Men's golf team eager to hit the links Traveling squad heads to Colorado to compete in Falcon Invitational By Jenni Carlson The Kansas men's golf team gets its season underway tomorrow with the three-day Falcon Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo. Kansas' traveling squad includes senior Tyler Shelton, juniors Alan Stearns, Dan Rooney and transfer Slade Adams and sophomore Kit Grove, also a transfer. "This is probably the first time in many years that all five players have never been to this tournament," Randall said. "Usually you have a carryover, but not this year." The waiting is finally over. Kansan sportswriter "They're ready to get in some competition," Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall said. "They've been dying for this." Randall said the traveling squad for this tournament consisted of five players who have never played before in the Falcon Invitational. Shelton said he was anxious to see how his teammates would perform. "It should be a lot of fun to see how these guys do," Shelton said. "They're all getting experience." Because of collegiate regulations, the Jayhawks have had only two weeks of practice leading up to their first tournament. However, their limited amount of practice should not hurt the team since many of the players competed in summer golf tournaments and practice, Shelton said. Randall agreed that the team's restricted practice time should not have an overwhelming effect on its play. "If they play to the level of what they're capable of playing, we should do really well," he said. "We should contend." What may prove to be Kansas' biggest barrier is the team's eagerness to get the season started, Randall said. "It's their first tournament," he said. "They're going to be a little bit anxious." Shelton said he has been waiting for the golf season to begin since last spring. Even though he played and competed well in numerous tournaments over the summer, he saw only a limited amount of playing time last year. "College golf is special," Shelton said. "I'm ready to get out there and compete on the collegiate level." Kansas will be one of 24 teams at this weekend's tournament, Randall said. Most of the teams will be from the West Coast. The Colorado Buffaloes will be the only other Big Eight Conference team in the tournament. "Every time we play against someone in the Big Eight, we want to play well," Randall said. Shelton said the field of teams was not the toughest the Jayhawks would face during the season. He said that by playing well, good things could be in store for Kansas this weekend. Capriati to make comeback in tennis "I think we have a very good chance of winning the golf tournament," Shelton said. First appearance slated for October The Associated Press The Associated Press CLEVELAND — Jennifer Capriati plans to focus on fun and not let the pressure overwhelm her as she makes her professional tennis comeback. Capriati, who left the women's tour last year and was later arrested on drug charges, plans to return to the game in early October. "It's going to be different this time," Capriati said Tuesday. "I'm not going to put a lot of pressure on myself. I just want to play again, have fun and see how it goes." The International Management Group, an agency representing Capriati, said Tuesday the 18-year-old had requested wild-card entries to the Barilla Indoors Tournament in Zurich, Switzerland, and the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Filderstadt, Germany. "She will get the second wildcard for the tournament," Steger said. "We already have five of the top 10 players in Zurich this year, including Mary Pierce, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf. This will be an added bonus." "It is good news. She should be very fit now, according to what we have heard from America, and we hope she will be successful." Barilla representative Beate Steger confirmed Capriati will be allowed to "It was a surprise to us. We heard reports two weeks ago that she was coming to Zurich,but we had no information and we didn't believe it—until yesterday." The Filderstadt tournament runs Oct.10-16 Capriati has been practicing at her family's new home in Palm Desert, Calif. She moved there a few weeks ago from Boca Raton, Fla. Capriati's parents, who had been residing in the Tampa, Fla., area, also moved to Palm Desert. The New YorkTimes said Capriati's father, with whom she has had a tempestuous relationship, has become her courtside adviser. Capriati told the paper she isn't interested in hiring a coach until she decides whether she wants to play full time again. "It may seem like a sudden decision to some people, but I've wanted to play for some time and I've thought it out and figure, why not, that I'm mentally ready to play," Capriati told The Times. "It's great news," tennis commentator Mary Carillo said from Naples, Fla. "That's sooner than I thought she'd be back." Carillo said she could not predict how long it would be before Capriati returns to her old form. Capriati, who earned nearly $1.5 million during her career, stopped playing tennis last year after losing in the first round of the U.S. Open. She ended 1993 ranked No. 9 in the world despite missing the final three months of the tour. After leaving the tour, Capriati was arrested May 16 at a motel in Coral Gables, Fla., and charged with marijuana possession after a weekend allegedly spent partying with friends. Acquaintances claimed she used heroin and crack cocaine during that weekend. Capriati then spent 23 days in the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami before being released from its substance abuse unit June 10. Under a plea bargaining agreement, the arrest will be deleted from her record if she stays out of trouble until next June. The youngest semifinalist ever at Wimbledon, Capriati began playing professionally shortly before her 14th birthday. She won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympics by beating Steff Graf. Capriati has never won a Grand Slam event, although she has been a semifinalist at the U.S. Open, Wimbledon and the French Open. Capriati's success and subsequent problems underlined the risks that can await young players on the tour. Last week, the Women's Tennis Council announced a series of rule changes that include restrictions on the number of tournaments a 14-year-old may enter. The WTC said it began looking into the reforms before Capriati's problems were reported. Beginning and Intermediate Knitting Classes Starting Soon!
