NOVEMBER 29,1945
It's different you must admit.
But if you think our headline slightly on the corny side, we suggest you try rhyming words with a Russian atmosphere.
Today is the first appearance for "On the Fenski" and your editor hopes that up until its last showing, she never will be placed "on the fence."
Basketball Parades.
The Red and Blue quintet of Kansas has not made its way to the pennant roost for two years, but 1946 will see atomic power plus developed from the new squad.
Basketball practice has been in full swing for a month now and already most of the new men have been molded to fit the shoes of former court stars.
Owen "Hey, with a shrill voice" Peck, letterman of last year, remains one of the fastest moving "little" men on the team. His height is no hindrance for skillful manuvering down the court.
Wendel Clark, fugitive V-12 from Dennison, is displaying superior ability at handling the ball.
The terrors of the court have added "camera posing" to their extra curricula activities this week. Although none of the fellas would fear the on-rush of all the defense on the court, they definitely are shy of the camera.
Football History
Recently found in literary exploits (of football scores for K.U.) was this brief explanation of the origin of "crimson" of "crimson and the blue."
"A special excursion train will be run from Lawrence, and the students and football enthusiasts in general will attend the game in a body. Hoping to make the day a red letter one, criseman has been chosen for the colors of the eleven."
This paragraph was obtained from a clipping in the Kansas City Star of Oct. 31, 1891. W. J. Coleman, center on the first K.U. football team, kept a scrap book of sports affairs, and this apparently is the first mention of the adoption of colors for Kansas' athletic teams.

Schmidt Chosen '45 Grid Captain
BY NEAL SHEEHAN
(Daily Kansan Sports Writer)
Dave Schmidt, V-12 trainee from Milwaukee, was elected honorary captain of the 1945 Jayhawker football team last night at the annual football banquet in the Memorial Union.
Schmidt, a lean 163-pounder playing his first year of college football, turned in a complete season of outstanding play. On the defense his end was a stone wall, and on the offense he scored five touchdowns, four on end-around plays and one on a pass from Pattie in the Kansas State game.
He was named left end on three all Big Six teams, U.P., A.P., and Kansas City Star. Other K.U. players receiving honorable mention on the all-star selections were Geroge Gear, quarterback, Frank Patttee, salfback, Leroy Robison, fullback, and Bob Moore, tackle.
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel was the principal speaker at the dinner attended by team members, University staff members, and Lawrence businessmen. W.W. Davis, K.U.'s Big Six faculty representative, was toastmaster and Chancellor Deane W. Mallott, E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, and Henry Shenk, head football coach, spoke briefly.

X-Ray Process 50 Years Old
Chicago. (UP)—Fifty years ago, an obscure physic professor at the University of Wurzburg, Bavaria, covered a Crookes tube with an opaque piece of cardboard and observed a wierd glow reflecting from a piece of barium plantinocyanide paper on a nearby table.
That was the way X-ray was born and the eyes of the medical profession opened to undreamed of wonders.
The discoverer was Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a modest man whose previous life gave no hint that he was to present mankind with one of its great gifts.
Made Through Check
He was the first to learn that a ray could be produced which would penetrate materials resistant to all known types of light. The date of his discovery was Nov. 8, 1895.
With a cool restraint, Roentgen kept his findings to himself until experiment proved his conclusions indisputable.
Not until more than two months later did Roentgen announce that he had discovered a new invisible ray which could pass through opaque materials.
Curiosily enough, many could think only evil of the new ray which could "see" through almost

anything. A New Jersey assemblyman, whose sense of decency was aroused by reports that the ray could penetrate clothing, introduced a bill prohibiting the use of X-ray in opera glasses.
A London clothier cashed in on the public ignorance of the potentialities of Roentgen's discovery by advertising the sale of X-ray proof clothing for women.
