7 in Page 8 University Daily Kansan, March 22, 1983 Scott Alexander, KU's No. 1 singles player, will be in action this afternoon on the Allen Field House courts against Northeast Missouri State as the Jayhawks try to break a nine-match losing streak. KU netters to play here today By JEFF CRAVENS Sports Writer Sports Writer Coming off a West Coast trip that produced nine losses, the KU men's tennis team will play host to Northeast Missouri State at 2:30 p.m. today on the Allen Field House tennis courts. The Jayhawks lost five matches in the Michelob Invitational at Nevada-Las Vegas, including a loss to Big Eight foe Oklahoma State. In duel meets on the West Coast, KU lost matches to Long Beach State, San Diego State, the University of San Diego and Yale. "Everybody played well at one time or another, but we never got everybody playing well at one time," Jim Syrett, KU's captain, said yesterday. Syrett and doubles partner Bret Blair combined to give the Jayhawks an upset win over the Oklahoma State team in the No. 3 doubles match. Syrett said he saw the next month as an important time for the team to gain the confidence it would need for the conference season. "We've got the toughest part of our schedule behind us." Syrret said, "We're at home for about a month and we want to see all of these teams that we should be able to beat." The Jayhawk's women's tennis team battled the rainy weather in Florida and came back from their trip with a 2-2 record. KU posted wins against West Florida and St. Leo College while North Carolina, South Florida and South Alabama. "The two matches that we lost tested our true ability." Roberts said. "The two that were rained out were also against good competition." Assistant coach Jenny Roberts said Kansas won, 8-1, against West Florida, winning all but the No. 1 singles match. The Jayhawks swept St. Leo, 9-0. Against South Alabama, KU lost all five singles matches before coming back to sweep the three doubles contests. Kansas won two matches against Florida, Laura Rumelmets and Debbie Coleman, andDebbie Stephens in No. 3 doubles got the Jayhawk wins. Softball team encouraged by 11-3 spring trip record The Kansas softball team headed for its southern spring trip concerned about the lack of depth and experience on the team. However, after winning 11 of 14 games, the team returned sporting confidence and an optimistic outlook Sports Writer By COLLIN HERMRECK "The kids did a good job of proving themselves in showing that we are competitive," Coach Bob Stancill said yesterday. "I have as much confidence in this team as I have ever had in any team. "It in all of ways it was one of our best spring trips ever in not only that we were winning but in what we accom- olished." What the Jayhawks accomplished was a second place finish in the Roadrunner Invitational in Las Cruces, N.M., where the Jayhawks won their first four games before losing to New York State in the championship game. THE JAYHAWKS BEGAN the tourney by beating Arizona Western, New Mexico Highlands, Wyoming and Baylor before knocking off nationally ranked Nebraska, 4-2, in the semifinal game. Freshman pitcher Tracy Bunge, who went 4-1 and was named the tournament's most valuable player, got the win in the Nebraska game in which Jayhawks were down 2-0 before erupting for four runs and a victory. "That game was a real big shot in our arm," Stancilt said. "I gave our kids a lot of confidence that carried over the rest of the trim." FRESHMAN COLETTE SEITZ, who came to KU at semester from Topeka West High School, played well both offensively and defensively for the Jayhawks and was voted to the all-tournament team. Setz, who also pitched a 10- victory New Mexico Highlands in KU's second game, helped the Jayhawks defeat Arizona Western 2-0 in the first game by slugging a two-run home run in her first collegiateat bat. After losing to New Mexico State in the championship game, the Jayhawks got revenge two days later by beating Oklahoma, two games of a double-header, 1-0 and 2-1. The next day KU traveled to Albuquerque where they split a doubleheader with New Mexico, winning the first game 3-0 on a one-hitter by Bunge. The Jayhawks lost 5-4 in the second game with Seixas suffering the loss. While the Jayhawks were blessed with warm weather in Las Cruces, they had to play in cold weather and drizzling rain when they traveled to Norman, Okla., for the Sooner Invitational. in spite of the cold, the Jayhawks started off hot at OU by nabbing three come-from-behind wins over South-West Missouri, Texas-Arlington and Indiana. The Jayhawks were trailing 2-1 in the first game before scoring three runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 4-2 victory and the fifth win for