WHAT 1943 BRINGS
Kansas will have a tough problem to face in September if football is played again. From present appearances athletic finances will start from scratch beginning with football. Although no deficit for this athletic year is expected, no funds will exist to finance football in 1943.
Unless the University budget loosens and appropriates greater operating expenses, the number of football games played by KU will be reduced and road games cut.
Jayhawker athletics are supported by:
4. Attendance receipts—activity and season tickets and individual sales
sales.
2. Yearly University budget appropriation.
3. Alumni who finance athletes, carrying part of the load for the Athletic corporation.
Alumni by paying tuition, lending athletes a "college education," and giving athletes jobs account for only a small part of the yearly expenditure for sports.
Athletics at any large school are high finance. A conservative estimate places operational expenses here at $75,000. Football gate receipts, plus student activity book income, plus University budget appropriations, plus travel guarantees, usually provide other universities with a surplus (witness Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma).
But Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma have all had bowl teams and regularly have placed excellent elevens on the gridiron. A team of the caliber of the Jayhawkers does not draw crowds either in Memorial stadium or on the road.
Tire rationing and a poor team kept Jayhawker fans at home during 1942. Largest crowd was 5,000 for the Nebraska game. With gasoline rationing in effect now, attendance—the lifeblood of sports—will be decreased.
University budget appropriations and activity fees cannot carry the whole load under the present system and are not expected to in 1943. No athletic fund surplus exists to support wartime sport at Kansas.
So, you can expect dropping football for the duration or a reduced schedule—probably the latter if enough students return to KU in 1943. BETTER IN JANUARY
Coach Phog Allen's current cagers gave one of their worst exhibitions of basketball in four years in the 40-29 loss to Gardner at Kansas City Saturday. The Jayhawkers hit only three of 38 first half shots and four of approximately 30 in the second half for a total of seven goals in nearly 70 attempts.
Only once before in Dr. Allen's long memory has Kansas been so frigid. Playing against Oklahoma A-M when Ralph Miller, Rob Allen and Howard Engleman were sophomores, the Jayhawk-
ers hit only five of 65 attempts in a 21-17 loss.
The Jayhawkers won't be so inaccurate again in years. Although looking like they needed much more work together, Allen's quintet last night displayed power that should blossom before the Missouri game here January 6. Ray Evans worked at the vital center position last night while John Buescher ran at guard.
Schedule Begins Tomorrow
Intramural basketball makes its 1942-43 bow Wednesday night in four divisions of eight teams each with Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, last year's finalists, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Gamma ranking as pre-season favorites. Several independent and co-op teams, Templin, Hellhounds and Blanks, rank as top contenders in Divisions III-IV.
Court restrictions this season require greater efficiency in playing games, Henry Shenk, intramural director said today. No games will be postponed this year. Also if a team is not ready to play when scheduled the game will be forfeited. If neither team shows up, both forfeit the game.
This year's intramural basketball race should be up to the standards of former years and in some cases better because of the limiting of the number of teams from an organization.
The Phi Gam's, champions for the last three years with Larry McSpadden, Wally-Curt Hinshaw, returning should have another contender this year. The Phi Psi's, with Dick Miler playing, rate as top contenders again.
