The Band Inspires
The band at an educational institution is seldom rated as highly as it should be, for the athletic teams usually get the credit for being the true representatives of their colleges and high schools. Yet last Thursday at the Missouri-Kansas football game we were impressed with the "last ditch" stand made by the K. U. band when its team was fighting to protect its goal line. Missouri had the ball on the Kansas one-yard line and the crowd of 14,000 people, including the writer, was praying for a touchdown. No one even the most ardent Kansas supporter, believed the Missouri team could be stopped. As the teams lined up for the final down the frzenized stadium quieted for the play and in that instant the K. U. band began playing the Kansas anthem. Maybe it was meant for a requiem of Kansas hopes, but we imagine those musicians were attempting to instill a super-strength into their football team. At any rate the球 lacked six inches of crossing the goal line and went back to the Jayhawk team. It is true, we are glad to say, that Missouri went on and won the game by a large score, but we like to think the K. U. band protected its goal line just as surely as did those eleven players who were on the field.

It is an ideal winter day. Not a breeze is stirring and the temperature is in the fortes. Two birds are playing outside my window. The sun is even trying to come through the thin clouds.
But, if I were as prone to overstate as thee. Mr. Allen, I would undoubtedly say that a furious blizzard is raging outside that snow, rain, buil, and sheet are frozen. If we ever go even so far, say that it is in the forties below.
It's time for you to go hilkencize for the remainder of the winter. "Phone" As for "bitbath Galadass," if you don't have a phone, go there one yesterday, you should spend more time in the hotbath, for each time you open you M. B.
Editor Daily Kansan:
"Phog," Allen brought that well known skeleton—the K.U. football team—out of the closet and dumped it on the doorstep of the Kanan Board. We don't blame him for not burying it himself; they still "stink."
Indeed, a postman could not deliver his mail if he stopped to kick every barking dog—and a barking dog never bites; he merely omits a black, but fough, cloud of ignorance. Hence, we suggest that "Flog"
Throughout the football season "Phoq" has advanced various rationalizations for the failure of KU's defense to win games. He gave us the now famous "School Spirit" theory. But now, with the proficiency of Mrs. Dijnee, he gives us the "Kansan Board" theory. The put of the late is a demonstration of his commitment. He has been used to refrain and insidious ends. Why the "Kansan" even hinted that KU might not be Tampa Bay. Why the "Kansan" had no confidence in The Thunder that the Kansan Board is responsible for the miserable showing of KU's football team is an image as he would have us believe the Kansan Board

Editor Daily Kansan:
"Phog Allen's statement in yesterday's Kansas directed to the Kansas Board, came far from being a slam at just those few people. Apparently it was specifically in the light as the Kansas Board. We've been hit, but we fail to be hurt in our one ambition that worthy of our wholesale support. The worthy of our wholesale support. "Phog" is merely throwing his insults remarks into mid air as far as possible, stupid, unintelligible playing of our late football team cannot be changed so quickly, nor can we be able to play a high sounding a game of a good basketball team. M. M.
Dear Mr. Allen:
You never know when to stop, do your best. Concerned about the Kansan you no longer fear the Kansan. Well, ignorance is a serious risk.
You know as well as everyone else knows that the football team was a bust. The Kansas was not alone in that opinion. Can you excuse a dozen or so news papers for their coverage of this embarrassing or discouraging the football team—your oratorical masterpiece at the half of the Missouri game wasn't bristling with the good ole "do or die" spirit.
The students sincerely hope your basketball team will help them succeed. You can help in many ways. Whether you know it or not the team is a strong force for you to support.
Yours for better bathtubs. B. Fair
It is my frank opinion that Dr. Allen led with his chin, as it were, when he submitted the statement to which you appeared on the front page of yesterday's Kanan. He ruined what could have been one of the best articles submitted to the Kangan since the beginning of your campaign to better exalt football
Editor Daily Kansan:
His criticism of the Kansan in its method of attack in getting to the bottom of the thing was warranted I believe for it is my experience that many students do not understand the Kansan's actual motive in the thing. This is because it has not been presented to them in a concrete form.
On the other hand I thought his statement somewhat contradictory to some of his previous statements. He said that he would forgo the forum he made a statement to the effect that he has certain rules set down for him by which he must disobey them.
These rules are such that they put athletes at a great disadvantage. Also, according to Dr. Allen, as long as these rules are in existence they are going to be observed at all times. The rules would be much easier to meet the demands of the student body for a more successful football team. Dr. Allen has admitted that he will not be for deserving students would be a great advantage both to the player and to the school. And yet he sends such a fiery statement to the Kansan that he has had with the Kansan understand the motive of its editors.
universities.
He contributes the failure of football to the Kansan's editorial policies and yet invites the same criticism to be leveled upon his basketball team. He is putting his boys on the spot, which is a clever bit of psychology. But he could still this same concern over the one band and stimulate quite the controversy on the other? D. M.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Newspapers have been blamed for many things but I dare say that this is the first time one has been blamed for losing football games. Criticism of the department didn't allow the freshman to overcome it by beating the varsity.
Furthermore you wouldn't kill John Doe by shooting his father—especially when Johnny is a nugget young.

