W W Davis Finishes 26 Years As Advisor
Prof. William W. Davis after twenty-six years of service as the University's faculty representative to the Big Seven conference has resigned. The resignation was effective Wednesday. Dr. Davis was appointed secretary of the athletic board and faculty representative to the old Missouri Valley conference on Sept. 18, 1922. He has held the position ever since that time except for some leaves of $ \textcircled{4} $ absence.
Dr. Davis came to the University as an assistant professor of American history in 1910. He is now the chairman of the department of history. During World War I he left for 18 months to serve with the 89th division in France. He was absent later for two years to study in Asia.
He is a Southerner who still has the Southern accent and manners in spite of his long stay in Kansas. He received his bachelor of science degree from Alabama Polytechnic institute at Auburn in 1903. He earned a doctor of philosophy degree from Columbia university in 1913.
The history professor's interest in football and athletics in general has been keen throughout his life. He says that the "T" formation is notew but that it was being used when he was in college at Auburn.
As far as football through the years is concerned Dr. Davis says "forward passing has added the mnu to the excitement of the game. Padding in the uniform of today is one of the big improvements and prevents a lot of injury particularly to the shoulders.
"The sport is certainly more fun for the spectator today than ever before. I don't know if the player has as much fun or not."
Dr. Davis was involved in the recent eligibility ruling of the conference which re-established the freshman rule. This made several Kansas football and basketball players ineligible for this year's games. Dr. Davis was emphatic in his opposition to the ruling he said was doublecrossing the athletes.
He was asked if he thought it would be better to have one man as a czar of the conference. "The service rendered by the present Big Seven conference faculty advisers in the last few years has received considerable criticism," he answered. "If a superb type of individual could be found it would be admirable. It would of course be difficult to find such a man. Such a system would be ideal though, if it could be arranged."
Dr. Davis has been succeeded by Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering as the faculty adviser. He will continue in the position of chairman of the athletic board.

Durant, Okla.—(UP)—The faces of 25 Indians were really red here after they got lost in the woods they are traditionally supposed to know. Even their excuse was pale—they got lost after they relied on a white man to lead them back from a tribal council weiner roast.

Capitols' Win String At 14
Rival teams in the Basketball Association of America today were considering the use of an atom bomb to stop the powerful Washington Capitols.

Employing the customary methods, the teams have failed completely in trying to sidetrack the Washington Eastern division with 14 vicington express, which is heading stories and no defeats. A chance at wrecking the Cincinnati
a chance at wrecking the caps' vice. The Providence Steamrollers had tory skein last night, but fell apart in the final period and took a 66 to 61 defeat. The 'Rollers, Eastern division cellar-dwellers, led at the end of the third period, 52 to 48.
Joe Fulks, the Philadelphia Warriors' scoring wizard, poured in 23 points against the Boston Celtics, but that was not enough as the Celtics took an 88 to 87 decision before 2.00 fans at Philadelphia. Rurged Mie Riebe led the Boston's with 25 tallies.

Irish-Trojan Year's Game
Los Angeles, Dec. 3—(UP)—To look at the Trojans of Southern California today no one would think they are a team consigned by the "experts" to defeat at the hands of Notre Dame tomorrow.
The players, students, faculty and the whole town feels that this is the year of upsets and Southern California has a fighting chance.
"Navy did it; Truman did it;
Southern California can do it too."
chanted the students as they held their last big pre-game rallies.
The cold figures, however, show Notre Dame is a 20-point favorite to chalk up its 22nd straight victory and 28th game without defeat. Only Purdue and Northwestern have scared the Irish as they romped toward another undefeated season. And in both of those games Coach Frank Leahy's players demonstrated they could come from behind to win.

Against that record Southern California was pitting the third best team on the Pacific coast, a team thrice defeated but one which held the top teams in the West to a victory by a touchdown or less.
But the setting for an upset was there just as it was back in 1931 when Notre Dame had gone 26 games without defeat only to lose to Southern California, 16 to 14.
