Players ready for fall season

Kansas' seven offensive linemen seldom rested during the four-week spring practice session. It only was played for a second or no quarter in the final scrimmage.
The seven interior linemen played for both teams as the Blue team defeated the White, 20-0, in the annual Blue-White spring football game yesterday. In fact, tackle Keith McCarthy stepped on the field for all but three snaps.
Afterward, center Chip Budge gave a souvenir of spring practice. The message on the back was, "O-On the few. The proud. The endangered."
"His shirt says it all," said Tony Sands, who led all rashers with 83 yards in 11 carries. "Those guys were working hard every down. It says a lot for them. They have a lot of endurance."
Blue quarterback Chip Hilleary won Budde's admiration. Hilleary had his nose broken by cornerback Robert Vaughn at the end of a 30-yard run just before halftime. Hilleary lost the injury was a freak accident.
"He showed he's a pretty tough kid," Budde said. "He had a broken nose and he stayed out there until he couldn't see straight."
The sophomore quarterback's run put the Blue, leading 7-0, on the White's 11-yard line. Backup quarterback Jason Presion fumbled on the play.
"I lated to come out when we were that close to the goal line," Hilleary said, "but it was up to the referee. He made the decision."
Hillary completed 8 of 15 passes for 169 yards and carried 6 times for 26 yards. He threw two touchdown passes to flanker Kenny Drayton.
Drayton, who caught four passes for 119 yards, said Hilleary earned his respect.
"I'm still impressed with Hillel's ability to get out of situations when it looks like the play is dead," Kansas coach Glen Mason said. "I think the only thing that's really hurt is his pride. Our players must have been better than the quarterback in the Big Eight to the eighth lowest."
"Chip's a good runner, but at the beginning of the spring, I didn't know if he could handle the pressure," he said. "He handled it very well today."
Drayton scored on an 11-yard pass in the second quarter and a 76-yard bomb from Hilleary with 3:59 left in the game. The latter gave the Blue a 17-1 lead.
"I don't feel like the main guy," he said. "We have a good receiving corps. Our third guy could have come in and done the same things I did. I
just had a good dav."
The Bbe team had 219 rushing yards and 388 total yards. The White gained 163 yards.
"Overall, I thought our execution, for playing a lot of players, was pretty good," Mason said. "Anytime you see someone get number one team against your number two team, it looks good when it ends up lapsed."
Defensively, the statistical leader was junior linebacker Pat Rogan. The Ohio State transfer had seven
tackles and an interception.
Budde said he thought the defense played well this spring.
"I know they beat me up a lot more," he said. "They're playing a lot more recklessly than they have in the past."
Now that spring practice has ended, Buddde said the linenen didn't think in terms of having survived.
"If we started worrying about surviving, we wouldn't have had as productive a spring as we had," Budde said.

After Kansas finished a four-game sweep during its Big Eight Conference softball weekend yesterday in Columbia, Mo., Jayhawk coach Kalum Haack had hopes for a national ranking.
Kansas softball
"We have got to move up in the region, and we deserve a top 20 ranking." Haack said after Kansas posted a 2-4 victory against 12th-ranked Missouri and a 7-0 shutout against Oklahoma yesterday.
Hawaiis is the fourth-ranked team in the Midwest. Missouri is ranked second.
Against the Tigers, Kansas pitcher Roanna Brier brake the Kansas record of 78 career victories set by former KU pitcher Tracy Bunge between 1983 and 1986. Brazier has 79.
"I knew about the record, but I really wasn't thinking about it," Brazier said. "I've been in a slump all year. It was nice to have a good weekend."
The Jayhawks, 33-14 overall and 11 in the conference, beat Oklahoma 3-1 and Missou'i 2-0 Saturday. Kansas and Missou'i 2-0 straight games and 18 of its last 18.
Brazier, 21-4, pitched 21 innings this weekend, allowing no runs and nine hits.
"We hit the ball well, played good defense and had great pitching,"
Haack said. "I'm excited."
"We just talked and talked and talked about what we had to do and how important it was to win this game," he said. "They fixed me. They fixed me. They fixed me. They fixed me. They fixed me."
In yesterday's first game against Oklahoma, Brazer allowed only two hits. Kansas led 3-0 before four innings and scored four times in the fifth.
Leadoff hitter Christy Arterburn singled and went to second on a sacrifice hit by second baseman Kim Sacco. Arterburn scored on catcher Jodi Hoyer's single to left-center field.
Brazier yielded five hits in the second game. The Jayhawks scored their two runs in the first lining.
Kansas first baseman Shelly Sack had two doubles and three RBI.
After Hoyer went to second on the throw to home plate, she scored on third baseman Camille Spitaleri's single.
Ji Bailley, 8-7, was the winning pitcher in Kansas' 3-4 victory against Oklahoma on Saturday. Spitaleri doubled and had two RBI.