"Phog" is throwing it again. But this time, it seems his aim is a little bad. What our famous athletic mentor seems to need is a course in elementary logic and how to tell when the tears flowing down his hips to "hop on us with both feet," and that if the Kansan does, "we will answer them with a cooking good team." If you had you given the Kansan that another team would not "phog," there would have been no "honoring." K. E G.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editor Daily Kansan;
New PhoG, just because our football season was a leasy affair, it looks a trivial off-colour for a more serious game. And the team's failure directly to the outspoken remarks of the Kansan, even though its remarks regarding the coaching staff were so bad that in the-dumps talk between halves at the Missouri game, yet the Kansan didn't lay the teams' downwell
Your outburst yesterday morning, in which you said that the Kansan's remarks cannot affect the success of our basketball team are the most important thing we will apply to our football team. It's very admirable for you to boost your consistently good basket tossers, but we can get along very well with them. The Mia Ginnie game you predicted KU's loss and attributed it to lack of material. Looks like you're contradicting yourself, Phog. M. W. P.
Editor Daily Kansan:
"Phog" Allen's statement in yesterday's Kanan sounds like so many words, the end of the foot-steps of his father, but a statement about the failure of the team and what he expected for the next year. But what he said was that he had to prove himself.
The Kansan hasn't overstepped any bounds in the minds of the body student. The only way to get any reforms in the existing conditions is by arousing public opinion. K.U. has gone long enough with a policy that encourages students not intention of carrying on an unmerited campaign and we hope will not do so in the future. H. K.
Editor Daily Kansan:
a good thing that the Kansan doesn't kick at the barking dogs. The students are sick and tired of hearing all the petty squabbling between the paper and the students. An ambitious athletic Director has other ambitions than that of coaching the basketball team. He now has to open an argument that we thought was closed a month or so ago. Why can't people ever learn it? It is not like they had to their own professions while they still have one? B. W.
Editor Daily Kansan:

I may be not prophet or seer but in one fell strike and precuous few words I can tell you how to fix it.
Everybody on the hill was gratified to learn yesterday morning, from no less eminent an authority than Our Director himself, that the University Daily Kansas board cannot do more harm to the Kansas
Stop intercollegiate athletic activities entirely. Put all the stress and money on intramural gymnastics. Don't play basketball or volleyball, because it cisee and not just the 11 overdeveloped muscle men on the football field. I don't know what to do with the basketball team.
Good basketball may balance the athletic scores here somehow. You'll notice that, because you are students, that the football games, which weren't worth walking across the campus to play, aren't as much a concern as case encounters, which promise to be good, should be.
Yours for the masses instead of the asses. K.E.P.
And undoubtedly everybody is happy to know that the word 'not' is a coaking team, he promises, when the team returns. "It's not bad," he said.
But there is no doubling the fact that the Kanaan organization in the University football situation that organizes the team is not doubling.
Dr. Allen's statement yesterday contains more truth than the facetious tone of it would indicate. Perhansa he did overdo himself in exaggeration and drew much of the meaning that he intended to point out.
Also the method that the University football contests were written could hardly be called legitimate. The rules are actually much simpler. Kansas can once again return in its orthodox attempt to become a newspaper. R. W. D.
If football is the forgotten sport at Kansas, why not make some allowance on the activity, Pho? *Pho?*
Editor Daily Kansan:
maybe we're going to have a "corking" basketball team this year—something you of the Kanan cann't attack, but did you look at the schedule? He's picked some very easy colleges to play . . .
If you think this is beside the point, look at the manner in which Phog dragged it in. Coronet
Editor Daily Kansan:
His tactics are obvious. If he can get the students to put their minds on basketball and then come out with a winning team, teamwork will be rosey. He's definitely killed interest in a serious football situation.
"Phog" Allen is doing a good job of trying to confuse the issue with his best latest statement. He invites the audience to consider the viewpoint.
His remarks were, to say the least, unjust. Last
year after the basketball season, the Kansas printed editorials highly commending Mr. Allen and his team. There was no grief because we did not make the Olympics but only praise for the battles we did
Babbitt Lilly Kahlan:
Well, “Poll,” by two papers where you are leading the charge on your nose again. That, my dear “I Duses,” or should I say “Der Further,” has a very distinctive aroma about it.
Editor Daily Kansan
Let's keep the issues straight.
When you couldn't be the whole cheese on the Olympic basketball scout, you let out a tterrific blast, but not tired you would. "You should not have Allen. You are not the whole cheese, not even on this campus." When the Karsan team wouldn't print anything masty about you and you wouldn't print anything masty about you and you wouldn't print anything masty about you and back in your place—well, that was until篮球 started, and then you came out leading with your soaps, and
So you would rather have one champion football team than five champion basketball teams. That isn't what the records say. Since your coming here is many old years ago, it has just been the opposite. The records show numerous basketball teams. You have to use a magnifying glass to find a football team with that record.
championship.
In chasing, I will give you credit as a basketball player. You certainly are a liability around here otherwise. With my best regards to a "corking" basketball team.
H. W. L.
Editor Daily Kansas:
"Pho" is right. The Kansan can do no more harm to the football team. The team is safe from harm, and White said something will "Allen White had something when he suggested that the football players should be examined for possible concussions."
Now that the football season is over, "Pho" feels safe in passing the buck to the Kansan. He says it can do no more harm. Personally I hope the Kansan has just started in its campaign and will not come until the football situation is improved, even though it hasn't been F. C. Allen and every member of the coaching staff.
Be careful, "Phog," the dog might bite... it might even chase the postman off his mail route. E. P.
