University Mourns Doctor Naismith
When lovers of sports and sportmanship contributed in 1938 to a fund which paid the expenses of a trip to the Olympics in Berlin for Dr. James Naismith, they rendered tangible tribute to the living man who exemplified the highest idealistic qualities of physical sports.
Basketball was Doctor Naismith's most noted contribution in his field, but his life as a whole represents the achievement of much larger aims. His compensation and enjoyment in that accomplishment came in the later years of his life, for he lived to see a tremendous increase in opportunities for and interest in well-rounded programs of healthful physical recreation for all of the youth to whom he had devoted his life.
Such a reward is not measured in terms of public acclaim or in monetary values. Few men live to see the realization of their life's objectives. Doctor Nulismith was deservedly one of those few.
Post-Game Summary By Half-Back White
Halfback Bill White of The Emporia Gazette has placed his right foot firmly on an editorial football and punted it directly towards Mount Oread and the Kaw river. Since the Kansas team is too close to the goal to attempt a return play, Halfback White gathers up his own challenge to make a broken-run dash down the field, a spectacular play although subject perhaps to off-sides or out of bounds penalties by Kansas University students in the role of referee. Quotations from the editorial follow: Sour Grapes Maybe
"The football game Saturday at Lawrence in which Missouri overwhelmed Kansas, leaving Quantrill all unawarded and Lawrence in tears and ashes, was, despite these minor casualties, a most pleasant and happy occasion. For some reason, the fanatical ardor of K.U. alumni seemed subdued. They didn't expect to win. "
*Homecomers Eat Beans*
"Generally speaking, the food is pretty poor—in the men's fraternities. Tops in fraternity houses are ham sandwiches, coffee, and baked beans, and brick ice cream; baked beans meaning beans that look as though they were out of cans, slithering around in a little goo of watery tomato sauce. The ham sandwiches are just the ham sandwiches of interstate commerce, no better, no worse. But the talk . . ."
Is This Out of Bounds?
"The Kansas strutterress was a very pretty girl who added sparkle and gaiety to an otherwise somber occasion. But the Missouri girl with the Missouri band began turning cart wheels and handsprings and doing aerobatic stunts. The band paused before the press box while the Missouri girl did a split and then leaned backward, kept whirling her baton, until her head touched her heels amid the plaudits of the multitude. Then she stood on her hands and showed all she had, including a pair of handmade legs that indicated no drought in Missouri but no great sculptural art either. She was a portent of what was going to happen to the Kansas team. They were to be overwhelmed by brawn. For she was a bonny, brawny gal, built by the day and not by the job. Surely the contractor stinted nothing, fore or aft, top or bottom, when he poured the concrete on her job. She was commonly acclaimed by all the goggle-eyed academicians of Kansas as a super-heterogene dyne, the angel of victory for the descendants of Quantrell and the James boys." Not Esthetic—Nor Sissy
"Then something happened. It looked as though a Missouri player had deliberately stepped on the hands of a prostrate Kansan. But the Missouriian was moving and it might easily have been an accident—probably was. But the Kansas boy certainly thought it was done deliberately. By that time the referee was looking. As the Kansas boy got up, he gave the Missouriian an unugly kick in the pants where, if the hand-tromping was not accidental, the Missouriian had it coming. . . . He did what the average red blooded young man would do under the circumstances, and proved that football does not polish off his natural human emotions. Football at least hasn't made him an esthetic fanic of him. He was willing to lose the game to plant his toe where it would do the most good . . ."
"So who cared what score. . . . That is what
All Happens For the Best
football should mean. That is what it is coming in to Kansas. And if Quantrell in Lawrence is unavenged and if Jesse James is still riding the Missouri highway, what of it?"
--and "Private." The first two deal with the woman's habits, dress, manners, and a small storeroom of hints that every woman should know—and practice. The third is a 4-chapter resume that falls a little short of being encyclopedic on what the woman should do with the man after, it is presumed, she uses "Lady Lore" to catch him.
Could It Be Thanksgiving?
The Indians started it. The Pilgrims borrowed it. The Colonies continued it. Presidents proclaim it. One President has changed it. It plays a request performance every year with turkey and cranberry sauce as its perennial stage props. Schools are dismissed for it. The University is so dismissed. Vacation starts today! Can you guess what it is?

