And now for the big news, Ernest C. Quigley, a Kansas athletic
great of 1900, a former coach at St. Mary's College and St. Louis University,
also National League umpire of many, many vears, and the outstanding national
sports official in the tmited States Lor many years, has been elected Director
of athietic ¢s at the Jniversity of Kansas.

We all weicome Quig, most whols--heartediye He is courageous,
energetic, dvnanie end resouwcefule One wag said that Quigley has been
connested with profecsionnl athletics so long he should make < great succoss
in coidlege athletics, and I lnow he will. Quig comes to whe campus August —
first as the buoes cf 211 intervollegiate athleties. The frieads of football,
especially, lnow ba he, being one of the great gridiron luminaries at the
University, this sport will roceive his arab and prompt attsntione

The fact that Quigley was a track man at the University insures
the followers of track that Quig will rovive the Kansas Reiays and develop
this vory important cinder track sport. Jmd 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 hansas baseball). prowess
of .former ycarse 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. Tho fact that Quigicy officiated in practically all the
major intercollegiate and independent basketball tournaments shows his leader
ship in this Splondid game, In tha late thirties Ernio Quigley toured Japan
and officiated in basketball tournaments for the Japanese. He suid that after
starting the Japanaso games in carly evening and working until four o'clock in
the morning, the only way ho could finish the tournament at ail was to dis»
qualify oan entire team the first time any player on a team made a personal fouls
He observed that basketball interest in Japan was definitely more intense than
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
mad, perhaps about tho time they went war mid.

We hope hereafter that no fumble-brain-pee-wee-nit-wit will say
that anyone othor then Mr. Quigley is |Tynning athletics at the University of
KansaSe
