Netmen suffer losses over spring vacation
By Ron Hanson
Spring vacation meant good times for most KU students, but for the Jayhawk tennis team it was a truly trying period as it lost all three matches it played.
On April 4, the Jayhawkers were defeated by Oklahoma City University, 6-1, as John Grantham, Topeka senior, picked up KU's only win. The next day KU traveled to Norman, Okla., and played Big Eight favorite Oklahoma, losing, 5-2. Grantham and Bill Terry, Hutchinson junior, won the Jayhawk matches there.
THE JAYHAWKS were shut out by Wichita State University, April 6, at Wichita, 7-0.
The three vacation losses leave coach Bob Mulcahy's netmen with a 2-3 record for the season. The Jayhawks won their first two matches, beating Kansas State in the season opener at Manhattan, 4-3, and Washburn University by an identical score March 31.
Mulcahy attributed the Jayhawk losses to a lack of experience on the team. Grantham is the only player back this year who was one of the top five players
Rugby match cancelled
on last season's squad. He and Terry are the only two players who have had any varsity experience at all.
The KU rugby game against Indiana University, which was to have been played tomorrow, has been cancelled by Indiana because of a mix-up in scheduling. The KU rugby club has no game this week. The game against Indiana will be played next fall.
The numbers 3,4,and 5 netmen are all sophomores and are just beginning to get the much needed varsity experience.
"We still have a chance for the league crown, although not a real good chance," said Mulcahy. "I think that KU along with Oklahoma, Kansas State and Oklahoma State are the top four teams in the Big Eight."
KU has been the Big Eight tennis champion for the past two years and last year had a record of 17-1. Also last year, the Jayhawks accomplished a rare feat as they won the league meet without even competing in the final round.
Mulcahy said that he believes the team will improve in forthcoming matches and that KU ought to have a good team next year because of the outstanding freshman squad.
Practices set for yell leaders
Practice for yell leader candidates will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Allen Field House, Vince Bilotta, adviser to the yell leader and pom-pon groups, said today.
the meeting Tuesday and one Thursday are practices. Tryouts will be Tuesday, April 26, he said.
KU will play Washburn again, April 19, in Lawrence as the Ichabods will be out to avenge their earlier loss to the Jayhawks.
Muleahy said, "Washburn has a real good team; they usually win their conference every year."
Following the Washburn contest, KU meets Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, April 21. This match should be somewhat easier for the Jayhawks as the Teachers usually place behind Washburn in the Central Intercollegiate Conference standings.
