Riley,Ichabod Star Top Tennis Match
As unpredictable as the K.ansas weather is the Bob Riley-Tom Davidson dual is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday when the Jayhawker's tennis team meets the Washburn Ichabods on the KU courts.
The Riley-Davidson dual is the feature of the 7-match program which finds Kansas trying for its third victory of the season. After dropping matches to Oklahoma and Southwestern, KU has come back strong in its last two outings, defeating Wichita and Nebraska.
Kansas will also be trying to break a string of four straight net losses to the Ichabods. This string was started two years ago, during which time the Topekanis compiled a 19-1 record and added their 9th and 10th straight Central Intercollegiate Conference crowns to their credit.
The possibilities for breaking that string look very promising for the Jayhawkers, since the Ichabods lost four men who were mainstays during the past two years. With the exception of Davidson, Washburn will field a completely new team this year.
Washburn has already suffered two defeats this season to Kansas State and Emporia State.
But, the outcome of the Riley-Davidson dual is still very much in doubt. Both started their collegiate career at KU where they were room-mates and members of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. After one semester at Kansas, Davidson transferred back to his home town and Washburn University.
Split For Four Matches In their first two meetings
sophomores, Riley beat Davidson twice, but last year found the tables turned on him, losing to the Topekan in both of their meetings.
During those two years, both have established themselves as the state's top collegiate tennis players. Riley won the Big Seven Conference championship as a sophomore, and finished second last year to Oklahoma's Barry Walraven.
Tuesday's dual will be the first meeting of the year between the two players. Both are undefeated in early season matches. The second match will follow one week later when Kansas travels to Topeka.
If the previous two seasons are any indication, tennis fans might just as well plan to spend the whole afternoon at the tennis courts if they plan to see the entire match.
Both players rely on consistent games. In last year's dual in Lawrence, Riley won the first set, but Davidson came back to win the last two sets in a match which lasted 3 hours 45 minutes.
Although this is the longest match between the two players, neither has been able to gain a short, easy victory. With their consistent games, one of the longest and best matches of the season can be expected Tuesday.
Golfers Even Season Record
KU's roft team evened its record at 4-4 Friday and Saturday by routing Emporia State and Nebraska. The score in both matches was $19\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{2}$.

Against Nebraska, Toalson again was medalist, this time with a 73. Heained a 3-0 shut out over Mike McCulsiion, who had an 82.
Gene Elstun was plagued by six penalty strokes as he hit two balls out of bounds and had an unplayable lie. He shot an 80, but gained a 2-1 decisior over Warren Christenson's 81.
Toalson and Elstun with a best ball of 68, beat McCuistion and Christenson who had 73.
Bob Wood shot a 76 and defeated Don Treadway, who had an 83.
Jim Davies shot a 76 for a 3-0 shutout over Jerry Moore, who had an 87.

KU Takes Series From K-State
The Jayhawkers won Friday's game, 3-1, behind the 3-hit pitching of lefthanded ace, Ron Wiley.
The Kansas baseball team won 2 games and lost 1 in its 3-game series with Kansas State at Manhattan. One game was played on Friday with a double header following on Saturday.
Kansas State jumped to a 1-0 lea
i in the first inning. The Wildcats
scored on two walks and a single
by Paul Bader. Wiley then settled
down and struck out the next seven
batters in order.
Kansas scored single runs in the sixth, seventh and eight innings.
First baseman Jim Trombold scored in the sixth inning on a squeeze play executed by Don Steinmeyer. Left fielder Fuzzy Martin led off the seventh inning with a double and scored on a single by Barry Donaldson.
Trombold scored again in the eight inning. After reaching first on a single, he stole second and came home on Barry Robertson's single.
K-State southpaw Bill Blume allowed only 5 hits and won the first game of Saturday's double header, 3-1.
Miller Without Support Kansas pitcher Larry Miller did his usual good job in scattering 7 hits but received no support from
Miller Without Support
his mates. He has been given 2 runs in the 30 innings he has pitched this year.
Two of Kansas State's runs were unearned as KU had its worst defensive day of the year. Kansas committed four errors.
K-State scored its earned in the third inning when Gene Keady singled Jim Vader home from third base.
The Jayhawkers came back to run away with the third game 11-3, as right hander Bob Shirley limited the Wildcats to 4 hits.
State Uses Five Pitchers
Kansas grot 11 hits and 3 errors, as Kansas State used 5 pitchers in an effort to stay in the game.
Wildcat third baseman Jerry Hays spoiled Shirley's bid for a shutout by hitting a 3-run homer with two out in the last inning.
"We're real pleased with Shirley's work, and he'll be a starter the rest of the season." Temple said. Shirley has been hampered by arm trouble for two years but is in good shape this season.
"Our hitting is still poor compared to what it should be," Temple said. "The pitching at Kansas State isn't as good as we made it look."
A highlight of the 3 game series was the hitting performance of Fuzzy Martin. He got 6 hits in 12 appearances at bat, and has won a starting outfield position.
Kansas is now tied for the conference lead with Missouri and Colorado. Oklahoma is in second place at 1-1.
On Saturday Coach Temple juggled the lineup in an effort to get more power. Eddie Dater was moved into third base and turned in a good job.
"Until the boys make up their minds to hit we'll have to depend on our pitching. We won't be in contention unless we start hitting," he said.
