--two hours at night," he said. "We lift weights three times a week, and we do dryland exercises—push-ups, sit-ups, and things—before each workout."

Steve Graves left himself a tough act to follow this year after winning three events at the Big Eight swimming championships and the CWA Championships last year as a freshman.
"To place at the NCAA championships is my goal this year, instead of just qualifying. Graves said. "Last year I 1 year ago was sort of a gift. I didn't do much after that."

Winning the 200- and 400-yard individual medley and the 200-yard backstroke came as no surprise to either Graves or Bill Spahn, men's swim coach.
"Earlier in the year Coach Susha and I talked about it, and we thought I could do it," Graves said. "I was counting on two of them to be around about the third one, the 200-medley med."
"THERE SOME GUMS I thought
would be pretty tough in there. Once I got
a bite, it was good."
Though he and Spahn are both from water, they swim in swam for the swim club's coaches caught
Last year Graves swam times of 1:53.5 in the 200 IM, 4:94.5 in the 400 IM and 2:07.4 in the 200 breaststroke. They were all KU records. The NCAA qualifying times were 1:54.1 in the 200 IM, 4:94.5 in the 400 IM, and 2:07.1 in the 200 breaststroke.

"I swam for the other team," Graves said. "I had known Spain in Wichita for several years. I came to KU because it was a good condition. I expected a lot of competition."
He spent last summer in California, instead of swimming for his old club.
"I WENT OUT to Los Angeles and swam with the Dutch Boy swim club, which is coached by Peter Daland, the USC swim coach," Graves said. "It was good experience, because you get to swim with the top level swimmers around the country."
He said that his favorite event was the 200-yard individual medley, and that it the 200-yard breaststroke were his strongest events.
But it took him some time to find it out.
"I started in local programs when I was 1 about 7 years old. It was something to do during the summer," he said, "I finally took it over in AAU competition when I was 12.
"When I was little I was a backstarker and butterflier. I probably officially became a breaststroker when I was 14. It wasn't until about my junior year in high school that my IMs started coming around to my first time I made it into the state finals."
Graves he was used to the long hours that swimmers put in during the season.
"We swim an hour in the mornings and
strengthened ourselves in our weak events," he said. "We didn't improve as much as we thought we might, but we should be tougher. We'd better be tougher to take the Big Eight this year."
Graves said he thought this year's team was improved from last year's.
"Overall, we are a little better. We
KU sent only two swimmers, Graves and David Estes, to the NCAA championships last year. Graves said he thought KU would have a larger contingent this year.
"There are several guys that are planning on going to the NCAA this year. We should have several relays, and we should have a lot more guys there this year."
The Big Eight championships will be held the first week in March, and the NCAA Tournament will be held in April.
Swimmers to compete in relays, invitational

The men will face all of the Big Eight schools plus Texas-Arlington, Missouri-Rolla and Drury. Bill Spahn, men's swim depth would probably decide the meet.
"Missouri has the best depth in relays,
along with us," Spahn said. "We have better relays last year. We really have no room to grow."
The women will face some of the top teams in the country in the Nebraska Invitational. Gary Kempf, women's swim coach, said he was unfamiliar with some of the skills.

"I don't know enough about some of the teams to be able to predict how we will finish," he said. "I think we will be right in there."

Phillies dump greedy Rose
"We have made an offer that would have made Pete the highest paid player in Phillies history," club owner Rudy Carr commented. "Unfortunately, it was not quite enough.
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The Philadelphia Phillies announced yesterday that they were no longer negotiating to acquire Pete Rose, baseball's aging superstar in search of a new uniform for next season. next season.
"He didn't get into the game of one-upsmanship, and for that I have the greatest admiration. He's a great player and I wish him the best."
THE PHILLIES for some time had been considered the front runner in the Rose sweepstakes with a reported offer of $1.8 million over three years.
Since returning last week from an exhibition baseball tour with the Reds in Japan, Honda has visited Atlanta, Kansas City, St. Louis and Pittsburgh. San Diego and the New York Mets also made overtures, but are no longer in the running.
ROSE SAID the Phillies offer was "a tremendous one, but it wasn't what I thought I could get from a couple of the other ball clubs."
Asked who the frontronter was now, Rose said, "I don't think there is a frontronter. We're down to four—three in the National League and one in the American League—I've said all along I'd like to stay in the National League and beat San Mausa's record."
MUSIAL HOLDS the National League record for career hits with 3,630.
Rose said he might reach a decision as early as Sunday and would first call all the teams involved before making any public announcement.
Earlier in the day, the New York Mets announced that they were withdrawing from the Rose competition, saying the switch-hitter had turned down a package offer and received an offer amounted to $800,000 for three years, five then years in an off-the-field capacity.
