KU head baseball coach looks forward to promising season
By Rusty Faber Sports Writer
Marty Patton begins his third year as head coach of the KU baseball team this fall eagerly awaiting his Jayhawks' debut on Sept. 10.
Pattin's eagerness is well-founded after last season's third-place finish in the Big Eight, 17-17 overall record and the return of several key letterman. A successful recruiting season last spring is also cause for optimism, Pattin said.
"We recruited five pitchers who we feel can fit right in and help our program in a short time." Pattin said. "Charlie Buzzard has excellent control and knows how to pitch well as does John Steiner, another community college transfer. John Quinn of Wichita comes in as a freshman with good credentials and good command of his pitches."
Buzzard transferred from Barton County Community College in Great Bend.
PATTIN SAID IEE could not overlook the local talent of Brett Morris and John Snider, both members of the Legion AA baseball team in Lawrence, even though they were unable to play. The school is a School, which has no baseball program
Returning to the mound for the Jayhawks will be senior Dennis Coplan, who Pattin said was a "very consistent and a hard thrower," and John Heeney, who posted a 3-0 record for KU last spring. Senior Drew Hesman will also be given a good look this fall, Pattin said.
Returning for outfield duty are Joel Gibson, Mike Ingram, Todd Schweigert and Bill Yelton. John Hart of Tulsa, Okla., is a prize freshman recruit, and Pattin said he expected Hart to see plenty of action this fall.
On the infield, senior Joe Heeney returns at third base, and Pattin said he expected an outstanding performance from the veteran infielder.
"Joe is a very fine athlete and has
been an important mainstay for us over the past few seasons," Pattin said. "We're looking for big things from Joe this year."
Sophomore Scott Jones will be vying for action this fall at third base.
AT SHORTSTOP, John Glemn, another senior infielder, may have the advantage after seeing considerable action last season. Battling Glenn will be sophomore Todd Strohl, who Pattin Sullivan's best range of any intender on the squad.
Nick Zych and Chuck Christiansen will be at second base this fall and may battle for the starting end during the spring season.
Pattin made another key acquisition over the summer with the signing of Dan Christie, a left-handed hitting first baseman at Allen Community College in Iola.
Christy will play along with Phil Doherty, last season's regular first baseman and a right-handed slugger, Pattin said. Christy will figure in the jayhawks need a power-hitting left fender, a void on the squad last spring.
A TRIO of catchers will be calling the shots behind the plate this year. Senior Rob Thompson, who handled most of the pitches last year, will be joined by junior John Francis and sophomore Steve Scheetz.
"Potentialwise, we have a good ball club with plenty of depth." Pattin said. "Our biggest concern at this point is pitching, but with our recruits coming in, I can't help but be excited about our program."
Pattin will conduct tryouts for walk-ups this week.
"Normally we pick up a few at camp." Pattin said. "Last year we kept seven."
A meeting for interested candidates will be at 2 p.m., today in Allen Field Hall.
The Jayhawks will play a 12-game schedule of six double-headers against area junior colleges Sept. 10 through Sept. 31. Games will be played at Quigg Field.
Royals defeat Baltimore 8-3
By United Press International
BALTIMORE - Hal McRae drove in four runs with a home run, a double and a two run single, and Leen Roberts hit a solo hero yesterday to help the Kansas City Royals snap Baltimore's four-game winning streak with an 8-3 victory over the Orioles.
McRae doubled with two out in the
first inning to drive in W. Washington, who singled off loser Jim Lalmer, 23, and stole second. It was Palmer's first appearance with Baltimore since June 25 following an injury to his right shoulder and a short trip to the minors.
Roberts gave winning pitcher Bud Black, 7-4, a 2-0 lead in the second with his seventh home run, although Gary Roenicget made that back in the bottom of the second with his 15th home run and 13th of his career against the Royals.
Freshman quarterback Tom Quick tosses a pitch during Saturday's KU football scrimmage. Quick completed this play cleanly, but like the rest of the
team, struggled with the muddy conditions cause by an early-aftermon cloudburst. The scrimmage ended 10 days of two-a-day drills.
Rain hinders first scrimmage

"The weather factor kept down the speed and cutting, but the intensity and aggressiveness was there," such a man said. "I'll expect better next time."
Saturday's scrimimage team was supposed to be the unveiling of a high-powered offensive attack, but a quick pass by Michael Jawhaws in the 120-play workout
The Jayhawks' first official scrimmage ended 10 days of two-a-day practices.
