Adoption of Elmore gives Kings a lift
7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP1)-Len Elmore went from the orphanage to the NBA Tuesday night.
University Daily Kansan
The five-year veteran from Maryland was acquired by Kansas City from the Indiana Pacer Tuesday morning and midnight as part of a trade against the Houston Rockets that night.
Although Elmorre had not played a game with the Pacers all season because of a rupture in the elbow against the Kings and responded with seven points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Kansas City at 17-13 (13-12).
Elmore's physical conditioning was noticeably absent but his enthusiasm was there.
“It’s like getting hit in the face with a cold gust of air,” said Eimore of the trade. “It wakes you up. It adds to your emotions. I haven’t lost any winning ways since my rookie year. It’s like a life lesson. Indiana and adopted by Kansas City.
I felt outside of the Pacer team concept. Even though I attended all the workouts during the five weeks I had my hand in the cast, at training camp, I
didn't feel a part of the team. All I could do was run laps."
Elmore was acquired for a second round 1980 draft pick. The Midwest team made the transition to mediate help at center, since Mike Green is nursing a fractured arm and Tom Burleson is still rust from almost eight months of inactivity because of a broken knee.
Etmore saw his first action less than 10 minutes into the game and King coach Bill Lacey confided in his new 6-9 pivot to use him at the start of the fourth quarter when the Kings were down.
Elmore responded with five points in the first half and four points to help the Kings pull within a 98-97. Kansas City eventually won on a 16-foot jump by Phil Ford with five seconds just before the buzzer.
"I can't say I was happy with the way I played," said Alimone of his debut in a Kansas City uniform. "Cotton told me before the game to rebel about it. The people around me made it easier. There was no real oreal pressure."

KANSAS City, MO. (UPI) - It may not have been the biggest victory in Oklahoma history. And it may not even have been the biggest victory in Barry Sutser's head injury.

Boxer dies from injuries
NEW YORK (AP)—Middleweight boxer Willie Classen died last night of injuries suffered in a bout last week. He was 29.
Classen, a 159-pounder, had taken an eight-count with 15 seconds remaining in the ninth round against unbeaten Wilfred Scroff Houston last Friday at Madison Square Garden a Felt Forum. When the ball touched the ground in final round, Classen remained on his stool.
Classen's handlers, headed by manager Marco Minuto, lifted him from the seat and put him under his arm. He raised his hands and went down after being hit twice with rights by Scypon, who was also shot in the shoulder.
Dr. Richard Iquardo of the New York State Athletic Commission said he talked to Classen between the ninth and 10th rounds of the high school basketball season said he was all right and wanted to continue.
Nebraska the favorite and Oklahoma the underdog in their Big Eight showdown match.
But the oddsmakers did not take into account the fact that the nation's best team was up against the game. And Sims went out in the style befitting a Heisman Trophy winner, rushing for 24 yards against a defense that had averaged an average of 67 yards per game on the ground.
"You may never see another one like him at Oklahoma," Switzer said.

Sims finished the season with 1,506 rushing yards and a nation-leading 22 touchdowns—even though he did not score against Nebraska. A questionable clipping in the first quarter took care of that, calling out a 84-yard touchdown run by Sims.

They get responsibility faster in the Navy. An ensign less than a year out of college may run a division of thirty men, a lieutenant (j.g.) a department of fifty or more. By the time he makes full lieutenant - age 24 or 25 - an officer can have more managerial experience than most civilians do at thirty.
