Departing seniors eye football draft
Some of KU's senior football players may soon be facing a draft—but an appealing one.
National Football League commissioner Pete Rozelle announced Wednesday that the combined college player draft of the American and National Football Leagues will begin in New York Tuesday, Jan. 30.
Twenty-six teams will participate in the 17 rounds of drafting, which are expected to take two or more days. A total of 462 players are expected to be selected.
KU assistant football coach Don Fambrough said he did not know what KU players, if any, the professional teams might be considering.
"The teams deal directly with the boys on these things. We will answer requests for information concerning our players," Fambrough said. "We are always glad to see the boys go on to play pro ball."
The scouts watch our kids and gather information, Fambrough said. "We can't tell what they are
thinking. One team might think a man is too small to play pro ball while another will think highly of him."
Hank Stram, head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, said it was too close to the actual draft for him to advertise which, if any, Kansas players the Chiefs were interested in.
"Ability, size and speed are characteristics we look for in a football player. In this sense we recruit the same type of man the colleges try to get," he said.
Pro football teams are more concerned with finding a specialist than the all-around players that colleges find valuable, Stram said.
"A man doesn't have to be a standout player in college to play pro ball. He needs to be a specialist in one area, not necessarily the position he played in college. If we feel he can excel in one area, we will put him there," Stram said.
Drafting will be in reverse order of the teams' won-lost records in the combined 1967 standings of both leagues.
Police training sessions end today
Olympic head labeled 'anti-Negro'
NEW YORK —(UPI)— The ouster of Olympic Committee Chairman Avery Brundage, labeled a "devout anti-Semitic and negro personality," was demanded Thursday by the organizer of the proposed Negro boycott of the 1968 Olympic games.
The Kansas Peace Officers Association is holding the last of a series of regional police training sessions today at the Holiday Inn,
The training series was organized by James S. Kline, coordinator of police training for KU's Governmental Research Center.
Harry Edwards, the San Jose professor who is organizing the proposed boycott, made the charge at a news conference attended by civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King and Floyd McKissick, who backed up the charges.
Edwards said Brundage's ouster was one of the six conditions which must be met or the Negro boycott will take place.
The sessions bring together officers for instruction by Federal Bureau of Investigation officers, members of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the Kansas Highway Patrol.
"Mr. Brundage has been discovered as a result of our investigations to be a devout anti-Semitic and anti-Negro personality," Edwards said. "He has denied the use of his country club in California to groups whose members include Jews or Negroes. He has been quoted as saying that before he would let a Negro set foot on his country club he would break it up and sell it as separate lots."
In a telephone interview from Chicago's O'Hara International Airport before he departed for Zurich, Switzerland, Braundage refused to confirm or deny whether the Santa Barbara Country Club which he owns, permits Jews and Negroes to use its facilities.
Commenting on the proposed boycott, Brundage said, "It's the one international affair for Negroes, Jews and Communists. They're all equal on the field of competition. This is a fundamental principle of the Olympics, that there be no discrimination."
Sessions are given periodically to keep area police officials up to date on new methods and procedure of law enforcement.
Edwards also repeated his other demands which include: an end to discrimination at the New York Athletic Club; reissuance of the heavyweight title to Cassius Clay;
appointment of an additional Negro to coach the Olympic team; appointment of a Negro to the Olympic Committee; and no athletic competition between this country and nations which field only all-white teams.

Allen Lebovitz, Prairie Village freshman and committee member, said the two directors presented an "instrative" viewpoint at the first idea meeting yesterday.
He said the faculty members were cautious but encouraging. They liked the idea of students thinking for themselves but advised them to do research into all aspects of University organizations, regulations and the structure and nature of the Colleges-Within-the-College.
Lebovitz added that he didn't know how far the faculty encouragement would go.
He said the next committee meeting would be sometime after
Christmas.
Suzanne Crawford, assistant director of Corbin and committee member, said the committee wants to do a thorough job of researching the possibilities of Corbin government. The limitation of time is not a factor, she said.
The committee is discussing holding an open forum after the research is completed. Definite plans are not made as to who will be in the forum. The researched points about present organizations and some alternatives will be brought out for discussion in this forum.
John A. Meyers, director of Corbin College, said he thinks the proposal of a separate government is very likely but that possibilities shouldn't be limited at this embryonic stage.
