The love for fair play and a square deal which the student body displayed at this morning's meeting in chapel makes Wednesday, December 10, 1913, a day worthy to be long remembered as "Fair Play Day" in the history of the University of Kansas. SEE WHO'S HERE! That the student body should so heartily endorse Chancellor Strong's stand on the coaching situation is the only thing to be expected. Give true Kansans the facts, and their demand for fair play is inevitable. Why cannot the University back up its basket-ball team with the same Thundering Thousand enthucasm that marks the fall rallies? SHOWS CONSCIENCE AT WORK Publication of the basket-ball schedule brings to mind the fact that there are other games than all-absorbing football. Unless such reminder is given, we are liable to think that athletics ceases with the close of the football season. But as a matter of fact, the winter sports need no apologist; there is no better indoor sport than basket-ball. Someone, in a communication to the Daily Kansan, commenting on the conduct of Kansas students on the way to and from the Columbia game, asks the question, "Have K. U. students a sense of honor?" They have. The conduct of those who "beat" their way should not be taken as expressive of the character of the whole student body. The very fact that the student body has knowledge of such actions and will not condone them is sufficient proof of disapproval. Kansas has a conscience rarely found in a school of its size. Students of other universities have beaten their way to football games from time immemorial; but their Alma Mater considered it their own affair if they wanted so to conduct themselves. But the intimation that Kansas students would do such a thing arouses a general protest. If the University is criticized for the conduct of a few of its individual members it should also be congratulated on having an active conscience which condemns many things usually condoned. ROOM FOR ANOTHER "K"" One of the debating societies will discuss sometime soon the subject of giving "K*" to University representatives in inter-collegiate debates. This matter deserves thorough and sympathetic consideration by students and faculty. Why should there be rewards and premiums for physical attainments alone? If this University stands for the highest possible development of the mental faculties, as high a premium should be put upon mental efficiency as upon any other. The man who works on the University debating team exercises two of his noblest faculties—thought and speech. Why not recognize him? The general prizes most the fortress which took the longer time. Gargantu AN UNPREJUDICED VIEW AN UNPREMIUM JUDICIAL Looking at the Kansas football stadium, you see a pointed point of view, one would think that Head Coach Mosse should have a chance at coaching the Jayhawkers after his own fashion. Mosse has had the team two years, it is said, and hasn't turned out a winner. He still isn't sure if the other man have his fling. And the man most named at present is Bert Kennedy, the head coach for seven years. Yet there were many who gave Mosse all the credit when Kennedy was coaching, but they said, "Mosse does the work, Kennedy gets the credit." No doubt you've heard that yourself. But has Mosse had a fair chance as head coach? He took the job in 1912, and Frank was named as his assistant. With Frank came the Minnesota shift, fresh from its Minnesota home. Frank urged Mosse to use the play. Mosse agreed. Yale had found the play worth while. Why shouldn't Kansas? But the season was not a success as a whole. Drake, Nebraska, and Oklahoma beat the Jayhawkers. The shift wasn't creating great havoc. Still the team learned the play, and with two fast fields played well against Nebraska and Missouri, beating the Tigers. But a final victory, using the shift as a vehicle to glory, was not pleasing to the head coach. Mosse is said to have reached the conclusion that the shift was not suited to the needs of the Kansas team. He determined to get rid of Frank and hire an assistant of his own selection. But he didn't get by. Perhaps his rather forward manner of bringing about the retirement of Frank was not diplomatic. Anyway, the student body rose en masse, as one might say, and shouted for the renewal of Frank's contract. They gave Frank credit for the team's fine showing against Nebraska and the victory against that Missouri offense probably lost four other games. So it was that this time, a year ago, also was petition time at Lawrence, with the result that Frank was retained. The student clamor showed Mosse that Frank was wanted, and that the Minnesota shift was popular; no, he tried to get rid of Frank, but the school wouldn't have it. Should he, then, defy the cry of the students; relegate the shift to the discard and Frank to the same heap, and rule the roost as he wished? That would have been bucking the student body pretty well. Frank was pennant winner; it would have been wise. Who of you, in Mosses's shoes this fall, would have dared? Instead, he worked harmoniously with Frank, using the shift, as the school demanded. Further handicapped by the loss of Burnham, a great tackle; Bramwell, a fine center, and Groft, an experienced linesman, Mosse, as head coach and the man responsible, providing the team went bad, had a tough job. When the Kansas University spoke of his skills, they would have this season, they counted on Burnham, Bramwell, and Groft. But these players were not there. Perhaps you think their loss made no difference. And so looking thus hastily over the situation, doesn't it seem that Mosse should have another crack at the team with the right to name his own assistant and to coach the team in a knock for Leonard Frank. Instead, the writer is an admirer of the former Gopher. Frank is a likable fellow and a good football coach. But that has nothing to do with the Lawrence situation. There was friction between Mosse and Frank, Mosse, and Frank, the two of whom were Frank. But Mosse was forced to accept the Gopher another year. Frank did not wish to go back. But he heeded the popular clamor. What was Mosse to do? Nothing but what he did—the best he could under the conditions. And now they're forgetting the faithful services of the veteran in the other years and remembering only his faith and others as well, coming under handcuffs, handcap, if you please, that he tried to eliminate last season but couldn't. And the ones who wouldn't let him are the ones who are raping now. Is it fair?