4-game series a must for KU
Kansas has to sweep four games from Iowa State University this weekend have a realistic chance of finishing high enough in its division to go to the Big Ten.
The Jayhawks and the Cyclones meet tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 at Quigley Field in the first of two weekend doubleheaders. They will finish the series at 4:25.
"We created the pressure ourselves by not beating Colorado and Kansas State when we should have," KU coach Floyd Temple said earlier this week. "And we lost one game, but they were tied and won three those, we would be tied for second instead of last."
The first two teams in the division go to the post-season tournament in Oklahoma City. KU and ISU are tied for third at 6-4. Nebraska leads at 11-1 and Missouri is second with a 9-3 conference record. ISU coach Clair Criers said he also
ISU coach Clair Rierson said he also bowed to finish in the top two.
"Hopfully for us, NU will sweep the rest of its games." Rierson said. "Both KU and we are hoping to knock off Missouri and move into second place."
ISU would have to sweep Kansas for that to happen. The Cyclones lost four at Nebraska last weekend.
"We thought we were pretty good until last weekend," Rierson said. "Right now, if we have a problem, it's with our four and five hitters. Greg Lempke has hit some home runs, but lately he's had driving trouble in them. And Jeff Trunberger has been his best biter over the past few weeks. What's hurting us the most is his inability to drive in runs when we need them."
KU HAD its own problems at the plate when it faced Missouri last weekend. Things may improve, however, because a home run hitter, probably will be back in the lineup. He has seen limited action in the past two weeks because of a sprained wrist.
"We're going to play him no matter what," Temple said yesterday. "He should be pretty close to full speed."
The Jayhawks will need all the hitting possible to make it into the Big Eight tournament. Their final conference games are next weekend with Nebraska. The last regular-season games will be played on a conference-coference-break leader with K-State.
"The baseball season is winding down," Temple said yesterday. "I just hope it doesn't end on the eighth."

Tracksters eye final relay stop

Another KU freshman, Sanya Owolabi, hopes to help his name to the list of qualifiers this weekend. Owolabi, however, will be in Philadelphia for the Penn Relays, competing there with KU's decathon entry Steve Rainbolt.
Two down and one to. That's how the Midwest Reliance circuit joins this weekend.

With the Texas and Kansas relays completed, the final one, the 70th edition of the Drake Relays, is tomorrow and Saturday in Des Moines, KU. Will make the trip after a year's absence because of assorted injuries and ailments last spring.
Kevin Newell, an instrumental figure in the 440 and 880 victories and runner-up for the outstanding performer honors, will run in their metric counterparts, the 400- and 800-meter relays. Lester Mickens, Tim Dugan and the 400-squad. The lineup is the same in the 800 except Deon Hogan is scheduled to run in Jones' spot.
"We're looking forward to returning to Drake," head track coach Bob Timmons said. "We feel that the sprint relay should be representative but the field should be touch."
Last year Owolabi, a New York native who was named prep athlete of the-year by Track and Field News, had one of his best seasons. He was the best in the triple jump in the outdoor season is 51-24% and the NCAA standard is 60-37%. In the indoor season, however, he teased 9-24%.
Timmons has good reason to be looking forward to Drake. Last week in the Kansas Relays, KU snapped a three-year dry spell in batron races on the Midwest circuit. KU snared the 440-yard, 880-yard and mile relay crowns.
Newell, who whipped former Big Eight great John Garrison, William Snoody and Clifford Wilson in the open 100-meter dash at Stanford with an impressive variational 100-meter dash. His rivals will include Texas & A&M standout Curtie Dickey or State University's Mike Robertson.
"I'm more worried about Robertson," Newell said, even though Dickey has lost the tie. "And I think that is the reason."
Newell's 10-43 clocking in the last week last qualified the three-time All-American for the NCAA championship.
years. "He does nothing all year but in this meet."
KU's other qualifiers are Anthony Coleman, who is sidelinesed with a sore hamstring, in 110-meter hurdles; Mickens and Hogan in the 400; and Jeff Buckingham in the pole vault and the 1,600-meter and mile relay teams.
Mickens, Newell, Tommy McCall and Stan Whitaker run on the 1,600 team, and Hogan, Mickens, McCall and Whitaker run on the mile relay squad.
At Drake, freshman pole vaulter
Buckingham is favored against several 17-foot vaulters. Leading this team is Abillean Christian's NAIA champ Billy Olson, who has a 17-4% career best. Buckingham's best is 17.8, but he has defeated Olson in

Injuries hamper tennis chances
An alling KU women's tennis team will participate in the Missouri Valley tennis tournament today through Saturday in Columbia, Mo.
Kansas, defending state champion, will host the Association of Intercollegiate
"We'd have a great shot at winning it if we didn't have problems with injuries," he added. "I don't think I'd be able to do that."
The Missouri Valley tournament consists of two singles divisions and one doubles division. Each team's top four players are entered in the championship division. The fifth and sixth players are grouped in a separate bracket.
The Jayhawks won the tournament in 1976 and placed second in 1977, but Kivisto said he did not expect his squad to finish at the Cup. He said it would be Carrie Fotopolus and Lissa Leonard.
FOTOPOULOS, KU'S N. 1 player, aggravated a shoulder injury during the Big Eight conference tournament two weeks ago and probably will play only doubles.
Leonard jammed a finger in practice this past week, an injury that Kivisto said had impaired her ability to volley. He said he could do the game better on champion, probably would play only singles.
The injury to Fotopoulos forced KU to move everyone up one position in singles, Kivisto said. The player most hurt by this would be Kathy Merrion, who was taken out of the tournament's lower division and placed in the No. 4 slot.
"I think Kathy could have won the smaller division," Kivisto said.

Athletics for Women regional tournament May 10-12.
Tomorrow and Saturday, KU will try to defend its title in the state AIAW journey in Oklahoma.
However, no matter how the Jayhawks are in Toptea, they automatically qualify for the Region Six tournament because they are the host team. KU, therefore, actually is playing for a better seeding in the regional tournament, which is why Stancliff is
"WEVE GOT TO be the favorites," Stancillock said, "but knowing you don't have to win takes away the edge. We're just playing for seeding purposes.
The first test in the double elimination tournament is 12:30 tomorrow afternoon
against the winner of the morning's Pittsburgh State University-Friends University contest. Depending on the outcome of a play either at 5 or at 8 tomorrow evening.
The three other teams in KU's half of the bracket are Wichita State, which KU swept in a double-header Tuesday, Fort Hays State and Benedictine.
In the second section, Emporia State is favored over Washburn, Bethany, Marymount, Baker, St. Mary's of the Plains and Kansas State.
If KU does snare the state championship, the next highest finish also qualifies for the Region Six tournament. If the 'Hawks are first, the state champion also qualifies.
