Blanks Cinch Championship; Beat Kappa Sig
The Blanks defeated Kappa Sigm 7-3 in a crucial weekend game, dropping them from the ranks of the unbeaten in the B division of the men's intramural softball tournament.
The victory gives the Blanks uncontested leadership of the league because the outcome of the two remaining B league games cannot affect their standing.
The Kappa Sigs bunched their hits in the second and fourth innings to account for their five runs. The Blanks scored in all innings except the fourth and the sixth.
Grass, of Kappa Sigma, singled in the second inning and stole around to score. Brenza walked and stole second and three men fanned. In the fourth, Reed, first up, was walked. Jarden doubled scoring Reed and Preston doubled, scoring Jarden.
Collins started the scoring for the Blanks when, after he had singled, Talley's triple brought him in. In the second, Blanton tripped and stole in, and Burch was walked. He scored on Jarrett's single.

Housemothers Piece Quilts, Sew as Their Share in War Work
Meeting every Monday at Myers hall with Mrs. Dean Alt, president, presiding, the Housemothers' association has pieced 34 quilts from woolen materials, lined and tied them, recovered one down quilt, and repaired two coats.
On their record since November are 15 dresses for Philippine children, and 24 chair backs for patients at Wadsworth hospital.
The association has purchased some of the materials used, and others have been supplied by the Bundles for America organization, under which the work has been done.
Previously it has been the custom for the association to award a scholarship annually to a student. This year, feeling that students had greater opportunities for helping themselves, the members contributed their limited means for materials for the war emergency.
Former Graduate Awarded
Air Medal and Oak Leaf
Second Lt. Elden E. Williams, a former graduate of the University whose home is in Lawrence, was recently awarded the Air Medal and an Oak Leaf Cluster for "meritorious achievement while participating in combat reconnaissance" in the European Theater of Operations.

Ens.McGonigle Visits Campus
Ens. Lester McGonigle, former College student in 1942, was a week-end visitor in Lawrence. Ensign McGonigle, Potwin, recently received his commission as deck officer from Northwestern university. He left last night for Miami, Fla., where he will be stationed.
While at the University he lived at Battenfeld hall.
Faculty and staff at L.S.U. has subscribed to over $13,000 in bonds for the Seventh War loan drive.
FIFTEEN---as one expressed it, "I guess it is all over with Hitler now. Perhaps it will be as it was before 1933 only I hope there won't be as much unemployment." However they were not certain as to Hitler's death.
From Peasant Class
(continued from page one)
They are from different parts of Germany-Bavaria, Austria, Berlin, Halle, Leipzig, and Memel in Lithuania. The deeper tanned one were in the Afrika Korps. One of the prisoners said he had been captured in Rumania and another said he had been on the long trek to and from Stalingrad.
The prisoners for the most part are from the peasant class but a few are highly refined and educated, Mr. Anderson said.
One claimed a love for America while another complained of the heat and asked whether it would get hotter. When asked whether they thought they would go back to Germany soon one answered it did not go so well with them now but they would probably be going back soon because there are three million unemployed persons now in the United States that need the jobs we are doing."
One of the prisoners pointed to Fraser hall and asked whether it were a "gymnasium" which in Germany means a secondary school. They expressed no surprise at the V-12's attending school because in Germany all the students wear uniforms of some kind, Mr. Anderson explained.
The prisoners do not like American food but they praised the American cigarette which they do not get now.
Like Cigarettes
American invaders of Japan's home islands will encounter a very narrow coastal plain, a mountainous interior, and a severe climate. Prof. W. W. Davis, chairman of the history department, said recently.
Prof. W.W.Davis Applies Studies of Japan To Advantages of An Invading Army
Professor Davis travelled in Japan in 1934 and studied that far eastern land both before his trip and after.
"The northern part of the island of Honshu, the largest of the four main islands, suffers severe winters, while the southern part, and Hokkaido, the southernmost of the main islands, have a semipropial climate."
"An army landing on Japanese beaches," he said, "would find itself facing steep mountainsides within 10 miles from the seacoast. Islands Have Varied Climate
There are geographic factors operating in favor of an invading army, however, according to Professor Davis. The abruptness of the mountains force the people to live in the valleys and along the coast. Majority Live Along Seacoast
"Eighty per cent of the Japanese people live within 20 miles of the
Geology Students In Ozark Field Trip
Thirteen geology majors took the annual Ozark trip during the week-end. Professor L. R. Laudon announced today.
Students who went were Lavon Peters, Virginia Carter Perkins, Charles Ise, Harriet Morritz, Oliver Hayward, Ruth Fudge, Sara Jean Scott, John Strandberg, Jess Roy, Mazzie Lane, Leslie York, Richard Markley, and Carol Long.

Sculpture Photographs To Be in North Gallery Of Thayer This Month
Photographs of sculptures in Brookgreen Gardens will be featured in Thayer museum during June in the north gallery on the second floor.
Brookgreen Gardens is an openair museum of the native flora and fauna of the Stoutheast, and American sculpture, created on the estate Mr. and Mrs. Archer M. Huntington near Georgetown, S.C., on the Waccamaw river.
Brookgreen Gardens was incorporated in 1932 and given to the people of South Carolina in care of a self-perpetuating board of trustees. An endowment fund of over a million dollars was provided for its upkeep.
Two hundred and fifteen works by prominent American sculptors have a unique setting along garden walks, among pools and fountains, and in the Museum of Small Sculpture.
These photographs of some of the sculptures in Brookgreen Gardens were presented to Thayer museum by Mrs. Huntington.

sea. Most of the population could be bombarded by warships standing 10 miles off the coast," Professor Davis explained.
The many rivers are not serious barriers in the opinion of Professor Davis. He pointed out that none of them are more than a few hundred yards wide after two or three miles inland.
The island railroad systems would be particularly vulnerable, he said, because the steep mountains force the roads along tortuous routes and through many tunnels.
Violent Earthquakes Once a Day
In the many mountain chains are 50 active volcanoes and more than 100 quiescent cones, with numerous hot springs districts, Professor Davis said. Earthquakes that most people would call violent come at an average rate of one a week, while seismographs record more than one a day in most sections of the islands.
Professor Davis secured leave of absence from the University for his trip to Japan. Through a mutual friend he met the Japanese ambassador in Washington, Hirosi Saito. Ambassador Saito furnished him letters of introduction to persons of influence in Tokyo, and obtained from him diplomatic and military passes that enabled Professor Davis to travel to all parts of the islands and to the battleships in Manchukuo.
Slight Damage In Collision
Slight damage to both cars resulted in a collision on the campus near the law building Wednesday afternoon.
A car parked at the curb was driven into the line of traffic by Kay Townsend, College junior, just as a car driven in the same direction by James Baska, Engineering freshman, passed and started a left-hand turn.