—Kansas City Times. DOVER BEACH The sea of faith Let's allow this honor sentiment to work its havoc; let it clean up all the mess, and teach us the nuances of fluences, and let's give the freshmen a chance to prove their own merits. The question is frequently being asked by faculty and upperclassmen, why it is that a freshman who comes to our school the very soul of honor itself in less than two weeks contracts this venomous disease of distressing youth. How would we think of these infections sprinkled about in the pathways of these youths and maidens at every turn to the right or left? TOO MUCH AGITATION Was once, too, at the fall, and 'round earth's shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear its metamorphy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges west And the maked shineless of the world. Could this same organization adorn its tables with stolen silver—no, not "stolen," you say, just "borrowed" or taken as souvenirs from some trusting soul over whom you have "slipped one." Judged from the proper standards, the football season of 1913 was a success. Our team had beef, speed and willingness—but nothing else. Only four old men, practically, were available, since by reason of injuries There is one little circumstance in state politics that makes county club work of much greater importance in this election, not meeting, and when we do not get quite so much publicity—than in the years of the session. It is, that next summer is the time to pick the candidates. If the county clubs keep thir county alumni stirred up, and pledge candidates before they appear on the ballot, a permanent minimum University tax will go through the next legislature. And the maked skins of the world. —MATTHEW ARNOLD. E. L. Bennett. Work for it when the candidate comes around with his petition, and vote for it in the primaries and the general election, and see that, the alumni get the same idea. Pledge candidates of all parties, and it will not take such a fight when the legislature meets in January, 1915. But the time to start the campaign is during the Christmas recess, 1913. To all thinking students, the present agitation is a distinct menace to future football successes. Competent coaches cannot be secured for an institution where their retention is a problem, but this group is all-victorious team from whatever material may be presented. Nor can the University afford to gain the name of looking to nothing but victory in point of score; such a reputation is entirely out of harmony with the reality of our unessence of such a movement, and the means by which its supporters are seeking to effect their ends, make it all the more blameworthy. Coach Mosse is a man. When the time comes when he can no longer serve his institution, he will do so by himself from the distance without the use of scurrilous handbills and slides in picture shows. SPOILING OUR FRESHMEN Editor of the Daily Kansan: START CAMPAIGNING NOW Editor of the Daily Kansan: The honor sentiment, if carried out to its fullest and most beneficial extent, would abolish many 'eye-sores' that we students have had before us these many years. Out of these lessons, the honorable allow to exist within its sacred walls literature that resembles the well-known lecture note-book, laboratory books, the term's themes and other current and well circulated literature of like nature, well-thumbed and marred by many a talling freshman, virtue of his upperclass laws, has come into this valuable (?) heirage? (Although this morning's athletic rally largely destroys the effect of the following communication, we think it is worth printing especially because it comes from a sophomore.) To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: Considerable comment has been manifest lately in regard to the coaching situation for next year, the Chicago Friars or Pearceance on the campus of handbills bitterly attracting the present coaches. CAMPUS OPINION The real viciousness of such irresponsible agitation is that people over the state must take it to reflect the sentiment of the University as a whole. They will assume that this agitation, started by some mal-contents who made losing bets and other students whose sportsmanship is of so small a calibre that they consider a team unworthy of their support unjustified, is remedied when the game played, is a movement supported by the responsible student body. Such, emphatically, is not the case. the other two K men were of no service to the squad. The coaches had the task of developing an entire backfield, and of building a new line around Weidlein and Tudor. No coach should be expected to turn out an all-citiousian squad from such a team as the football games; success depends on more experience than can be gained, under any coach, in one season. In contrast to this situation, Nebraska had a veteran back field, and the majority of its linemen back. Missouri and Oklahoma had their strong teams of last year practically intact. Haskell, where Dr. Kennedy was mentor, had a large number of experienced players, including three Carliek stars. Any coach worthy of the name should have given any of these players an opportunity. And yet the Missouri team, admitted to be the best that has ever represented the school, was held to a lone field goal, and Nebraska, fresh from their victory over the powerful Minnesota eleven, won by a low score. Next year, the Kansas coach, whether it be Kennedy or Mosse, should give the school a winning squad. He will have the material, and it will be experienced. The question is, are we going to let Mosse profit by the two handicapped years he has spent in building up a team or are we going to let the laurels go to a new coach who will be fortunate in that he was employed at a very opportuntue time? Concentration is the secret of strength in politics, in war, in trade, in short, in all management of human affairs. Selections From The Pen Of The World's Great Men Plug Student.

Don't study when you're tired, For that will never do, Don't study when you're happy, Cause that will make you blue; Don't study in the day time, Don't study in the night, But study all the rest of the time, With all your main and might. Health lies in labor, and there is no royal road to it. The real challenge is Wendell Phillips. Practical people are wise people. Genius may create brilliant ideas, be of a very active turn of mind, but money makes the mare go, and what practical people really wish is to have a pot, to have that pot full of potatoes, and to have fire enough to make the pot boil. —Personality.
