Javhawk tennis team splits two matches
By GARY GRIGGS Sports Writer
The Kansas Jayhawks men's team was hoping to gain momentum for the Big Eight conference season which ended split two matches last weekend.
On Friday, KU defeated Dratch. 6-4 in a controversial match. On Saturday, however, the Division II hex still hovered over the Jayhawks. This time the culprit was Northwest Missouri State. 5-4.
The Jayhawks were scheduled to play another match yesterday, but the Southern Illinois team did not appear.
AGAINST DRURY, freshman, Scott Alexander, defeated Seve Chamley, 7-6, in the No. one singles match. This was the match that stirred up con
With Chamley leading the first 5-set and serving for set point, Chamley hit a deep shot to Alexander's baseline. When she was rulled "in" by one of the line judges.
Alexander thought the shot was out but returned it anyway. However, Chamley did not attempt to return Alexander's shot.
Chamley claimed the call should have been overruled and he should be credited with winning the first set. Alexander claimed he should be awarded the point since he made a good return shot.
Both coaches discussed the call, and after about a 30 minute delay, it was decided that the point should be relavel.
Alexander won the replay point and then went on to capture the set. But after he won the first game of the
second set, the Drury coach pulled his player off the court, thus forfeiting
AS SOON as all the singles matches had been completed, the Drury coach refused to play the doubles matches.
"There were a lot of questionable calls." KU Head Coach Randy McGratain said. "I guess their coach was really nervous about it, and going so they just packed up and left."
In other singles matches, freshman Rick Aukin defeated Bruce Patton, 75-76, in the No. two match. Senior Ed Williams, in the No. three match, 74-3, 74-6.
Freshman Craig Tidwell defeated Norm Vialle in the four. match, 2-6, 7-6, 6-3. In the five match, junior Jim Syrett defeated Rieger Niemeyer 3-6, 3-6, and senior Tom Hall defeated Dunaway 6-1, 6-3, in the six match.
THE LOSS TO NWMS marked the third time in the past week that the Jayhawks had fallen 5-4 to a Division II school.
With the match tied 4-4, the outcome came down to the No. one doubles match. In this match, the KU tandem of Aubin and Tidwell had two match point opportunities, but wound up losing to Jim Eaton and Jim Gersner, 8-6, 7-7.
In the other doubles matches, Hall and Syrett defeated Dave Deloach and Ron Von Dielingen, 6-2, 6-4, in the three match. Meanwhile, Bolen and Alexander were defeated by Godwin and Adeyemi, 6-4, 6-3, in the two match.
Winners for the Jayhawks in singles play were Aubin in the No. two match, who defeated Johnson, 6-1, 6-4. Syrett defeated Dielingen, 6-3, 6-1 in the No.
five position, and Hall defeated Deloach in the No. six match 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
IN OTHER singles action, Alexander was defeated by Adeyemi, 6-3, 4-6, in the No. one match. Bolen was defeated by Eaton in the No. three match. Gervain was defeated by Kidwell in the No. four match.
In summing up the weekend's play, McGrath said, "This sure wasn't one of the best times in my career."
"The loss to NWMS was about as tough a defeat as we've had all year," McGrath said. "We were close with two match points and all. I was up so upset felt like going out onto the football training my head into the blocked sling.
"I was really disappointed that Drury didn't play doubles. Then to make matters worse, Southern Illinois doesn't even show up to play us. They would have been good for us to play then before we start Big Eight play them.
THE PLAYERS were equally upset and frustrated.
"I don't see why we can't bounce back. We'll all be over this tomorrow."
"What makes it so tough is that we didn't play that bad." Bolen said. "It seemed like everything they did went wrong, but we tried to some hot teams at the wrong times."
"It really hurt losing these 5-4 matches," Syrtet said. "We thought we had it won. We just can't get to any breaks."
The Jayhawks, who are now 4-5, begin conference play this weekend in a series of games. The task for them as they play three of the toughest teams in the conference.
On Friday, KU plays defending Big
Eight champion Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have won four consecutive Big eight titles. Last year, the Cowboys defeated the Jayhawks twice, 9-0, 9-0.
Oklahoma State is led by All-American Mark Johnson. However, the Cowboys will be without the services of another All-American, Kirk Loomis, who is out for the year with an arm injury.
"It's going to be tough," McGarth said. "Oklahoma State has a great team. Missouri probably has its best team, but it still is a bit better than they have been."
THE JAYHAWKS will play Colorado on Saturday and will wind up the trip by playing Missouri on Sunday. KU lost to Utah last year, and fell to Missouri, 8-1.
"We will have to be at the top of our game if we're going to do well."
Syrett feels the Jayhawks' recent 5-4 setbacks will benefit them in Big Eight play.
"They really have improved our mental toughness and competitiveness," he said.
Bolen said that if the Jayhawks are to turn things around, the first step is to cut the losses aside.
McGrath said he wished his team would be more consistent.
"One day it seems like a couple of guys will play good and a couple of guys will play bad," he said. "Aubin probably played the best tennis he's played all year this weekend, but we knew the players that didn't play all that well."
"It sure would be nice if we could all play well on the same day."
Two members of the KU men's track team, discus throw Matt Friedman and decathlete Owen Buckley, set national qualifying marks at the Texas Relays, held last weekend in Austin, Texas.
Friedman, a senior from Great Bend, threw the discus 18-4 to place fourth at the meet, which was the first stop on the prestigious Midwest relays circuit. In the decathlon, Buckley, a Slovak City, Iowa, junior, received three points. Their performances were good enough to qualify them for the NCAA national outdoor championships in Provo, Utah, next June.
that hurt our performance."
Also, the four-mile relay team of Tim Gundy, Bob Luder, Tim Tays and Greg Lebert took second place in the 2014. Arkansas won the race in 16:41:7.
Two qualify for NCAA meet
"Things went pretty well," Roger Bowen, KU assistant track coach, said. "We were short on people, and
Bowen said that injuries to Warren Wilhoite, who has tendinitis, and Anthony Polk weakened KU's chances in the sprint relays.
Bowen said that several Jayhawks achieved or came close to achieving their personal best records. Clint Johnson's 184-foot throw was a personal best in the discus. Valentino Robinson also had his best time in the 110-meter high hurdles with a time of 14.20.
Besides Buckley and Friedman, several other Jayhawks qualified for the finals at the meet, but did not place.
KU also sent 11 athletes to the Southeast Missouri State Invitational outdoor meet in Cape Girardeau, Mo., last Saturday. At that meet, Larry Metzger took third place in the pole vault, tying his personal best of 16-6, and Gary Lowrie took second in the shot put.
Track team wins three events
The KU women's track team won three events and placed several other athletes Saturday at the first annual NCAA Division III Golf Championship in Missouri State in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
In the discus, Becky McGranahan, who set a KU record and qualified for nationalists in the event last weekend, had a throw of 15-47 for another first-place finish. Also placing first were shot putter Stine Lerdahl, whose 48-43 win over last year tested the 3,200-meter relay team of Kelly Wood, Bever Mortimer, Anne Johannessen, and Gretchen Bajema won the race in 9:27.
KU track coach Carla Coffey said that while her team did place high in the relays, they still had room to improve.
in the relays, the 800-meter team, consisting of Dora Spearman, Nancy McCullough, Tucker, Smitherman and Lorna Tucker, finished with a time of 2:59. The second-middle team meter of McCullough, Smitherman, Tudie McKnight and Tucker also
