KU netters win rain-delayed bill
"We had tied Wichita in a previous meet this season and felt we could do better in our rematch," said Jim Burns, KU tennis coach. "I was real happy with our meet this time. We shifted some players around and played some boys that didn't play last time and it worked out pretty well."
The netters won three out of four singles matches and split the doubles competition, failing to contain Wichita State's South African player Mervyn Webster.
"Webster has got to be one of the two or three best we've played this year," said Burns. "There's quite a difference between Wichita's first man and the rest of their club."
Webster defeated KU's Bill DeBaun, Leawood senior, in the singles and then teamed up with Ken Wetzel to beat a game KU doubles team of Sid Kanter, Prairie Village senior, and Dan Oram, Shawnee Mission junior, 6-4 and 7-5.
DeBaun and Dudley Bush, Salina junior, teamed up in the other doubles match to beat Wichita State 6-4 and 6-4, while Kanter scored an impressive 6-0, 6-1 victory over Wichita's Don Spies.
KU finishes their regular and conference dual competition Saturday when they travel to Missouri.
"Nebraska beat Missouri earlier in the season, and we beat Nebraska 4-0 Monday, so I don't expect too much trouble from Missouri," Burns said. "Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State are probably the weakest teams in the conference."

Mervyn Webster, WSU, defeated Bill DeBaun, 6-2, 6-0.
John Towner, KU, defeated Ken Wetzel, 6-3, 8-6
