Recruits to boost men's golf team
After last year's disappointing University of Kansas men's golf season, John Hanna, the men's golf coach, is very optimistic about the coming year.
"We played very poorly last year. I was very disappointed in our performance throughout the year," he said. "But I'm really excited for this year. The recruiting for this season went very well, and I think I will be ready when the year who want to play golf and have fun."

Among the new members of the squad is Scott Templion, Wellington freshman, who won the 3A Kansas State High School golf tournament by 10 strokes. Templion and J.L. Lewis, Emporia freshman, another KU coach, also won the New York-based high school golfers in Kansas by Hannah.
SOME OF THE other recruits include
Mark Crow, Topeka junior, and Doug Anderson, Topeka sophomore, and led Coffeville Junior College to the Kansas Conference Championship last spring.
Also, the Jayhawks will have Joe DeDert, Colby junior, who played last season for Colby Junior College, and two Detroit-area golfers, freshman Glenn Murry and junior John Lions. Murry was an all-state Michigan golfer last season and Lions spent the year golfing for Odessa (Tex.) Junior College.
Hanna said he would spend more time with the golfers and would emphasize fundamentals in an effort to improve the program.
"There is going to be more competition this year within the team. Nobody will be
able to shoot a high score like an 82 or 83 one day and expect to play in the next tournament or match," Hanna said. "We have a lot of new faces as well as old ones, and they all will be pushing each other to get a position on the team."
Jim Doyle, Kansas City graduate student, one of last year's co-captains, will be returning for his fourth year after graduating in three years. Doyle, a three-year letterman, was ninth in last year's Big Eight Championships.
"You aren't going to get any better if you don't have someone pressuring you and forcing you to do your best. I think that will be the case this year," Hanna said. "We have the potential we need to have a fine year and I'm really excited."
Baseball team looking for repeat of record-breaking 1978 season
By KEN DAVIS Sports Writer
During spring at the University of Kansas, the Jayhawk track team is usually in the spotlight because of its record of excellence.
But last spring another sport drew the most attention at KU. While the track team struggled with injuries and a scattered staff, the KU baseball team had its best season ever.
The Jayhawks posted a 34-13-1 record, including an 8-4 division record that was good for second place in the Big Eight's Eastern Division.
KU SHATTERED a two-year-old record for most wins in one season (23) by a Jayhawk baseball team. KU had a chance to win its first divisional title last season but dropped a doubleheader to Missouri on May 10, played, and the Tigers took first by one game.
the second place finished earned the right Tour Tournament in Oklahoma City in mid-September.
Kansas was eliminated from the tournament after losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Oklahoma, the 1977 champions, downed KU, 2-1 in extra innings in first-round play. Oklahoma State, which won the tournament, ended the Jayhawks' season with a 5-2 decision in the second round.
"THE MAJOR fact was that we just didn't hit the ball as well as we had been," said Floyd Temple, KU head coach. "We were getting good pitching from (Terry) in the Oklahoma game, but they tied it in the second half in extra innings. That took a lot of out of us.
"Against Oklahoma State we jumped out to a 1-4 lead. Then they tied us, but our pitchers were pitching pretty well. Then we won in the first inning and loaded double to put the game away."
KU played without catcher Alex Gilmore, a senior, who injured his thumb in a game
He had a 321 batting average, eight home runs and 32 runs batted in. Dan Graham, a freshman, took Gilmore's place in the line-up.
"WHEN WE lost Glmore we lost his leadership as well as his bat," Temple said. "It's hard, especially when a young catcher is thrown into the fight."
Playing without Gilmore was not the only problem the Jayhawks encountered. KU's top four hitters—Vic Harris, John Spoettow, Steve Jeltz and Lee Ice—managed only three hits during the tourney, and that stilled the Kansas running attack.

That attack will be basically the same next season. KU lost four players from the 1978 squad. Masing it will be Glinmore, third pick and former Monte Hobbs and pitcher Dareve Hawks.
"We've got a pretty good nucleus coming back," Temple said. "We'll lose a lot of people next year. Primarily we will again emphasize the running game. We'll steal the win, extra base on hits and utilize the hi-and-year. We were successful with that last year."
TEMPLE PLANS to move second baseman Roger Riley to third base to replace Ice. Riley, who saw little action behind Jeltz, hit 200 in 15 games.
The rest of the infield will have Monty Martin at shortstop, Jeltz at second and Brian Gray at first. Temple is entertaining the idea of platooning Gray with Matt Kravitz in an attempt to hit 294 as a regular in the starting line-up last week but Gundelfinger played little.
"You can look for Matt Gundinger to contribute more this year," Temple said. He was a walk-on last year that made him into a role in the coaching pressure on Brian Gray. He's a right-wing leader.
handed hitter with power, and I just might platoon him with Gray."
Harris, Spottswood and Butch Vickers all will be returning to give the Jayhawks a strong outfit. Harris led the team in hitting last year with a 344 average and was followed by Spottswood who checked in at 340.
THE KANAS pitching staff probably will be led by Sutcliffe, a right-handed junior, who fashioned a 104 record and 1.72 ERA in 13 appearances last season. Bubulin regular Galen Worley will be back after posting a 3-2 record with five saves and a 1.99 ERA.
Temple signed three recruits during the off season. Included were two junior college pitcheris. Clayton Gleeman from Longview Community College in Lee's Summit, Mo., and Dave Hicks, from Eastern Oklahoma State Junior College. The third player is Mike Watt from Pittsburg, a pitcher-infielder.
KU can MU match its 1978 record despite lion players like Lee Ice and Andy Gilmor.
"We had good success last year," Temple
had good success they match it! "he'll do
pretty well."

HIGH BIAS.
These cassette deck manufacturers are highly biased for SA:
AIWA·AKAI·DOKORDER JVC·KENWOOD·MERITON·NAKAMICHI OPTONICA·PANASONIC·PIONEER SANSUI·SHARP·TANDBERG·TEAC TECHNICS·TOSHIBA·UHER·YAMAHA
And are joined by these in recommending SA for use in their decks. BANG & OLUFSEN·DUAL·FISHER HARMAN/KARDON·LAFAYETTE ROYAL SOUND·SANKYO AND MANY OTHERS.
There's been a quiet revolution going on in the cassette world. Leading makers of quality cassette decks have adopted TDK SA as their reference standard tape for high (C₂O₄) bias and equalization settings. Why TDK SA? Because TDK SA's advanced tape formulation and super precision cassette mechanism let them (and you) take full advantage of today's advanced cassette deck technology. In addition, a growing number of other companies are recommending SA for use with their machines. So for the ultimate in cassette sound and performance load your deck with SA and switch to the "High" or "C₂O₄" bias/EQ settings. You'll consistently get less noise, highest saturation and output levels, lowest distortion and the widest dynamic range to let you get the best performance from any quality machine. But you needn't believe all this just because we say so. All you have to do is check our references.
The machine for your machine
