8 Tuesday, September 27, 1977 University Daily Kansan Fotopoulos, tennis go together Sports Writer By DAN McGINLEY It did not take Carrie Fotopoulos long to decide what a tennis racket was used for: to win tennis matches. Potopoulos did not begin playing tennis until she was almost 11 years old, but a year and a half later she was ranked 12th in the nation in her age bracket. She is now a junior at the University of Kansas and is KU's top women's player. After this year she hopes to be known as the Big.Eight Conference's top women's player as well. Last year she finished second in the conference. "I think I have a really good chance to win the Big Eight," Fotopoulos said. "I last year it was really close." Tom Kivisto, KU tennis coach, agreed that Fotopoulos, who finished with a 20-8 record last year, can have a better record this year if she works for it. "LAST YEAR Carrie played well but had some disappointing losses," Kvistio said. "This year she has a great start, and she's the best player in the Big Eight. "I think she has a lot of improvement to make and it will be to make before she realizes her goals. I think she 'do it,' he said." Fotopoulos has been KU's top women's player since she transferred from Southern Methodist University after her freshman year. At SMU, which was ranked seventh in the nation, she was the number two player. A top prospect out of Shawne Mission East High School, Fotopoulos won the Kansas state championship three times while carving out a 71-record. "Dad wanted me to come here," Fotopoulos said, "because he played tennis and basketball here in the early '50s." HER FATHER, John Fotopoulos, was KU's top singles player and played basketball for "Phog" when ALK won the national championship in 1952. He has been her coach since she began playing tennis. She transferred to KU because the program improved and because of her coach at SMU, who she said was having personal problems at the time. "KU's program is much better now," Fotopolus said. "The coach makes all the difference. the three. "Kivisto is super—especially good at preparing you mentally for a match, a really great guy to work for." rightly greeted by the she practices about four hours a day, Fotopolos, a public recreation major from Prairie Village, said there was more to life than tennis. "Some people eat, drink and sleep tennis," she said, "I like to leave my tennis at the court." ALTHOUGH FINISHING second in the conference as a sophomore, she said she was disappointed with last year, as was the team, which tied for second. whether KU wins the conference this year, Kivisto said, depends a lot on how well Fotopoulos plays. This season she has a 4-1 record and is undefeated in league play, downing opponents from Kansas State and Missouri in straight sets. She also played well as a player playing haveked K-State 9-0 and Missouri 8-1, and has a 5-4 record overall. "The number one player has a big influence on the rest of the team," Kivisto said. "Her approach to competition and her desire to compete have become a lot stronger, she's making progress." Progress and hard work should enable her to do a lot of what she hopes to do this year — win tennis matches. Carrie Fotopoulos Javhawks put in overtime workout Getting ready to play the powerful Oklahoma Sooners does not promise to be an easy chore, the Kansas Jayhawks found out yesterday. "The team was hot, tired, sore and feeling sorry for themselves, and I'm sure Oklahoma won't feel sorry for them Saturday." Head coach Bud Moore said, "We spent more time on the practice field than I hoped to, but we needed to get some things accomplished. Linebacker Don Pile, defensive tackle Moore said that the Jayhawks suffered no serious injuries in Saturday's win over Washington State, but that minor injuries were a problem. Mike Beal, center Mike Wellman and tight end Kyleys all mastered practice restorations because he yesterday by annotator. "The injuries are all nagging stuff." Moore said, "nothing real critical, but it hampers us in getting ready to play." INJURED HALFBACK Bill Campfield and quarterback Mark Vicendese both worked out yesterday, but are still questionable for the Oklahoma game. "We won't play Campfield unless he's 100 hearts." Right now, "Right now we have plans to play him." Mое said the Jayhawks would have to leave them than they did yesterday to stay in Iowa. Without Campfield, the Jayhawks' running backs have been working to improve their blocking, one of Campfield's specialties. "It it's obvious we didn't do a very good job blocking Saturday," Moore said. "Hopefully COPIES 3½c no minimum KINKO'S 904 Vermont 843-8019 we can correct it by the time the week is out."
