The Jayhawks had a 3-8 record against these teams. They beat Indiana 71-61, Alcorn State 72-60, and Evansville 72-65. They lost to North Carolina 74-67.

Kansas tennis team wins fifth straight Sports Writer By GARY GRIGGS The Jayhawks were scheduled to play Tusla and the Suns, but that match was wakened because of cold weather. the Kansas women's tennis team stretched its winning streak to five matches this weekend, defeating Oklahoma City University, 6-3, and Alabama City, 5-4, in dual matches in Tulsa, OKa. Sagging temperatures forced the Jayhawks match with Oklahoma City to be moved indoors on Saturday. The teams had to play at 6 a.m. in the gymnasium, so the only time indoor courts could be reserved. “AS ONE COULD probably expect, the girls weren’t too excited about playing that early in the morning.” Head Coach Kathy Merrion said. “But I told them that since we’ve been practicing that time for so long, they ought to be used up and nobody to feel sorry for it was Oklahoma City.” "we all said to ourselves that if anybody could play at 6 in the morning, we could," freshman Oklahoma City played Oral Robers the night before, but that match didn't get over until 1:30 a.m. They then had to turn around and play Kansas at 6 a.m. Merrion said she was pleased with her team's performance against Oral Roberts, considering it was the players' first outdoor match of the spring. "I thought the girls did a good job. They really adjusted well to the circumstances," she said. "WE GOT off to kind of a rough start but you've got to take into consideration that we had to go over the whole thing." "We give some吹痰 to work out, but that should all come together as we go more practice this." In singles play against Oklahoma City, junior Maureen Gulloff was defeated by Becky Overturt, 6-2, 6-0, in the No. 1 match, Rumels, against Carlye Kirk, 2, position, defeated Perry Cockrum, 6-3, 6-2. In the 3, match, freshman Steffanie Dicke was defeated by Patty Martin, 6-1, 7-6. Senior Corey Nau was defeated by Connie Walker, 6-4, 7-5, in the 4, match. IN DOUBLELS play, the No. 1 team of Guilfoil and sophromar Marn Jensen defeated Overturf and Cecurinek, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. The No. 2 team of Nason and Rumelies defeated Martin and Walker, 3-6, 7-5, 6-1. In the No. 3 match, Willson and Dicke defeated Dalv and Settzerie, 6-1, 6-2. In singles action against Oral Roberts Guilfool was defeated by Linda Crain, 6-3, 7-5. Runsmell had her second consecutive match of the season and the defending champion Dicke was defeated by Suzie Hulstrand, 6-2, 7-6. Nason was defeated by Laurie Livesay, 6-3, 6-0. Wilson won her second match of the day by 4-1 in the first round. made it two for two, as she defeated Jeannie Tittle, 6-0, 6-3. In doubles play, Guilfoil and Jensen went down to defeat for the first time this season, as they were defeated by Cral and Hulstrand, 6-1, 6-2. Rumnels and Nason captured their second win of the day by defeating Parkey and Livesay, 7-6, 3, and Willson and Dicke also won their second straight match by defeating Roco and Tittle, 6-1, 6-3. "OUR DOUBLES TEAMS really pulled us out of both matches," Merrion said. "In both matches we were 3-3 after singles play, and the doubles teams really came through and did the job for us." "We've been concentrating on doubles play a lot more this year, because in the past we have been hurting in doubles," she said. "Also it seems that most teams don't have really great skills, so we have been trying to advantage of that by emphasizing doubles play in practice." "Our singles play needs some work. It's coming though, slowly but surely." "We're really going good right now, but we're still climbing the ladder," she said. "I have a real strong feeling that we are going to peak at Big Eight time." Jensen has really been pleased with the team's play so far, and according to her, this is only the third time. The Jayhawks begin their annual spring trip this weekend. This year's trip will take the team through Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. They will play at University of Arkansas at Little Rock on Friday.

The Jayhawks had their 400-yard medley relay team disqualified in the first day of competition, a possible loss of 26 points. The second day, one swimmer was disqualified for false starting twice in the 400 individual medley and Ron Neugent became ill while swimming the medley. Neugent managed to finish the race in sixth place. Defending champion Nebraska won the meet with 542 points, Iowa State second with 392, Missouri finished third with 78, Kansas fourth with 326 and Oklahoma fifth with 113 points. "These are the breaks in swimming. Our guys did a super job. I'm superbly proud of our team." We were on the field all day. Neugener earlier had qualified for the NCAA championships with a time of 3.075 in the tournament. "RON'S VOCAL cords went into a spasm and he wasn't getting any oxygen." Coach Gary Kempf said. "It was a tremendous effort for him to finish. Chuck Neumann was the other Jayhawk to post a national qualifying time in his second place finish in the 100 breaststroke. Neumann's time was 56,2 one-hundredth of a second off While the Jayhawks only had two national qualifying times, they set a number of KU records at the meet. Neumann's time of 50.1 in the 100 butterfly set a varsity record. Also Doug Heismath's time of 1:41.1 on the 200 freestyle, Ken Grey's time of 1:48.8 in the 200 butterfly and the 800 freestyle relay's time of 6:45.4 use KU records. Bob Vince also set a new KU record with his first place finish time of 15:39.4 in the 1,850 freestyle. Dave Killen was third in the event. He was unable to compete in the 1,850 freestyle, his best event. "WE HAD A couple of things go against us," Kempf said. "The point total doesn't show the team's performance. These aren't excuses, these are facts. We did a fantastic job. The other coaches know the situation and know we're a team to be reckoned with." Another good performance by the Jayhawks was turned in by Gardner Wright who was second in the 200 backstroke and third in the 100 backstroke. While the breaks hurt the Jayhawks, Neumann said they were able to shake them off. "For five minutes or so we would think 'What can we do,'" he said. "We came back though. You just try and take it. If we'd had Ron manage the last day we could have closed the gap." Although the Jayhawks only qualified two swimmers for the NCAA meet, they will get another chance this weekend at a qualifying meet in Lincoln. The meet is for individuals close to making NCAA times. The NCAA meet will be March 25-27 in Milwaukee.
