Oklahoma State favored as Big 8 golf starts today
By MIKE EARLE
Snorts Writer
Defending Big Eight and NCAA champion Oklahoma State University is expected to win the men's conference golf tournament as play gets underway today. For the third straight year, the tournament is at Alvamar Hills Country Club.
Only once since 1985 has any team other than Oklahoma State won the Big Eight golf championship. Colorado did it in 1988. KU Coach John Hanna said he didn't expect the Cowboys to win this year without a struggle.
"They ran away and from everybody last year," Hanna said. "I don't think they'll do that this year because they both two great teachers of math are still divison, and hopefully as high as second
"IT'S VERY DIFFICULT to say that we'll
beat Oklahoma State, but you like to think that on any given day we any tournament.
If it would be difficult to say that Oklahoma State could be beaten and it would be better to say that it would be better.
In addition to dominate the Big Eight since 1958, the CBoybows have won the NCAA championship three times and have been selected in the national tournament three NCAA individual medalists: Ab Justice in 1958, and present PGA members Grier Jones in 1968, and Dave Edwards in 1972.
In winning the NCAA tournament at Eugene, Ore., last year, the Cowboys broke the NCAA record of 8-under-par set by the Kansas State team. The wins shot blistering rounds of 71-49-69 to win

and Linda Miller, who won Big Eight
meetment honors last year, Hanna said to
their daughter.
"They probably lost it the finest collegiate players in Miller and Edwards." Hanna said. "They both got their pro tour on the first time they tried, and that isn't easy."
"They're a lot more beatable this year, but they're still very strong."
Returning for the Cowboys are Britt Harrison, Joe Bowl and Bob Tswall. All wereurters last season.
Harrison, a long-biting senior with a 27.2 stroke average, was second team All-American and in last year's NCAA tournament tied Alarcron for 13th place. Alarcron, a junior, averaged 68.7 strokes in six autumn outings this year. Twy, who is a sopho-
ALTHOUGH THE Cowbys appear to be the tournament favorites, Hanna said the Jayhawks might enjoy the early home course advantage over some of the field.
"The advantage is there, but once you play a course once or twice, and determine what to do next," she says.
"Anybody that plays a course a number of times will become accustomed to it, and have a bit of an advantage. But the home course advantage is less here than it would be any place else because the course is in very good condition." Hanna said.

Colorado, led by sophomore letterman Steve Jones, a third place finisher in the Big Eight last year, and freshman Rick Cramer, a prized recruit from Fort Collins, could make a bid for a strong finish in team standings.

KANAS CITY, Mo. —Al Oair smashed a solo humber to help the Texas Rangers take a wet 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals last night. Oliver drove a Dennis Leonard pitch into the wind and rain over the center field wall to give Texas a 3-1 lead and drop the Royals' righthander to 3- on the year.
Excessive injuries forced cancellation of the game, traditionally the closing of spring drills, the past two years. However, Don Fambrough, head coach, said this year's game could be held because there had been few injuries in spring practice.
