Swim teams to compete in series of dual meets
The men's and women's swimming teams will compete this weekend in the Midwest Dual, consisting of four dual meets, in Carbondale. Ill.
Southern Illinois-Carbondale, Missouri,
Illinois and KU are in the meet. KU head
coach Gary Kemp said the teams would
like to come but come with three
dual meet scores.
This will be the first time KU has ever competed against Illinois. Kemp said he was looking forward to the first meeting between the two schools.
Kempf said the strongest school at the meet in both the men's and women's divisions would be the host team, Southern Illinois.
Kemp said that his women's team, the Big Eight Conference champions the past 10 years, would get good competition from Southern Illinois.
"Southern Illinois is being favored," Kempf said. "They were seventh in the nation last season, but we will be very competitive with them."
Runners eyeing nationals
The men's cross country team is going to tomorrow's NCAA District V national qualifying meet at Springfield. Mo., looking for nothing but a spot in the national meet Nov. 19 at University Park, Pa.
head coach Bob Timmons said all seven KU runners must do their best in the race if the team is to finish first or second and make it to nationals.
"We are taking the hopes we can qualify for the national meet." Timmons said. "We have to be in the top two to quality, so we have to perform even better than we have recently."
Representing the University of Kansas will be Brent Steiner, Greg Liebert, Joe Manuel, Gordon Way, John DesResiers, Dan Owens and Kyle Roste.
Steiner finished third at the Big Eight Conference Championships Oct. 27 in Boulder, Colo., and has a good chance to win. But the team doesn't qualify. Timmons said
"Our top three runners are Brent, Greg and Joe," Timmons said. "The rest are in close place. If we are to qualify, the top three have to do well, but the other four have to perform very well, and they know this. We are all eager to go."
Women's harriers hit by injuries
The women's cross country team will travel this weekend to the NCAA District V national qualifying meet in Springfield, Mo. without all of its best runners.
Representing KU will be seniors Susan Glatter, Caryne Finlay and Heather Sterbent, sophomore Tracey Keith and freshmen Kellei Audley and Trish Alaire.
Senior Paula Berquist and freshman Trisha Mangan will not compete because of leg stress fractures. Sophomore Cindy Blakeley is out with a bladder infection.
Glatter will not be at full speed because of an arch problem. Rovelo said she hadn't run for four or five days and won't run until the meet.
The top two teams at the meet will qualify for nationals. The top three individuals not on the teams going to nationals will also qualify for the meet.
Competing in KU's district will be teams from the Big Eight and Missouri Valley conferences. Missouri, Kansas State, Iowa State and Colorado were all ranked in the last NCAA rankings, and should be the top teams in the district. Roelvo told it.
Volleyball team plays today
The volleyball team will take part in the Kansas State Tournament this weekend. This is the team's last tournament before a new tournament Nov. 16 in Norman, Okla.
The team was originally scheduled to have a match against K-State yesterday, and stay for the tournament, but the team was not because of scheduling problems at K-State.
KU will play Wichita State at 4:30 this afternoon and 7:30 this evening. The Jayhawks will play Tulsa at 1 a.m. daybreak. A play-off is set for 2 p.m. Saturday.
Head coach Bob Lockwood said the important game of the tournament was the one with K-State because it would also count in the conference standings.
KState beat KU on Sept. 25 in Lawrence, which was the Wildcat's only conference victory. The Jayhawks are winless in the conference.
The Jayhawks will be without sophomore Susan Rupf, who recently recovered from a shoulder injury. She re-injured the infruder in practice yesterday. Lockwood said.
Trout most popular draft choice
NEW YORK — Major league baseball teams avoided the ritz neighborhood of Rick Sutcliffe and Bruce Sutter and went bargain hunting yesterday, making Steve Trout, Don Asep and Ed Whitson the most likely choices in the re-entry free agent draft.
Because of their high price tags, only eight teams selected negotiation rights to Sutcliffe, the National League's Cy Young Award winner. Just six took Sutter, who tied a major league record with 45 saves this year.
Meanwhile, 17 teams chose Trout, 13 choose Asew and 11 choose Whiston. Trout, a left hand coming off a 13.7 season for the team, had been matched by more clubs than any other player.

