The soccer season is long past, but Tom Hedrick, director of the KU Sports Network and the KU soccer coach last fall, has found another outlet for his coaching talent.
Now Hedrick is coach of a basketball team in the Lawrence City Recreation League. The team is sponsored by a Lawrence clothing store, but when it wins it's known as "Tom's Terrors" and in defeat, as "Hedrick's Horrors."
Evy, who is enrolled in the School of Law, is a former Kansas State player, ending his career there two years ago. Billings, director of the Office of Aids and Awards, and Johnson, director of athletic public relations, ended their careers as KU basketball players in 1959.
"Boy, that Shinn's something," Hedrick says. "He can really rebound. Some of us think he should be playing for the KU varsity, but, of course, football and his school work keeps him pretty busy."
RESERVE PLAYERS INCLUDE Lee Flaschbarth, Doyle Shick and Jay Roberts, former KU football players; Bill Goetze and Dave Stinson, ex-KU freshman basketball players, and Tom Black, former Lawrence High School player.
MAURICE KING, WHO last played as a Jayhawker in 1957, has been a member of several professional basketball teams. King is here finishing work on a degree.
SO FAR THE TEAM HAS gone by the former title. It has won seven straight games, including two games with Haskell Junior College.
Shinn, KU's junior all-Big Eight end last fall, played basketball as a freshman and starred in high school for Topeka High.
But, after a look at Hedrick's lineup, you wonder it it's the personnel, not the coaching, that's largely responsible for the team's success.
And there's one more sub—"Coach" Hedrick.
The starting lineup of "Tom's Terrors" consists of Dick Evy and Bob Billings, guards; Mike Shinn, center, and Maurice King and Monte Johnson, forwards.
"When I go in, I'm greeted with shouts, 'Tom, we don't have that big of a lead,'" Hedrick says.
Swimmers Beat K-State Extend Record To 8-0

Against K-State, the Jayhawks' Jerry Higgins set two pool records and was the only two-event winner.
Higgins swam the 200-yard free-style in 1:52.3 and the 500-yard free-style in 5:19.5.
Two other K-State pool records fell in the course of the meet.
Mike Downey of KU swam the 160-yard individual medley in 1:42.3 and Pete Stebbins, also from KU did the 200-yard butterfly in 2:14.2.
The Jayhawks will get a sample of the competition they can expect in the Big Eight Conference when they meet Nebraska. Coach Reamon regards Nebraska as one of the top

LOOSE BALL—George Unseld has difficulty in getting to this loose ball in Saturday night's game with Oklahoma. Unseld managed, however, to
get his hands on the ball a number of times during the game as he scored 34 points—his all time high—and led the Jayhawkers to a 84-72 victory.
