Uncle Jimmy Is Given Coat
The old dean and the student standing beside him looked cold. They were hatless, wore no gloves, and had no overcoats. The bitter wind bustled across Mt. Oread and chilled them from head to toe. It was then that someone decided to bestow a coat upon the pair. The coat was silver and black. The presentation was Jan. 28.
"If anyone ever wants any assistance in throwing this statue into the river, he could get it from the painters," one workman remarked, chuckling. With a set of brooms and a ladder, he stepped on to the steps, the sidewalks, the base of the statue and to the law dean and student.
Early this morning, when the weather bureau reported temperatures 10 degrees above zero, a cold crew of painters began applying gasoline and paint remover to the coat splattered upon Uncle Jimmy Green and the student standing beside him in front of Green hall. The painters were not enjoying the task.
"Someone certainly did a very thorough job," said R. H. Wagstaff, assistant superintendent of buildings and grounds. "The paint-was applied by merely tossing jars of it from the street." Broken glass could be seen amidst the splashes of paint.
Compton To Be Speaker During Religious Week
Dr. Arthur Holly Compton, chancellor of Washington university, St. Louis, and Nobel prize winner in physics, wil be the opening speaker of Religious Emphasis week at an all-student convocation Monday, Feb. 27. in Hoch auditorium.
"Power with Purpose" will be the topic of his speech and the theme for the week of religious activities from Sunday, Feb. 26 through March 2. This theme, meaning the power of God and the power of man, was selected because it emphasizes that misuse of power and the use of power without purpose are two main causes of the world's problems.
William Schmiederer, new secretary of the Metropolitan Y.M.C.A. of Kansas City, has been invited by the University Y.M.C.A. to be their guest speaker. Father Gene Malcolm, of Grace church, Carthage, Mo., has accepted the invitation of the Canterbury club, the Episcopal student group.
Various student religious groups on the campus have invited out-of-town speakers to meet University students at informal house discussion groups, in the classroom, and in special all-student seminars. The speakers will also attend faculty luncheons during the week.
The Rev, Charles Edward Brubaker, student pastor at Arkansas university, has been selected by the Westminster fellowship group; and Herman Will, Jr., staff member of the Methodist commission on world peace, will be the representative of the Wesley foundation.
The Jewish Student union has asked Rabbi Nathan Hershfield, of the Congregation B'nai Jehudah, Kansas City, Mo., to be their discussion leader. The Baptist Student fellowship will have Dr. Andrew B. Martin, president of Ottawa university, as their guest speaker.

Quigley's Words Have Become Sports Legend
In August, 1945, Ernest C. Quigley, retiring director of University athletics, received a letter which had traveled all the way from Europe and half-way across the United States to the Mt. Oread campus bearing only the inscription, "You can't do that!" U.S.A."
When the former major league umpire opened he found that the post office department hadn't made a mistake in selecting him as the man whom those words had made famous.
The story of how those four words had come to be associated with 'Ernie' Quigley is one of sportsdom's friends.
Although born in the little town of New Castle, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1881, E. C. Quigley went to high school at Concordia, Kan., and began his sports career with letters in football and baseball. From 1900 to 1902, he attended K.U. and saved Kansas from defeat at the hands of Missouri in their 1900 game. With M.U. leading 6 to 0 at the half, "Quigli" took a punt in the second half and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Then, by kicking the extra point, he put K.U. out in front. K.U. added football letters and one for track to his collection.
In the summer of 1910, Mr. Quigley decided to make a little extra money by umpiring in the Wisconsin State league. Thus, he started the career that was to make him famous as an umpire and referee. The New York State league was his next post in 1912.
In 1913, "Quig" signed with the National Baseball league where he remained for more than 30 years. Mr. Quigley's record includes six American World Series games and one Japanese World'S series.
E. C. QUIGLEY
His presence in the profession has done much to raise the standards of the umpiring fraternity and many of his fellow umpires give him credit for numerous improvements that had to do with the game's officials. He had a hand in improving the umpire's dressing quarters and has always been a crusader for better things.
In 1913, Mr. Quigley was made supervisor of umpires in the National league, and in 1937, director of public relations for the league. He kept this job until 1944 when he accepted the position of director of athletics at K.U.
