Walk-ons finally play in KU laugher
By KEVIN BERTELS
Sports Writer
Guys like David Magley and Body Neal need 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 subliminator.
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 26 points, with 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 90-66 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 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 unin-
defeated in four games to Lawrence. The Eagles
won their own tournament, the Eagle Classic,
Saturday night defeatline Tennessee 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 29-to-30-foot range.
But Morehare State should be aired team, after playing Friday and Saturday in the tournament.
"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 have to play for Ohio Valley Conference teams. They come in here without notettery and play really well."
Saturday night's game against Oral Roberts was surprisingly easy. Gary "Cat" Johnson, the Titans 5-foot 10-speeder, sat out much of the game and scored incarnated Oral Roberts 48-35 and shot 67 percent.
TITAN COACH Ken Hayes didn't say why a
treat John Loon did but he did say that his team
had won, a fact the manager didn't know.
"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."
johnson said that the problem was the good play of the Javahawks.
"We worked on it but they were shooting and they had that big fellow, I don't know how big, but he was a terror inside." Johnson said. "We're sooing to learn from all these games."
Johnson should not feel left out. Nobody knows how big KU's junior college transfer center Victor Mitchell is, and after last night, probably nobody really cares. The crowd gave him a thumbs up, but the team teammate, replaced him late in the second half. He scored 18 points on 9-of-11 shooting.
KU SHOT 56 percent for the game and had five players in double figures with John Crawford and Art Housey the only members of the top seven who didn't make it. Mitchell led the team with 18, Magley and Darnell Valentine had 16 each, Tony Guy had 14, and Neal came off the bench for 10. KU got off to a quick start with Magley scoring the Jayahawks' first three baskets. They were up by 10 at the half, and Owens said that he thought the team was ready for Oral Roberts and not flat, as it was against Michigan last Wednesday.
"I knew all day we were really sharp," he said.
"In our morning session and afternoon meeting they were really alert. It was totally opposite of Wednesday night. We were flat then."
Oral Roberts tried to play a running game against the Jayhawks but it backfired with KU
KU's next opponent, Morehead State, has been a slowdown team, relying on the shooting ability of Napar 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.
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 6-10-four freshman and backup Albert Spencer, a 6-10-foot senior. If they are tired, as Gwenn expects, their problem will be compounded by a lack of pro depth.
JAYHAWK NOTES: Victor Mitchell wasn't the only KU player who played well against Oral Roberts 7-foot center Mr. Prusater. Walk-on George Thompson was excited after the game about his two rebounds and about blocking one of his shots 'shots in his two minutes of playing time.
Darnell Valentine passed out eight assists Saturday night to go with his 23 in the other three games. He is averaging nearly eight a game. Mitchell's 9-of-11 increased his shooting percentage to 68 percent. He hit 71 percent last season at Amarillo, Texas, Junior College. Tany McGrath now plays at Iowa for four year as well as being the Jayhawk's leading scorer.
The crowd of 14,400 was the largest to see a game in Allen Field House this season.
Only one player has fouled out of a game for KU this season. The player, John Crawford, fouled out in the final second of the game against Michigan last Wednesday.
Louisville, who embarrassed the Big Eight in football this season by beating Kansas 17-9, was embarrassed by the conference in basketball Saturday. The Cardinals, the defending NCAA basketball champions lost to Oklahoma State 72-71 on a desolation shot at the buzzer.
Louisville, ranked third in the country before the season, is 0-3. The Cardinals will meet two more Big Eight teams, Kansas State and Missouri, before the season is over. K-State lost to Louisville by 2 points 71-48, in the second round of last year's NCAA playoffs.
Louisville plays K-State in Manhattan Jan. 3 and Missouri in Louisville Jan. 18.
WILT CHAMBERLAIN, the former all-overthing pro and KU collegian, will return to Philadelphia's Spectrum Wednesday night for a visit to his former career berlin, who played on the NBA champion 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers, will join his former teammates in a ceremony honoring that team.
Chamberlain has declined various invitations to return since his retirement in 1973.
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 include Kareem Abdul-Quddiz, Wally Jones, Luke Jackson and Hal Greer.
The team is expected to ask Chamberlain's permission to retire his No.13 Jersey at some future date. Chamberlain has admitted for more than a decade that he was ranked by the conditions under which he left the 76ers after the 1968 season.
In other long-standing foes of former KU athletes, Jo Jo White accepted an invitation to have his 10. Jarley retired some time in the future by the Boston Celtics. White, a former All-American, was upset with the way the Celtics traded him midway through the 1978-79 season.
White, who retired from basketball early this season, has returned to his Lawrence home. His future, which he hopes includes coaching basketball, is uncertain right now.
The alleged miscue of athletic department telephone credit cards by two KU basketball players and a former player was discussed Friday at a Big Eight Conference meeting of faculty members and athletic directors in Kansas City, Mo. No action was taken.
The players involved are Darnell Valentine and Tony Gwike. Gibby Rose is a former player.
and Tony Guy, Ricky Ross is a former player. The conference decided to accept mild penalties imposed on Oklahoma and Oklahoma State by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The conference had the option to impose harsher penalties.
