Players tackle draft waiting game

By the end of today, 442 college senior football players will have won in the ultimate contest—a game called the National Football League college draft.
Most of these athletes have played organized football for at least eight years—worked, sweated and taken abuse—in hopes of becoming professional football players.
And then it all comes down to 48 hours of sitting by the telephone, hoping for the future, reflecting on the past and wondering when that telephone is going to signal a call from Houston, Miami, Kansas City or one of 23 other NFL teams.
Emmit Edward, Bruce Adams, Steve Towle, Mike Lemon, Fedro Dillon and Robert Miller were the athletes most likely to be drafted from the University of Kansas. A couple of other seniors had outside chances of being drafted.
Edwards, a second team All-Big Eight split end last fall and a Sporting News All-America, was drafted in the second round by the Houston Oilers. He was the second player drafted from the Big Eight Conference. The first was a linebacker from Nebraska, Tom Rum, who was drafted late in the first round.
"ANY TIME you are drafted in the first three rounds, you're a very deserving football player. I'm very happy for Emmanuel Edwards' former coach, Damm Broumbich."
"The Houston Oilers have been down for a number of seasons," Fambrough said, "and this past season, they probably had one of the most successful teams in the Oilers and is a former alumnus of this University, so I feel that Emmett's with a good program. They've got a real good quarterback in Pastorini, and so there's no doubt that Emmett will certainly help them."
Bruce Adams was an all-conference flanker his sophomore year and his acrobatic pass catching in crucial moments marked him as a top pro prospect. But he was also one of the few early this year were hurt by the 'Hawks' poor season and a run-oriented offense.
THEN CAME a call from the Minnesota
Adams. He was drafted in the fourth round,
then pitched in the first round.
"It's just fantastic. I think they're a great team and I'm sincerely happy to be going to play."
"I've just been sitting around kind of waiting for them to call. I've been hearing about it on the radio and getting telephone calls from my friends, that's good enough for me. It's just fantastic. I'm just pleased as bell."
Fullback Robert Miller wasn't worried about the draft Tuesday. Robert an his wife trust their lifes to someone larger than Pete Rozelle.
"My wife and I think that if everyone would just let the Lord take care of things, and let him handle their lives, then things would be a lot better," Miller said.
MILLER MUST have a good agent as well, because he'll be going with teammate Adams to Minnesota. The Vikings drafted him Tuesday in the fifth round.
Miller said he was happy and "just glad
he made over. Now I just have to make
the team."
Steve Towle, an All-Big Eight linebacker last fall and Adams roommate, was picked by the Chiefs to start the season.
"I've been playing football for 13 years now," Towle said, and the supreme goal is to play professional. And I think that we want to have a chance. We want a chance. Our college careers

As they go into tonight's 7:35 tip-off with the University of Colorado, Ted Owens and the University of Kansas basketball team aren't taking the Buffaloes dumal 3-12 to another game that must be played with as much aggressiveness as any game.
"The Colorado game is a different kind of game," Owens said Tuesday. "It's the worst kind of game. We can't afford to lose because Colorado will win only a small amount of games. If they won, it would be worse and contenders would pick up a game on us."
Colorado is off to its worst start in the Big Eight in many years. KU is the only Big Eight in this region yet. The Buffaloes have lost to California twice, Fresno State, Arizona, Washington and Long Beach State in nonconference games. Lake Louis, St. Louis, San Diego State and Air Force.
The problems in Boulder are that it's a rebuilding year for the Buffaloos and besides long all five starters from last week, they have not been team's team has been hit by a key injury.
Fred McDonald, a 6-11 center, who in the first 14 games of the season had the top field goal percentage in the conference won't play because of an injury.
Owens, still glowing after Saturday night's convincing 71-60 win over Oklahoma State, warned against becoming overconfident against Colorado.
"You know, everybody's talking about Saturday night, but you can't think that way," Owens said. "The players aren't, I don't think. We don't take them lightly. We'll approach it from the stand point that we'll have to play hard to win."
Owens said the Jayhawks could have the most trouble with Tony Lawrence, a 64 senior guard, because he is the most experienced player on the Colorado team. He would also be a threat, a 64 freshman forward, would also be a threat because of his scoring ability.
Owens said that the team never tried to concentrate on one particular player, but that "maybe we should have (Hercle) play at home" and scored 36 points against KU last week).*
Using three guards, three forwards and two pivots leaves out two Jayhawks who are seldom seen in varity action, Milt Gibson and Ken Kenigs.
"I've got 10 players I wouldn't mind playing," he said. "But you can over-substitute so that no one has a chance to get the feel of it.
Playing a team such as Colorado brings up the possibility of a more wide open game with many substitutions, which Owens said he wanted to avoid.
Moore chooses 2 more aides
Two more assistant coaches were added to the University of Kansas football staff Tuesday, bringing to nine the number of players that Moore, the new Jawhawk head coach.
Moore announced the appointment of Vince Semery, defensive coordinator at Morehead State the past four seasons, and Stephen Patterson last year, to unspecified staff positions.
"That's a problem area with Milt and Ken Koenigs." Owens said. "Both have continued to improve and need playtime. I hate to put them in a critical spot without having played some. It's just that we've been in critical spots all season.

