Ted Owens' second annual Jayhawk basketball camp began Sunday with a capacity turnout for the opening one-week session.
The Kansas basketball coach said there are still openings for each of the second, third and fourth week sessions which begin June 15, 22 and 29.
Jayhawk assistant coaches Sam Miranda and Gale Catlett, along with former KU players and high school coaches, will work with Owens during the four-week camp.
director, said the 31-year-old Greer would succeed John Mitchell, who resigned to become head track coach at Alabama.
Only last month Greer resigned at Central and announced he would enroll in the KU graduate school to work on a doctorate degree and work with Jayhawk coach Bob Timmons as a graduate assistant.
However, as Timmons full-time assistant, Greer will put aside plans to enter graduate school.
"This is too good of an opportunity to pass up," Greer said. "I will just have to forget about the degree for the time being. I know the way coach Timmons works and there sure won't be any time for me to be going to classes."
After becoming Central's head track coach in March 1966, his teams won seven championships and finished runnerup once in
eight trips to the Missouri state indoor and outdoor meets.
During his entire coaching career his teams have won 88 meets of all types, lost just one and tied one.
He moved to Central in 1961 and was freshman coach four years before being elevated to the head track post.
Greer graduated from the University of Missouri at Kansas City in 1960 and began coaching that year as an assistant at Kansas City Argentine.
During his first years as a coach he continued studying at UMKC and earned a master's degree in education in 1964. A state department assignment took Greer to Iraq for four months during the 1965-66 school year to coach the national track team of Iraq.
As an undergraduate, Greer competed in numerous events, in-
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Lew Alcindor, the Milwaukee Bucks rookie superstar, is being sued for $750,000 for allegedly breaking the jaw of Dennis Grey of the Los Angeles Stars during a pick-up basketball game last Saturday.
Alcindor named in lawsuit
Grey, who is 6-foot-four and weighs 215 pounds, asked the amount in a lawsuit filed in Superior Court for alleged mental and physical suffering.
He charged the 7-foot-1 1/2 inch, 235-pound Alcindor struck him "maliciously, intentionally
and wantonly." The suit said Grey's effectiveness as a professional basketball player had been "diminished, seriously jeopardizing his earning power."
The single blow occurred during a game at a local high school in which Grey, a reserve center for the American Basketball Association team, and Alcindor, who played at UCLA before signing for a reported $1 million with the National Basketball Association club, were on opposing teams.

Warren Davis, a teammate of Grey's on the Stars but who was not playing, described the blow. "Lew's team was taking the ball
After Alcindor learned of the injury, he called the hospital, said he was sorry and offered to pay hospitalization costs.
out of bounds. According to Grey, Lew turned and threw a punch that landed on his jaw. Lew walked off the court and left the gym."
"It was just a case where I was provoked" the slim New Yorker said, "and I don't like to be provoked and I regret very much I reacted the way I did."
Two of Greer's outstanding performers at Central were hurdler George Byers, co-captain of this year's KU track squad, and current sprint ace Marvin Foster, who has signed a national letter to enroll at Kansas this fall.
cluding the decathlon, but his best ones were the 440 and long jump. He finished sixth in the Kansas Relays decathlon in both 1959 and 1960.
"I must have been the skinniest guy who ever competed in the decathlon." Greer laughed.
