School First, Football Second, Says Murphy
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told members of the Lawrence Quarterback club last night that "education comes first at the University of Kansas—and football second."
The chancellor, introduced as "one of the most rabid football fans in the country" admitted that he loved to see his team win. He said a desire to win was a healthy sign, but that in doing so it must always reflect well upon the school.
"Athletic depressions through the years, because football, like any part of life has its ups and downs, will not affect the positions of the coaching staff, so long as I am president of the school," he said, revealing that he's solidly behind Coach J. V. Sikes and his entire staff.
"The staff must feel secure—over a reasonable length of time," he further cautioned. "And I personally feel that if they continue to receive support, they will do well."
The University head said that the "mean win average" over the years is good, and will continue to be good.
Getting back to his "winning" topic, the chancellor warned that in the process of winning, any "win at any cost" feeling well end in the passage of cash, back and forth.
"No pressure must be allowed to build up so that money starts changing hands," he said. "When you do this you're putting football on the same plane as the old Roman gladiators who killed each other to satisfy the lust of spectators."
Revealing he has little patience over those who "weep crocodile tears" over the "sorry state" of intercollegiate football, Murphy admitted there were situations that needed correcting.

Magazine Features Articles By KU Men
Articles written by Dr. James Barclay Smith, professor of law, and two KU, law students were published in the last issue of the Journal of the Bar Association of the State of Kansas.
Dr. Smith's article was entitled, "Procedural Judicial Electricism."
Richard Stavely, second year law, wrote concerning the automobile guest statute. The topic of Jack Stewart, third year law, was easements.
"Football has a natural, dignified place in any educational system," he said. Adding that "a proper balance must be maintained, between the sport and receiving an education."
"And I think our balance is as good as any team's in the conference."
He finished up with, "once rules are set up governing football—no team is going to get up any earlier than Kansas to do the best possible, within those rules"
May Discontinue Football Movies
Despite an utter lack of student interest, movies of Jayhawker football players in action will be shown one more time, officials in the athletic office said today.
"Only 10 or 12 turned out for movies on the Colorado-Kansas game," the spokesman said, "but we're going to provide the students with one more chance. If they don't care to see the play by play films, the practice will be discontinued."
The Utah-Kansas film will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Strong hall.

New York—(U.P.)-Berths on the United States Davis Cup team, which are the most coveted items in the amateur tennis world, were being passed up by stars today because they can't spare the time for the trip to Australia.
PASS UP HONOR
New York—(U.P.)—The most wide-apost college football season in many and many a year is emerging from the rubble of early-season upsets.
'Dazed' Experts Lose Much Face
Dazed "experts" throughout the nation now know they no longer can rattle off the names of such
This'n That; Here'n There
Dallas, Tex.—U(P.)-Four summers ago a gumshoe for a Southwest conference school brought a tall, gangling youngster into the head coach's office and introduced him to the head man.
The coach acknowledged the greeting and asked:
"What sport do you play, son?"
Somewhat taken aback as most youngsters might be, that he wasn't recognized, the boy mumbled something about being a "baseball pitcher" and let it go at that. But, he decided then that this wasn't the school for him.
The boy, Fred Benners, is still pitching all right, but it's a football that he's throwing for strikes.
He went back home to Dallas and enrolled in Southern Methodist university.
BASEBALL'S THE LIFE
New York—(U,P)—Baffled Chuck Connors, a man of letters who never knows where he'll receive his mail, was assigned by the Chicago Cubs to Los Angeles today for at least the umpteenth time.
"Every time I look up," said the harried, intellectually - minded first baseman recently. "I'm either catching a train for Chicago or missing one out of Los Angeles."
Columbus, O. — (U,P) — Ohio state makes its big time television debut here Saturday against Indiana university, "a team that will be all right when it cures puffiness."
INVESTIGATE FARM SYSTEM
Washington — (U.P.) — Congressional baseball investigators focused attention today on the "farm system" for developing big leaguers and on the Pacific League's fight for major league status.
Baker came back with a razzle-dazzle type football to tie it up. After Steele wound up on the lugging end of a double lateral and carried to the Kansas 16, Sheridan made it first and goal down to the four. One play later Sheridan scampered into the end zone. Maxwell Sloop kicked the point and the Wildcats were as
Leslie M. O'Connor, Pacific League counsel, was called for day-long questioning by a house monopoly subcommittee. The group is studying organized baseball's request for exemption from anti-trust laws.
KU 'Bees' Overwhelm Baker In 53-19 Trouncing Friday
CARTIER WINS AGAIN
Boston — (U.P). The unbeaten string of Walter Cartier, New York star of television boxing, was stretched to 19 victories Monday as result of a 48-second knockout over Joe Rindone of Boston.
Cartier, appearing before what was perhaps his smallest audience, wasted little time in disposing of Windone, after first flooring him with a left hook in eight seconds of their scheduled 10-rounder before 3,836 Boston garden fans.
Feller rammed over on the first series of plays to give the Bees an early lead. Bill Pulliam converted and the Jayhawks led 7-0.
Hub Ulrich's Jayhawker Bees made it two-for-three Friday night when they toiled, teetered, and finally trounced Baker university's Wildcats 53 to 19.

It was Don Feller and Dick Sandifer spearheading the attack of the "B" performance. Jerry Steele and Jim Sheridan carried the load for Karl Spear's 'Cats.
close as they were to come the rest of the night.
From that point on it was a long night for Baker. Kansas scored three more times in the first half to hold a leading 28-7 edge at the intermission.
Bud Roberts latched on to a Baker pass early in the third period and toted it 63 yards for a Kansas score. The varsion version was true and Kansas led 33-7.
Baker came back with a Steele-to- John Lewis pass play to make it 13-13.
Kansas counted once more in third period to lead 40-13 at the three-quarter mark.
The 'Cats got their final touchdown when Bill Eddy cracked over from 10 yards out.
Kansas racked up two "insult" markers in the fourth quarter and Baker suffered its fourth setback in is many starts.
teams as Army, Notre Dame, and Michigan as sure national leaders before settling down to a close study of the teams.
For, after only three weeks, Army has yet to win a game. Michigan has dropped two out of three, and Notre Dame suffered its first defeat, 27-20, to pass-happy, revenge - hungry Southern Methodist on Saturday.
So, on a national scale, it looked like only California — for three straight years the kingpin of the Pacific Coast conference—was running true to predicted form, along with Michigan State.
California had to come from behind on Saturday to beat Washington state, 42 to 35, and Michigan state had to do the same to beat Marquette, 20 to 14. And this week California runs into Southern California, the West's "Cinderella" team which is unbeaten in four starts. Michigan state is in for a rough assignment against once-beaten Penn state, one of the top Eastern independents.
Meanwhile, the scandal-wrecked cadets of Army who took a 28-14
beating from Dartmouth, will try for their first win against Harvard, one of the few teams they expect to beat. Notre Dame faces Pitt, and Michigan, which rocked Indiana, 33-14, for its first win on Saturday, comes back against Iowa.
GREATLY EXAGGERATED
New York—(U.P.)-You can ignore those reports of the death of the Cleveland Browns—for as Mark Twain would be wont to say, they "are greatly exaggerated."
They were ready to bury the men of Paul Brown when they dropped their opening game of the National Football League season to the San Francisco forty-niners.
