Coach measures success by improvement
By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan sports staff
Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf said yesterday that he judged his swimmer's success on improvement, not on their win-loss record.
By either of those standards, Tammy Pease has had a successful career at Kansas.
Pease, a senior from Bartlesville, Okla., is an 11-time collegiate All-American with nine Big Eight conference titles in three years. Last season she received All-America honors in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle, and 200 medley and freeflexes.
In the Big Eight Championships last spring, she won the 100 freestyle in 23.78 seconds and finished second in the 50 freestyle and 200 breaststroke.
In the National Collegiate Athletic Association championships, she finished sixth in the 50 freestyle, 12th in the 100 freestyle, and 15th in the 100 breaststroke.
Please also competed in the Olympic swim trials in 1984 and finished 14th in the 100 breaststroke and 37th in the 100 freestyle.
"Tammy knows what it takes," Kempf said. "She has the experience and knows how and when to swim fast. I think she is right on target to improve upon last year."
To improve on those credentials, Please will have her work cut out for her, but Kempf said he expected her
to add to her list of accomplishments this year.
Improving on last year won't mean rewriting the KU record book, because Pease already owns it. She has four individual records, the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke and the 100 Individual Medley.
She also is a part of four record-holding relay teams. Only swimmer Tammy Thomas, who was inducted into the KU Sports Hall of Fame in 1983, can claim as many records.
Pease said she wanted to swim at a large university, and she chose Kansas because it had a good swim program and offered a degree in architectural engineering. She has since changed her major to math.
Part of the success was the 10 consecutive Big Eight Championships the Jayhawks have won. That streak was snapped last year by Nebraska, and Pease said she wanted to help bring the title back to Kansas.
"I've been on the team when we've won and when we've lost, and it's a lot of it," she said.
Pease and the rest of the Jayhawks will get a look at what it will take to win this year when Kansas holds the
Big Eight Invitational Friday and Saturday at the Robinson Natatorium.
The women's team will swim against Iowa State, Nebraska and Missouri, and the men will swim against three teams plus Drury and Southwest Missouri State. The diving competition begins at 2 p.m. Friday and the swimming events start at 6 p.m.
"I'm looking forward to the meet because we will see what Nebraska and these other teams have this year." Pease said.
Kempf said the meet would be used to see how Kansas measured up with other teams.

Bowling a serious matter for KU team
KU team members said yesterday that anyone who thought bowling was
By Heather Fritz
When most people think of bowling, they imagine going down to the local alley, having a few drinks and bowling a couple of games in funny-looking shoes.
Of the Kansan sports staff
But for some people, bowling is a serious matter. For them, bowling 50-75 games a week is commonplace, and they often take as seriously as UK basketball.
The Kansas bowling team is made up of that type of people. The 18-person team will host the Mid-States Bowling Championships this weekend at Royal Crest Lanes in Lawrence
for non-athletes should watch the competition this weekend.
"At this level, the perception that bowlers are unathletic is inaccurate," said Kansas coach Mike Fine. "A lot of the bowlers here were on high school varsity teams. It takes very little ability to come in and bowl once a week and carry a 120 average."
Fine said several of the men's team members played high school baseball and ran track, and several women played volleyball.
"There's a lot more to it than throwing the ball down there and knocking down pins," said Tim DeMars, who played golf and basketball and ran cross country in high school.
Fine said that aside from athletic
skills such as strength, hand-eye coordination and timing, the mental aspect of bowling was important.
Wes Walcott, Kansas' top bowler, said, "You've got to know how to read the lanes and place your shot and you have to know how to adjust for the oil on the lanes."
"A lot of non-bowlers underestimate the ability needed to be a true bowler," he said. "You have to be able to master the mental game. Concentration is a key, too. There's a lot of noise, and people are walking around."
Most team members began bowling in junior leagues after their families started them in the sport, but some of these reasons ranking from talent to size.
"Bowling was something I really
enjoyed because my family was good at it, and I wanted to be competitive with my brothers," said Walcott.
"When I was little, I wanted to play professional basketball, but I only grew to be 5-foot-10," he said.
DeMars agreed.
"I was better than most kids," he said. "I could run a decent mile, but I was never the best. Around Trenton (New Jersey, his hometown), I was the second or third best bowler."
Steve Peoples said he had kept at the sport because of his ability.
Fine said. "Bowling is more than just a way to spend time. It's something that the people on the team can continue to compete in. It's a lifetime sport."
Kansas City signs former KU player
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bud Stallworth, an All-American at Kansas whose NBA career was cut short by injuries suffered in an automobile accident, has begun a comeback with the Kansas City Sizzlers of the Continental Basketball Association.
"One more chance, I needed one more," said the 35-year-old Stallworth after signing with the Sizzlers yesterday. "I want to see what I can do; I'm doing this for myself. What people say won't bother me. I have to get it out of my system. I liked being in the NBA."
Stallworth, drafted seventh in 1972 by the Seattle SuperSonics, was hurt in 1976 while playing with the New Orleans Jazz. He was among five players in a cab traveling to a game in Phoenix with the Suns when the cab collided with another car. Stallworth suffered a herniated disk.
"A physician told me I needed surgery for my back, but I passed it up," Stallworth said. "I had friends who had that type of surgery and it took a while, years. I did nothing. The last five years, my back hasn't bothered me."
Stallworth says he has kept himself in shape, and is working out in Lawrence to get in shape for the Sizzlers camp.
"I think I've taken care of my body," the 6-foot-5 Stallworth said. "For the last eight years, there has been no wear and tear on it. I think I can compete.
"I know it won't be easy to get into game shape, but I'm getting some help from the KU coaches. I have to push my body."
"I went to Seattle . . . and I did pretty well," Stallworth said. "Then Magic Johnson, Buck Williams, Isiah Thomas, Mark Aguirre and some other NBA players came to Hawaii for some games late in July and early August and I played. I felt I was competing."
Stallworth said his desire to return to professional basketball came after he had played in an old-timers game in Seattle and in pickup games with NBA players in Hawaii, where he is promotional director for Center Art Gallery of Hawaii and co-owner of an executive tour business in Maui.
Sizzlers coach Bill Ficke said Stallworth has been given no guarantees.
Stallworth was drafted in the first round after leading the Big Eight in scoring with 25.3 points a game and being named Big Eight player of the year. Stallworth averaged 7.7 points a game in $4\frac{1}{2}$ National Basketball Association seasons with Seattle and New Orleans.
"Bud's a great shooter who knows all the tricks of the trade." Ficke said. "He's not typical of the 35-year-old pro player because he hasn't been banging bodies in the NBA. He's kept himself in good shape."
Stallworth said he began playing basketball again about four years ago.
Andujar considers appealing penalty
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Joaquin Andujar's agent says he may appeal the penalty for Andujar's antics in the final game of the World Series, and Manager White Herzog says he's stick by the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher.
"I'm sure we'll want to evaluate what's on going," agent David Hendricks said yesterday regarding the 10-day suspension, effective at the opening of next season, and the $500 fine. "It's very harsh."
Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth met out the penalty, citing Andujar's outburst during a fifth-inning dispute with plate umpire Don Denkinger, followed by the pitcher's explosion in the visiting team's clubhouse.
Andujar argued two successive ball calls by Denkinger, and after the second pitch, he charged the umpire, slightly bumping him, and had to be restrained by teammates.
"Such actions are damaging to the game and cannot be tolerated."
An appeal is "his prerogative." Joe McDuff, the spokesman. Chuck Adams.
"Some people have expressed amazement that the commissioner fined him only $500." Adams said. "But there's a limit imposed on him, and the commissioner fined him to the limit."
Herzog, even before Ueberrath's penalty was announced, indicated that he wanted Andujar back next year although he did not condone the player's actions.
Team owners meet to decide on life of USFL
Herrzog also was ejected from Game 7, one pitch before Andujar.
After leaving the field at Royals Stadium in Kansas City, Andujar reportedly destroyed a toilet and a sink with a bat in the visiting team's clubhouse.
"I guess he won't start the second or third game now." Herzog said of the impact on St. Louis' plans for next year created by Ueberborh's announcement. "It's good. Maybe he'll learn something."
Denkinger, who ejected Andujar, said he was pleased with the fine.
"From the Cardinals' standpoint, it was a very disgraceful thing to do to the game of baseball." Denkinger said.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The United States Football League owners will open their fall meetings today in hopes of taking necessary to convince the public the league will survive until the 1986 season.

