The secret of the success of the
Stanford T formation lies in the
hands of the quarterback. The
signal caller docs everything but
sit on the bench. He has to be able
to run with the ball and throw it
beside having his timing down to
the split, split-second. The QB
handles the ball on every play.
June Bierbower writes that
Henry McLemore was really right
"when he said all Nebraska needed
to make it the steppes was a wolf.
This part (Giltner) of the woods
with snow on the ground might
not look like Russia, but it's the
nearest thing to Iceland I've ever
ften."

K-Statc case mentor brands
high athletic average unfair'
MANHATTAN, Kas., Dec. 15. Jack Gardner, head Kansas
State college basketball coach, today branded as "unfair" the
practice of requiring college boys to maintain high scholastic
averages to compete in athletics.
The young K-State mentor looks
at it this way. Athletics are a
definite part of an educational
program. Chemistry (or any other
major subject) and athletics are of
equal value to the boy. and should
be so treated.
"The boy who flunks chemistry
shouldn't be barred from athletic
competition any more than the
boy who fails in athletics should
be barred from taking chemistry,"
Gardner declared.
Athletics are beneficial.
"Now don't misunderstand me,"
he warned. "At Kansas State we
consider athletics an essential part
of the educational program. This
is contrasted with some other
schools which apparently feel
otherwise and limit participation
in athletics to a select few. Isn't
it logical to believe that athletics
ire just as beneficial to the aver
age or poor student as the Phi
Beta Kappa?
"We want the boys to maintain
high scholastic averages, but we
also want them to do just as well
in athletics as they do in chemis
try." Gardner pointed to the fact that
an athlete is penalized by scholas
tic requirements which do not ap
ply to. other students. These re
quirements are insisted upon in
spite of the fact the athlete has
an additional burden because of
the time he must spend while out
for a coHeee sport.
The K-State cofch also pointed
to the current movement favoring
more athletics and physical edu
cation for young men as an aid in
the national defense program
"Certainly health is more impor
tant than any book work."
