Shanklin's versatility tops
There are all-purpose everythings these days.
You can buy an all-purpose cleanser at the grocery store. You can buy all-purpose material at the fabric shop.
Now there is a statistic kept for the all-purpose running back among the nation's football players. Needless to say, it is a rarely seen statistic—unless you have an all-purpose runner on your team.
KU has one
And this year, again, KU has such an all-purpose back.
He's Don Shanklin, who during the 1966-67 campaign racked up 1,373 yards for the fifth best total in the U.S. Virginia's Frank Quale led with 1,616 yards.

He also held the ball on point-after-touchdown attempts. On one try, when the snap from center was bad, he picked up the ball and scampered into the end-zone for the two-point conversion.
Is he all-purpose?
Perhaps all-around everything would be a better description.

Fall golf meet new so is Hawk's coach
Long-time Kansas golf professional, Wilbur Norton, 56, has been appointed Kansas golf coach by athletic director Wade Stinson.
Norton begins his duties this week when he takes a five-man Jayhawk squad to Manhattan for a new fall golf tournament. Kansas State will be host at the Manhattan Country Club Friday and Saturday. A 21 team field is expected to enter the meet and included are all Big Eight squads plus other outstanding teams from the midwest.
Jayhawk entries will be chosen today in qualifying rounds at the Lawrence Country Club. Five of the following six will represent KU: John Clevenger, Bill Hess, Charlie Peffer, Mike Krone, John Rogers and Kent Powell.
Clevenger, Hess and Peffer are returning lettermen.

He has been the pro at LCC since 1955.
The Castle Tea Room STILL THE MOST UNIQUE RESTAURANT IN LAWRENCE
There has to be a good reason why students and faculty alike continue year after year, to patronize us. It could be our warm, friendly atmosphere, fine food, "Old World" decor, or just the fact that we're different. Our four dining rooms, furnished in birch, cherry, walnut, and oak, are perfect for dinner dates, meetings, and even wedding receptions. But, whatever the reason may be, we're glad you've made us the most popular restaurant in Lawrence. We've been that way for 23 years.
If you're new in Lawrence, we'd like to get acquainted with you. If you already know about us, you will be glad to know that we're still here. We haven't changed!
