Tigers Haven't a Chance,' Says Van the Animal Man
"Missouri hurt" a chance," says Van, the Animal Man." "Place all your money on Kansas. The Jayhawks have improved steadily and now possess that ability to win by making old days. It will be a Tiger slaughter." Standish Van Mossel, better known as Van, the Animal Man, has been a strong supporter of Kansas teams since 1915. He likes to attend the rallies with his family and is for him to make a fiery peep talk.
Mr. Van Meensel was born in Antwerp, Belgium, coming to America as a young man. He first settled in Hitchcock, New York, where he came to Mt. Oread in 1917 where he became the first and only animal man at the University. Mr. Van Meensel says he thus qualifies for the honor of being the "original animal trainer."
Van is a familiar figure to everyone on the hill; always smiling and happy, he speaks to everyone he meets.
And Vim, the Animal Man, admitting that he is 20 years older than he appears, with his twinkling blue eyes peering through home ruined glasses, laughing and says, "I am bobby ever with confidence in our team, and I be at that game seated right next to the band so I can help chant 'Rock Chalk Jayhawk'
