Cagers face tough season

the all the men's basketball team has to do, says coach Ted Owens, is work hard, shoot and pass well and forget that six lettermen are gone.

It also will help to remember that the three heralded recruits are merely freshmen, he says, and probably won't work miracles for a while.
"We lost five seniors," Owens said. "It's not going to be easy to replace them."
Three of the seniors—center Koen Keniens and forwards Clint Johnson and John Douglas—started on the 'Hawks' 24-5 Big Eight championship team. The other two, two players, were Kyle Moore, the sixth man, provided a tough back-up in Owens' liberal substitution plan.
THE OTHER letterman, junior Scott Anderson, packed his bags for Evansville, Ind., University, but the NCAA said the school could offer immediate eligibility to players after its entire team died in a plane crash last season.
Owens recouped some of the loss—55 percent of the scoring and 45 percent of the rebounding—in a single day of letter-of-intent signing. He got only three players, but those three were among the hottest properties on the prep circuit.
They are Tony Guy, a 6-4 guard from Towson, Med.: David Magley, a 7-4 forward from South Bend, Ind., and Mark Snow, a 6-10 center from LesMea, Calif.
Snow finished his high school years with 1,404 points, 18 fewer than the other famous center from Helix High School - Bill Walton. He scored 14 points and nine rebounds as a senior.
GY MUAY five All-America lists, with 23 points a game, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Magley averaged 25 points and 13 rebounds and was named the best player in Indiana.
"I hear a lot of people say, 'Well, you had a good recurrent year,' but it isn't fair to me," she said.

those five veteran players," Owens said.
"IF WE'RE GOING to be the kind of team we were last year, some will have to come up with new recruits, and we've improved from our all returns."
ALTHOUGH THEY'LL make the usual
"They're a little more mature. They're all good shooters, but also good passers. They're all good students, so they shouldn't have any traumas."
freshman mistakes, he said, he seemed to save more than the standard faith in them.
The Jayhawks will need a lot of help from Mac Statcup, Johnny Crawford and Chester Giles in replacing Koenigs and Von Moore, Owens said.
Stallcup, a 6-4 forward, and Crawford, a 6-8 forward, didn't play much last season. Giles didn't play at all after a knee injury he suffered from an injury he beamed by the start of practice this year.
"HE'S GOT THE same problems as he had a year ago," Owens said. "He has to learn the system and regain confidence in his knee."
Moe Foewler, a 6-1 guard with jumping
beaches, was chosen to be assessed when practice starts in October.
Center Paul Mokeski (7-1) and forward Brad Sanders (54), both seniors, will play on Friday.
Darnell Valentine, the freshman who led the team to Big Eight titles in the Holiday Tournament and regular-season play and to an NCAA berth, will return next week from
Chester Giles
a trip to Russia, where he played in an international tournament.
He averaged a team-high 13.5 points, and ran up 193 assists and 80 steals last year. United Press International named him third-team All-American.
