ROWING: Challenge will come from river
Continued from Page 1B.
Catloth said that about 5,000 to 6,000 rowers would compete in the regatta. The Jayhawks' goal is to be one of the top collegiate teams.
"We want to be fast and do well at this race, but if we're in the top six crews, I think we've done well," Catloth said.
The river on which the team will be competing could be the biggest problem in reaching that goal. The Jayhawks have the experience needed to finish at the top of collegiate teams, but Catloth said the river, with a couple of big turns, would be a challenge for Kansas. He also said that with six to eight bridges on the three-mile course, about 5,000 to 6,000 spectators stand on each bridge just to see boats wreck.
"This is one where a coxswain can save you 15 to 30 seconds just in how they steer the course," he said. "It's known as a big coxswain's race."
With the difficult conditions, Catloth said that a lot of responsibility was in the hands of the coxswain.
Mary Beth Kurzak, Omaha, Neb., senior, will lead the Jayhawks from the back of the boat this weekend as the coxswain. Romens said she was confident that the experienced Kurzak could lead Kansas.
"I think it seems like she's always been one to be able to get out of the tough situation," Romens said. "I have a lot of confidence in her. She's able to remain calm in tough situations. She has a good ability to keep the team calm."
Kansas leaves today for Boston and will spend part of today and tomorrow practicing and familiarizing themselves with the Charles River.
The Jayhawks may not be familiar with the river, but with international and top-rated teams competing, Kansas is looking to see how it compares and hopes to get an idea of how it might do in national competitions this year.
"I think it's going to be a test for us and how we stack up as a team," Geiger said. "We're just looking to go out and row the best we can."
Geiger said the team would need to stay mentally focused and not get overwhelmed by the experience if they wanted to be successful Sunday.
"I'd like to see us go above and beyond what we think we're capable of," Geiger said.
Kansas' boys of summer to play fall scrimmages
Jayhawk fans have chance to meet players, coaches

The curtain will go up this weekend for the Kansas baseball team, but it will only be for a dress rehearsal.
The team will play two intrasquad scrim-

mages and allow fans a chance to meet the Jayhawks at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium. Today's game begins at 7:30 p.m., and tomorrow's game is at 1:30 p.m.
One of those concerns is the pitching staff. The team lost its No.1 starter, Jamie Splittorr, who left a year early to play with the Minnesota Twins' minor league system.
"Our pitching staff needs some work," Randall said. "They have to work on location and mixing speeds better."
Randall, who is in his first year at Kansas after replacing Dave Bingham, likes what he has seen so far of the team that finished 24-33 last year. He said the work habits of the young players were exceptional.
"I knew that the veterans were well-schooled," Randall said. "I like their approach."
Fans will be able to meet the players and coaches at noon tomorrow. Players and coaches will be available for pictures and can answer questions. It also is parents' weekend for the team, which will allow the players' families a chance to meet each other.

The team will be split by positions for the

the field, Randall said. The scrimmages will be the first time that the coaching staff has worked together. Manager Rick Sabath and pitching coach Wilson Kilmer are the only holdovers from last year's staff. Randall and assistant coach Mike Boddicker are new.
"This will give us a good opportunity to see how we're going to handle games," Randall said. "The entire coaching staff has only been together a week, so it will be good to see how we work together."
It will give Boddicker a chance to see the team for the first time in competition.
"I really don't know the team that well yet," Boddicker said after he was hired. "I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody can do."
Fall practice ends Oct. 27, and then the team will go into a heavy-conditioning period.
"All this work should pay off for the season," Randall said of the team's first game. "We're going to be ready for Feb. 9."
