UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
APRIL 16,1946
By BILL SIMS
Jim Reed, Topeka Daily Capital sports editor, has cut loose a high-powered criticism of the football situation here at K.U. It wasn't directed at the coaches or athletic department, but at the students. Here is what he said:
"Sauer is faced with the apathetic interest in football displayed by the student body. With nearly 5,000 students enrolled atop Mt. Oread, only fifty men are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to become good football players.
"During early drills, a number of the husky lads丹ned suits with the thought in mind of practicing football two nights a week, and spending the other five evenings at social engagements. Other promising candidates decide to wait until autumn before reporting on the gridiron.
* *
"That method of practice was entirely new to George Sauer. He did not become an all-American by practicing two nights a week. So, George cracked the discipline whip.
"If anyone can give U. of Kansas a winning football team, it's Ernie Quigley and George Sauer. But one man cannot a mighty nation mold, nor can two a winning grid team unfold. It appears to me that football's destiny down the Kaw is now squarely in the lap of the student body.
"If the students continue their country club attitude, KU, will continue as a Big Six football doormat. My students are willing to forsake litter-bugging and its accessories, and co-operate with the present athletic regime, Kansas can field a football team that won't embarrass the school every Saturday afternoon."
George Sauer faces much the same problem here that his former coach, Dana X. Bible, faced when he went to Texas university. The student body showed the same lackadaisical attitude that is, and has been for several years, prevalent on the K.U. campus.
It took Bible five years to build a winning team at Texas, and my guess is that it will take George Sauer from three to five years to put Kansas on the football map in the Big Six. It is a big problem, and it can't be solved over night.
Jim Reed has pretty well figured out the biggest difficulty with Jayhawkier gridiron teams, but there are a few things he has overlooked.
Other schools, some openly and some behind closed doors, have obtained football players by subsidizing. Kansas has refused to be a party to such actions, and thereby has missed getting some outstanding Kansas athletes. Perhaps this is one reason K.U. has not fared so well on the gridiron.
***
There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Reed has hit at the core of Sauer's biggest problem. But there's more to it than meets the human eye. It is definitely up to the students under the present set-up to see that this "apathetic attitude" situation is remedied.
A coach can't build a winning team unless he has the talent and co-operation of that talent.
