Sports Didn't Stop For UDK Layoff
By DON BAKER
Kansan Sports Editor
It couldn't have been a more untimely five weeks for the knight to go out of production as far as KU sports activity was concerned.
All three major sports—football, basketball and track—were in the headlines as well as Jayhawk swimming and baseball. Some of the events had only immediate effects while others held a longer time frame. The importance of interest when others were of only regional and local interest. But all in all, as can only be expected when dealing with an athletic program such as KU enjoys, it was an eventual five weeks.
FOOTBALL TOOK the honors for the top story of national interest as Pepper Rodgers announced his resignation on Jan. 7 to accept the head coach job at UCLA. On the same day as his replacement was long-time KU aide Dona Farnbrough. An assistant at KU for 20 of the last 23 years, the 48-year-old Farnbrough retained assistants Charles Cullar, John Gulliver and Jason Coughlin. Gulliver came to the west coast with Rodgers are assistants Terry Donale, Dick Toney, Billie Matthews and Dou Weaver.
KU football also garnered much regional news with the signing of seven junior college transfer that will be eligible for pro selection. The U.S. Notre Dame Mitch Sutton of Fort Scott and Eddie Sheets (like Sutton) a first major league of the Notre Dame Mitch Sutton of Fort Scott and Eddie Sheets.
Like football, the KU outdoor team track made the national news during the "off-season" (for both track and the Kansas) when it was announced on Jan. 10 the Jayhawks, along with the Boston Crimson, had been awarded the 1970 NCAA outdoor championship.
CALIFORNIA HAD won the meet held last summer in Des Moines but it was later learned that the Golden Bears used an ineligible athlete in the process and consequently were stripped from their game. The now tri-champions who had allied for second in the meet.
While the latter falls in the "good news" department for coach Bob Timmons' "hincclads," the "bad news" department was also represented with the news that sophomore half-miler Brian McElroy has decided not to return to KU for the spring semester but transfer to an eastern school instead. Exactly which school he will transfer at this time but indications are that Villanova is his choice.
Melroy, along with pole vaulter Jan Johnson (who has since transferred to Alabama which is coached by former KU aide John Mitchell), had been dismissed from the team for misconduct. He was also back to Back in the track 'good news' department, Jim Ryun, ex-KU great and world record holder in the mile, formally announced in March 2018 that he would participate in the San Francisco Examiner Games on Jan. 22.
Also in the "good news" department is the Kansas basketball team. Ranked fifth nationally by UPI, the Jayhawks have won both the Jayhawk Classic and the Big Eight Tournament since the UDK last went to press.
IN THE CLASSIC, Bud Stallworth, Russell Pierce and Roger Brown all made the all-tournament team with the latter being named the most valuable player. Brown was so effective, both offensively and defensively, that Houston coach Gary Lewis, whose Cougars lost the championship to KU by an 89-73 score, compared the 6-10 Chicago product to LeWyn Aicondr.
"We have never been intimidated in the inside like we were tonight since we played against Alcindor." Lewis said of Brown who blocked in the neighborhood of a dozen Houston shots while scoring 23 points and grabbing 21 rebounds.
Less than two weeks later the Big Eight Tournament championship fell claim to Ted Owen's charges. Winning the first trophy with an impressive 72-52 triumph over Nebraska in the final, Brown joined 6-10 counterpart Dave Robisch as KU representatives on the five-man all team tournament team. Robisch, who had been a key contributor to the games of the affair, was also named the most valuable player.
Back to the 'bad news' department the KU eager has been told that they have no chance of being canceled. Sandy Carpell, The Wichita sophomore is recuperating from collapsed lung suffered on Jan. 11 just prior to the team's spring game in Illinois. The team will beTech the month ago. 2471 before月中旬 before Cancelled
THE KU SWIMMING team also got into the act as coach Dick Beaconon the tankers won convincingly Jan. 11 over the byan 85-64.
This past weekend the Jayhawks claimed third place in the season. Swimming Invitational in North Omaha, Okla. In that month KUFI was ranked fifth for an annual 1,500 yard freestyle with a time of 16:42. That same time would have placed Kempest sixth in year four at NCAA finals giving a win over Washington.
Finally KU baseball, which has prospectus as bright as they've been on Mount Oread for some time, got into the news in late November. The team's first win came when honored Jayhawks Cork Yulli, Skip James and Paul Womble. Ullom, a pitcher for coach Flood Temple's Hawks, was the top pitcher in last summer's Ban Johnson play and was named the manager of the year in a 10 mark for his Katz Drug to the Ban Johnson championship.

That's the way W Jim O'Brien, the long-haired 22-year-old place-kicking rookie of the Baltimore Colts, describes himself.
You can't miss O'Brien's hair.

"I was running down the field and I hit my knee on somebody's helmet who was trying to block me," O'Brien said.
Didn't the injury bother him? "Nah," said O'Brien. "It was my left knee."

"I came in and kicked a 28-yard field goal and we got, 10-14." O'Brien said without actually boasting about it.

"I wasn't cluttering up, mind with too many thoughts," he says. "I started thinking I'd taught you and I didn't wanna do that. I was going on getting my steps down. Some of the guys like Jimmy Gerr, Rav
Perkins and Tom Mitchell told me not to worry too much if I fight. But always the overtime pitcher Earl Morrall who held the ball for him also was helpful. He said, "Just walk straight through. There's no wind."
That's what O'Brien did. He wasn't nearly worried his mother was going to hurt him beforehefault his team would win but it would be close. He would have been better.
Curiously, O'Brien won a place with the Colts this year not so soon. He's been playing because he also is a backup receiver who was in his bermuda tan when he retired to remember the guy who challenged Joe Namath in a bar fight.
"I didn't play too much as a backup receiver this season," O'Brien explained. "I caught only one pass."
