Busy Gym Coach Farms

Kansas Sports Writer
What instructor at a Kansas university lives on a 262-acre horses, chickens, dogs and cats a bucolic professor from Kansas State University? Wrong. It's Bob Lockwood, University of Kansas.
"I grew up in Lawrence.",
"I learn I loved it and all my life
I would love to do it. I could drop my line in a fish pond
or run down the river to shoot a
paintball."
"I bought this place near McLouth, a 15-minute drive from here, about four years ago. I've been on it for two weeks on two more. There is plenty of timber, pasture and wildlife. It is an ideal situation for me, my dog and our family."
Besides his agricultural activities, Lockwood has duties KA utra menal director, tennis coach and gymnastics coach. In the summer he manages the municipal swimming pool.
HOW DOES he get everything done?
*Sometimes* I *wonder*
Luckwood said, "I work twelve
hours a week and I vacation
because I enjoy what I do
so much. Time really goes
by."
"Sometimes being intramural director interferes with coaching and training," the former also director of the Big Eight gymnastics meet, which will be held in New York.
"The duties of meet director are taking me away from the boys right at the time I should be coming," she said. "I practice quite a bit right now."
Lockwood said that his absence should have little affect on the gymnasts.
"We try to develop in the kids the 'maturity to go through with' that they need, and Loeckard said. "I've found that if a kid needs to be pushed, he will be a medicine athlete. The really fun thing is that we train him to work out on their own."
LOCKWOOD HAS developed his coaching philosophy during nine years at KU.
"A gymnastics coach must be three things, a clinician, a programmer and a strategist," he said.
Bob Lockwood
"First, you must know the aspects of each event through observation. Then make adjustments with a boy's routine and assist him in making adjustments."
Second, you have to organize workout for each type of exercise you want to participate in different events and therefore need different routines.
"Third, you must be a strategic planner. You must prepare your team to meet the peak performance on the day of the meet. You must be sure they are ready."
"FOR EXAMPLE, a couple of years ago K-State came in for a dual meet. Robinson Gym was
packed and the KU band, yell leaders and pompon girls were there.
"It made chills run up and down your spine when the band played 'I'm a Jay, Jay, Jayhawk. The boys were so that they did their routines too quicky and lost points.
"I had to call them together
"I had to call them together
not overtly, we first started
hitting our routines, but it was too
late. We lost by seven tenths of
Lockwood said that this had been an enjoyable year despite KU's 4-5 dual record.
"We had a lot of young athletes who experienced much, but I really enjoyed coaching them. They have improved, and that's what we do."
Looking forward to next year, Lockwood said that KU should have an improved team.
"Our younger athletes, of course, should be improved," he said. If all the top high school masseuses that they would like to come to KU do enroll here, then our program will be in very fine
KU will host K-State in a dual at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Allen Field House.
UCLA's Walton Tabbed AP Player of the Year
NEW YORK (AP)—Sophomore Bill Wallon of UCLA, who looks like Huckleberry Finn and plays like Superman, Wednesday was named college basketball player for the year by the Associated Press.
The red-claired,灯笼-shaped center was given a 3-march over Dwight Lamar, the nation's leading scorer from Iowa State and nationwide voting by sports writers and broadcasters.
Walton dominated the balloting the same way he dominated the opposition this year, leading Bruns to a 2-0 record. Studied Bruins to a 2-6 end.
THE AVERAGE of 21 points and 15 rebounds a game didn't tell the entire story of the 6-foot-11 star.
Others receiving votes were Virginia's Parkhill Doug Collins of Illinois State and Henry Walton's senior teammate.
"I've never seen a player who makes the outlet pass and starts the fast break as well," said UCLA Coach John Wooden, "He
"our opponents hit in the 30 per cent range during the year and Walton is greatly responsible for that. Not only because of the bad blocks, but because the team is always looking for him."
does so many things that don't
do show up in the box score, like
intimidation. How do you
measure that?
WALTON, WHO COMPARES favorably to Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul Jabbar (Lew Alcinder) in their collegiate prime, is deceptive in appearance. He has thin legs and curled hair. Floppy, carrot coated hair puts a pale, frail-looking face.
"I think you have to be a real student of the game to appreciate the way Bill plays, said Caitlin. "We play the playmaker." We are only now beginning to realize how good he is. With Bill back there on defense, the rest of us can afford him to play. We can cheat on our fast break."
He plays with tendonitis in both knees and must undergo physical
therapy each day before he puts on his uniform.
Once a game starts, however,
he seems remarkably healthy.
He has a fine shooting touch from
his right hand, and he tremends
tremendous defender. Perhaps
his most impressive maneuver,
though, is his lead pass on the fast
break. Opposing coaches say he
may be the only other country in
the country.
Walton's sophomoric environment requires the bench and keeps up a constant chatter to himself and opponents, has baffled teammates.
As for statistics, he shot 63 per cent from the field, 70 per cent from the foul line and had a game-high point production of 37 Oregon and 24 rebounds against both Washington and Texas.
Walton, a modest type, shies from publicity.
"I don't like to be singled out as an individual because we don't play as individuals, we play as a team," said Walton.

"The kids say everyone over 30 was treated very well," I trusted. I don't feel old. I don't feel any different than I did at 20.
"I never say anything about the government. It out of politics. This government has never treated me bad. A couple of times I lost my job. But the government gave me the vote of the Supreme Court."
He referred to the high court's ruling in favor of his objection to military service as a Muslim minister.
