Jayhawks Split Twin Bill in K.C.; Tigers Are Next
After rounding out their non-conference season with a split twin bill in Kansas City last Friday and Saturday, the eager Kansas Jayhawker basketball squad will resume intensive practice this afternoon in preparation for their first loop opener with Missouri at Columbia on Jan. 5.
A victory over Kansas State Friday night, 63-40, and a loss to a battling Missouri five on Saturday, 48-39, gives the Kansans a 4-2 margin over their rivals so far this season. The Jayhawks own two victories over Rockchurch, an even break with Washburn, a victory over Kansas State, and a loss to Missouri, Moffett in Top Form
The Jayhawks were at their best in trouncing the hapless Aggies in the first of the two weekend games. Although the game was ragged, both teams fouling more than was necessary, the Kanaans, led by veteran Charlie Moffett, put on a spectacular hitting show that left the Wildcats far in the rear. The speedy Peabody forward was in his best form of the season, tallying 25 points in the hectic battle. Everett Hill, Gordon Reynolds, and Kirk Scott netted 8 points, while Odd Williams tallled 12. Jay Payton was high man for the Aggies with 10 counters. Each team missed fourteen free throws.
The second game of the twin bill was not so successful. The Jays evidently exhausted all their scoring punch on the previous night, for they just couldn't seem to keep up with the Tiger scoring pace. Moffett was not up to par in the game, hitting only one field goal. He played only about one-half of the contest. Tigers Pull Away
The Tigers went into a 21-8 lead early in the game, and the Kanssens were never able to make up the deficit. With only ten minutes to play, however, the Jayhawks were just 5 points behind, but the Tigers pulled away quickly to ice the game. Scott hit 9 for the Hawks, Reynolds tallied 7 points, while Williams connected for 6. Kurash lead the Mizzoz scoring with 16 points.
The next home game will be with Nebraska on Jan. 16.

FIERCE BATTLE---continued from page one)
(continued from page one) pressed by an Allied staff officer on the western front.
In the war against the Japanese the tides of battle were in the Al-Tokyo area again and the Phillipies' favor. Superfortresses hit the pine-based planes and PT boats struck a blow against the Japanese naval force.
Yanks Strike Jap Naval Force
INKS STRIKE JAP NAVAL FORCE The number of attacking super bombers was not made known. The Japanese had claimed a force of approximately 50 planes made the raid.

Former Students Wed In Ceremony Sunday
The marriage of Miss Dorothy Louise Turner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William J. B. Turner, and Darl Kendall Smith, U.S.N.R., son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Smith of Springfield, Mo, took place at 4 o'clock Sunday at the First Christian church. The Rev. Warren Hile read the double ring ceremony.
The bride was given in marriage by her father. Miss Lois Turner, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and Miss Eloise Smith of Kansas City, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid.
The bridegroom was attended by Eldon Aarbous as best man, and Richard Matson, who also were ushers. Other ushers were L. M. Simpson and Boris Ivanhoe. All the men are V-12 students at the University.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith are former students at the University. Mrs. Smith has been employed at the Denver, Colo., Modification Center, and Mr. Smith is now a student at Chicago University in the naval reserve.
The couple left for a short wedding trip before going to Chicago where they will make their home.

(continued from page one) and Argentina have since betrayed their countries and lined up with Hitler. Hundreds of century-old churches and historic buildings have been destroyed. Millions of people in Europe have been killed by the Nazis, the Japs, and others. One estimate is that 40 million have died
But when the war is over, then everything will be fine, won't it—a nice, durable peace with democracy and the Four Freedoms and the Atlantic Charter and all the side dishes, including apple sauce? I gravely doubt it—all but the apple sauce. How can we even be sure that there will be any peace after the war? Side Wars Will Continue
Perhaps a natural optimist will say all this isn't a "dark ages", but it looks pretty dark to me. I'm naturally sympathetic; I never could bear up cheerfully under the sufferings of so many millions of other people.
The main circus will presumably be closed for a while, but there may well be a number of side wars in various parts of the world that some one will have to look after. Churchill seems to be supporting reactionary fascist or semi-fascist movements in Greece, Italy, Argentina, Spain, and Belgium. Roosevelt's policies are little better, notwithstanding Stettinius' rebuke of Churchill's Greek policy.
Peace is not Guaranteed
When the pot calls the kettle black, that doesn't shine up the pot appreciably. Fascism under new management for some of the "liberated" countries will not keep the peace. If, for instance, we help fascist Chiang Kai Shek drive the Japs out of China, that will not bring peace in China, when so many Chinese people are fighting for a more democratic regime. If we help Great Britain nail down her control of India, that will not bring real peace in India. If the British bolster up a fascist regime in Greece, that will not bring peace in Greece.
Collectivism will Reien
In short, the world is moving toward collectivism, so rapidly that perhaps some countries will have to choose, immediately after the war, whether their collectivism will be democratic, socialism, or communism, on the one hand, or fascism, on the other. Some of them are already choosing. Status quo will no longer serve.
I hope that the United States may have at least a few years grace, or
possibly a few decades. Not very far in the future, however, as history is measured, we will have to make the same choice, and today, although we are moving toward democratic socialism in some of our government policies, the odds appear to favor fascism. That will be the Dark Ages—some more of the Dark Ages that we already see about us. It

should fall short of the barbary of Nazi Germany, but it will mean severe restriction of human freedom. Freedom is on Decline
The era of extraordinary freedom which characterized capitalist growth during the period of free lands and expansion throughout the world—
roughly the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries—is now drawing to a close. We will see—we do see—more government intervention, more regimentation. If we fall under fascist domination this will proceed very rapidly.
Fascism Given Odds
The case is not quite hopeless. The widespread protest at Churchill's policy in Greece, and here at home the revolt over Roosevelt's appointments of state department officials who are apparently sympathetic with fascism, show that there some vitality in democratic forces.
We may follow the democratic trail, but I believe most students of the problem would bet on fascism, in one form or another. Whatever the form, it will surely be preferable to domination by Hitler.

Have a Coca-Cola = So glad you're back
...or offering a soldier the comforts of home
HOME! No place like it. And nobody knows it better than a fighting man back on furlough. Ice-cold Coca-Cola is one of the comforts of home that belongs in your home refrigerator. At the words Have a "Coke", refreshment joins the party. The good old American custom of the pause that refreshes is spreading in many lands around the globe—a symbol of our friendly home-ways.

It's natural for popular names to acquire frietly abbreviations. That's why you hear Coca-Cola called "Coke".
