Williams and Griffin can play "subject to the normal discretion possessed by a head football coach to utilize the players on his football squad in the manner most appropriately desired by him," the modified order says.
McWilliams said, "Frankly, in my opinion, it means if they're physically ready to play, forget the legal situation. It's up to the coach."

Enroll
enrolment of 2,367 compared to 2,308 enrolled last year.
Chancellor Gene A Budgid said in a prepared statement the records enrollment showed that students had confidence in the University
"It is apparent that large numbers of very able students continue to find our academic programs most attractive," he said. "These students believe in the benefits of academic programs here."
Burd said the University must continue to attract top students to stay competitive among other institutions.
The University's full-time equivalency enrollment, which is used by the Kansas Legislature to determine a budget for the University's operating fund, was not available yesterday.
The figure is calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours by average full time credit course loads. For undergraduates, the average course load is 15 hours; for law students, 12 hours; and for graduate students, nine hours.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences led the University with an increase of 571 students or a 23 percent total enrollment of 10,854 students.
Robert Lineberry, dean of the College, said he could only speculate why enrollment had increased in the College. He said it was due to the selection of what students are doing in universities across the nation

Athletic Director Monte Johnson presented the official Hall of Fame portrait of Mr. Nesmith to him, and it now hangs in Allen Field House. He was also given the keys to a new Oldsmobile Delta 98 that had been bought for him by the K Club with donations from former KU athletes.

Temple said Mr. Nesmith was nationally recognized and respected as an outstanding trainer
"Dean worked in the years when they didn't have a lot of the fancy machines," he said. "He had great diagnostic ability and was able to return injured players to action quickly."
"He wouldn't let anyone play if there was any chance of further injury. But he had a unique ability to get those players who were physically ready but mentally fearful back on the field."
Gary Hunter, assistant athletic director and a KU football and basketball player in the early 1960s, agreed.
