The KU student body could learn a lesson from 11-year-old Jay Barrier of Wichita.
It is apropos that this lad's name is Jay, because he is an avid Kansas Jayhawker fan.
Jay, and it is his real name, not a nickname, stands behind the Jayhawkers win or lose.
He is disappointed, but not discouraged when his team loses to TCU or barely defeats Boston.
The KU student body however is the opposite. Pessimistic comments emit from over the campus that the Jayhawkers are mediocre.
There is no optimism, which is sometimes referred to as school spirit. College students are much too mature for that. They look at everything realistically, which is usually pessimistic.
Besides being a Jayhawker fan, Jay roots for the Milwaukee Braves in the National League. When Jay's mother visited Lawrence last week to see her son Dave, a KU student, she reported that Jay was still pulling hard for his Braves.
Jay is not very old and has a long way to go in formal education, but the boy is a sports wizard. In his small head he has many facts and figures about his Kansas Jayhawkers.
"I think he thinks they still a chance," Mrs. Barrier said. The Braves were 16 games out of first place and mathematically eliminated from the title.
Tomorrow afternoon Jay will be beside his radio cheering every exciting play the Jayhawkers make. The KU student body however, will probably be grumbling because the Jayhawkers did not execute a play perfectly.
This world needs more Jay Barriers who look at the bright side of life and stick behind their beliefs come rain or shine.

We are still hoping to see the Kansas Jayhawkers play on a dry field.
With speedy Gale Sayers at T-back, quarterback Rodger McFarland instead of calling his signals "One, two, three" will probably have to say "Runners to your mark, get set, go."
Our hopes might have to wait, however, since rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow in Lawrence.
Perhaps new swimming coach Dick Reamon should be added to the football coaching staff. He could instruct the Jayhawkers in using fins.
The Intramural Leagues had its first casualty last Friday afternoon, namely "ye olde UDK sports editor."
This writer, turned athlete, soared into the air, deflected a pass and ran into a teammate whose elbow penetrated deeply into the right thigh.
THOUGH FEELING a twinge of pain, this scribe abounded from the turf just as real football players do. Stiffness did not set in until that evening. Along with stiffness, excruciating pain was there too.
Since then this sportswriter has decided to leave the playing to the younger fellows. Coach Anderson has been informed that his defensive specialist will be sidelined for the year. He disagrees but
Giants Tired; But Ready to Retaliate
An amusing incident happened the other day. A waitress asked this wounded gridman if he would be unable to play in the Colorado game. The reply "yes."
He often had trouble beating the New York Yankees when he was in the American League. And now as a fugitive from their power but a big winner in the National League, he discovered that things haven't changed a bit.
SAN FRANCISCO—(UPI)—For Billy O'Dell it was another day, another dollar—and the same old story.
"WHILE I WAS over there, I hoped that I could even my record against them." O'Dell said after he and San Francisco were beaten, 6-2, in yesterday's opening game of the World Series. "Now I hope that I get another chance against them before this is over. We're 'in it.' all doing our best, O'Dell is tired but he didn't gripe. He pitched real good."
O'Dell announced last winter that he wanted to work more or be traded. He got his wish this year, pitching more than 263 innings. And when he faced New York yesterday, he was making his fourth appearance in seven days.
The Yanks took him again, although he struck out eight batters and usually was tough in the clutchs.
"Boyer hit a real good pitch," O'Dell said afterward in his matter of fact way. "It was a fast ball, low and away. But Boyer was a better hitter than the pitch."
BUT HE OPENED the seventh inning by delivering a home run ball to Clete Boyer that put the Yankees ahead, 3-2. The Giants never caught up.
"WILLIE McCOVEY will be at first base," said Giant Manager Alvin Dark, sitting behind his desk with his hands interlaced on top of his head. "Cepeda has played about 260 games this year, including winter ball. That is too much for anyone." "I'm not tired; I feel pretty good." Cepeda said. "Well . . . I feel so-so."
The long arm of winter baseball finally caught up with Orlando Cepeda, a legend in Puerto Rico, who was not expected to start today against Yankee right-hander Ralph Terry.
Big Orlando, a power hitter last season, went hitless against Whitey Ford yesterday and grounded into a double play to end a third inning rally.

WHILE CEPEDA claimed to feel okay, Willie Mays pulled no punches about his own exhaustion.
"Me, I'm dead," Mays answered while being congratulated for rapping three singles off Ford in four trips. "I think there is no doubt that there is fatigue on this club. We were tired when we went into the playoff against Los Angeles. We're

Jack Sanford, scheduled to start against Terry, also has his troubles.
"TM READY TO go although I've got a hell of a cold." Sanford said, his blue eyes a trifle dim from the virus. "I'm takin' pills that help. I've had this thing for a long time and can't seem to shake it."
Dark brushed off a suggestion that losing the opener on home grounds was a death blow.
"This club has bounced back all season," he said, strolling toward some of his players. "Today's loss doesn't mean a thing."
