Riley Seeks 30 Victories
"I would like to regain the Big Seven title I lost last year and get the 11 victories I need for a college career total of 30," These were the goals of Bob Riley, KU's No. 1 tennis player when the Jayhawkers opened their season at Oklahoma on April 12.
Bob has come a long way since! starting his tennis career at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo. Unlike most good tennis players Bob did not receive any training while still in grammar school. Thus he has had to work very hard to achieve success as a tennis player.
burn University, Riley and Davidson have met four times and the series is deadlocked at two victories apiece. When the two collide again this season the spectators should see some exciting tennis.
While in high school, Riley was never beaten in an inter-school meet, and his only losses were in out-of-school tournaments. Riley wound up his high school career with a record of 20 wins and only 4 losses.
Up until last summer Riley has
BOB RILEY
During his freshman year at KU Riley won both the fall and spring intramural singles championships. The first semester of his sophomore year he won the fall title again, and he later advanced to the semifinals of the Orange Bowl tournament in Miami. Fla.
Riley finished the season last year with a 9-3 record, and has an overall college career of 19 victories and 3 defeats. Also last season he lost his Big Seven singles crown to Berry Walraven of Oklahoma.
Davidson Other Vietor
During his first season as a varsity tennis player, Riley proved that hard work pays off as he cruised through the season undefeated. He finished that season with a 10-0 mark and won the Big Seven singles championship.
The other two blemishes on Riley's college record have come at the hands of Tommy Davidson of Wash-
Of Walraven, Riley says, "Walraven is the best player I have ever played against in college."
Looking forward to this season, Riley says, "Lack of practice and a sore thumb have slowed me down so far but I hope to play better later in the season.
toured the country's amateur tennis circuit throughout the Midwest. In 1954 he was ranked 22nd in national junior singles, after upsetting top-seeded Mike Franks of California in the U.S. Junior Singles tournament at Kalamazoo. Mich.
Also in that same year he was ranked No. 2 in the annual Missouri Valley Tennis Association ratings.

fraternity, will graduate from the William Allen White School of Journalism this June. His immediate plans after graduation call for a two-year stint in the navy after which he hopes to start a career in journalism.
When he was asked who has contributed the most to his tennis game he replied, "Ike Macy, who is the pro at River Forest Tennis Club in Chicago, Ill., taught me everything I know about the game."
KU's golfers are considered by some to be the forgotten athletes on the campus.
Golf is one of the minor spring sports. While track, basebail and tennis grab the headlines and crowds the golfers play their matches in relative obscurity, this despite an athletic administration that is very minor sports minded.
Riley also credits his former coach Dick Mechem for much of his success and recent improvement.
Bob is looking forward to a very tough season and feels that none of his coming matches will be easy ones.

The Kansas golf team practices and plays its home matches on the Lawrence Country Club course and except for the six best varsity men and the two best freshmen players every one who goes out for the team must pay $25 green fees.
Also, according to Coach Mike Chalfant, a second year law student, one golf scholarship is given every year. Jerry Krause, last year's Missouri state high school champion received the award this year. Last year it was Bob Richards, the Big Seven champion for two years.
Iowa State and Oklahoma own their own golf courses and Missouri is in the process of building one. Iowa, the team KU defeated Thursdays, owns a 27-hole course.
Missouri, according to Chalfant, had sufficient funds to build a course but there was no land available. So an alumnus bought some land, donated it to the university and now his name will be remembered by every Tiger golfer as the course will probably bear his name
On the 18th hole Elstun hooked his tee ball behind a tree. He tried to roll his second shot on the green, but it fell short. His next shot was on and he made the putt for a four. Elstun's total was 74.
Toalson smashed his drive down the middle on 18, nearly driving the green. He followed it beautifully, hitting his approach within three feet of the pin. He tapped the putt in to finish his record breaking round.
Elstun started his comeback on the 420-yard 16th. He put his approach shot six feet from the pin and made the putt for a birdie three to tie the match, while his opponent John Marschall took a five.
"The putts just weren't dropping on the front side, but everything fell together after 10," Toalson said. "I was sure scared when I stepped up on the 18th tee and saw that narrow fairway staring me in the face."
The rest of the team found themselves behind at the end of the front nine. Gene Elstun, playing No. 1, and Bill Sayler, team captain, both were two down at the turn but fought back for ties.

Elstun Birdies 16th
"That wedge saved me on the last three holes. This was worse than some of those basketball games," Elstun said.
Utilizing a thrilling comeback on the second nine, the Kansas golf team defeated the University of Iowa $9 \frac{1}{2}$ to $8 \frac{1}{2}$ Thursday afternoon at the Lawrence Country Club.
Toalson opened his bid with an eagle three on the 545-yard 10th hole. He birdied 12,16, and 18.
Bobby Richards holds the course record with a 67 on the par 72 layout.
Sayler split the fairway with his drive on 18, but was too strong with his approach. He got his third shot back on the green, but missed the putt and took a 5.
Sophomore Bill Toalson was the big gun for Kansas, and low man for the day, with a 1-under-par 71. Toalson, playing in the No. 3 position for Kansas, shut out cigar smoking Herb Klontz to win three points for the Jayhawkers.
Sayler began gaining on IU's Frank Judish at the 15th. He won 15, 16, and 17 to go 1 up, but lost 18 with a bogie five and had to settle for a tie.
He had a 4-over-par 40 on the front side but stormed back with an eagle and three birdies on the back nine for a 31, a new course record. He used only 11 putts on the second nine.

from the pin on the 300-yard 9th. His putt for an eagle lipped the cup but wouldn't fall. He had a 77 for the day.
Bob Wood, playing No. 3, had a 75 but was beaten by John Leichty, who had 73. Wood won the front side with a 36.
KU meets Emporia State today at 12:30 p.m. and Nebraska at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Both matches will be played at Lawrence Country Club.
Jim Davies won 2 points for the Jayhawkers by shooting a 75 to defeat Clyde Feltes. KU's Don Wilson shot an 84 and lost three points to Steve Showers, who shot a 77.
Women's Softball Ever Popular
"You're out! It's a home run! Hey ..hey, put it across the plate. St... ri... ke two!"
These shouts and the sounds of bats cracking hard against balls will be heard on the campus, although the teams will be composed of women rather than men.
Softball is not the only sport in which women participate in the spring, however. Also popular are tennis, table tennis and golf which require more individual skill.
Pi Beta Phi sorority was the hill champion last year.
