Frosh spark improved men's tennis season
Sports Writer
By JOHN RASMUSSEN Sports Writer
The future of KU's tennis program is brighter thanks mainly to Scott Alexander and Rick Aubin.
Alexander, Kansas City, Mo, and Aubin, Overland Park, are freshmen. Both came to KU with impressive credentials. Alexander placed second in the Missouri State tournament and Aubin won the Kansas state championship his junior and senior years in high school. Alexander now is playing No. 1 singles for the Jayhawks and Aubin is playing No. 2.
Alexander admitted there was some pressure playing No.1 as a freshman.
"There is some, but it helps that Rick is a freshman, too," Alexander said. "We've known each other for about seven years."
Alexander will be facing mostly older, experienced players. That doesn't bother him - he sees it as a way to improve his game.
"I like playing No. 1 because the competition is better," Alexander said. "I might win more matches playing No. 2, or improve my game more by playing No. 1."
KU continued its winning ways by beating Baker, 4-3, in a dual played here yesterday in the wind. Charles was able to win UU's team, was sick and unable to play.

"In college tennis, you usually play six singles matches and three doubles matches, but since Stearns was sick today, we only played five singles and two doubles," Coach Randy McGrath said.
Alexander, Aubin, Jim Syret (No. 4)
and Doug Campbell (No. 5) were all winners in singles for KU, but the
women failed to win a doubles ratch
KU will take its 2-0 dual mark to Overland Park park tomorrow when it plays K-State at the Indian Creek Racquet Club. The Jayhawks team has been reduced to six players because Tom Hall recently quit the team. Campbell, a walk-on, moves up to the No. 5 spot to replace Hall.
Alexander said he thought the Joywhacker this year, and even earlier in the future.
"If we keep improving, we should be able to get third or fourth in the Big Eight this year," he said. "We have some good sophomores, and by the time we are juniors, we should have a fairly good chance of winning the Big Eight."

Guria, 11-7, struck out three and walked none en route to his 12th complete in the tie; retired 16 straight before giving up ninth-bunting leadoff single to Gary Ward.
The Royals, last year's AL champions, swept the three-game series and were unbeaten in the playoffs.
