Five cagers plus-
Freshmen lack depth
By JERRY KLEIN
Assistant Sports Editor
This may come as sad news to some but the KU freshman basketball team grabbed six football players to fill its roster several weeks ago.
They had to. Earlier in the season there were only five basketball players on scholarship—six too few.
But still, those original five, hopefully will make up in quality what the freshmen lack in quantity. They play their first collegiate game against Kansas City Junior College Saturday at 6 p.m., in Allen Field House.
COACH BOB Mulcahy will start four players from Illinois and one from Kansas, Gary Dickerson (6-4) from Shawnee Mission. Three from Chicago are Richard Bradshaw (6-3), Jim Hoffman (6-7) and Carl Janis (6-2). Chester Lawrence (6-4), the fifth starter, is from Vienna.
PATRONIZE KANSAN ADVERTISERS
Since KU coaches sought quality instead of recruiting a large group-eight of last year's freshmen are now on the varsity-Mulcahy admits the Jayhawks got everyone they wanted.
"They were all individual stars on their high school team. All have varsity potential," Mulcahy said, "but they are now going through a period of transition from high school playing to college.
"Last year's freshmen didn't develop uptil late in the season. This year, it could take most of
the season. Only time will tell," he said.
SO FAR. THE team has been only tested in intra-squad scrimmages. Mulcahy believes the only thing lacking now is experience against the opposition.
"The freshmen have shown more poise and maturity since the first intra-squad game. They are hard workers," Mulcahy said, "with a real good attitude. Although small in numbers, they've given a tremendous effort."
For the frosh to win, one of the best efforts will have to come from Bradshaw who has been rated by Chicago sportswriters as the best high school player from that area since Cazzie Russell.
Named to the first team High School All-American squad last season, the jump-shooting Bradshaw is considered by Mulcahy to have excellent timing for rebounding and blocking shots. He will play both forward and at guard.
HOFFMAN IS considered to be an outstanding rebounder, having averaged 19 rebounds per game in high school. The center is strong and has the potential to become a good shooter.
One of the guards, Janis, is known for his quickness and shooting touch within 15 feet of the basket.
Lawrence will be the other guard. He has good size for this position, Mulcahy said, besides being an outstanding shooter.
Dickerson didn't play much last year in high school because he was suffering from shin splints.
He was considered a college prospect but did not receive much recognition.
Football players on the team are Broc Blair (6-2), Oswego; Jim Ettinger (6-3), Bartlesville, Okla.; Jim Hayes (5-10), Atwood; John Mosier (6-3), Wichita; Bob Tyus (6-5), Kansas City; and Tom West (6-2), Leavenworth.
MONTREAL—(UPI)—Parents of lost children at Expo 67, the world's fair which will open in Montreal April 28, 1967, can go to one of many closed television sets and wait for junior to appear on the screen bearing a number. A message will tell the parent exactly where the youngster is.
