Splits mark conference openers

MANHATTAN—The Kansas and Kansas State baseball teams play each other six times this season. The Tigers win five, Big Eight standings, and Kansan lost one of those Saturday. The team splits a doubleheader, with KU taking the first game, 12-4, and K-State winning the second.
KU and K-State were not the only teams to split Saturday, Missouri and Oklahoma, and Iowa State and Oklahoma State did the same. Nebraska was the only team to win conference play, defeating Colorado, weekend of conference play, defeating Colorado, KU's opponent today, 7-4 and 5-1.
This year, KU and K-State are in different divisions of the Big Eight baseball race, but a strong rivalry remains and many teams are upset at the outcome of the second game.
KANANS COACH Floyd Temple was disappointed in his team's pitching.
"If you don't get pitching," he said, "you don't win. We let them off the hook and they score five runs in the late innings of the first game. We lost our momentum for the second game. If you can't win with seven runs, you've got problems.
"We've had it easy so far, but we're going into our conference schedule. You gotta get there."
"If some of our people don't come around and start getting the ball across the plate, you might just see Mr. Worley in a starting role."
Galen Worley has traditionally been a short reliever for the 'Hawks. He came on in the last innings of the second game Saturday and got the last three outs, with one walk and a strikeout. Worley has a 0.68 ERA in 13 and one third innings, the best on the team.
THE FIRST GAME was almost a laugher, as KU scored eight runs before K-State got a base hit Terry Sutcliffe started for the team with three hits and one run against Alexander, K-State third baseman, stroked
a hot grounder past the mound in the bottom of the fifth.
Four KU players hit home runs, tying a school record set in 1971. Job Sportswould led off the game with a homer and Matt Browning hit three double-figure shots Martin added their later. Gudgiefinger hit another in the second game, bringing his season tailed to seven, two short of the triple-double he had on both.
The second game did not go as well for the Jayhawks. Kevin Kerschen started for KU and gave up five runs on six hits in three innings. Clayton Fleeman got the loss, giving up the winning run on a triple by Jeff Stapleton, KState second baseman, in the fifth.
Track placings elusive in Texas
The men's track team left Austin, Texas,
Saturday with little more than it came with.
All of the Jayhawks had to show for the 12th run of the Texas Hooligans were one third better.
"We didn't do much," KU coach Bob Timmons said. "We all disappointed."
The 1.600-meter relay team captured the
three-place finish, with a 3.97 sec clocking.
finishing behind Texas and Baylor. That mark, recorded by Kevin Newell, Tommy McCall, Stan Whitaker and Lester Mickens, will be for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
A freshman, Sanya Owolabi, captured a three-wince place, jumping 50-4 in the triple jump.

Exhibition sets KU v. Rovals
The Kansas City Royals have tentatively scheduled an exhibition game with the University of Kansas baseball team for April 18 at 1 a.m. at Rovals Stadium.
Royals manager Whitey Harris is expected to start Steve Busby at pitcher and to keep his usual starting line-up in the game for at least the two innings.
"We're ticked to play them," KU coach Floyd Temple said Saturday. "I think one reason they want to play us is to give Busyhawk a chance to prove we can if we can help Busy, we're going to do it."
Busy has been suffering from a lingering shoulder injury since the 1975 season. He underwent surgery in 1976 to repair a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder.
"Of course, it's a great thrill for our kids," temple said. "Not many kids get a thrill like mine."