His reputation and the fact that he has been called the most famous Kansan in the field of sports are not based solely on his achievements in baseball. He is also nationally known as a football and basketball official, having refereed in football from 1904 to 1943 and in basketball, from 1906 to 1942. He has officiated at three Rose Bowl football games, five Yale-Harvard classics and one Cotton Bowl game.
athletes for Big Seven schools and brought in George Sauer as head football coach. In 1947, his strategy paid off when K.U. was selected to play in the Orange Bowl.
To overcome the second difficulty, Mr. Quigley used a plan in which alumni and friends could buy war bonds, turn them over to the Athletic Association, and in this manner pay off the debt and interest. The debt was paid off in full before the date it was due.
"You can't do that" became his special property as the result of a habit he acquired while officiating on the basketball courts of the nation. During a fast game Quigley sometimes stopped short, pointed an accusing finger at an erring player and in a husky roar, bellowed, "You can't do that!" That call which would immediately be echoed by thousands of spectators, sent shudders through the frame of many a cocky cage star, and it has brought pleasant memories of great games on the boards to a generation of sports fans.
When "Quig" took over, he said that what he had in mind was a sports program that would interest "the entire state and attract sports-loving people to the University." His program has been successful, judging from the attention received, not only in football and basketball, but in the so-called minor sports such as, baseball, track, golf and tennis.
When Quigley took over as athletic director for K.U. in August, 1944, he faced two major problems. The first was to build up Kansas' varsity teams, and the second was to pay off the stadium debt of $113,000. He helped legalize the open interviewing of prospective
"Quig's" whistle has been heard in an N.C.A.D. play-off and an N.I.B.A. tournament, both in Kansas City; at the Olympic play-off in Madison Square Garden; and in 19 consecutive A.A.U. tournaments in Kansas City and Denver.
Mr. Quigley had no contract when he assumed his duties as athletic director. "I don't need one," he explained, "I will stay there as long as they want me to."
He is married and has two sons, Ernest and Henry. When he's on vacation, he usually be found relaxing or puttering around on the farm he has somewhere between Lawrence and Topeka.
When he accepted his present position, Mr. Quigley said, "If I could close my athletic career as director of athletics at my alma mater, I ought to feel a lot of pride in being selected to do the job there."
Mr. Lonbong will take over the directorship July 1 with Quigley re-linquishing his present title at that time. Quigley's retirement will not be final until Sept. 1, thus giving him time, at the Chancellor's request, to acquaint the new director with the particulars of his job.
The 51-year-old Lonborg was unanimously recommended by the athletic board and approved by the Board of Regents, Chancellor Malott said.

Mr. Lonbong has been basketball coach at Northwestern since 1927, making his 23-year tenure the longest in the Big Ten conference.
Born in Horton, Kan., one of five brothers, Lonborg attended the University where he became one of the school's outstanding athletes. He was a nine-letterman earning three each in football, baseball, and basketball. Kansas at that time was a member of the Missouri Valley conference and 'Dutch' Lonborg was all-conference choice in both football and basketball. He captained the 1920 basketball team.
He was graduated from the School of Law in 1921 and took his first coaching job at McPherson college, McPherson, Kan., in 1922. From there he went to Washburn university, Topkea, where he coached basketall from 1924 through 1927. He was also director of athletics at Washburn.
In making the announcement Chancellor Malott said, "We at the University are very happy to welcome Mr. Lonborg to this important post. He returns to his alma mater with many years of experience in university athletics, well qualifying him for the task he is to assume.
It was with the 1925 Washburn team that Mr. Lonborg gained national fame as a basketball coach. He took his team to Kansas City to the national A.A.U. tournament and finished champion, defeating the Kansas City Athletic club team.
"He comes to an athletic program firmly established by the retiring director, E. C. Quigley. During Mr. Quigley's tenure, the stadium debt has been liquidated, a scholarship and work program consistent with amateur university athletics has been firmly established, an unexcelled coaching staff throughout the whole range of intercollegiate sports has been procured, and a field house building program is under way.
Mr. Quigley, who at 68 was three years over the retirement age set by the University, has been athletic director at the University for the past six years. Chancellor Malott said that the three years beyond retirement age was the only reason for Quigley's retirement.
In a statement concerning his coming retirement, Mr. Quigley said, "When one comes to the end of the road—there are always a few things yet to be done. I regret that I will not be on the job to accomplish what remains of the unfinished athletic program but I am sure my successor will finish what is undone.
"Lonborg will bring to the University a life of successful coaching, with an experience in administration that has the stamp of success.
