UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1943
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
We wonder how Dr. Allen proposal that the nation's intercollegiate athletic teams could be brought under one all-powerful "carr" could be made possible. True, it would be very desirable if college sports could be as well organized as professional sports, as baseball. But it won't be such an easy matter. First, why would the Southern Conference, for example, want to fall in line with other conferences such as the Big Six in outlawing the proselytizing and "hiring" of athletes. These southern schools go in for athletic scholarships in a big way and since their conference permits and in fact promotes it,—well, we can just see them agreeing to a nonprofessionalized player-getting-program like their cousins to the north. Secondly, what would be done with the independent schools such as Notre Dame, Boston College, and Marquette who take orders from no one. To have a harmonious central organization, all c-olleges would nearly have to belong to some conference as do all organized baseball teams belong to some league, whether to the major leagues or to the lowest bush league.
Take Denver University, for instance. Denver is now independent and has broken bonds with the Big Seven, which was formerly the Rocky Mountain Conference. This league, never too strong, did not furnish Denver the competition she desired, especially this year when all but two teams quit football. Well, the two schools left—Utah and Colorado—have boycotted the Pioneers and will not schedule games with them. Neither will the other teams in the conference whenever they again decide to don the shoulder pads. But does that hurt Denver? No, not hardly, for the Denver school
has scheduled with outside schools perhaps the most attractive and interesting schedule she has ever had.
Just let us get too riled up with Oklahoma and we may find the Sooner school a member of the Southwest Conference. This is definitely not an impossibility. Oklahoma this year has four games scheduled with Texas schools and al she is waiting for is an invitation from this conference which is one of the strongest of the country. For years the Big Six has been a weak sister (football speaking) for there has been always the upper three—and the other three. This year with Nebraska's plight, only Oklahoma and Missouri have fielded what resembled first-rate teams, and they have taken embarrassing lickings from outside schools. Should Oklahoma ever be lost, the then "Big Five" would indeed be a sorry sister. The thing for Big Six schools to do instead of harping at everybody else is to get out and get their own players. In normal times enough good players are lost out of the Missouri Valley to southern and western schools to give each Big Six team a championship aggregation. Kansas especially has lost untold numbers of star athletes to out of state schools. Instead, after the war, let's adopt a policy of Kansas players for Kansas U. and let's get out and get them!
