Tennis teams snag 9-0 sweep

It was a case of the good, the bad and the ugly for the Kansas tennis teams against Missouri yesterday afternoon at the Allen Field House tennis courts.
The good was that both teams drilled the Tigers 9-0. The women extended their undefeated 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.
"They did an X-ray on Rhain and it showed no fracture. "Kansas men's tennis coach Scott Perelman said. "He told me he was going to be a bone scan done tomorrow."
The ugly side of tennis, if indeed he was also evident in the No. 2 doubles.
Buth and Kansas junior Pat Han 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.
Tucker, however, continued to taint Hank and Buth and even antagonized a spectator standing outside the compound, who fell into the surrounding chain-link fence.
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
"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 Hammers, Renee Raychaudhier, Page Golens and Laura Hagemann and freshmen were victorious in singles competition.
She said, "We all went into the match thinking they were like any other."
Raychaudhuri's match, like nearly
others, lasted just over 25
minutes.
The Kansas doubles teams of No. 1 Hamers and Raychaudhuri. No. 2 Bowers and Goins and No. 3 Buffy Mowrs and Pelz added straight-set victories.
In coming conclure conference confrontations, both tennis teams play Oklahoma State on Saturday and Washington on Sunday at the field house courts. In 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 through the 60th annual Kansas Relays.
The Relays begin today and are the end result of a seven-month planning process. Kaiser has ordered them as soon as possible 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" Riley managers, said that several independent athletes added to the excitement of the Relys.
Ed Kamenski of the New York Athletic Club is the favorite in the men's javelin. He comes to meet 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 18-103⁴.
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, his clean outdoor season by blowing away the field in the 1,500-meter run last week in Nebraska.
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said that the Jayhawks were looking forward to the Relaxs.
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 younger kids will add to the excitement and put some more youth back into the Relays," Kaiser said
Jeff Gross returns a serve against defeated Leslie 6-1, 6-0.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Did he jump or was he pushed? Digger Phelps was flanked by his family, and not by Notre Dame officials, when he announced his retirement after 20 years as coach of the Fighting Irish.
The long walls were lined with well-wishers and the curious: friends and coaches from the athletic department, the public relations staff and priests.

In its second Pearl Harbor-like offensive attack in three days, the Kansas baseball队 rapped 26 hits en route to a 22-0 mauling of the Emporia State Hornets last night at Hoguelm-Maurin Stadium.
The Jayhawks struck often and severely against the Hornets, scoring in every inning but the third and sixth.
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."

"Everyone has a tendency to take it too seriously." Johnson said.
"They had a few bad rounds, and those will kill you every time," Johnson said. "They were just not ready to be the best keeping 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.
