HE DIDN'T HELP-Kansas had its Jayhawkers as well as a fine supporting crew of cheerleaders and fans, but they didn't have much to shout about as the Oklahoma Sooners romped to a 45-0 win in Norman Saturday.
Great Day for Football Band, Fans-But Sad
By CLARKE KEYS
Norman, Okla.—Supposedly there was an outside chance for an upset and many of the more than 500 Kansas fans who journeyed to Soonerland Saturday held high hopes as they filed into Norman's magnificent stadium.
But it didn't take long to destroy any idea that the Jayhawkers had a chance against Oklahoma's crushing attack. With the exception of a brief flurry in the second quarter, Oklahoma's offense was weak; the Jayhawkers moved 65 yards to threaten a score, the Kansans had nothing to cheer about.
Nothing in the game that is. But another Jayhawker group, th e marching band directed by Prof. Russell Wiley, gave the fans plenty to cheer about as they practically stole the halftime show from the "Pride of Oklahoma"—the OU marching band. Actually it would be impossible for any group to steal the limelight from the Sooner band before the home crowd, but the Kansas organization put on a great show.
Changing from their almost traditional slow gait to a quick-stepping, precision outfit, the band put on "A Day in the Life of a College Professor" before the Dads' Day crowd of 42,500. The same show with a few variations, will be presented Saturday in Memorial stadium when Southern Methodist university invades for a game.
Included in the show was a 70-root-high professor who winked, smiled, and frowned as the college students came up with different ideas.
Three special trains brought fans to the game as well as many chartered buses from scattered points in Kansas and Oklahoma.
The crowd was, especially slow in filing into the huge stadium and with only 20 minutes left until game time it is doubtful that there were more than 20,000 in the stands. But the stands filled rapidly after that until only the corner seats were unfilled.
Bolstering the Kansas rooting section was the 7-foot-high Jayhawker decked gaily in the red, blue, and yellow colors of KU.
Despite the fact that the season is now half over, Saturday's game was still played in shirt-sleeve weather. The temperature in the Norman bowl was in the high 80s and the Sooners once again were playing in their short-sleeved jerseys instead of the conventional type.
Oklahoma equipment men were kept busy changing the uniforms as the lighter material tore under the strain.
Four Students Hurt In Sunday Wreck
Four University students were injured in an auto wreck Sunday in Oklahoma City. They were Laura Ann Schutz, college senior; Herbert Dye, business senior; Martha Jo Johnson, college junior; and Fred Van Bebber, business senior.
The accident occurred at 9 a.m. Sunday at an intersection. 17-yr-old youth was going about 50 miles an hour and hit the car Van Bebber was driving. The car rolled over and hit a telephone pole.
Miss Schutz, who suffered a bad cut on her head, still is in an Oklahoma City hospital. The others were released. Van Bebber, bruised, returned to Lawrence Sunday night. Miss Johnson, who suffered bad lacerations on her arms and legs, and a bump on the head, and Dye, suffering from shock, are still in Oklahoma City.
The car, belonging to Miss Johnson's parents, was almost demolished. The two couples had gone to Oklahoma City Friday afternoon to attend the KU-Oklahoma game. The women are members of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorcerity; Van Beber is a Sigma Chi, and Dye is a Delta Upsilon.

Relays Committee To Seek Members
One of the main forces in the presentation of the Kansas Relays during the past years has been the Student Relays committee. Applications will be received this week from freshmen men interested in serving on the 1954 committee.
The committee, which holds the responsibility of administrating all phases of the Relays program, will select six new members.
Selections will be made following a written application by each candidate and after an interview is conducted with each.
Bob Pall and Clarke Keys, committee chairmen, emphasize that candidates for the committee should not be athletically inclined to the extent that they may be candidates for a varsity team. However, experience in promoting of, or participation in, extracurricular activities in high school, particularly athletics, will be considered an asset
The deadline for the receipt of written applications is 4 p.m. Friday. The interviews will begin the next week.
Applications should be addressed to the Student Relays Selection Committee, co Athletic Office.

United States, Britain and French foreign ministers addressed to Moscow identical notes which dealt primarily with a discussion of treaties for Germany and Austria, but referred also to the Russian proposal for a five-power conference including Red China.
The three Western powers said they always were "ready and willing to discuss the underlying canes" of world tensions but wished to do so under conditions "which offer reasonable prospects for positive results."
The notes reminded Russia of plans already underway for the political meeting on Korea and said:
The object of the conference on Korea is to remove one of the major sources of tension in the Far East, thus opening the way for an early peaceful settlement of other international problems now existing in this part of the world, the notes said.
"All the five governments mentioned in the Soviet note could be represented at this conference which it is hoped will meet at an early date."
The note suggested the Allies would insist that any conference on the Far East be confined to Korea.
The Peiping radio broadcast today that Communist China and North Korea have accepted a ceasefire at Paimunjum Oct. 28 to discuss arrangements for the big political conference.
A foreign office spokesman denied officially a report published in the United States that the Western allies reached a secret agreement at the conference of their foreign ministers here to turn the Korean conference into a meeting of the Big Five plus North and South Korea.
This would have meant excluding the UN allies of the Western Big Three from the conference.
Farmer Rueful
The rival Yugoslav and Italian claims to Trieste threatened to junk the plan of the three allied foreign ministers to hold a five-power conference on that issue.
Flag Returned, All's Serene Again
By STAN HAMILTON
The KU flag is again flying over Fraser hall—and none the worse for wear.
You didn't know it was gone? Neither did 99.9 per cent of the rest of the student body until it was returned from "up the river."
A trio of Kansas State students, apparently trying to stir up a little pre-football spirit, last Wednesday abscinded with the huge banner. The campus police, although not catching the scoundrels red-handed, did get a view of their car license number which brought about the apprehension.
The campus police this morning gave full details of the escapade. Police said they saw someone snoping around Fraser late Wednesday but did not give much thought to the matter--after all, anyone who wanted the blue flag with the large KU letters on it would first have to break the lock on the door to get into the room where it was housed and second, would have to break open the case containing the flag.
Later that night, after the flag had been lowered for the night and had
been locked safely away in its case, police got a call to quell a disturbance in the West Hills district. You guessed it—no disturbance, and upon their empty-handed return to the campus they discovered a trio of culprits hustling from Fraser to a neaby parked automobile.
The police rushed to the scene, but the villains made their get-away by speeding wildly out of town—but not before sharp-eyed officers glimpsed their license number.
KU police lulled the thieves into a sense of false security and did not call K-State authorities until Thursday morning. They talked to Phil Sorenson, assistant dean of students at Manhattan, who contacted the guilty parties that afternoon.
Mr. Sorenson phoned Laurence C. Woodruff, KU dean of students, who said if the boys would pay for damages to the room in Fraser he would drop the matter.
One of those involved, who said
One student involved said he was told if the flag was returned to Mr. Sorenson by 2 p.m. that day no charges would be pressed, so promptly at 1:30 p.m. Mr. Sorenson had the missing article.
the three intended to keep the flag until after the Nov. 7 football tilt between the two schools, ruefully added he was sorry about only one thing—that they were caught.
