If Hosking is psyched... look out
EU and
Arthera
By ERIC MARTINCICH
Until two weeks ago, Mark Hosking didn't believe in a sophomore hit. Now, he's
Hosking started this year's tennis season by winning 11 of his first 12 matches in the No. 2 singles position for KU. Since then however, the 6-4 sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., has gone into a slump, winning only three of his last six matches.
NEITHER HOSKING nor his coach.
"I'm not at all satisfied with the way I’ve been playing," Hosking said yesterday. "I'm in a slump." I've lost to guys that I just shouldn't have lost to."
Sports
Kirkland Gates, seem too worried about Hoskine's skid.
"His only problem is that he can't get psyched for all of his matches, and consequently, he has lost to some inferior plavers." Gates said.
When Hokking is in form, be prepared for some good tennis. As a freshman last season, he won the conference's No. 3 doubles title, and will play in the season with an impressive 23-6 record.
At No. 2 position this season, sophomore Hosking has put together a 144 record and
BESIDES BEING' ONE of the strongest singles players at KU. Hosking has teamed up with Bill Clarke, No. 1 singles player, to the area of one doubles team in 'the area
is the favorite to win the Big Eight No. 2 singles championship.
"We've lost a couple, but if we can beat
Oklahoma I really think that we can win the
court."
Hooking came to KU after winning the championship in 1974. He had just one other scholarship offer besides the KU offered—from Northwestern Missouri State
"I was naive about recruiting," Hosking readily adduits, "I didn't write a lot of letters or visit any campuses, so I didn't get many offers.
"AT FIRST I was skeptical about coming to KU, but now I love it. I think we have a good program and a team that is capable of winning."
With two years ahead of him Hooking probably will inherit the No. 1 spot from Clarke, who is leaving at the end of the season at the position won't be weakened by the change.
"Bill and Mark play on the same par," Gates said of his No. 1 and No. 2 players. ("The only reason Bill is playing No. 1 now because he has more experience than Mark. I feel as these are two of the best players KU has ever had."
Wichita swim coach to succeed Reamon
The six-week search for a new men's swimming coach at the University of Kansas ended yesterday with Athletic Department主任 Dust Roulqn had been appointed.
Spain, who has coached the Wichita Swim Club for the past five years, succeeds Dick Reason, who resigned from the Wichita Swim Club. Reason will enter private business. Reason will enter private business.
"There were many outstanding applicants from throughout the country," Walker said. "Bill Spahn, however, clearly showed experience and knowledge we are looking for."
"He is well respected by his peers throughout the country and has coached some of our current swimmers. I am very pleased he has accepted the position."
Spahn, a 35-year old Austin, Minn..
native, was graduated from Texas Tech University in 1964 where he received a bachelor's degree in physical education. He was captain of the swim team there as a
He coached eight years at the club level in New Mexico before moving to Wichita.
"I'm really thrilled and excited about the opportunities at KU," Spahn said. "KU is an outstanding academic institution with a sound athletic program. I feel I can continue the fine swimming program Dick Reamon has built."
At Wichita, Spahn's teams have won four straight Missouri Valley AAU indoor and outdoor championships. The Wichita Swim Club also has won four titles in the nation's outdoor titles under him. Many of Spahn's swimmers have placed in national meets.
Jayhawks start play in Kansas tournament
The Kansas Jayhawks are scheduled to play Kansas Wesleyan at 1:00 p.m. today in the Kansas Baseball Tournament at Manhattan. Kansas Wesleyan replaced the Ravens as a conflict in the Ravens' schedule forced them to drop out of the tournament.
The Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes, coached by Dan Flanagan, enter the tournament with 22 record. They have split wholehearted University College and Friends University.
Kansas Wesleyan's top hitter is Terry Bott, with a 500 average for the four games.
"Terry is really pounding the ball," Flanagan said. "In fact, we have four or five guys who are hitting well, but the rest of the team isn't hitting its weight."
KU coach Floyd Temple can sympathize with Flanagan. The Jayhawks have four
muters with averages above .300, paced by
third baseman Lee Ice's .373. But the
'Hawks also have three starters hitting
below .180.
Dave Rusch (3-1) will pitch for KU. Rush, a left-hander from Fargo, N.D., has posted a 2.25 A earned Run Average in four complete games.
The Coyotes will counter with Dave Brown, who shut out Sterling in his only appearance this season. Last year Brown was their top pitcher with an 8-40 record.
The winner of the KU-Kansas Wesleyan game will play the winner of the Emporia game.
In yesterday's first round action, Marymount defeated Kansas State, 64, and Washburn extended its winning streak to seven games with a 6-3 win over Bethany.
ARLINGTON, Tex. (UPI)—The Texas Rangers extended infielder Lennie Randle's suspension to April 27 and penalized him $23,407.90 yesterday for his "reprehensible, unjustified" assault of manager Frank Lucchesi last month in Orlando, Fla.
"The Rangers" officials knew exactly what had happened. Neuheimer said from Phoenix. "I ammy already had apologized to Lucien and his teammates. They had all done it."
Randle suspended, fined
Lucchee wasn't present at the hearing not at yesterday's new conference when the doctor insisted that it be delayed.
Randle wasn't present or represented at a hearing Monday at Arlington Stadium.
Richard Neubeisel, Randle's attorney, said that if the six-year veteran was dissatisfied with Rangers' decision he would right to appeal. Friday before an arbitrator in Baltimore.
