McCullers excited about Miami
By PATTY BEHAN Kansan Staff Writer
Behind every successful college football coach are several assistant coaches who get little of the publicity afforded to their bosses. Charlie McCullers is one of these unsung heroes for the Kansas Jayhawks.
McCullers coaches the offensive backs of the KU football team and also acts as a counselor and friend to the players.
"I hope that they come to me, they have in the past and I hope they do in the future."
McCullers is especially excited about going to the Orange Bowl because he is a native of Florida.
"Certainly feels great—haven't seen some of my friends in so long they don't think I exist anymore," he said.
He started playing football in the seventh grade and has been living, eating and sleeping football ever since.
"In the seventh grade I played single wing center and in high school I played quarterback," he said.
McCullers went to college at the University of Tampa where he played halfback for the team. His greatest claim to fame in football came when he was a senior.
"We were playing the University of Tennessee. We were back on the 20-yard line and we had to kick the ball," he said. "The center snapped the ball back to me and I dropped it. I fell on the
Flu hits 5 Cats
MANHATTAN, Kan. (UPI)— Five Kansas State University players were down with flu today on the eve of the annual Sunflower Doubleheader basketball clash.
The five were Eddie Smith, Terry Snider, David Lawrence, Steve Honeycutt, and Wheeler Hughes, who were restricted to quarters. Basketball practice was cancelled yesterday.

ball; I was scared to death. The next time on a fourth down situation, we had to punt and I dropped it again and out of sheer fright I picked the ball up and ran 89 years for a touchdown. That made the score 6-0. I will not expound on the rest of the scoring of the game."
Tampa lost that game by a great margin.
McCullers first job as a coach was an assistantship at Tampa. While coaching there, he met Pepper Rodgers. Rodgers was coaching at Florida.
McCullers came to KU as a part of the Rodgers' troup.
McCullers' wife Jackie was his high school sweetheart. They were married on Dec. 23, 1961.
"The reason for getting married at this time was to combine Christmas and our anniversary." McCullers said.
The McCullers have three children: Mark, 6; Sharon, 4; and Karen. 3.
Major League All the Way
Asked what he thought of football today, McCullers said, "I think it's a lot tougher today. The athletes are much more highly trained. It would be a lot harder to play football today than when I played."
DETROIT (UPI) — Al Kaline, who marked his 16th consecutive season with the Detroit Tigers by starring in the World Series, never played an inning of minor league ball. Kaline went right from high school to a spot as the Tigers' right fielder.
