When Leslie Edmonds, well-known sportwriter and athletic editor of The New York Times, will define student opinion on Mount Oread as being in favor of the Thanksgiving date, the news force of the Kansas set about to discover the top student opinions by interviewing a representative group of student leaders.

Kaman, adds the opinion that the commercial side of the game detracts from Kanye's Thanksgiving. J. M. Kellogg, head of the retail department, also seems to have the spirit of the season in mind when he comes up with the idea of a game on Thanksgiving day so that all the drunks in Kansas City can come over here and have a glorious experience.
"To have the game on Thanksgiving day breaks into the holidays and makes them seem much shorter," says a professor at the mechanical engineering department.
Edmond's belief that the Thanksgiving date would insure a larger share of students is substantiated by both Arthur Lawrence and Lee Page, hailffacks. "More people are free on a holiday" said Lee Page, who has worked in crowds. And as for myself, I don't even feel like I have taken part in football unless I play on Thanksgivik.
Jim Bussel, fullback, opposed the idea of changing the date. "I want to be at that home that day," declared Bussel. He also worked around with the folks, with food it front of me, and my muscles all he would change in the schedul suit it new."
Jack Schoppin, tackles, emphasized the conflict in the Big Six schedule. He said, "As the schedule now stands, I play over at Manhattan on the same day that we play Missouri here. There ought to be a shift some time."
"If we played on Thanksgiving," said Roland Logan, "there'd be an extra four-day pause in our eight-game schedule. Now we play four games every week and more in November. Put the game up to Thanksgiving and we have an extra break of several days. It would be great for us to prepare for the Missouri game."
