Basketball Coach Allen wants
players to carry 'Anti-Flunk
Insurance During Season.

"Anti-flunk insurance" is the term applied to a requirement
for all basketball players, Dr. F. C. Allen, basketball coach has
announced. The rule is that all palyers, to be eligible for com-
petition, must maintain a "C" average in their academic work.

"The player who is just barely above the line of passing

. through the early training period, is likely to become ineligible
when the strenuous season starts," said Dr. Allen, "If a boy isn't
making at least "C" average, he had better pay attention to his
books and leave basketball alone. After all, he has come to coll-
ege for the purpose of making progress toward graduation. "

Dr. Allen added that basketball is one sport that is
likely to suffer from ineligibility rules, since its playing
season extends from one school semester into another. The "0"
average rule applies to freshmen who will compete in the varsity-
frosh game, November 29, and to varsity men who hope to make the
Texas trip during the Christmas holidays.

Starting Monday, the varsity will practice every day at
5:50 and the freshmen four nights a week from 6:30 to 8:00.
Dr Allen will coach both squads, and will be assisted in the
freshman coaching by some of the varsity men who are physical
education majors contemplating a coaching career.

The freshman-varsity game of November 29, and the double
header, December 3, at the time of the Warrensburg Teachers
game, bringing in some Kansas stars of other years, have just
been announced as additions to the nonconference schedule.