Quarterback Frank Seurer completed seven of 13 passes for 104 yards despite the poor field conditions. He also had an 80-yard touchdown pass to tailback Kervin Bell called back by a penalty.
"FRANK STARTED out slow, but the weather had something to do with that." Gottfried said. "Later in the scrimgame, he took command."
Mike Orth, freshman quarterback from Liberal, ran the first-team squad while Seurer rested on the sidelines. Orth completed five of 11 passes to 133 yards, including an touchdown toss to running Dennis Carrnick.
Junior quarterback Mike Frederick entered on the first team's last series and completed six of seven passes.
"Mike Orth is really coming," Gottried said. "He's improving all the time. Mike Frederick responded and moved the team well."
Frederick hit tight end Jeff Anderson for a 12-vard touchdown strike.
Bell carried three times for 38 yards. Gottried rested him toward the end of the scrimgime, and Bell had ice on his knee afterward. Gottried said the ice was a measure to prevent injury.
"KERWIN PLAVED WELL. We've been running him hard in practice, and that will take its toll sooner or later." Gottfried said.
Bell's backup, Lynn Williams,
gained 26 yards on six carries and
Garfield Taylor added 23 yards on
seven carries.
The defense also had trouble with the muddy conditions, but the second-team offense failed to score against the first team defense.
Freshman defense end Lyndall Yarnell intercepted two passes, and the first team defense forced numerous errors.
"The defense had some good hits and made some big plays early, which gave them the edge."
"Confidence is the key. When you go 2-7, there isn't a whole lot of confidence there," he said. "But when work hard, the confidence will come."
muge came on the first play when safety Cole apparently broke his hand. Cole played the next three plays before taking himself out of the
Cole, recruited as a quarterback out of Hickman Mills High School in Kansas City, Mo., was moved to safety at the end of spring practice.
Cole said he would get the hand X-rayed today.
"I really don't know how serious it is until they X-ray it." Cole said. "They 'It put a cast on it and fix it up so that I can see where I should that I FI could be able to play with a cast on."
In the spring game, Cole intercepted two passes and was named defensive player of the game for the white squad.
THE ONLY INJURY of the scrim-
GOTTRIED SAID, "We know we're not to a point where we can lose a guy. We're below 100 players, and we need to be about that level, it's about to under what it should be."
Cole's injury further cut down KU's already缀ed rooster.
The Jayhawks have been laboring in the 100-degree weather for two and three practices a day for more than a week.
"We're going to start cutting down a little" "Gottfried said" "They've really been giving the effort and now we are refining what we we've taught them."
Woodard key in U.S. win over Canada U.S. dominates swimming, boxing in Pan Am games
By United Press International
CARACAS, Venezuela — Former Kansas All- America Lynette Woodard scored 22 points, leading the United States women's basketball team to a 87-79 victory over Canada yesterday at the IX Pan American Games.
The Americans led by 19 points late in the game, but the Canadians cut the deficit to five points with 1:53 to go. The U.S. then returned two of its starters to the floor to secure its second victory in two games.
"We tend to relax," U.S. Coach Fran Garmon of Texas Christian University said. "We can't put the knife in anybody. We're too nice.
WOODARD, ASSISTANT women's basketball coach at KU, was backed up on offense by four teammates who finished with 14 points each: Anne Donovan of Old Dominion, Cheryl Miller of Southern California Jancee Garrison of California Tech and Denise Curry of University of California-Los Angeles.
"Mostly, I think we're our own worst enemy. One of these nights we're going to play offense and defense for 40 minutes and we'll be awesome."
Canadian Coach Don McCrue said he suspected his players were intimidated
"I'm very disappointed," he said.
"We get into basketball games with the United States and our girls think new things have to happen
IN OTHER EVENTS, the United States proved to be almost as powerful. With Rick Carey of Mount Kisco, N.Y., setting a world record of 55.19 seconds in the 100-meter backstroke, the U.S. swimming team won five gold medals. The U.S. rowing team, sparked by a group of former Ivy Leaguers, picked up four gold medals leading an American onslaught.
American swimmers, who have won 21 of the 24 gold medals contested so far, completely dominated Sunday's competition. In addition to Carey's world record, U.S. swimmers broke the women's 900-meter butterfly, the women's 900-meter style and the women's 4 X 100 medley relay.
IN BOXING, Louis Howard, the 1983 Golden Gloves champion from St Louis, knocked out Alejandro Garcia of Mexico in a round Sunday in a wettersport bout
The United States now is assured of medals in 10 of the 12 boxing divisions. As a result of a draw, the United States wins Cuba for most of the gold medals
