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 after the Allen Field House tennis courts.
The good was that both teams drilled the Tigers 9-0. The women extended their undefended 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. "The guy who did it will be a bone scan done tomorrow."

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 saures Craig Wildey and Jeff Gross, and seniors Rafael Rafael Garvin and Han polished off their Tiger opponents in straight sets.

Missouri's Rogers and Tucker prefer 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 taunt Hank and Buth and even antagonized a spectator standing outside of the building and into the surrounding chain-link fence.
"They were hitting some shots and put us down 4-1 early." Han said. "I guess they are telling me names. I guess it is their frustration those guys when they lose every
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."

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 already been working on 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 manager, said that several independent athletes had come 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 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 $18.10^{34}$.
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, where his indoor 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.

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 Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
"I like these games," Kansas coach Dave Bingham 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 innings but the third and sixth.
