Jaynes, Williams head impressive list
KUinks 35 to national letters of intent
A prize running back from Houston and passing whiz David Jaynes of Bonner Springs, Kan., were among 35 high school football prospects who Wednesday signed national letters of intent with KU.
The running back is Delvin Williams, a slashing 190-pounder from Houston Kashmere, who recently ran the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds.
Pepper Rodgers, Jayhawk football coach, claims that the Texan flash is "the best running back in Texas and one of the greatest prospects I've ever seen."
Billie Matthews, Williams' high school coach before joining the 'Hawk football staff last winter, was in Houston to sign the widely sought halfback.
Rodgers and assistant coach Terry Donahue were on hand in Bonner Springs as Jaynes, the strong-armed aerial artist, signed his scholarship agreement with the Javhaws.
Of the 35 players signing with KU Wednesday, 23 are from Kansas or the metropolitan Kansas City area. Wednesday was the first day members of this year's high school graduating class could sign national letters of intent that are binding among schools in every major conference and most of the leading "independents."
The KU coaching staff was successful in inking all of the prospective gridders who had previously signed Big Eight letters of intent with the Jayhawks.
The list of signees announced by the KU football office are:

Lakers blast Knicks to even playoff series
An awesome performance by Wilt Chamberlain and deadly backcourt marksmanship by rookie Dick Garrett and superstar Jerry West sparked the Los Angeles Lakers to a devastating 135-113 triumph over the injury-ridden New York Knickerbockers Wednesday night in the Los Angeles Forum.
The Laker victory evened the NBA championship series at three games apiece and forced a deciding seventh game to be played in New York this Friday.
The outcome was never in doubt as the Lakers raced to an early 36-16 first quarter margin and coasted to an easy victory over the outmanned Eastern Division champions.
The Lakers opened their biggest lead of the evening, 28-12, early in the second half behind the deadeye shooting of Garrett. The 6-0 former Southern Illinois sharpshooter connected on his first six shots and combined with West to hold Knick quarterback Walt Frazier to only three first period points.
Chamberlain, Los Angeles' skyscraper-center who has just returned to action following a leg injury that kept him out of action during most of the regular season, turned in an outstanding first quarter by tallying 11 points and six rebounds. West, who has averaged 31 points during the playoff series, contributed 9 points and many spectacular assists during the Lakers' early game success.
Los Angeles, averaging only 109 points a game going into Wednesday's contest, continued their deadly shooting in the second period by running up a comfortable 47-24 margin with 8:45 left in the quarter. The Lakers, who hit on 11 of their first 17 field goal attempts, outscored the Knicks 28 to 23 from the floor in the first half. But the difference proved to be the charity stripe as the Lakers downed 15

free throws to only five by the Knicks while opening their comfortable 71-51 half time margin.
Chamberlain spearheaded the Laker offensive attack by registering 24 points and 12 rebounds in the opening half. Garrett chipped in with 14 first half points and the reliable West finished the first half with a valuable 20 points.
high scorers for the Knicks in the disasterous opening 24 minutes were substitute forwards Cassie Russell and Dave Stallworth who contributed 16 and 9 points respectively.
The Knick front line, minus the NBA's most valuable player Willis Reed, was no match for Chamberlain and the Lakers in the second period either as Chamberlain continually overpowered Dave DeBusschere, Stallworth or Nate Bowman while turning in his most impressive performance of the seasons.
The Lakers, who eased their way to a commanding 99-80 third quarter lead, substituted freely in the second half en route to completing the gigantic victory margin.
Chamberlain finished the game with a total of 45 points and 24 rebounds. West followed him with 35 points and Garrett chipped in 16 tallies.
High for the Knicks were Russell and DeBusschere with 23 points each. Bowman followed with 18 points and playmaker Frazier netted 12.
