Wilmore, KU's 6-1 freshman guard, exhibits the same enthusiasm in practice that has made him a crowd-pleaser on the court. Fowler has teamed with Darnell Valentine, another freshman, to give KU its most exciting backcourt in years. Fowler, from Palmettro, fla., was one of the most highly recruited high school players in the country last year. All-state quarterback until sidelined by injuries, he says he is more than content with basketball and the sparkplug role he has assumed with the Jayhaws.
Fowler's enthusiasm sparks Jayhawks, fans

A love affair is rapidly developing between Wilmor-McMahon, Fowler and University of California.
Fowler, a 6-1, 175-pound sparkplug guard from Palmetto, Fl., has added some electricity and enthusiasm to Kansas basketball this season.
When he's playing, Fowler does his share of scoring and rebounding, and in addition, is all hands after a KU basket. Fowler has scored four points, who scores a basket and "saves five."
FOWLER RARELY sits still when he's on
beach. He can be jumped around in
the water.
Fowler's enthusiasm has been rewarded by KU fans who have made special efforts to keep the university alive.
"I love the crowd," Fowler said. "It's a big difference from high school. I like their enthusiasm. It makes me feel good; I feel they're behind me."
Fowler named his excited style of play was merely part of the Jayhawks team spirit
"I LIKE TO keep the momentum going." Fowler said. "One thing we have a lot of spirit. Everybody is cheering for each other."
"The TEAM teased me a little. They said, 'What are you trying to do with the fun?'"
Wait, is it "the" or "the"? It looks like "the".
Let's re-read the whole thing.
"The TEAM teased me a little. They said, 'What are you trying to do with the fun?'"
Actually, it might be "The TEAM teased me a little. They said, 'What are you trying to do with the fun?'" but the "of" in "doing" is clear.
The text is:
"The TEAM teased me a little. They said, 'What are you trying to do with the fun?'"
Wait, let me look at the image again.
It's "TEAM teased me a little. They said, 'What are you trying to do with the fun?'"

Fowler's unique style of play was seen during KU's 91-61战 of Oklahoma Jan. 14. Late in the game, Fowler was charging in and dunked when he slipped and missed his shot.
"I really don't know what I was doing." Fowier said. "After the missed dunk I just kept on playing. I can dunk anytime I want to. I missed it.
Angry at himself, embarrassed or both,
Fowler danced around the court waving his arms. The crowd reacted by giving him one of the year's biggest ovations. At the K-State game, some fans carried a sign that read, "Stuff it again, Lil' Mo."
Fowler was a star player at Palmetto High School averaging 26 points a game he
senior year. He was noted for his leaping ability and averaged 11.5 rebounds a game. Fowler said he was actively recruited by more than 200 schools.
"Coach Owens called my coach and he got through to me," Fowler said. "After I visited other schools, I had a feeling to come here. I like the tradition a lot."
Considering that his "first love is football," the Jayhawks are lucky to have Fowler. He all-an-state quarterback for Palmetto his sophomore and junior seasons, but he said he gave up football his senior year because of injuries.
"I GOT hurt two times my junior year, at the beginning of the year and in the state tournament, we said, 'After I hurt my knee, back us up,' told me I shouldn't go for football."
- ower suffered a more serious injury when he was in the second grade.
"I was in a brace in second grade," he said. "I was playing football and my hip got knocked out of place. The doctor told my mom I could never play sports again, but I still played with the brace on. It had a laugh. When it time I bent my knee was when I sat down.
"I was in a cast six to seven months, then they put me in the brace and crutches. Finally, I started walking without any support."
TED OWENS, KU's head basketball great contributions to Kansas this season.
"He plays with great enthusiasm," he said, "and that inspires when he's on tour." The audience is impressed.
"From the guard position he gives us additional rebounding. He does an excellent trick."
After the Kansas State game, Fowler was third in the Big Eight in assists with 62. Teammate Darnell Valentine was second with 47 and nine nine blocked shots, 13 rebounds and 24 rebounds.
Fowler said that one of his favorite acutivities was swimming but that he had not been able to keep up.
“It’s too cold for me,” he said. “I stay inside as much as possible.”

Nobody is panicking yet, the Kansas hawks' once potent offense has been knocked out.

double figures 16 times and was second in team assists with 72.
"I DON'T THINK we've been in a shooting slump." Ted Owens, KU's head basketball coach, said yesterday. "It's just too bad the team hasn't done our shot selection hasn't been good lately."
OPPONENTS are alternating zone and man-to-man defenses on the Jayhawks and Owens said he did not know which to expect from Colorado.
Owens is impressed with Colorado's young team.
"They've played both a man-to-man and a zone," he said. "We've seen both defenses this year and we'll be ready for either of them."
"THEY MAY have the best accumulation of young talent in the league," he said. "From what I've seen, I'd say they have experienced some inconsistency, which you can see in your team. But the talent is so sure that makes them extremely dangerous."
Before the recent cold spell, Owens' Jayhawks had built up some impressive offensive statistics. The Jayhawks lead in the Big Eight in scoring, with an average of 85 points a game. Their total margin of victory was 102 points over 100 points or more four times this season.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
This question is the opening words of The Second Psalm of the Bible, God Almighty the Book revealin' Him to man. A heatheen is one who does not believe in The God of The Bible, 'is that you? so', we suggest you "Search The Scriptures," asking God to reveal Himself to you personally. If you would want to obey obedience "in due season you will reap, if you fail not!"
Consider the verses in the 1st Paulum just before the question, "Why do the heathen age say, 'Blessed is the man who beholds the Lord'?" is asked: "Blessed is the man who beholds the Lord" in the way of saints, nor sithes in the seat of the scourtul. BUT his DELIGHT IS in THE LAW OF THE LORD; AND IN THE LORD IS SHE BEING HELD IN THE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED by THE RIVERS OF WATER; THAT BRINGETH FORTH HIS FRUST IN HIS SEASON HE LEAF ALSO SHALL NOT WITHER; AND WHEN HE LEAVES THE SEASON HE LANDS UNGOLY ARE NOT SO —" In these first two of the Psalms God is saying again to man what He said by Moses: "Behold, when you see the commandments of the Lord your God command you this day, and a curse; if will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God—I call heaven and earth, and thy life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." Dei 11:26-28
Consider this all of you who 'delight in the Law of the Lord,' and may we suggest that you meditate upon the
following "day and night". That respect and obedience to God's Tenth Commandment would bring a blessing to our land in quick order, and would do away with stealing, or taking from the earth. This Tenth Commandment would blot out race trouble, strikes, and various and sundry other assortments of strife, ill, wilt, and devilment for all at the bottom of all these isms. The Tenth Commandment is called the Commandment II? Quote: "THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, THOUSH THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, THOUSH THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR HIS OK, NOR HIS ASS, NOR ANYTHING that IS THY NEIGHBOR'S."
We submit for your meditation that it is *The Church's business to teach men that* "Covetousness is idolatry," and that no covetous person has faith in the Kingdom of God. We submit for your meditation that repeated teaching of The Bible they have and hell and damnation! We further submit for your meditation that a genuine Christian is one who has entered into The New Covenant with God, and the Spirit of God has written the Word of God. We submit for your meditation "The shalt not covet anything that is the neighbor's." Friend, maybe you need to go to an old-fashioned meeting where you will have the opportunity to go up to the altar, kneel, pray, and ask God’s people to pray for you for “Rapen-oweds towards God, and faith towards The Lord Jesus Christ!”
