Allen Praises Coach Sikes
J. V. Sikes, head football coach, was praised for his fine co-operation in the use of double sports athletes today, by the Jayhawker basketball coach, F. C. "Phog" Allen.
"J. V, has established a fine relationship that we certainly appreciate, not only with basketball but with other sports as well." Coach Allen said. "He is always coming around to know if he can help in some way. Brother, that is something."
Coach Allen, who perennially has had one or two gridders on his basketball squad, has five on his team this year. Three of them, Dean Wells, sophomore halfback; Lyn Smith; junior end; and Aubrey Linville, sophomore end, have played more or less prominent roles in Kansas' late surge into a first place tie in the Big Seven cage stands.
Two more sophomores, Jerry Bogue, Wichita quarterback, and Bill Schaake, Lawrence end, have been sparingly used.
"They are going to make it alright." Coach Allen explained, "they are big, intelligent, and aggressive. Watch them go next year.
"I always like some football spirit on my basketball team. They have the dash and ability to take contact which inflames a team to greater endeavor."
Schaake was an all-state selection in football and basketball for the Lawrence Lions, playing on Coach Chalmer Woodard's surprising 1948 state basketball championship team which upset Newton.

Carl V. Rice, '18, Democratic national committeeman from Kansas City, Kan., told members of the Young Democrats club the main conflict in this country is liberty against monopoly, not liberty against socialism as has been expressed so thoroughly in recent court trials and exposes.
"We must fight a twin battle—monopoly and socialism. I would much rather live in a social state than in a state where all industry is controlled by cartels or monopolies," Mr. Rice said.
"There is no answer in the sense of a formula," he continued, "the only answer is to keep a flexible mind, continue to be bold, keep in mind the traditions of the past and when they don't fit, make new traditions."
"People choose the type of government that will do the most good for the most people." Mr. Rice said. Our job is to convince the people our government can do a better job of winning the world's confidence than the totalitarian governments.
Considering a more local issue, Mr. Rice said if Kansas agriculture does not prosper no one in Kansas will prosper. The farm income is now dropping in proportion to income derived from industry and business just as it did in the agricultural depression following World War I, he commented.
"Propaganda against farm subsidization is the most vicious of any propaganda ever put out by an American agency." Mr. Rice asserted. "We must not hesitate to do whatever is necessary to prevent a recurrence of the conditions of 1920 and 1921."
"No matter what the cost is, it will save the United States treasury a large expense," he said.
Mr. Rice pointed out that when the government thought labor conditions were too unstable it raised the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour. This could involve a much larger amount of money than the farm support program, he said.
"Dynamic democracy is the solution to our problems, Mr. Rice suggested, "not by a formula or by an algorithm," but democratic action we can get a better solution to our problem than by any other source."
