injuries. A former NJCAA All-America runner, Hunter Green could be the key to a win against K.J. Grassi.
Other hopeful returning from last year's team include Joel Cambron, Coffeyville junior, Rick Erzel, Rizk sophomore. Boha Lumley, of the Jacksonville Glenn Harter, Pomona, Calif., sophomore.
Newcomers to the squad include at least five athletes who Timmons signed during the season.
NCJA 1,000 meter champion Ted Crank tops the group. Crank, who grabbed the jucu title with a 3:46.3 clocking, equivalent to a 4:04 mile, is a Hutchinson Junior College graduate. A former star at Hutchinson High school has a career best of 1:58.4 in the 880.
The other four signees were Kansas allstate high school performers in events ranging from the 880 to the two-mile run. If they can make the transition from two miles to five miles, they could help the team win; Bill Rutherford, Wichita East; Brian Sancher, Shawnee Mission North; and Paul Malott. Shawnee Mission East.

give the Jayhawks plenty of choices.
"OUR ONLY CONCERN here to each other's style of play," be observed.
At goalie the Jayhawks are solid, with possibly the best pair in the conference—Dave Boyles, Wichita sophomore, and Rafael Perez, Lawrence senior.
Boyles, who has less than a year's experience came on strong at the end of last season. His improvement was so dramatic that he was elevated to first-season goalie where he allowed fewer than one goal a game during the season's past 10 contests.
"Dave was super," Mulin recalled. "I was really something to see and it gave the boy a smile."
Mullin expressed concern about Perez's confidence during the latter stages of the campaign.
"RAFAEL SORT OF lost his confidence towards the end of the year when Dave stepped in," Mullin said. "But he wasn't ready to go." The team played so well we couldn't keep him out."
Mullin said that Rafael can be as good as anyone and added that barring injury KU could be able to get the job done.
Although it sounds like a broken record, KU does have an unbelievable amount of talented, experienced and intelligent soccer players. And while this situation is preferable to having a lack of good players, it does present a problem.
"I CAN TELL already that I'm going to have my hands fully trying to find time for all of them to play," he said, "but it goes deeper than just playing time.
"The foreign players have grown up under a system where a coach names 11 men at the start of the game and that group goes out and plays the entire 90 minutes.
"Whereas, the American boys are quite used to the free substitution, which destroys continuity. I guess I'll just have to get us some more games to play."
KU has a 14-game schedule for the fail that includes six home games. They open the season Sunday, Sept. 12, with a home contest against the Missouri Tigers.
the first practice for the squad will begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the intramural fields at 23rd and Iowa. Mullin stressed that the club was open to anyone interested in soccer and encouraged all interested students wishing to try out for the team to report to practice.
