WDAF to Televise Oklahoma Game Game of the Year Sold Out Long Ago Daily hansan UNIVERSITY
The game of the year, so far as Big Seven and KU sports fans are concerned, will be elecast in the Kansas City area by WDAF-TV, it was announced yesterday by station officials.
Washington — (U.P.) — Dwight D. Eisenhower headed today for his fourth-vote-getting raid into Dixie, intent on exploiting the Democratic breach over the tidalands oil issue.
Ike Again Bids For Dixie Vote
As he hit the campaign trail again after a weekend rest in Denver, the Republican presidential nominee let it be known through his aides that he would probably disclose his personal finances this weekend.
Gen. Eisenhower lined up a 2,000-mile airplane junket today through Wyoming and Oklahoma before winding up this evening with a speech in New Orleans. Tomorrow he moves over into Texas, which along with Louisiana is threatening to bolt the Democratic ticket because of resentment over Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson's position in favor of federal ownership of the off-shore oil lands.
The GOP nominee had the political battlefield to himself for the moment. Gov. Stevenson was at his Springfield, Ill., headquarters preparing for another airplane swing to the West Coast, starting tomorrow President Truman was back at the White House catching up with his desk work during a brief interlude between whistle-stop tours.
With the election three weeks away, there was an air of optimism in the Stevenson camp over what it considered a shift of "disillusioned" independents away from Gen. Eisenhower.
In other political developments Sen. John J. Sparkman, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, campaigned through Illinois.
Arrangements were completed last week for the live telecast of the Kansas-Oklahoma football game from Memorial stadium in Lawrence. It was necessary for University and, WDAF-TV officials to obtain the permission of the National Collegiate Athletic association's television committee in order to telewise the game.
The television beam will be carried to the Kansas City transmitter by relay stations at 12th and Oread streets and at Lenepe, Kan., about 17 miles east of Lawrence.
The telecast, which will go on the air at 1:45 p.m., will replace the regular game-of-the-week, the Cornell-Yale game. The telecast will be announced by Jay Barrington and Randall Jesse of the WDAF-TV staff.
The first University sports event to be televised was the Kansas-Bradley basketball game in March 1950. The game, played in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium, was carried by WDAF-TV.
The first telecast from Lawrence was the Kansas State-Kansas basketball game March 7—also carried by the Kansas City station. Seven other KU basketball games, played in other cities, were televised last year.
Interest in the game, a sellout for two weeks, increased over the weekend with Oklahoma's 49-20 massacre of Texas, and Kansas' 43-0 trouncing of Iowa State. Both teams are undefeated in play to date.
WDAF-TV officials explained that the same micro-wave relay equipment used for the NBC national telecast of the Texas Christian-Kansas game Sept. 20 will be employed Saturday.
The first Kansas football game to be videoded was the Texas Christian game this fall. That game was carried by the NBC-TV network as the first of the game-of-the-week series.

Following the suicide squad charge came a small but vicious attack by two Chinese platoons, the smallest attack against White Horse in a week.
The Chinese Commanders, stopped cold by the fierce ROK resistance, threw suicide troops into the fight for the first time in the White Horse battle.
A marble fountain to be given to the University in memory of deceased members of Chi Omega Social sorority, was approved by about 300 Chi Omega alumnae, actives, and pledges at the chapter's golden anniversary banquet Saturday.
Even as the fighting raged, Gen James A. Van Fleet, 8th Army commander, praised the South Korean 9th division for its "tremendous victory" in recapturing all territory lost in the bloody, week-long battle on White Horse mountain.

The South Koreans then took off in an attack of their own against three knobs on the northern edge of the central front height, the Red's last precarious toehold on White Horse.

The Student Union bookstore has been declared tax exempt by the State Commission of Revenue and Taxation.
The commission based its ruling on a law passed in 1949 which provides that all property held in trust by a corporation for the sole purpose of providing financial aid to any of the state educational institutions shall be considered tax exempt.
In an order mailed Friday to Douglas county officials the state commissioners said the bookstore is for the sole purpose of providing financial aid to the University.
The question on whether the bookstore should be taxed was taken to the state commission by Karl Klooz, bursar.
Mr. Klooz appeared at a commissioners' local board of equalization meeting to ask to have the bookstore taken from the assessment rolls. He said that activity tickets
When the 1952 assessments were made for the county, the county commissioners decided to include the bookstore on the tax rolls "because of its competition with local private establishments which is prohibited by law." The commission said that several Lawrence merchants had complained to them about the competitive activities of the bookstore.
Seniors Plan Class Activities
Plans for senior class activities were made last night at a committee meeting at the home of Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association.
The plans announced by Charles Hong, senior class president, are:
3. All-star intramural program.
1. A senior concoct
2. Senior day Nov. 15.
A. All star will be together at the Oklahoma A & M game Nov. 15 and will present the program between halves.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told the committee that a more friendly spirit among all the classes is needed and that it is not too late to start. He believes the intramural all-star program will help.
Mr. Ellsworth said this spirit was necessary so that alumni will want to get together as the years pass by. He suggested that the graduating class not be called the senior class, but the class of '53. When the students leave school they are no longer seniors, but they will always be of the class of '53.
An innovation in intramural programs has been introduced. Four all star teams will be chosen, one from each class. These teams will compete in three sports, touch football, basketball and baseball.
Chairman of senior committees are Charles Scanlan, college, activities; William Nulton, college, gift; Grace Endacott, fine arts, breakfast; Robert Stewart, journalism, ring; Keith McIvor, engineering, and Martha Shaw, education, prophecy; Betty Berry, education, history, and Max Whitson, college, dance.
Jerry Ann Hesse, college, publicity; Christine Johnson, education, reception; Dale Dodge, business, cap and gown; Charles Burch, journalism, calendar; Richard Klassen, business, alumni; Prenk Business, class day; and Jerry Brownlee, college, intramural manager.

are required to be shown before purchases can be made. He also said the store was a nonprofit venture for the benefit of students.
The commissioners advised Mr. Klooz to appeal to the state tax commission. He and commissioners Ray Ogden, Charles Banning, and Elmer Ousdahl, and E. R. Zook, secretary of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the commission on July 31.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, commenting on the decision, said, "The decision of the commission does not come as a surprise. The bookstore is designed to serve the basic academic needs of the student body and faculty and we will continue to operate it as an exclusively University project."
Mr. Zook said, "The ruling poses some very interesting questions. First, has the constitutionality of the cited law been tested in the Supreme Court? Second, if the operation is for the sole purpose of providing financial aid to the University of Kansas how can students and faculty participate in the benefits by receiving money rebates on the merchandise purchased?
"There also seems to be a dangerous precedent here in that the constitution prohibits the state of Kansas from being in business, and yet the ruling of the tax commission would appear to encourage the establishment of side corporations similar to New Deal corporations like the RFC, TVA, etc., for the sole purpose of providing financial aid to the University of Kansas and other state institutions and functions.
"Are we on the verge of adopting socialistic practices without defining them as such?" he added.
Mr. Klooz, when contacted by the Daily Kansas this morning, refused to comment on Mr. Zook's statement.
Two hundred and eleven students representing 23 eastern Kansas high schools were here Saturday for the 34th annual High School Journalism clinic.
