And I know he will. Quig comes to the campus August first as the boss of all intercollegiate athletics. The friends of football, especially, know that he, being one of the great gridiron luminaries eat the University, this sport will receive his first and prompt attention. The fact that Quigley was a track man at the University insures the followers of track that Quig will revive the Kansas Relays and develop this very important cinder track sport. And the fact that Quig was a great baseball player and National League umpire and public relations representative of the National League, may mean that he will revive Kansas baseball prowess of former years. For many, many years Kansas was among the leaders in this diamond sport. So football, track and baseball will all receive a stimulus under this dynamic leader. The fact that Quigley officiated in practically all the major intercollegiate and independent basketball tournaments shows his leadership in this splendid game. In the late thirties Ernie Quigley toured Japan and officiated in basketball tournaments for the Japanese. He said that after starting the Japanese games in early evening and working until four o'clock in the morning, the only way he could finish the tournament at all was to disqualify an entire team the first time any player on a team made a personal foul. He observed that basketball interest in Japan was definitely more intense that in the United States and that crowds numbering ten thousand attended these great tournaments. He felt that Japan had gone basketball as well as baseball med, perhaps about the time they went war mad. We hope hereafter that no fumble-brain-pee-wee-nit-wit will say that anyone other than Mr. Quigley is running athletics at the University of Kansas. Summer football practice will begin on August 14th. Five weeks later, on September 15th, our first game of the season will be played here against Washburn University. There are still two open dates in the schedule but Head Coach Henry Shenk and Boss Quigley will soon errange some games to fill these dates. The football schedule at present is as follows: September 15 - Washburn at Lawrence September 235 - Texas Christian University at Kansas City September 50 - Denver University at Denver October 7 - Tulsa University at Tulsa October 14 - Iowa State College at Ames October 21 - Nebraska at Lawrence October 28 and November 4 - Open November 1] - Kansas State College at Manhattan November 18 - Oklahoma at Lawrence November 235 - Missouri at Kansas City Monday's mail brought me a letter from Pfc. Vaughn W. B. "Chick" Pontius, APO 4, New York, our former golf pro at the Lawrence Country Club. We are thrilled to know that Chick has proved to be one of America's first class fighting men. Wounded a couple of times, Chick relates his innermost thoughts as follows: "I thought I would drop you a line while I am in the hospital. I re- ceived two wounds while I was on the front line. They aren't very bad, tho, I got hit in the right leg and once in the right arm. I received the Purple Heart July 15. They tell me that I will be ready to go beck to the front in about another week. . .. I sure would Like to have a golf club in my hand instead of a gun." 101.
