Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn Allen Glenn RADIO PROGRAM PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR HEALTH February 24, 1938 "Golf and A College Education" I am pleased te have as my suest tonight Glenn Ostman, who has attained natiowl, recomition in golf since his graduation from the UWiversity of Kansas, and who this spring will coach the Kansas varsity golf teame How do you feel to return to the University as this year's golf coach, Glenn? There is no place I would rather be, Doce I met lots of nice people and saw some grand country this past summer, but K.U. still has an enticing atmosphere ¢ Glenn, you have come over what some people might call the difficult roade You have had to work your way through high school and college. I remem~ ber years ago when you caddied for successful business men here, and it seemed to me that their sportsmanship appealed to youe You naturally desired to emulate those successful big shot business men in their activity recreation hours, as well as their business hourse Those men were college graduates, and you desired to follow in their footsteps. It was pleasurable activity but it required long hours, As a Caddy you had to be very courteous, solicitous, on the job all the time, and it taught you a certain type of patience through the hard grind of things. Don't you think by this patience a nd courtesy and special talent that a caddy has to possess to serve his employer that he learns a great deal about human nature? Yes, Dr. Allon, I believe that caddying is one of the best trainings a boy can followe There is no place where one's character is better cx= hibited than when playing golf. The boy who watches the duffers as well as the good players learns concentration and the correct mental attitude for competitive golfe This also helps him in other endeavorse As Grantland Rice once said, "Golf will try the nerves of even the doctors and clergy." I even believe tournament golf the hardest of any game in whith to acquire the right mental attitudes Well, I quite agree with you, Glenne We won't mention any names, but did you ever play with anybody who threw clubs? Yes, I havee Some people lose their temper, even in tournament golf. Well, Adolph Rupp, one of my old basketball players back on the 19235 ever-victoriuus team, and now coach at the University of Kentueky, tells a good onee He was playing golf with a fellow on one of those beauti- ful Kentucky courses, and his business man friend got so angry with his shots that he drove in a water hazard that he picked up his clubs and threw them in the lake, then he threw his golf bag in the lake, and then he picked up his eaddy and threw him in the lake§ Well, there was only one thing left to do then = someone should have thrown him in the lake, too, or he should have jumped in himself,
