To the Editor of the Kansan:
More About Training Tables.
A recent issue of the Kansan contained an article supporting the views of those who are opposed to having a training table for the present football season, and there has been much discussion lately among the students and faculty, about this same proposition. The principle reasons advanced for not having a training table are: that we can't afford it, that it offers opportunities of "graft," that it would be unfair to the teams with whom we play, and that it is opposed to the idea of clean athletics. These will be taken up in order.
In the first place, the Athletic Association was never in better financial circumstances than it is today. Last year's season was successful in that it split even and made no new debts. This year, under the supervision of Manager Lansdon, we may expect to make money. The schedule is not expensive. The home games will more than pay for themselves and the out of town trips will bring handsome returns. The Washburn game will net us three hundred and fifty dollars, the Nebraska game four hundred dollars, and the Missouri game over three thousand dollars, and the treasurer already has nearly two thousand dollars. We can easily afford a training table.
It is hard to find any possibilities of so called "graft." Every cent taken in or paid out is carefully accounted for, and every account is audited by the Athletic board, composed of four students, four faculty members, and the Chancellor. It is unnecessary to answer this contention further.
As for the Chicago Conference rule abolishing training tables, we are not bound by it in any way, nor are we under any
obligation whatever to abide by it. The other rules of the same conference were not adopted at K. U. Neither the rule doing away with paid coaches, nor the rule limiting the schedule to five games was given any consideration by the authorities here.
A. A. Stag, Chicago's coach, who is one of the purists in athletics, has announced that he has found a way to evade the rule without technically violating it. His training table goes by the name "Students' Club." Coming nearer home, at Nebraska, it is known as a "Cooperative Club." Kansas should run a training table openly and above board, and should call it a training table. The fourth contention is positively absurd. The purpose of a training table is not to build up mountains of flesh, nerve and animal strength, but merely to keep the players in a fit physical condition to withstand the rigors of a strenuous football campaign. Football calls for more strength, more endurance, more nerve, more brain activity and more agility than any other branch of athletics. In addition to this, the team members are rerequired to keep up to the top notch in their class work. All this is a constant drain on any person's mental and physical resources and the purpose of a training table is to make good this loss and to keep the human mechanism in repair.
The rules this year make the game more difficult than ever before. The distance to be gained has been doubled and as a consequence, nearly twice the physical effort must be called forth to make the gain. The changes in the rules demand more and harder practice in order to perfect a new system of play. Coach Kennedy said last Tuesday that the squad had been given more scrimmage work already this season than they had during the whole of last season. The team is already showing the effects of this.
and the athletic association can and should pay the other half. It is the duty of the University to keep their gridiron champions in good physical condition, and furthermore, this must be done if we expect them to win new laurels for K. U. this season.
A good training table can be maintained at a cost of six dollars per week for each man. The men can pay half of this
