Wisecracking
Kansas Chant.
A m i 1 1 1 1 II lift '
By Ed Steeves.
Our ditty yesterday on the whis
tie-puffing Ernie Quigley served as
bait for bigger and better ditties
of the same personality. The gruff
old Dutch (we called him Irish
yesterday) "umperee" is the an
swer to a columnist s prayers.
Nearly every Quigley action is
food for the hungry column reader.
One of the choicer quips is that
concerning the official and Steve
O'Rourke, scout for the Detroit
Tigers. O'Rourke, it seems, dwells
next door to Quiff and is his bosom
buddy. Their reunion one year
was in a joint job or officialing the
T. (J. U.-S. M. U. football tangle.
The game was played and Quie
ley and O'Rourke retired to the
suds and showers, discussing old
times. Knifing his way through
the steam of the shower room, the
business manager of the host uni
versity sallied up to Quigley with
his check book.
"How much do I owe you, Mr.
Quigley?," he queried with a look
as managers wear.
"Well, professor, " he replied,
"you owe me exactly $161. fiO."
The manager wrote him the
check while O'Rourke stood with
mouth ajar at the requested fee.
Continuing thru the rounds of
officials armed with a check book,
the manager approached O'Rourke.
"How much do I owe YOU?" he
asked. .
"Well," said O'Rourke, evading
the question, "I live next door to
Mr. Quigley."
And with this he was presented
with a duplicate of Ernie's check
$161.60. His fee should have
been not more than $80.
Another deals with the infinite
prestige of Quig. In a certain
cage encounter a couple of the
players got a bit unruly. One In
particular let his disposition run
amuck. Within a few minutes
he had let a fist fly firmly into
the countenance of the second
player.
Quigley, still chewing his
whistle, grabbed him by the
back of the neck, led him to the
official desk and inquired as to
his foul offenses. The player
had had no personals called upon
him in the game, but the Dutch
rcf fixed that. He charged him
with four fouls, giving him per
manent exodus from the game,
and awarded the punched player
eight free shots at the hooo.
Such action is not found be
tween the covers of the rule
book, but no one protested Quig
ley. We nominate the Husker cagers
as the most wise cracking five in
the Big Six conference. There is
a tie for first place among three
snappy retaliators Howard Bak
er, Ernie White and Bob Elliott.
Ernie's is that effervescing kind
that is as continuous as a loop of
string. Elliott's is contrasting, slow
and easy, but it rocM you when
he finally lets loose of the last
word. His imitations of Ken Mur
ray are good enough to sub for
the renowned comedian. Baker is
the daredevil kind, taking nothing
from anybody. You are all famii
iar, I suppose, with the anecdote
which tells of Pete singing with
the orchestra in one of the down
town Minneapolis hotels, as a dare.
Dohrmann, Grimm, Amen, Hale,
Parsons and Kovonda do cnly
to add hilarity to all the workouts.
That chanting Kansas V. "Rock
Chalk Jay Hawk" yell that keeps
stadium goers in a hushed silence,
that keeps birds hanging intently
in midair, and that makes ail
Huskers wish they had a yell like
it, has a lengthy' history.
Its origin is not definite, but we
know that it was before 1S98. for
in this year it started its globe
trotting. Company H of Kansas
infantry introduced it to all volun
teers at San Francisco. From these
men it went to the battle fields of
the Philippines. The same is true
of the trenches of the World wnr
from whence the wailing Rock
Chalk was often emitted before a
charge.
The same chant has been pres
ent at all Olympics plus the In-ter-Alhed
games in Pans and
the athletic meets at Commercy
field at Commercy, France. It
was at the Olympics at Antwerp
that the nobility assembled there
requested to hear tha typical
American college yell.
In all good stories there must
be an oddity and here it is. Orig
inally the chant had no athletic
connection. In fact there were
no athletic fields at Kansas un
til 1S90. It was originally adopt
ed by the Science club of tne
Jay school, but due to the fact
that it rhymed with Jayhawk it
was submitted to the athletic de
partment for use.
Since its origin it has under
gone many and varied changes
and improvements until it devel
oped Into its present state.
Is It any wonder that "Rock
Chalk Jay Hawk" persists?

under the su
pervision of Dutch Simons and
Coacli Jerry Adams. Altho he still
lacks some of the fine points of a
polished niatman, stated Coach
Adams, he is very aggressive and
has plenty of speed, lie has been
working hard, continued the coach,
and has shown plentv of improve
ment since he started working out.
Despite the fact that the team
is in good spirits over the show
ing made ut. Minnesota last Satur
day, Coach Adams put the bone
benders thru a stiff pace to round
off the midweek workout. Dutch
Simons took a nine minute heat
with the coach in preparation for
the coining fray with Elmer Arns
perger of Missouri. Flash Flasnick
took teammade Jerry Adams thru
a merry pace in a short, stiff work
out to get up a sweat to take off
a few surplus pounds.
No important changes in the
lineup are expected since the
heavyweight question has been
settled, at least for the Missouri
meet. The team will leave on the
Zephyr Friday morning for Kan
sas City where they will change

Huskers, banking on longer odds,
hope to upset botli the Sooners
and Allen's Kansans. This would
tie the Sooners and Huskers for
second and third and throw Kan
sas into a precarious situation,
though still in first place.
Huskers Stand Chance.
By such higher calculus the
Brownemen still stand a chance at
the crown if a second quint knocks
off the immortal leaders. Should
they lose, their chances even at
second notch would be dim.
Coach Hugh McDermott is play
ing a host of seniors this season,
most of them having lettered three
years in Soor.erville. Tee Connely,
Jerome Needy, Don Gunning and
John Remy are all polishing off
their careers. The fifth post is
filled by a junior, Bill Martin, who
is high scoring back court man of
the loop. Bob Parsons ranks next,
and Martin and he should provide
a bonus of interest in the already
colorful contest. Martin piled up
22 points against the Kansas State
Wildcats to come within five tal
lies of top honors of scoring per
one game.
Many Sooner Seniors.
Seniors reign on the Oklahoma
bench also. Herman Nelson, Ed
Otte and Jay Thomas are all play

has only Baker and Sorensen in
the graduating class. Parsons,
Ebaugh and Amen are juniors.

Last year the ever-winning Gophers came to
Lincoln where they sank the Huskers 57-27 in the
coliseum pool, but the Nebraska tanksters have dif

All season the Sooners have

"The Voice of Experience! .
the man with the million dollar throat
A.n independent survey was made recently
among professional men and women lawyers,
doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Of those who said
they smoke cigarettes, more than 87 stated they
personally prefer a light smoke.
"The Voice of Experience" verifies the wisdom
of this preference, and so do other leading artists
of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices
are their fortunes. That's why so many of them
smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro
tection of Luckies a light smoke, free of certain
harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process
"It's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.