'Hawks to face No.3 Huskers
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
The prospects are usually bleak for the KU football team when it plays Nebraska, but when the Jayhawks play the third-ranked Tampa Bay team, they will have reason to be optimistic.
The Jayhawks, 4-5 overall and 3-2 in the Big Eight conference, will be playing in front of their largest crowd of the season at Memorial Stadium. As of 4 p.m. yesterday, only 200 tickets remained for the game. The game begins at 1:30 p.m.
KU enters the game on a roll, coming off back-to-back victories over Colorado and Oklahoma. The upset of Oklahoma, as well as Syracuse's victory over Nebraska early in the season, showed the Jayhawks that anything is possible.
"ANY TEAM CAN beat any other team on any given day," tailback Lymn Williams said earlier this week. "That saying is true. We have the same depth of experience and enthusiasm we had against Oklahoma."
But beating Nebraska, 8-1 overall and 5-0 in the conference, will be a formidable task for the Jayhawks, who are 27-point underdogs. KU has not beaten the Huskers since 1963. Since 1977, Nebraska has defeated KU by an average of 42 points a game.
This year's Nebraska team doesn't look that much different from last year's squad, which roared through the season undefeated and won a game of Orange Bowl to the University of Miami.
Nebraska lost most of its offensive starters from that team, but the Cornhusker football factory always produces capable replacements. While not as spectacular as last year's offense that featured Heisman Trophy winner Mike Roeer, quarterback Turner Gill, and wingback Irving Fryar, this year's team leads the nashing in rushing.
Nebraska's top two tailbacks may each gain 1,000 yards this season. Starter Jeff Smith, a Wichita native, has 819 yards in the game. Dou Dugbile Hosse has 804 yards in nine rams.
Opening up holes for them is an offensive line composed entirely of fifth-year seniors. Anchoring the line is center Mark Traynowicz. He is one of 12 finalists for the Lombardi Trophy, awarded each year to the nation's top lineeman.
The Huskers don't need to throw the ball much, but they are usually successful when they do Quarterbacks Travis Turner and Corey Price second in the conference in passing efficiency.
"THEY'RE VERY SOUND," defensive coordinator Vince Hoch said of Nebraska. "They have an excellent running game and they can come complements the running game very well."
Noseguard Phil Forte said, “We’ve got to make sure that they don’t get any long runs on us and make them drive it down the field. When you can make a team drive 80 yards down the field, sooner or later something’s going to go wrong, either a fumble or a holding penalty, or something else. That’s what we were able to do against Oklahoma.”
But Forte pointed out that the Cornhuskers
are less likely to turn the ball over than the Sooners. Oklahoma had five turnovers against KU.
The KU offense hasn't turned the ball over much recently, a trend quarterback Mike Norseth said needed to continue for the Jayhawks to compete with Nebraska.
"We HAVE TO have a ball control offense with both running and passing." Norsebuck said. "We have to hold on to the ball for a long time and we can run. It will be important not to have any turnovers."
The Huskers, who returned nine defensive starters from last year's team, are ranked first in the nation in total defense and rushing defense.
"I feel our offense is very capable of moving the ball on Nebraska." Norse said. "Nebraska's got a sound defense. They play mainly a base defense, so we'll just have to challenge them. I think then we have a great chance to score some points on them and surprise them with some things were doing."
"I think this year their team is peaking later," Gottfried said. "Sometimes when you lose a game early like Nebraska did against Syracuse, it helps."

Tennis team hits the road without Wolf
By CHRIS LAZZARINO
Sports Writer
A short-handed men's tennis team will travel to Edwardsville, Ill., this weekend to play in the Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Invitational.
Because of injuries, illness, and academics, only four players. Michael Center Charles Stoanea. Dave Brody, and Chris will make the trip for the Jachaws.
Mike Wolf, KU's No.1 singles player, is out for the fall season because of recurring shoulder problems.
"If I did it stop now, there is a chance I would have to have surgery, and I could still have to have it. I needed to take a break from tennis, so I am taking it."
"THEY SAID I could probably play if the pain wasn't bad." Woolf said, "But if the pain started getting bad, that meant I had damage inside. I am at that point now."
Wolf said he three doctors in the past week. They all told him the same
"I am playing with a racquet that is mostly graphite, and it is way too stiff." Wolf said. "I am going to a Jack Kramer game and not so stiff. They are already ordered"
Wolf said he has been bothered by injuries for the last two years and it was time to get over them and be able to play without pain.
Wolf said he would work out with light weights and do numerous exercises for his shoulder and back. He also said he would change racquets.
WHEN I COME back, I should be as good as ever," Wolf said. "I am going to give my shoulder the opportunity to heal itself"
After sitting out for most of November, Wolf said he will start getting ready for the National Amateur Championship Finals, which start December 26 in Washington, D.C. He would also bring another big tournament on the East Coast.
Once those tournaments are completed,
he will prepare for KU's indoor season,
which begins in January with home
matches against Arkansas and Illinois.
KU will be going to the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association Regional Qualifying Tournament in Oklahoma City next weekend without Wolf. That means he won't be able to play in the indoor national championships, but he will still be able to play at the outdoor national championships in the spring
"When I come back, I should be starting high in the poll," Wolf said. "If I sit out now, I will be able to play better and more confidently. With my shoulder the way it is, I have been playing up and down. It's frustrating."
"Right now, my left shoulder is about half as strong as my right shoulder. If play anymore it, would really be better, with play for KU until next semester."
Competing against KU this weekend will be Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Wichita State, Southern Illinois-Carbondale, Indiana, Southwest Missouri State, Illinois State, Murray State and Illinois State.

