Bumps and Bruises Describe Kansas State Star's Career
Manhattan — (Special) - This season, Gary Marriott has appeared better prepared for a hospital bed than a basketball floor.
This is not because of his basketball ability — he is second leading scorer for Kansas State with a 14.1 average — it is just that he has been carrying that white bandage of injury. Besides the usual bumps and lumps of basketball, Gary, a 6-5 forward, has been hampered with a severely bruised instep ever since the Arizona State game in the Sunflower Doubleheader.
the big reputation of being a scorer. At Osage City, he averaged more than 30 points a game as a senior. His scoring also propelled him to the all-state team two years and All America his senior year.
MARRIOTT'S HUSTLING efforts sometimes send him sprawling. Thus, he picks up a more-than-usual number of scratches and floor burns.
But this scrambling play is what Gary does best. While his peculiar shot — he starts to shoot right-handed and winds up by shooting
left-handed — does most of the damage, follows and twisting lay-ups help pad the point average. Scoring points has not been Marriott's problem.
Marriott started like any other young red-blooded American boy—with a goal in the back yard. "It just got to be a habit with the neighborhood," he added. "We played no matter how cold it got."
The Kansas State coaches said Marriott set the bench in the early going of his collegiate career for only one reason — defense. This is one phase he has had to work on considerably.
NEXT STOP WAS Kansas State. Marriott said when he was in high school he used to watch Dick Knostman, former Kansas State standout, when Knostman played for Wamego. "Well, when he decided to go to K-State, I, too, decided it would be K-State." Gary said. Incidentally, Gary went on to score 48 points in one game to break Knostman's Jayhawk league record.
"I PLAYED THE middle man on the baseline in a zone while in high school," says Marriott. "I was just weak in defense when I came to K-State. But I learned a lot from Ernie (Brett) and Howie (Shannon, assistant coaches). Then I got to play some games in the Big Eight. Experience . . . that what it is that helps you play defense."
Marriott, who answers to the call of "Zero," "Geets," and "Chief Osage," came to Kansas State with
