KU Tennis Hopes Rest Largely On Two Sophomores,Junior
KU's hopes in the Big Seven tennis tournament will be shared by three sophomores, one junior and one senior. The tournament will be held in Lincoln, Neb., Friday and Saturday.
The Jayhawkers have improved a great deal since the season started and must be considered a threat to win the conference title.
Their first big loss of this season came when Gene Kane, who had been counted on to fill the No.2 slot behind Bob Riley, was declared ineligible due to scholastic difficulties.
Lost First Three Matches
Kansas lost its first three matches of the year. Riley was the only Jayhawker who was winning consistently but the rest of the squad was gaining experience. On April 19 the Kansans defeated Wichita for their first victory. The Jayhawkers kept right on rolling and added
seven more victories to end the regular season with an 8-3 record.
The Big Seven tournament is divided into seven brackets. A player's ranking in his own squad will be considered in drawing up the brackets.
The tournament will feature a battle of the No. 1 men and tops on this list, of course, is OU's Barry Walraven, the Big Seven singles champion and Jayhawker Bob Riley, who was dethroned by Walraven in Manhattan last May.
According to Riley, "Walraven is the best player I ever played against in college but I think I can beat him."
Iowa State's Eddie Hoffman cannot be counted out of the running for the singles title. On the strength of his early season victory over Riley at Ames he is considered a definite threat.
CHARLES CRAWFORD
Each team will receive one point for each match it wins.
Charles Crawford, KU coach, said,
"I think we're at least second best
in the conference and if we get a
few breaks we can win it."
Riley Still No.1
As the Jayhawkers leave for Lincoln Riley is in the No. 1 spot, Bib Peterson No. 2, Lynn Sieverling No. 3. Ron Bevers No. 4 and Bob Mettlen No. 5.
Crawford will go with the same two doubles teams that have been successful in eight straight matches this year. Riley and Bevers make up the No. 1 combination while Peterson and Sieverling are the No. 2 team.
Kansas has a team that has regularly gained experience but it remains to be seen if the Jayhawkers can stand up under competition from the six other schools in the conference meet.
Oklahoma has won the Big Seven tennis championship five times in the last eight years. Colorado, last year's champs, also won in 1953 and 1954. The last time Kansas won a conference net title was in 1948.
Satterfield Favored Tonight
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — (UP)— Big Bob Satterfield loomed a 7-5 favorite today in tonight's 10-round heavyweight match against Frankie Daniels at Memorial Auditorium here.
Satterfield's edge has based upon his greater punching power and Daniel's relative inactivity of late.
The first robin of spring, one of the earliest migrants to reach its breeding areas, arrived this year as it has for many years, when the temperature averaged about 35 degrees Fahrenheit, timed with the return of earthworms.