Ancient Argument Downed by Statistics
Regardless of the small percentage of deaths that occur on the gridiron every year, the ancient argument against football rises again to reflect the highlights of the football season now ending.
Grounds for argument against football are reduced by comparative studies of deaths on the football field with other causes of deaths among male students. Out of every million male students who enroll in American colleges and high schools each year, forty-five die from diphtheria, twenty-one from scarlet fever, twenty-one from malaria, and only five from football accidents.
Each year from thirty to forty deaths result, directly or indirectly, from injuries received while fighting for Alma Mater on the gridiron. Popularity of football is indicated by the estimated number of more than six hundred thousand high school boys who take part in the sport.
More than half of the players who receive fatal injuries each year are in this high school group; others are sandlottters, boys' club members, and college students who play only extracurricularly, not as members of the school team. Only eight deaths have occurred on the college gridiron. Safer fields, improved coaching, and setter uniforms are given credit for lower injuries.
More than a quarter of the football injuries can be avoided. These avoidable injuries are traceable to inferior coaching and rough playing fields. Physical unfitness of the players accounts for a small per cent of the injuries. Yet one commentator points out that it is much more dangerous to drive to the Yale Bowl than it is to play football the entire season.
Rough playing fields are listed as a major cause of accidents. High school boys who will be disabled temporarily during the year number sixty thousand while medical attention will be required by more than one hundred thousand. American parents will spend more than one hundred million dollars for medical services and more than a million days of school work will be lost.
Similar studies probably would reveal statistics for other sports much like those submitted for football and with corresponding suggestions for the reduction of hazards in a particular sport. The reduction of playing hazards with consequent reduction of injuries would do much to still the critics of football.

Just where Bewinner Powers, c'40,
and his co-editor, James W. Patnama
of Emporia, gained their material
would undoubtedly be an interesting
subject of speculation. But whatever
source the book is almost complacent,
it seems to be an honestly
honest as men can be in 61 pages
on such a subject as women.
The book is issued in three parts with headings: "Personal," "Public'
"Lady Lore," the K. U. Winn's recently issued running mate to "Manners Make Men," is a 61-page digest of feminine fobiles that the "modern misz" shouldn't miss. The book is interesting, sometimes quantify, frank. It gives the girls an opportunity to serve it—and it gives them a kick in the teeth when the occasion merits.
'Lady Lore' for Women. About Women----But by Men
Subscription rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $17.5 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas, daily during the school week, June 14 and July 9. Entered as second class month September 14, 2016. Office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Contrary to speculations, the writers of "Lady Lore" didn't gain all their material from the ads. The biological unpleasantness that national advertising made more prominent are reiterated in the book, but we don't deem them than, for example, the girl's behavior in an automobile.
ON THE OFF B-E-A-T
By Roderick Burton
And then there was the freshman who told his Spanish professor that a word was divided into "four cylinders."
Whether or not Roosevelt is going to run for a third term does not worry us; we refuse to think of more than one term at a time.
A note of cheer runs through the day; this morning we read a three-line story saying now that salary differences having been settled, Eddy Lamarz has returned to work. Of course we never go to any of her pictures anyway—it's just the idea that Hedy is willing to slave to grind out pictures we'll never see that cheer us up, football; budding, bach. When it comes to important matters, the world isn't such a bad place after all—pretty Hedy is going back to bat for us-all.
In retrospect: The Phi Delt's were irate about the fires, but they weren't as burned up as they might have been.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29.1939
The committee has announced that there will be no Nobel Prize prize awarded this year. Apparently too much attention was given to themselves by going to war.
The Nazis have banned football in Germany. It wears out shoe leather and besides, Hitler doesn't like kicking in the Reich.

At times the book borders on midwestern puritanism; at other times the authors direct a few marked hints towards the ladies—if such be that—a hygienist of the first water or the last ditch would evade. It's a book about women, for women, and by men. It would do any number of the "frilales" good to read in order to ensure the larger number if they refreshed themselves on what "Lady Lore" contains.
