OU, OSU get Big 8 tennis golf crowns
The two Oklahoma school's scored heavily over the week-end as they pulled down the Big Eight trophies in golf and tennis.
Oklahoma State won its ninth straight conference golf championship while the Oklahoma Sooners grabbed the tennis trophy.
THE JAYHAWKERS, defending champions, supplied the major surprise of the play by taking both the first singles and the first doubles competition.
In the tennis contest, at Columbia, Mo., KU and Kansas State ended in a deadlock for second place, eight points behind the Sooners.
John Grantham, Topeka senior and runner-up one year ago, battled from behind to hand Sooner sophomore Steve Stockton his first loss to a league opponent in the singles. 2-6, 7-5, and 6-4.
Grantham then teamed with Bill Terry, Hutchinson junior, for a straight doubles set triumph over Larry Gose and Bob Howard of Oklahoma State.
IN THE GOLF match, also at Columbia, Hale Irwin of Colorado, all Big Eight football safety man, won the individual crown. The Colorado junior shot a final round of 68 to edge Oklahoma State's Jim Hardy by two strokes.
The Jayhawks dropped both ends of a double-header Friday before they were able to edge ISU in the tenth inning. This was their first win in their last seven outings.
The victory left KU with a 3-12 Big Eight record and 8-14, overall. Iowa State stands 10-6 in conference play and with a season mark of 12-9.
THE JAYHAWKS fumbled away a three-run lead in the top half of the ninth inning, before they finally pushed across a tally in the tenth on a hit batsman and two singles.
John Adams, who went to first after being hit on the finger by a pitch, advanced to third on Sandy Buda's single to shallow right. Jim Shanks drove the winning run across with a two-strike single, snapping the six game losing streak.
Buda was the winning pitcher for the Hawks, while Bob Ziegler, the fourth Iowa State hurler, took the loss. Bob Skahan was the offensive stand-out for the Jayhawks, with one double and scoring three times.
FRIDAY, KU sank lower in the Big Eight cellar when they dropped two games to Iowa State.
In the nightcap, Iowa State's Bob Ziegler threw a two-hitter for the 2-0 win. No KU runner got past first base, as Ziegler fanned seven.
Tom Bishard took the first KU loss and Bill Maddux, the second. Iowa State football quarterback Tim Van Galder got the pitching win over KU in the 7-5 first game.
