Quigley, Sauer Remain Silent On Bowl Bids
"Don't put the finger on us. That subject is not even being discussed." E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, laughed today in response to a question concerning a possible New Year's day bowl game for University gridmen.
This much is certain. The athletic department has been contacted to find out whether or not the University would consider an invitation of one is offered. George Sauer, head football coach confirmed the rumor but felt he should not release the names of the bowls that have sent feelers to the University. He did say, however, that "they were minor bowls."

Predictions Could Be Jinx
"I would hate to jinx the team with any predictions because there are too many 'ifs' and 'maybes' at this stage of the season," he said. "The boys are out fighting to win every Saturday afternoon and that's the way it should be. Looking too far ahead could prove disastrous for us in the next several weeks."
If the team emerges from its struggles with the Oklahoma Aggies and the Missouri Tigers, then a discussion of bowl possibilities would not be hushed up. Sauer promised.
Prof. W. W. Davis, University representative to the Missouri Valley Inter-collegiate association, said that teams do not have to get permission from the conference to play in post-season games since a new ruling last year. He declared it was up to University officials to accept or reject any invitation.
Denends On Offer
Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager, declared that the possibility of Kansas accepting a bowl invitation would depend largely on what game, or games, were offered.
"There is no sense in travelers half-way across the country just for the sake of playing in a bow game," he commented. "Some of the little bowls throughout the country can only handle crowds of around 15,000 or 20,000 people."
Book Lending Is Not Legal
If you are one of the many students who have been asked "May I borrow your activity book for the K. U.-M. U. game?" you had better stay on the safe ground and let your friend find some other way of getting into the game. This is the advice of H. I. Swartz, of the business office.
"Students are warned that activity books are non-transferrable and illegal use of the books can lead to suspension from the University for whatever time the All Student Council sees fit," Mr. Swartz said. "Penalties are much the same as those imposed for parking violations."
Sophomore Meeting Changed
Mr. Swartz stated that the person borrowing the book is not the only one who is guilty. "The person loaning his book is guilty also and is subject to the same penalties."
Though not every book is checked at the gate, spot checks are made and if something is found to be amiss—well, what's the loss of one semester.
Little Man On Campus
the sophomore class meeting will be at 4 p. m. Wednesday instead of 5 p. m. as announced in the Daily Kansas Wednesday, Stanley Englund, class president, said today.
"I don't care if you ARE having an extra heavy run over there—"
Queen To Appear First At Rally
The Homecoming queen will step forth for the first time at the rally 11 a.m.. Nov.21, Fowler grove.
If present plans materialize, she will ride to the rally in the automobile usually reserved for President Truman's visits to Kansas City. Mo.
Old Doc Yak, the University medicine man who has been arousing student spirit at homecoming since 1913, will rumble up to the rally in an old medicine show wagon immediately after the queen has been introduced and some yells have been given.
Twenty Minutes For Randy John Moorhead will present the old physician. Twenty minutes have been allowed for the rally.
Twenty Minutes For Rally
Governor Carlson will be asked to present the queen to the crowd at the 7:30 p. m. rally, Nov. 21, in front of the WREN building.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, will introduce Dr. Roy Heil, Topeka, a K. U. quarterback in '09, '10, and '11. Because Heil is the same size as half-back William Fisher, Mr. Quigley hopes to present the two together to show the crowd that it takes more than size to make a football player.
Graduate Students To Lead Discussion
The Modern choir will sing the Alma Mater and the band will play five numbers. Coach George Sauer will conclude the rally with a short talk. Max Falkenstein and John Morehead are in charge of the program. Four thousand leaflets listing events for Homecoming will be distributed Friday in Frank Strong hall and the Union.

Red Outbreaks Gain Violence In Italy, France
Communist violence spread over France and Italy today paralyzing France's largest port, Marseille, ranging the streets of Naples, and terrorizing the industrial center of Milan. United Press reported.
Authorities in both France and Italy indicated mounting concern as the violence of recent outbreaks mounted in an apparent concentrated plan to wreck chances of the Marshall European recovery plan. Tie Up French Port
The action in Marseille follows a bloody invasion of the city hall yesterday by Communist demonstrators in which 16 persons were wounded.
Guards armed with tommyguns patrolled the streets and new army units poured into the city in expectation of more trouble. All Unions May Strike
In Marseille the dock workers, metal workers and seamen struck tying up the French port, and Paris workers at 137 flour mills went out on strike for a 20 per cent wage rise which will threatened the Paris bread supply.
The Communist-dominated General Confederation of Labor had scheduled a general strike meeting at which time presumably all unions will decide to stop work.
In Milan the Communist-led rioting sacked an anti-communist newspaper and attack a police station. The killing of a Communist two days ago was one of the reasons given for the trouble.
Tear gas and rifle butts were being used in Naples to break up Communist demonstrators ranging the streets. A newspaper had been wrecked during the night.
In three days of street fighting throughout northern Italy six persons have been killed, a score of newspapers bombed and burned, and hundreds of persons injured.

University Making Plans To Adopt Baby
Something new may be added soon at the University Home Management house, according to Miss Dararis Pease, home economics instructor and Home Management house supervisor. In addition to cleaning house, preparing meals and washing dishes, the girls will probably become proficient baby sitters.
The University is making plans to adopt a baby to live at the house next semester. The child would be acquired at an orphanage and would be exchanged for a new baby each three months.
Motion's ROTC Codets Are Taking Examinations
"Many universities have tried this plan and it seems to be very satisfactory," said Miss Pease. "The girls have the valuable experience of caring for a child and the child receives a greater amount of individual attention and love, which is necessary for the development of a healthy personality."
R. O. T. C. cadets in colleges and universities te country are taking nations this week, Col. K. E. Rosebush, professor of military science and tactics, said today.
From the results of the tests the army hopes to set up standards for cadets in the future, he said.
