THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"Phog" Allen Puts K.O. on Varsity Leather Pushers
Team Will Not Be Permitted to Compete in Any Intercollegiate Matches
"The boxing team will not be allowed to compete in any intercollegiate matches this year nor will there be a professional coach hired," said Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics, this morning.
The faculty representatives of the Missouri Valley conference frowned upon intercollegiate boxing at their meeting last spring and refused to adopt it as a valley sport. In accordance with the administration does not feel that it should go to the added expense of paying for an instructor.
Last Year's Men to Coach
Instead a team will be organized for intramural and interorganization matches and will be coached by members of last year's varsity team.
Another reason that the athletic administration does not favor the establishing of intercollegiate boxing in the valley is that certain professional promoters are ready to grab off any amateur prospect that looks good and add him to his "stable" or string of boxers.
Fear Growth of Profession
This would tend to make the valley school a place where young men could be given their first lessons in the flicke game and later when out of school could take up the game as a profession if they showed promise.
The University of Kansas, according to the athletic administration, does not purpose to be a training stable for professional athletes. That this is the reason why no University of Kansas men appear on the roster of professional football teams being organized over the country.
To Keep Out Professionalism
There has been a big fight made on professionalism not only on boxing but football in the Valley and the Big Ten conferences. John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics of the University of Texas, is one of the leaders in this fight.
The principal reason that college wrestling is kept free from the infringements of the professional manager or impressario is that the wrestler can be found in college but not in cards in the professional game, but occasionally an educational institution will turn out a big fellow that can grabbing promoter loses no money in grabbing him lose and making a professional of him.
The ethics of the professional boxing and wrestling game are not in record with those of the schools of the sport, so it will keep out of this sort of stuff.
Harvard Loses Coaches
Football Material is Largely Inexperienced Men
Bob Fisher, head coach, and Neil Mahan are the only regular members of Harvard's coaching staff of its first 25 seasons. The Crimson regulars this season.
There has been a big shake-up in Harvard's football staff which, has fared so badly for the past two seasons. Bob Fished once resigned but finally agreed to take charge again this season.
Charley Daly, former player and coach at West Point who also played with Harvard 27 years ago will age 50 in the summer to squad this year. Daly was once one of the assistant coaches under Percy Haugenthuizen and is connected with the team's coaching staff.
Leo Leary, a former end coach, has been engaged to take charge of the wings and Charley Tierney, a former middle back of Harvard will coach the line.
The Harvard football material is largely inexperienced. Several good prospects were developed during the season, and they went on to coaching. Six of the men who started the Yale game last fall were lost by graduation but with the remaining five and some of last year's substitute players hope to build a strong machine.
Harpard, like other eastern teams,
will be strongest in the backfield.
Jake Stafford, quarterback; AI Miller
and Jack Mayer, half-backs; and
Marian Cheek, captain and fulback
will compose the backfield mechanism.
But the others were regular firewives
in the Crimson line-up.
Carl Lindner and Klem Coady,
tackles, will compose the nucleus for
the line and Jack Ainis, as a
backbone. The bass will doubt-
less be the regular smack this year.

By special arrangement between the University and Haskell authorities all University of Kansas students will be admitted for fifty cents.
Officials for the game will be Jeslie Edmonds, Ottawa, referee; Karl Schleademan, De Paun, umpire; and Doctor Bogue, Ottawa; head lines
Star Pitchers Lose Initial World Series Game, Says Ty Cobb
Premier Hurlers Too Nervous Because of Responsibility of Position
When a team enters the world series the grand stand puts unlimited faith in the star pitcher but Ty Cobb does not, at least not in the first
Cobb has facts to back him. More premier pitchers have lost their first game than have won them. The second or third ranking pitcher on the team seems to be the most effective in world series openers.
"The star thinks the world rests on his shoulders and he is generally too tired to speak, so I said To." "After he has been on the bench a couple of days and seen less pitchers work, the strain will increase," he said "to able to accept himself creditably."
Next to first ranking pitcher the best left hand had have preference as first game twirlers. But these also have more lost than won. Marquard alone lost three first games and Grabock four if Koch rocked second among White Sox in 1968 but he was the first game. Babe Ruth was Boston's third-best in 1918 when he sailed away number one of that series. Neft was second-best of the twirling for the Giants in 1922 but Neft won.
Baba Adams and Stanley Coveleski were both third in rank when they entered the world series. In 1960 Adams pitched the opener and won. Then Babe followed this victory up to the World Series in 1972, and so series. In 1920, to show that it could be done, Coveleski duplicated Adams' feat. On the other hand Chief Bender lost two first games when he was first ranking pitcher for the Athletics in 1911 and 1914 and then opened in 1913 when he ranked second.
How the pitchers fared when they pitched in the world series is summarized below;
