Tennis Team Preps For NU
"ladder" tournament play Wednesday, Del Hadley regained his position on the tennis team by challenging and defeating No. 5 man Bruce Wenger, who started against Washburn last Monday, 6-4, 6-8, 6-2.
However, he lost several of the opening round challenge matches to aggressive newcomers, namely Gene Kane and Bud Burke, and when the scheduled season commenced Hadley watched from the sidelines. At the time of these initial defeats he was short on practice, but his game improved greatly since then.
A junior this year, Hadley held down the regular No. 4 position last year and was seeded third on coach Dick Mechem's qualification "ladder" at the beginning of pre-season workouts.
The victory over Wenger, who is also a returning letterman and regular last season, puts Hadley back on the varsity five and means that he will no doubt make the trip to Lincoln Saturday when KU faces Nebraska.
Jim Whittaker, who claims to be a novice, split sets with Roger Alberty, and will meet Alberty at the stadium courts this afternoon to finish his two-out-of-three challenge for the ninth rung of the "ladder."
Whittaker won the first set 7-5 and held Alberty to 7-9 in the second. The winner of this match will play Phil Rein for ownership of the No. 8 spot—just three jumps away from the starting No. 5 berth.
Bud Burke, varsity No. 4 man, has challenged and will meet Gene Kane, sophomore No. 3 man, this afternoon in an attempt to move up the ladder before next weekend's first conference meet.
Both Burke and Kane are newcomers to the squad, and both have outstanding records thus far. Burke is undefeated in eight matches—including those against Tulsa and Washburn, and Kane's only defeat this spring has come at the hands of older-brother Dave, No. 2 man for the second year.

Golfers Trim K-State 7-5 To Win No. Three
Kansas golfers made it three in a row Wednesday as they trimmed Kansas State 7 to 5 in a dual meet at the Lawrence Country Club.
Cousins Dave and Jerry Smith of K-State tied for medalst honors with two over par 74's. Dave Smith handed captain Bob Richards his second loss of the season.
Usually the golf team decides who makes the trips by playing matches. However, to Jim Davies, No. 4 man, it was a question of who had a car.
The golf squad left today for Norman to play the University of Oklahoma. The trouble arose because none of the first four players, who were to make the OU trip, had cars.
You Don't Need Car, But It Helps In Golf
It was decided that Davies would drop out and let the winner of a match between John Jones, Mark Nardyz, and Noel Rooney take Davies' place, making it a match between a Chrysler, Lincoln, and Mercury.
However, before the match, could be played, Jones decided he would drive to Norman anyway, so Davies regained his No. 4 spot.
Wiley To Start Friday's Tilt
Coach Floyd Temple today named Ron Wiley as the starter for Friday's Rockhurst game.
Wiley has won two and lost none thus far this season. He will try for his third win.
Coach Temple indicated no change in the line-up and said he would start Barry Donaldson at catcher, Jim Trombold at first base, Dale Gulledge at second base, Barry McDonnell for Fortune Hoglund at third base, and Don Steinmeyer, Bob Conn, and Eddie Dater in the outfield.
KU beat Rockhurst on the home field last Saturday 12 to 4, behind the one-hit relief pitching of left-hander Gary Fenny.
The Jayhawks will open the Big
Richards had trouble making his putter work as 35 of his 75 strokes were taken on the green.
Ed MacGee, Kansas No. 2 man,
had putter trouble as well, taking
35 putts, but he won his match
against Ron Young with a four over
par 76.
Bill Sayler tied for second low for Kansas as he fired a 76 in defeating Dave Pfuetze. Jim Davies carded a 78, but it was not enough as his opponent, Jerry Smith, shot a 74.
Richards, MacGee, Sayler, and Davies will leave with coach Mike Chalfant today for the Oklahoma matches.
