Blazin' Bud pumps for two . . .
Sophomore Bud Stallworth is one of the reasons coach Ted Owens has gone to the fast break as an offensive weapon. The Hartselle, Ala., product has good speed and hits with consistency from the corner. Against Nebraska and ((No. 54) Chuck Jura Saturday night he canned 14 points.
Stinson answers no as controversy clouds
BY GALEN BLAND Kansan Sports Writer
Is the University of Kansas under investigation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association? Wade Stinson, athletic director at KU, says definitely not, but the Hutchinson News and Hutchinson Community Junior College officials say yes.
It was reported in the Hutchinson paper last week that NCAA officials were in Hutchinson investigating some KU-oriented activities. Hutchinson Juco officials have said that a KU counselor tried to persuade a Hutchinson Community Junior College instructor to change a grade from D to C in order to make a football player eligible for a scholarship at Kansas.
The incident was relayed to the chancellor's office here and the investigation was requested by the chancellor, the Hutchinson News reported.
The player allegedly involved was Vince O'Neal, who is now enrolled at KU, but not on scholarship. O'Neal was the player who was involved in the investigation of Kansas State University a few weeks ago.
K-State was investigated by the NCAA for allegedly giving O'Neal the American College Test one day too early.
O'Neal was a star in both football and track at Plainfield (N.J.) High School. He was sought by many universities but chose
Hutchinson Juco when he failed to get a score high enough on the ACT to qualify for an athletic scholarship at a major college.
He was a standout on the 1968-69 Hutchinson football and track teams. He still did not have the grades to meet KU entrance requirements last fall and remained at the junior college.
O'Neal had trouble making buses for Hutchinson games this fall and was dropped from the squad. He made the grades to enroll at KU for the spring semester.
The Hutchinson News reported in last Wednesday's edition that Wayne Duke from the NCAA was in Hutchinson last week checking the charges. They reported that he told Hutchinson school officials that the NCAA takes a dim view of people with university connections who try to have grades changed.
The story said the NCAA was merely investigating the matter. No charges had been filed and no threat had been made to place KU on probation.
The only comment that Stinson would make was that the university was definitely not under investigation.

Hawks unable to break road jinx
By BRUCE CARNAHAN Kansan Sports Editor
Huskers stifle KU hopes
The Cornhuskers, enjoying a fantastic shooting night, finished the contest with a 57 per cent marksmanship from the floor. Nebraska displayed a balanced scoring attack as four 'Husker starters and super-sub Sam Martin all finished in double figures.
A tenacious defense kept Dave Robisch and the other members of KU's league leading offensive machine in bay throughout the evening. Robisch entered the contest sporting the top scoring and rebounding credentials in the conference, but Nebraska's saging zone limited the 6-9 junior center to only 20 points—well below his 30.4 conference average.
Nebraska, sweeping both the offensive and defensive backboards clean, finished the game with a commanding 36-20 rebounding edge. Only a fine 52 per cent field goal average kept the Jayhawks within a respectable margin of the hot shooting and hustling 'Huskers who often threatened to turn the contest into a rout.
Ten early points by KU's sophomore forward Bud Stallworth pushed the Jayhawks to an early 22-21 lead with 9:24 left in the opening period. But Stallworth picked up his third personal with 7:25 still remaining and was forced to suit out the remaining minutes of the half.
Unable to combat Nebraska's crunching front line, coach Ted Owens was forced to spell the hot-shooting Stallworth in the first half with 6-10 reserve center Roger Brown.
Jayhawks countered with buckets by Robisch and Pierre Russell but the Cornhuskusers were not to be headed and took a 39-34 advantage into the locker room at half time.
KU's lead was short lived as a hook shot by Nebraska's Chuck Jura got a sputtering 'Husker offense moving and they quickly raced to a 33-26 advantage. The
The Jayhawks bounced back at the start of the second half and knotted the score at 43-43 on Robisch's lay up with 16:07 remaining. But Nebraska shattered all hopes of a KU comeback when Bob Gratrpown down a long-range jump shot and Tom Scantleburry swiped the ball from Bob Kivisto and raced down for an easy set up.
Leroy Chalk followed with a baseline jumper and the 'Hawks, now trailing 49-43, were unable to get within five points of the surging 'Huskers throughout the remaining minutes of the second stanza.
Nebraska enjoyed its biggest margin of the game, 74-60, when Robisch fouled out with 3:20 left in the contest.
Jura, 6-10 sophomore forward, topped Nebraska in both scoring and rebounding with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Gratopp and Martin, who entered the game with a 4 point per game scoring average, both finished with 15. Scantlebury tallied 13 and Chalk netted 11 for the Huskers.
Pierre Russell followed Robisch on the KU scoring chart with 15 points. Stallworth added 14 and Kivisto finished with 12.
The 'Hawks are now 3-3 in the conference and 12-6 over all. Nebraska's win evened their league mark at 3-3 and pushed them to a 12-5 season's record.
