KU Inks Prized Prospect
The 6.3, 210-pounder, a first team all-state choice of all three area metropolitan newspapers (Kansas City Star, Topperka Eagle), signed the Eagle, signed his scholarship agreement at a dinner party at the Glenwood Manor Hotel in Overland Park. The dinner was attended by Kansas coach Don Williams and members of the Jasmin skiff staff.
Towle is the 10th athlete from metropolitan Kansas CIG to sign with Kansas. He signed in Kansas, this spring. The Jayhawks have signed 14 others from Kansas outside the Kansas State. They signed 26 prospective gridders from the Big Eight area. The signees in the order of their signing are

Kansas has signed other non-area prospects to scholarship agreements but will not waiver the terms until until it begins letter of intent day in May. All scholarships are in effect. Eight agreements and are binding only within the conference. Only upon signing the national letter is a prospect eligible.
Two additional area prospects among others are being courted by the Jayhawks but neither has them yet. They will go. They are quarterback Bruce Adams of Bishop Miege and Dave Specht of Santa Clara University, backing it. If Kansas is able to ink one or both players it will have definitely taken the cream of the court in a major metropolitan Kansas City area.

Practice
Carr is Cleveland's Vehicle for Move Upward in NBA Standings
Spring football practice is well under way for the Kansas Jayhawks as they prepare for the upcoming 1971 season. Over 30 prospects including 36 players from the team, the head coach Dont Fambrough has scheduled for
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next four weeks. Fambridge has also scheduled serimimages for every Saturday leading up to the annual intrasquad game to be played May 1 in Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks are out to improve on last year's 5-6 season and sixth place conference finish and have already been picked for a third place finish.

There were 188 college seniors crafted by the 17 NB clubs and 23 other schools who anyone in the nation, went for Austin Carlin of Notre Dame, only one from the University of Texas.
Ever since they did, some second-guessers are saying Cleveland may have missed the boat by not going for Sidney 6-4foot 8-center generally on a number one forward in the country.
"It's like my wife needing a new car. Fitch says, 'I look at her book and my bankbook and I see she can't have both. We're very happy with Austin Carr and we need better needs than Wick's would."
"Simply this," Fitch says. "Walt Wesley came on pretty good for us at the center position. My forward positions improved."

The Cavaliers burned plenty of midnight oil before they decided to go for Carr instead of Wicks or anybody else.
"When you draft number one when check what he had for breakfast, possibly ask for a better or former or more of an all-around high type individual than Austin Carr. If ever they bring back the card, he'll be Jack Armstrong. Austin is the kind of person never

But Carr isn’t the only draft choice the Cavaliers made and Fitch speaks gloriously of some of the players like Steve Atseman and Willie Reed to Gerald “Holopez” Lockett, 6-7. “We still need to take care of our rebounding by getting felikes from him,” says the Cleveland coach

Two KU men, Kirk Gardner, Atchison senior, and Richard Sutton will be representing Kansas in the national gymnastic competition, the NCAA Championships, at Aim Sports. Gardner and Schubert qualified for the honor of participating in the Big Eight last month.
Gardner and Schubert will give their compulsory performances today and then their optional sets Friday. If they place in the top six executive events, they will move on to the final round Saturday night.
Red Auerbach, the man who brought the Boston Celtics has passed away. He says about Carr, whom he had at his summer camp at Marefield, he said: "I love it."
"I'm glad we had two weeks between conference and nationalals," said Kansas coach Bob Johnson, referring to the team that played the NCAA"It gave us a chance to really look at his compulsory set. There were a couple of spots that I didn't want to immoated them out very well."

Cats Return Most For Next Season
Wide open will be the individual statistical scoring and rebounding races in the Big Eight Conference next year with the departure of two of the greatest scorers in conference history, John Crawford and Kansas' Dave Robisch, and the leaving of the ton rebounds.
On a team basis, Kansas State returns the most starters, with all five of the Wildcats returning. Then come Iowa State, Missouri, and Oklahoma with four each. Oklahoma State and Nebraska win while Colorado and champion Kansas show two returnees.
A close look, though, doesn't indicate exactly a conference-wide rebuilding year ahead. Actually, 10 of the top 16 leading scorsers are numbered among the starters from around the Big Eight.
From the rankings, the topmost names back are Iowa State's Gen Mack, the highest scoring guard in Cyclone history. Tucker, the team's Hall, and Nebraska's Chuck Jura, the conference's field-goal
National Champs Were 28-3
For the second straight year Kansas surged through its home stretch, pushing it to push its winning streak in Allen Field House to 27. This string is even stronger than last season.
Their 21-game winning streak, snapped by NCAA championship rivals in the first half at Houston, was Kanaan's third longest in history and longest in college.

UMPS ARE NEEDED. This I know for sure. If you will recall, a similar call at the team's practice season last week in zebras was the championship season Friday and the playoffs for the championship will begin Monday. This overlap of basketball with softball poses a problem in providing the players with a balance.

The Cavaliers closed the season with Portland, another expansion club, losing by two points at the gun, and after Fitch sacked with his players in the dressing room, they gave him for giving him 100 per cent.
A funny thing happened on my way down to the intramural office yesterday. Ha ha. Hee hee. Someone working in the office found rosters for 45 more softball teams than Bob Lockwood, intramural director and softball schedule maker, thought had signed up. The punch line, ho ho, hee hee, is Lockwood had hundreds of complete schedules for what he thought was a 54 team turnout and now that he has nearly twice that number of teams the schedules are useless and all was for not. Ha?
More definite than that I can not get because Wednesday Lockwood was in the process of leaving town to coach gymnastics when the goof was found and no one else in the office has the authority to say what will be.
Well, maybe my little story isn't aidesperfect but it might explain why things will be slightly chaotic around the office for weeks.
Now, however, they may have to go to tripleheaders to handle all you fired up jocks. This would put the third game starting in the first half of the game. The coach here you guys will need to carry a flashlight to find first base after the pitcher beans you. I don't want you, schedule maker. You are not going to be there Friday only, that screwed up schedule that Lockwood wooed off. Your team is supposed to play, the office will probably call your
THE PROBLEM IS a shortage of diamonds to play on and a shortage of daylight to play in. Originally it was planned to play seven games at 4:00 Monday through Friday and have a few doubleheaders starting at 5:15 to cover the extras.
Robisch and Stallworth also combined for another Big Eight
With the need for officials in mind and the fact that the Green Wienes, "C" league basketball team, will no longer need my services as their standout (sit out) athlete I have decided that in order to stay "inside" intramural I will become an ump.
To find out more about beetling an ump I went down to 208 Robinson Gym and asked Margle(jyoucks remember that girl I told you about who can answer all types of questions) what I had to do.
To my surprise Margie has the nicest big brown eyes AND she said I don't have to go to ump school or anything, just sign up for the games I can work and fill out some forms to get on the KU team. You can do it too and ask for Margie, I'll put her in a tizzy.
“first” as they became the most teams in league history to score both more than 500 points in one season. Robbish finished with 576 and Stallworm scored 507 to reach the second two scorer with a 18.9 average.

He meant it, too, going around and making sure to shake the hand of every player on the team.
"I'm going to be happy to see them all next season," Fitch says. "I look back on this season and I'm sure you may be the best thing that ever hung on me. Anything I did wrong I'll never do again. I may have learned the hard way but I learned the quickest way. I learned the slowest way. I've always said the God of Irishman takes care of dumdum Irishman."