Commissioner Harry Usher and New Jersey owner Donald Trump, one of the league's most outspoken and influential owners, favor cutting the USFL to eight or 10 teams. At most, 12 teams are expected.
"This meeting has the potential to have a little more definitive news," USFIL spokesman Bob Rose said. "They'd like to identify what teams will be competing, and what teams won't."
The USFL had 14 teams last year, along with inactive Chicago. The Chicago franchise, owned by White Sox owner Eddie Elnhorn, will be represented at the meeting.
A merger between New Jersey and Houston was announced during the summer, although the consolidation technically has not been completed. Steve Ross bought the Houston franchise with the stipulation that at least

The reimbursed were a result of bonuses paid after the Metro Condone according to university procedures. But it's something the board felt it had to act on."
Klein said that the action was taken at the regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Athletic Association Board.
Klein said the $200 to $2,000 bonuses for the tournament, played at Louisville, should have been handled differently. Olsen's multi-year contract was also reduced to a one-year pact as part of the reprimand.
"It was an internal violation of procedures," he said. "There were no conference rules broken, or any breach of code. It was just an internal violation."

United Press International
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The world's No. 1 player, Chris Evert Lloyd, leads the heavily favored United States team against Britain tonight in the annual Wightman Cup tennis competition between the two nations.
Ubatenbe in 24 singles matches in this competition, Evert Lloyd will be playing in a U.S. record 13th year as captain of a team made up of Pam Shriver, ranked No. 3 in the world, Kathy Rumali, No. 5 in the world, Ilya Ilshenko, specialists Beyazig Nagilesen and Anne White

A total of seven matches will be played in the space of three days, including five singles and two
doubles, on a Supreme Court surface at the William and Mary Hall on the campus of the College of William and Mary.
The United States leads the series 46-10, and dropped a mere six matches in winning the last six years. Last year the Americans won 5-2 at London's Royal Albert Hall.
“Up until a couple of years ago it was more of a close contest,” said Evert Lloyd, 30, who regained her top ranking last weekend by winning a tournament in Brighton, England. “The last few years it has been one-sided.”
Martina Navratilova made her Wightman Cup debut for the United States here two years ago, but has not played since.
The English team captain is 40-year-old Virginia Wade, who is playing in a Wightman Cup record 21st consecutive year. But Wade will see action only in one doubles match, giving way to Annabel Croft, Durie and Hobbs.
