Levi Lee returns to Mt. Oread
Former grid star eligibile next fall
By Harlan Everett Kansas Staff Reporter
Levi Lee, former High School All-American at Topeka High School and freshman football star at KU, will return to Mt. Oread in the fall of 1988 to complete his eligibility on the KU football team.
Lee, a 6-foot 210-pounder, left KU in 1965 for a two-year tour with the Navy. Big Eight Conference officials ruled Saturday that Lee would be able to use his three years of varsity eligibility beginning with the 1968 season.
There was been previous discussion on the matter because he had spent one day as a member of the University of Texas at El Paso football team after leaving KU. However, officials ruled this would not affect his eligibility here.
The date of his release from active duty with the Navy is set
for August, but with unused leaves, he is expected back sometime in July for summer practices. It was also mentioned by John Novotny, the team's academic counselor, that a decoration won on the aircraft carrier Forrestal during the tragedy last summer, could get Lee his release in time for spring practices.
Lee, about the same size as KU linebackers Mickey Doyle and Mike Sweatman, was also a standout sprinter in high school.
Don Fambrough, assistant KU football coach who recruited Lee, talked to the Topeka athlete the weekend of the Missouri game. "He didn't realize the importance of an education, but now he seems serious about school and football," Fambrough added.
While Lee returns to KU with excellent credentials, he has not played ball for two years,
at Topeka. He noted that Lee was a fine team man with tremendous team spirit. "He is an inspirational player who always gives 100 per cent effort, and he's always all over the field," Anderson said.
Fambrough said Lee would probably be used in defense at the linebacker position, and if he comes around, could fill the vacancy left by the graduation of Sweatman.
KU's 1968-69 basketball schedule will include nine non-conference opponents and will feature Syracuse and Creighton as the visiting teams for the Sunflower Doubleheader.
Fambrough noted. "It will take some time and he will have to prove himself, but if he lives up to his potential he could be a real asset to our team."
The remainder of the schedule announced by coach Ted Owens;
The Jayhawka will open Nov. 30 against St. Louis at Lawrence and wind up March 8 with Kansas State at Lawrence.
Anderson added that in his football career, including two years as a varsity letterman at KU, he couldn't remember being hit harder than he was by Lee in practices.
