Coaches Amazed by Students' Lack of School Spirit
Present Attitude Toward Sports Is Disgrace to University— Cappon
A smashing attack against the lack of school spirit at the University of Kansas has been launched by the university football. In his talks to the squad at recent practices he has made his position clear that he feels something is wrong in the attitude taken by the team, and a whole in regard to athletic activity.
In his office today, Cappone gave figures to prove his contention that the student body is allowing itself to become more aggressive and are trying out regularly for the varsity football squad in a school with an enrollment of men well into the
Should Have 70 Candidates
Shond have 10 Candahanes
"I want to know what is the matter in the Kansas," he said. "Are we in the same class as Washburn and Baker, small schools which have no trouble at all in getting out 50 men? We should have 70 candidates left after the poor ones have been weeded out but we can only get about half that many by begging everyone to try."
There were 86 men out for spring football last spring. There were many more than that eligible for football who stayed out of spring practice in order to play games. According to figures and lists of football players in the athletic offices there are at least 100 experienced players in school who are eligible for
Little Interest Shown
"Why doesn't student opinion force these men out?" the coach asked. "We will get along all right with what we have and will turn out n team, but what about the reflection on the school when it has the smallest number of candidates for football in the valley?" There are 15 men, according to the school, who can see out for practice and who have no excuse for not being there.
Track Men Don't Respond
"Why, when I coached a little school at Decorah, Iowa, I had 60 regular candidates and there were only 40 that I felt qualified." "Here with at least six times that many, there are fewer men fighting for places on the team. Forty-five is the maximum number that have relied on them, only 55 have checked out equipment."
Track Men I need to respond
Aviation to athletes is not con-
dicted. We have football men, ac-
counting to the other coaches. Dr. II,
J. Huff, head coach of track, who is
issued a cross-country call more than
a week ago, and today that only 30
men had responded, "including fresh-
men, ineligibles and cripples." "There
should be at least 300 men out for
cross-country." Doctor Huff declared,
"There are capable of at least trying for this
sport, who are, not physically baited
for football and have no other conflac-
ting activities.
"It is a reflection upon the student body as a whole when such a condition as this exists. We cannot accomplish anything by talking to the men who are out, for they are the ones who don't need the talking to them," she said. "If you are to be left in the University that we may have some interest in sport."
The small number of sport candidates in all lines has been a genuine surprise to the athletic department which has developed a coaching staff capable of training large numbers of athletes just at the time who spirit seemed to be strong, and have the disinterest in athletics, especially football, on the fact that the 1925 fall season was unsatisfactory.
Billy McCarney, one of the men in Dempsey's corner at the Toelo massacre, thinks Tunny will knock the titleholder for a row of tent stakes. Few of the wise birds are picking Tunney but McCarney thinks Jack is growing old and has too many worries. He may be right. We doubt it.
The Boston Braves, a second division team put Chicago out of the race in the National League recently and later they knocked the Cardinals from the top. Now what will they do to Cincinnati?
