LOSSES FROM LAST YEAR ('06 stats):
SEASON SUMMARY:
Phog Allen resigned as captain of the 1906-07 team and left
the university to become head basketball coach at Baker University in Baldwin
City, KS. The idea seemed
preposterous to Naismith, who once told Allen, “You can’t coach the game of
basketball; you just play it.”KU’s schedule in 1906-07 included ‘the Farmers of
Manhattan, the Soldiers of Fort Riley, the teachers of Emporia, the Methodists
of Baldwin, and the Athletics of Newton.”
The Jayhawks lost to Allen’s Baker team 39-24.
