Jayhawks to Meet Rockhurst Tonight
The Jayhawkers journey to Kansas City tonight, to meet Rockhurst college at 8:30 o'clock in the Municipal auditorium.
Coach "Phog" Allen's starting five will be a powerful team, most of whom saw action in the victory over Washburn here Friday night. Charlie Moffett, who was released from the hospital last night, is slated at the center spot. At guard, Everett Hill and Herbert Heim, both of whom were fast and steady in the game against the Ichabods, will start; the forwards in the lineup will be Gordon Reynolds, suffering but not hampered by a stone bruise, and Whitey Carlson.

Reynolds and Carlson Outstanding
Carlson and Reynolds have been
outstanding in the Jayhawkers' two
previous starts. Reynolds snatched
the rebounds in the second Wash-
burn game, and the white haired
boy, Carlson, was hot on the basket
—netting 8 points, high for the evening.
According to Dean Nesmith, the eighteen men that will make the trip are Guy Aschcraft, C. Aylward, Jim Esska, Jim Briley, Norman Carlson, Dean Corder, G. A Daum, Jim Greath, Herbert Heim, Everett Hill, C. M Langford, Charles Moffett, E. Peterson, Gordon Reynolds, Kirk Scott, Odd Williams, Harry Woerner, and Owen Peck.
Hawks Have High Hopes
Coach Lew Lane's Rockhurst Hawks have their hopes up for a good season and will be eager to start it off right. They have about the same thing to offer in style and material, plenty of youth and fair height.
The starters for the Kansas City team will be picked from the following six: Brahm Gehe, Jim Bassem, Mel Pace, Gil Bourk, George Fitzsimmons and Jim Quinian. Gehe who was high scorer in for the Lilli'i in the Catholic High schools league in Kansas City, will be expected to shine for the Hawks.
Besides Dr. Allen, Elmer Schaake, assistant coach, Dean Nesmith, trainer, and Earl Falkenstein, athletic association secretary, will accompany the team to Kansas City.
Y.W.C.A. Organizes Two Commissions
Two new YWCA commissions, one to study the records of the life of Jesus and the other to discuss the problems of the wounded veteran and the civilian, are being started this week.
Marjorie Bentley, College senior from the state of Washington, will lead the study of the records of the life of Jesus, which meets at 7:30 tonight-in Henley house.
"The Veteran and You" will have Mary Ellen Halstead, College junior from New Jersey, as its leader. The latter commission will begin with a luncheon meeting at 12:30 Thursday in Henley house. Reservations for the luncheon should be made with Rachel VanderWerf at Henley house by Wednesday night, Miss Halstead said.
Both Miss Bentley and Miss Halstead say that their commissions are still open to any woman interested, and they hope that women on YWCA committees who would like to attend weekly meetings will join.
"The Veteran and You" intends to discuss and try to find solutions for personal problems of the members of the group as well as study the postwar planning being done for veterans. Mrs. Harold Pepinsky, wife of the vocational guidance director and a psychologists herself, will be in the group, Miss Halstead said.

Interviews Voted Legal in Big Six
Big Sixfathers voted to legalize interviews and initial correspondence in their annual meeting Saturday after years of hesitancy about the subject.
subject. The faculty representatives of the six schools finally acceded to complaints from Big Six coaches that the better boys went to greener pastures because of the conference ban on any attempt to sell prospective athletes on the merits of a Big Six school.
As a substitute for the ancient ruling, the faculty fathers have proposed a plan for an athletic scholarship program to be started as soon as possible. The full text of the statement on the subject issued by the representatives is:
"A members school may initiate correspondence and may initiate interviews with prospective athletes, provided, however, that loans, scholarships and remissions fees shall be available to athletes only on the same terms and conditions as said loans, scholarships and remission of fees are available to non-athletes at the said member school."
Other new resolutions included a return to the four official custom in fotball games, and the ruling that only seniors may take part in all-star games.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, and Dr. W. W. Davis, professor of history, were the representatives of the University of Kansas at the meeting.
Two Pictures Added To K.U. Hall of Fame
Two more autographed pictures of famed musical artists were added last week to the University Hall of Fame collection in the lobby of Hoch auditorium.
Marian Anderson, colored contralto, who sang at the University in 1938, and Caroll Glenn, violinist, who appeared on the annual Young American Artist porgram, have both sent signed photos dedicated to the School of Fine Arts.
The collection in Hoch auditorium is a valuable and important one of musical celebrities containing the autographed pictures of such artists as Paderewski, Kreisler, Rachman-inoff, Heifetz, Schumann-Heink, Lawrence Tibbett, John Charles Thomas, Richard Crooks, Mischa Ehlman, and Percy Grainger.

