THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TIGER RUNNER RAPPED BY K. C. SPORT WRITER
C. E. McBride, of the Star Speaks Out Regarding Saville's "Antics"
That any complaint comes from the Jayhawk camp reporting the conduct of the mile run in the Kansas-Missouri track meet in Kansas City Friday cannot be put in the "sour grape" class is indicated by the following comment by C. E. McBride, sport editor of the Kansas City Star
"The worst I've ever seen in a track meet," said John C. Grover, starter of the Missouri-Kansas dual meet in Convention hall Friday night, speaking of the antics of Saville (No. 6) in the one-mile race.
"It looked as though Savile had a grudge in his heart and was in there to take it out," said Dr. J. A. Reilly. "He might have been sent in to jockey the bit, but I annot believe that the Missoir coach would send him in to pull the sort of stuff he did. Had Saville made it easier, he'd assisted him on the final lap, Brassfield would have been disqualified, but the inspectors said that he did not."
Saville started his foul tactics by bockeying in front of a Kansas runner when that runner tried to pass the Missouri, Later the Kansan tried to pass on the other side, but Saville with head turned to watch his opponent, jumped over in front of the Jayhawker.
When the Kansan finally managed to pull along saville The Tiron miler gave him an elbow and distressed. He was a crude sample of rough work.
But the worst was yet to come. With Wilson in front of him Savile leaped at him as though to burn his spine in flames. He shouted spiking him on the heel. By that the officials were running to yank him off the truck and Saville, probably conscious of the furore his work was creating, voluntarily left.
Some spectators took this to mean that he had been sent in to do his worst to the Kansas runners and then quit. However, we give Bob Simpson, a former Boston teammate, a grade of sportsmanship than that. In other words, we don't believe it.
But Saville didn't subside when he left the truck. Instead he paced Brassfield, the Tiger winning, for almost half a ham, running by the aid of the truck but off the truck. Officials finally got to him and yanked him off the job.
The probability is, and this is the judgment of the officials as well as the writer, that Saville's tactics made no difference in the ultimate result of the race, although this merely is a matter of judgment. In a case where Coach, probably has a different view, and not without some justice in his argument.
Saville's action not only brought disguise to himself, but it shames his school and casts a shadow of doubt over the otherwise clean cut and unexpected victory of Brasfield in an event the donors awarded to Kanana.
A member of the Missouri truck team said in defense of Saville that when the Tiger runner was fouled by Patterson he lost his head and resorted to stuff that holds no place in Missouri sport. Seven years ago after a crash on a road, the duel meet is said to have been fouled by a Kansas. When Patterson fouled
Saville Friday night, so the explanation goes, the boy remembered his brother's experience and "went wild."
Savile's conduct carries no mitigating circumstances, as we see it. True enough, he was elbowed by Patterson, but not until he had jocked to both knees. "He should have been jeerked off the running board and then and there."
That Missouri alumni disapproved of the Saville tactics was plain to all who heard opinions expressed after the meet.
One Missouri alphomn, twice a Tiger captain, said to the writer:
"You have said many nice things about Missouri sportmanship. I remember comment about the Tiger football team last fall and Boyen Owen's expressions regarding the Missouri crowd. Now is the time to say some good stuff," he said, stuff we saw in that race has no place in Missouri athletics."
Another Missouri alumnus former athlete and assistant coach, expressed his regret over the race. “There is no excuse for such conduct.” he said, crying Missouri is sorry and probably the boy himself is the sorter of all.”
BONNER WOULD BAR SAVILL
Former N. Y. U. Athlete in K C. Kansan Raps Missouri Miler
"Girl" Bonner, former New York University track and football man on the staff of the Kansas City Kanan, has the following to say regarding the Savile incident in the K. U.—Missouri meet.
The tactics used by Saville of Missouri in the mile run have no place in the annals of college sports and for the sake of keeping college sports 100 per cent pure, sport for sport's sake, and avowinguckerism and bias. They also prize ring, Coach Simpson would do well to debe Saville from all further Missouri truck meets for at least a year. Army discipline can be applied to sports as well as other matters and after dragging the fair name of Missouri in the dust by unendlessly maneuvering the representative of a University, he should be made to suffer the consequences.
"Having been a half-miler myself I have no doubt that the contant jabbing from Saville's elbows affected the work of the Kansas runners and his actions in pacing his teammate at the finish were what one might term in modern phrasiology, 'an unparadonable sin', reflecting discredit on the athletic morals of the university world in general."

MUDDY FIELD CAUSE OF INDOOR PRACTICE
Picking of Infield Is Practically Finished, Attention Goes to Outfield
Since the rain has made the field too heavy for work, practice was held in the gym Monday afternoon. Battery engaged in a bunting team to engage in a bunting team.
with the troubles in picking an infield practically settled, Coach Lindsey will turn more of his attention to the outfield in which Fray, Gray, Cooper, and Murphy are shining up, well. Captain Murphy at short-stop, 'Nate' Iseenberger, at third, John Wenzel to take on at second, and Blumberg, at first, promise to make the strongest infields that has represented Kansas on the diamond in many seasons, Ponderaget, for instance, and篮bids for infeld positions. "For utility," said Coach Lindsey, "Lashey is the best bet because, he is not only hitting well, but he can play any position, either on the infeld or outfield, and can play it well. Lashey is one of the most conscientious workers on the court."
After bunting practice a "chalk-talk" or "skull practice" was held.
