    Mid Term Players of Late '50s - '60s

    Reading through the "Build It" thread got me thinking about an old question I've had about Shocker players from the late '50s through the '60's. Why were there so many mid term players (for my lack of a better description) during that era?

    I believe all or most of the following players used up their eligibility at the mid term: Lanny Van Eman, Dave Stallworth, Ernie Moore, Leonard Kelley, Ron Washington, and Nate Bowman(?). This group would make up a pretty good team by the way!

    Bump.

    OK guys. I moved to Wichita in '67 and I'm not THAT old. Surely there's someone on here that knows something about this.

      I know Ernie Moore was about grades and staying eligible. Can't remember about nate Bowman, but I remember thinking it wasn't fair.

      If I recall correctly, a kid could play six semesters (or eight in years where freshment could play) rather than 3 years or 4 years. So if a kid was academically inelible in the spring, he could play the following fall and then exhaust his eligiblity.

        Nate

        Bowman had grade problems, which caused him to be out of sync. Stallworth, on the other hand, was a voluntary choice -- Ralph Miller wanted him (not surprisingly) as soon as he could get him on the floor.

          Ernie Moore was an academic casualty the second semester of his sophomore year. In his 5th year he was then allowed to play the second semester. The NCAA said he could not play in the post season of the same 5th year. Stallworth says with Ernie we were the best team in the country and we would have won it all.

              Thanks all!

              "Taking a nap". :lol:

              On the other hand, maybe I am that old. :shock:
