Golf team places 2nd at tourney
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
The women's golf team finished second out of eight teams, its best finish of the season, at the Kansas Women's Invitational yesterday at the Alvair golf courses.
The Jayhawks were in first place by five strokes after Monday's 27 holes of play, but Missouri shipped in front of KU yesterday and won the tournament with a score of 660.
Trailing the Tigers in the team standings were KU, 665; Northern Iowa, 667; Nebraska, 676; Kansas State, 700; Stephens College, 707; Wichita State, 718; and Southwest Missouri State, 748.
Participants were originally scheduled to play 27 holes yesterday at the Jayhawk and Quail Creek courses, but play was suspended after nine holes because of wet grounds.
Tina Gnewchw ed the Jayhawk golfers with rounds of 77 and 80 for a total score of 161, good for a third place overall finish. Pauline Kelly of Northern Iowa finished first overall with a score of 155.
Trailing Gnewch for the Jayhawks were Marilee Scheid, 78-85, 163. Sue Pekar, 84-85, 169. Maureen Kelly, 84-89, 173; and Brenda Sanders, 100-88, 188. Scheid was tied for best overall score after the first round of play. She finished tied for fifth.
"I didn't have any birds, but I played all right." Gnewch said yesterday. "It was pretty good, considering what it was like out there. It was wet all over and the wind was so strong a ball hard when the wind is blowing hard. It affects my game because it makes the hole longer."
Women's coach Kent Weiser said, "Playing only nine holes was unfortunate, but we didn't lose because of it.
"It would have been a shame to end the season on this. We are glad we have more to do."
The women's team wraps up its秋 season this weekend at the Missouri Invitational in Columbia. Nine teams will be entered.

Despite departure of Jones, KU fine for big-city recruits
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
A freshman men's basketball recruit left the University of Kansas earlier this month because he "couldn't take the cultural differences." between Lawrence and his hometown of Washington, D.C.
But Tyrone Jones' dissatisfaction with KU is not typical of most student athletes, coaches and student athletes said yesterday. Jones trans- to the University of Nevada Las Vegas earlier this month.
Larry Brown, head men's basketball coach, said he thought that Jones had used cultural differences as an excuse and that he really had left for other reasons. Brown did not say those other reasons might have been.
"No kids have complained to me about the social life here," he said. "He's the only one to be upset with the environment. I never said come to the University of Kansas because it has a great social life and tight life."
Gary Kempf, head men's and women's swimming coach, said he'd never had problems with athletes who are not finding the University too isolated.
"There's been no problem," he
said, "because when you get right down to it, Kansas is not in the middle of nowhere."
Mike Gottfried, head football coach, said he won't aware of any of his players being dissatisfied with the University environment.
Mike Norseth, junior quarterback from LaCresca, Calif., said, "The pace is a little slower, but the people are about the same."
Gottfried said that each athlete had to adjust in his or her own way and that all students experienced home-sickness at some time.
Brown said, "Every kid on any campus has to be horsecams at first. That doesn't cause them to leave it, but they have to buckle down and get into it."
He said he thought athletes had an easier time adjusting to college life than non-athletes because the athletes instantly had a group of friends in their teammates and a supportive coaching staff.
Brown and Gottfried said the coaching staff and teammates helped athletes through the first few trying weeks of the school year.
Gottfried said, "The job is also for the coach to be there, to sit and talk to them, to help them through that period of time."
Men's basketball players can participate in the Jayhawk Parents program, in which a Lawrence
family adopts a player and opens its home to him. Brown said. Coaches also make themselves available to players as much as possible.
Brown said he did not use a hard-sell tactic when he recruited students from metropolitan areas outside Kansas. But he said that most non-Midwestern students did not know much about KU.
He said he had to explain KU's academic reputation and basketball tradition. Most of the athletes, because of their age, were only aware of them that have been involved during the last five or six years, he said.
Bringing potential athletes to campus is an important step in persuading them to attend the South Pacific Regional Training Centre. Presidential head team coach
Brown said, "The beauty of the campus speaks for itself."
Perelman said that visiting the campus definitely helped influence athletes to come to KU.
He said that when he was recruiting athletes who were not from Kansas, it was important to contact them and had some tie to the University.
"Otherwise just recruiting to Kansas for tennis can be difficult because the great players naturally are attracted to the warmer weather." Pereiman said.
Huskies vault to No.1
By United Press International
NEW YORK—Given the track record of No. 1 teams this year and Washington's past experience as No. 1, it's no wonder Huskers coach Don James is leery of his team's ascent to the top.

The Huskies received 24 of 41 first-place votes and 570 total points after improving to 6-0.
Oklahoma held second with $31_{2}$ first-place votes and 537 $^{2}$ points. Texas slipped from first to third with $31_{2}$ first-place votes and 530 $^{2}$ points. One coach split his first-place vote between Texas and Oklahoma.
No. 4 Boston College (two first-place votes). No. 5 Brigham Young (one first-place vote). No. 6 Nebraska and No. 7 Southern Methodist all held their ranking from last week. Ohio State picked up the final first-place vote and 291 points for eighth.
