Tennis in high school spurs KU's Hoskings
By RON COHN
Some athletes develop more quickly than others and some athletes just develop
The latter is the case of Mark Haskins,
University of Kansas freshman, who will play singles for the tennis team this season.

It wasn't until "basking" seventh grade that he began playing tennis. He was the first teacher at Washington High School in Kansas City, Kan., was his coach.
"My dad was a great athlete in his college days," Hosking said. "He played track and field."
"WASHINGTON HADN'T HAD a tennis team in 10 or 20 years. "My dad started playing tennis and read books on it. So, he became the tennis coach."
hostings started playing tennis the
month before seventh grade. That year,
he played number one single for
Washington High School's junior variety
team.
"I guess I won the very first point for Washington in dunal meet history," he said.
As a junior, Hoskings won the Kansas high school championship. He lost only one dual match that season, and went into the state tourney seeded fourth.
"MY DAD GOT US INTO perfect condition for the tournament," Hoskins said. "We had to run two miles every day. I was playing good tennis, but really my condition was so good that nobody was going to beat
Hoskins beat the top seed, 7-5, 6-3 in the semifinals. He met Brad Lourdback, his biggest rival and a tennis player for Oklahoma State, in the finals.
"It was 95 degrees with 95 per cent humidity," Hosking said. "It was a smoldering day, I was in terrific shape. I just stood there and smiled and beat him 6-1."
Hokings thinks everyone thought it was a fluke that he won. So, the two players met in a grudge match in last year's state tournament.
"BRAD WAS THE NO. 1 SEED," Hoskins recalled. "I beat him in the semifinals by the same score as the previous year.
The loss in the finals was a disaster. It led to some hard times in tournaments this year.
"But, I had a different coach. I wasn't in the league, but lost some incentive, to lead the No. 3 seed in the tournament."
Hokkings lost to Lourdack in the quarrels of the Missouri Valley Tournament.

"It was a loss that hurt me badly," he said. "If I had won I could have on Wilson. My free list for all my equipment. It cost $70,000 to blankie for any national tournament."
Hookings is anxious about playing college tennis.
"I think tennis is a lot tougher than I dreamed," he said. "It's a big step. I don't know any college names and I knew them all in high school.
Concerned students and faculty have brought charges against the School of Social Welfare's administration, regarding the issue of equal employment opportunity for Steven Lewis. The University Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the charges this month.

As a result of his performance, Butler was named Big Eight defensive player of the week. He won by a split vote of a panel of writers over Oklahoma's Jimbo Erodr.
Other nominations were linebacker Gary Spani of Kansas State University, safety Darnell Meyers of Oklahoma State University, linebacker Michael Buck Ken Dewing of the University of Missouri and tackle Mike Fulz of the University of Nebraska.
