into the meet with a 16-7 dual record, four defending champions, and another second-place winner. Hottest player right now is Scott Martin, who has won his last 10 matches in a row, playing mainly at No. 4. He has probably knocked one of the defending titlists, Jack Theimer, out of the running. Alternating between No. 1 and No. 2 have been Glenn Mullins and Gerry Perry. Perry is the defending champion at No. 2, while Mullins was second at No. 1. Sophomore Gayle Bradshaw has moved to No. 3, and Bruce Barrett, defending No. 3 singles champion to No. 5. Dick Theimer, freshman brother of Jack, has seen considerable action at No. 4. In doubles, Mullins and Barrett are undefeated and the defending No. 1 champions. At No. 2, Martin and Dick Theimer has seen the most action, but Perry could become involved—he teamed with departed Dick Gilkey to win No. 2 last year.
Iowa State
The Cyclones are enjoying their best tennis year in some time, carding a 7-1-1 record in dual competition. Leading individual for Conference honors is John Waltman, who has been playing in the No. 4 slot. He has lost but one match this season. In the No. 1 slot will probably be Rick Schultz, at No. 2 is Ted Hommema, Mark Ackley at No. 4, and Greg Peterschmidt is No. 5. In doubles, Waltman and Peterschmidt have been pairing at the top spot, with Hommema and Ackley No. 2.
Kansas
the most consistent pair has been Kanter and Oram. Probably together in the No. 2 spot will be Debaun and Bush.
It is basically a veteran team at Kansas, too, with the return of Bill Debaun, John Towner, Dan Oram, and Sid Kanter, the top four players. Oram finished second to Oklahoma's Bruce Barrett at No. 3 last year. Moving into the No. 5 spot this year has been Dudley Bush, who goes into the meet with the team's best record. In doubles,
Missouri
A newcomer has taken over the lead for Missouri this year and has been a consistent winner. Gene Fluri has
KANSAN Sports
Conference wins over Nebraska's Tom Wiese and Colorado's Art Thomson, while losing to Oklahoma State's Cliff Price and Kansas State's Dave Hoover. Generally at the second spot is veteran Brent DeMoss, with Robbie Briscoe playing at No. 3, Steve Tuttle No. 4, and Ron Cobb No. 5. In doubles, Coach Murray Strong has gone basically with Fluri and DeMoss at the top spot and Cobb and Briscoe at No. 2.
Nebraska
Depth is the key to Nebraska's effort to climb out of the Big Eight cellar this year. Four lettermen return and there is a top-flight freshman, Jim Rathe, who is playing in the No. 2 slot. Playing No. 1 is veteran Bill Roehrs, with sophomore Bill Brunell taking No. 3 and letterman Tom Wiese No. 4. John Hendry, a squad member last year, is No. 5. In doubles, Roehrs and Rathe make up the leading combination. At No. 2 will probably be Hendry and Wiese, who have Big Eight victories over Missouri's Ron Cobb and Rob Briscoe and Iowa State's Greg Peterschmidt and John Waltman.
Kansas State
It is a young team, but talented, at Kansas State and rates as one of the best since Karl Finney took over as coach 14 years ago. Sophomores Randy McGrath and Dave
Hoover have taken over at the top two individual spots. Another sophomore, Craig Price, plays in the No. 4 slot. Steve Snodgrass, playing No. 3, and Merle Duncan, at No. 5, are the veterans of the club. Best record going into the Conference meet belongs to McGrath, who has Big Eight wins over Bill Debaun and John Towner of Kansas, Steve Tuttle of Missouri, and Art Thomson of Colorado. A league loss was to Oklahoma State's Cliff Price, the defending No. 1 champion, in three sets.
Oklahoma State
Returning are its top four players from the second-place team of last year as the Cowboys shoot for their first title since 1963. Premiere player is stubby Cliff Price, who won the No. 1 singles title last year. No. 2 is Darrel Snyder, while freshman Rick Jones and veteran Mike Howard have been alternating at No. 3. Rick Biggert, who played at No. 4 last year, is No. 5 this time. In doubles, Darrel Snyder, a letterman senior, and Howard have been going at No. 1, while Price and Jones are No. 2. Last year Snyder and Price were runner-up at No. 1.
Colorado
All five performers from last year return at Colorado, led by Art Thomson and Carl Bodam. Bodam, who sports the best Buff record going into the meet, was runuper to Oklahoma's Gerry Perry at No. 2 last year. Earlier this year, Perry tipped Bodam. Thomson, at No. 1, was beaten by Oklahoma's Glen Mullins, second-place man last year. Playing third is Irv Schiller, who has the next best record on the team (he has a Conference loss to Oklahoma's Gayle Bradshaw, in three sets). Bodam and Thomson team in doubles (They were three-set losers to Oklahoma's undefeated duo of Mullins and Steve Barrett), while Schiller and Tom Weinstock are No. 2.
