MATHER EXPLAINS RESIGNATION TO EDITORS—Chuck Mather (center) explains his resignation to Daily Kansan sports editors Malcolm Applegate (left) and George Anthan.
Mather, in a surprise move, announced Wednesday afternoon that he was quitting his job as head football coach at the University. Mather has been at Kansas since 1954.
By MALCOLM APPLEGATE (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
What effect will Coach Chuek Mather's resignation have on the football team for the remainder of the season? Will a new coach be able to instill in Kansas football a new spirit which has been lacking during the past five years?
Only time will answer these questions. But, at least the news has broken. The rumors which have been floating around for nearly two years about Coach Mather quitting have come to an end. Another coach will get a crack at improving our football.
But we must remember that KU still has four more games to play this season. This man, who has just resigned, will still head the Jayhawkers in four vital games.
Although Coach Mather has not, at least in the record books, proved to be one of KU's outstanding coaches, we think that he will continue to lead Kansas with the same sincere and devoted effort with which he has led the Jayhawkers through three complete seasons. He has not given up. Mather will continue to do his best which is all we can expect from anyone.
Coach Mather made a hard decision with the courage of a man. As fans, let's display the same courage that he had when he resigned. If we do our part through the next four games, we can help a great deal to help a sincere man bow out in winning fashion.
Football still lives within this man. When asked of the future he said, "It's hard to say whether I will keep on coaching. At times it is very discouraging, but the good far overshadows the bad."
