Lewis Has Chance To Reduce Penalty
Washington. (UP)—Federal judge T. Alan Goldsborough suggested today that John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers union (AFL) might get off with a light penalty if they could convince him they acted in good faith in terminating their contract with the government.
Judge Goldsborough dropped the hint about penalties as Mr. Lewis' contempt trial went into its second week. The government sought to blast the union contention that the government was operating the soft coal mines under a sham arrangement.
Fight Cancels 'B' IM Title Play
The intramural "B" football championship game between Phi Kappa Psi and Beta Theta Pi. Nov. 21, has been declared "no contest" by the intramural executive board.
Both of the teams were ruled out of the championship, which will remain unsettled, after reports that two players engaged in a fight after the game.
The two individuals involved have been banned from further intramural competition, but since the fight was not a team affair, the two teams will be allowed to continue in intramural play.
Since the "B" league brought no points to competing teams, no replay of the championship game will be held. Phi Delta Theta. third place team of the four-squad league, will not be declared champion, and the title will not be assigned. Don Powell, intramural supervisor, said today

and that. . ."
Land Mines Kill Three
Jerusalem (UP)—Three British constables were killed today when their jeep struck an electrically-detonated mine on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway.
That's the sound of two students taking a final examination—in one of the University's most unusual courses.
Mr. Belt starts from scratch in building dueling experts. Most of his students have never even seen a foil before, let alone try to kill
The class is a part of the physical education department curriculum. There are four classes a semester, two in the first half and two in the second.
The students pair off, and, with flashing blades, (tipped with rubber) go into the first round of an elimination tournament. When one stands undefeated among his victims, he gets the A. The rest are graded accordingly.
The subject is fencing. To fill out his final grade cards, the instructor, William Belt, a physical education graduate student, stages a real old-fashioned dueling stages.
Even the left arm, curled up there, is useful. When you lunge, the left arm straightens out along the left leg. When you snap it back up, it's a lever to bring you out of harm's way in a hurry.
someone with it.
Then the class learns the parry.
Stand, like a ballet dancer, with the feet about a yard apart and at right angles. Squat slightly. Point the rapiper, in your right hand, out in the direction of your right toe. Curl your left arm up behind your head, and you're ready for battle.
It's not as silly as it sounds. You can move forward or back quickly and your body presents a narrow target.
The foil is a light, rapiper - like sword, with a "button" on one end and a hand guard on the other. The only other piece of equipment is a face mask which looks like an oversized orange juice strainer.
The students arrive in slacks and sneakers, and line up to learn the stance. Here's how it goes:
which is just pushing the other guy's blade out of the way. Some of the better fencers can wrap their sword around the opponent's and rip it right out of his hand.
That's what happens in the movies when Errol Flynn sends Basil Rathbone's steel flying through the air and imbeds it, quivering, in the family coat of arms.
Most of the students take the course here to improve their poise, others just like the sport. Mr. Belt would like nothing better than to have fencing develop into a real hobby on the campus.
Here's a bloodless way, men, to settle that argument about who dates the mutual girl friend on Friday nights.
That doesn't count in a modern match. What you have to do is hit the other guy five times in the chest. Counting hits is hard work—it takes four judges.
But if your rival has "advanced fencing" on his transcript, you'd better just take it to the student court.
Jayhawkers Finally Make Believers Of Experts In Taking Big Six Crown
The Kansas Jayhawkers finally convinced the experts that they shouldn't be rated consistently as the underdog and wound up the season with a convincing share of the Big Six title after a 20 to 19 victory oven the Missouri Tigers Thanksgiving day.
In winning their first Big Six crown since 1930, the Jayhawkers vaulted themselves into national prominence and a possible bowl bid. Although
most of the major post season games have been filled Kansas has been mentioned as a contender for the Sun Bowl game at El Paso, Texas
The Jayhawkers were given almost an even chance to win over the Tigers, but most observers held back and gave Missouri the edge by six points.
