Thies looks to spring competition
By PATTI ARNOLD
The yearlong drought is almost over for KU tennis player David Thies.
Now at his third university in three years, Theis is Ineligible to play tennis until the spring semester. He is practicing and playing tennis during summer but is eager for the spring season to start.
"Some teams just want to play our best people now and don't care if its exhibition or not, he said." But there are some teams that don't match that score and match that doesn't count in the team score."
Thies went to Clemson University,
Clemson, S.C.. after he graduated from
Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, but left the next year.
"It just wasn't working out at Glennon. There were some personal conflicts with the coach there," he said.
From Clemson, he went to East Texas State University, but left after a month there. He enrolled at KU for the second semester last year. Under NCAA transfer rules, he was granted an all-time. He does have two years of eligibility left after this year.

It was tough to go through negligency, he said. "I lost track of my goals this summer, and last spring hurt me. The teacher was very strict in the practice and to see what other teams look like."
"I'm a lot more enthusiastic about this season. I enjoy working now that I'm working toward something. It helps a lot."
Thies is working toward winning both the Big Eight singles and doubles titles this year and qualifying for the NCAA tournament.
There's not that much to stop me from
"We have a strong team. There's a lot of intra-team competition. I think that's good. Everybody has to work hard to keep their positions.
"We could win the Big Eight if everybody played well. It would come down to the doubles play. That is an important part of our overall success.
"In doubles, your partner has to complement you and you have to complement him. If he makes you look good and you make him look like a fun man. Then it's a thinking man's game."
A professional career is definitely on Thies' mind.
"I've thought about it a lot. There are a lot of good players, but I'm planning on playing for a short period of time. I'll give it a go, and I will play the summer after I turn with college.
Thies said he planned to stay at KU until his two years of eligibility were over.
"I don't see any reason not to stay here. I just hope it doesn't take me that long to win the Big Eight. Our last two Big Eight games were in years, but I don't want to wait that long."
Spikers to play WSU,NU tonight
The KU volleyball team will face one of its toughest tests of the season tonight as the squand travels to Wichita to face Iowa State. The university and the University of Nebraska.
pairs of victories tonight would help KU, which lost to Nebraska in Lincoln last week, in its quest for a berth in the regional playoffs.
Coach Bob Lockwood said that although KU was playing fine volleyball, the Jaya hawks might have a tough time in Wichita.
Lockwood said that one of the team's major weaknesses was its ineffective use of the "bump," or the return of serve.
If we can start returning the server consistently, "locked wood," we will be able to set up our power offense. Once we have it worked, even Nebraska is able to store us.
Another problem the team has, Lockwood said, is not physical but mental.

"The girls need to get a little more experience and start believing in themselves, gaining that mental edge, which we have been doing all this year, then we will really start to show our colors—hopefully we'll be the Big Eight tournament later this month."
