Sleeper Shows Up
By Mike Griffith
(Staff Writer)
Looking for something to watch at Memorial Stadium this year?
YOU MIGHT HAVE heard or read about some of the others. They are the record breakers, the crowd pleasers, the pop corn sellers, the all-conference picks — all having made the grade.
He came out of the woods last Saturday. Blindfolded men couldn't miss him.
These are the players that make mom's apple pie worth eating, make a yawn enjoyable, or a pause after a game worthwhile. They are a sports writer's dream.
HIS TYPE IS known as the sleeper. He is early to bed and early to rise, yet he doesn't receive the publicity that the super-stars gain during the year.
But there is a Jayhawk that has gone largely unheralded this fall by the news media.
At 180 pounds, $'5-'9', and 19-years-old he presented the picture of David out to slay Goliath, a Mongol warrior sweeping across the plains of Asia, and a man with a shovel about to move Mount Everest.
FRESH OUT OF the freshman
class his number is 59 and his name is Richard Abernethy. And he has class.
He showed it Saturday when he ripped off a 47 yard touchdown run on a lateral from quarterback Bob Skahan.
"When I got outside, it was like running on a railroad track down the sideline," Rich said.
“ARIZONA white shirts were falling like flies. It had to be one of my greatest thrills,” he said.
Rich said he was looking forward to more games at KU.
"SINCE I AM only a sophomore I still have 28 games to play," he said. "I plan to play them as best I can."
"This team is just starting to play together, we are making mistakes but we are cutting down on them," he said.
"After looking at the game films and talking together we decided that KU has a long way to go."
Aberneth praised his teammates and noted that all of the mistakes were not made by sophomores.
IF THE JAYHAWKS have a long way to go so does Richard Abernethy. He is young, determined, loves football, is dedicated, and has talent.
Which isn't a bad beginning.
