Hawks are stars

Turn to pros
Former KU athletes are well represented in most circles of professional athletics.
It is very likely one will see an ex-Jayhawker in action during football, basketball and baseball season by watching the nationally televised game of the week.
KU, through the years, has sent 25 athletes to professional football, basketball and baseball teams across the country. In addition, there is one athlete making his living in the ring.
In the senior National Football League, the amazing speedster Gale Sayers ('65) and Brian Schweda ('65) team up with the Chicago Bears—Gale on offense and Brian on defense. Mike Johnson ('66) and Mike Shinn ('66) do battle as members of the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers respectively.
PROFESSIONAL football rosters currently list seven KU graduates. In the American Football League; John Hadl ('62), Curtis McClinton ('62) and Burt Coan ('62) once teammates, are employed by the perennial powers of the Western Division; Hadl for the San Diego Chargers; McClinton and Coan for the Kansas City Chiefs.
After football season closes, basketball takes over the sports' spotlight.
Basketball fans can watch Wilt Chamberlain ('58) Philadelphna 76ers; Wayne Hightower ('62) Baltimore Bullets; Walt Wesley ('66) Cincinnati Royals and Bill Bridges ('62) St. Louis Hawks, jumping and twisting for a shot or rebound as the National Basketball Association parades its stars before the television cameras on Sunday afternoons.
AS WINTER'S frigid weather is slowly replaced by spring's warmth, basketball is given a raincheck until next season, and our national pastime is shoved center-stage.
Eight KU alumni don baseball uniforms of the various major and minor league teams.
Presently, there are only two playing in the major leagues: Bob Allison ('54) of the Minnesota Twins and Chuck Dobson '64) of the Kansas City Athletics.
Other ex-Jayhawkers playing pro baseball are Steve Renko ('65) New York Mets; Steve McGreevey ('65) Los Angeles Dodgers; Sterling Coward ('65) Dodgers; Dick Ruggles ('65) New York Yankees and Carl Nelson ('64) Mets.
