Walk-ons finally play in KU laugher
By KEVIN BERTELS
Sports Writer
Guya like David Magley and Body Neal spent a lot of time on the bach as freshmen, appearing only when the game was either well in hand or out of hand. They know the plight of the subhitts.
Saturday night against Oral Roberts, the opportunity arose for the substitutes to play when Kansas blew out the Titans in the second half. Magley, Neal and the rest of KU top seven as the reserves are called in practice. All were pleased with what they saw.
They saw Jeff Konek, a freshman guard, score 2 points and provide some fancy ballhandling. They saw Mark Summers, a sophomore junior college transfer, score a basket. They saw every player on KU's bench play, down to the last walk-on.
AFTER THE GAME, a 90-68 KU victory, few of the regulars would talk about their personal performances. All were excited about the substitutes' play.
"They deserve a chance to play." Neal said. "It is a good feeling to see them do well."
Magley went a bit further in defining the role of the substitute.
"They hit some shots that were just beautiful," he said. "Those guys play the bench role well, waiting until they get a chance to play, keeping fired up and playing hard in practice. It's just beautiful that they get to play. They deserve a lot of credit. They are the heart of the team."
The "heart of the team" should get the chance to play a bit more in tonight's game at Allen Field House against Morehead State. Tipoff is at 7:35 p.m.

MOREHEAD STATE will bring a team undefeated in four games to Lawrence. The Eagles won their own tournament, the Eagle Classic, Saturday night defeat Tennessee State 88-80.
Their top player thus has been junior guard Glenn Napier, who scored 30 points in the first game of the Eagle Classic on 9-of-19 shooting, mostly from the 20-to-30-foot range.
But Morehead State should be a tired team, after playing Friday and Saturday in the tournament and traveling Sunday.

"It will be a problem for them that they play Friday and Saturday and then travel here," KU Head Coach Ted Owens said. "That will be tough for them and it should be an advantage for us. I have great request for Ohio Valley Conference players in here without notoriety and play really well."
Saturday night's game against Oral Roberts was surprisingly easy. Gary "Cat" Johnson, the Titans 5-10 foot speedster, sat out much of the game while he intercepted Oral Roberts 40-38 and shot 67 percent.
"I'm not pointing the finger at our guards, but I'm unhappy with our offensive options," he said. "I've got to find somebody with discipline
TITAN COACH Ken Hayes wouldn't say why team needed better play from the guards.
WILT CHAMBERLAIN, the former all-everything pro and KU colleague, will return to Philadelphia's Spectrum Wednesday night for the first time since his playing days. Chambers joined Philadelphia in 1965-67. Philadelphia 76ers, will join his teammates in a ceremony honoring that team.

scoring most of its points on layups in the second half.
All scored in double figures in the Eagles' victory in their tournament as did the two post men, starter Jeff Tipton, a 6-foot-10 freshman and backup Albert Spencer, a 6-foot-9 senior. If our team are tired, as Owens expects, their problem will be compounded by a lack of proven depth.
KU's next opponent, Morehead State, has been a slowdown team, relying on the shooting ability of Napier to make the offense work. If his shooting is off the Eagles will go to any of the other three returning players from last season, 6-foot-2 junior guard Norris Beckley, 4-foot-6 junior forward Greg Coldron and 4-foot-6 sophomore forward Eddie Childress.

Chamberlain has declined various invitations to return since his retirement in 1973.
The team is expected to ask Chamberlain's permission to retire his 13 jersey at some point.

Depression dampens some holiday spirits

Shoppers rush around, busily searching for the perfect gift, parties are held almost daily and warmth and cheer are felt everywhere—almost.

Christmas is the loneliest time of the year for some people.
to correct it can either lead him to professional help or to feeling better.
Everyone experiences loneliness or depression at one time in his or her life, but Christmas can bring out feelings that are hidden other times, said Gary Bryant, leader of a Coping With Christmas Workshop conducted in Lawrence.
A person is able to cope with the loneliness and the depression, only after he has admitted that he or she feels lonely and is able to accept it. Bryant said.
The symptoms of a depressed person are sadness, apathy, inertia, fatigue, hopelessness, increased self criticism and generosity of interest in usual activities, he said.
THE WORKSHOP deals with loneliness and depression felt before the Christmas season, not the ledown that everyone goes to for Christmas. The season of partying and togetherness, he said.
"That letdown experience happens behind the taper off so quickly." Bryant said.
before a death of a loved one, fear of loss of job or the loss of a job a can depress a person before a death of a loved one.
A lonely person usually is one who feels misunderstood and abandoned by family, friend or teacher.
Once one accepts the fact, then he should be able to plan Bryant's plans to correct the error.
Also, when handicapped or elderly people suffer physical ailments that may cause them to lose functions they once had, it can lead to depression, he said.
An individual's handling of the problem and whether or not he makes up his mind
CHANGING ONE'S pattern of living, learning to be alone and developing an inner life, can solve the problem, Bryant said.
Her father, she said, becomes depressed shortly after Thanksgiving, and stays that way for the rest of her life.
An inner life can be developed from such activities as religious meditation and the development of spiritual skills.
Changing one's life pattern can include becoming more focused in the type of volunteer work an individual chooses, he said.
However, if the situation does not improve, then the individual should seek permission.
Until finals are over, many students have nothing but studying and loneliness to look forward to. Christmas lights strung across a 25-by-15-foot room are almost a parody of the decorations back home and can put a damper on the holiday season.

ONE KU STUDENT said that for her Christmas probably was the worst time of the year, because things did not go well for her family then.
