It is presented to the linebacker displaying the best ability, sportsmanship and value to the team and is selected by team members.

Named as honorary co-captains for the 1965 football season by head coach Jack Mitchell were Greg Roth and Shinn, Roth, Hays senior, was defensive linebacker-guard for the Jayhawks.
Ray Eliot, assistant athletic director at Illinois, was the featured speaker at the banquet. Eliot, football coach for 26 years who retired in 1960, framed his sneech around "the will to win."
The Monday night banquet was sponsored by the Downtown Quarterback Club of Lawrence.
Coach Jack Mitchell said Kansas had a disappointing season but with hard work it would not happen again.
He told the returning players that it would be necessary to work for a better football team all year, not just in the fall. He said the squad would not associate itself with anyone who would not give 100 per cent on the field.

Frosh to Open Roundball Play
Composed of exceptional shooters according to Coach Bob Mulcahy, the freshman basketball team will open its 1965-66 season against Coffeyville Junior College at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Allen Field House.
Although the freshmen shot only 44 per cent from the field in the varsity-fresh scrimmage won by the varsity, 61-51, Mulcahy says the team is capable of better scoring. They converted 15 of 24 foul shots for 62 per cent.
AFTER VIEWING FILMS of the scrimage, Mulcahy has not made any offensive or defensive changes.
"We're relying on the same attack as last year with one exception. This year's team will run more and play a faster game. We have better ball handlers," Mulcahy said.
THE FRESHMEN will run the same single post offense used by the varsity against Coffeyville. With guard Joseph White bringing up the ball, they will use a one guard front pattern offense.
Defensively, the freshmen will play man-to-man.
Mulcahy said he has not noticed any specific weakness in the freshmen except for the lack of maturity and confidence.
"Against the varsity, the freshmen lacked poise and confidence," Mulcahy said. "They were nervous playing before an estimated 5,000 fans. Many of the freshmen have not played in such a large place as Allen Field House."
The freshmen are strong because they are good rebounders, quick, and aggressive both of intensively and defensively according to assistant coach Dave Schichtle.
"THE TEAM IS lacking knowledge of KU's style of basketball. We want them to play and perform to our style."
During the past week, the freshmen worked on timing. Prior to the varsity game, the freshmen worked as a unit for only two months.
Tentative starting line-up includes 6-7 center Vernon Vanoy, Kansas City, Mo., and forwards Don Ross, 6-8, Waterloo, Iowa, and Howard Arndt, 6-7, Republic, Mo.
Guards will be selected from 6-4 Phil Harmon, Tulsa, Okla; 6-2 Rich Thomas, Dieterich, Ill., and 6-3 Joseph White, St. Louis, Mo.
