SPORTS V The University Daily KANSAN September 7, 1983 Page 12 Czechs look strong in U.S. Open tennis By United Press International NEW YORK — Martina Navratilova and Ivan Lendl, heavy favorites to give the U.S. Open tennis tournament a Czechoslovakian flavor, continued to romp through the field yesterday with straight set victories. Working quickly and efficiently on another steamy, simmering afternoon, Navratlina reached the semifinals by beating West German Sylvia Hanika, 6-0, 6-3, in 48 minutes. Lendl worked his way into the quarterfinals with a methodical 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 win over Johan Kriek. Both Lendl, a Czechoslovakian, and Navratilova, who defected from that country and now lives in Dallas, have reached this point in the tournament without losing a set. Also reaching the men's quartierfalses were No. 4 Yannick Noad, No. 5 Mats Wilander and No. 9 Jimmy Arias, who came from London with cups of water to fight off the heat. United Press International Noah put an end to the dream of 16-year-old amateur Aaron Krieckstein, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3, and Arias, who said he was feeling the effects of the heat in the very first game, used his improvised shower to help him overcome Joachim Nystrom of Sweden, 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-0, 6-0. Pam Shriver, who knocked Navarriolta out of last year's Open, qualified for another meeting with her good friend and doubles partner, Navarrielta, by beating No. 3 seed Andrea Jaeger, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3. NEW YORK — Martina Navratilova prepares to hit a backhand shot during her quarterfinal match with Sylvia Hinka at the U.S. Open. Navratilova, trying to win her first Open title, advanced with a 6-0, 6-3 victory yesterday. She will face doubles partner Pam Shriver in the semifinals. Ticket sales decrease By COLLIN HERMRECK Staff Reporter Despite increased ticket promotion, low student season-ticket sales at the University of Kansas have caused the institution to take a "wait and see" attitude. as of yesterday, only 4,700 of the 7,500 tickets needed to meet budget expectations had been sold, said Tom Hof, athletic department ticket manager, but he said it was too early for disappointment. Of 4,700 tickets sold, 2,400 were for reserved seating and 2300 for open seating. Hof said. On the four pick-up days assigned by class rank, Hof said that seniors bought 300 reserved seats and 150 nonreserved tickets. Juniors and graduate students purchased 450 football and 150 All-Sports tickets. Sophomores bought 250 football and 36 All-Sports tickets and freshmen bought 55 football and 120 All-Sports tickets. All-tournament ticket sales are higher than last year's. Some officials in the athletic department cited the conflict between the Labor Day weekend and KU's first home game with Northern Illinois as one of the reasons why student sales had been slow. He said the department would continue to promote sales next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with a booth stationed in front of Wescoe Hall. Hamrick said the department tried to make it easier for students to purchase tickets this year by selling tickets three days last spring, at orientation sessions, and at enrollment for the first time, in which 1,700 tickets were sold. Although ticket sales would depend chiefly on how well KU was doing on the field, home games with Kansas State and Wichita State would help sell tickets, Hamrick said. Many of those sales, however, would come from single-game tickets rather than season tickets. Susan Wachter, athletic department business manager, said the money lost from unsold season tickets would be made up from away-game gate receipt guarantees and single-game gate receipts at home. The department has sold about 11,800 public season tickets so far this year, and Hamrick credits some of that success to a new program labeled the The first-year program consisted of younger alumni and boosters who voluntarily sold tickets in Topeka, Kansas City, Hamrick said. Students can still purchase tickets at the athletic ticket office in Allen Field House from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

And he wanted to do something exciting as well. By the Kansan Staff So on a cool, rainy Labor Day, he grabbed his golf clubs, hit the course about 6:30 a.m. and played 324 holes of golf. He raised about $3,000 from donations by people who backed his attempt to break the world record of 415 holes played in one day, he said. Half of the money will go to benefit the KU Golf team and the rest will be given to the National Golf Foundation. "I've been thinking about doing it for a year or so." Wilite said. "Last winter, Ross Kandall, KU's golf coach, told me he helped me get into the game as much money as he needed for golf team trips, so I decided to help him out." KC pitcher impressive but Mariners still win By RUSTY FABER Sports Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals dropped their fourth straight game last night, falling 3-1 to the Seattle Mariners despite an impressive seven-hit pitching performance by Bud Black. Black, 8-6, limited the Mariners to six singles and an RBI double by Steve Henderson. Henderson's double and a run-scoring wild pitch were all the Mariners needed to cash in on their second straight win. Royals manager Dick Howser said he thought his club did well despite the "Bob Stoddard was throwing the ball real hard," Howser said. "It was exploding all night. I thought we hit the ball real well but there were just a few situations where we didn't come through." Stoddard, 8-14, lasted $5_{2}$ innings on the way to his second straight victory, giving up just six hits and a sixth-inning run. he was relieved by Mike Stanton in the sixth inning. Bill Caudill finished up to record his 23rd save. Henderson's double in the fifth inning, which scored Al Cowens, was followed by a wild pitch by Black. The second inning pitched the plate with Seattle's second run Second baseman 'Tony Bernardzard singled in Spike Owen for the Mariners'. The Royals scored their only run of the night when Hal McMae doubled home George Brett, who had singled, in the sixth inning. Brett played first base for the game as Howser continued to shuffle his line-up hoping to find a winning combination. The loss, coupled with the Chicago White Sox 7-4 victory over the Oakland A's, dropped the Royals 14 games behind Chicago. The White Sox magic number is now 11, which means any team that scores in Kansas City losses totalling 11 will clinch the division championship for the White Sox.
