Cincinnati, Big O continue controversy over 'trade'
NEW YORK (UPI) Oscar Robertson and Bob Cousy are in perfect accord on one thing, anyway.
Robertson says he has nothing personal against Cousy and Cousy says the same thing about Robertson, which means pretty soon, who knows, they may even open a restaurant together.
Who's kidding who?
They're cordial with each other but how can their association still be the same after what has happened? Matters came to a head
Rugby in tourney
The KU Rugby Club, a member of the Heart of America Union, will kick off the spring schedule Saturday, Feb. 7, with an appearance in the New Orleans Invitational rugby football tournament.
The KU club, which had a 13-4 record during the fall season, is rated as one of the country's top amateur rugby teams. The team is self sponsored and receives no university funds.
Two other major tournament bids have also been extended to the squad. Tentative plans include trips to the St. Louis Rugby Tournament and the Chicago Invitational.
The group also hopes to sponsor a Big Eight meet in Lawrence later in the spring. Only three other Big Eight schools compete in rugby — Colorado, Missouri and Iowa State—so it is anticipated that some non-conference squads will complete the tournament roster.
Among the scheduled spring competition are encounters with St. Benedicts, Rockhurst, KC Blues, Iowa and Missouri at Rolla.
Gray re-instated on frosh squad
Leonard Gray, freshman basketball standout from Kansas City, was back at practice with the KU basketball squad Tuesday after being held out of Monday night's encounter with Metropolitan Junior College because of a misunderstanding.
Varsity coach Ted Owens said he talked with Gray and assistant coach Sam Miranda Tuesday morning.
"The matter was entirely a misunderstanding and it has been cleared up completely," Owens said.
Owens said he would have no further comment about the Gray affair.
"We have an important game with Nebraska to prepare for and that is all we are thinking about right now," Owens concluded.

this past weekend when Robertson, whose supporters call him the "greatest playmaker since Shakespeare," was traded to the Baltimore Bullets by the Cincinnati Royals, for whom he has starred 10 years.
Robertson, 31, took a hell-no-I-won't-go attitude about the deal since the Cincinnati club hadn't even consulted him beforehand. Besides, Cousy and the Royals had been guilty of a small oversight. They hadn't checked his contract. Had they done so they would've noticed that special clause, the one that says Robertson has to okay a deal involving him before it actually can be made.
Uneasy Situation
So the trade with Baltimore was nullified and Robertson finds himself back where he started, with a club that desires to send him elsewhere. It isn't the best situation for either Robertson, the star of the ball club, or Cousy, the man who coaches it.
One of those who can appreciate the situation is Jerry Lucas. He used to be with Cincinnati but he's with the San Francisco Warriors now. He began the season with the Royals, had been one of their big guns for six years but asked to be traded and Cousy obliged him.
He also said he had nothing personal against Cousy when he left the Royals.
"I asked to be traded because I felt I wasn't going to fit in with their style of play," he says now. "It had nothing to do with my
Carlos plans strategy for pro negotiations
SAN DIEGO (UPI) — Former Olympic competitor, John Carlos, the current "World's Fastest Human," has his bargaining strategy all mapped out for his negotiations with the Philadelphia Eagles about becoming a pro football player.
Carlos is asking $1 million to play ball with the Eagles and if they want him, "they can take it from there."
"I can see starting at $400,000 and working up to $1 million," he said Tuesday, "so I start at $1 million and work down."
Carlos was drafted by the Eagles despite never having played football at San Jose State College.
"I played a lot of street ball and that's more valuable . . . you take more knocks and fall on that concrete without shoulder pads or any protection," said the 6 feet 3 inch 203-pound sprinter.
feeling for Bob. I felt I would be better somewhere else."
Robertson Set To Leave Robertson feels the same way now.

"I've conditioned my mind that I won't be here next year," he said from his home in Cincinnati Tuesday, "and it's perfectly all right with me." Robertson keeps insisting he and Cousy "get along fine." That's true. It all depends on your definition of fine.
