'Hawks scheduled for morning flight
The football team was scheduled to leave Lawrence early this morning by bus for Kansas City on Monday and an 8 a.m. flight to Honolulu.
The Jayhawks open their 1985 season Saturday against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
Yesterday afternoon, the team completed a three-hour workout at Memorial Stadium, the last drills before the trip.
Tight end Mark Parks, who had been sidelined with a knee injury, suited up and practiced. When Parks strained his knee last week, head coach Mike Gottfried said he was prepared to be out for two to three weeks.
Before practice yesterday, Gottfried said the coaches would take a look at Parks to see whether he would be able to make the trip. After practice, Gottfried said he thought Parks would go to Hawaii.
Gottfried said yesterday evening that he did not have any official information on possible academic casualties.
Richard Lee, assistant athletic director for support services, said he could not yet comment on academic eligibilities.
McEnroe nears loss
NEW YORK — Defending champion John McEnroe tettered on the brink of elimination in the first round of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships yesterday before capturing a fifth-set tiebreaker to edge Israel's Shlomo Glickstein 6-1, 6-7, 2-6, 3-7 and advance into the second round.
With the victory, McEnroe narrowly escaped becoming the first No. 1 seed since 1971 and only the sixth in the 104-year history of America's premier tennis event to fall in the opening round. The victory kept alive his bid for a fifth title in seven years at the National Tennis Center.

Imaginary volley aids tennis team
By Heather Fritz Of the Kansan sports staff
Rv Heather Fritz
If anyone had happened to wander by the Allen Field House tennis courts yesterday afternoon, he would have thought that the tennis team had gone berserk.
There they were, men and women alike, lunging after imaginary vollevs with imaginary rackets.
But it was all a form of conditioning. The team is getting ready to make a run for the conference championship — a championship that the top two men's players want very much,
Senior Mike Center said, "You never know, but as of right now it looks as if this will be it for tennis. This is my last year and I'd really like to win the conference and go to the NCAAs as a team."
The team's top returning player, junior Mike Wolf, said, "First and foremost my goal would be for the team to win the Big Eight — girls and men."
Center said that the goal was within reach
"We have a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of hard workers." Center said.
Whether the team develops into a championship team remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that Wolf and Center have the ability to go places in both singles and doubles.
"We're going to develop a lot this season."
Paired as Kansas' No. 1 doubles team last season, Wolf and Center were undefeated in seven matches and won the Big Eight Conference championship. In singles matches, Wolf went undefeated and won No. 1 singles. Center, who also went undefeated, took first in No. 2 singles in the conference.
"We'll be in the running to be All-American," said Wolf of the partnership. "We beat a top-ten team last year. We just haven't closed out a lot of matches. When it gets down to it, in certain matches we haven't seized the opportunity — that's been a problem of mine."
Wolf expects to do well this year in singles, too.
"For myself, I would like to be an All-American. I expect to play All-American caliber tennis this year." he said.
Mike Wolf follows through on a backhand shot at the tennis courts behind Alien Field House. Wolf, who was practicing yesterday afternoon, is the returning Big Eight Conference singles champion.
Pattin pitching for winning attitudes
By Frank Hansel
Of the Kansan sports staff
Combine some potentially talented recruits with 13 returning ballplayers, and the University of Kansas has the possibility of fielding one of its better baseball teams in recent years, head coach Marty Pattin said Monday.
replacement at catcher, second and first base.
The Jayhawks will be using their 20-game fall schedule, which begins Sept. 15 at home, against Kansas City Kansas Community College, to work not only on fundamentals but on developing a winning team attitude.
Last season, the KU pitching staff had a team 8.13 earned run average, and walked 290 batters in 362 innings
"You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't develop it, then you will not win." Pattin said of the team that finished 19-30-1 last year. "So I will be demanding an awful lot out of these kids."
The biggest area that KU will need to improve in is the pitching staff. The Jayhawks also need to find
The Jayhawks list twelve pitches on their pre-season depth chart, including five newcomers. The only returning senior is John Heiney, who posted a 2/6 record with a 6.39 earned run average last year.
The catching position is wide open right now, Pattin said. Four ballplayers will be competing to fill the shoes of Rob Thomson, who led the Jayhawks in hitting last year at .389.
The Jayhawks will also have the luxury of a relief specialist in the bullpen. Senior Joe Benivitos joins the Jayhawk pitching staff after transferring from Lubbock Christian College, Lubbock, Texas. Pattin said Benivitos was a hard-throwing pitcher who could throw every day if necessary.
and had a .961 fielding percentage, while catching in most of his 50 starts.
First and second base will also find new faces in the Jayhawk line-up with the departure of Dan Christie, Phil Doherty and Chuck Christenson.
Competing for playing time at first will be John Byrn, a transfer from Butler County Community College. P.J. Riley, Edwardsville freshman and Tom Meyer.
The battle at second base will include Geno Nebitt, a transfer from Bail State University and Mitch transfer from Emporia State University.
KU also lost its starting third baseman from last year in John Glem, but Pattin said Robert Peters, who split time at third, catcher and the outfield, would probably be used mainly at third base.
Shortstop will be manned again this year by Gary Lang with Rob Presko also seeing some action.
The outfield is where Pattin has the most depth in returning ballplayers. Coming back to the team are Hugh Stanfield, who hit .333 with 26 runs batted in, John Hart, Mike Ingram and Steve Meyer.
Yount reached on an error by Brett Asromo scored. Two outs later, Riles lined a two-run single that made the score 6-2. Yount doubled home Milwaukee's final two runs in the fifth to chase Jackson, 12-8.
The Royals took a 3-0 lead in the first against Jaime Cocanover, 4-3, on a leadoff single by Willie Wilson, who stole second and scored on Hal McAfee's double. Frank White delivered an RBI single and Steve Balboni hit a run-scoring double.
Errors by losing pitcher Danny Jackson and third baseman George Brett helped Milwaukee score four unearned runs in the second innings. After Charlie Moore led off with a double and Ed Romero walked, Ready laid down a sacrifice bunt that Jackson threw away, allowing Moore to score.

Royals lose as Brewers rip 13 hits
The Brewers, who trailed 3-0 after the top of the first innning, scored twice in the bottom half of the inning. Consecutive singles by Randy Ready, Robin Yount and Cecil Cooper produced Milwaukee's first run, and a single by Riles loaded the bases before Carlos Ponce hit a sacrifice fly.
Balloni singled home a run in the sixth, and Brett doubled home a ninth-inning run off Bob Gibson, who earned his 10th save.
MILWAUKEE — Earnest Riles collected three singles and drove in two runs, pacing a 13-hit attack last night that led the Milwaukee Brewers past the Kansas City Royals 8-5.
