KU pays tribute to Dean Nesmith for dedication By the Kansan Staff The Kansas Jayhawks, 8-5 in the Big Eight Conference after Wednesday's loss to Colorado, play Oklahoma State tomorrow in Allen Field House. The game will not affect the second-place Jayhawks in the standings, but a victory will help KU in its bid for an NCAA tournament berth. The game will be regionally televised and will begin at 4:10 p.m. Tomorrow's game will honor retiring KU trainer Dean Nesmith. Nesmith has been a prominent figure in the Kansas lost to Oklahoma State in the first meeting between the two teams, 71-61 Calvin Thompson led the Jayhawks to a win over the Grizzlies. He led KU in rebounding with 10. THOMPSON BROKE the KU consecutive free-throw record at Colorado. He made all three of his free throw attempts against CU to run his string to 29 David Magley set the old record of 27 in 1982. Oklahoma State is led by forwards Joe Attkinson and Raymond Crenshaw. Atkinson is averaging 17.8 points and 7.7 rebounds a game. He had 24 points in the game this year. Crenshaw is averaging 17.5 points and seven rebounds a game. Starting at the guard positions for OSU will be 6-foot-3 Bill Self and 6-3 Mitch Jones. Charles Williams, a 6-6 junior, will start at center. Kansas has a 21-7 record against the Cowboys in Allen Field House, but OSU has won the last five games between the two schools. AVERAGE ATTENDANCE at Allen Field House this year is 11,855, almost 2.500 more than last year's average of 11,400, and tomorrow afternoon's game is 13,000. The Kansas women's basketball team, 11-14 overall, can wrap up a home-court berth in the Big Eight Post-Season Tournament with a victory over Oklahoma State tomorrow. The games begin at 1 pm. in Allen Field House. The Jayhawks and Cowgirls are tied with Oklahoma for third place in the conference with 7-6 records each. Nebraska is one game behind with a 7 record. The top four conference teams play their opening-round games in the post-season tournament at home. IF THE JAYHAWKS lose, Nebraska would have to defeat Oklahoma on Saturday to keep alive KU's chances of gaining a home-court berth. Kansas helped its chances greatly with a 91-71 victory over Colorado at Boulder Wednesday night. Angie Snider led the Jayhawks in scoring with 35 points, tying her highest total this season. Kansas defeated Oklahoma State 72-51 in Stillwater earlier this season. SPORTS ALMANAC BASKETBALL KU Rec Results Mew Ind.
