FRIDAY. JANUARY 6.1950
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By NELSON OBER
A vote of thanks is due the athletic board and the athletic department as a whole for its decision to make basketball tickets transferable among students.
This action shows that the students still have some influence in determining policies at the school that they are attending. It is the only logical move that could be required, positioned to the board of 'Why shouldn't a non-interested student give his ticket to an interested one?'
This is the first time in the history of the University that such has been done and the students should appreciate the significance of the move.
They should also heed the warning that the freedom to transfer objects is terminated at any time it appears observes this privilege is being abused."
That means that if and when students begin to give their basketball tickets and activity tickets to non-users the privilege will be revoked.
That is fair enough, isn't it? After all it is just the students who have paid for the privilege of seeing the games and not outsiders. The students who have paid for the games and who want to see the games should be allowed to do so if they know someone who does not wish to go to the games.
When the Jayhawkers tangle with Oklahoma tonight station WREN will tape record the game with Max Falkenstein doing the announcing. The game will be broadcast then at 10:15. WREN comes on at 1250 on your dial for those who want to listen and cannot attend.
A word on the recent action taken by the U.S. naval academy in connection with the resignation of head football coach George Sauer.
Joe Williams writing in the Buffalo (N.Y.) Evening News said in an article on the subject that he believed the "matters having nothing to do with the mechanics of coaching" were involved with the Sauer resignation. Williams suggests that "there must have been personal factors involved in his (Sauer's) dismissal."
In defense of this belief Williams points out that "Navy prefers the graduate system of coaching and Sauer was an outsider." Also he tells of an "inner-circle of Navy society" at Annapolis, called the Green Bowlers. The Green Bowlers virtually run Navy football.
As Williams tells it "A succession of their men functioned as directors of athletics and as head coaches. Some were competent, some weren't. But the power of the fraternal bond was never questioned.
"The society was ordered dissolved following an investigation in Washington and no longer exists as a formalized group, but it is no secret that the break with custom which led to Sauer's appointment was not universally approved."
Such a tale lends considerable light on the Sauer resignation matter. It looks as though George has gotten and is getting the worst end of the deal ever since he left the University. And there are some who will say it is what he deserves. Maybe, who knows?
Hot and cold Marcus Freiberger, 6 foot 11 inch center for the Oklahoma basketball squad, will, if in one of his hot nights, give Jayhawker Clyde Lovellette a battle both offensive and defensively. Freiberger is a junior and will have one season's eligibility left after this year.
