Malott Follows 'No Beer' Plan For TCU Game
The question of whether or not beer will be sold at the Texas Christian football game tomorrow night was evidently settled this morning when Chancellor Deane W Malott announced that the University does not approve the sale of alcoholic beverage at any inter-collegiate athletic contest.
A disput arose yesterday about the proposed sale of beer when the Rev. Albert B. Denton, secretary of the Kansas City Council of Churches, nomiled ee McPhail, general manager of the Kansas City baseball club, the council felt that sale of beer at Blues stadium should be banned during tomorrow night's game. McPhail Agrees to Cooperate
Mr. McPhail said the idea of halting beer sales sounded pretty silly to him but that beer would not be sold if Chancellor Malott or Dr. M. E. Sadler, president of Texas Christian, objected. The Rev. Mr. Denton immediately sent telegrams to the two men asking their attitude on the proposal.
on the proposal.
Chancellor Malott's reply said, "It has been the impression of our athletic officials that the beer has not been sold at this contest in the past and it seems hardly necessary to state that the University of Kansas cannot do that. It does not approve of the sale of alcoholic beverages at any intercollegiate athletic contest. As the host institution we of course expect to maintain the same standard of conduct in Kansas City as games played on our own campus."
Student Drunks no Worry
many 100,000 persons.
"We are not worrying about the student getting drunk but the teacher believes the students should not witness the spectacle of older persons getting drunk and bois-rouss," the secretary said.
The Rev. Mr. Denton said the beer question first came to his attention Wednesday and he felt that institutions would be approved by other council members. The council is composed of 129 Protestant churches with a total membership of nearly 100,000 persons.
Truck Slides Onto Annex
By Bibler
The truck, owned by Paul Robinson of Lawrence, was being used to haul dirt to the annex. It slid down the embankment when the driver approached too near the edge and lost control of the vehicle.
Construction at the Union annex was interrupted today when a truck driven by Warren Howard slid off the east embankment onto the roof of the annex.
Campus and city police were kept busy keeping back curious onlookers who gathered to watch the operations. It was necessary to summon a wrecker to lift the truck, and loaded in the soil.

Specialized Training Part Of Education, Malott Says
Only a "narrow and short-sighted" person looks with contempt upon specialized training within a liberal education, Chancellor Deane W. Malott said today at the 82nd annual University opening convocation.

The plan is being continued this fall for all students who want to make their contributions to the Memorial in this manner. New boxes have been placed in the book store for this purpose.
"Training for a specific task is essential. Yet each of us must live as an individual," he said.
Memorial Fund Approaches Goal

Students have contributed or raised in activities $8.717. Depositing of dividend receipts from the student book store into K.U. Memorial boxes was a profitable program which started late last spring. The first collection of receipts cashed during the summer brought in $194.24 for the fund.

Two sororities, Pi Beta Phi and Gamma Phi Beta, are raising money to buy inscribed bells for the carillon.
during commencement "Nine thousand enthusiastic students, well informed about the function and appeal of the Memorial, could influence alumni, parents, and friends to send in the necessary $150,000 yet required to start building operations," said Mr. Ellsworth.
"You men and women will shape the future of America," the Governor said. "This is a privilege, but also a great obligation. Work and work only will reach the goal of contentment for peace. Without the rosy visions of youth, the world would become mired in the quagmires of stagnation."
Governor Frank Carlson greeted the students, and said that in future years the memory of the University would be one to cherish.

