6 Thursdav. Mav 5,1977 University Daily Kansan KU draft total reaches seven By DAN BOWERMAN Associate Sports Editor Two more Kansas football players were picked in the second day of the National Football League draft, bringing the KU to total seven—possibly the most selected in Chris Golub was taken in the seventh chamber of the Cryptologic Museum. Both were to the Kansas Cityiffs. A source in the KU Sports Information Office said yesterday that although records weren't kept on the subject, seven probably were the most KU players drafted in one season. THE ACHIEVEMENT is especially significant because the draft was cut this year from 17 rounds to 12 and KU had a win, placing seventh in the Eliot High conference. Gulb was picked after his finest season, so safe safety. Last season, he had three interceptions, recovered two fumbles and broke up 12 passes. But his best statistic was his 87 tackles—more than any KU receiver. He was the team after l咬icker Terry Besson. Golub said he was pleased to go to Kansas City. He is a lifelong Kansas City resident and graduated from Shawnee Mission North High School. Sports "I WAS KIND of expecting to go about then," Golub said. "My agent said I would probably go anywhere from the sixth to the eighth round. "I'm pleased with Kansas City. It seems like kind of a shock to go there of all places because they don't understand me." Smith, KU's leading receiver for the last two seasons, said he thought he would have his work cut out for him in trying to make the Chief's team. "I'm glad to get the chance to make pro ball," he said. "But this was just the draft and no more. I've got enough to prove. I know he's going to play wide receiver than I think can." GOLUB WASN'T sure what his chances were for making the team. “It’s hard to say right now,” he said, as strained another guy in the defensive beckoning kicked him out of the league. Also there is Kerry Reardon. He was sensitized has hurt, and if he doesn’t know, he’ll suffer. Smith, who caught 10 passes last year for 221 yards, was the 20 pick in the eighth round. He said he thought KU's offense was down from being chosen higher in the draft. "OF ALL THE people at KU I've been cheated the most because of the wishbone," he said. "The only thing—and not to knock Nolan—is that I didn't have a quarterback." Smith was worried about the situation with the Chiefs, however. But Smith is already looking forward to playing in the pros. "I wanted to go anywhere I can play," he said. "What worries me is that they have 17 rookies, and ain't nobody that can keep 17 rookies." "The good thing is I get to play against george) (Atkinson and clack) Tatum, and I was very glad to be able to do that." Five Jayhawks were picked in Tuesday's five rounds: Mike Butler, Nolan Cromwell, Terry Beeson, Laverne Smith and Skip Sharp. SHARP, WHO was the seventh choice of the fifth round, said it was unexpected. "I was really surprised," he said, "I had my idea IQ go that high. I thought maybe in a word, I'll be the best." Sharp, who led the league last season in interceptions with six, was changed from running back to defensive back at the end of his junior year. He was then the backup to Laverne Smith, and he expected to be a starter in that position during his senior year. SHARP SAID he was disappointed that he was moved to the defensive secondary. But was he admits that if he had stayed at running back, he probably wouldn't have been drafted.

Blake Thompson, a 6-4 and 350-point offensive ucleid, that he exchanged with Drew Thomas but that he wasn't terribly disappointed. "IT'S KINDA an ego trip to be drafted, but now I can pick the team I want to go with as a free agent," Thompson said. "I can go where they lack depth." He said he didn't know where he wanted a go vet. "I have to wait till the teams contact me," he said. "I think I have as good a chance as anyone else. Being drafted doesn't mean much except for a bonus."

Round Eleven K-State signs three Kansas State has signed three of its top basketball recruits to national letters-of-entire, the university's athletic office announced this week. The latest came yesterday when the Wildcats signed Greg Prudhoe, a 6-11 center from Peoria, III. Prudhoe averaged 21 games and rebounded a game during his senior year. The two other signers officially announced by K-State were Rolando Blackman, a 6-3 guard-forward from Brooklyn, and Terry Murphy, a 6-7 forward from Clinton, Iowa. In addition to those three, the Wildcats also are believed to have signed Tom Freeman, a 6-3 guard from Lymwood, Calif. K-State hasn't officially announced the number of players the coach confirmed yesterday that Freeman had signed with the Wildcats. FREEMAN, WHO is the fourth highest scorer in California high school history, was the winner of the USA West America team. He averaged 24 points a game his senior year, which was his fourth in a row. The Wildcats had to beat out UCLA to sign Freeman. Blackman becomes the third Brooklyn high school player to sign with K-State in the past two years. Last year, Curtis Hitschler arrived with assistant coach Mark Reimer SEATTLE (AP)—Bill Russell, coach and general manager of the Seattle SuperSonics for the past four seasons, won't return to the NBA team for the fifth and final year of his contract, a team spokesman said yesterday. During the past season, in which the Sonics finished 40-42 and failed to make the NBA playoffs, Russell was "too expensive" for the team. Sai Schmalm, the Sonics president, said. Blackman was a first-team All-Blackburn selection this year when he averaged 26.5 points per game. Coach leaves Schulman said he preferred that the former Boston Celtics great continue in one job or the other next season, but not both. Observers predict that Bob Hopkins, presently the Sonics' assistant coach, will succeed Russell. MURPHY AVERaged 19.7 points and 12.4 rebounds a game during his senior year. Not all of the basketball signings announced this week brought good news for the Wildcats, however. One who got away was Mike McGee, a 6-4 guard from Omaha, Neb, whom many considered to be the top basketball prospect in Nebraska history. MeeG, who averaged 38 points a game his senior year, had narrowed his choice to Michigan, Creighton, Minnesota and K-State before signing with the Wolverines.

(AP) — Chet Lemon hit a 475-foot home run in the eighth and Oscar Gamble slugged a two-run homer in the ninth, to give the Chicago White Sox a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals last night in a game doubled twice by rain. The Royals took a 2-1 lead in the fifth with two unearned runs but the Sox tied it in the sixth. Fred Patek singed himself the third singleton in an eight-year Kelleher Bart Johnson hat, and was the winner. Lemon's blast, his fourth homer of the year, is believed to be the first ball hit into the left-center field water fountains since Royals' Stadium opened in 1973.
