Depth strengthens noseguard spo.
Snorts Writer
By JASON NUSS
The nosegasket position for the University of Kansas football team was not exactly a strong point at the start of the season. But Charles and Charles Casey quickly channeled that.
Algee and Casey became the nosgurges when the Jayhawks changed from a 4-4-3 to a 4-5-2.
"We feel that Algee and Casey will be the type of noseguards we want for our defense," according to Bud Moore, head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals for the position, than Balaranda and Emerson."
Each had no varsity experience at noseguard. Algee had played backhalf his first two years at KU and had played in the junior high school. Casey did not even play high school football.
DURING THE FIRST three games, neither Algee nor Casey emerged as the No. 1 player, so Jim Webster, linebacker coach, has content to have them share the playing time.
"It it used to depend on the previous week on who started," Webster said. "We were happy with the situation because whenever you have two players with equal ability, the competition will make them both better ball players."
Webster said the strengths and weaknesses of both players made it easy to make them.
"John is quicker and has more speed than Casey," Webster said. "He stays low and gets to the ball in a hurry. Casey is stronger and more physical."
Algee and Casey are content sharing starting duties.
"IT WAS GOOD to have the competition"
A said. "It constantly used us as concentration."
Csaey said, "I thought it was good. John's a good player and I knew the competition was tough."
Although Webster was happy with the two-man situation before the conference season, he said he thought it was best to establish a No. 1 noseguard when the conference games began. Algee won the startin berth.
"Algee still doesn't have the position sewn up," Webster said. "Honey does ever."
Ex-KU star cut by Bucs
Linebacker Mike Lemon, who was the Kansas Jayhawks' starting noseguard in 1973 and 1974, was released by the Tampa Bavoconners of the NFL yesterday.
Lemon was originally selected in the sixth round of the 1975 NFL draft by New Orleans, but was waived the Saints and was signed by Denver as a free agent. He signed with Tampa prior to last season and played five games for the Bucs last year as a lingerback.
Lemon was cut to make room for second-year quarterback Parnell Dickinson, who was signed to replace injured starter Gary LeClair and guard Kansas City Chiefs' light end Gary Butler.
KC adds Wade, waives Butler
KANAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—For the second straight day, the Chiffs made a roster change, adding wide receiver Charlie Baker, having wide receiver Gerald Balder player.
Wade, a 17th-round 1973 Miami draft choice, is in his third season in the NFL after playing with the Dolphins, Chicago, Green Bay and New Orleans. His last full season ended with a 29-6 victory when he caught 39 passes for 683 yards and an average of 17.5 yards per catch.
Wade spent most of his rookie season on Miami's taxi squad and then was traded to the Bears in the 1974 preseason. He was waived by Chicago in 1975 and played in the 1976 preseason. He was traded to 1976 preseason with the New Orleans Saints before being placed on inured reserve.
Wade is 5-9, 160 pounds, and is from Tennessee State College.
BUTLER JOINED the Chefs as a free agent this summer after being waved by Chef Daniels.
Kings to retire Jenner's jersey
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —The Kansas City Kings will retire the Jersey of an athlete picked in the draft this year even though he is a member of the National Basketball Association club.
The jersey being retired Nov. 4 is No. 8618, which was assigned to Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner in honor of his record 8.018 points in the decathlon last year. Kings drafted Jenner in the round round, though he was not a basketball player.
"You hear so often that the teams don't draft players by position but go for the best. But you know the team that Axelson said when he drafted Jenner in June, "using that rationale, we drafted Jenner. It's hard to argue that there's any athlete living or dead, who is better than the other."

John Algee
John does't play well, then Casey or Harry Murry will step in."
Murphy is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior,
who has been a noncook and linebacker.
Algee agreed that he did not have the position sewn up.
“IT'S NOT OVER yet,” Aigee said. “The competition is still there. He is strong at my age.”
Casey is a 6-foot-3, 235-bound sophomore from Saginaw, Mich. At Saginaw, Casey played basketball but did not play football. Casey went to prep school at Laurinburg.
Institute in North Carolina, where he first played football.
Charles Casey
"Last year was the first real learning experience I had." Casey said.
Casey, who led the junior variety in
season this season, was disappointed with
not being able to play.
"I guess you could say that it does bother me," Casey said. "It's not my decision to say who starts; it's the coaches." I'll be as long as I am playing, but I'd like to start.

KANSAN Sports
Algee had six tackles and was graded at 93 per cent by the coaches for his performance. When KU played Colorado, Algee had eight tackles and was graded at 90 per cent.
St. Louis, a 5-foot-11, 225-pound junior from 81. Leauis, he had improved because of the team's high defense.
"I was able to concentrate on what was going on," Algee said. "When I watched films of upcoming opponents, I could concentrate on what I would do on each place."
Although Algee carried the ball only 14 times his first two years at KU, he said he was disappointed when he first switched to defense.
"At first it bothered me," he said, "but now I'm happy. I feel as if I'm part of something. Last year I didn't feel I contributed to the team. Now I do."

Some key performers were missing, but Kansas coach Bud Moore liked what he saw at the Jahawks' afternoon practice yesterday.
The cast was not complete but Moore still liked show
Moore said that team spirit was high on Saturday's game against the Cyclones, who had a four-game lead.
"We had one of our better practices of the year!" Moore said. "It wasn't long, but we didn't."
The only bad part was that several
neck missed practice because of injuries
Linebacker Harry Murphy and noseguard Charles Casey missed practice and will not be playing Saturday against Iowa State. Moore said that starting center Mike Wellman had a bruise on the back of his shoulder he should be returning to practice today.
MOORE SAID that defensive end Tom Morrison had been shifted to offensive guard. Morrison had been playing behind the ball with Jerry Calovich at the defensive end position.
"We've had three good practices in a row, and today was the best of the three," Moore said. "We got some things accomplished this week."
If Wellman is unable to play, Moore said walk-on center Bob Fiss would replace him.
Returning to practice yesterday were split end Mark Vicendese and pau-place-kicker Mike Huhac. Vicendese has been out this week with a sprained neck, and Huhac suffered an injury to his left foot earlier this week.