Raymond A. Schwegler, dean emeritus of the School of Education, led the convocation in a responsive reading.
Chancellor Malott attacked "those who say that education is expensive." He justified the University operating budget of eight and one-half million dollars by declaring that "as a man is educated, he contributes more and more to the welfare of his community. Nothing is more expensive than ignorance."
"The only basic conflict at our University is the lack of time," the chancellor said, and added that the remedy is not "complete regimentation."
The solution of a too air-tight schedule is to provide students with a will to work toward a common objective or goal, a vibrant initiative to learn. You must provide yourselves with a sense of school tradition."
In a sense of school culture, Chancellor Malott urged all students to work toward a common goal and "obtain the rewarding, happy, and satisfying experiences which education has for you if you will accept it."
KU To Swap Passes In Tomorrow's Tilt
Sellout Crowd Of 21,000 Expected To Jam Kansas City Stadium
The Kansas Jayhawkers, co-champs of the Big Six, will match forward passes with the Texas Christian Horned Frogs Saturday night at Blues stadium in Kansas City, Mo., before an expected sellout crowd of 21,060. The kickoff to the 1947 football season is one of the spotlighted opening games in the nation.
Editorial
By WILLIAM CONBOY
Old Man Overconfidence has beaten more football teams than Notre Dame. Yet many K.U. students are giving him the ball on the Jayhawker 1-yard line and daring him to score before the season even begins.
Coach George Sauer's football bandwagon has a rocky road to travel before the season ends. Why slow its progress with an extra burden of excess optimism? The entire schedule is an uphill climb. We must be careful that our expectations are not so great that a disappointment could shift gears into reverse. It's no fun rolling backwards. Last year's basketball season proved that.
We know we have a splendid coaching staff and a very fine team—perhaps the best in the conference. But it's well to take off rose-coloured glasses for a while and look at a few figures in black and white:
The Jayhawkers last year won 7, lost 2, and tied 1. Yet they were outgained in total yardage for the season, 2407 to 2212. Five opponents outgained us, but only two won their games. This does in no way detract from the fine Jayhawker record. If anything, it proves that last year's team exhibited a drive and spirit which has never been excellel on the Hill. But it also demonstrates that football games are never won on paper, only on the field.
Let's not let the team down by expecting miracles. Let's give our support in the form of cheers, no boasts. Coach Sauer's team pulled the entire school through to a winning year in 1946. This year the students can help pull the team through by loyal support which does not assume victory, but fights for it.
It's Fourth, Not Third
In Thursday's University Daily Kansan we stated that the University guidance bureau is starting its third year. That is incorrect. The guidance bureau is now beginning its fourth year. ___
Want Grid Scores? Just Call KU 25
Another University Daily Kansas special service feature—the reporting of football scores as they come in over the United Press teletype—will be started for the second year Saturday afternoon.
The service is open to everyone, and scores will be given by telephone. Just call KU 25. The service, directed by Bob Dellinger, College senior, will stand at 1 p.m. and continue until 6 p.m.
The Kansan will resume its policy of full World Series coverage this year with posting of inning scores and play-by-play bulletins during the Series.
Coach George Sauer's huskies have been tagged as the team to beat in the Big Six by many experts, while the T. C. U. eleven has been rated as the dark-horse team of the strong Southwest conference this year. Both squads are potential bowl contestants, and therefore attention from both sectors is focused on their curtain-raiser in Kansas City.

Picking the winner is like naming the Republican nominees in 1948. But one thing is certain—there will be more offensive TNT this year than there was a year ago when the rivals battled to a 0-9 tie. Both offensive machines are well-oiled with aerial power which may turn the game into a wild-scoring affair. Each backfield contains a quartet of expert fingers, headed by Ray Evans and Red Hogan of Kansas and Lindy Berry and Leon Joslin of last year's T. C. U. team. 'Toughest of Season'
Both squads are expected to go all-out for this opening win. The Horned Frogs of Coach Dutch Meyer are stinging from a disastrous 1946 season, when they won only two games and dropped several close ones. The Jayhawkers have yet to defeat T. C. U., having bowed three times before last year in scoreless deadlock. Coach Sauer believes this game will be "the toughest of the season" for the men from Mt. Oread, partly because of this rivalry.
partly because they have been light in preseason practice for both teams. Three Jayhawkers will probably not see action. They are Terry Monroe, 211-pound tackle replacement for Red Ettinger; Ed Lee, promising sophomore tackle who has a jammed shoulder; and Leroy Robison, hard-hitting halfback replacement, who is out with a bruised shin. Two of Coach Meyer's possible starters are ailing and could upset the Frogs' passing plans. They are Jim Lucas, one of their four top passers, and George Boal, possible starter at right end.

The Texas Christian band will play during the game and between halves. It is noted for a popular style of modern "swing" music.
The University band. In last year's uniforms, will also play at the game. The band will leave Lawrence in busses at 3:30 Saturday afternoon in order to play at the pre-game rally.
