Sophomores lead KU tennis team
The KU varsity tennis team will open the 1967 season in a match with Luther (iowa) at Lawrence.
The KU tennis team is led by six sophomores. Six of them played together at Shawnee Mission East. Their combined talents gained them the Kansas high school championship in 1965.
The squad returns only two lettermen, Bill Terry, Hutchinson senior, and Jim Keller, Russell junior. Terry is a two-time letterman and is the only KU player with Big Eight tournament experience. He was runner-up in No. 5 singles as a soph.
Keller was the sixth man on the squad last year at the time of the Big Eight tournament and did not compete.
KU lost John Grantham, who was partners with Terry to win the No. 1 doubles last year. Not playing this year because of a knee operation is Mike Allen, runner-up in No. 4 singles.
KU finished second in the Big Eight race last year behind Oklahoma and tied with Kansas State for second place.
UDK-FIRST WITH CAMPUS NEWS
A new system is being used this year in tennis play. The conference teams will play every other Big Eight school at least one dual match. So the championship will be determined by the number of dual meets won plus the victories compiled in the Big Eight championship at Norman.
A school can score 70 points by winning all its matches in the seven duals against the member schools and by winning all five singles and doubles in Norman. In the conference meet, a total score of 21 points could be amassed at Norman.
In recent years, the conference championship has been determined by points scored only in the Big Eight championship.
Ryun to compete in mile and 880
LOS ANGELES—(UPI)—Coach Jim Bush of UCLA's defending NCAA track and field champions said Tuesday he had word from the University of Kansas that sophomore sensation Jim Ryun had been entered in four events for Saturday's dual meet at the Memorial Coliseum.
Bush said Ryun definitely would run in the mile and 880-yard races, two events in which he currently holds world records. His mile mark of 351.3 was set last summer in Berkeley, Calif., while his half-mile standard of 1:44.9 was run in Terre Haute, Ind.
Should Kansas be close in the point standings to the Bruins, then the Sullivan Award winner as the amateur athlete of the year would probably also be called on to run the two-mile event and a leg of the mile relay. Ryun holds the American record in the two-mile at 8:52.2, which was set in the coliseum relays last May.
KU Rugby ready for St. Louis
KU's Rugby Football Club will travel to the "big rugby town" of St. Louis this Saturday and attempt to extend the victory column of its 3-1 season record.
There are at least four rugby clubs in the St. Louis area, Jim Brandon, Rugby Club president, said, and these will be joined by teams from Wisconsin and Illinois in the St. Louis Rugby Tournament.
Kansas will play the Clayton (Mo.) Rugby Club at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the tournament held at St. Louis University.
"We feel we can win our match," Brandon said. "St. Louis University has beaten Clayton and we feel that we are good enough to beat St. Louis although we lost to them by two points in our season opener three weeks ago."
Since then KU's A unit has won three straight games. Its latest victory was over the Kansas City Rugby Club 16-3 last Saturday in Kansas City.
