said head coach Bob Stanclift. "We tried to be aggressive and work on mistakes. We can't make any evaluations, but we got some games under our belts."
The tournament was played as a round-robin with the games limited to 90 minutes each.
KU faced Johnson County Com

Braizer each batted in two hits for KU!

"We have a lot of experienced players," she said. "There're only two freshman pitchers and the rest of us are all back from last year."
The Jayhawks allowed two unearned runs in the second game against Hutchinson Junior College. Freshman pitcher Genny Honea struck-out 10 players in the seven-inning game.
Kim Dovle hit a triple and the
Barton County Community College lost to the Jayhawks 8-0 in the third game. Braizer gave up one hit and struck out five.
game-winning RBI.
Stancilf said that even though the team won easily, it would have to face tougher teams further into the season.
In the final game, KU trounced Dodge City Community College 21-0. Reenie Powell pitched a four inning no-hitter and struck out six. Honea had three hits and four RBI, Laura Cramer had three RBI and Sheila Connolly hit a triple.

KU women win running meet
By BRIAN SNYDER Sports writer
Craig Watcke, one of KU's top cross country runners, readied himself both physically and mentally at the starting line of the five-mile race at Rim Rock Farm on Friday.
Cross country
"I try to think of my race plan," Watche said yesterday. "I know I want to try to stay with the front-runners and avoid being tripped up at the start of the race."
Watke and his race plan were successful in helping the KU men's cross
country team to a second place finish against Southern Illinois and Johnson County Community College in the first meet of the year.
The women's team beat JCCC before the men's race at Rim Rock Farm. Melissa Satterfield, Fort Smith, Ark., sophomore, finished the five kilometer course in 18 minutes and 24 seconds to take first place. The women's team easily outdistanced JCCC by taking five of the six top places.
"I didn't feel well but I ran as well as can be expected." Satterfield said. "It always helps to know the course you're running on."
The KU women's team scored 16 points and JCCC's team scored 39
points and JCC's women scored 20.
The KU men's team scored 16 points between SIU, which had 28, and JCC, which (finished with 70 points).

Javhawks win KSU tourney

Not only did the team beat its fiercest rival, it brought home the first place trophy from the Kansas State Tournament.
Kansas also was successful in eliminating Wichita State and Drake.
"It feels great to beat K-State, especially since we haven't ever
beaten them in a regular season," senior middle hitter Julie Ester said yesterday. "We have a mental thing with them, but now that we've beaten them it should go away."
Head coach Frankie Albitz said Kansas State was the toughest of the three teams Kansas played in the tournament.
"They have really nice athletes who are a lot bigger than we are," Albitz said.
The next morning Kansas faced
Kansas State's size couldn't overcome Kansas' attack, though Kansas lost only one game to them, winning 15-13, 11-15, 15-9. 15-9
wichita State, a team the Jayhawks already beat this season. The result was the same in this meeting, with Kansas defeating the Shockers 15-9, 15-10, 15-11.
The next victim was Drake, a young team which fell to Kansas 15-9, 15-11, 15-10.
"Wichita State played better that time," Albitz said. "I figured they'd get meaner toward us, and we didn't play as well against them."
Catalina Suarez, sophomore outside hitter, was unanimously voted by the tournament coaches as most valuable player for the tournament.
Rugby team wins home opener
By JANE ZACHMAN Sports writer
The Kansas varsity rugby team stomped Pittsburg State, 74-9. on Saturday in the team's home opener.
"We train a lot harder," said Drew Pollock, junior and member of the KU team. "We practice four days a week and our conditioning paid off."
Steve Jackman, sophomore, said Pittsburgh was a young team and its plavers were not as experienced.
and Tom Kirk and sophomore Jason Elder each had one.
Rugby
The game's high scorers included John Brooks, senior, and Mike Van DerBosch, senior, each with three tries. Pat Kirk, sophomore, and Jackman each had two tries, and seniors Lou Blanco, Scott Emerson
Each "try" the players scored were worth four points. Tries are similar to touchdowns in football. A player scores a try by crossing the goal line with the ball and placing it on the ground in the tryzone.
Conversions are attempted after a try has been made. The kicker places the ball any distance directly back from where the ball crosses the line into the tryzone. The kicker then tries to kick the ball through the goal posts to score two points.
Junior kicker Paul King scored nine conversions.
King said it was hard to keep from scoring so many points against Pittsburgh because the extra points could be helpful in merit table play.
Winning the first merit table game against Pittsburg and scoring heavily was important for the team, said KU head coach Bill Mills.
Winning merit table games advances the team towards the league championships. Teams in the league play each other during the season and the two teams with the most merit table wins play each other for the championship.
In the 1985 season, Mills said, the team was denied the championship because it had not compiled enough points in merit table games.
The day of the championship match against Kansas State the game was called because of rain. The officials declared K-State the champions because it had accumulated more points in league play.
Missouri posts only Big Eight victory

guiding his opportunistic Tigers to a 24-10 victory over Utah State on Saturday in Columbia, Mo. The rest of the Big Eight wasn't as lucky.
With top-rated Oklahoma and No. 6 Nebraska idle, the rest of the conference posted a 1-5 record Saturday. It was the worst week for the Big Eight since 1982, when Kansas State and Iowa State were the only winners in a 2-5 weekend.
This year, Kansas State was blanked 17-0 by Division 1-A Northern Iowa. Kansas was shut out 20-0 by North Carolina, Iowa State was thumped by cross-state rival No. 20 Iowa 43-3, Oklahoma State was stopped 27-23 by Tulsa, and Colorado dropped a 32-30 decision to Oregon.
The Missouri victory was more than the usual big-school-over-little
school season opener. The Tigers went 1-10 in 1985 in Widenhofer's first season with the lone win coming at Iowa State by one point.
"It's good to get a win under our belt — good, poor, bad, ugly, pretty, whatever. " Widenhofer said."
