'Shue' is Now On Other Foot
NEW YORK (UPI) -How often have they said the "shue" on other foot when Baltimore's bullets suddenly hit on target?
Coach Gene Shue's feet were solidly planted today as Baltimore went after its third straight playoff victory over New York and the chance of gain a 3-2 lead over the Knicks in their best-of-seven Basketball Association Eastern Conference playoff finals.
The Bullets jump into Madison Square Garden last week and were carried out on the short end of a 200 count as New York swept the first two games. A power handerder for the power less bullets.
Now "The Shue is on the other foot." Baltimore has the momentum to clean up the series in six games—if Willis Reed's shoulder impairment remains permanent.
Despite star forward Gus Johnson and stellar backcourtman Kevin Lougher's injuries, the Bullets fired back with two players who were the loudest since the bombardment of Fort McHenry.

It was just one shot. One game. I know that all I had to play. You can get yourself up for one game. And you can get yourself up for another and of emotion for a whole series."
Reed, still suffering from the intense pain of a sprained right shoulder, calls tonight's fifth game "the decisive game of the series." Right so. If Reed can't right arm over his shoulder, he are on the boards, the Knicks are in for additional trouble.

A notoriously slow starter, Powell has had springs in which he batted 100 points below his 250 pounds and spent hours studying form instead of watching Christina Loren on the Late Late Movie.
"That's my job anyway," says the 6-foot, 4-inch Powell, "driving in runs with the long ball."
There's no such aggravation this spring as Powell has his average right at the 20-mark man on Saturday. The AL with 11 runs batted in and three homers. It's no coincidence that the Orioles have won six of seven games and already have a lead in the Eastern Division.

Kansas Sportswriter Ben Hewlett KU Harvey Greer had received a number of offers to coach at other schools. Greer had other plans for the job, but he mind that he wanted to coach at Kansas. He had already made a donation to a graduate assistant when John Mitchell took the head coaching job at Alabama. Mitchell's team won two straight games as assistant coach.

Greer Wanted to Coach at Kansas
That was two years ago.
After graduating from the University of Missouri at Kansas State, he took a job as assistant track coach in Argentine City. In 1961 he moved to Central as freshman coach. He then took over head coaching duties.
While at Central Greco coached five all-Americans. Also while at Central Greko took a four month training program for department assignment to coach the national track team of Iraq. The team also offers from the state department.
While head coach Greer built an over all record of 88 wins, one loss and one tie. Included in that record were four third-place eight Missouri indoor and outdoor state championships. The only win they finished first finish they took second place.
In 1968 he married Joe Laurizen of Courtland. Their honeymoon was a little different than the other two third party, Walter Gibbs. Gibbs

Karl Saib and Steve Wihlem, who have been performing consistently well, are two track men in the band, good scholastic records as well.
When asked about this year's team Greer said the Jayhawks are an extremely young group and only lose one runner next year.
Greer is also in charge of recruiting for the track team. He has a road trip Greer will stay over a few extra days to recruit in that area. He says many young athletes are attracted to KU and Greer, so they use road schedule and also because it is such a strong power in track.
When asked if he planned on staying at KU he said, "Any assistant coach wants to be a head coach."
But Greer is happy at KU enjoys working with coach Andy Heller and his Timmons. Greer said "he gives you complete responsibility and a great job."
Greer also does some writing and has had 12 articles on track published and has written a book called Track and Field—which was published in Arabic. Greer noticed the shortage of books on the subject in that area of the country needed to do something about it.
