Hal Moore, the Jayhawkers' undefeated cross-country king, turned up Thursday with a pulled muscle and may not be able to run in the triangular meet with Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State in Manhattan tomorrow.
K. U. Coach Ray Kanehl said Moore certainly would not be up to par if he ran. Moore has won seven cross-country victories in Big Six competition.
If Moore is unable to toe the starting line at Manhattan, most of the burden will fall on Earl Jones, Kansas City freshman, who trailed Moore to take second place at Columbia, Mo., last week.
The meet will be held at 11 a.m. as t-1 preliminary to the Kansas State-Iowa State football game.
Kanehl will select the remainder of his 5-man team that freshmen Ed Lunsford, Darrell Brown, and Leon Ackerman; sophomore Ross Morrison, and Whitson Godfrey, 1944 Letterman.
Five Students Held By Lawrence Police
Five K.U. students were being held by Lawrence police today for questioning about a false fire alarm Thursday night, Chief Clarence Bliesner said this morning.
The five will be talked to this afternoon before any charges will be made, he said.
Woodrings To Attend
Harry Woodring, Democratic candidate for governor, and Mrs. Woodring will attend the K. U.-Oklahoma A. and M. game tomorrow.
The couple will remain for the "Woodring for Governor" dance tomorrow night and return to Topeka for a statewide radio broadcast Sunday.
Open House Postponed
The astronomy open house scheduled for tonight has been postponed indefinitely, Prof. N. W. Storer, who is temporarily confined to his home because of illness, said today. Professor Storer will probably return to his classes Tuesday.

Quick-Change Artists Play 12 Roles In Drama
Here are an even dozen of the characters in the coming drama club play, "Beggar on Horseback." Vincent Baker, left, plays a reporter, a butler, a waiter, a juror, a guide, a dancing teacher, and an usher. Vivien Rogers needs fewer costume changes, but still plays five roles of the cigaret-hat check-girl variety. (Kansan photo by Robert Line.)
Those Sunny Day Showers Near Library Come From University's Power Plant Pond
Those frequent "showers" on the Hill require no clouds—only a strong south breeze playing on the 32 sprinklers behind the University power plant.
W. C. Sanderson, engineer in charge of the power plant, explains the mysterious sprinkle near Watson library.
The sprinklers replenish the "pond", a small outdoor reservoir, with boiling hot water after its cycle through the steam system of the plant. The spray of water is diminished by the wind at the rate of 7,000 to 17,000 gallons daily, Mr. Sanderson said.
During a moderately calm year, the winds of Kansas waft away some 500,000 gallons of water.
Despite this quantity loss, however, there is only an average
monetary loss of about a dollar per day, Mr. Sanderson added.
Efficient operation of the power plant depends on the circulation of this water, which is chemically treated with lime and high-test chlorine. The solution prevents scale from forming on the inside of the pipes through which the water circulates.
Windows of the power plant are coated with a generous sample of the "pond's" spray, a visible reminder not to park your car in that particular vicinity on a windy day.
No efficient method exists of removing the spray of this liquid from windows, Mr. Sanderson remarked. The chemicals it contains have resisted many compounds suggested by the chemists, including sulfuric acid.
