Kansas City Fans Stunned As A's Stay in Philadelphia
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)—T h e Kansas City big league bubble burst today.
The realtor already had made plans to remodel the Kansas City baseball park, and to hire a new general manager and field manager.
Disappointment here was particularly bitter—if not altogether unexpected in light of past days' developments—because the American league last Tuesday approved transfer of the Athletics' franchise to Kansas City. Johnson had offered $3,755,000 for the club.
The news that the Philadelphia Athletics will remain in Philadelphia plunged into gloom a city that only last Wednesday was a scene of mass jubilation over apparent assurance the American league franchise would be sold to Chicago realtor Arnold Johnson and moved to Kansas City.
Parke Carroll, general manager of the Kansas City Blues of the class AAA American association—a New York Yankee farm organization—said "there is nothing I can say about" the Philadelphia situation.
An eight-man Philadelphia syndicate, with plenty of enthusiasm but no baseball experience, took over the ownership of the floundering Athletics and left disappointed Kansas City fans on the outside looking in.
Reaction here ranged from disbelief to bitter resignation.
"I don't believe it," said Karl Koerper, president of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. "It's just more of the same confusion we've had all week."
"Of course," he said. "We are bitterly disappointed. But we feel we have done everything possible that's been asked of us. We wish Philadelphia and the new organization the very best of luck."
"The Blues are still in Kansas City, that's all." he added.
But Ernest Mehl, sports editor of the Kansas City Star and sparkplug of the campaign to bring major league baseball here, was convinced he had lost.

MU Football Trip Plans Set
Miller estimated that more than 300 members of the KU pup clubs will attend the game, which is MU's homecoming contest.
Tickets are now on sale at the athletic office and buses will be chartered when an indication of the number of students who will attend is learned, Jim Miller, president of KuKus, upperclass men's pop club, said.
KU students will have an opportunity to travel as a group to the Missouri-Kansas football game at Columbia Nov. 20. Kansas rooters will occupy a special section of seats at the game.
Price of the tickets is $3 and ticket sales will end Nov. 2. Miller said bus tickets will be sold for about $3 Nov. 3 and 4, with time and place to be announced. Women students will be required to give notice to house authorities.
The migration is an annual event in which KU rooters travel as an organized group to a Big Seven football game.
United Nations Week to Be Noted by CCUN
In conjunction with observance of United Nations week all over the world, Jim Johnston, president of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, announced today that the week will be observed by the CCUN on the campus.
Murphy Statement
As the President of the United States has noted, the citizens of this and of every nation have a tremendous stake in the effectiveness of the United Nations. Yet it is obvious that much misunderstanding and ignorance exists of the United Nations' true functions, missions, powers or lack of power.
Therefore, both as an individual and a representative of this University, I urge participation by the students and faculty in United Nations week observances planned by the Collegeate Council for the United Nations.
Three informational films from the UN will be shown at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Jayhawk room of the Union. Titles of the films are "The Defense of the Peace," "The Eternal Light," and "The People's Charter." The films are co-sponsored by the International committee of the YMCA. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
Our self-interest and duty as educated persons forbid judgment of the United Nations based on anything less than accurate information. The Collegeate Council for the United Nations on this campus is to be commended for opening these avenues of understanding.
—Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy
It Was a Sorry Day—for Some—in KU's Worst Defeat

GLOOM. JOY ON THE SIDELINES--Others than the KU athletes suffered anguish in the humiliating Oklahoma defeat here Saturday, as can be seen in these caught-off-guard photographs. Needless to say, Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson, far right, took it fairly easy. The Sooner cheerleaders, (far left), soon tired out after acrobatics of the type shown—following each OU touchdown. Kansas Coach Chuck Mather (second from left) was a picture of forlornness as was Bette Lou Watson, KU cheerleader.
