Dinkel polishes defensive end play

What makes Tom Dinkel such a good defensive end? Not even Dinkel claims this is possible.
At least the 6-foot-2, 220-pound sophomore doesn't want to put the finger on any specific reason for his current status. The hyawk defensive unit at the end spot.
"I can't really say I do that much special," he said, smiling. "I don't do much with weights, really, I just try to keep weight and stay low when I'm tackling."
One short year ago, Dinkel was a freshman, just out of Topeka's Shawnee Heights High School. He proved he was a versatile player there, playing quarterback and running back on offense, and linebacker on the defensive unit. He rushed for more than 2,400 yards in three years of varsity play.
THE COMPETITION IN HIGH school, he admitted, wasn't that tough. Still, he said, he fared well against the "good" players on non-league teams.
With those credentials, Dinkel was recruited by area Big Eight schools. Oklahoma State made a "very good" decision he said. He兵临城下. "I wanted to go to a Kansas school and decided I really couldn't go to Kansas State."
"Well, I didn't really want to go," he asserted.
In his freshman year, Dinkel came to KU expecting to be used as a fullback. But with the defensive injuries on last year's squad, Dinkel was moved to guard the defense in spring, found himself shifted from defensive tackle to defensive defender.
Couldn't go?
OBVIOUSLY, THE KU coaches liked what they saw.
"I had some good scrimmages there." Dinkel said, "and I guess they thought I could play there full time."
Since spring, Dinkel has fulfilled the expectations of him at his new position. KU coach Bud Moore constantly praises Dinkel for his aggressive play.
"Tom has certainly shown fine effect and he's learned the position quickly," Moore said. "He consistently gives us good effort."
Dinkel, of course, realizes his limitations, especially as a sophomore adjusting to the rigors of Big Eight in a position he's seldom played.
"I'd like to be able to head to the ball carrier quicker," he said, "I need more speed.
"FEEL IF I CAN get rid of the tight end, we (the defense) can control the pitch."
Dinkel said he always played strong side defensive end, which matches him with the tight end.
There were few adjustments in basic defensive philosophy when Moore took over the position.
Waiting, in fact, is what defensive ends usually do a lot of.
"We're just using more stunts, that's all." Dillen said, explained that in those cases he goes straight for the ball when it hits or plays of playing his usual waiting game.
"With the veer or the wishbone, which we usually face, we're slow-playing the quarterback," he said. "We've got to be under control and not commit ourselves to a fast-paced run back too fast or he'll pitch to the trailing running back and we'll blow the play."
DNKEL PARTLY ATTRIBUTE HIS
success to a few strict,
personal rules.
"I would just like to play every down without making mistakes," he said, adding quickly, "Of course, I don't do that now.
"I never try to be loafing on the field, either."
With all of his moving around the past year, from position to position, offense to defense, Dinkel said he thought he'd found a home at defensive end.
"It's fine with me," he said. "I like it."
France lures Tommie Smith
By DAVE GOSSEB
Tommie Smith, an athlete who impressed University of Kansas basketball fans with his rugged play and jumping ability, left for the University to launch a professional basketball career.

Smith, who graduated from KU with a journalism degree last May, recently attended a three-day tryout camp with the University of Arizona baseball ball Association. He didn't make the team.
Smith said Denver coach Larry Brown told him that he would use a 10-man squad

this season. Denver had already signed
David Thornwell of North Carolina State,
and David Thompson of Colorado State.
BROWN DIDN'T SIGN SMITH. He did tell him about Herb Rudoy, a Chicago lawyer. Brown told Smith that Rudoy could get him a tryout in France.
"I'll be playing for a team in Nice, Smith and Lawrence," he said on the lush border.
Royals whip Sox; now 6 back of A's
The victory was the Royals' fourth straight and moved them to within 6 games of the idle Oakland Athletics in the race for the American League West division title.
CHICAGO (AP)—Frank White celebrated his 24th birthday yesterday by driving in three runs with a double and a pair of singles to lead the surging Kansas City Royals to a 7-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Paul Spitliff picked up the win, upping his season record to 8-4 with a seven-hitter.
think one of their guys got hurt and they're going to let me have a chance to take his place. I don't know anything else about the situation. I just hope I can make it."
This will be Smith's third try to start a professional athletic career after leaving KU. Before his tryout with Denver, he attended a tryout camp with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He got cut after one week.
"I was surprised I even lasted that long," Smith said. "I hadn't played football since high school. And then, I didn't have to run of the complicated play like the Chiefs."
"HELL, THEY'D BE giving us new plays to learn all the time and I didn't even have the first play down yet. They'd tell me to watch the guy ahead of me, but he'd muck up and then I mess up. Still, I made 700 bucks for a week's work."
Sainthomes to get basketball playing experience in Europe and then try to make it a sport of their own.
He didn't get a lot of playing time at KU. his career totals were a 0.9 point scoring average.
Brown told Smith that he showed promise when he was in Denver. In a scrimmage, Smith scored 21 points and picked off 12 rebounds while guarding Thompson.
"THOMPSON GOT ABOUT 26 points off
every game with 39. Every game is got up well."
While Smith was here yesterday, he stopped in Allen Field House to watch his old teammates practice. The more he missed being with them on the floor, he said.
"I saw all those guys running and I was glad I was through," Smith said. "Man, those guys started running in August and won't be through until March. I hate running that long. Your leaes are only so strong.
"I know I've got to run in France and that's part of the game. But I think I'd rather spend some time on the French Riviera than in Allen Field House."
