Netters win, 7-2 Singles play takes shape
The KU men's tennis team won five of six matches matches on its way to a 7-2 win over Southwest Baptist yesterday on the Allen Field House
"On paper, it should have been a 5-4 match," said KU coach Scott Perelman. "It was one of the best plays played as a team in quite a while."
Freshman Michael Center was the only Jayhawk to lose in singles, falling to Al Jordan 7-5, 4-6, 1-4 on the No. 1 singles match, Sophomore Charles Stearns beat Raul Saad 6-4, 7-6 in No. 2; senior Brett Blair whipped Kevin Kopp 6-1, 6-8 in No. 3; junior Francisco Cacioppiolined edges Jimmy Nelson 6-3, 6-1 for senior Jim Syett beat Kevin Johnson 6-3, 6-1 in No. 5; and freshman Tom Black beat Dave Cox 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 in No. 6.
"Everybody was ready to play," Perelman said. "That's the best singles we've played since the fall.
"Michael's down, but he's come a long way for a freshman. He's playing well, but hasn't got over the hump yet."
Center and Stearns lost to Jordan and Saad 7, 5, 6-7, 6-4 in No. 1 doubles; Blair and Syrtet beat Kopn and Johnson 6, 4-4, Black and Caccioppoli beat Grazini and Cox 3, 6, 2-6, 6-1.

Soviets select delegation
KU head track coach Bob Timmons announced yesterday the names of the delegates that the Soviet Union would be sending to the 1983 Kansas Relays.
The U.S.S.R. Sports Committee has selected a team of five women and seven men to represent the Soviet Union, to be April 20-23 at Memorial Stadium.
HEADING THE LIST for the Soviet squad are Nadezhda Olilzeranko in the women's 800-meter run and Svetlana Ulmasova in the women's 3,000 meters. Both women are the current world record holders in their respective positions.
Other female athletes include Valentina Kurochkina, ranked 10th in the world in the heptathlon; Nadezhda Ralduginia, ranked eighth in the world
in the 1,500; and Zamira Zatsvez,
ranked second in the world in the 1,500.
HEADLINING THE men's team is Gennady Valukievich, third in the world in the triple jump, and Janis Bojars, third in the world in the shot put. Others are Alexander Krupsky, fourth in the world in the pole vault; Grigory Degtyarev, ninth in the decathlon; and Sergei Kilibaba in the triple jump. Alexandra Newsi, 14th in the decathlon; and Sergei Kilibaba in the pole vault.
"I am really pleased to learn the identities of the Soviet athletes." Timmons said. "There is some great quality there."
"It's too early to tell yet, but we will spend some time trying to find some
high quality athletes to match the Soviet athletes up with.
"RIGHT NOW, it looks like the pole walt and the decathlon should both be given."
The Soviets have also named a sporting legend to coach their delegation, said Mark Scott, executive director of Athletes United for Peace. Coaching the men's squad is igor Ter-Ozaneseyan, a former Olympic swimmer, and the women's team Ozaneseyan is famous for his duals in the 1960s with U.S. long jumper Ralph Boston. Nikolai Malyshev will coach the women's team.
Elena Tetushkova, deputy chairman of the national organizing committee for the Olympic Games, will head the entire Russian delegation.
Golfers lead in tournament

KU's score of 294 after 18 holes is 13 points ahead of the second place team,
KU's top two golfers lay the pack on the 72-par course. Rob Wilkin is in first place with a below-pal first round 71. KU's Dan Mullen and Dean Frankiewicz are tied for second just two strokes behind Wilkin at 73.
Not too far behind the leaders are Jayhawks Chris Hamman, at 77, and

NC State one-point favorite over Cougars

to go home.
The NCAA tournament can no longer be called the "Road to Albuquerque."
It's Final Four time.
No. 1 Houston, No. 2 Louisville, No. 14 North Carolina State and No. 15 Georgia are all taking part in the festivities in Albuquerque. For Houston and Louisville, it's a repeat performance of last year, when both made it to the Final Four. Both lost in the semi-finals, the Cougars to North Carolina and the Cardinals to Georgetown.
The Wolfpack from NC State and the Georgia Bulldogs have taken different routes, each creating their own Cinderella story.
talked-about play in the tournament
After careful observation of all four teams, here is my view of how the teams stack up and the inside scoop on going to be the next national champion.
HOUSTON—The Cougars, a.k.a. Phi Slamma Jamma, are a group of awesome physical specimens. They also have the best nicknames of the tournament. They are led by Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, who showed Memphis State's Andre Turner the soles of his Converse on the most
Joining "The Glide" on the front line is Akeem "The Dream" Olajwun, the 7-foot Nigerian who has a personal hotline with Moses Malone. "The Dream" led the nation in blockshot shots against the Raptors by Larry "Micheux," the only senior in the starting lineup, adds beef and scoring up front.
Houston has beaten Maryland, Memphis State and Villanova. They have the nation's longest winning streak, 25

