Phi Psi's Edge Out Delt Eleven In Second IM Football Playoff
The second playoff of the intramural football season was recorded Tuesday when Phi Kappa Psi eleven edged a plucky Delta Tau Delta team 7 to 6 after the regular game had ended in a tie.
Games will be played in all divisions today. Blanks play Navy officers on field one; Physical Education department plays Spooner Thayer on field two; Alpha Phi Alpha take on Wesley foundation on field three; and the 941 club plays Y.M.C.A. on field four.
All other games played Tuesday ended in 12 to 0 scores. Phi Delta Theta, defending champions, defeated Sigma Phi Epsilon; Tau Kappa Epsilon won over Kappa Sigma; and Phi Gamma Delta scored a two touchdown victory over Delta Upsilon.
In the overtime game, the Delta Tau's took the lead when they scored on a ten yard runback of an intercepted pass. The Phi Psi's knotted the count in the third quarter when Davis shot a touchdown pass to Mercer.
The Delta Tau's won the toss for
the playoff and chose to take the offense. They attempted four consecutive passes but all fell incomplete. The Phi Psl's gained more ground as a result of a completed pass after trying to gain via the ground route.
The Phi Delt's successfully defended their title against the Sig Eps by scoring two touchdowns in the first and third quarters. Sam Harris intercepted a Sig Eps pass and raced 25 years for the first score. A 30-yard pass from Quiring to Churchill put the Phil Delts in for their second touchdown.
The Phi Gams went scoreless until the final ten seconds of the opening quarter when Henshaw intercepted a D.U. pass on the D.U. 15 yard line and raced to the end zone. Johnson passed to Henshaw for the second counter.
Pep Club Party Honors Women
The Teke's scored on a returned punt in the first period and a pass in the fourth period to defeat the Kappa Sigs. Lithiumic tore down the field for 40 yards to score on the punt return, and LoPinto caught a 20 yard pass in the end zone for the final tally.
The Jay Jane Jamboree, open to all University women, will kick off for a two-hour run at 4 p.m. today in the Kansas room of the Union.
This get-acquainted party is an annual affair sponsored by the pep club as a courtesy to University women. Entertainment will include music for dancing, card games, and refreshments, Virginia Wickert president, announced at Tuesday's meeting.
A rush tea has been scheduled for 4 p. m. Tuesday to fill 12 vacancies in the organization.
Harmon Co-op, Watkins hall, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Chi Omega, and Jolife hall will have one candidate each. Miller hall has been allotted two, and five Independents at large will be selected. Members must have a minimum of 24 hours credit. Actual pledging will take place Oct. 23.
Plans also were made to place a float in the Homecoming parade. Jay Janes will meet again at 5 p.m. Oct. 16 in the Pine room of the Union.
Paul Box Heads ROTC Applicants
Qualifying examinations given the past week to the University's 89 ROTC students show a majority of high scores, Col. K. E. Rosebush said today.
Tests given to determine qualifications for advanced study were taken by three groups in the air corps, coast artillery, and infantry programs. Paul C. Box, engineering sophomore, made the high score of 179. The passing mark was 40.
The $25,000 home for the University's largest gun is nearing completion.
The addition to the east wing of the Military Science building will shelter a navy Mark 37 gun director controlling a five caliber, dual purpose gun and equipment, Condir. R. I. Baum, executive officer, said today.

Army general classification tests also were included as a preliminary requirement for officer training. A score of 110 was passing.
Equipment will be used to familiarize ordinance students with armament they will encounter aboard ship.
Dwight Deay Heads Statewide Activities
Twelve members of the traditions committee of All-student council will lead statewide activities in 1946-47. This committee headed by Dwight Deay, will describe and advertise the University of Kansas to high school students. Approximately seven faculty members will serve as an advisory board.
The Statewide activities committee will be in two departments, executive and correspondent. Two executive members will assist the chairman, and 10 correspondents will collect news from about 200 student reporters. Each reporter is to send news of what the native sons and daughters are doing on the campus to home town papers.
Another successful method for advertising has been to send first and second editions of the Jayhawker magazine to the 700 high schools of Kansas. A few of the larger schools received full issues.
In recent years, a display board has been sent to the schools for assembly programs. The board contains pictures and descriptions of University activities, sports, clubs, and campus life in general.
Thirty books on medicine were added to the library of Phi Bla Pi, medical fraternity, this week from the estate of Dr. J. G. Reed, who was graduated from the University in 1936 and from the medical school in 1941. He died April 18, 1945.

The endowment, which includes the latest published works in various fields of medical science, was made by Dr. Reed's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mont Reed, Larned.
Dr. Reed, a captain in the medical corps, served three years as a flight surgeon with the army air corps. He died of a tropical disease shortly after his release from active duty.
Jefferson City, Mo. (UP)—Missouri archers will be given a special three-day season this year to hunt deer. The bow and arrow enthusiasts will have a handicap on guntoting nimrods, who will enjoy only a two-day season. Archers will be allowed one buck under a special $3 permit.

Dream Highway Nearly Finished
Washington. (UP)—It will be at least two or three more years before automobiles will be able to roll over the Pan-American dream road all the way from Alaska to Argentina.
For 16 years, construction gangs have worked on the Pan American highway and today enough of the road is completed so that motorists may drive from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Oaxaca, Mexico.
During those 16 years the intercontinental highway has been acclaimed and attacked. It has seen its share of scandal and loss of life. It has been praised for conquering jungle's swamps and mountain peaks criticized for moving slowly, and lauded for monumental feats of road building.
Whatever the publicity, the road gradually forged through the Americas, overcoming each new obstacle. Today engineers say it will be a few more years before the goal is reached.
Then Maine and California license plates are expected to be spotted in Rio.
Right now there are only a few missing links, but among them some of the most difficult engineering tasks in the entire project. Uncompleted areas are in southern Mexico and Central America, where efforts are now being concentrated.
Experts say the next few years will be required to comulate a comparatively few miles. The time, they say, will be needed to blast roads through 10,000-foot mountains between Costa Rica and Panama and to master swamps between Oaxaca and the Guatemalan border.
What most United States citizens do not realize about the span is that the South American stretch already runs from the northern part of South America through to Buenos Aires and then north to Rio de Janeiro. None of the unfinished route is in the southern continent.
The Pan-American highway was dreamed up in 1923 during the conference of American republics at Santiago, Chile.
The conference advocated that all countries build roads linking their capitals. The following year Latin American engineers decided to construct an all-weather highway connecting South and Central America with the United States. In 1930 actual work began.
Since then the road has been fashioned gradually through climes from icey Alaska to steamy Central America and into South America, until today only the Mexican sections hold back its completion. When the United States built the Alcan highway as a defensive measure, it was connected with the original span to stretch the route to 14,800 miles from Fairbanks to Buenos Aires.
Ray C. Janeway, assistant director of Watson library, will represent the University at the Kansas Library association meetings to be held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Allis hotel in Wichita.
