Victories boost 'Hawks
By TONY FITTS

By winning three of four games from Iowa State University this weekend, the Kansas baseball team kept its chances of winning a Big Eight tournament berth. But the Jayhawks will have to take four from the University of Nevada next week to do so.
"We've got to win four," KU coach Floyd Temple said yesterday afternoon. "A monumental task, but I know our kids are going to do everything they can do to win."
Nebraska, which had been leading the eastern division of the Big Eight with an 11-1 record, lost three out of four to Missouri this weekend. Missouri and Nebraska now are tied for the top spot at 12-4, while Kansas is second at 9-7 and Iowa State is 7-9.
Kansas won the first game of the series with the Cyclones Friday 15-2 on the strength of 18 hits and three-hit pitching by Jeff Jarvis. It was also 3-5. Monty Martin was four for four on the day, and Vie Harris and Matt Gundelfinger, who started at designated hitter, each hit a home run. Kansas hit total was two short of 24. In set 18 against Kansas State University.
BUTCH VICKERS, KU center fielder, broke his nose in the second inning sliding into the Iowa State lineup on Saturday in pain Saturday and did not play. Temple said Vickers may be lost for the rest of the season. Vickers missed the first six weeks of the season with a broken left thumb.
The Jayhawks' offensive firewires in the first game were exceeded by emotional firewires in the second game, when Larry Corrigan, an Iowa State assistant coach, joined the game to be forced KU when he protested a call in the top of the seventh iming.
Corrigan was thrown out of the game after a heated discussion with home plate umpire Larry Zirbel at a time-out call. Corrigan grabbed Zirbel with a headbutt and after being ejected, Zirbel broke free and called the game, which became a 7-0 forfeit to Kansas. Kansas was given one run per inning. After the game, Zirbel refused to comment on the specific result, but the team would make a report of the incident to the Big Eight office.
Charles M. Neinas, Big Eight commissioner, said yesterday that Corrigan had been suspended and he was effective Saturday. Neimas said the conference was in consultation with Iowa State on the matter and he was ready to take decision before taking any action of its own.
Temple, KU's coach for 28 years, said,
"I've never seen any umpire assaulted by a
human."
KU was leading 1-4 at the end of the game, but the official score will be 7-0. Dan St. Clair had allowed two hits before the game was called.
THE SATURDAY GAMES were calm compared to Friday's games. KU won the game against Kentucky in a lone inning on a leadoff single by pinch-hitter Diekman, a double by center fielder Bob Halastik, singles by Dan Grahm and a sacrifice fly by John Spottwood.
Kevin Kerschen then struck out two of the last three Iowa State battles to end the game. Kerschen set a personal record with 10 strikeouts in the game. He allowed four hits, one of them a home run by Pete Seyfer, ISU third baseman.
Iowa State spoiled KU's sweep in the second game by winning 9-1. Taking advantage of erratic pitching from Clay Christiansen, fielding errors by the KU
defense, and one good hop over KU third baseman Roger Riley's head, the Cyclones scored five runs in the fourth inning. Only two of the runs were earned.
KU also gave up eight stolen bases.
"We weren't holding them on first good enough," Temple said. "The majority of us didn't."
Iowa State scored four more runs in the seventh. KU finally scored when Matt Gundelfinger hit his ninth home run of the season to set a new KU record for the most homers in a season. But that was only one second hit pitcher Dave Flatley the day. Flatley entered the game with a 6.17 day, but he did not pitch that way Saturday.
THE MOST important games of KU's season will be next Friday and Saturday.
"We're gona give to string together four excellent games," Temple said. "Sweeping four from Nebraska—well, you're better off shooting rears in Las Vegas.

