Hawks land backline aces
KU basketball coach Ted Wens announced last week the signing of Dave Taynor, a 6-31 sharp shooter from Bethalto High School, Bethalto, Ill., to a KU basketball letter-of-intent.
Sought by more than 200 colleges and universities, Taylor was named to three all-state teams in Illinois after the past
season. He averaged 27.8 points a game in his senior year and totaled 1,815 points in his high school career.
Bethalto coach Jim Carey said Taynor was "the finest shooter he had ever seen."
Another recent KU signee is Glen Russell, a 6-3 forward from Kansas 5-A champion Wyandotte. Russell, who is capable of playing guard, has been described by his coach as being the most valuable 10 to 12 point-per-game player he has ever seen.

INFLATED SAND
SALEM, Ore. (UPI)—Sand and gravel is worth $1.25 a cubic yard at the gravel pit, according to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries.
By the time it leaves the pit its value has increased 10 times, and when the material is put in steel-reinforced concrete buildings, its value has increased more than 100 times the original cost.

In team match play at Ames, Iowa, KU lost to Iowa State 8-7 and Nebraska $10^{\frac{1}{2}}-4\frac{1}{2}$. Dennerline was low for the Jayhawks with a 78 despite poor weather. Other KU scorers were Rogers, 82, DeLongy, 83, Keck, 85 and Burgland, 91.
"We played pretty well at Nebraska in decent weather but we just didn't do well in the poor conditions in Ames," Norton said.
KU coach Wilbur Norton described his teams performance as "just fair."

Next action for the Jayhawks is this Friday when they host all the Big Eight teams at Lawrence Country Club.
Because the current Jayhawk roster includes an abundance of big men and a shortage of guards, Owens and assistants Sam Miranda and Gale-Catlett are taking a particularly close look at guards even though more big men are being sought.
The Jayhawk coaching staff used this weekend's KU Relays to show off the campus to three prospects. Among the hopeful signees was Tom Kivisto, younger brother of Bob Kivisto, KU's starting guard the past season.
Young Kivisto, an East Aurora, Ill. product who broke many of Bob's high school records, is one of the most highly sought high school guards in the nation.
Gary Porteous, Innkeeper
The Jayhawks have now signed three to Big 8 letters-of-intent. The third is Randy Culbertson, a 6-3 guard from Raytown South High School, Raytown, Mo.
It is hoped that Tom will follow brother Bob to Mount Oread but to date the younger Kivisto has said nothing definite.
Kita Skaggs, Asst. Innkeeper
The national letter-of-intent day is May 6. Only after signing on that day is a prospect bound to attend only the school he signs with.
Strong pitching gains doubleheader sweep
The KU Jayhawks used a supposedly weak pitching staff to completely handcuff Kansas State Friday afternoon and defeat the Wildcats in both ends of a doubleheader, 6-3 and 4-1.
Dave Robish, Springfield, Ill. junior making his first start after reporting to the team late, pitched the first five innings of the opener before giving way to reliever and eventual winner Bob Wolf, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore. During his five-inning stint Robish gave up no earned runs and only two hits.
Nick Horner, an all-Big 8 pitcher for the Wildcats two years ago, took the loss in the opener for K-Sate.
The second game was all KU and Dave Steigemeier. Steigemeier, a sophomore southpaw,

Cal Simmons, Overland Park sophomore, and Tim Williams, Hong Kong, junior, were double winners.

evened his pitching record at 2-2 with a brilliant three-hit performance. Jayhawk coach Floyd Temple termed Steigemeier's performance as "tremendous."
The big hitter for KU Friday was John Riggins. Dividing his time this spring between football and baseball, Riggins went into the game hitting only 185 but collected five hits in seven trips to the plate against the K-State pitching. Another bright spot offensively for KU was catcher Larry Matson. The Oklahoma City junior had a perfect day at the plate collecting three hits in three attempts during the two games. Matson had only one hit this season prior to Friday.
Saturday's third game of the series was cancelled due to the downpour of rain. KU has now won seven and lost four overall with a record of 2-3 in conference play.
