There's sure a lot of ‘em here.
Yeah « « say, look over there - by that post - isn’t that ---
Goe . » that's »« « « that's Fred Pralle,

Yeah.

Hey, he’s walking out into the middle of the room - listen « « «

OK. follows, como on in here closer, I want to talk to youe . . that’s
better. Now, most of you fellows have played basketball in your high
schools . « e and what I'm going to say'll be old stuff to you « e but it
won't do any harm to repeat ite In the first placo, you've got to trair,
and train hard. We don't say very much about that, because we believe thot
if you check out 2 uniform you let us mow that you‘re willing to train.
You've got to cut out nicotine and alcohol. Vhy? Because the human machine
that's under good control can win over the one thatisn't. We know, and so
do you, that you've got to train to win. Only when your body's in good con-
dition can you drive your opponents so hard and so relentlessly that you
weer fem downe « » and when you do wear 'tem down... you can lick ‘om, In
this school there are three extra-curricular activities: there's athlctics,
or social or politics. You can take your choice, but if you go in for bas-
ketball you have certain obligations to carry through - this isn't an athlet~
ic club and it isn't a YsMeCoAse « « « we've all go to work and train and
have a lot of enthusiasm for the thing we're doing. And now, I want you
fellows to mect Sylvester Schmidt. . . Smitty's not only a star player on
the floor, but he's « straight A student on the campus, and if you don't
think that's something, you try ite OK. Smitty « « « «

Thanks, Frede « « One thing we're proud of on this team is our scholastic
standinge A lot of people have the idea that athletes don't make good grados,
and that the profs lot ‘em through just because they're on the team. That's
a lot of foolishness. Wo don't try to get by because we're on the team - wo
try to make better grades. Pralle heres been all Big Six guard for two
yearsee and he’s made a good grade averageee and so have Ebling and Harp

and Kappelmaneee Johnson, Florell, Corlis, and all the restes,.e You've got

to make the grades to play on the teame Isn't that right, Golay?

Suree Doc Allen tells us the first thing to keop our grades upe

It like to show you what the record of the team was for last your, You

see this chart hore on the black board...it's the total number of nours snc 4
the grades madoe.eel08 hours of A=242 hours of B-463 hours of C-and 89 hoars
of D= and if you'll look where it says failure=you'll see 2 great big goose
ege there. Not an hour of failure on the entire term. All you new fellowe
have to remember is that as far as grades are concerned, you have to main-
tain a certain average to play - and it doesn't make any difference how

good you are if we can't use youre And now - I'd like to have you meet