Jayhawks win two, run streak to four

Kansas recorded its first shutout since March 16, pummeling Missouri Western 13-9 yesterday at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
The Jayhawks, 20-23, have won four consecutive games. Kansas survived a late rally by Emporia State and defeated the Hornets 9-8 Saturday night at Hoglund-Maupin Stadium.
Kansas basebal
Kansas will try to extend its winning streak when it plays Southwest Missouri State at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Springfield, Mo. The Jayhawks defeated the Bears 9-4 on Thursday at Hofstead-Maupin Stadium.
"At least we're starting to win a few games," Kansas coach Dave Bingham said. "I think we're more capable and I don't think that the way we're playing will us w a right into the conference tournament."
Kansas starter Steve McGinness kept Missouri Western hitless until the Griffons got two hits in the fifth inning. McGinness, 2,6, gave up three runs before he was relieved by John Wuvcheck in the seventh innings.
"I was happy with the outing," McGinnis said. "I came out kind of relaxed because I think I overlooked it." I didn't know where I went on, I felt like I got setted.
Bongman said he was pleased that McGinness was able to pitch close to his capabilities. McGinness walked just two batters.
"That's a lot better," Bingham said. "It's not so much a matter of that, but the way he pitched. I had better command of himself and had better command of himself out there. He hasn't had really good control of himself and it's hard to
pitch like that."
Although Kansas scored 13 runs on just nine hits, Bingham was not entirely pleased with the Jayhawks' performance.
"I'm not really that impressed with our play," he said. "We need a lot more enthusiasm, effort and concentration out of our ballclub. We need mental toughness and I don't think we're mentally tough."
On Saturday, Kansas had a 6-3 lead after six innings before winning the game.
"It was a tough game and they competed very hard," Bingham said. "It bothers me that it takes all of our energy to get a win. Our guys have the ability, it's just a matter of doing it."
In the fifth inning, Kansas designated hitter Joe Niemier hit a two-run home run over the center field fence, his second home run in two
"I think he's going to be a great player," Bingham said. "We recruited him with those quantities he's finally realizing his potential."

More than 200 cyclists competed in the first KU Criterium yesterday in conjunction with Earth Day festivals in downtown Lawrence.

Jackson said that about 300 people competed in the 12-lap races, which composed the criterium. The course covered parts of Kentucky, Seventh, Tennessee and Ninth streets, which were partially closed for the event.
The KU Cycling club jointly sponsored the race with the Lawrence Bike club. Jackson said that the race cost $1,000 and that the clubs probably would break even on the race. Expenses included a $1,000 prize list.

Michael Hudson of Topeka won the master's division for men 35 and older, and Sam Perkins and Mark Roberts of Lawrence took second and fourth, respectively.
In the USCF iV division, Eric Lovins took first. Jackson said this division, which is one step below the best cycling competition, had a lot of promising young cyclists. Derek Moffett, Jimi Whitmark and Mark Weir were all students, took third and fourth, respectively. In the top division, Johnny Wilson of the Kansas City Bike Club took first place.
In the four open races, two KU students and one cyclist from Lawrence finished in fourth place or better. Tricia Niblo, touring director for the KU Cycling club, took second place in the women's open, while third place was fourth. Fourth Joe Douglas of Lawrence won the men's open ages 40 and older.

