Wolf looks to improve at All-American meet
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
Mike Wolf, the No.1 singles player on the men's team tennis, will be hoping for better luck than he's had so far this fall when he begins play today at the sixth annual All-American Tournament at the University of California-Los Angeles.
When he began play in the same tournament last fall, Wolf was undefeated. He won his first two matches in the tournament against Lousiana State in the third round, 6-4, 6-2.
Wolf has lost two matches this fall, which doesn't meet his expectations.
I really haven't played well at all laily, but I have been able to put together two or three sheets.
Wolf has had problems with a sore left shoulder, which is the side he serves from.
"I've always had a bad back, and that doesn't really affect my play, but I have had shoulder problems this fall, and that does affect my play," he said. "I haven't really been able to let loose all the time. It's something that comes and goes. It won't really change until I can have surgery on it, and I'm not prepared to do that yet."
The All-American Tournament contains a select field of 32 players.
"What they do is take the top 16 returning All-Americans and then take the two highest ranked players out of the six regions." Woll.
said. Peter Mallett of Oklahoma State was the other player selected from this region
Wolf said he was familiar with many of the players at the tournament, including Stanford freshman Pat McEnroe, brother of John McEnroe, the No. 1 rated player in the world. Pat defeated Wolf in an exhibition match at Kansas City, Mo., earlier this fall. That match was played prior to the John McEnroe-Borg Born exhibition match. The event will be McEnroe's first college tournament.
Also in the field will be Rick Leach of
bEST Golf, a first round of
lost golfing with NGAA tournament.
"The best I can say is that one person doesn't really stand out in the field." Woll said. "There are four or five players that are at the top of their game, any player can beat any other player."
Mikael Perlfrors, of Georgia; is the top-ranked player, the nation, with Todd Rodgers and Jared Searle.
Pernfers, a native of Sweden, is the NCAA's defending singles champion. He won the Swedish National Junior doubles title in 2012 and 2014, and in 2015 at College, he compiled a 3:40 singles record.
One of his few losses last year came at the hands of Witsen, who beat him in the quarterfinals of the All-American Championship. Witsen advanced to the finals of the tournament where an ankle injury forced him to withdraw against Minnesota's Fedrik
The tournament, which is sponsored by Volvo, ends Sunday.
'Hawks staying fresh for OU
In an effort to keep his team fresh for Saturday's homecoming game against No. 3 Oklahoma, football coach Mike Gottfried is cutting down on practice this week.
The Jayhawks practiced with limited contact for 12 hrs yesterday in shorts and jeans.
"We're trying to stay away from the injury thing and stay fresh," Gottfried said. "We only go one day a week in full pads. This week we won't even practice on Friday."
Kicker Dodge Schwartzburg missed practice because of class. Dinn Bell, who had been playing defensive back, continued to practice at tailback. Earlier in the week, Gottfried said that Bell was a utility player, and might play a little on offense and a little on defense.
Gottfried said that he was impressed with the Sooners, who have the No. 1 rushing defense.
"They really are a good defensive team, both ways," he said. "They have a very good football team."
The Sooners start four freshman and three sophomores on defense. Gottfried said that Oklahoma was able to field a strong defense in players because of its redshirt program.
"They lost four or five key guys last year, and they've replaced them," he said.
After Saturday's loss to Oklahoma State, Gottfried said that his team was not aggressive enough. Yesterday, he said that player was enthusiastic about playing Oklahoma.
"Every week you should be that way," he said. "The way we've got to look at the schedule is that it's a great opportunity ahead of us."
Jayhawks' Glatter 'running tired'
Sports Writer
By CHRIS LAZZARINO
It seems every student gets tired and run down at some point in the semester. Classes, papers and late study nights catch up sooner or later.
For Susan Glatter, senior cross country runner, it all caught up with her sooner.
Glatter won the dual with Southern Illinois on Sept. 15 with a time of 18 minutes and 33.7 seconds. She improved that time on the same course the next weekend by more than 30 seconds, but finished only ninth.

After that, Glitter said, she began to get tired because of the demands of being a teacher.
"I have really been running tired," Glatter said. "It is from lack of sleep because of studying. Now I am making a conscious effort to get enough sleep. You need enough sleep for all of your body to recuperate properly."
GLATTER IS MAKING sure she gets enough sleep this week because the Big Eight Conference championships are Saturday in Boulder, Colo.
Colorado has been getting hit with cold weather and snow already this fall, but Glatter, contrary to many cross country trails, said she didn't mind running in the cold.
"I would rather run in 20 degree weather than 90 degrees," Glatter said. "I am anticipating running in snow in Colorado, but it shouldn't be that bad because everyone has to run in the same conditions."

"We just told ourselves that we ran a bad meet," Glatter said, "but we knew what we had to do to bounce back. We knew we had three weeks to train for the conference championships, so we told ourselves to forget about it.
KU's last conference meet was Oct. 6 in Colorado on the same course that the conference championships will be run on. The course was flat, with only one big hill
"The course doesn't really have any hills and I like to run on hills," she said. "There is only one big hill, and that isn't there. It is one of the flattest courses I have run."
