Buehler Picks New Debate Squadmen
Tryouts were held for both the freshman debate squad and the varsity squad last Tuesday in Green hall. The judges were Prof. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, and the members of the varsity debate team. The following members were chosen: Freshmen: Eugene Shepard, Wallace Grimes, Julia Cased, Jack Hines, Elizabeth Baker, Bill Conboy, and Larry Miller.
Added to the varsity squad were: Sterling Hess, Carl Bell, Bill Scott, and Bob Isaac. Because of their interest in debate and the quality of their work last year the following were also added to the varsity group: Richard Royer, Bob Hutchinson, Laird Campbell, and Edward Tihen.
The former members of the debate squad are Jim Gillie, Verlyn Norris, John Waggoner, Merrill Peterson, Jack Dunigan, Arthur Nelson, Bob Plumb, and John Skurlock. John Adams, a graduate of Bethany College at Lindsborg, will be added to the squad because of his record as the winner for Kansas in the extemporary discussion on Latin American affairs. He will be eligible for competition as a graduate student for one year only.

(continued from page four) hind the decline of football at the University of Kansas appears to trace back to the president of the school. It seems, he is a Harvard man who wants to make Kansas the Harvard of the middlewest. As far as football is concerned, he has succeeded." In his column, "The Sports Tide," Hall then asserted that in a great many cases the faculty heads of schools are more responsible for the caliber of teams than are the coaches.
"Charge Is Untrue"
Said Malott of the assertion: "I don't know about other schools, but the charge is certainly untrue of this University. My only connection with athletics at this University is the power of appointment of the coach and athletic director. Our present athletic setup in football had received a five year contract before I arrived here four years ago and is still functioning with one year of the contract to go. I have had absolutely nothing to do with the football setup here." "After all," said the Chancellor, "this sports writer can hardly expect me to coach the team. Such interference falls entirely outside my duties."
"It seems to me that Mr. Hall has not even got his facts straight," Chancellor Malott pointed out. "If I remember correctly, Harvard has turned out some good teams in recent years."
Three Reasons
"The only answer to the athletic scholarship question which is needed is a glance at the Big Six conference rules which very plainly forbid such a practice," declared the Chancellor.
Hall in his column gave three reasons for the lack of adequate material at the University: (1) no athletic scholarships are offered; (2) no jobs that will enable men to work their way through school, and still devote time to football and other athletics; and (3) only a one-meal-a-day training table, and that only during the football season.
Chancellor Malott pointed out that any person on the campus could see sufficient proof of the falacy of Halls second point. "All around you, you can see football men working at good jobs," he stated.
Another Big Six conference rule covers the third point, Malott declared.
Rivals Do Better
Continued Hall: "Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tulsa, and other schools which compete with Kansas for athletes do much better than that—some of them a lot better. Result: Kansas does not get the material."
"I do not know whether other Big Six schools are guilty of Mr. Hall's charges, and I do not care," replied the Chancellor. "That is none of our business. That is the business of the conference authorities. Suffice it to say, Kansas does obey the rules and will continue to do so."
Said the Ft. Worth sports writer: "Failure of Kansas teams in recent seasons has dried up if not soured student body enthusiasm for football. That has led to a lack of spirit on the team."
The Chancellor stated that he thought such charges could best be

Hall suggested the de-emphasization of the schedule as a remedy for the situation. "It is unfair to the courageous boys to pit them against overwhelming odds."
Malott, however, pointed out that under such conditions it might be difficult to obtain a complete schedule.
Praised Ray Evans
Hall is the same sports writer who covered the TCU-Jayhawk game at Ft. Worth for the Star-Telegram, and described Ray Evans, Jayhawk ace, as the pest passer to perform at Ft. Worth since the Horned Frogs' Slingin' Sammy Baugh."
Malott, the ninth Chancellor of the University, is a graduate of this university with the class of 1921, having majored in journalism. However, he
received his MBA degree from the Harvard School of Business Administration in 1923, and has served on the faculty of Harvard University before coming here as the Chancellor in the fall of 1939. He succeeded E. H. Lindley, who resigned in December of 1938.
Want Top Team
In November of 1939 the Chancellor in addressing the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, was quoted as saying: "I hope we never have a nationally famous, winning football team." However, he added, "I do hope, however, that we have a team which can occasionally top the list."
At that time Malebt expressed his belief that athletics have both their advantages and their disadvantages, but that the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages.
