Baseball begins again at Quigley
By GARY BEDORE

After a 13-game run in Texas, the baseball team man find Quigley Field a baseball park.
The Jayhawks, who finished their southern trip with a 8-4 record, begin their home season at 1 p.m. tomorrow with an against Washburn University of Topeka.
Coach Floyd Temple said the Jayhawks were happy to be home.
"When you're on a long road trip, you'll be playing out of a suitcase," he said. "You eat different cooking and sleep in different rooms, you eat at home with all the familiar surroundings."
THE JAYHAWKS hope that playing at home will improve their hitting, which has been erratic so far. Four players are hitting over .300, with Ron MacDonald leading the team at .357. But, as a team, the Hawks are ahead of them, having left 105 runners on base in 13 games.
One of the 300 hitters, Carl Heinrich (3.11), broke two KU career hitting records
in Texas last week. His 14 hits in 48 times at
bats were the most career hits, career
hits and at bats for KU players.
AGANST WASHURB, Kansas will be playing without Marty Hobbs, who suffered a leg injury midway into the Texas trip. His leg has been placed in a cast, and according to Temple, Hobbs will be out of the lineup three to four weeks.
Two other players, catcher-designated hitter Andy Gilmore and pitcher Greg Thurman, have been reinstated to the team after being suspended for the last three games. They were suspended for curfew violations.
KU's pitcher with the most wins on the trip, Dave Rush (2-1), is scheduled to pitch the first game against Washburn. The lethander transferred to KU this year from Colorado State to the Chicago Christian斯, a freshman righthander (1-2), will pitch the second game.
TEMPLATE PLANS to use a balance of left-handed and right-handed start pitchers for a 50-over season.
and Christianean, Brian Rhodes, a lefthander, and Greg Thurman, a righthander, will provide that balance. KU still has the right to use his lefthander and Rick Bordron, a righthander.
If last year is any indication, Washburn pitchers will need to maintain their pitching strength against Kansas. The Jayhawks last year, scoring 34 runs in the process.
Telemachia admitted he had knew little about wakburn, but he had a few general comments.
"they have a well-coached team, and we never can take them lightly," he said. "We lost a couple of games already to teams not as good as Washburn."
Rusch and Christiansen will face a team with some impressive hitting statistics. After only four games, Washimr has taken three six runs a game, and is hitting .304 in a team. Their pitching has also been strong as Washimr has complied a 1.93 E.R.A.
"We have a good indication that they urent them once as they were last year," with Kirkland.
The Jayhawks have a 6-12 record this year, and will face a much different OSU team from the one that beat them 7-2 last season in the Big Eight Championships. The Cowboys lost several key players who graduated and are now rebuilding.
He said that OSI was beaten by Wichita
defended equally twice earlier this morning.
ALTOHUG KU SHOULD be favored in
several areas Gates feels need improvement.
"We haven't proven ourselves at the bottom portion of our lineup," he said. "We've been strong at the no. 1 and no. 2. We have been strong at the no. 3, down the line if we are to win."
Jeff Thomas, 8-4, will play the 3. slot and Chet Collier, 6-5, will play the 4. Mats Eurenius, 5-7, and Joe Ruysser, 7-6, are in the 5. no and 6. positions.
Bill Clarke and Mark Haskins will play no 1, and no 2 positions. Clarke lings in the first position.
The atmosphere at the Dallas invitational
tomorrow will resemble that of
n SGA Chicago.
Among the schools scheduled to be on the track with the Jayhawks are Southwest Conference powerhouse Texas Texans and Texas Methodist. Add to that KU's toughest opponent in the Big Eight, Oklahoma, and the leading squad in the Southeast Conference,
ON TOP of all of these high caliber teams comes the defending NCAA outdoor champion, the University of Texas at El Paso.
The KU men's tennis team begins its outdoor season at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
Timmons worries more about his squand's lack of outdoor experience than he does with the girls, and that's why she's there.

Among the athletes who will appear in the star-studded field will be UTEE's Wilson Waigwa and Greg Joy, Waigwa, a member of the Kenyan Olympic team, is one of the makings milion in the world. Joy, from Canada, won the high jump at the NCAA meet.
But for the Kansas track team, it will be the season-opening outdoor meet. And that betrayed me.
Tough foes await KU at Dallas Invitational
"We haven't had as much time as these other schools have had to work outdoors," Timmons said. "We'll probably have just a couple of days to work on our relay handoffs, and there are the adjustments to the wind conditions and the windy conditions in the jump."
RUNNING IN the both 100- and 220-yard dashes for the Hawks will be junior Cliff Tennant, sophomore Kevin Newell and freshman Dave Blutter, both of whom qualified for the NCAA in the 60. Along with Wiley, they were part of the winning mile-relay team at

It wasn't too many years ago that KU opened its season with a dual meet against Alabama or a trip to the Wichita State Relays. But the nine-time team at Dallas will feature some of the top collegiate powers in the nation.
Jayhawk tennis team favored against OSU
The Jayhawks, who finished fifth in the NCAA Indoor Championships, will be led by their sprinters. Thought to be noticeably weaker than last year due to graduation losses, the sprinters performed well during the indoor season and Timmons is looking for the same kind of performances outdoors.
