BOLSTERING UP TRACK ATHLETICS
Dean Green in his speech before the Kansas City alumni of the University last Friday evening gave expression to a sentiment that the student body is greatly concerned in. His subject was track athletics and he offered a panacea for the sickly condition of the team. He said that track athletics would only prosper when an experienced coach was obtained to devote his entire time to that branch of sport.
Dean Green is right, as he always is on subjects athletic. A coach working half time, and in that half time conducting gym classes can not be expected to turn out winning teams against schools with coaches devoted to track training alone. Kansas should take a few pointers from Missouri. The Tiger track team has been training all year under Monilaw and Crouch, the ex-Tiger hurdler. Early in November at the time of the Missouri-Washington football game Monilaw had all his track athletes in regular training. Coach Hagerman, foundered with work, had not had time to think of a track team or track prospects at that early date. Kansas must follow Missouri's example and hire a man who will be given time to take care of the track men.
Missouri's action in obtaining a football coach is also worthy of commendation. The Tigers, long losers at the gridiron game, mean to spare no expense in instituting a winning system and so they hired Roper, the Princeton coach, at $2,500 per season. Kansas must dig down in her pockets and find the price of a good track coach in some way. If no other method is successful the students will willingly stand a fifty cent increase on the price of the student ticket. A winning track team next year at any price should be the slogan of the followers of athletics.
The debating team has met and defeated the Colorado team and put the first debate of the
season in the "won" column for Kansas. It is a pleasure to take the measure of a team of gentlemen like Colorado is in the habit of sending out. In fact a defeat would lose the greater part of its sting if obtained from the hands of the gallant debaters from our sister state on the west. Win or loose Kansas can not fail to gain through a forsene contest held in a spirit of rivalry and fair play. And preeminent among the fair players stands our ancient and honorable rival, Colorado.
Referee Barnes in an open letter to the Kansas City Star answers the allegation of Coach Monilaw that Cooley's foul of Cleland was intentional. Barnes who was close at hand saw every detail of the foul and his judgment as referee was that it was purely accidental. Coach Monilaw is wrong in maintaining that the foul was intentional and he is exceeding his rights in maintaining that Cleland should be given first place over Clarke
