Silly Old Game
"My back is broken. Who ever heard of coming to a football game three hours before it started.
Sorry.
Why don't you go buy some of those little seats?
Don't want to lose my place.
Well, I'd think it's the least you could do. Please.
O.K. Watch your work.
O. K. O.K. Watch my place.
Well, I told him this seat was saved, but he wouldn't pay any attention to me. And he's so big. And drunk. Anyway, there are plenty of places down at the other end. Honestly, I can't see what difference it makes.
Oh that's O.K. honey. I'd just as soon sit on the 10-yard line as on the 50 any old day. Forget it, forget it.
Well, don't get sarcastic about it. You don't have to pout about it.
What's wrong with the old officials? He caught that ball, didn't he? He did, didn't he?
Yes, honey, but on the bounce. On the bounce. You got to catch a pass before it hits the ground.
Well, I think it's silly. Why don't they try to run around the other team instead of right into the middle of them? Football is such a silly game. No sense. Not at all like tennis.
Oh, so you know more than the coaches, eh?
Why are they giving the ball to Missouri? We didn't drop it, did we? We still have it, don't we? Why are they giving it to Missouri.
If the offensive team fails to gain 10 yards in four tries, possession of the ball is given over to the other team.
That's a silly rule. Who makes up the football rules?
Where are they all going? Are they going to kick the ball again? Who made a goal?
Nobody made a touchdown. It's the half. The bands. The queen.
Oh goody. Which one is the queen? In the first car? Look at that cute boy sitting with her. Oh. In the second car? He's nice looking too. Get me a Coke. Please?
You kiddin'? In this mob? Why, I'd never get back. The boy's sure to be by in a minute.
You said that an hour ago. Please. Get me a Coke.
What happened? (puff) What's all the yelling about? (puff)
Here's your danged Coke. What happened?
Oh there were a couple of goals. I think we made them Everybody yelled. I don't know what the score is. They're standing in front of the numbers on the board. Well I don't see anything to get mad about. You can read the paper tomorrow. They just ran and threw the ball like they always do. Well, don't nout.
I'm not pouting. It's just that I don't like to wait three hours for a game and then miss the climax. I don't like it, that's all.
FUMBLE! WE GOT THE BALL! . . . No gain, no gain.
Give me a cigarette, please.
He's going back to pass—he's trapped—he'll run—no he's going to throw it. . .
A light please.
Well you certainly don't have to throw the matches at me. I didn't want to come to the old game in the first place.
Well I didn't want to come to the old game and sit and listen to you. Now please be quiet. You made me miss the last play. Be quiet.
Well, if you're going to be petty about it I'll just not say another word to you. If the old game means more to you than I do. Why are they giving the ball to Missouri? We didn't drop it did we? Why are they giving the ball to Missouri?
If the offensive team fails to gain 10 yards in four tries . . ."
'Small Things'
A K.U. girl, when questioned about dating, says, "I like a serious conversation over a cup of coffee in the afternoon, but in the evening, I prefer to keep it light." Does she mean light conversation or bourbon?
The cheerleaders always run like mad ahead of the team when it trots out on the field, and have you, too, ever had the insane desire to see one of them trip flat on his face?
Uncle Jess says we men must stick together or we'll all get stuck separately.
We're always reminded of primitive man scolding the onrushing flood waters when we see the cheerleaders trying to stop the boos.
Fog caused Princess Elizabeth to delay a reunion with Philip at Malta on their second wedding anniversary. K.U.'s queen evidently has more influence with the weatherman that does the English royalty.—M.L.R.
"Nothing," says the senior cynic, "looks quite as silly as Homecoming decorations after we've lost."
Where does Bibler get his fiendish thoughts? Surely K.U. students are as wholesome and pure-minded a group as can be found anywhere in the U.S.A.
Doctor Outlines New Treatment
There is no specific treatment of multiple sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system which affects muscle coordination, but the basis of a whole new concept is activity in conjunction with the use of drugs.
This is the opinion of Dr. Leslie Blau, chief of physical medicine and rehabilitation service at Wadsworth Veterans hospital at Leavenworth. He talked to members of the Occupational Therapy club Thursday.
"A re-education of the muscles is necessary along with physical rehabilitation and psychological adjustment," Dr. Blau said. "The occupational therapists must develop a genuine and deep personal relationship with the patient. The patients should be encouraged to occupational therapists who must be cheerful and be good morale builders.
"Occupational therapy teaches the patient skill to replace his previous income by learning a new trade. We must find out the patients interests in order to offer him something to learn."
Bristman Tells Requirements For Specialized Social Work
Paul Brotsman, assistant professor of social work, discussed psychiatric and medical social work with the Social Work club Nov. 17.
Two years of graduate work are required for jobs in psychiatric and medical social work. Such jobs may be found in medical and psychiatric clinics and hospitals, schools, institutions and other organizations.
Problems and challenges to be found in the two job categories were also discussed.
