Jayhawks seek experience in Big 8 gymnastics meet

Coach Bob Lockwood said the men's gymnastics team was better prepared this year than it was last year, but predicted that KU would still finish last at the Big Eight Invitational this weekend in Lincoln, Neb.
The meet begins tonight with competition in the onelonal routines.
"We're a lot further ahead on compulsions because we've been concentrating on them," he said. "But our options will have to suffer this meet."
Olympic compulsory routines, which were changed following the 1976 Olympic Games, were adapted for morning and afternoon. The compulsory routines are changed following each Olympics, but Lockwood said the team was better prepared for the new compulsories.
The finals will be tomorrow night, bringing together the top 10 performers in each of the six Olympic events. The top 10 performers will be determined by the average of the compulsory and optional score.
THE SIX Olympic events are floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, long horse vaulting, parallel bars and horizontal bar.
Lockwood said that Iowa State would probably win the meet. Iowa State should be at full strength, Lockwood said, and Nebraska and Oklahoma—iowa State's teammates—shouldn't have to compete with their top performers because they are competing in an international meet.
Iowa State met Nebraska this year, and the Cyclones won that meet by half a point. Lockwood said Colorado, who also won't be at full strength, would probably fourth and the dayhawks fifth. Missouri won Kansas State don't compete in gymnastics.
Although he discounted KU's chances of placing well as a team, Lockwood said that several individual competitors at KU had a chance at making the finals.
HE SAID Jody Summers, Mike Hynes,
Sean Williams, John Nunley and Bill Harmons.
Summers and Harmons all three finals.
Summers and Harmons are all-around men's gymnasts that work all six events. Summer$^4$ strongest events are horizontal bar events; Harmons is parallel bars, according to Lockwood.
Williams works floor exercise and vaulting and can make finals on both events, Lockwood said. Nunley and Harness are specialists on the rings and pommel horse. He said that the KU gymnast to make finals at the Big Eight championship meet last season.
Ruggers ready for Topeka club
Some of the members of the Kansas Jayhawk Rugby Club have friends on the Topeka Rugby Club, but Sunday the friendships end, at least temporarily. After graduation from high school, the club will visit Lawrence with the intention of making the Jayhawks its next victim.
"A rivals has grown up in the last few weeks," player-coach Allan Chapman said yesterday, "especially after they beat one of the one of the strongest clubs in the area."
Two Jayhawk starters are injured. Paul Diedrich won't be able to play because of a sprained ankle, and Rich Coulson is still out. The Lakers won the game against Sunday against the Kansas City Blues.
The Jayhawks should benefit from the services of Emporia's top player, Kevin Regan, who will play wing forward in Sunday's game. Regan hopes to prove that he is good enough to start for the Jayhawks when they tour England in January.
The game will start at 1 p.m. on the intramural fields at 23rd and Iowa streets.
BESIDES SUMMERS and Hynes, Lockwood said he would take Scott Holman and Foul Culbertson to the meet all as-airound performers. Chad Kelley will round out the eight-man KU squad. He will work pimpel horse, although he has a bad helm. Kelley's is the only injury the Jayhawks have suffered so far this season.
Although it will be the Jahayhaws' first competition of the season, Lockwood doesn't seem to be worrying about the invitational.
"This isn't supposed to be a pressure meet," he said. "We just get together to throw so that we can be better gymnasts."
Two years ago they were sophomores. They were young and some were green. They sat and watched the big boys play. They remember the time well.
KU hopes to save football season
By STEVE SCHOENFELD
Sports Editor
They can recall seeing the seniors let KU's season wilt away. There's nothing new to learn from it.
It's not that easy to forget. It could always happen again.
And several Jayhawks will have that in the back of their minds when they meet Iowa State at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in Memorial Stadium. A crowd of 40,000 is expected to see KU's final home game this season.
"SURE IT'S in the back of my mind that it can happen again," senior guard Roger Hammond said yesterday. "A lot of guys are going to try their hardest not to let it happen again because they know what we went through."
"This is one time history can help you. The seniors that year gave up. After the first quarter of their final game at Missouri, they said, "Heil it, with it. It's our last game." "
Tomorrow won't be the Jayhawks last game. They travel to Colorado next week and are expected to face the players admit that of the three teams remaining, the Jayhawks have the best record.
linebacker Terry Beeson said, "I've played at Colorado and at Missouri, and I know how it's almost impossible to win at Colorado and tough to win at Missouri.
"We're in a must-win situation,"
"THIS is our last home game. We have something to prove to people. We owe them all."
The Jayhawks, 5-3 and 1-3 in the Big Eight, will try to bounce back from a crushing 31-3 defeat by Nebraska last Saturday. KU is seeking to regain some momentum after losing three of its last four games.
KU WILL BE trying to get its once explosive offense back together again. The offense gained only 184 yards against the Huskers. The Jayhawks could be starting a new quarterback tomorrow as sophomore running back, but the Jays McMichael for the job. KU head coach Bud Moore said he wouldn't make a decision on a starter until game time.
"This game is the turning point," Hammond said, "whether we are going to have a good, average or poor season. But these guys (the KU players) can win at least two more games counting this one. If we win, then it's going to be tough from here on out."
Sophomore Mac Vincent, who was being red-shifted this year, could also see his opportunity.
"He's not going to start," Moore said. "I know that. But there's a possibility we will."
this point, I can't assume we are going to red-shirt any of our quarterbacks."
"You have to run their passing game," Moore said. "But they, run very well when their quartbacks are forced out of the pocket. Stanley and their other quarterback, Buddy Hardeman, do an outstanding job when they run.
is one of the big reasons for the turnaround of the Cyclones, 6-2 and 2-1 in league play.
Kansan Predictions
Whoever starts at quarterback will lead the Jayhawks against a not fancy, but solid, Cyclone defense. Iowa State's defense is led by the Ravens, who hold a pound tackle, and his older brother Maynard, a 64, 237-pound nose guard. Tom Randall, a 64, 245-pound, ISU's other tackle, and be, too, is a good one. So its is to push the defense leads the Big Eight in interceptions with 19.
Making the Kansas football predictions this fall are Steve Schonefeld, sport editor; Brent Anderson, editor; Gary Vee, assistant sport editor; Ale Alouhaina, managing editor and Fall 1973 movie editor.
