football. Oklahoma would run a close second, with a first place win in football
a tie in basketball and a third and fourth place in track. The figures have not
been compiled, but it looks as if Kansas and Missouri will run a close race for
. third place, with Nebraska end Kansas State tying for fifth and sixth. So all
in all, Kensas has had a very good war year record. The University of Kansas
has ‘been more comearned in fighting the war than they have been in developing

crack athletic teams during this very critical period. This is as it should

bee

: Too many coaches are indulging in frantic flag-~waving while posing
as developers of young men, aiding the war effort through physical condition-
ing programs of athletia games. These eeashed are traveling over the country
signing up all th likely 4F boys with athletic potentialities. They are also
scouting for all 17 year old high school graduates who have one year of athletic
competition before registering for selective service. Cir number one business
in America at the present time is to win the war with everything we have got in
the shortest possible time. Back the attack by an all out effort on the home
front. The 4F athlete in war time should not be glorified nor should he be
villified athletically, but when they are made the medium of an all out effort
to go professionally big time, then there should be pause for sober reflection.
So be prepared for more flag waving, more high sounding patriotic phrases
emulating top physical conditioning of our athletic teams for the coming year
by these same pseudo-developers of college teams.
