Jayhawk men defeated in 2 dual matches
Doubles teams show promise in Kentucky loss
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer
Despite losing two duals over the weekend, there was a sign of hope for the KU men's team team in its doubles play Sunday in a 6-3 loss to Kentucky.
After losing all six singles matches, the Jayhawks came back to sweep all three matches in doubles play.
Southern Illinois shut out the Jayhawks 9-0 on Saturday. Both duals were played at SIU.
"It's only going to get better," said KU coach Scott Perelman. "I'm encouraged the way our doubles teams are looking."
Both the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams won in straight sets against Kentucky, while the No. 3 doubles team of sophomore Scott Alexander and freshman John Cochrane won two sets despite losing the first.
FRESHMAN MIKE WOLF and sophomore Michael Center composed the No. 1 doubles team, and senior Jim Stearns and junior Stears played on the No. 2 team.
Perelman said that Southern Illinois and Kentucky were ranked as two of the top 20 collegiate teams in the nation. However, he did not use that as an excuse for KU's play during the weekend.
"Whoever has the bottom two spots we have to be constantly on their toes."
"We didn't play up to our capabilities, and we weren't able to prepare as much as I would have liked to, what they did, back to school last year," he said.
Wolf played no 1. singles over the weekend, followed by Center, Syrett, Stearns, Alexander, and Cochrane. Richard Blond and Frank Cocappolini, two players who saw a lot of action last fall for the Jayhawks, lost out in challenge matches in determining last weekend's lineup, Perelman said.
HOWEVER, HE SAID HE wouldn't be surprised to see them back in the lineup before the season was out, and they were still hotly contested throughout the season.
After hurried preparations for last weekend's double dual, the Jayhawks will have two weeks to get ready for their next match in Fayetteville, Ark. where they will take on Arkansas and Tulsa.

"About all we had time for last week were challenge matches," he said.
In the meantime, Perelman said that his team would resume the conditioning program of running and weightlifting it had been on before Christmas break, as well as working out at the Alvamar Country Club indoor courts.

Rozier to play for team. Maulers president says
By United Press International
PITTSBURGH — Heisman Trophy winner Mike Roizier will play for the Pittsburgh Maulers despite his apparent firing of the agent who negotiated his contract with the new United States team. The franchise, team President Paul Martin said.
"Contrary to what has been reported by the media, we have no indication at all from anybody close to Mike Rozier or from Mike Rozier himself that there is any dissatisfaction at all with number one, his playing in Pittsburgh and, number two, his contract." Martha said at a news conference.
Martha also said Rozier's newly hired attorney, Art Wilkinson of Philadelphia, denied in a conversation with the lawyer planned to challenge Rozier's contract.
"He claimed he never made a statement like that concerning the authenticity of the contract and the possibility it might be voidable." Martha said of his conversation with Wilkinson.
EARLIER IN THE DAY, Maulers spokesman Bill Keenist confirmed part of the report by the Boston Globe that Rozier had fired Mike Trope. the agent would be on three-year, $1.1 million contract Rozier signed with Pittsburgh on Jan. 3.
THE GLOBE REPORTED Sunday that Trope coerced Rozier into signing an agreement with the Maulers, threatening to reveal that Rozier had taken money from the agent before his senior year.
Keenist said that Rozier fired Trope and that his family, which lives in Camden, N.J., hired Wilkinson to represent him.
"It's created some confusion, but we feel there's no reason to be alarmed." Mike will play. "Keenist said. "It appears that it's more of a situation between Rozier, Trope and the Rozier family.
The team also has been in touch with the Rozier family and Keemst said the drafter's No. 3, draft choice was employed on a practice team practice this weekend in Florida.
That would have possibly made Rozier ineligible to play in Nebraska games, made him ineligible for the Heisman Trophy and would have forced his college team to forfeit games he had played in.
Keenist said that Wilkinson had been in touch with Martha and that he had given every indication that Rozier was positive about playing.
"We've done everything right." Keenist said. "We feel as we have all陪 We have We Rozier under contend, and he'll be playing for the Maulers.

