Bud Stallworth Explains His Career Ups and Downs
By MIKE FITZGERALD

In March 1972, Bud Stallwell ended his college basketball career at the University of Kansas by defeating the University of Missouri almost single-handedly.
In that game, Stallworth scored a conference record of 50 points and afterwards the fans carried him away on their shoulders.
Since then, however, Stallworth's career has been somewhat difficult to follow.
Before school ended in 1972, Stallworth had decided to play for the Super-Super-
sonics in the NBA and had turned down an offer from an ABA team.
In his first season at Seattle, Stallworth proved himself to be professional material. He played with and against the best in the business and scored consistently, exhibiting several times that Stallworth-style by scoring 30 points or more.
So Stallwalt was, and had good reason to be, confident in his second year with Seattle. Last season, however, luck turned against him.
"I really played a lot my first year," he
said Tuesday. '1' started some of the time and played in most every game.
"This year I had two injuries, though," he said. "In the second exhibition game I fractured my ankle. Then I rushed the healing process and just didn't let nature take its way. In January I hyperextended my knee."
Stallworth missed the rest of the season and almost disappeared entirely. Supersonic Coach Bill Russell put him on the injury-waived list, thinking no team would pick up his contract while he was injured.
Thomas, who will be a sophomore at KU, played last year for Palm Beach Junior College in West Palm Beach, FL, where as a freshman he was a member of the state doubles championship team and was in singles among Florida junior colleges.
Howard announced yesterday the signing of three prospects to national scholarship agreements. The three are Jeff Thomas and Tim Headke, both junior college standouts, and Bill Flynn, from Southwest High School in Kansas City, Mo.
A new NBA expansion team, the New Orleans Jazz, thought differently.
Headick, a transfer from Long Beach Junior College in Long Beach, Calif., was ranked in the top eight California junior colleges. He will win the state's juco sportsmanship award.
Tennis Coach Sought New Recruits Signed
Flynn, sought by nearly all Big 8 schools, was the prep singles runnerup in Missouri this year. He is ranked No. 10 in the Missouri AAA region for the 16-year-old age group.
Walker said all applicants must have at least a baccalaureate degree and a successful background in teaching or coaching tennis. Deadline is July 1.
The announcement followed the decision of tennis coach Mike Howard to resign in order to concentrate on his duties as ticket manager. Howard served in the dual role for seven years and won't officially relinquish his coaching duties until a replacement is named.
"I was surprised they took me and so was Russell," he said. "He just didn't figure anyone we had take with my knee the way it was."
Tompkins, a freshman from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., takes 30-9 dual record in singles competition to the meet. He was runner-up to 8 singles竞赛 at the tournament.

Bill Timpkins and Bill Clarke, mainstays on this year's Jayhawk tennis team, leave this week for the NCAA championships, scheduled for June 17-22 in Los Angeles. The pair will compete in both singles and doubles competition.
The pair have combined for an 32-4 doubles record this year. They were second in No. 3 doubles competition at the league meet.

What could it be about teaching basketball to a large group of kids for six hours every day?
$850,000 contract and a job from only August. May not do too much in the summer.
"The summer I'm going to play in the Harlem Professional Tournament sponsored by Mohl Oil," he said. "Then later in the summer Ive got to report to summer team. But I always try to get into a good league. Plus I go here."
"Here is the Ted Owens basketball camp held throughout this week in Lawrence. Stallwalt has been a counselor every week because of his reasons for counseling are good ores.
"In Seattle we had four different coaches and they all had different ideas," he said. "They've got the players so pretty soon I think they'll get it together—'it's just a matter of time. They're kind of inexactly together much; that’s their only problem."

"I just have a thing," he said, "where I share some of my knowledge of the game with the kids and they can pick up some of the other moves and fundamentals from watching and playing. It's a helpful kind of thing."
"I come back because I like the people and I like to help people out," he said, smiling.
"I've become more aggressive in the pros," he said. "You've got to be that way. You're not going to be more aggressive in another position. I've got to pay more defense and do more rebounding."
Stallworth said his style in college-good defense and an excellent outside shot had worked for him.

Stallworth said that all phases of the game were important and that he tried to cover the game completely. He said sportsmanship was very important to learn along with playing as a team and learning to love the game by watching and listening.