Bunge. The Jayhawks pulled the same trick twice more to win their pool and earn a spot in the championship pool of the tournament. THE JAYHAWKS LOST a close eight-inning struggle to 10th-anked Arizona State on a no-hit performance by the Sun Devil pitcher. "We learned that we could play with any team in the country," Stancifl said. "That's probably the most valuable thing we learned from the trip." The team's play during the spring trip lessened many doubts they had before heading south. Those doubts centered around a slim 12-member team that includes two seniors, one tree-sophorms and six freshmen. PAM COX IS the only senior who is a returning starter. Other returning starters are junior Becky Ascendo and junior Ben Cobb, Liz Commino and Candi Bower. "Cobb, Commino and Boyer were my freshmen last year," Stancliff said. "This year I told them they needed to play like seniors." KU women golfers start slow on spring season Bunge, who went 13-4 during the fall season, is expected to be the team workhorse on the pitcher's mound and has been shown that he was shown a high degree of versatility. The KU women's golf team opened their spring season last week by taking last place in the Sam Reyburn Country Classic in Jasper, Texas. The hayawkaws, who had to rely on the strengths of four freshmen last fall, got off to a slow start in the five team event, finishing 59 strokes behind winning Lamar University in the 54-hole tournament. “Obviously, from the scores, we weren’t very happy,” said assistant coach Ken Weisner. “You’re never going to win.” But you always try to pick the positive.” Weiser said that the big plus from the event was the fact that Kansas was able to send seven players to the tournament the five-woman team and two others. "Overall, it's a big plus that we got to see all of our players, especially our younger players. We got to see what they could do under tournament pressure." The Jayhawks were led by freshman Maureen Kelly, who finished with a 261 total for the event. Bev Boozer, Soliveg thorsteindtfort, Patty Cose and Lee Ann Loefheil, each carded a 262 total. Karen Gustafson (279), Lisa Black (283) and Branda Sanders (267) were KU's individual players. The Soviet Union has notified a Lawrence group that they would not be able to accept their invitation to the Kansas Relays. Soviet team unavailable Men's track team ties for 15th at NCAA indoor meet Athletes United For Peace, a local peacekeeping organization had extended the invitation Jan. 13 in an effort to bring world-class Soviet track and field athletes to the 1983 Kansas Relays. By BOB LUDER Sports Writer Although the KU men's track team finished in a disappointing tie for 15th place two weekends ago at the NCAA Indoor Championships, head coach Bob Timmons said he couldn't help be pleased with several KU performances. Because of prior commitments involving scheduling and training, the Soviet Union televised the Athletes United for Peace that they were unable to put together a contingent team. Mr. Scott was an executive director Mark Scott said. Timmons said KU runners had trouble with the 172-yard banked board track used at the meet, which took place in the Silverdome, Pontiac, Mich. "My first reaction at the end of the meet was one of disappointment." Timmons said, "but each of our guys had good performances. We didn't handle the boards very well, and that hurt us a lot." KU had run only once in this indoor season on a similar oval. you could tell that some of the teams, like Villanova, had a lot of experience running the boards," Timmons said. Jeff Buckingham, the NCAA ape vault record holder, cleared the 18-foot hole. THE 11-MAN JAYHAWK contingent scored in three of the 15 events to total 10 points and finish in a tie for 15th with the Bronx-based Richmond, Richmond and San Jose State. Southern Methodist won the national title with a total of 43 points followed by Villanova with 32 and Arkansas with 29. Iowa State and Kansas State from the Big Eight Conference both scored 14 points to tie for 12th. with a jump of 18-3 to finish fourth. San Jose State's Felix Bohni won the event with a vault of 18-5½. "JEFF WAS REALLY disappointed that he didn't win, but how can you say he vaulted badly at 18:37" Timmons said. "The three guys who finished in front of all vaulted their personal bests indoors." Warren Wilhoite, the current Big Eight long jump champion and last year's national runner-up also finished fourth in his speciality with a leap of 25-13a. Reginald Kelton of Jackson State won the meet with a jump of 26-64a with Kansas State's Veryl Switzer second at 25-10a}$ The Jayhawk mile relay team of Leonard Martin, Darin Hill, Rodney Bullock and Deon Hogan scored the only other points for KU