Sports University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, April 17, 1991 13 Tennis teams snag 9-0 sweep By Mark Spencer Kansan sportswriter Kansan sportswriter 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 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. "They did an X-ray on Rhain and it showed no fracture," Kansas men's coach Scott Pereman said. "I don't know if he will be a bone scan done tomorrow." The ugly side of tennis, if indeed there is one, was also evident in the No. 2 doubles match. 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. Kansas seniors Craig Wildey and Jeff Gross, and juniors Rafael Rangel, Paul 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. 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. 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." Tucker, however, continued to taut Hank and Buth and even antagonized a spectator standing outside the hive, and she then into the surrounding chain-link fence. Kansas juniors Eveline Hamers, Renee Raychaudhuri, Page Goins and Laura Hagemann and freshmen were victorious in singles competition. "They were hitting some shots and put us down 4-1 early." Han said. And they had names, names, names I guess it gets frustrating for those guys when they lose every 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 Raychaudhuri, of No. 2 Bowers and Goins and No. 3 Buffy Peltz. Pelz 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. Walker one of three finalists for scholarship 'Hawks work on stature of Relays By Rick C. Honish Kansan sportswriter "They have been lit up all day," David Kaiser, Relays manager, said. All three phone lines in the Kansas Relays headquarters were lit up Monday afternoon. Kaiser was answering the phones and taking registrations from high school and college during the 66th Annual Kansas Relays. The Relays begin today and on the end result of a seven-month planning process Kaiser has approved. The Relays are installed at 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 Relas." Kaiser, a self-proclaimed "rookie" Relays manager, said that several independent athletes added 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 experience with a mark of 241 feet, 1 inch. The Kansas record for women's javelin is 166-10, a mark that may be challenged by Kansas freshman sensation Heber 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 18·1034. 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 off-the-road 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 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 younger kids will add to the excitement and put some more youth back into the Relays," Kaiser said.

Last night's statistics and those from Sunday's 28-3 Kansas victory against Graceland College give the Jayhawks 50 runs, 61 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 Hornetts, scoring runs in every inning but the third and sixth.

"they were just not sure what they were keeping the ball in play very well." "Everyone has a tendency to take it too seriously." Johnson said.
