Initiative takes KU tennis star to Wimbledon
By MIKE FITZGERALD Sports Reporte
Sports Reporter
Carlos Goffi, Paulo Saulo, Brazil, senior,
senior coach at the soccer team, tennis player, is the kind of person who has and admires initiative. Someone's initiative started him in tennis and his own initiative started him in baseball.
A result of Goffi's initiative was a trip this past summer to Wimbledon, England, for the Wimbledon tennis championships. Although he didn't actually participate in the championships, just getting to the preliminaries was an honor, to Goffi.
"This was my main goal this summer," he said on Sunday, "to play in the biggest tennis tournament."
"Wimbledon is a mystic tournament. It has so much tradition that it was an honor to win."
Goffi, now a professional, said the top 50
Jaynes No.3 for K.C.Chiefs
From the Associated Press
Former University of Kansas quarterback David Jaynes clearly stepped into the No. 3 quarterback post with the Kansas City Chiefs as the Chains made several moves involving veteran quarterbacks yesterday.
Dean Carlson, the Chiefs' No. 7 draft choice in 1972 and a former Iowa State quarterback, was traced to the Green Bay Packers for an undisclosed 1976 draft nick.
Carlson been on the Chiefs roster for two years, but had never played in a regular season game. He played in only one series in a pre-season game this year.
The roster changes left Jaynes, who was the Chiefs' 3.0 draft pick this season, as the third-story quarterback behind Lenny Dawson and Mike Livingston.
Later in the day, the Chiefs placed veteran quarterback Pete Beardon on waivers. He was later signed by the Portland Storm of the World Football League.
The Chiefs cut former KU center Mike McDaniel, as all the National Football League (NFL) teams trimmed their rosters to 47 players.
The NFI, announced that this would be the final roster cut before the season's opening games Sunday. The new 47-man active roster is up from last year's limit of 40 players for the NFI. This signifies the end of the traditional last squads, at least for this year.
players in the world were invited to play at Wimbledon along with nearly 400 other entrants. Then 50 were accepted after they received four rounds of both singles and doubles.
Goffi, who represented Brazil, made it into the third round before being defeated. So far that sounds relatively easy. All you have to do is to Wimbled, win three rounds and you're in. But it's not quite that simple.
Goffi said you had to be invited just to play in the qualifying rounds. He said that only 10 to 20 tennis players were invited from the United States and that he was one of only two players to be invited from Brazil.
The actual process of playing at Wimbledon started about one month before the meet. Goffi had to send his complete tennis record to the Brazilian Association. There he decided that Goffi played well enough to win the first round and his record to the Wimbledon committee.
At Wimbledon they decided that Goffi played well enough to enter the tournament
"There's only one thing considered in that meet," he said. "That's what you've done before. If you don't have a good record, then there's no way you're going to get in."
After Wimbledon, Goffi toured Europe and played teams with some of the best playmakers in history.
"In Europe, the tennis is ridiculous," he said. "There may be tournaments in four towns in the same week. You can enter two at the same time and play in both."
Goffi went to the Horlsom Tournament in
Denmark, which he described as a big international tournament, but he lost in the
He then went to the Baastad Tournament, another international match in Denmark, and lost in the first round to Manuel Orantes of Spain.
Goffi finished the summer by playing in play Switzerland and two tournaments played in Geneva.
“It’s not like traveling around Europe with a backpack. You can’t travel all night and then expect to win the next day. You’ve got to watch your health.”
Goff said the money was good on the tour and a person could easily make a living
is Goffi doing back at KU! In December, he will graduate with a degree in navalweapon
"It's fun, but you've got to really be careful or said. 'You've got to schedule a meeting.'"
"I've found out that anything I do will be connected with tennis," he said. "I've been playing every day since I was five, so I'll get a job as a pro or in tennis clothing.
Last summer Goffi acquired several ringle benefits after he won a tournament in La Boulade, France. The owner of Lacoste was named the winner of the tournament and spoke to him afterwards.
Goffi signed an advertising contract with the company and now gets all his tennis tickets to play in a tournament possibly in the next couple of years he could get a monetary contract to advertise the event.
"Psychology gives me knowledge and this knowledge I've gotten at KU should help me in anything I do. I really don't plan to work in psychology."
Jaybowl Fall Bowling League DEADLINE!!! HURRY
Right now. Goffi plans to work in tennis-
or off the court. And he would recom-
mend them.
"I would encourage any kid to play ten-
nants as an individual's sport,
where your decisions matter."
REVISED LEAGUE SCHEDULE
"It's much more of an individual sport than anything else. And, being an individual sport, our arms are open to anywhere. You meet lots of important people, all kinds, and go all places."
$300 every week, and hotel and travel expenses were paid for by the tournament. He said money was won by rounds; for every round, he received a certain amount of money.
He said he could have made as much as

"It can be up and down thing," he said.
"One week you can live like you owned all the oil in the Middle East and the next week you'll be riding second-class trains."
More position changes on the University of Kansas football team were implemented as Bruce Adams was moved from light end to center. Don Fambrough announced yesterday.
Ken Sawthoff, the other offensive end, will both fight tight end and wide receiver, depending on their skill.
Fambrough also said that Bill Campfield, freshman running back, would definitely miss the opening game Sept. 14 at Washington State.
Fambrough said he knew little about the Washington State team except for what it had done in the past. He said that what he did in the past was to practice films the teams had exchanged.
