By Mark Spencer Kensan sportswriter
It was a case of the good, the bad and the ugly for the Kansas tennis teams against Missouri yesterday at the Allen Field House tennis courts.

The good was that both teams drilled the Tigers 9-0. The women extended their underfeated Big Eight to 5-0, and the men improved to 4-0.
The bad was an injury to Kansas freshman Rhain Buth's left leg when he tripped during the No. 2 doubles match.
The ugly side of tennis, if indeed there is one, was also evident in the No. 2 doubles match.
"They did an X-ray on Rhain and it showed no fracture." Kansas men's tennis coach Scott Perleman said, "He was in shock, and there will be a bone deep damage."
Buth and Kansas junior Pat Hatt battled Missouri's Ryan Tucker and Robert Rogers. The final score, 6,7, 6,2, 6,4, might indicate a competitive match, but more was involved than that.
Missouri's Rogers and Tucker preferred to taunt the Kansas duo more than play tennis. Han and Tucker exchanged words early, but Han concentrated his efforts towards tennis after being calmed by Perelman
Tucker, however, continued to taint Hau and Buth and even antagonized a spectator standing outside the compound into the surrounding chain-link fence.
"They were hitting some shots and put us down 4-1 early," Han said. "Then, the guy starts calling me names. I guess it gets frustrating for those guys when they lose every match 9-0."
Kansas seniors Craig Wildey and Jeff Gross, and juniorators Rafael Garvin and Han polished off their Tiger opponents in straight sets.
set for a singles victory
The women's team took an equally productive but less eventful course through the Missouri lineup in its 9-0 victory.
Kansas women's tennis coach Michael Center said he was pleased with the Jayhawks' domination of the overmatched Tigers.
"I told them from the start to give this team respect and play them hard," he said. "I was hoping it would turn out this way, and it did."
Kansas juniors Eveline Hamers, Renee Raychaudhuri, Page Goins and Laura Hagemann and freshmen were victorious in singles competition.
Raychaudhuri's match, like nearly all the others, lasted just over 25 minutes.
She said, "We all went into the match thinking they were like any other team."
The Kansas doubles teams of No. 1 Hamers and Raychaudhier. No. 2 Harms and Gonds and No. 3 Burfy McLane and Pelz. Pelz added straight-sett victories.
In coming crucial conference confrontations, both tennis teams play Oklahoma State on Saturday and Oklahoma on Sunday at the field. On both days the women play at 9 a.m. and the men play at 2 p.m.

'Hawks work on stature of Relays

All three phone lines in the Kansas Relays headquarters were lit up Monday afternoon.
"They have been lit up all day," David Kaiser, Relays manager, said.
Kaiser was answering the phones and taking registrations from high school and college during the 60th annual Kansas Relays.
The Relays begin today and are the end result of a seven-month planning process. Kaiser has issued an official notice to the stature the Relays once bad.
"We started working on this in September," he said. "I think it could be the second coming of the Kansas Relays."
Kaiser, a self-proclaimed "rookie" Rレス manager, said that several independent athletes had come to the excitement of the Relays.
Ed Kemanski of the New York Athletic Club is the favorite in the men's javelin. He comes to赛 with a mark of 341 feet, 1 inch.
The Kansas record for women's javelin is 166-10, a mark that may be challenged by Kansas' freshman sensation Heather Berlin.
On the women's side, Laverne Eave from the Bahamas is entered in the javelin with a throw of 214.
only Kansas All-American Pat Manson, but five former Kansas All-Americans as well. One of those is Jeff Buckingham, the owner of the Kansas outdoor vault record of 18·10³%.
A throw of 223-8 is the high mark for favored John Billingsley of the Stars and Stripes track club in the hammer.
Kansas freshman Michael Cox is another athlete who Kaiser said should add to the excitement. Cox competed in the Junior World Cross Country Championships, then began his outdoor season by going away the field in the 1,000-meter run last week in Nebraska.
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said that the Jayhawks were looking forward to the Relays.
He said the teams had not altered their training for the meet, but that he expected to see games in front of the home crowd.
Kaiser said that in an effort to get more fans in Memorial Stadium, he sent letters to elementary schools in surrounding communities inviting students to the Relays.
He said he hoped to have nearly 500 elementary students in the stands.
"Having those younger kids will add to the excitement and put some more youth back into the Relays," Kaiser said.
Jeff Gross returns a serve against M defeated Leslie 6-1, 6-0.

In its second Pearl Harbor-like offensive attack in three days, the Kansas baseball team rapped 26 hits en route to a 22-0 mauling of the Emporia State Hornets last night at Holgund-Mauin Stadium.
Last night's statistics and those from Sunday's 28-3 Kansas victory against Graceland College give the Jayhawks 50 runs, 65 hits and no fielding errors in their last two games.
"I like these games," Kansas coach Dave Bingham said. "I thought it might happen on Sunday, but I didn't think it would tonight."
The Jayhawks struck often and severely against the Hornets, scoring runs in every inning but the third and sixth.
Attitudes bring

Kansas coach Sarah Johnson said that all the players would agree that Kansas should have won.

"They had a few bad rounds, and those will kill you every time," Johnson said. "They were just not enough." "the they were keeping the ball in play or very well."
"Everyone has a tendency to take it too seriously," Johnson said.
After finishing fourth at the Azalea Festival Tournament in Hampstead, N.C., during the weekend, the Kane brothers learned how attitude can affect a game.
Anti-fit jeans are latest fashion rage
After Kansas shot 321 in the first round, Johnson said she told the team to relax and have fun.
If you can never see to find a pair of jeans that fit, this could be your year.

Why? Because one of this year's popular jean styles is the anti-fit jeans, according to employees of some local jean stores.

Anti-fit jeans are just that. They are cut so large that they aren't supposed to fit.
Beth Gould, a sales assistant at King of Jeans, 740 Massachusetts St., said that while some people wore belts with this style, others simply wore them as they were.
"The look is jeans pulled down to your hips," she said.
"I think Guess has been here long enough," she said. "People are tired of seeing those triangles."
The most popular color of jeans, according to Gould, is bleached sky blue.
Gould added that it was also popular to roll the jeans up at the ends.
She said the popular brands at her store included Levi's, Pepe and Girbeau, while the once-popular brand, Guess, seemed to be declining in popularity.
Curtis Keyes, team leader at Brass Buckle, 805 Massachusetts St., agreed that the anti-fit jean was a popular style. He also included Pepe and Girbeau as popular brands.
But, in his opinion, the trendy colors were dark blue, black and acid-washed, as well as some other unusual style.
"One popular pair has paint splashed on them," he said.
Unlike Gould and Keyes, Earl Reineman, vice president of Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., said he didn't consider the anti-fit to be a popular style. He said he thought most people preferred a relaxed fit.
"The anti-fit is trying to become popular, but I don't think it will," he said. "It's cut so large that it doesn't tailor to a normal human body."
Reineman also said there seemed to be a movement away from the acid-washed look toward a soft, pre-worn look.
Of course, if the anti-fit jean look isn't for you, there is the problem of finding a pair that fits. Gould and Keyes had some advice for people trying to find that perfect pair.
"Go to a store that's got a wide selection and ask a qualified person to help you." Gould said. "You've got to ask questions. You can't just go in and ask for a size seven. You could wear a seven in one pair and a nine in another. There are so many variations that make them fit."
"Have an open mind," Keyes said. "Try on some things you think you will hate. One of them might be the pair that fits."
