'Lack of Sleep Poor Diets Cause Much Sinus Trouble'
—Roberts
Poor diets and lack of sleep are to blame for much sinus trouble, states Dr. Sam E. Roberts, professor of otolaryngology at the University of Kansas Hospitals, in a recent report based on observation of 4,000 sinus patients over a period of eight years.
Dr. Roberts' report was made to the American academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology at a recent meeting of that organization in Chicago.
If the average person would sleep more and eat the right kinds of food, there would be less sinus trouble, according to Dr. Roberts. The right foods are easily available, but they are not the ones found in bakery shops, candy, and drug stores, he says.
"The 'no breakfast habit' is another item that makes it no wonder that we are a nation of sinus sufferers." declared Dr. Roberts.
"People with poor appetites tend to select high carbohydrate foods of low vitamin content. There are those who argue the average American
Reynolds - Moffett Rank Third - Seventh In Big Six Scoring
Gordon Reynolds and Charles Moffet, fancy shooting K.U. forwards, both placed in the first ten in Big Six individual scoring, according to records released yesterday. Reynolds scored 105 points in the ten games for a 10.5 points per game average to place third, while Moffett's 90 point earned him seventh place.
Jim Myers of Iowa State netted top honors with a 13.1 points per game average in ten games, and Art Peterson, star of the cellar dwelling Nebraska Cornhuskers, finished in second place with a 12.4 average. Peterson was in first place until passed by Myers in the Cyclones' last game of the season.
Though no new records were set Charlie Moffett's 29 points scored against Missouri in the Jayhawk's last home game was easily tops in individual performances for the season, the total near the Big Six record.
U. High Advances In Regional 'B' Meet
The team will meet the Edwardsville quintet tonight. Both teams have won all of their games except those with DeSoto. Other games in the opening brackets of the tournament gave DeSoto a 52 to 29 victory over Troy; Edwardsville won over Louisburg, 52 to 27; and Spring Hill defeated Linwood, 55 to 24.
University High moved into the semi-finals of the class B regional basketball tournament at Washington Rural last night by defeating Highland 47 to 43.
Two games in the class A schedule will be played at Washington Rural tonight. Rosedale meets Turner, and Washington Rural will play Bonner Springs.
diet is ample. I will agree that ample food is available even under rationing and at modest cost at our grocery stores, fruit and vegetable markets," his paper to the academy read.
His report also stated that fatigue has been present to some degree in 87 per cent of his adult patients. Too little sleep is a bad habit, he said.
"With little rest," he continued,
"you cannot expect to have a healthy mucous membrane or an alert brain and yet be free from aches and pains."
'Fireball' Supply Line Deliveries Sparked by Three Jayhawkers
Three Kansans, two of whom attended the University, Lt. William K. Swinehart, Topeka; Lt. Earnest J. Buckles, Jr., Garnett; and Flight Officer Carlos C, Spikes, Hutchinson, are helping achieve a new transportation triumph in the Fireball express.
Lt. Swinehart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene V. Swinehart, 4153 Cessna Drive, Wichita, attended Lawrence High school and received an AB degree in journalism at the University. Before entering the AAF, he was advertising representative for Capper Publications, Inc., Topeka. Lt. Swinehart is a pilot with 1,000 air-hours and 22 over-water deliveries.
The Fireball, a winged supply line,
is backstage reason for much of the
success of our air and ground forces in China. From the AAF Air Transport Command's Miami Army Air field, hub of Carribbean division routes, giant cargo planes speed vital war material, mail, medicine and men to the China-Burma-India theater of war. ATC's Fireball Express planes, now flying a million miles a month, have chalked up nearly 40 million ton-miles since Nov. 16, 1943, and have spanned the Atlantic more than 2,000 times.

Bv EARL BARNEY
An open letter to Mr. C. E. McBride:
Dear Sir: We note with mixed emotions your sport column of March 7 in which you compare the presentation speeches made by E. C. Quigley, athletic director of the University of Kansas, and Dale Arbuckle, acting director of the University of Oklahoma, during the awarding of the Cunningham and Lyda track trophies at the Big Six indoor track meet last Saturday.
A Crack at Quigley
We don't intend to question the veracity of your information; it is by all means correct. However, the method of presentation is another thing. Your cleverly worded commentary takes a very definite lefthanded crack at director Quigley, one of the most liked and respected men in collegiate and professional sports.
You offer no reason whatsoever for the stand you take. Moreover, you make no attempt to explain the remarks which the two men made. Take Mr. Quigley's statement for example. According to your report, he stated to Rick Arlen, Iowa State miler: "You have won this trophy for two years, Rick, but I hope a Kansas man beats the devil out of you next year."
Mr. Quigley would be the last person on earth to make such a statement with any degree of hatred or reluctance. Naturally, anyone presenting a memorial trophy inaugurated by his school to an athlete from another school would
Students Can Still Make Appointments for Physical
On the day of enrollment for the new semester, 60 students were given their physical examinations at Watkins hospital. Those who enrolled after Monday, March 5, will have opportunity to report to the hospital during some free hour to make a special appointment for their physical examinations.
McMorris Stresses R.O.T.C. Importance

possess some sort of a hope that the trophy would "come home" next year. Otherwise the awarer could hardly be considered a normal human being.
K. U. Gets a Raw Deal
Perhaps Mr. Quigley shouldn't have spoken the sentiment which Mr. Arbuckle undoubtedly felt, Still, it was undoubtedly said as part of a prepared speech to liven up the monotony of the evening.
K. U. coaches are taking somewhat of a verbal beating these days, but most of it has come from other regions. It is bad enough listening to their remarks without having to take it from our own region also. So please, let's leave the derogatory remarks for someone else.
We'll Take Scott
The Associated Press and United Press all-Big Six basketball teams showed general agreement with respect to first string players except in the case of Kirk Scott, star Kansas guard. Instead, Jay Payton, K-State back-courter, was named. As to a comparison of merits of the two players, Scott played rings around the Aggie star in both conference games between the two schools. Although Scott didn't tally as many points during the season as Payton, we see no reason for dropping the Newtonian all the way down to honorable mention. We'll take the UP selections and wallop the best aggregation that AP or anyone else can muster, with "Scotty" doing most of the "walloping."

Flying Club Plans Three Hour Session In Air Each Week
"The first regular session of the Flying Club began at 8 a.m. today, announced William H. Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering. There will be three sessions a week giving each member three hours flying time each week. About 17 persons are enrolled under Charles H. McMillan, flight instructor at the airport. Mr. McMillan has a fine safety record, and is a very competent man for the position," said Mr. Simpson. Mr. McMillan is the manager of the local airport.
"The Flying Club," said Mr. Simpson, "is to be permanent, operating every semester as a regular part of school. The reasons for forming the club were to make it possible to obtain a pilot license at a reduced rate; and with the approval of the Civil Aeronautical Administration have a reduction in the total hours needed for getting a license."
Prof. Simpson also reports that the ground school class will begin next Tuesday. There are two sections of the ground school known as the A.E. 45. Primary ground school gives three hours of University credit.
Mr. Simpson advised that late enrollment in the club will still be accepted. Most of the members are University students, but townspeople over 16 years of age are eligible.
