Tennis team to get no rest over break
By James Larson
Sports writer
Playing tennis in California might sound like a great spring break vacation, but the Kansas men's and women's tennis teams are going there just to take care of business.
Assistant tennis coach Charles Stearns, who made the trip last year as a player, said there wasn't much time for anything but tennis.
"We never go to the beach, never go to the strip or anything like that." he said. "People who think we go to fool around are crazy. We work."
Tracy Treps, the women's No. 1 singles player, remembered how it was for her last year.
"By the fourth match you have to fight to keep from giving up," she said. "I know I have a hard week in front of me."
Larry Pascal will be going to California for the second time. He has no illusions about what is about to happen.
"It's one of the most rigorous teni- weeks I've been through," he said.
Both teams will play a match every day, and the competition will be some of the toughest in the country. The men's team will play eight matches, four of them against teams in the top 25, including No. 1 Pepperdine and No. 5 University of California,
Los Angeles. The women will play six matches during the week, including a match against No. 19 Pepperdine.

Head coach Scott Perelman said that for many on his team, the experience was like playing on the professional tour because of the grueling pace and the high caliber competition.
"Southern California is the mecca of American tennis," he said. "Some of the greatest players in the world developed out of there. They even have great junior college teams."
The men's and women's teams have similar schedules, Perelman said. All they do is eat, sleep and play tennis, he said.
Sometimes dinner is the only time they have to relax, Perelman said.
Treps said there were a lot of good restaurants in Southern California.
"We eat at some great places," Treps said. "In L.A., we ate at a Chinese restaurant and we all had a great time. For lunch, it's fast-food places, but for dinner we usually go to some pretty nice places."
The men's team will leave today. The women's team will follow tomorrow. The day after their arrival in Los Angeles, the teams will have a light practice and a team meeting.

"When I asked for a reason, I was told it was because of our record," said Hill, who had a 37-47 mark in three seasons as head coach at Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska women's basketball Coach Kelly Hill said yesterday that she was asked to resign from the post and planned to pursue another job in coaching.

Royal complies with order
America about the dangers and pains related to drug involvement. It is also my desire to put this matter behind me and to concentrate all my efforts and energies to prepare myself to help the Royals repeat as world champions."
Under the commissioner's terms, Smith must donate 10 percent of his reported $850,000 salary to drug prevention programs, donate 100 hours of community service in each of the next two years and agree to random drug testing for the remainder of his career.
Smith underwent voluntary drug rehabilitation in 1882 when he was with the St. Louis Cardinals.
