f Chronicle Profile He mapped 01 - By AUDREY L. WILLIAMS Chronicle Staff Writer A lot of people probably had Larry Upshaw's future in professional football already mapped out for him before he had even graduated college. He was reading a different map, though. , "I wasn't really that interested in playing profes^ sional football," says the Topeka, Kansas, native. "Everyone expected me to play pro ball since both my uncles were playing." Both his uncles, Gene and Marvin Upshaw, played for the National Football League. At Duke University, where Upshaw excelled in football and track, receiving scholarships to nlav hoth ! ?"? _ , r W??. , IIV f i I V\V I I IO uncles, was stalked by the nation's top teams after college. But even the Dallas Cowboys couldn't convince him to turn pro. "Being from the Midwest," he says, t4f watched a lot of my friends go into football professionally and when they had a leg injury or got too old to play, they had to start all over again. 1 didn't want that." What he did want was a full-fledged career in law enforcement, and as director of institutional services I and campus security at Salem Academy and College, >> Upshaw has had the opportunity to work toward his \ goal and more. In Kansas, Upshaw was considered a regular :,? hometown hero. He still holds the state high school record for the 100 yard dash (9.3).

U f it his own future | receiving during the '70s. It was Mike McGee, one of the many four-year college and university coaches interested in Upshaw's athletic talents, who coaxed him to come to Duke. ^ "I enjoyed football," Upshaw says, "but it wasn't I my first love. It just got me through school." Leaving Coffeyville to go f500 miles to Duke disappointed a lot of people in Kansas, especially | those close to Upshaw . "It was totally against my parents' wishes that I come this far to school," he says. "It really took 1 some getting used to for my mother. She would call i '7 enjoyed football, but it wasn't my first love. It just got me through school. " a ~ Larry Upshaw j me and ask, 4Are you roming home this weekend?' j 44But," says Upshaw, 44I knew the Duke degree I would carry me a long way and I don't regret coming this far." He holds a double degree in sociology and * psychology from Duke and says the academic background, although challenging, has helped him a great deal in his line of work. During the summers, Upshaw worked with the campus police a^Ddke and it was there, he says, that he realized that Woncing with juvenile delinquents or institutional law enforcement was where his career objectives were aimed.
