UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KEEP COACH MOSSE CHANCELLOR ADVISES
(Continued from page 1.)
was a bolt out of a clear sky in the way of a resolution abolishing football, and we had a mighty hot time in this town over football in the University of Kansas.
Sport itself Endangered
"And I am the only man left in the University that knows the whole of the inside of that matter, and besides me there are many things in them in the inside that know anything like as much as I know about it. They were students then and as fine men as were ever here. Now they are graduates holding honorable positions. They and I know I have to know about that. I have all for the University of Kansas and if it hadn't been for me it would not be here now. Put that down in your notebooks.
Conference Discusses Coaches
Conference
"In 1910 we had to go to this conference in Kansas City. April 19th, 1910, was held the first conference of the Governing Board of the Institutions of the Missouri Valley Conference. At that conference in Kansas City this whole question of where to play the game was settled, and it was settled as it was settled, and settled for good. There also came up, not from this University, but from another, the question of coaches, and a resolution duced that hereafter all institutions in this Missouri Valley Conference the coach should be elected permanently like every other member of the University Faculty, and should hold from the first of the year to the end of the year just like any other member; in other words the old fashioned coaching should be done away with forever."
"And the institution that brought the resolution stated that 'Never in our lives will we have another of these short termed coaches, who come with oaths in their mouths, stay about six weeks, and leave with a large amount of our cash.' They said 'We insist on this being passed,' and it was passed. Therefore we have our present method of dealing with athletics as a permanent situation.
"Now I want to put a few propositions to you. What would you think of any man who attempted to pull another man down to get his place or would attempt to take away the place of another man for his advantage. You wouldn't do it. Neither would I.
Commends Dr. Kennedy
"Evidently this gentleman whose name has been used so freely feels just as we do about it. I have a letter in my pocket which says in substance: 'So long as Arthur holds this position I am not a candidate for He is certainly to be held for a standpoint.' That is what I believe. If there is any standard of honor more commonly held among men, and more to be commended, it is that nobody can pull another man down for his own advantage. Could he ask his friends to do it, and get them to do it, and could he stand by and see them do it? No, indeed he couldn't, because it is agreed that that is not a fair and honorable thing to do.
Movement Defeats Its Own End
*"Now undoubtedly when this gentleman knows.how far this thing has gone he will repudiate these attempts that have been made in his name.
Could he profit by an unfair and dishonorable thing? I believe he would not.
Doubtless he would profit by it even if he should succeed. Then we come right to battle; whenever anything of this kind comes up, it is sure to defeat its very end, to produce division in the University and strife and all the bad things that go with strife.
But let these last two be as they may, let us go back to the first one.
Mosse Would Have To Go
"In order that this might succeed, Mosse has got to be kicked out of the University. No matter if he is a University man himself, our own man; no matter if he has done us good service in the past; no matter if it would ruin his reputation and in fact his business because coaching has come to be his business, he will be kicked out of the University. "Who is going to kick out of the University?" That is the main question at present. I am not, so far as I am concerned, and I believe that I know how the Athletic Board will respond. I have the greatest confidence in the fairness of the Board of Administration who are sitting on this platform.
Hopes to See Mosse Coach
Hopes to see
"Now I hope and believe that the coaching situation will be this next year: the man who is now head coach will be head coach, and nobody will be put in as his assistant except a man who is satisfactory to him, and we will hold him responsible for next year. We will never again, with my consent, and I hope with the consent of the students, we will never again hold any man responsible for winning all games or any particular game. It is unfair, impossible, childish. It is impossible and cannot be done any more. We have got to hold him industrious for good, honest, industrious, thorough work—to do the best he can with the material in his hands, and we or lose we have got to be good sports. One of the players said me just the other day that Mr. Mosse is one of the cleanest and fairest and best sports in the Missouri Valley.
Urges a Fair Deal
"The final conclusion is this, students of the University: I stand squately on a fair deal. He hasn't met a fair deal and he must have one. I take your colors, the red and blue. What do they stand for? They stand first, the red for courage that makes a man unwilling to do a mean thing, that makes a man unwilling to wrong anyone intentionally. Second, the blue that stands for honor and integrity and high and honorable living. And I take your standard and I put it on—honor, justice, and fair-dealing—and there by the mercy of God and the good sense of this student body, it is going to stay."
Following the applause at the conclusion, the Chancellor added: "I felt sure that I would have your approval. I never saw a proposition that affected honor put before the students of this University that they did not respond. I hope they believe in you and I shall not be misunderstood) that we must have our athletics safe from outside influence and interference.
K. U. Must Control Its Athletics
"We have got to have our athletics ourselves, the students and faculty of the University. We want the friendship and good will and support of everybody out side of the control must but the influence we have control must with us, and we don't want the influence and control of men who gamble and go with us in order that they may drink and debauch.
"We want to have our athletics separated so that we may control them ourselves. I believe, students of the University, that they have just won games, a bigger game than the Missouri game, and an kind of nervous and exhausted, and I don't believe I can study any more today. Therefore you will have no more classes on this tenth day of December, 1913."