games, and they are dominant on the fast break. Towel-chewing Guy Lewis is the coach of the Cougars, who are two-point favorites over Louisville in
LOUISVILLE — The Cardinals can physically match up with Houston better than any team in the country. Scooter and Rodney McCray, along with Charles Jones will match up with the Cougar front line.
The Cardinals are making their third Final Four appearance in the past four years, including 1980, when they won the national championship. Lancaster Gordon leads the Louisville backcourt corps.
The name of Louisville's game is nitting the boards; they have been "nitted" in recent years.
nation. They beat Tennessee in the first round.
PREDICTION: Louisville is talented, but the brothers of Phi Slamma Jamma will be too much for them up front. Houston has not been bothered by the loss, but it will intimidate the leaguers from Louisville. Score: Houston 92, Louisville 84.
GEORGIA — Coach Hugh Durham and the Bulldogs have the people in Athens asking "Herschel who? In" to answer. In the interview, the Dawgs have surprised everyone.
Georgia's tallest player is 6-7 Terry Fair, who had 27 points in the Bulldogs' upset win over St. John's last week, and four points in the win over North Carolina.
Guards Vern Fleming and Gerald Crosby form a strong backcourt combination. Georgia edged Virginia Commonwealth by two before upsetting St. John's and North Carolina. They defeated them, but they have rebounded amazingly well so far.
One advantage that the Bulldogs have is that they have not lost a game outside of the SBC this year. Somebody else might say that they are not supposed to be this good.
NORTH CAROLINA STATE — The team of destiny. They were hoping to qualify for the NIT before they upset both North Carolina and Virginia in the ACC tournament. In their first tournament game against Peppardine, the
Wolfpack was down by six with one minute left in overtime, and they had used all of their timeouts. They pulled it out in the second overtime.
Dereck Whittenburg and Sidney Lowe, who have played in the same backcourt for the past seven years (four at State and three at Dematha High School), are the leaders of the team.
The front court is led by 6-4 Tauri Bailey and Lorenzo Charles. Forward Cozell McQueen doesn't score much, but plays well on defense.
The heart and soul of the Wolfpack is Coach Jim Valvano. The dynamic Italian has prepared the Wolfpack well in the Final Four for the first time.
PREDICTION: Two Cinderella stories, but Valvano will make the difference. You'll fall who will fail, will again pall the one of the fire. Score: NC State 66, Georgia 65.
CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION:
Houston definitely has the talent and will be heavily favored to win.
However, they have not yet played a close game in the tournament. Franklin has already said it will be Houston and Louisville in the final, so they may be overlooking the Wolfpack.
North Carolina State has beaten all the tough teams to get where they are, and — they will shatter the Cougars dream and win it all for Valvano. Score: NC State 80, Houston 79.

Mark Cerney, coordinator of the KU Frisbee Club, said last week that 23 men's teams and four women's teams from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, Illinois and Nebraska would compete in the tournament. The contest will be on the intramural fields at 23rd and Iowa streets.
GAUL SAID THAT the great thing about Frisbee is that anyone can play it. However, it takes a special quality to be a "Zontal." That quality, he said, is "feel."
"You've got to want to get that Frisbie, three feet in out of front of you or five out in front of you, so bad that you could be killed." Zontals also a good team," he said.
Wizards, Tunas, Ultimattees and, of course, Horrorzontails will be just some of the 27 Frisbee teams from the Midwest to vie for the championship in the second annual April Fool's Festival Ultimate Frisbee Tournament this weekend, sponsored by the KU Frisbee Club and the Horrorzontails.
The Frisbee club has grown so there are now enough skilled members to field a second Ultimate team this spring. The Disc Force, an extension of the Horrorontals, and the Ultraviolets, the KU women's Frisbee team, will also compete in the tournament this weekend.
Wayne Gaul, graduate student in radiation biophysics, has watched the KU Frisbee club grow and progress with two of his friends founded it in 1977
OVER THE PAST decade, the new sport "Ultimate" has grown greatly in popularity and has spread to college campuses throughout the nation.
The teams, which include the St. Louis Tunas, the Kansas City Ultimates, and the Manhattan Aerial Wizards, have been separated into three divisions. Teams have been experienced each has had in tournament play and by the number of experienced players on each team.

THE FIRST GAMES are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. The tournament will continue until late Saturday afternoon and the seminal, consolation and championship games will be played Sunday morning.
Cerney said the tournament was designed to let each team play other teams with about the same level of experience.
Members of the team explain that "Horrorontal" refers to the horizontal position players sometimes find them, when they must dive to catch the Frisbee.
Today, highly competitive play is
MORE MATURE Ultimate teams play the game with strategy and finesse. Their games are the most exciting to watch. Over the past five years, the KU Frisbee Club has such a team, the Horizons.
"We're dedicated to having fun," Cerney said. Thus, even though this tournament is a serious one, the players and spectators are encouraged to participate in the crazy antics that frequently occur at Frisbee tournaments.
