And while the Kansas board of regents is handing over
the football coaching reins to Phog it should also reinstate
him as athletic director. This, of course, would just be a
technicality anyway. Being shorn of that authority didn’t
slow up Phog one whit. He continued to attack the N. C. A. A.
on all fronts, predict the end of intercollegiate football within
a decade and ask pointed questions of young men who moved
from one Big Six school to another in his best athletic direc-
tor manner while being only the Jayhawks’ head basketball
coach, But we still cling to the theory that the jobs of head

_football coach and athletic director should always be invested
in one man and we make no exception a the case of Phog.
Allen.

We realize, of course, that this suggestion will meet with little
support in many sections of the University of Kansas Alumni Asso-
ciation. Some of those boys have taken a very stubborn attitude
toward Phog.. They’ve blamed him for everything bad that has hap- |
pened in Douglas County with the exception of the sack of Lawrence. |
Phog got out from under the blame for that by claiming he was speak-
ing ata high school athletic banquet that night and was busy work-|
ing his way through the chicken a la king when Quantrell and his
boys worked their version of the T formation on the Kansans.

However, university authorities could go farther and
do worse than name Phog Allen athletic director and head
football coach. And it is just not because competent foot-
ball coaches are hard to find in a country at war, Everything
Phog Allen does he does right. There are no halfway meas-
ures with him. And a man who operates on that principle :

~ean’t heip but be a success regardless ‘of what he is doing.
The Jayhawks have long been seeking a football Moses. Now
they can get one right on their own front doorstep. Let
them forget their Rock-Chalk for a time and have for their
_new battle cry, “Pulverize 7Em With Phog!”’