CHIEFS DRAFT COLLEGE RIVALS
The Kansas City Chiefs have brought together a Michigan State tackler and a blocker from Notre Dame.
"Maybe we can be friends now," Tim Grunhard said.
Ihm Grundman said:
Grundhard, a Notre Dame guard-center, was taken by the Chiefs yesterday in the second round of the NFL draft. Percy Snow, a Michigan State linebacker, was their choice in round 1. The two competed throughout their college careers.
"This continues along with what we're trying to do," said second-year coach Marty Schottunheimer. "Get the players to get a strong and strong-minded individual."
The Chiefs had no third-round choice as a result of their trade last year with Dallas. In the fourth round they selected wide receiver Fred Jones of Grambling. In the fifth and sixth rounds, the Chiefs played day, the Chiefs opted for lineman Derrick Graham of Appalachian State.
Snow was the fifth linebacker taken in the first round but the first inside linebacker.
The Chiefs drafted the winner of the Butuk Award as the nation's top linebacker for the second year in a row. The 6,2-44-pound Snow led the Big Ten in tackles and also captured the prestigious Lombardi Trophy.
Colorado ends Kansas streak
"He's a big, physical inline backer," Schotenheimer said. "He's got a feltiness about him. He's a tough, aggressive player."
many, who has a reputation as a punishing tackler, said he was not alarmed to see four linebackers ahead of him.
"I felt I was the best," he said.
"But it's all going to come down basically to who wants it most when you put the pads on. I'm pretty sure he did, but I didn't find in of me, but I thought I was a more proven player."

Even though the Kansas men's tennis team was missing No. 1 singles player John Falbo this weekend, Coach Scott Pelerman wanted to take the blame for Saturday's loss to Colorado.
Kansas tennis
"I don't think I did as good a job as I could have preparing us to play." Perlman said. "I'm prepared to take the crux of the blame."
Colorado defeated Kansas 5-4 Saturday in Boulder. Falbo, who went to an emergency room in Bouler Friday night, has an infiltration between a rib and his sternum. Perelman said.
"We are not nearly the same team with him as we are without him," Pere尔曼 said.
Falbo is taking medication, and Perelman said he hoped that his top player would be well enough to play in the tournament. Falbo starts Saturday in Oklahoma City.
Pereman moved each player up a spot in the singles lineup. Jeff Grass replaced Falbo at the No. 1 spot, but he led Colorado's James Johnson to a win.
"It don't think it made a difference where I played," Gross said. "The
The Jayhawks, 12-9 overall and the top-trained team in the Midwest Region, ended their Big Eight season with a 5-1 record.
match was really close. No one dominated. He hit a couple of great shots late in the match, and that was the difference."
Perelman had a positive attitude about the loss, even though it ended the Jayhawks' nine-match winning streak.
Kansas finished the conference season with 39 points in six matches. The Jayhawks were the only under-18 team in the Big Eight before last weekend.
The match was tied 3-2 after the singles competition. At the Nov. 2, 1 and 4 spots, Chris Tebow and Fleming beat their opponents in straight sets.
"I promise we will be better prepared next week." Pereira said, referring to the Big Eight Tournament on Saturday.
Perealman had to juggle the lineup against the Bufalcons, 10-2 and 3-1 in the conference. In their only doubles victory, Gross and Rangel defeated Hakan Olsson and Kevin Johnson 6-2, 6-1.
“It’s the best thing that ever happened to us,” he said. “I see a renewed determination in everyone’s hearts.”
“It’s important how we react to this.”
In women's competition, the Jayhawks also lost 5-4 to the Buffaloes. After winning its first four matches in three straight games, the team has dropped three straight matches.
Eveline Hamers, Kansas' No. 1 singles player, was the only singles winner, defeating Colorado's Birgit Fink-Jensen 6-1, 6-4.
"I don't know if the altitude had anything to do with it," Kansas coach Michael Center said, "but the ball floated quite a bit on us."
At No 6 singles, Lauren Hagemann lost to Army Marx 5, 2-6, 6-4. Hagemann was the only Kansas player to lose in three sets.
the saywhales, 7-14 overall and 4-8 in the Big Eight, trailed 5-1 after singles but rebounded for a sweep in the Big Ten in some what satisfied Center.
"We need to do better in singles if we are to do well in the Big Eight championships," he said. "But it was good to see us come back and sweep doubles. Every point counts, so we left on a good note."
The women's Big Eight tournament runs Thursday and Friday in Oklahoma City.
"This almost is like the start of a new season, a fresh start," Center said. "Destiny is in our hands, Us, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado and K-State all are within five points of each other."
