14 Friday, February 26, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Tennis teams face hard road trip By Tom Stinson Kansan sports writer The Kansas men's and women's tennis teams are getting used to spending their weekends away from home. This weekend will be no exception. The Jayhawk men, who are ranked 24th nationally, will play in Madison, Wis., tonight against Illinois. Tomorrow, they will play Southern Illinois—Edwardsville; and Sunday, they will play Kansas, the fourth weekend the Kansas men have played on the road since late January. The Kansas women will compete in the Oklahoma State Invitational this weekend in Stillwater. They will play Tulsa tonight, Tyler Junior College tomorrow and New Mexico on Sunday. This will mark the third straight year that Texas plays in the NCAA. Women's coach Eric Hayes said that the women were ready to compete after not having played last weekend. The Jayhawks will not play defending Big Eight Conference champion and tournament host Oklahoma State because of league matches already scheduled for April. "This will be stiff competition for us," Hayes said. "New Mexico is one of the top teams in the region. "These will also be the first outdoor matches we've played this season. And with the weather like it has been, we haven't practiced too much outside yet. But we've had two weeks of practice, and the girls are ready to Playing for the women in singles will be senior Tracy Treps, junior Janetelle Jonsson, junior Susie Berglund, senior Marie Hibbard and freshmen Michele Balsom and Mindy Pelz. play." The doubles teams will pair Treps with Jonsson, Hibbard with Pelz, and Berglund with freshman Stacy Stotts. "Illinois and Wisconsin are very Men's coach Scott Perelman said that the Jayhawks' first trip to Wisconsin would provide good competition and a chance to try different doubles teams. The matches will be played in one of the premiere indoor tennis facilities in the country, the Nielson Center. much improved in the Big 10," Perelman said. "Last weekend off gave us a chance to change our doubles play. I haven't been pleased with its recent results. Our new teams can be as good or better than before, but you don't know until you try." Against Michigan and Miami of Ohio, both Jayhawks teams won only two doubles matches combined. Perelman said that to compete well against quality squads, a team must win at least two of the three doubles matches. The new doubles teams will be sophomore Chris Walker with freshman John Falbo, sophomore Craig Wildey with junior Jim Secrest, and senior Reggie Hodges with senior Larry Pascal. Baseball team will look for its own style in three weekend games against Arkansas Bv Tom Stinson Kansan sports writer Kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham wants a point of reference for his team. He wants his team to establish its own personality and its own style of play. This weekend, the Jayhawks will get a chance to begin to shape their personality. Kansas will play Arkansas in a double-header tomorrow in Fayetteville and then in a single game on Tuesday. Kansas will face fourth in the Baseball America Magazine national poll and are consistently ranked among the top 10 in other national polls. "We've been working out against ourselves for seven months." Bingham said. "Now we need a point of reference with an opponent." Establishing their own style of play is crucial for the Jayhawks, Bingham said. Kansas will use a pressure offense, including bunting and stealing to create a pressure game in the Jayhawks favor. Arkansas is coming from a 1-2 weekend against Arizona, losing both games by one run. Bingham said the Razorbacks would be hungry for a victory. Arkansas is hitting .348 as a team and in five games has hit eight home runs. "They have two quality pitchers, but their other pitchers are shaky, and they are a good power-hitting team," Bingham said. "So I expect a strong offense and defense from them but some unsettled pitching." The starting pitchers for Kansas tomorrow will be junior Scott Taylor and sophomore Steve Renko. Sophomore Tom Bilyeu will pitch on Sunday. Bingham said the Jayhawks were not into their rhythm of play yet, mainly because of the lack of outside movement. The Bingham did require some time for adjustment. "We're not quite as good as we were at the end of the fall," said Bingham. "But it takes time to get back into your rhythm." Kansas' first home game will be Tuesday at 2 p.m. against Washburn at Hogland-Maupin Stadium. KU track teams hope to finish higher than predicted at Big 8 Championship By Keith Stroker Kansan sports writer The women's 60-meter hurdles, at 9 a.m. today, is the first event in the 60th annual Big Eight Conference Indoor Track Championships at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Neb. The two-day meet involves both the men's and women's track teams from each of the eight conference schools. Both the Nebraska men's and women's track teams were picked to finish first by a poll of conference coaches. The Kansas men were picked seventh, and the Kansas women were picked to finish in a fourth place tie with Oklahoma State. Jayhawks women's coach Cliff Poten-tial to dash harder, then move potent-ly to crash harder. "I think our potential for scorers is higher than Missouri," Rovello said of the Tigers, who were picked third. "It is going to be really close between us and Kansas State for second place." The Kansas women are led by one of their three captains, Ann O'Connor. O'Connor will participate in the heptathlon and the open high jump. Five events make up the heptathlon: the 60-meter hurdles, the high jump, the long jump, the shot put, and the 800-meter run. "There won't be many participants in the heptathlon," O'Connor said. "I won the event last year, but it will be tough to repeat." To qualify for the NCAA indoor O'Connor high jumped 5'10" on Jan. 17 at the AAU Missouri Valley Open in Lawrence. It was the second-best jump in the conference this year, behind Nebraska's Tammy Thurman, who jumped 6'1 $\frac{1}{4}$ " on Feb. 12. championships, O'Connor will need to jump 5'11 "4". Kansas men's track coach Bob higher, than his predictor could finish. "The coaches have picked us seventh, but none of us thinks we're a seventh-place team," Timmons said. "We're going to finish higher than we're picked. I know our athletes and the coaches are enthusiastic about it." Senior Sharripp Hazim is one of the leaders on the Kansas men's track team. He will participate in the high jump and the long jump. 1988 OSCAR NOMINATION BEST ACTOR FINAL PERFORMANCES FRIIDAY *5:30 7:30 9:30 SUNDAY *3:30 Only DOWNTOWN May 21 642 Mass 749 1912 100 Permanent—Part-time early evening and weekend positions available today! $5/$6 Hour Guaranteed Plus Bonuses and Incentives Join a fast growing firm that's expanding in the Lawrence area that needs motivated people who are interested in earning excellent base wages, cash bonuses, and incentives while working part-time.
