People react to various things in various ways but The Seawan-haka, student newspaper at Long Island university, really hit a startling note in the methods they employed to protest the administration's policy of curtailing all intercollegiate athletics as a result of involvement in the recent eastern basketball scandal.
Rv ALAN MARSHALL
As yet, none of the other schools involved in the scandal have taken any really drastic measures to clear up the situation. City College of New York is debating whether or not to return to Madison Square Garden but the decision is of little import. Many critics, notably Kansas basketball coach "Phog" Allen, have long pointed to the huge auditorium as a direct contributor to gambling activities.
Instead o f utilizing the famed "power of the press" by means of verbal blasts at their antagonizers, the Seawanhaka resorted to a far more subtle method. They simply didn't print anything at all. The paper included a full sports page—completely blank. Just what effect such tactics will have is not yet discernible but you'll have to admit it's a new idea.
Only Long Island took a definite stand to get at the trouble where it started. Of course, they were hit the worst—six L.I.U. players were nabbed—but the others got it bad enough. Probably the Blackbirds will be back in intercollegiate competition before too long, but one can only admire their action. They're fighting fire with fire.
Most schools simply issued a statement attesting to their amazement at the proceedings. One group of coaches ever went so far as to formulate an eight-point program described as an "anti-gambling" bill. But, generally, most schools were content to censure their contemporaries and quietly cast a wary eye at their own athletes, lest their private investments should fall into evil ways.

Bv BOB NELSON

Jack Stonestreet, big sophomore righthander from Wichita, is expected to get his first collegiate test Friday against the Hornets in the Jayhawkers' first home contest. This fast-baller has compiled an impressive semi-pro record pitching around Wichita and last summer with a topflight club at Kingsley, Iowa.

Sandefur, K.U.'s top hurler last year with an overall season record of 8-1, and Onestreet are expected to give Coach Ulrich two of the Big Seven's top hurlers this year.
Today's game with Emporia State has been postponed until Saturday because of wet grounds at Emporia. The Hornets will play here Friday as scheduled. Carl Sandefur will hurl for Kansas Friday with Jack Stonestreet taking the mound Saturday at Emporia.