Blues down Whites in Hutchinson
The Blue team defeated the Whites 96-89 at a men's basketball team scrimmage in Hutchinson last night before a crowd estimated at 4,000.
The Blues led 38.82 with two minutes, 20 seconds left in the game, but a field goal and two free throws by Tad Boyle and two free throws by another player by the Whites to within one with 29 seconds left.
Calvin Thompson iced the game with two free throws at the four-second mark. Ron Kellogg hit a 30-footer at the buzzer for the Whites, making the final score 90-89.
Thompson and Greg Dredling bleed the Blues with 21 points each. Cedric Hunter added 17, 16 and 10.
had 10 and Chris Pieper had nine. Dreiling
a game-high 13 rebounds.
Samming, Kellogg, and Boyle had 19 points each for the Whites. Rounding out the scoring were Mark Turgueen with 14 points, Rodney Hull with 14 and Scoter Barry with two.
"I was really happy with the way we played," head coach Larry Brown said after the scrimmage. "We're getting in better shape. I was really pleased with the turnout."
KU's final tune-up for its season-opening exhibition game against the China national team next Friday will be the annual Crismon and Blue game. The Crismon and Blue game will start at 5:45 p.m. Saturday, after the KU-Nebraska football game.
KU teams are lacking in number of seniors
What does a senior on the KU football and basketball teams have in common with the Virginia big-eared bat, the salt marsh or the del Marina Peninsula fox squirrel?
They're all on the endangered species list. This year, Tad Boyle is the only senior on the men's basketball team, and Mary Myers is the only senior on the women's team.
GREG DAMMAN

Harvey Fields, Pat Kelley, Dodge Schwartz-
burg, Pat Connor, Quintin Schonewise and
Bennie Simecka are the only seniors on the
football team.
The number of seniors on the basketball team is not particularly alarming. After all, in 1981 Boyle and Larry Williams, a 23-year-old forward from Detroit, Mich., were the only freshman on the KU basketball team.
HOWEVER, THE FACT that the football team has just six seniors is alarming. Especially when you consider that the team faces Nebraska, builds a team with 34 seniors.
Obviously, somewhere down the line KU lost a large number of football players. Let's take a look back at the 1981 recruiting class of former KU coach Dam Fambrough.
Five of those sixteen players, Dino Bell, Sylvester Byrd, John Loncar, Kurt Mueller
In 1881, 24 players were recruited to play football at Kansas. Of those 25 players, eight were junior college transfers, leaving 16 freshmen.
Nine of those players, Cedric Alexander, Jeffrey Brown, Andy Fenlon, Mike Frederick, Bryan Hearlson, Rod Madden, Irony Sauer, Eric Seurer. Either quit the team or transferred
and Paul Swenson, rebuilt a year and are listed as juniors this year. That leaves eleven players from the 1981 recruiting class.
THAT LEAVES TWO players, fallback Harvey Fields and offensive tackle Quentin Schonewise, as the only seniors on this year's team who were recruited in 1801.
Of the other four seniors this year, Connor transferred from Nebraska, Kelley was a junior college transfer and Simecka and Wheeler were recruited in 1980 and redshirted a year.
The reasons for the mass exodus of football players from the class of 1981 are hard to determine. Some, such as Madden, quit the team to concentrate on school work.
It's possible that other players quit because they were unhappy with the amount of playing time they received. The coaching change from Fambrough, who recruited the class of 1981 to fit his needs, to Mike Gottried, who uses vastly different types of offensive and defensive alignments, could also have contributed to the loss of players.
Kansas is currently in fourth place in the Big Eight Conference, four places above its predicted finish of eighth. The Jayhawks 3:2 record in the conference is a tribute to the intense play of the team, and the coaching of Mike Gottfried.
If Nebraska or Oklahoma State does not win the national championship, Goffried should be a shoo-in for Big Eight Coach of the Year. He has taken a team without depth and expoises it to a major upset of Oklahoma and the conference placement much higher than predicted.

A victory in one of its final two games could make this year's KU football team the
