Tennis teams snag 9-0 sweep
By Mark Spencer
Kansan sportswriter
The good was that both teams drilled the Tigers 9-0. The women extended their underfeated Big Eight against the 5-0 to 5-0, and the men improved to 4-0.
It was a case of the good, the bad and the ugly for the Kansas tennis teams against Missouri yesterday in the Allen Field House tennis courts.
The bad was an injury to Kansas freshman Rhain Buth's left leg when he tripped during the No. 2 doubles match.
"They did an X-ray on Rhain and it showed no fracture," Kansas men's tennis coach Scott Perelman said. "The right toe will be a bone scan done tomorrow."
The uglly side of tennis, if indeed there is one, was also evident in the Nike game.
Buth and Kansas junior Pat Hat 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 tauren Hunt and Buth and even antagonized a spectator standing outside of the compound and into the surrounding chain-link fence.
Kansas seniors Craig Wildey and Jeff Gross, and juniors Rafael Rangel, Paul Garvin and Han polished off their Tiger opponents in straight sets.
"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
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 Gaines and Goinis and No. 3 Buffy Milley. Miss Pelly added straight-set victories.
In coming crucial conference confrontations, both tennis teams play Oklahoma State on Saturday and Oklahoma on Sunday at the field house courts. 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 for the 66th annual Kansas Relays.
The Relays begin today and are the end result of a seven-month planning process. Kaiser has created an RELAYS model to the stature the Relays once had.
"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" Relays manager, said that several independent athletes add to the excitement of the Relays.
Ed Kaminski of the New York Athletic Club is the favorite in the men's javelin. He comes to witness with a mark of 241 feet, 1 inch.
On the women's side, Laverne Eave from the Bahamas is entered in the javelin with a throw of 214.
The Kansas record for women's javelin is 166-10, a mark that may be challenged by Kansas' freshman sensation Heather Berlin
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, has been his outdoor season by blowing away the field in the 1,300-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 them 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 young kids will add to the excitement and put some more youth back into the Relays," Kaiser said.
Jeff Gross returns a serve against defeatedles 6-1, 6-0.

Two-game
By Mark Spencer

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 Hoghland-Maupin Stadium.
"I like these games," Kansas
Dave Dainberg said. "I'
thought it might happen on Sunday,
but I didn't think it would tonight."
Last night's statistics and those from Sunday's 28-3 Kansas victory against Graceland College give the Jayhawks 50 runs, 56 hits and no fielding errors in their last two games.
The Jayhawks struck often and severely against the Hornets, scoring runs in every inning but the third and sixth.

After finishing fourth at the Azalea, Festival Tournament in Hampstead, N.C. during the weekend, the Kansai team decided how attitudes can affect a game.
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 used to it. We kept the ball in play very well."
After Kansas shot 321 in the first round, Johnson said she told the team to relax and have fun.
"Everyone has a tendency to take it too seriously," Johnson said.
