Sir: I wish to say a word concerning athletic matters, particularly some recent misinformed criticism directed mainly against the faculty members and general manager of the athletic board. So much of this criticism rests on such a slight basis in fact that it seems to the writer that the time has come for a reply which should give some idea of the way the Board meets and solves its problems.
THE OTHER SIDE.

A Well-Shod Man Can Laugh at the Weather
Members of the Athletic Board Refute Some Charges.
The Board in the conduct of its business is not the arbitrary and irrational being that some of our university correspondents for outside newspapers make it out to be. In a local paper, issued Thursday afternoon last, there appears in the university correspondence under the caption, "Texas Turned Down," the following statements: "The athletic Board had an offer of a game to be played with the University of Texas, November 25. The offer was refused just as was the offer from Northwestern." The university correspondent of a Kansas City paper in Thursday's issue has this to say: "The athletic management of the University of Kansas turned down today an offer from the University of Texas for a game November 25. Kansas has the Manhattan school scheduled on that date, and, although there has been doubt as to whether the Manhattan men would play according to contract, which bars freshmen, the management refused to consider the proposition."

It is the intention of these statements to create the impression that the Board and manager are arbitrary and whimsical. Had the correspondents taken the trouble to investigate they could have learned that the management had not acted without a show of reason. Northwestern asked Kansas for a game in Chicago on November 11, the day of our game with Washburn—a game we are under contract to play for a consideration of $500.00. The offer was declined because it would have been dishonorable to break the contract with Washburn and such action would have subjected us to a suit for damages.
The offer from Texas came in this way. At the beginning of the football season, strong protest against the freshman rule from the Kansas colleges playunder the Topeka conference rules, led our manager to fear that games with the University would be cancelled. Accordingly he began to look for games which might be used if needed to complete a broken schedule. The correspondence with Texas elicited an offer for a game at Austin on November 25, the date of our game with the State Agricultural College. This was declined because of the contract with K. S. A. C. The management does not believe in arbitrarily repudiating written obligations. Besides this, a game at Austin on the Saturday before the Thanksgiving game was out of the question.
Another impression the correspondents delight to foster is that the Board is hopelessly against improvement in the schedule by making games with colleges of the Big Nine and with Nebraska. Not a year has passed of late without an attempt being made to secure games with some of the members of the Big Nine. Two years ago the general manager was sent personally to solicit games. The present manager has said repeatedly that he would try to arrange for one or more such games. But it is one thing to ask for and quite a different thing to get a game. Kansas usually is politely but firmly refused, then again it is evaded, and at other times the terms suggested are out of the question.
The question of scheduling games brings up another phase of athletics that is frequently overlooked—the financial side. It is easy for the outside critic to schedule games in his mind with Big Nine colleges at Kansas City. But the manager has to schedule them on paper in the form of a binding contract. The terms usually submitted for a Kansas City game require a large guarantee. Under such