have had highlights, but they haven't been so illuminated, that we've gotten national attention.
MIKE LEMON, who was picked in the sixth round by the New Orleans Saints, was second by the Cincinnati Reds, which was second队 All-Big Eight last season. He has been pegged by the pros as a top prospect for outside or middle linebacker. The Cincinnati Reds had season bad but the sensors draft chances.
KU defensive tackle Fedro Dillon was very nervous Tuesday. He said he had never played up to his own expectations for an extended period. Dillon said he wanted a chance with the pros to prove himself as a great football player.
"Time just goes by so fast," Dillon said as he be pondered his future. "Nobody should let a day go by without doing something common." He told me every day God sends here is important."
Dillon talked as if his life were passing before his eyes. He said he had enjoyed his stay at the University and had learned a lot about football and life.
Dean Zook was selected All-Big Eight and given an All-America honorable mention his junior year. This year he was only second-team Big Eight.
he said a mouth infection had partly caused him. He said he. He said he.

CARRIE NATION IS DEAD!!!
Last week a bill was introduced in the Kansas Legislature for the legalized sale of liquor-by-the-drink. This proposal, Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 12, provides an option for counties desiring to remain "dry," to remain so. Thus, such a law would entitle you, me or anyone else on this campus to have liquor-by-the-drink but would not require the folks in Winfield, Kansas to indulge in liquor in this modern, realistic manner.
Religious groups and conservative organizations are flooding the statehouse with petitions urging their respective legislators to vote against the only sane liquor law that has ever been proposed in Topeka. Even though these groups would be able to keep the sale of liquor-by-the-drink out of their communities, they insist on preventing all residents of Kansas from their right to have modern alcoholic beverage laws. Private club owners, whose business would be seriously affected if the bill were to be passed, are doing their best to kill the bill.
If you support the legalized sale of liquor-by-the-drink it is vitally important that you make your opinion known to our representatives in the Kansas Legislature. Petition sheets endorsing Senate Concurrent Resolution No.12 are now being circulated in dormitories, sororities, fraternities and other places on campus. If you support the bill make sure that you sign the petition sheet. Letters endorsing the proposed resolution should be sent to Rep. John Vogel, Rep. Lloyd Buzzi, Rep. Mike Glover and Sen. Norman Gaar, author of the bill. Rep. Vogel of Lawrence has prominent influence and strength in the House of Representatives . . . his vote will greatly affect the thinking of his colleagues. Address all letters of support to the Statehouse, Topeka, Kansas 66412.
Newspaper editors from Wichita to Independence have endorsed the bill. If you support the bill sign the petition and-or send a letter. Carrie Nation has been dead a long time . . . Kansas needs modern, realistic liquor laws.
Stephen Buser, President Kansas University Members for Modern Alcoholic Beverage Control
Table for petition is in the Kansas Union.