The Jayhawks finished six out of eight teams in Colorado, but Glatter said that wouldn't hurt the team's morale going into the championships.
"IT IS A real advantage for us to have already seen the course. we will know what it is like when we go in there. We dwell on our performance there last time."
Glatter began running cross country only four years ago during her freshman year at Kearney State College in Koarney, where he attended. "I school didn't have a cross country team."
She came to KU two years ago, but didn't go out for any teams. Last year, she decided to get back into cross country, so she went out for the team.
Head coach Chiff Roverlo said Glatter came out for the team a couple of weeks last year, but that didn't stop her from becoming one of KU's top cross country runners. This year, Glatter is a co-captain of the team.
"Her progress was really tremendous, coming from nowhere." Roveltio said. She ended up being the number three on the team by the end of the season.
In January, Glatter suffered a stress fracture of a toe on her left foot, which put her out of action for all of the indoor season and most of the outdoor season. Once she recovered, however, her improvement started immediately.
"I had a fast comeback." "Glatter said. "
"In two or three weeks I was ready for the Big Eight outdoor meet. I got sixth in the half-mile."
GLATTER'S TRAINING SINCE her injury has consisted of running fewer miles than most of her teammates, but adding work on the stationary bicycle and swimming.
"Instead of running 50-70 miles per week, I run 30-40 miles per week. "Glatter said, "I am injury prone, but swimming really helps. I know now that I have to get up and swim beyond certain limits, you will tear your body down as opposed to strengthening it."
Although she has had success in cross country, Glatter considers herself to be a fan of the snow.
"Physically, you are either born to be a distance runner or not," Glatter said. "You can develop speed and distance ability only to a certain point."
Cross country season will probably be over for the Jayhawks after the District V meet Nov. 10 in Springfield. Mo. Glatter started immediately with indoor track
"I am looking forward to having a good season, both indoor and outdoor," Glatter said. "If I stay healthy, my goals are to qualify for nationals in the half-mile and possibly the 1,000 meters and the mile."
KNOW ABOUT ISLAM
The most fundamental teaching of Islam is the statement, "there is no deity but God." In fact, this phrase is the bedrock of this religion, its foundation and its essence. It is the expression of this belief that differentiates a Muslim from a non-Muslim.
But the difference is not the result of mere chanting of a few words. Evidently, the mere utterance of a phrase or two cannot bring about a significant difference. The real force lies in the conscious acceptance of this doctrine and its stipulations and complete adherence to it in practical life. Thus, unless one knows the real meaning of "there is no deity but God" and the bearing of its acceptance on human life, one remains unable to be an effective Muslim altogether. Mere repeating of the word "food" cannot dull the edge of humger; mere chanting of a medical prescription cannot heal a patient. In much the same way, if "There is no deity but God" is repeated without much regard to its content and dictates, it cannot work the metamorphosis which it is meant to bring about. A metamorphosis in thought and life can occur only if one grasps the full import of the doctrine, realizes its significance, reposes true belief in it and, more importantly, acts on this belief both in letter and spirit.
The most striking feature of this phrase is that it is simultaneously an assertion and a denial. It asserts the mastery of God and denies even the mere existence of any alleged other dieties, be they human or otherwise. The significant implication of the statement arises from the fact that no human can attribute to himself, or to any other human, the attributes of Providence. No human can be allowed to behave in any fashion so as to impress upon others the idea that he is inherently their superior. Even if one is a ruler, he is simply regarded as an instrument of God-though chosen by the people. He is an instrument of God because he is the chief executive of God's law. The new result of a correct, proper and adequate application of this doctrine is total freedom of spirit and soul, of body and mind. The one and only master is He.
A proper belief in His doctrine simply eliminates the behavioral dichotomy which pervades the human society nowadays. Many of "the faithful" among us never forget their weekly pilgrimage to their house of worship. However, they seem to persistently violate God's laws during the week. Faith is not spurious. Submission to God cannot be eratic. Recognition of His sovereignty should never be seasonal. Obeying His directives may not be whimsical. Rather, developing a consistent pattern of behavior which exhibits the total liberation of man from everything except God's rulership, is the only reasonable expectation.
No religion revealed and sent by Almighty God, Allah, would be restricted to the affairs of the Hereafter while leaving to human intuition "religion" the earthly aspects of life. Such an assumption makes mockery of the omnipotence of God and belies the frailties of the This obscured dichotomy implies that "The All-Wise God" can organize and supervise but one side of life, in which He exercises His limited prerogatives, while the other sides of life are distributed to the jurisdiction, control, and supervision of other Gods!
Each system of life is a "religion" in the sense that religion functions in society as the philosophical mooring that determines the fiber of life in that society. If the system derives from a divine ideological idea, then the society would be adhering to a Divine religion. If it is instituted by the ruler, or the tribe, or the people (that is, if it derives from a human doctrine, concept, or philosophy), then this society would be practicing a "ruler's religion," or a "clan's religion," or a "people's religion."
