GIANT PRE-GAME PEP RALLY—One of the biggest pre-game rallies ever held on the campus preceded the Kansas-K. State game Friday. Coach Phog Allen was principal speaker at the rally, held in front of Strong hall. It was at this rally that the note bearing the chancellor's forged signature was read. The note said no classes would be held today if the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats. Big Seven rules, however, prohibit school holidays for athletic victories. —Kansas photo by Jack Long.
KU Captures Trophies In Intramural Tourney
University teams won two out of three first place traveling trophies at the Big Seven Intramural tournament held at the University of Nebraska Friday and Saturday.
First place awards were won by KU in ping-pong and in chess. Colorado's two teams tied for first place honors in bridge. Nebraska and Kansas State were also represented at the tournament.
Fred Chen, college freshman; Alvin Herrington, college senior; and Chruby Clowers, college freshman, represented KU in ping-pong. They won six out of nine matches each to capture team honors and to tie for second in individual competition. Walt Gharmernierian of Kansas State won nine out of nine matches to win individual honors but his two team-mates won only one game between them so their team placed last.
Chess players for KU were Henry Georgi, business junior and Edgar Marinhu, college sophomore. They won the first place chess trophy. This is the first year that chess has been included in the journey.
Colorado won the bridge event with Kansas State placing second and KU third. Each school was represented by two teams. John McBride, college senior; Clay Roberts, business junior; Dean Darling, engineering junior, and William H. Edmunds, college senior, played for Kansas.
They got off to a slow start in the morning but made a terrific comeback in the afternoon, winning 13 out of 16 boards, but could not make up for the morning's losses.

News Roundup
Cuban Presidential Palace Surrenders After General Seizes Control Of Army
Havana, Cuba—(U.R.)—Gen. Fulgencio Batista, Cuba's "President Maker," seized control of the Army in a pre-dawn coup today and the presidential palace surrendered to his troops at 8 a.m. (CST).
Armored cars followed by truckloads of infantry converged on pallets, where apples were appled immediately from windows and the roof. Not a shot was fired.
Two policemen were reported killed and several persons wounded in a brief outburst of machine gun fire from the palace, in the heart of Havana, before it surrendered.
Sources said President Carlos Prio Socarras, against whom Gen. Batista rebelled, and members of his cabinet were on the way to the grim Cabana fortress across the harbor from the city.
The fortress, whose guns dominate the capital, was reported under command of Gen. Francisco Tabernilla, an old Batista man, and it was indicated that Frio had gone there to negotiate a surrender—or, if possible, an agreement short of surrender.
NYC Railway Nearly Paralyzed By Strike
Chicago — (U.P.) The vast New York Central railroad and three of its subsidiaries were all but paralyzed today by a strike of three railroad brotherhoods.
The bottleneck was at St. Louis. About 500 workers on the Terminal railroad, which handles all switching into the city's Union station, walked off their jobs. All traffic east was blocked and trains to the south-west and west were delayed.
KC Truck Operations Halted By Walkout
Kansas City, Mo. —(U.P.)—Truck operations between Kansas City and other cities were virtually halted today when 500 employees of local cartage companies, who haul freight from railroad freight houses, and 2,000 over-the-road city pick-up drivers, who haul freight from truck terminals to local destinations, joined in a walkout over union contracts.
Over-the-road drivers said they would not cross the picket lines established by the local drivers.
Semi-trailer trucks were parked along the highway at several Kansas ports of entry, by over-the-road drivers who refused to bring the vehicles into strike-bound terminals here.

General Says Russia Gives Reds Weapons
The official statement clearly showed why the United Nations does not consider Russia a "neutral" in the conflict and why the UN opposes Russia as one of the "neutral" truce supervisors.
Tokyo—(U.P.)-Russia and her satellites are providing most of the weapons used by Communist forces in Korea, Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's headquarters said today.
The report excluded mention of soviet-built aircraft flown by the Communists in Korea.
New York—(U.P.)-Police searched today for a scared escaped convict as the slayer of the hero in bank robber Willie Sutton's capture but they did not rule out a theory that a self-appointed avenger shot Arnold Schuster, 24-year-old informer.

More than 150 plaincloathemes and uniformed patrolmen combed the city for Frederick J. (The Angel) Tenuto, convicted killer who climbed over a Philadelphia prison wall with Sutton in 1947.