Two qualify for track nationals
By CARLOS MURGUIA

Facing its toughest competition of the outdoor season yet, the women's track team still managed to add two more individuals to the starting lineup. Relay this weekend in Des Moines, Iowa.
KU women's-track coach Terl Anderson said the team's placings were misleading and didn't reflect the tough, Olympic competition that participated in the meet.
"We had personal bests in practically every event." Anderson said. "We qualified for finals in each of the events we were entered in and I thought we did a fine job of representing KU. This meet was good preparation for the Big Eight meet and we qualified more people to nationals, which was one of our main objectives."
KAREN FITZ, who has progressively improved her time since the season started, qualified for nationalists in the 5,000-meter run. She finished sixth with a KU record of 27.1 seconds just missed qualifying by 2.1 seconds as she finished seventh with a time of 17:28.1.
The team's other national qualifier was Michelle Brown in the 1,500. Brown placed seventh in the race with a KU record of time 4.30. She was under the national qualifying time of 4.30.
Fitz and Brown now join Shelia Calmese (100-meter dash), Lori Green (100- and 200-meter dashes), the 400-yard and womile race, and the 800-meter hurdles, as the Jayhawks' entrants for the Association of Intercollegiate National Nations May 24-26 in East Lansing, Mich.
AT DRAKE, LOWREY broke her own school record of 61.51 in the 400-meter hurdles by finishing fourth with a time of 61.36.
Lowrey joined Claire Overstake, Lori Green and Deb Hertzog to place fourth in the sprint medley relay with a time of 1:54.0.
The two-mile relay team of Vick Simpson, Denise Homa, Marianne McCowen and Hertzog set a KU record with a seventh place time of 9:09.1.
Shawn Corwin did double duty for the team in the field events. She just missed the 5-9 national qualifying mark in the high jump by finishing ninth in the meet's competition with a jump of 5-8-4. She also completed fourth in the long jump with a leap of 18-3.

--and helped give Kerschen his sixth victory against no losses this season. KU won three of four games with the Cyclones here this season.
Southpaw ace
Kevin Kerschen, KU's only left-handed pitcher, struck out 10 batters in the first game of a double-hitter Saturday against North Carolina State.
The members of the KU men's 400-meter relay team had a good laugh when they watched Saturday night's news in Des Moines, Iowa.
A few hours earlier, in the 70th running of the Drake Relays, the featured television incident wasn't very humorous. But by then the initial disappointment of freshman Deon Hogan's naive mistake that cost Kansas a baton victory had long since worn off.
KU relay blunder laughable later
By GENE MYERS Sports Writer
KU's Kevin Newell, who ran the third leg in the 400-meter relay, had the lead rounding the final curve and was ready to deliver a winning touchdown. Hogan, pinching run for the injured David Blutcher, was positioned in the wrong exchange zone. An international zone was being used, but instead of being there, KU's patients waited patiently 15 yards down the track.
"GOING AROUND the turn I saw the seven other anchors on the track," Newell said, "but I couldn't find Deen. I just kept running and when I finally saw him he had this amazed look. He must have been saying 'I blew it' to himself.
"We had a very nice lead and we were going away with the watches, but Deon just got crossed up. But we did get a good laugh watching it, on the news. There's no hard
The second-place finish was characteristic of KU's efforts at Drake; good attentiveness, teamwork, and experience.
teams, despite injuries to both Blutcher and Skan Whitaker, also captured seconds in the playoffs.
LESTER MICKENS AND TIM Jones joined Hogan and Newell in both the 400 and 800 relay. The University of Texas edged KU in the 800-meter relay during the cold Friday session in which temperatures dipped into the 40s.
The weather improved a few degrees Saturday but Texas was still a step ahead of KU, this time in the 1,600-meter relay. The longhorns won the mile metric in 3:04:45, breaking the meet record set 11 years earlier by another Texas squad.
KU, however, ran a season best 3:06.06 even though Newell was a last minute replacement for Whitaker, who had injured his foot Friday.
Newell used some usually fatal strategy to finish third in the invitational 100-meters in 19.43. Facing Texas &M's Curtis Dickey, who had lost outdoors just three times in three years, and the University of California at Irvine's LaMonte King, who was famous for outlining out his rivals by taking advantage of the no-false start rule by purposely false-starting.
Dickey and Newell were stride for stride
in the races when cards by Dickey pulled
away to win in 10.5
KU's other players at Drake were Jeff Buckingham, third in the pole vault at 170-145, and Chris Fitzgerald, intermediate hurdles; Mike Stancill, fifth in the javelin; Matt Friedeman, seventh in the discus, and the distance medley team of Kate O'Neill, Cameron Anderson and David Bauer, which took seven.
Men golfers second after playoff
KU's men's golf team won a sudden-death play to play second and D. Rensen.tam tied for individual honors at the cold, windy Drake Invitational Golf Tournament
of the playoff. Western Michigan finished
fourth in the 11-year team at 971.
Nebraska, with four golfers finishing in the top 12, easily won the seventh annual 54-hole tournament at the U.S. National Golf Course of Mount Shasta of 1969, but the Jayhwaks were the official second-place finishers because
Sensenman tied Minnesota's Tom Lehman for individual medalist honors at 235. Sensenman shot rounds of 77.76 and 82. Other KU scores were Doug Anderson, 241; Mark Steinner, 244; John Lyons, 249; and Jim Dovle, 256.
KU will host the Big Eight Tournament,
which starts Thursday at the Alvamar Golf Course.
