Tennis coach aims high
By MIKE FITZGERALD Sports Reporter
The University of Kansas tennis team should improve on its 1974 third-place Big Eight finish, according to Kirkland Gates, new head tennis coach.
Gates, 25, who also is the head pro and a part-ofer of the Lawrence Revue Club, was appointed tennis coach July 24. He replaced Mike Howard, who resigned to concentrate on his duties as ticket manager for the KU athletic department.
"This year we'll be contending for first place," Gates said yesterday. "We have an equal or better chance to finish at the top this year."
Practice begins next week. The details of the schedule haven't been worked out yet, but Gates said the first meet would be in mid-September.
Gates said he would rely on the abilities of two returning players, as well as those of the opposing team.
Bill Tompkins, Fort Lauderdale sophomore, and Bill Clarke, Shawnee Mission sophomore, return from last year's team. Tompkins, whose singles game was described by Gates as having the best ground-stroke game of anyone on the team.
Clarke, known for his devastating cannon-like serve, had a 27-5 records last year. During the summer, Clarke placed second in the Missouri Valley Men's Tournament and in the process defeated the number one and number three seeds.
Royals tally 1 win;1 loss
From the Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Kansas City Royals split a two-tight doubleheader with the Cleveland Indians last night and Oakland A's in the American League win.
Two run-scorning beats by Rico Carty helped the Indians post a 12-8 victory over the Browns.
Royals pitcher Steve Busy, who was bidding to become the major leagues' second 20-game winner of the season, was named first in runs and seven runs in the first four innings.
The second game was suspended by rain in the fifth inning with the Royals leading 11-0. They went on to win 13-2 after the game was resumed.

K-State to lose potential starter
MANHATTAN, Kan.—Bernard Robinson, potentially a starting guard on the Kansas State University basketball team this year, is transferring to another school.
KSDB-FM, a campus broadcasting station, said a source in the K-State athletic department had confirmed the transfer, but would not confirm the station's report that Robinson was going to Washburn University in Topeka.
Robinson, who is 6-four-3, is from Atlanta and would have been a junior year at K-State. He could not play last year because of injuries. He did play as action as a backup guard two years ago.
Dean Harris, who was to have been the Wildcat's only restarting starter this year after an outstanding season as a freshman, was killed in an automobile accident last spring on his way home to Edwardsville, Ill. Dou Shou, a senior forward, appeared to play basketball despite injuries in a highway accident in Oklahoma this week.
Baseball tryouts set
Any student interested in trying out for the University of Kansas baseball team should report at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow to the East Balmcay seating area of Allen Field full details of the trout sessions will be given then by head coach Floyd Temple.
John Farrar, Arkansas City junior,
played only two matches all last season,
but, according to Gates, is very improved
and provides KU with more help than
last year.
Dennis Cahill and Paul Waltz, both of whom played consistently last season, have quit school and won't be returning for at least one semester.
Gates said he also would be depending on the play of three new recruits.
Tim Headle, a junior who transferred from Long Beach, Calif., comes to KU after being ranked one of the top eight California junior college players last year.
Jeff Thomas, who will be a sophomore at KU, played last year for Palm Beach Junior College in West Palm Beach, Fla., where, as a freshman, he was state double champions and runnerup in singles among Florida junior colleges.
SPORTS
Bill Flynn, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo., was sought by all Big Eight schools and was the high school singles runnerup in Missouri last year.
Steve Vann, a senior on last year's KU
team, will be Gates' full-time assistant this season.
Gates said one of the changes he would be experimenting with was that of a practice match, which he has done for World Team Tennis. The system is based upon points given for winning intra-team practice matches. Those players with the highest point totals will play in the matches.
Gates has been a teaching pro for 11 years. He is a native of Kansas City, Mo., and a 1967 graduate of Pembroke County Day High School in Kansas City. Gates was the Missouri high school champion in both singles and doubles in 1967 and 67.
Gates is a 1971 graduate of St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., where he received a B.A. degree in government and history.
He played both No. 1 singles and doubles at St. Lawrence for three years and was captain of the team his senior year. He also won the Eastern College Athletic Conference title in both singles and doubles each of his final three years.

Mitchell moves to defensive unit
Jud Mitchell, sophomore quarterback on the University of Kansas football team, has been moved from quarterback to the secondary. Coach Don Farnbrough amassed 26 receptions.
Fambrough said Mitchell would probably play in the cornerback or safety position. He would at this position Mitchell would get more of a chance to play then he would at quarterback.
Fambrough said the position change wouldn't affect the quarterback position. Scott McMichael is the No. 1 quarterback and Tom Krrattli has the No. 2 spot.
The position of defensive secondary isn't new to Mitchell, although he hasn't practiced that position at KU. Mitchell did play in the defensive secondary in high school.
Separation saved our marriage thanks to Marantz speakers.
“Where’s the flute Henry?” my wife complained constantly I was about ready to leave her. Then we saw a Marantz dealer. He told us that separation of sound is a true test of a speaker system. He suggested we put Marantz and,
sounds that are as pleasing as a nibble on the ear.
we talk to the whistle by listening to a familiar recording from our friend for ourselves that is the speaker and not the recording that makes the difference. Oh, what a difference Maranzt made! What we thought were two obes were clearly an oboe and a bassoon, but they played quartet well; they're really a quintet.
We bought the Marantz imperial SG 2 Way Speaker for just $99. Perfect for our budget and it delivers fine sound quality.
The proof is in the listening. And that's where Marantz design concepts come into play. The transducer in Marantzsys can be used to transmit a continuous power, so you get distortion-free
are five other quality Marantz speaker models starting as low as $59 and all are available with the new Marantz acoustically transparent foam grill
Whatever your power and budget requirements, keep this in mind. Marantz speaker systems are built by the people who develop the speaker series and 4-channel equipment in the world.
To find out how much better they sound
to your nearest Marantz dealer and listen.
