Coach calls KU golfer 'competitor'
Two days after his surprising victory in the Kansas State Men's Amateur Golf Tournament, Mike Krone was out at Lawrence's new Alvamar Hills Country Club practicing chip shots.
He fits the image of the dedicated golfer keeping his club in hand and swinging at an imaginary ball between questions
Krone, born in Baltimore 20 years ago, moved to Lawrence and met Wilbur Norton, KU golf coach, at the age of seven or eight. Coach Norton describes Mike as "... a real competitor. He works hard and practices until the blisters come to his hands and then he practices some more."
HE TOOK UP golf at the age of 13. At 17 he entered the state amateur tourney for the first time and won his first round match, but lost in the second round. The following year he won the fourth flight.
Modestly, Krone said that luck was a big factor in his victory, that had the tournament been medalist rather than match play, he might not have fared so well. Coach Norton concurred that the luck of the draw is very important in this type of tournament.
As the meet developed, Bob Leeper, his final opponent, defeated Greer Jones, the favorite and defending champion. Leeper and Jones are also Big Eight players representing Kansas State and Oklahoma State respectively. It is coincidental that the final match of a statewide tournament should turn into another KU-Kansas State affair, as if there weren't enough factors to heighten the competitive spirit.
LAST YEAR. Krone, a junior philosophy major, played in the number two spot behind Bill Hess on the KU squad. He regards putting as the strongest part of his game, but commented, "I think playing from the tee to the green is the real art of the game."
Krone is custodian of the huge weather-been trophy which stands for amateur golfing supremacy in Kansas. As he stopped in the clubhouse, two other veterans of the rivalry between KU and K-State, Doug Weaver and John Hadl, came by eyeing the trophy and offering their congratulations to the tall blond Jay-
Owens signs dream cager
What was described as a basketball coach's dream has signed a national letter of intent to attend KU under a basketball scholarship it was announced last week.
Bud Stallworth of Hartelle, Ala. averaged nearly 30 points per game at Morgan County High School with 35.3 tallies per game his senior year. The 6 foot-5 inch ace also grabbed 23 rebounds in leading his team to an 18 win-2 loss record.

Pole vaulter signs letter
Another 15-foot pole vaulter has signed a national letter of intent to attend the University of Kansas.
Jan Johnson, a 5-11, 150 pound athlete from Chicago Heights, Ill., vaulted $15-03^a$ to win the Illinois outdoor title this year.
Johnson joins another state champion, Bill Hatcher from Shawnee Mission North who went 15-4 to win the Kansas title. The pair will be eligible for intercollegiate competition during their freshman year according to a recent rule change by the NCAA major colleges.
Bob Timmons, KU track coach,
said, "I hope they will give us a fine one-two punch for years to come."
Rees, who lives in Kansas City, and three other KU Karate Club members participated in the National Karate Tournament in Overland Park, where Rees won his title as kata champion. Kata is the form and style division of karate.
Terry Rees, a KU sophomore, eliminated all opposition Sunday enroute to his title as 1968 Grand National White Belt Kata Champion.
Rees earns karate title
More than 200 students of karate converged on Overland Park from points all over the nation to participate in "The Grand National."
Max Muller, KU karate instructor, pleased with the results said, "We really made a strong showing." Muller also participated in the tournament, but was eliminated by J. Garret who went on to win the 1968 Karate Association Championship.

BASKETBALL TIPS AT THE TIP OF HIS FINGERS
KU coach Ted Owens offers tips on the finer points of basketball to Hoisington High School's Pete Ochs at the first of four one-week Naismith Basketball Clinics being held this summer.
Owens offers clinic for area prep cagers
Jayhawk basketball coach Ted Owen's idea has caught on.
The idea, to have young basketballers from across a five-state area come to KU for a week and study the finer points of the sport, has been in the back of Owen's mind for several years.
"It has been my intention to start a camp like this for some time." Owens said. "There is a great need for training of this type."
There will be four, week-long sessions conducted under the supervision of Owens and KU assistant coaches Sam Miranda and Gale Catlett. Other staff members
include graduate assistant Ralph Light, former KU players Rodger Bohnenstiehl, Bob Wilson and Riney Lochmann. Five area high school coaches are also working in the clinic.
The camp has the approval of all the state associations represented.
Although the participants are quartered in Naismith Hall on the campus, the project is not associated with KU. Basketball court of Lawrence High School and Naismith Hall are utilized for practice sessions as well as film rooms in the two buildings.
