Owens Recalls Teamwork Of KU's '52 Champions
By MATT BEGERT Assistant Sports Editor
The man who was the graduate coaching assistant at the University of Oklahoma in the University of Kentucky in Kansas's NCAA championship basketball team as good ball player and aggressive man-for-man defense.
That graduate assistant, now KU coach Ted Owens, played the UChamps the year before they won the title. The guard for the Sooners in 1951.
But the following season, when Owens saw the Jayhawks topple his OU squad, 71-48 and 74-55, things were different.
Owens said when he played the KK team in team with the Soonaga players of KU's AL team center. Clyde Lovelette, to left, and Lovette lovele in 1952 averaged 28 points a game and compiled a total of 1,888 in three seasons.
I WASLY really impressed with the way Loyola college started feeding the ball so well. And he was starting to become a real scoring threat," Owens recalled. "The university is still growing as a team."
The KU team began feeding effectively to the open man. Owens said, and the team had a good inside and outside attack

KU FANS have always been enthusiastic, Owens said.
"It it seems that a trademark was standing up on the bench," he said.
Owens said that the full-court press was not used by any of the players. The bench was used today. The full-court press was used mainly as a desperation tool.
But Owens remembered other things about basketball that were different from today's version of the sport.
"There is a lot more full-court pressing today, but Kansas (in 1952) played a special basketball adaptable to today's game. They are aggressive men-for-men defense at the half court." Owens said.
"BUT THE BIG change is that there are more jump shooters now than outside set shots or shooters who don't use it, the jump shot wasn't the weapon it is today." Owens said. Owens diagrammed the old-style throw circle and lane, but the larger narrower by 3 feet on each side.
"It really makes a difference," he said. "You could tighten in on the basket."
He said that the top scorer for KU's 52 team, Lovellette, didn't have any problems with the players afforded by the narrow lane.

Penal . . .
With the passage of Madden's bill, a judge would sentence a man to an evaluation at the Kansas African Center. The Kansas State would evaluate the man and the case to decide where to plague him. A convicted man could be sent to the Kansas State Penitentiary, or there is maximum-medium security, or to the Kansas State Industrial Reformatory at which it is medium-minimum security.
The bill states that ten years after a man has gained his freedom, he may petition the authorities to expunge his record. He is also the Kansas Judicial Council rectifies the measure to the state in 1970.
A PERSON requiring only minimum security would be sent to an honor camp or a halfway house. A person providing the halfway houses would provide counseling and help in adjusting to new circumstances, places would be expected to work, and they would contribute 25 per cent of their salary for the work.

The secretary of corrections would head a large professional staff. One of the divisions would have to certify city jails for use. Madison said many jails could not be certified now because their poor conditions would not meet state health standards.
Madden said the governor recommended $10.5 million be spent on energy and budget for the existing penal system. Madden said his system would cost $1 million more the next year but would decrease. He said he thought the excess money was being used considering the results he expected.

Russell, who averaged 10 points per game during his KU career, has seen only limited duty with the Colonels. And that, he said, was the most difficult event he had to make this season.

Ramer asserted that a professional team has "a strong record" when the player is signed. For it to further conspire to keep such a signing secret can be interpreted only as an attempt to damage college basketball.

RUSSELL SAID that at times he still missed college life and the KU atmosphere.
Several months ago, Villanova had to vacate its second place
To some people, the number 13 means only one thing—bad luck. But you'll never hear that from Pierre Russell.
When the former University of Maryland chose by a large margin to be chosen by the Kuckucky Colonies in the 13th round of the American Basketball Association's college draft last spring, he saw it only as an opportunity. He also only chance for the '6'4' forward to prove what he already knew—that he could make it in the pro ranks.
One thing he likes about one person is the greater opportunity for travel. He said he liked going to places and meeting different people.
"I was really happy to be drafted," he said in an interview Tuesday night. "I wasn't picked for the NBA Association), so I knew this was it. But the Colonels are a fine organization and I'm happy to be there."
"We practice differently," he said. "In college the emphasis is on fundamentals and plays. But we also teach scrimmaging. The coaches figure if you don't know the fundamentals now, it too late to learn."
"Really, though, my life hasn't

"But this is my first year in the pros and I can understand the situation. And I'm learning."
Despite his lack of playing time, Russell thinks he has disproved the critics who said he was a great basketball player and professional basketball. At the Colonels' summer rookie camp he tried out for that position, and to the surprise of more than a dozen coaches when the regular season began.
The NCAA also said it had an availvist signed by Jim McMahon, the former Kentucky All-American, that he had not signed a pro contract before his college eligibility dispute was revealed recently that McDaniels allegedly signed with the ABA Cuba Congars on Nov. 30, 1970.

"THEIR'S NO STALL or zone in the pros," he said. "You can't hold onto the ball. You have to get off in the 30 seconds or twice."
He said that although the overall calibre of competition in professional basketball was certainly higher than in the NBA, thanks to the principal reason for his success sores was the 30-second clock.
Russell said that there were no major differences in the ABXs of the two teams. He said that he definitely thought the two leagues were equal in skill.
One tingt that hasn't changed for Russell is that he's still on a winning team. And he couldn't be happier.
"Some people say the NBA plays better defense than we do," he said, "but there's some good offensive teams in the ABA too."
"Winning—that's the biggest thrill," he said. "This is a really good team. We've broken all kinds of records this year."
"We've won 50 games already. It's something we've never done before," she said, waving in 12 on a row. That's a record. I think we have a chance to win the game.
"I'm really glad to be with the Colonels," he said. "I knew it would be a hard job to make it. But I'm not sorry at all."
