Women's coach optimistic about fall golf program
By STEVE CLARK
Sports Writer
KU women's golf coach Nancy Boozer is overflowing with optimism and confidence about her squad's outlook for the fall schedule.
"I'm really looking forward to getting started," she said Monday. "This is the first time we've ever really had numbers of quality girls. It's going to create lots of competition within the team, which will be good."
Leading the list of top flight golfers this fall will be none other than her daughter, Beth. A junior this semester, Beth had an outstanding spring.
She was tied for medalist honors at the end of Eighteen. It was the end of second-second and final seconds.
In addition, Bozer was the lone Jawhakw in advance past the qualifying rounds at the NCAA Tournament.
Junior varsity still strong part of KU football
At many schools, junior varsity football is a thing of the past. Schools across the nation are cancelling or have already cancelled their schedules.
KU is one of the schools that still has a junior varsity schedule, however.
Bud Moore, KU football coach, has made it very clear he wants his younger players and reserves to get some game experience, and reserves action is how they are going to get it.
Although there is no league schedule or conference rankings for junior varsity games, the games still are meaningful to the players. Ask a freshman from western Kentucky to meet a friend of his, who he played with at high school, is playing for Kansas State.
The first KU jayce game is game 17. With the Jays having knocked off the Javahawks, 28-13, he came back.
The Jayhawks then travel to Washburn and meet the Ichabods Oct. 4.
Two home games conclude the season with Nebraska here Oct. 29 and Kansas here Nov. 3.
In the only other junior varsity game for the Hawks last year, KU smothered K-State.
Four part time assistants will direct the team—Hank Hettler, recruiting and academic coordinator; Jack White; Mike McDaniel and Mike Zoftef. They will also spend time during regular practices working with the younger players.

last spring.
He'll receive strong support from Nancy Hoils, Leavenworth sophomore; Diane Nesser, Kansas City, Kans., junior; Michelle Casey, Cincinnati, Joan Casey, Ida Grove, Iowa, sophomore.
"These girls will give us a good base in terms of quality and numbers," Booer said.
Newcomers to the squad expected to challenge for one of the top five spots include Sharon Shogren, Freddia freshman; Julie Sawyer, Cassandra freshman; and Pam Gotsche, Great Bend junior.
"They're all good," she said, adding that Gattsche played for the men's team at Barton County Community College last spring.
Boozer also mentioned two other golfers who will provide the team with even more experience. The pair, Charneille Hadi, Lawrence freshman, and Jackie Delong, Lawrence senior, could be classified as non traditional students.
Hadi is the wife of Houston Oler quarterback John Hadi and Delong's husband, Steve, is a former San Diego Charger standout.
"They're welcomed additions to the
scooter," Hoover said, "they'll be good for
me."
Boozer, who's coached the KU women the past three years for pay and before she left, said they don't have any.
thought their fall schedule would be a challenging one.
KU opens the fall swing Sept. 10-11 when they travel to Columbia, Mo., for a tournament hosted by Missouri University and Stenhens College.
next they'll take part in the All College Classic, Sept. 29-21, in Oklahoma City.
They make their first home appearance on Oct. 4-5 hosting to the AIAW Region 6 Championships at Alvamar Hills Golf Course.
KU's AIAW Region is the seven state area of Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Dakota, New Hampshire, Missouri and Kansas. Last fall 12 teams took part in the event and KU came away with a second place finish.
The Jayhawks wind up fall action with dual competitions against the Oklahoma schools. On Oct. 8, KU goes to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State and the following Friday. Oct. 15, Oklahoma will visit Lawrence.
The matches are scheduled for the Friday preceding the Big Eight conference football clashes between KU and the Cowboys and Sooners.
"It's something we'd like to do every year," she said, "and it's a special deal for it."
Boozer announced that the team's first meeting will be at 4 p.m. Monday at her home, 1625 Kasloi. And she stressed that they are going to meet in person and are welcomed and encouraged to come.
"You never know what kind of athletes might be on campus," she said.
