Others are tall, powerfil and rangy, but they do not get out of themselves
the wonderful latent possibilities that they possess. Others have & com=
bination of fine physique and excellent technique, but fail to observe
training rules, which is the most essential ingredient to morale and even=
tual successe

May I quote Maude Royden, the great English woman sociologist, who
said, "Y ow cannot break Nature's laws, but you can breal. yourself against
Nature's lows.” Is it not thinknble that a boy who has such a fine

Meny of the people have picked Kansas to win the championship this
yosr and I am frank to tell you that if we win it we are going to havo to
show a lot more stuzf than we showed in spring practice, or what our
returning regulars showed from last year's playing seasone

technique than ever beforee Our regular varsity basketball practice will
start by Octobe: first, if not a wock befores We will proctice threo times
p week and we are going to learn our fundamentals, both offensively and

Missouri football game at Lawrence, 30 degin to think basketball and think
in terms of training, conditioning and team play thot will set this Kensas
foam out as one of the really great Kansas teams of all timee You can do it,
but you can't do it by wishful thinkinge The educator says, ‘we learn by
doing". What are you doing?

 

I have been here at the University during the entire eight weeks
Summer Session and I have written to the different toys, some of whom
needed Correspondence Study but did not teke ite One follow in particulor
was in the Engineering School and needed tut one hour to be eligiblee TI
wrote him and he made no response. So far as I om concerned I do not care
because if 2 fellow is no more interested in his sport then thate he would
not exercise himself to the point of etting one hours then I co not wont
to be bothered with him on my squade If a boy does not vent to pley
strongly enough that he will give up some things to achieve the more worth=
while things, then I am not interested in hime Personally, I will promise
to work harder than any men on the squad, and if you don't believe it,
challenge me oncé€e

But I want to say to you very frankly that I have no time for
twiddlers or twaddlers, and alibis won't be worth a dime with mee I will
deliver and I will expect you to do likewisee
