Besides Coaching The Jayhawkers Engleman Still Makes 'A's' In Law
Filling the shoes of one of the greatest basketball coaches in the country is really no more trouble than taking a law quiz—for Howard Engleman.
mg for years—planning his free time to run an hour or minute. And, he says, it has paid off.
Forced to conform to a rugged schedule of practice sessions, team conferences, and office work while carrying 16 hours of law, Engleman has solved his study problems by doing what the professors have been advising for years-planning his free time down to the last minute. And, they could also
"I find I'm doing better in my studies than before I took the job," he says, "and I think it's because I'm forced to concentrate when I do get a chance to read a textbook."
His grades last semester—14 hours of A and two hours of B.
Easketball work takes him about four hours a day, except for game days. That includes an hour for answering letters from coaches and fans and another hour spent in planning strategy or talking to players.
"That leaves no time for cokes or
for a married man," he explained.
He spends every week night studying in his Sunnyside apartment, where he lives with his wife and small son.
Engleman admits that now and then he finds himself doodling basketball plays on lecture notes, and that while the rest of the class is discussing the case of Doe vs. Roe in a court in Georgia he is thinking about the case of Black vs. Tucker on a court in Norman.
"It's a funny thing," he added. "I think about basketball in law class but I never think about law at a basketball game."
When he first stepped in as varsity coach, from the Oklahoma game, Engleman said it was just like pull-up average spectator out of the stands.
"I hadn't worked with the varsity for weeks," he said, "and had no idea what they were doing... A two-hour talk with Phog on the day of the game was all the briefing I had." Since then he's built the team around a slightly different system, with increasingly gratifying results. That success has been due to two major factors.
First, Engleman is no slouch on the basketball court. In his undergraduate days he was twice named All-American. He developed an underhand shot all his own, and on many a grade school court a youngster has imitated it, screeching, "watch me, I'm Howard Engleman!"
Second, Engleman is not long out of playing togs, and he understands just what an athlete thinks about his performance. knowledge is the basis of his strategy.
Recognizing that his top talent is just about half veteran and half novice, with no in-betweens, and that by the nature of top-flight athletes the two elements shouldn't fit well together without some manipulation, Engleman set up two separate teams, substituting as a unit.
That system proved to the subs that

they could play real basketball, and now Engleman has reached the point where he can shuffle his talent at will. It was such a double-barreled attack that toppled De Paul and Oklahoma A. & M. recently.
Under pressure, Engleman hasn't cased up on his academic load. He'll carry a full course until he departs in February, 1948, to practice law.
He's merely using time that most students fritter away, to do a real man-sized job.

HOWARD ENGLEMAN
Undaunted by the snow and cold, the K.U. tennis team wants to play tennis and they have ask to have their courts down at the stadium swept off in order that they may do so.
Fur Lined Shorts
Saturday and Sunday the team will play matches to determine the positions that the various members will occupy and Coach Gordon Sabine has requested that the courts be swept off to allow the men as much time on the court before the matches as possible.
The K.U. track team doesn't have the "Pneumonia Downs" training quarters to contend with that Oklahoma team complains of, but neither do they have the warm comfort of a field house that the Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa State teams enjoy.
Track Team Hurt By Cold Quarters
"We aren't bothered by the wind and cold that Oklahoma has," Coach Raymond Kanehl said, "But when the stadium is wet or covered with snow, or when the humidity is just right, it gets pretty damp and uncomfortable down here."
The Kansas team is bothered more by the cramped space under the stadium than they are by the weather. The men can't get the very necessary training of running against competition. This fact was well illustrated in the Missouri and Nebraska indoor meets, where most of the races were so close that it was thought that practice alone may have made the difference between winning and losing.
Rehabilitation Official Explains His Work
Norman Evans, acting supervisor of the division of vocational rehabilitation of Kansas, explained the work of his division to the Physical Therapy club Monday night.
He told them that the division aids physically disabled persons to gain paying work by taking medical ex- treament, treatment, and vocational training.
Next meeting of the club will be a St. Patrick's day party on March 17.
