ROBERTS SENDS HIS EARLY
Footballer Gene Roberts, whose life revolves about a bum knee, has already asked Santa Clause for his Christmas present. Roberts wants some new undamaged cartilage and ligaments for the knee.
Just last week Gene rested his knee in Watkins hospital for a few days preparatory to being examined at Kansas City for the Navy's V-1 reserve.
Roberts was sprinting for the train Saturday to take his physical examination at Kansas City. He slipped, fell, out popped the knee. This didn't stop Gene, though, as he passed the physical in spite of the deficiency. But the sophomore speedster still wants Santa to glue him together permanently.
The dull Pacific Coast league football season must have been tough on the conference's press agent. The p. a. couldn't very well blow about the mediocre grid teams.
ATHLETES 'DEMAND' MORE PAY
So he comes up with the story that Pacific Coast athletes representatives are now "discussing a raise in salary for conference athletes due to the rising cost of living and comparatively high pay of West Coast shipyard and factory workers." Pacific Coast athletes get "62 and one-half cents an hour or $50 a month on campus jobs."
Perhaps the War Labor Board may mediate the athletes' "demands." Then athletic representatives could pass the buck to WLB on "fair wage standards" for PCL athletes.
REBUILD OR LET LAY?
Phog Allen, who sometimes decries the commercial aspects of college athletics, will turn in a fair profit in the Madison Square Garden game against Fordham Dec. 28. "A fair profit" is one phrase that cannot be applied to Kansas football income.
More such "commercialism" might elevate K U to the position where it need not consider discontinuing football on financial grounds (if football can be played in 1943). Then, wags would not even jokingly refer to Kansas as the "Hahvud of the Middlewest."
Football and other sports do not deserve much attention now, but after the war University officials could produce better teams with high pressure methods—schedule bigtime elevens, get alumni support, hire a Steve Hannagan, buy players. There are necessary evils to continuously successful football. Students and University officials after the war will decide which it shall be—constant defeat or moderate victory. Either way, a section of University opinion will be disatisfied with the decision.

IWW Wins Easily In Third Round
In one case downtown four wardens showed initiative when they found a parked car with its headlights and taillights on, its owners apparently having gone to the theater. Deciding upon quick action, each warden stood in front of a light effectively cutting off its glare.
IWW won easily from Co-op 29-10 in the third round of women's intramural basketball games which began last night. ETC forfeited to IND.
(continued from page one) effectiveness was "beyond my fondest expectations."

- A drum, a little red wagon, a picture book . . . these are gifts that bring joy to a boy's heart. But you can give him a far greater gift. You can give him the right to live as a free American . . . the advantages of liberal schooling . . . the freedom to follow his religious beliefs . . . the privilege of choosing his life-work . . . yes, even the unquestioned right to gain a world of knowledge and pleasure through travel.
Today, in the Union Pacific family, thousands of fathers are working tirelessly to justify the steadfast faith of their children. Theirs is the task of assuring the safe transportation of trainloads of war materials and troops. It is a tremendous job but they are doing it gladly. They know, as do we all, that only through hard work and sacrifice can we give our little ones the greatest gift of all . . . peace and freedom.
All this you can give him by doing whatever you can no matter how little—to win this war so that he may live to appreciate fully the true meaning of Christmas . . . peace on earth and good-will toward men.
