Walk-ons finally play in KU laugher
By KEVIN BERTELS
Sports Writer
Gays like David Magley and Body Neal spent a lot of time on the bench an freshman, appearing only when the game was either well in hand or poorly in hand. They know the pledge of the substitute.
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's top seven players, will watch the Red team, 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 do them 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 got 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 defeating Tennessee State 88-80.

Their top player than has been junior guard Glenn Napier, who scored 30 points in the first game of the Eagle Classic on 9-19 shooting, mostly from the 20-to-30-foot range.
But Morehead State should be a dire team, with the Mountaineers and Saturday in the tournaments, and traveling Sunday.
Saturday night's game against Oral Robers was surprisingly easy. Gary "Cat" Johnson, the Titans 5-4oot 1-speedster, sat out much of the game and scored inscribed Oral Robers 48-39 and shot 67 percent.
TITAN COACH Ken Hayes wouldn't say why he joined down but he did say that his team needs more players.
"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. U. Ohio, Chicago, Iowa Conference teams. They come in here without notetty and play really well."
"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."
Sometime today San Diego State will anounce its new head football coach. It won't be John Hadl.
WILT CHAMBERLAIN, the former all-verything pro and KU collegian, will return to Philadelphia's Spectrum Wednesday night for the first time since his playing days. Champion of the league this season is 57 Philadelphia 76ers, will join his former teammates in a ceremony honoring that team.
The 1968-67 76ers was voted the greatest in NBA history in a special poll of basketball writers this year. Other members of the team were Mike McCarthy, Wally Jones, Luke Jackson and Hail Greer.
Hadi, Kansas' offensive coordinator,
has one five finalists for position
until the draft.

All scored in double figures in the Eagles' victory in their tournament as did the two postmen, starter Jeff Tipton, a 6-8-foot 10-freshman and backup Albert Spencer, a 6-4-foot 9-senior. If they were threed, an Owens inspects, their problem will be compounded by a lack of proven depth.
Chamberlain has declined various invitations to return since his retirement in 1973
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, 6-foot-6 junior forward Greg Coldiron and 6-foot-6 sophomore forward Eddie Childress.

Louisville plays K-State in Manhattan Jan. 3 and Missouri in Louisville Jan. 18.
In a prepared statement released Friday afternoon, Hadi said, "I was very honored that the people at San Diego State were interested in me as
scoring most of its points on layups in the second half.
The team is expected to ask Chamberlain's permission to retire his 13 jersey at some point. The other two players will be retired.
