Jets Choose
5. Sullivan
In Pro Draft
Steve Sullivan, North Texas’ second-
team AU-Missouri Valley offensive tackle,
was drafted by the New York Jets in the
13th round of the NFL player draft
Wednesday.
Sullivan, a 6-8, 251-pound senior from
Wichita Falls, started the year as an offen-
sive tackle for the Eagles, but was switched
to defensive tackle in the middle of the
season.
"Naturally, l was quite pleased to hear
from them," Sullivan told the Daily
Wednesday night. “I was a little surprised,
though, because the Jets hadn’t talked to
me that much. I had heard the Dallas Cow-
boys were interested in me—in fact, they
called me several times during the past few
weeks.”
Sullivan, a physical education major,
said the Jets’ player representative seemed
interested in the possibilities of using him
as a center, a position Sullivan has never
played.
“If they want me to play center. I’ll play
center,” Sullivan said with a laugh. “I’m
just thrilled to be going somewhere.
“I’ve read about Joe Namath and Don
Maynard for a long time,” Sullivan said.
“It’s still a little hard to believe that I'm
going to be playing with them—hopefully
for many years.”
Sullivan said the Jets were sending him,
along with the rest of the rookies, to a din-
ner in New York on Feb. 25, where they
would meet the New York coaches and
veteran players, and watch game films.
Pinball Wizard
Well, it’s too cold for outdoor sports, and running up and down a basketball
court is too much like work, so what’s the next best thing? A game of pin-
ball! What else? A North Texas student comes in out of the cold for a
game at the Syndrome

Indoor Track Meet
Sooners Breeze By Eagles

Weary Eagles In Omaha
'There's No Place Like Home’
Head Coach Carl Babcock and his team
headed north to meet the Oklahoma Uni-
versity team Tuesday and returned with a
disappointing loss, scoring 36 '/2 points
compared to 80 V2 points for their oppo-
nents in a dual meet at Norman, Okla.
“The fact that we are unable to practice
on an indoor track has got to hurt us a
little bit,” Babcock said. “Our main con-
cern is finding out who our best athletes are
in what events.
“RIGHT NOW we are mostly preparing
for the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC)
Indoor Championships. In the next two
matches we are going to have to learn to
run on the boards,” Babcock said. "We
will work something out."
The MVC championships are Feb. 26
at Des Moines, Iowa.
Oklahoma won I0 events and North
Texas five. The Sooners' Butch Clifton won
the mile with a 4:19 and the 1,000-yard run
with 2:21
As expected, the Eagles faired best in the
shot as Don Rohde nailed down first with
a toss of 54-5 and Dennis Lemmons placed
second with a 53-4.
PAUL GRAHAM of North Texas had
an exceptional afternoon while winning
both the high and low hurdles. He galloped
the high in 7.4 and the low in 7.2.
Newcomer Joseph Jubert recorded
impressive third place finishes in the same
events with a 7.6 in the high hurdles and
a 7.3 in the low hurdles.
Austin Salter was up against a tough
field in the 600-yard run. but he came away
with a win His first-place time was clocked
at I: I4.3.
J. R. Varnell won the high jump with a
6-2, and Steve Estes placed second in the
pole vault with a I4-2. Vernon Evans fin-
ished third in the 440 with a time of 51.6.

The surprise ol the afternoon came
from Philip Lusk who managed second
place in the broad jump with a 22-9. Lusk
has been working out with the squad only
two weeks.
The squad's greatest disappointment
came in the long distance events
“From the half-mile on up we were out-
scored 31-5." Babcock explained. “We
have a lot of work to do in the long dis-
tance."
Tom Hess placed second in the mile with
a time of 4:23. Donnie Everett was third
in the 1,000 with a 2:21.5, and Pat Curry
finished third in the half-mile with a 2:03.2.
The Eagles failed to place in the two-mile
event.
North Texas’ game with Creighton to-
night is known as a “breather”—one that
gives a team a break from a rigorous con-
ference schedule. Some breather. The Ea-
gles may need an iron lung after this
breather.
The contest, set for 8 p.m. in Omaha’s
Civic Auditorium Arena, is the final one in
a tortuous four-game road trip for North
Texas that has been winless thus far. And
although the Bluejays are only 10-7 for the
season, the Eagles should not be lulled into
overconfidence.
Creighton is tough on its own court, and

Record Wins
In ’Murals
Sigma Nu and Alpha Phi Alpha each re-
corded wins in Tuesday night play to put
them at the top of their respective fraternity
leagues.
Sigma Nu belted Delta Sigma Phi 36-27
in the only game of Fraternity League A.
Alpha Phi Alpha highlighted play in Fra-
ternity League B by thrashing Tau Kappa
Epsilon, 36-27. In other League B games,
Theta Chi picked up its first win of the cam-
paign by beating Sigma Alpha Mu, 46-27.
Phi Kappa Theta handed the Fijis their
first setback with a 39-20 win.
Ex-Marines No. I remained undefeated

that should be enough said to North Texas,
which has not won away from home all
year except for a victory over Indiana State
at the All-College Tournament in Okla-
homa City that actually came on a neutral
court.
THE BLUEJAYS are a young team,
with nary a senior and just three juniors on
the ten-man squad. Four of the seven
sophomores are starters— 5-11 ‘/i Marc
Mirsky, 6-5 Ted Weubben, 6-6 Gene Har-
mon, and 6-6‘/i Ralph Bobik. The lone
junior is 6-3 guard A1 Lewis.
Tentatively, the ’Jays will have Mirsky
and Lewis at guard, Weubben and Harmon
at forward and Bobik at center, although
the latter is mobile and an excellent passer,
and has played guard on occasion.
Harmon is the team’s top scorer and
second-leading rebounder with 15.5 and 6.9
marks respectively. Lewis is scoring at a
13.9 clip, while Bobik is at 13.5, Weubben
12.5 and Mirsky 5.0. Weubben is a tough
rebounder and is leading the club in that
department with 8.9 a game.
JUNIOR GENE ELLEFSON, 6-7
(8.5), and 6-8 sophomore J. B. LeBlance
(5.2) are the top front-line reserves and 6-1
soph Richie Smith has seen action at guard
Creighton has had some tough competi-
tion this season. It has lost to Ohio State,
Kansas State, St. Johns and Brigham
Young. The Bluejays lost to Tulsa by a
point and dropped another decision to Wy-
oming, which North Texas defeated early
in the year, 94-76.
The Eagles looked better in their last
outing against Drake, a 76-70 loss. They
placed it close in the first half and then,
after Drake raced to a sizable lead in the
second half, came back to make a game of
it. This was encouraging since the club had
looked quite bad in losing to Memphis
State and Louisville.
Coach Gene Robbins plans to go with a
lineup of Norman Williams (5.1) and Jerry
Merck (11.2) at guard, Larry Tucker (9.5)
and Jeryl Sasser (12.1) at forward and
Ephriam McDaniel (16.4) at center.
McDaniel remains the team leader in
most departments. He is the top scorer,
top rebounder (161, 10.1 per game), and
leader in assists (30), field goals (97) and
field goal percentages (51.3). He has the
highest single-game point total, 30, which
he has hit twice, and is second in free-throw
percentage with 78.4 to Mike Adams’ 78.6.
McDaniel, however, has put up 88 free
throws to Adams’ 14
For J. W. COOP,
second place is
the same as last.
