KU Thinclads Plan For League Meet
"We're going to play it straight," remarked Coach Bill Easton as his squad marks time this week ahead of Kansas bid for its ninth consecutive Big Eight Outdoor track and field championship in Ames May 20-21.
"We're not going to send any boys into events they haven't been running regularly and we're not going to double many outside the relays.
"We've got to have men ready to do their best in every event. There are danger points all along the line because of the fine personnel throughout the league. You can't let down anywhere in this league or someone will whip you.
"If we are to win at Ames we're going to have to come through all along the line. The pressure is on in every event. One school has fine personnel in one event and another school in another event. There are no soft touches."
Only expected Jayhawk doubler beyond a quarter will be Bill Dotson. He currently owns the conference's best Mile clocking of the spring,
4:09.5, and has run 1:55.6 in the open half mile. He surprised with a second place finish in the latter event indoor after running third in the Mile.
Busiest Jayhawker will be Charlie Tidwell, who earned the Schulte award last year as the meet's Most Outstanding performer. He is scheduled to defend his crown in the 100, shoot for the 220, anchor the 440 relay unit and possibly carry No. 3 for the mile relay quartet. He is not expected to defend his 220 low hurdles crown.
Jays Battle NU In Last Road Set
Veteran Billy Mills is scheduled in the Two-Mile only. He ran second in both distance hauls Indoors. He owns the league's best time in the latter at 9:12.2 and likely will need to run that fast to place high in what appears to be the finest distance field in Big Eight history.
Here are the Big Eight standings going into the semifinal weekend of play:
Still pursuing Colorado up the Big Tight baseball ladder even after a 2-1 series triumph over the Buffaloes last weekend, Kansas plays its final road set at Nebraska Friday and Saturday.
Fleyd Temple's Javhawkers climbed past the Cornhuskers into sixth place as Nebraska fell twice to Oklahoma State's defending champions and current league-leaders. KU must win at least two at Lincoln, however, to preserve a skinny half-game bulge over NU, let alone gain more ground on the fifth-place Buffaloes, which must tackle O-State at Stillwater.
his stablemate, Paul Williams, is down for duty in the first three events. Darwin Ashbaugh will be the only other tripler with duty on an odd combination of broad jump, javelin and low hurdles.

Temple plans to lead with his veteran righthander, Tom Holler, in the front end of Fridays doubleheader, Sophomore Jerry Waldschmidt, who put credit for one victory and one defeat last Friday at Boulder, is scheduled for the nightcap, with Ken Hensley booked for Saturday's nine-inning singleton. Matt Madden, who hailed out Hensley when a 14-3 lead threatened to disappear in the finale against CU, will stand ready for relief duty.

Jays to Close Out Season With Missouri Clash Saturday
By Tom Clark
The curtain falls Saturday on the last scene of KU's most successful sporting venture this school year when Coach Denzel Gibbens and his victorious Racket Squad invade Columbia for their final bout of the regular season.
However, this scene is not the big one. The grand finale comes a week from Saturday when the Jayhawkers travel to Ames, Iowa, in quest of the Big Eight tennis crown. The oncebeaten Crimson-and-Blue tennis team is shooting for its twelfth victory in thirteen outings, and ninth in a row when they collide with the Tigers.
Mel Karrle, Pete Woodward, Dave Coupe and Jim Brownfield, the Big Four of KU tennis, will pack their bags and make the long trek east in search of their eleventh singles victory in thirteen outings. Brownfield's singles loss at Iowa State was only his second of the campaign, and put him in a four-way tie for the best singles record. Chances are good that all four will wind up the season tied with 12-2 records.
Joining the Big Four is Bill Gochis, who earned his berth on the traveling squad the hard way. At the beginning of the season, Gochis found himself relegated to the No. 6 spot on the team behind Bill Sheldon. A position much like the vice-presidency, Gochis had to sit on the sidelines while the top five men played
He played a singles match against Washburn, and then teamed with Brownfield or Coupe whenever Coach Gibbens needed a man to fill in on the No. 2 doubles team. Each time Gochis answered the call and twice in three tries replied with victories. That constituted his tennis season through the first nine matches, excepting losses to Sheldon in challenge matches for the No. 5 post.
But Gochis' patience was rewarded. Last week when the team journeyed north, Sheldon was unable to make the trip. Gochis again filled the bill, and this was the last time this year he would answer the substitute call. He swept to two victories on the trip, including a dogged 15-13 victory at Iowa State after trailing 5-10.

--week he was to show it. Despite the fact that he had never defeated Sheldon in a crucial challenge match, Gochis took to the courts again with his No. 1 adversary. This time, the senior racketer was fighing for a berth on the final tennis trip of the year, and possibly his last performance in a Jayhawk uniform. This time it was different. Gochis rose to the occasion with a 6-3, 6-2

The climax has not been written, however, since Sheldon, another senior, has the Big Eight Conference Meet next Saturday to look forward to. But, in the meantime, Gochis is enjoying a place on the team—not as a fill-in, but as a full member representing his Alma Mater.
