ROTARY HOS HOSTS —
TO BULLDOGS |

Phog Allen Addresses ctub
And Basketball Squad

Dr. Forrest “Phog” Allen told the
Rotary club and the Independence
Bulldog basket ball squad, guests
of the club at its meeting this noon,
that he would advise every boy to
go out for competitive athletics not
only for the body building they
bring but also because through
playing on a team boys learn to
get along with people and acquire
the “sense of belonging.”

The University of Kansas direc-
tor of physical education and coach
of Jayhawker basket ball teams
which have won 10 out of 16 Big Six |
championships with three ever-vic- |
torious seasons, declares that ath- |
letics can be of the finest influ-
ence on a boy if he keeps in. sight
first the chief objectives for which
he attends college—to get an edu-
cation.

“The boy. will benefit from ath- |
letic training if he plays under a |
coach who teaches him to say ‘no’.
‘to a thousand things before he
says ‘yes’ to a championship,” de-
clared the fiery K. U. mentor,

Allen reiterated his often-made |

plea for a “Czar” of college atilet- |
ics and paid his respect to coaches
/who recruit stay players from high
school teams with promises of easy
jobs to pay their school expenses. |
| “TY teli boys there is nothing casy
‘in success,” he said, “but that it is |
| tough. I want to win but not a boy |
‘on the K. U. team gets more for |
-part-time Jobs than the standard
25 or 30 cents an hour and he can-
not work more than two hours a
day. %

“Too many coaches no longer de-
velop character or men but merely
develop teams.”

“There is nothing wrong ‘in itself
with going to college to participate
in athleties. Many who do that
catch the gleam and go on to be-
come leaders in scientific and other
fields.”

Allen was presented by Harvey
Ray, chairman of the club’s boys’
work committee after President
Joe Turner had told the Bulldog |
champions of the $.H.K. league that |
the club was proud of them because |
it is interested. in boys...
