Phog Blasts Complacency
'Act Like We Want Football'
Phog Allen, the fiery basketball coach whose Kansas teams have ranked with the nation's best over a span of 39 years. Monday blasted complacency among alumni, students and administration saying, "We say we want football and we've got to act like we want football."
He told members of the Lawrence Quarterback Club that in the 37 years since he coached a Kansas football team one thing had remained the same—"the desire to beat Missouri."
Dr. Allen cited Don Feller and Homer Floyd as two men who would rank among the best who have ever played for Kansas.
"Feller electrified the team with his thrilling touchdown run in the Kansas State game," Dr. Allen said. "Both men played stimulated ball and got the team going."
Injury Situation Summarized
Earlier, members of the club heard Chuck Mather give a summary of KU's current injury situation, which is light, and Wayne Replogle, head scout, reported on Missouri's team.
"Basically, Missouri's strength comes from team play," Replogle said.
"They move slowly, running off only 54 plays during the K-State game while Kansas State ran off 78.
"Their scrambling defensive tactics succeeded only in allowing Kansas State to rush 410 yards from scrimmage."
Athletic Holidays Cited
Dr. Allen, in emphasizing that spirit should be created before each game rather than during the game, cited Kansas State's three student chosen athletic holidays that are scheduled after an especially hard fought Wildcat victory.
"What's wrong with Kansas?" Dr. Allen asked.
"Kansas is the sister school to Kansas State and we have the same Board of Regents but they have three athletic holidays."
Dr. Allen advised quarterback club members to see the team off to Topeka Friday, pick one player and "sincerely tell him the town and school believe in him and his team."
The first time was a charm for Marcia Johnson, Leawood senior, when she was named queen of KU's 46th Homecoming Monday.
'Can't Believe It!'
The new queen is 5 feet $ 7^{1 / 2} $ inches tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She attended William Woods College for women in Fulton, Mo. for two years before coming to KU in the fall of 1956.
"This is the first time I've ever been nominated for a queen in my life and I simply can't believe that it has happened," she said. It's been a pretty happy ending for the first try."
"I had no idea during the judging that this would happen," she said. "I sometimes have a little trouble talking to older people and it seemed that I was having trouble during the interviews. I suppose that this was one reason that I was so surprised."
Miss Johnson's reign next week will include an alumni dinner in Kansas City Thursday. On Friday night she will be officially crowned at the Jayhawk Follies in Allen Field House. Saturday's schedule includes a buffet luncheon in the Student Union ballroom, the KU-Missouri game and the Homecoming dance.
Miss Johnson was thinking about what to wear for the various events when interviewed by The Daily Kansan Monday night.
Sam Elliott, 87, a former employee of the University and father of Miss Maude Elliott, assistant professor of romance languages, died today at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
"No one has told me any details of the schedule yet and I have no idea of what I'll need for clothes," she said.
Ex-Employee Of KU Dies
Mr. Elliott, who was known as a benefactor and friend of generations of students was a former employee of the Lawrence post office. He retired in 1936 after working the last five years of his career in the KU post office. During World War II he was watchman at the University.
Also surviving are his wife, Mrs. Jeannette Elliott, Lawrence, two daughters, Mrs. Jeannette Aldrich, Lawrence, and Mrs. Marian Needham, Oswego, Ore., and two sons, Mr. George Elliott, Portland, Ore., and Sam H. Elliott, Ohio. His wife and children all attended KU.

Weather
- Dean L. C. Woodruff, chairman of the Athletic Board, said Monday night there was a misunderstanding as to whether the basketball game was an athletic event or a Homecoming event, but since the students agreed there should be no charge, the committee so ruled.
The decision came after a resolution by the All Student Council Tuesday. The ASC claimed that students should not be charged because ID cards allow attendance to all athletic events.
Those who did not favor the resolution wanted to charge admission to help pay for part of the Homecoming activities and athletic program.
The Follies and the game usually attract a crowd of between 10,000 and 12,000, including 3,000 students.
