m The AYHAWKgRS 1921 IN the only fatality that has marked the history of K. U. ath- letics, Hubert R. Wesley, c ' 22, gave his life May 18, 1920, while practicing with the Varsity baseball squad on McCook Field. Wesley, playing in right field, at- tempted to field a high foul and while running at top speed was struck just over the heart by a 16-pound shot thrown in practice by a track man. Wesley lived only 15 minutes af- ter the accident, and did not regain consciousness, though two pulmotors were employed. The entire baseball and track squads and a num- ber of spectators witnessed the tragedy, and all were agreed that neither man was to blame for the accident. The foul Wesley tried to catch was far outside the diamond, and the shot putter shouted a warning, but too late. Wesley ' s home was at Bancroft. He played on the freshman basket ball and baseball squads in his first year, and had been in the University band since entering school. He took part in several Varsity baseball games during the 1920 season as utility outfielder and pinch hitter, and was a dependable player. The Athletic Board awarded Wesley a posthumous K last fall. The name of Hubert R. Wesley will always be revered among University of Kansas athletes and their followers. He volunteered the strength of his body to uphold the honor of Alma Mater on the athletic field, and made the great sacrifice in the fullness of his devotion to the Crimson and lue. lluUrt R.

THE CHEER LEADERS Glenn Carl I. Winsor . Erwin E. Glenn Shirley W. Peters Peters insur Head Cheer Leader Assistant Assistant Cheer leading at the University became a fine art this year with Sandy Winsor at the helm of the Thundering Thousands. The cheering was always organized and the rooters never ceased to fight ' em. The time-worn and not entirely false assertion that Kansas rooters quit rootirig when their team began to lose was effectually refuted at the Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri games this year. The old cry of Bust it now! sounded by Sandy undoubtedly brought a response which showed alumni visitors and the visiting team that the old Jay- hawk spirit lived again. Curve Glenn and Shirley Peters, the two scrappy assistants, followed well the leadership of Sandy and kept their end of the bleach- ers Fightin ' ' em to the last whistle. A great revival of spirit to correspond with the new era in all parts of the University was ushered in at the athletic contests throughout the entire year. It speaks well for the cheer leading forces that no game of ' any kind this year ran its course without the encouragement of a Rock Chalk. And when a crowd becomes wildly enthusiastic about a two-mile run at an indoor track meet it can truly be said that the old spirit of Uncle Jimmy Green and Tommy Johnson and the ghosts of all the thunderers have been reincarnated. i 1.