with a fifth place finish in 3 minutes, 14.67 seconds. Oklahoma's quartet won the event for the second straight year in 13:11.21 Iowa. The Big Eight champion, finished third. KU ALSO HAD one scorer in the women's division of the meet. Long jumper Tudie McKnight placed fifth with a jump of 20-13%. The Jayhawks' ace sprinter, Deon Hogan, who set a world record in the 440-dash at the Big Eight Championship in Lincoln, Neb. finished third in his preliminary heat but failed to reach the finals. The two runners who edged Hogan in his heat, Villanaus's Carlton Young and Iowa State's Sunday Uti, went on to finish first and second in the finals. The two-mile relay team of Todd Ashley, Tim Gundy, Dave Cole and Van Schafer qualified for the finals but finished a non-placing seventh. SEVERAL JAYHAWK tracksters didn't use the spring break to rest after the National Championships but travel to Florida for a game with the Dominos Relays in Tallahassee, Fla. Wilhoe won the long jump with a leap of 25-10½, a lifetime best, and Johnson placed second in both the shot and the throw of throws of 187-9 and 18-10 respectively. KU decathletes Owen Buckley and Jeff Jaquar also competed last weekend in a meet in Houston, placing second on the all-time record ranks second on the all-time KU record books for the decathlon, scored 7,031 points for the ten events to place second at Houston, and Jaqua moved to third on the KU record books with a score of 6,888. JAQUA'S TOTAL is numerically inferior to Tom Currier's 6,907 point total of 1978, which was previously the third best score. But Jauqa's performance was electronically timed, while Currier's was hand timed. JIAYHAWK NOTES: Former KU assistant coach Gary Pepin has been named head of men's track at Nebraska in addition to his current women's coaching duties. Pepin women's squad won the national title with a total of 47 points to edge Tennessee's 44. LATECOMER TO CITY COMMISSION RACE MERITS ATTENTION Upon discovering that "no one is really addressing the issues," David Allen, a 27-year old student, has thrown his hat into the commissioning ring. Mr. Allen's arresting viewpoints include the opinion that any candidate claiming to represent "the whole community is leading somebody on" because "Any commissioner can listen to the whole community, but no one can speak for the whole because of all the varying interests." Cities can also be guilty of perpetuating bad housing by making the elimination of bad housing a low-priority item. The city of Lawrence, Kansas, for example, received federal monies from 1971 to 1973 for the expressed purpose of rehabilitating deteriorated homes and neighborhoods, but spent the money downtown instead. The federal program allows people with incomes of less than $400 per month to own streets, alleys and lightings also to be upgraded in low income areas of the city. The City Commissioners of Lawrence decided, however, to spend the money in the central business district (lighting, streets, sidewalks, and the improvement of a bridge that acted as a gateway to the business area), which they designated as a deteriorated neighborhood. During the three-year period, $28,000 went into the central district, and $28,000 went for the renovation of one home and the upgrading of alleys and sidewalks in a low income area of the community." Mr. Allen's enthusiastic support of the city manager stems from our having "made great progress with Buford at the helm . . . the last 13 years." In support of his thesis Mr. Allen cites the following excerpt from a university textbook entitled Social Problems by Dr. Stanley Eitzen. Mr. Allen is dissatisfied with the current downtown redevelopment proposals because none of them is "big enough." He feels that the city's interests would best be served by endorsing the area bounded by Massachusetts, Eleventh, Rhode Island and Providence Beach. "People have to be willing to sacrifice" in order to make this undertaking successful. Because the city has already "used Community Development funds for the development of downtown." Mr. Allen says, "there are undoubtedly such funds could be diverted to an industrial park." It is his opinion that the proceeds derived from a local income tax could also be used to underwrite this venture. This suggestion is an expression of Mr. Allen's firmly-held belief that citizens wanting jobs should "be willing to pay for them." Although intending to "raise and spend a considerable amount of money" during the campaign, Mr. Allen is, at present, a futurist without a financial foundation. However, he would probably be the first to admit that the aforementioned people's williness "to sacrifice" is the factor which will determine the success of his candidacy.
