KU Imports More Illinois Talent
By MARK ZELIGMAN

The state of Illinois has traditionally been a fertile area for producing University of Kansas basketball players. This year the Jayhawks have signed not only outstanding players from Illinois but also a coach who brought his star player with him.
Coch Duncan Reid and his top player, Norman Cook, are now at KU after leading Community High School of Lincoln, IL, to a 361 record and a No. 1 ranking in the state
Reid decided that the time was right to take a college coaching position.
"At this stage of my career," Reid said, "after being a high school head coach for eight years and an assistant coach for four years before that, I thought if ever I was going to make the move to college coaching, this was it."
In his career at Community High, Reid compiled a 174-33 record which included three trips to the state championship tournament.
Reid said that he had previously received head coaching offers from small colleges
and junior colleges and two offers from major colleges for an assistant coaching coach.
He said, however, that the offers weren't from places that would enhance his college education.
He decided that KU was the right place and that KU's great basketball program
and tradition were reason's for coming to Lawrence.
Cook, one of the leading players in Illinois last year, also mentioned KU's rich basketball tradition as one reason for coming here.
The 6-foot-9, 210 pounder averaged 24 points and 15 rebounds a game for Reid's Lincoln team. Cook said he had received the scholarship offers before choosing KU.
Reid said the Jayhawk coaching position had been offered to him on a Tuesday evening and he had signed Cook the next day.
"If I can't recruit my own players," Reid said, "I'm not going to be much of a
Reid said that Cook had a chance to be an outstanding player at KU.
"Norman is a very fine athlete," he said. "He has good shooting range, mobility and quickness, which is unusual for a man his size.
"I have found him to be a cooperative young man who has his head on straight in regard to securing a degree as well as becoming a fine basketball player."
Reid said that he was strong in favor of the recent NCAA rule change allowing freshmen to compete on the varsity level. He said that if a freshman was good enough to cook, Cook, who has won a starting position as forward, apparently in good enough.
Reid has a definite coaching philosophy.

role. He needs to be
must really enjoy working with a young man. Any
coach, to be a success, has to be somewhat of a dictator on the court. Off the court, however, he must be able to adjust to everyday problems that arise and keep in close contact with the way his players and students in general are thinking."
He also oversees the players' study hall program, a job that entails making sure students understand the rules.
Reid's duties as assistant coach at KU include recruiting and scouting of opponents, being in charge of the junior varsity and working with the varsity.
Recognized as an outstanding teacher of defensive play in Illinois, Reid said that playing good defense was a necessity to win. He said that this didn't curtail an intensive offer.
As a newcomer to KU basketball, which has been disappointing the past two seasons, Reid said that he was optimistic about the future.
He said people in sports tended to forget quickly, and he emphasized that the Jayhawks had gone to a post-season tournament five of the last eight years.
Jaynes Jumps From Bowl to Bowl
"This year we have a great attitude," he said. "We have great leadership in Kim Vixtio and Dave Taylor. There have been no signs of bad morale."
Life is just a bowl of bowls. At least that's what it must seem like to University of New York students.
The Jayawhack All-American will participate in four post-season bowl games in the playoffs.
The next day he will leave for San Francisco to quarterback the West team in the Shrine East-West all-star game. Jaynes was put up by Bentley, but the game because it is not played until Dec. 20.
Jaynes will be joined in San Francisco by KU's Don Godeff, defense end, and coach Don Fambrigh. Fambrigh will be an assistant coach for the West squad.
Sooners Favored Over OSU
The Big Eight title race has been decided, and three conference teams are going to bowl games. But there is a little unfinished business left.
Oklaahoma, the conference champion, will meet intrastate rival Oklahoma State at Stillwater. Iowa State, which has played in the N.C. Conference meets San Diego State on the West Coast
The Kansan prognosticators suffered their worst week of the season last week, picking two games incorrectly. Their season record now stands at 41-10, 80-3.
This week:
Oklahoma 35, Oklahoma St. 10
The Sooners are out to prove once and for all that they are the best in the country. The intrastate rivalry may have some effect on the outcome, but the Cowboys will get pounded just as everybody else has.
San Diego St. 21, Iowa State 17
The Cyclones played extremely well in their victories over Missouri and Oklahoma State. They also defeated Jesse Freitas, the nation's leading sportster.
The next stop for Jaynes will be Honolulu for the Hula Bowl on Jan. 5.
A week later the KU quarterback will be playing in the Senior Bowl in Mobile.
A week later the KU quarterback will be playing in the Senior Bowl in Mobile. Jaynes said that having fun is the main purpose of these all-star games.
"But I'm not going to these bowls to jack around," he added seriously. "I'm going to put in a good effort during practices and try to play best."
Besides KU fans, there will be many other interested observers watching Jaynes perform. Among the most critical for sports writers and professional sports instructors.
According to many scouts and newsmen, Jaynes may be the first quarterback selected in the National Football League draft early next year.
SUMMER COUNSELING
Besides Jaynes and Goode, other Jayhawk seniors are expected to be invited to play in a post-season bowl. Among the possible participants are running back Delvin Williams, defensive tackle Mitch Sutton, defensive back Rocky Bron, center Mike McDaniel and offensive tackle John Bryant.