Big 8 honors Hornacek
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Point guard Jerry Horncock may not have been good enough to play in the Big Ten — but he's good enough to beat the Big Ten.
Hornace played the best game in his two years at Iowa State when he collected 12 points, 15 assists and eight rebounds in helping the Cyclones to a 76-72 upset Saturday of Iowa, the preseason Big Ten favorite.
It was Iowa State's first victory over its Big Ten rival since 1977, and Hornacek's performance against the Hawkeyes was instrumental in his selection yesterday as the Big Eight Player of the Week. He also had 20 points in a 74-68 upset of No. 15 Oklahoma earlier in the week.
IN HIGH SCHOOL, Hornacek was tagged small and slow by recruiters
and no Big Ten or Big Eight school offered him a scholarship.
He stayed home that fall but a chance meeting between his father, a longtime high school coach and referee in the Chicago area, and Gary Cook, then an Iowa State assistant coach, led to his enrollment at the Big Eight school.
Cook told the elder Hornace if he was willing to pay his son's tuition and fees the second semester, Jeff could practice with the Iowa State team that winter. And if the coaching staff liked what it saw, he could earn a scholarship the following school year.
BIG EIGHT NOTES Iowa State officials said yesterday that Saturday's Big Eight basketball game between the Cyclones and Kansas has been sold out.

Mahre forfeits World Cup title for wearing brother's number
By United Press International
PARPAN, Switzerland — Steve Mahre of White Pass, Wash., posted the best overall time in a World Cup civil race yesterday then had his triumph taken away from him by a jury because he twin brother Phil's startling number.
Instead, Marc Giraardelli, a 21 year Old Austrian skiing race for Lux embourg was named the winner. He crashed on the 29 seconds slower than Steve Mallew.
Phil Mahre, the reigning World Cup champion, finished sixth but was also disqualified because of the number switch.
Shortly after the announcement of the disqualification, Bill Marolt, director of the U.S. alpine ski team, said his team would file a protest against the jury decision with the council of the International Skiing Federation.
ITALY'S ERICH DEMETZ, a member of the council, said the protest would be handled sometime in the future.
Steve Mabre, the giant slalom world champion, had posted the fastest first heat time, 56.39 seconds, wearing number 3 instead of 13. He showed up as a juniper at the World Championship issued standings and on television, but the mix-up of the starting numbers was
first noticed by U.S. slalom coach Tom Kelly, who informed the jury.
"I'm not happy to have won that way, and certainly it was not me protesting."
GIRARDELI PUT TOGETHER heat times of 56 39 and 58 00 seconds, on courses dropping 166 meters and flagged out with 66 and 64 gates, respectively, for an aggregate time of 1:47.19
"On the other hand, such a thing just should not happen. But then, it was even worse when at Parpun last year when Ingemar Stenmark (Sweden) and Paul Frommell (Austria) finished 1-2 in qualification. Steve Mabre won that time."
De Chiesa might have been the only one who noticed the mixup while watching the game.
"I'm not so much pleased with my rank, but more so with my effort." Grardella added. "I had two excellent days, and second when I clocked the best time.
Second place was taken by Italy's Paolo de Chiesa with an aggregate of 1:47.83, while Liechtenstein's Andreas Wenzel finished third in 1:47.87.
inner 3 and thought by
... but can't be Phil. There's
something fishy here.
The outcome of the race had little
bearing on the overall World Cup
standings, which is being led by
Switzerland's Pirin Mirzn briggen with
122 points. Wenzel moved past down-
hill Franz, Heinz of Switzerland into
the top 30.
STENNARK, THE OLYMPIC slalom,
and giant slalom gold medal failed,
to get among the points scorers after
when he got his hickory at the
first turn of the first run.
The Swede, who had won two of this season's previous slaloms, had appeared to be on the way to first place, but he had been intermediate time before his mishap.
Another World Cup slalom is being contested on the same course today, and it's a good bet that Phil and Steve were closer look at their starting numbers.
Marel said, "It's a mistake of the staff, not of the two Mahres. It would have been the responsibility of the staff to it that each wears the proper number."
Kelly admitted, "I'm the one to blame. Last night, I handed Steve his starting number folded over, so just the 3 of the 13 looked out. Phil wasn't there, so I gave Steve Phil's number along as well. They are rooming together, and I assume Steve believed he was supposed to wear the 3.
"When I realized what happened I went on top and told the jury what happened. We could have played it real hard, not told anyone anything and could have gotten by. No one would have noticed, they look so much alike."
