Women's golf ends its fall season
By Spencer Duncan Kansan sportswriter
When the golf season began, Kansas women's golf coach Jerry Waugh was unsure of what to expect.
Three months later, as the women's fall season comes to a close this week, Waugh still is unsure at what level his team is capable of playing.
Throughout the season, it played as good as any team in the country. At other times, inconsistent play plagued the Jayhawks.
"We had rounds where we played really well," Kansas junior Anne Clark said. "But most of the time we weren't playing the way we felt we could."
Of the 12 players on the roster, four are juniors and just one is a senior. This raised questions before the season started as to whether their lack of collegiate experience would cause problems. Waugh said that he knew there was a shortage of upper-class golfers, but that did not mean a lack of experience. Experience was what the team needed to have a successful fall.
"We had enough experience that we should have been more consistent." Clark said.
The team's inconsistency created problems.
In the first tournament, the Jav-
hawks showed promise and captured fifth place at the Minnesota Invitational. Three golfers, junior Missy Russell, sophomore Lori Laurisen and freshman Mandy Munsch all placed in the top 20. It looked like a promising start, but then the team stumbled.
The Jayhawks went to Corvallis, Ore., with high expectations. Instead of playing well, the team was exposed to inconsistencies that had popped up before and took 12th place, its worst finish of the season.
"It was disappointing," Waugh said.
The team bounced back in its third outing in Columbus, Ohio, where it took another fifth-place finish. The Jayhawks shot three consistent rounds for the first time and showed off the experience necessary to compete with other teams.
Heading into the Marilyn Smith Invitational in Wichita, Waugh said the Jayhawks were looking to prove to themselves that they could play consistently.
At the 14-tournament, the Jayhawks finished in seventh place. Although they had hoped for a top five finish, the players were pleased with a finish that wasn't at the bottom.
"I thought we could have done better," Lauritsen said. "But we also could have done worse."
mont, Texas, the Jayhawks again were searching for a top five finish, but things did not go as planned.
Heading into the fall finale in Beau-
The team finished the fall on a disappointing note, taking 10th place and once again showing the inconsistencies it had battled all season.
"We realize where we need to be," Clark said. "We need to be more consistent."
The surprise of the season, though, was the leadership and ability of Munsch.
"Mandy has helped this team work harder," senior Lynn Williamson said.
Munsch worked hard and played hard. In four tournaments, she placed in the top 10 once and in the top 25 three times. In her young collegiate career she has yet not to place in the top 25.
With the fall season complete, the team will spend the next four months conditioning and the coaches will be evaluating players until the spring season begins in March.
Spring is the season that counts, Waugh said, because the schedule includes the Big Eight Conference Championships and qualifying for the NCAA tournament
"Fall is the time of the year when you figure out where you are at," he said.
And right now, Waugh still isn't sure that is.
Tyson frustrated with his broken thumb; opponent feels great opportunity is lost
Former heavyweight champion will be out for four to six weeks The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — For $39.95, Mike Tyson can watch the telecast of the Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield fight Saturday night. Or he can attend in person.
Whatever he does, a spectator is all he can be. A broken right thumb has knocked him out of his fight against Buster Mathis Jr. on free television at the MGM Grand.
The injury will keep the former heavyweight champion out of action for four to six weeks.
"This is a really serious setback.I was really anticipating this fight."

Mike Tyson Heavyweight boxer
"This is a really serious setback," Tyson said. "I was really anticipating this fight."
Actually it was a reinjury of the thumb that forced the fight to be postponed.
Tyson broke the thumb approximately two weeks ago, but hoped it heal in time. Then he reinforced it while sparring.
"I'm very upset because this was a great opportunity for me," said Mathis, who was to get $800,000. Tyson was to get $10 million.
"Hopefully, this opportunity will rise up again, and there will be a Buster Mathis-Mike Tyson fight."
Mathis he had thought that Tyson was bluffing when he said his hand was sore. But Tuesday night, at the announcement of the postponement, he was no longer skeptical.
"I think this is real, and I hope everything will be all right with this man." Mathis said.

In March, take a romantic voyage back to a favorite place with a favorite person. Travel by water again in July. Don't ask for a raise in August; the boss will be in a rotten mood. You'll need to finish something you promised by October, so start now.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
You may realize you've accidentally thrown away something you wanted to keep. Don't worry; you still have everything you need. You may get a windfall today, perhaps through a benefit to your spouse. Tonight, spend some high-quality time with a quiet person.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
Your inner voices chatter so much, sometimes it's hard for your spirit guides to get through!

Cancer (June 22-July 22):
Others will be comforted today
Taurus (April 20-May 20): There may have been some changes lately, but don't worry. Some are going to last and some are only temporary. This afternoon looks like another likely time for transformation. If you've been meaning to drop a bad habit forever, you can do it now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

demanding.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): You may get the answer to your own most bothersome question today. To hear it, create some quiet time in a beautiful place. With a friend who understands, conversation won't be necessary. You shouldn't tell a secret you're entrusted with, anyway.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Your wealth will increase through your efforts, even though you haven't figured out the whole thing yet. Something you learn at a confidential meeting also will come in handy. It's time to acquire a new skill and teach an old one. Trust your own experience.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
You may be struggling to keep things going the way you want.
It's not quite time to relax yet, either. Watch the money, especially. If things don't make sense, you may not have all the information you need. Don't tip your hand by asking; figure it out for yourself.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you're willing to give up your dreams, one of them might become reality. The key to transformation is completion, so finish up whatever you're working on now. A friend's demand could lead to a valuable insight. Trust one who has always been sure you could succeed.

Swim team keeps time while treading water
By Bill Kenealy
Kansan sportswriter
No, they're not counting down the final, excruciating minutes of a lecture; they deal in the tenths and hundredths of a second which separate victory from defeat
Kansas swimmers are a bunch of clock watchers.
Swimmers are acutely aware of the posted times which act as a barometer of their progress and predict how well they will do in future meets.
Kansas senior captain Rob Putnam is often the first Kansas swimmer to hit the pool at dual meets. He swims the 100-yard backstroke as the first leg of the 400-yard medley relay, and realizes how important it is to get the meet off on the right foot.
Some difficulty lies in trying to get excited to swim against lesser opponents, Putnam said. As a result, times may fluctuate from meet to meet.
Putnam said they had less adrenaline flowing during the Illinois meet because the opponents were slower than those from Arkansas and Louisiana State.
"I led off 6 faster than last week. I was really happy with that." Putnam said after the Jayhawks' victory in the relay against Southern Illinois on Friday. "During our hard training we try to swim consistent every week."
Kansas senior All-American Dan Phillips keeps an eye on his times as well. The freestyler/butterflier said as the season progressed — and the frequency of meets increased — consistency mattered more.
The Kansas swimming and diving teams will be traveling to Champaign, Ill., for the Illinois Dual Extravaganza from Nov 10-12.
Kansas senior Donna Christensen knows how much difference hundredths of seconds make. In a meet Saturday against Minnesota, she was one of three swimmers that finished in a pack in the 400-yard individual medley. Christensen finished third, just .04 seconds behind the winner, Kansas sophomore Kristin Nilsen.