Even without a post season game the Kansas team of 1946 has come through with one of the best records of any Jayhawker crew and Coach George Sauer's aggregation probably has upset more crystal ball averages than any other team in the nation.
From the opening kickoff of the Thanksgiving day game until the last play of the second period it looked as if the Jayhawkers might have lost some of the drive which they had displayed in the three previous games against the Oklahoma Angles. Oklahoma, and Kansas State.
Missouri was running true to form and fumbling in her own territory, but Kansas wasn't capitalizing on the mistakes and scoring as against more formidable foes.
The Tigers reversed the order of things when they recovered Ray Evans' fumble on the Kansas 17 and scored in two plays to put them in the lead, 6 to 0. The attempted conversion failed.
Don Ettinger, who dished out and took more than his share of the punishment during the afternoon, recovered the first Tiger fumble on the MU. 36-yard line. The series of downs ended with Paul Turner making an unsuccessful attempt to boot a field goal from the 21-line line and Missouri took over.
Evans more than made up for his fumble, however, by tossing a 40-yard pass to End Marvin Small within 10 seconds after play began in the second quarter. Small took the ball over his shoulder and sped 23 yards for the touchdown. Fam-brough dropped back and kicked the extra point to put the Jayhawkers in the lead, 7 to 6.
Ed Egnatic, Kansas tackle, was on tap for the next Tiger mistake when he recovered MU. Quarterback Clarence Wyatt's fumble on the Kansas 11-yard line. The Jayhawkers couldn't get out of their own territory, however, and John Dewell, 210-pound fullback from Newton, came in and kicked the ball to the Kansas 40-yard stripe.
Missouri scored a few minute later when the Tigers' "secret weapon," Big Jim Kekeris, 284-pound tackle and backfield man, crashed through the K.U. forward wall from the 2-yard line to score after the Kansas defense had held the Tigers to four yards in three downs.
Shortly after the kickoff cane the play that rocked all 29,000 fans. Bertuzzi ran the kick back to the 36-yard stripe and on the next play Evans completed a pass to Quarterback Lynne McNutt good for 10 yards.
With only seven seconds remaining in the half and the ball on the 46-yard line Evans faded back to pass. He cut to his right looking for a receiver but couldn't find one and started to run. He cut up the right sideline for 15 yards, completely reversed his field, and streaked for the goal line.
The entire Missouri team was thrown off balance, and the men who originally went down to receive a pass came back to block. Evans kept running and crossed into the end zone standing up. Fambrough's kick was not good.
Missouri's Bob Hopkins fumbled in the third quarter when the Tigers were on the march into Kansas territory. The ball rolled back and Ettinger recovered on the M.U. 41-yard stripe. This time the Jayhawkers didn't miss and turned the fumble into a touchdown.
Schnellbacher fumbled McNutt's pass, Bud French recovered on the 8-yard line, and after McNutt drove

The debt on the Memorial stadium was reduced $5,000 during the weekend, the athletic association office announced today. The amount still owed on the stadium is $43,000.
In the fourth quarter Howard Bonnett, Tiger halfback, fumbled and Bertuzzi recovered on the Missouri 25. The Jayhawkers ran the ball to the 8-yard line but gave it up on downs and Missouri took over. From this point began the drive which ended in the last Missouri touchdown.
through to the 1-yard line, Evans went over for the touchdown. Fambrough saved the day with a good kick for the extra point.
Harold Entsminger, substitute M. U. quarterback, threw a long pass to Kenneth Bounds, Tiger end, who caught the ball on his own 45 and raced untouched for the score. The try for extra point was good, but M.U. was still one point from a tie.
With eight and one-half minutes remaining in the game, K.U took the kickoff and began a systematic drive through the Missouri defense in an effort to hang on to the ball.
Kansas then began to play some of the smart football for which it has been noted since the Oklahoma A. & M. game.
The Jayhawkers gained four first downs and repeatedly cracked the Tiger line even though they were not vitally interested in making yardage.
