By DIANE FILIPOWSKI
Staff writer
The tables have turned for the Kansas men's track team.
The team, which competed without its best athletes during the indoor season because of injuries and could only manage a fourth-place finish at Eight Conference Indoor championships, seems to be making a comeback.
Kansas won three events and placed second in another Friday and Saturday for one of its best showings in recent years at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
Rick Attick, assistant men's coach,
said the Jayhawks had an individual
win an event at the Drake Relays for
the first time in about five years.
Kansas' David Bond found a crowd of 18,000, sunny skies and 80 degree weather to be the perfect conditions for a victory in the triple jump. Bond, who jumped 53.8, also qualified for the NCAA championships.
Bond is the sixth Jayhawk to qualify for the national championships June 3-6 in Baton Rouge, La.
"I should have qualified a long time ago," it said. "It's a relief to know that I amgnit."
Bond was not able to jump most of the indoor season because of a heel injury, which he said no longer bothered him.
Scott Huffman also added a victory for Kansas with a vault of 17-53% in the pole vault. Teammate Chris Bohan finished third with a vault

of 17-1.
Kansas had an equally impressive showing in the javelin. Rohm Bahm was Kansas' other winner with a throw of 221- 21. Freshman Vince Labsohy followed in third-place with a throw of 213- 7.
Kansas' second-place finish came in the 440-meter shotle hurdles relay. Craig Branstrom, Mike Muller, and Kevin Johnson finished with a time of 59.5 seconds.
Three other Jayhawks recorded fifth-place finishes. They included Mike Rich, with a jump of 24-5 in the long jump; Hawkins, with a 14-24 time in the 110-meter high hurdles; and Johnny Brackins, with a 50-1
finish in the triple jump.
Suggs also set a meet record in the discus with a throw of 194-1. Buchanan was fourth with a throw of 156-1.
Denise Buchanan recorded the highest showing for Kansas' women's team with a second-place finish in the shot put with a throw of $ 50 - 9^{1/2}. $ Kansas State's Pinkie Suggs won the event with a throw of $ 55 - 6^{1/2}. $ a new meet record.
Two other Jayhawks placed, including Cynthea Rhodes, who was fourth in the triple jump with a leap of 39.8, and Ann O'Connor, who was third in the high jump at 5-10.
Carla Coffey, women's coach, said "Oconor did well considering the need for change."

Collegians should get money, Stewart says
The Associated Press
"I think we should do more finacily for them," Stewart said. "And we would do that in proper fashion."
LAKE OZARK, Mo. — Missouri basketball Coach Norm Stewart said Saturday that he would like to see athletes in revenue-producing sports receive $50 to $100 a month in spending money.
Stewart. The Associated Press' 1887 Big Eight Coach of the Year, made his remarks in response to questions at the spring meeting of the Missouri Associated Press Managing Editors. He was elaborating on a question about the size of the 64 team NCAA Division I basketball tournament.
He said that the tournament was
making a significant income and that some of that money should be given to the athletes. Schools received more than $1 million each for reaching the 1987 Final Four.
Under current NCAA rules, athletes can receive room and board, tuition and books, but no incidental fees.
"No. 1, I think they should take some of the money off the top and ensure the kids that played in the tournament get a degree," Stewart said. "Maybe it would be a fifth or sixth year for some to graduate, or maybe it would be some money for them to go back and get their master's degree."
"I would like to see some of the money used for the players. I hope
'I would like to see some of the money used for the players. I hope they do something about that, instead of taking away two scholarships.'
Stewart was referring to an NCAA decision to cut Division I basketball scholarships from 15 to 13. The cutbacks, which were passed at the 1987 NCA convention, will become effective in the fall of 1988 unless changed by further legislation.

Stewart also was asked if the success of basketball programs at St. Louis University and Southwest Missouri last season affected the Missouri program. St. Louis University went to the National Invitation Tournament and Southwest Missouri plowed in the NCAA tournament.
"This state doesn't offer large numbers of Division I athletes who can step in and compete at the national level," Stewart said.
they do something about that, instead of taking away two scholarships."
Kansas Crew team 2nd in medal count at Wisconsin meet
By DIANE FILIPOWSKI Staff writer
The Kansas Crew team returned to Lawrence yesterday to celebrate its second-place finish over the weekend at the Midwestern Rowing Championships in Madison, Wis., before Coach Cliff Elliott was able to.
But Elliott said yesterday from a truck stop in Eagleville, Mo., that he was happy with the team's performance, even though his truck, which was pulling the team's boats back home, had broken down.
Wisconsin, the defending national champion, again dominated the 31-team field winning 14 medals, eight gold, four silver and two bronze. Kansas finished second in the medal count with four medals, three gold and one silver.
Purdue finished third with four medals. one silver and three bronze.
the Jayhawks, the men's lightweight eight-man boat and the men's novice lightweight eight man boat. All three women won the women's owen single race.
The varsity women's eight-man boat recorded the Jayhawks only second-place finish.
"The competition was much better this year, and we still managed to come in second," Elliott said. "I'm really pleased with our first-place finishes."
Elliott said the novice men's lightweight and heavyweight and the women's open and varsity boats would compete on Friday and Saturday at the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelhia.
Elliott said he thought the novice men's and women's four-man boats could have had better finishes.
He said high waters on the Kansas River last week prevented the team from getting adequate practice time.
The women's novice four-man and eight-man boats and men's novice four-man boat all finished fourth this weekend.
Other Kansas boats that placed included the men's varsity eight-man, sixth, and the men's novice eight-man, seventh.
In the consolation heats, KU's women's novice eight-man finished fourth, the men's novice eight-man finished second and the varsity women's eight-man finished third.

With one out, catcher Joe Pfister hit a double that scored Byrn.
In the top of the seventh, Hinkle entered the game and did not allow a hit.
Mike McLeod started the game and went the first five innings before being replaced by Steve Renko in the sixth.
"he pitched well for five innings," pn said, "but he was tiring in the sixth." sxhK
"He had thrown a lot of pitches on Wednesday in the Wichita State game."
The only blemish for the Jayhawks yesterday was three errors committed by the usually sure-handed Scott Seratte.
"Late in the game I had to make some defensive changes because of the errors," Pattin said. "I don't like to do it, especially in close games because I like the kids to play in that situation."
On Saturday, Iowa beat Kansas 15-2 in the first game and 11-10 in the second game.
Pattin defensive changes occured in the eight when he put Tom Bilyeu at shortstop in place of Seratte and in the first half when A. C. Smith at second instead of Estes.
Bilyeu in the eighth helped turn the Jayhawks only double play of the game and ended a potential rally by Iowa.
In both games, the Hawkeyes pounded out 20 hits while Kansas managed a total of 21 hits in the two games combined.
Kansas will play a doubleheader
tomorrow in Emporia against Emporia State. Emporia State has been ranked in the NAIA top 10 all season.
But Pattin said, "We don't take a back seat to no one. When we put it altogether, we can beat anyone."
He said the team's goal was just to go out and win some games.
With 12 games remaining and 31 defeats, the team is in danger of losing more than 40 games for the Mets with 96-year history of Kansas baseball.
