KU Big Men Dave Robisch (40) and Roger Brown (55)
... picked in third and fourth round
Robisch, Brown Drafted
By United Press International
Six Big Eight Conference basketball players, led by Cheese Mele, were selected Monday in the first four rounds of the National Basketball Association draft.
Meely, the highest scorer in Big history, was the only first-round forward was chosen by the San Diego Rockets. He was the sixth.
Nebraska's Marvin Stewart, the most prolific scorer in Cor-
nusker history, was nicked by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round.
Okaloosa's Clifford Ray and Kansas' Dave Roche went in business together by the Chicago Bears before Robisch was picked by the Boston
Another Jayhawk, 6:10 Grip Brown, was selected in the fourth round by Los Angeles. Missouri's Jayhawk was second round to the Milwaukee Rucks.
That was all of the Big Eight players selected, although two
May, Patek Key Royals
FORT MYERS. Fla. (UPI) - Big Jerry May and little Freddie Patek, both obtained from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a winter trade, are two reasons why the Kansas City Royals are hoping to win their third place finish of the last two years in the American League West.
former conference athletes got the call Amos Thomas, who played for Oklahoma State, transferred to Southwest Oklahoma State was chosen by the game.
The righthanded May is expected at least to platoon as the Royals' catcher, and possibly be the Number one man, and Patek-1 at 5-feet 4 the smallest man in the major leagues—is expected to glue the infield by taking over at shortstop.
Mike Johnson enrolled at Kansas State in the fall of 1989, but quit school before the school year was selected in the round by Phoenix Suns, where Cotton Fitzsimons is coach. Fitzsimons was coach at Kansas State and abbreviated appearance there.
Otis, who was obtained from the New York Mets a year ago for third baseman Joe Foy, was the "big one" acquired in trades then, and if the Pirates deal with the Royals will be mighty happy.
Actually, the outfield is the Royals' big strength. In center field is Ames Otis, who had a 15-4 record in the year in addition to his top-netchielding and was the first Royals' player ever to appear in an all-star game. But he quite tilt his battle-worth= was tied for the league lead in doubles, third in triples, seventh in total hits, fifth in runs, in 18th and 29th.
Otherwise, Bob Lemon, starting his first full season as coach in 1987, replacing Charlie Medin in mid-season 1970, will be calling on pretty much the same group of players he once faced in Royal's case that it's good, because it's a young club with several developing players who may be better prepared.
Otis will be flanked in the outfield by Lou Piniella, who came back from a May injury to bat 301, the first Royal to hit over 300, in left field and possibly see Lee Curtis back. He hit 122 when he tore up his right leg sliding on June 28 and missed the season.
Also available in the outfield are veteran Carl Taylor, an outfielder for the 249, John Maris, where he played from the Chicago White Sox with a record as a .300 hitter four times and league leagues, and George Springs.
Bob Oliver, the Royals' top power hitter with 27 homers and 99 runs batted in is back for first time since 1984. Second, Patek. Hit him 245 last year with the Pirates, takes over at short with his speed and good defensive play. The Royals who led the International League in stolen bases on his way up to the Pirates, will be given the win in a game more often with the Royals.
Paul Schalb blossomed in late season 70 when he was given a chance to play three base fielder positions and made mark after a late splurge, and the Royals are hoping he has arrived. Also in the field are the Chicago Cubs and Gail Hopkins, Hopkins, acquired from the White Sox, had an excellent pinch-hitting record and filled in at first base and catching.
May, 6-2 and 200 pounds, was the Pirates' Number one catcher for 2½ seasons until benched by an injury.
The Royals gave up a top starting pitcher in the Pirates'

Lemon had the Royals playing 500 ball from Hall, 17 until the end of last season, and the team is whether that was "for real."

Robisch joined fellow seniors Pierre Russell, Roger Brown and Greg Douglas in receiving inimental gifts from the coaching staff.
Russell was also bestowed with the Captain's Award, given annually to the man chosen team captain by team members. The award was presented by last year's captain, Chester Steiner, who served as the "entropy of everything a basketball player should be."
"I'm very proud to be captain of the 1970-71 team," Russell said when asked about the bunch of great players who really put it together. Even though we didn't bring the trophy back from Houston we were very close
Brown was also presented a trophy initiated this only year for being the club's top rebounder. Kansas assistant Sam Miranda, who played this year by several universities during the nation looking for new basketball coaches, reaffirmed his devotion to KU.
Former KU coach Dick Harp was also present and supported Miranda's feelings.
"The greatest experience of my life has been being a part of Kansas University basketball," he said.
"In the seven years I've been assistant to Ted we have never had a club that has four championships like this one," he said. "We've got Jayhawk Classic, Big Eight Tournament, Big Eight Conference and the Midwest Regional. 'Kansas basketball is almost unreal nation wide.' It's the biggest about Kansas basketball. In fact the farther away the better the press coverage. Being a part of this is a tremendous honor. It is something to play basketball at and it is something to coach at the University of Kansas."
Owens, in closing out the
banquet, thanked the squad for helping the coaching staff "realize a lifetime dream and coach in the national finals."
He then challenged next year's team to aim for the same accomplishments of this year.
