Walk-ons finally play in KU laugher
8v KEVIN BERTELS
ports Writer
Guys like David Magley and Body Neel spent a lot of time on the bench as freshmen, appearing only when the game was either well in hand or out of hand. They know the plight 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 top seven with 24 points, with both the Roat 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 90-65 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 go 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.
"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 think we can do it in the valley Confederate teams. They come in here without notetaker and play really well."
TITAN COACH Ken Hayes wouldn't say why
he'd come down but he did that his team
needed better.
MOREHEAR 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.
Saturday night's game against Oral Roberta was surprisingly easy. Gary "Cat" Johnson, the Titans 5-foot 10-specier, cut out of much of the team as it scored Oral Roberta 48-35 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 to get us going."
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-uni guard Norris Beckley, 4-foot 6-juvenile forward Greg Coldron and 4-foot 6-sohmore forward Eddie Childress.
scoring most of its points on layups in the second half.
WILT CHAMBERLAIN, the former all-enlightening pro and KU collegian, will return to Philadelphia's Spectrum Wednesday night for the first time since his playing days. Champion of the Atlantic Coast, he will play 57 Philadelphia 76ers, will join his former team in a ceremony honoring that team.
Chamberlain has declined various invitations to return since his retirement in 1973.
All scored in double figures in the Eagles' victory in their tournament as did the two post men, starter Jeff Tipton, a 8-10-four freshman and backup Albert Spencer, a 6-10-bearer. If the Eagles are tired, as Owens expects, their team will be compounded by a lack of proven depth.
The 1986-87 76ers was voted the greatest in NBA history in a special poll of basketball writers this year. Other members of the team included Mark Jackson, Wally Jones, Luke Jackson and Hal Greer.
Their top player thus 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.
JAYHAWK NOTES: Victor Mitchell wasn't use only KU player who played well against Oral Warrior.
Louisville plays K-State in Manhattan Jan. 3 and Missouri in Louisville Jan. 18.
The team is expected to ask Chamberlain's permission to retire his 13 Jersey at some future date. Chamberlain has admitted for more than a decade that he was ranked by the one

KU faculty recall holiday memories
By ELIZABETH MORGAN Staff Reporter
The eight-year-old, already crazy about football, was ecstatic that Christmas. Santa had left a complete football uniform under his Christmas tree.
OF ALL THE DAYS of the year,
December 25 is one that can usually be
remembered years later. Some of those
memories are more vivid than others,
because they were joyful, days, and
sometimes because they were sad days.
The memory stands out among others as one of the best. He said he hadn't had a bad Christmas that he could remember, but, when he was 12 years old, it was in the service during World War II."
"I'll never forget that, and that's a been long, long time," KU Head Football Coach Don Fambrogh said, "I knew when I was 15. He told me, that what's always wanted."
Notables around campus shared some of
their stories and worst memories of
Christmas last year.
William Warfield, Langston Hughes visiting professor of music, also remembered a lonely Christmas when he was in the service.
The presents he received as a child were not extraordinary—usually clothing he needed—but he enjoyed Christmas with his family.
He recalled looking forward to the cakes and pies his mother baked, and going to bed early on Christmas Eve to pass the time until Santa came.
"There was a lot of activity and a 'beautiful dinner,' but it was lonely because it wasn't a place I knew."
Acting Chancellor Del Shakel

was too much of a good thing.
"I was somewhere between the ages of five and ten," he said. "Along with my parents, we visited my grandparents in Alberta, Canada. We got caught in a car crash." Chevy. The car froze over and broke down. It was a cold December night."
One Christmas he recalled fondly was when his children were able to enjoy the holidays.
It wasn't a white Christmas, but William Balfour, HOPE Award winner and professor of music, thought his student to Florence from New Mexico "away from the cold" was exciting.
ONE CHRISTMAS, when he was about
to pleaseant, he had. He had
the mummy.
Debbie Shumate, Lawrence theater graduate who played Sandra Dee in KU's recent production of "Grease," said, "All of my Christmashes have been wonderful!" But last year's celebration was especially nice, she said.
"I spent it with a friend of mine and his Christmas. Christmas lasted all day. We opened one present at a time, and it took us five hours to go through them. I also was given a stocking that came up to my shoulder, and I had to go through that."
Bert Coleman, student body president,
couldn't remember a bad Christmas
He recalled one especially enjoyable holiday seven years ago when there was 24 inches of snow on the ground at his home in Wichita.
"It's the best time of the year." he said.
