The Latin Americans have nothing on American universities.
When a republic in that region is liberated by a new regime—everything changes—the "outs" are in and the "ins" are out.
Many players under scholarship or under some sort of agreement find themselves suddenly on the outside due to the change of regime.
When a coaching change is made in the USA, the outgoing coach packs up, lock, stock, assistants, players and agreements.
Here in Kansas one Chuck Mather bowed out last October after four hectic years as head football coach
In came Jack Mitchell, whose feats at Wichita and Arkansas earned for him the reputation of being one of the area's best coaches—he won games.
In September of 1957 one John Husar, a third team tackle from Chicago, Ill. on athletic scholarship, was told by Mather that he needed more experience.
After all Mather's teams were not winning so changes were in order.
Mitchell brought with him new concepts, new coaches and new ideas for the physical plant.
A good place to get experience was Dodge City Junior College so off went Husar and three other KU players, John Schartz, Pete Gnam and Don DoneMate.
So Husar and the three went to Dodge and that school had its best football season in history. Dodge City won the tough Jayhawk league and placed sixth in national playoffs
Husar was told by Mather to go down and play one season then come back to Kansas for the spring semester on full scholarship.
Husar got experience plus an all-conference first team berth.
So back he came to Kansas but Mather was no longer here and neither was his scholarship.
Mitchell had not seen Husar play He might-be a risk.
Husar was invited to try out for the team. If he made it his scholarship would be renewed. However, among the players, concepts are that a person putting in three or more hours per day on the football field and not getting paid for it is foolish
Husar has received scholarship offers from Kansas State, Florida and Wichita but prefers to remain at KU to work on his major, news-editorial journalism.
What of Schartz, Gnam and DeMate? Gnam is now married and not in school. Schartz and DeMate are still in Dodge City—getting experience. Scholarship status unknown.
Whatever Happened To CHARLIE BLACK
Charlie Black is 6-4/2, a big basketball player back in 1943.
Black was the first Javhawker to score over 1,000 points. He was an all-American at forward in 1946. Black led the conference with a 17.3 point average in 1946.
While at KU Black held Oklahoma's great Gerald Tucker to 18 points in three games. Tucker was named the nation's top basketball player that year.
Black, who began his Kansas athletic career in 1943, was also the Big Six shot put champion in 1946 with a 46-foot, 4-inch heave.
Black was all-conference in basketball in 1943, '46, '47, and '48. He was from Kansas City, Mo's. Southwest High School.
Black played with a number of pro basketball teams after leaving KU. He now has a farm near Hutchinson and coaches basketball at Abbyville High School.

Dates for the seventh annual Public Relations Institute at KU will be March 28-29. The program is a cooperative project of the Public Relations Societies of Topeka, Wichita and Kansas City, Mo., the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and University Extension.
Tough OU Track Squad Here
Bill Easton and his indoor track squad get their first chance at another season of indoor track dominance tonight when they play host to the Oklahoma Sooners at Allen Field House. Field events begin at 7:30 p.m. with the first running events at 8 p.m.
Easton has always had a healthy respect for the Oklahoma track squad and has stated this year that the Sooners will probably be the toughest Big Eight team the Jayhawkers will meet.
The meet tonight will get the Javahawks in shape for what will probably be their toughest meet of the year—the Michigan State Relays this Saturday night. There the Jayhawkers will meet some of the top track teams in the nation.
The meet was originally scheduled for last Saturday but was changed to tonight by mutual consent of both schools. This will give both teams a chance to use men who didn't become eligible until second semester.
Spartan Relays Coming
The mile, 880, 440 and the 60-yard dashes are all shaping up to be the top events of the meet. In each of these events, some of the
top performers in the country are entered.
Most interest in the meet will probably be focused on the mile and OU's Gail Hodgson. The South African is being hailed by many as a new Wes Santee. Last year, as a freshman, he was clocked officially at 4:08.2 and unofficially at 4:06.5. Hodgson was out of practice almost a month with a varicose-vein operation and isn't expected to be at his peak yet, but is destined to bother the Jayhawkers later.
Skutka vs. Hodgson
Biggest competitor for Hodsonson will probably be Kansas' Tom Skutka, the Big Eight's cross-country champion. Skutka has gone as low as 4:16 this month. His best time was 4:12.3 which he posted last June. Also expected to be strong contenders for Kansas in the mile are Dale Lubs and Verlyn Schmidt.
A strong threat to Kansas in the 880 will be OU senior Gary Parr. He has come within two-tenths second of the KU-OU meet record.
Kansas will be able to offer Parr some competition in the form of sophomore Cliff Cushman who has clocked as low as 1:55.5 in practice sessions.
Another strong Jayhawker in the 880 will be sophomore Bobby Tague who should balance the threat fromOU's Bobby Ringo in this event.
Three KU men and three OU runners figure prominently in the quarter-mile race. The Sooners will have veterans Glen Chowins and Bill Pritchett along with a rookie, Hi Germert. Against these Kansas will send indoor champ Ray Wyatt and Bob Lida and Verne Gauby. Wyatt has a :50.6 clocking in practice this year while Gernert established a conference indoor record last year of :49.4.
Shelby to Top KU Sprinter
Charlie Tidwell and Ernie Shelby of Kansas and Dee Givens of Oklahoma show the most promise in the sprints. Givens tied the conference freshman record of :06.2 in the 60-vard dash last year and Tidwell has been hitting that regularly in practice. Shelby has run several :06.3 dashes. Givens clocked :09.7 for the 100 behind Dave Sime for second in the Sugar Bowl last year.

Hennen Keeps Pitt Winning
Bv UNITED PRESS
Based on the slick way he's operating on his opponents this season, little Don Hennen of Pittsburgh should develop into a respected surgeon.
The 5-foot, 8-inch "mighty mite" from Wampum, Pa., became the third Pitt basketball player to score more than 1,000 points when he led the touring Panthers to an easy 77-62 victory over Connecticut Tuesday night at Storrs, Conn.
Although considered too small for pro basketball, Hennon looks like a cinnch to wipe out every Pitt scoring record, including Ed Pavlick's single season mark of 622 points established in 1955.
North Carolina State took over undisputed possession of first place in the Athletic Coast Conference by edging Virginia, 61-58, while Duke tied idle North Carolina for second place in the conference by dumping Clemson, 73-57.
Elsewhere, Notre Dame pulled away in the second half to defeat touring Canisius, 71-59; Western Kentucky rolled to a 77-62 victory over De Paul; St. John's tripped Brooklyn College, 91-77; Virginia Tech defeated Furman, 102-76; Texas A & M defeated Houston, 92-74, and Rice breezed to a 102-68 triumph over Texas.
Yardley May Be 1st To Score 2,000 Points
By UNITED PRESS
With a little luck, George Yardley of the Detroit Pistons, the National Basketball Asso's top scorer, can become the first player to score 2,000 points in a single season.
The balding, former Stanford University star scored 52 points Tuesday night to run his season total to 1,463 in 54 games. If he betts his game average of 27.2 by a little more than two points in the remaining 18 games Yardley can reach the 2,000 point circle. And even if he misses that figure, he is almost certain to top the previous season record of 1,849 set by Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks in 1955-56.
