we got to win the rest of the games, or at least seven." leffeldier Bill Yelton said. "It could be possible, if we play good enough."
Pitching for the Jayhawks will be Randy McIntosh and Duke Lohr tomorrow and Jim Phillips and Kevin Kroeker on Sunday.
To get into the playoffs, the 'Hawks must beat Oklahoma for the fourth spot in the Big Eight playoffs. Oklahoma, 8-5 in the conference, faces Iowa State and Nebraska to close out its season.

Kansas State, 26-31-1 overall, 2-14 in the conference, has not won a conference game since splitting a double-header with Iowa State earlier this year. Last year, the team took three of four from the 'Hawks.

Blue Jays romp past Royals
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Buck Martinez knocked in four runs with a homer and a single last night to carry the Toronto against victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Toronto pitcher Dave Stieb blanked the Royals on five hits. Stebb walked four and struck out four in winning for the first time in three decisions this season. He was a starter and also the first complete game by a Toronto pitcher in 1982, enabling the
Blue Jays to extend their winning streak to three games.
Martinez hit a three-run homer, his first of the year, in the fourth, to give Toronto a 4-10 lead and singled home to run up a two-run sixth inning outburst against Kansas City starter Paul Solitoff, 0-1.
The Blue Jays scored the only run Stieb would need in the first without the aid of a hit when Damascus Garcia walked, stole second and took third by catching error bycatcher John Wathan and scored on Garth Gorses saffrony飞
'Hawks to play alumni
The KU football players will finally get a chance to hit someone other than themselves when they take on a KU player in the game tomorrow, p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
"We'll play the game just like last year, by the ear," Coach Don Fambrigh said. "A lot will depend on the team and how large a squad they have."
"This is mainly a day for our alumni. It's something they enjoyed very much last year, and it was a success because of their enthusiasm."
Mike Fisher, academic counselor, will coach the alumni team. Fisher's team will have quarterback Bobby Bowden and running back quarterback from the 1980 Orange Bowl
squad, was named last year as the top alumni offensive player of the game. Laverne Smith, KU's all-time leading recruit, will be on hand to play for the alumni.
Recent stars such as Bob Fiss, Brian Bethke, Ed Bruce, Chris Toburen and David Lawrence, who has signed a free agent contract with the Dallas Cowboys, will add youth to the alumni team.
Defensive co-captains Tim Friess and Gary Coleman and offensive co-captains Paul Fairchild and Russ Bastin lead the Jayhawks. Quarterback will be counted as a great spring and will be counted on to lead the Jayhawks' offense.
Women's golf team takes sixth
With nine holes remaining in the 54-hole women's Big Eight Golf Championship in Ames, Iowa, Wednesday, Kansas was in good position. They had rebounded from the sixth-place position they started the day in and had a good shot at finishing fourth in the seven-team field.
But in those nine holes the women managed to shoot 35 strokes higher than they did on the front nine and the back nine, at pace, repeating last year's performance.
The sixth-place finished match coach Ross Randall's earlier prediction about the tournament, but Randall said it was the future of KU women's golf was bright.
year and the three or four recruits in the tactic, we have a really strong team.
Oklahoma State won this year's event with a three-day total of 917 strokes. Oklahoma followed with 800, then Missouri 981, Nebraska 992, Iowa State 1,002, Kansas 1,010 and Kansas State 1,261.
"We should be much, much more competitive next year," Randall said. "With the girl we have back next
The girls were disappointed with their finish." Randall said. "They didn't know how they were doing, but they knew they were beating people."
Despite the disastrous final nine, the Jayhawks scored 331 for the final round, their best of the tournament, beating three teams.