Delta Tau Delta lost to Kappa Sigma, 28-27, in the closing minutes of one of the two 7:30 games. The Delt's were ahead of the Kappa Sig's 27-24, with only two minutes to play, but two quick field goals finally decided the contest. In the other battle, Dick's Demons had everything entirely their own way in winning out over SAE, 23-9.
Answer if you aren't too embarrassed—or don't girls from Kansas embarrass?
Perhaps we all gripe too much—but then it's an old American custom and one of the things for which Lucky and his buddies are fighting. These mislead doughbys need a good reply, so address it to:

Eight Basketball Teams Open 1944 Intramural
A wide variety of scores and sit uations featured the opening of the 1944-45 intramural basketball season in Robinson gymnasium last night in four well-played games.

The Residence halls nudged out the Phi Gam's 18-17 while Kappa Alpha Psi won easily over the TKE's, 33-13, in the last two contests of the evening. In the first game the Residence halls led all the way, though the gap between the two teams was never very large. With but thirty seconds yet to play, the Phi Gam's got two shots at the basket, but were able to hit neither of them. Saffell and Kaufman hit six points each for the hall team, while Turner countered the same amount for the losers.
The slow TKE's were no match for the speedy Kappa Alpha Psi's colored fraternity, in the other late battle. The smaller K.A. Psi's literally ran around and through the battling TKE's to lead by a considerable margin throughout the contest.
Snow Puts Shoppers In the Mood
"Pardon me, may I borrow your finger," —and so while you have your thumb all bound up in the ribbon on a present for someone's Aunt Hattie, you realize that it is time you, too, got organized.
For those who have to be in the mood to get the Christmas spirit (where was that again), Saturday's snow has helped add the jingle bells touch. Of course, shopping isn't very hard this year. Stores have at least two of this article; more often none of that. Uncle Izzy never has worn argyle socks, but that's all they have, and maybe he'll give them back to you. Grandmother will flip when she sees the black chiffon nightie, but you have to give her something. And as for Jim down in Camp Godforget, well, what do you get a fellow in the service? Suppose that shoe shining kit will be too unexciting?
But the packages have to get in the mail, unless someone believes that Santa is going to pick them up and shoot them down the chimney. According to the post office officials here on the campus, it's high time for Christmas remembrances to catch the pony express. The office has been pretty busy handling packages, but for prompt delivery they advise you to get the rest on their way.
There will be the inevitable necessity for last minute shopping—the present that arrives from some soul you never dreamed would give you anything. As you fight your way through crowded aisles and frantically scan depleted counters, you will wonder what was so wise about the Wise Men who started this gift giving joy.

Phog's Third Combination--year-old freshman halfback at the University of Illinois, is slated to leave soon with a group of other Negro athletes on a U.S.O. tour of the fighting fronts. Young announced recently that he had left school and expects to visit London, Cairo, and Paris. The freshman has passed his pre-induction physical examination, but has not been called for military service.
Again, as was the case last year,
"Phog" Allen has done a lot of experimenting in hopes of finding a winning combination on the basketball court. Tonight against Rockhurst he will be starting the third different lineup in as many games.
In the first game of the current season against Washburn, Allen sent "Whitey" Carlson, Kirk Scott, Jim Brilley, Owen Peck, and Everett Hill against the Blue five, and the combination did not fare too well, perhaps from lack of collegiate experience. Last Friday night against the same team "Doc" started Hill, Carlson, and Briley as usual, but Herb Heim and letterman, Lou Goehring, received the starting call, too "Phog" worked 17 men into the game, using all possible sorts of combinations, and the Jayhawks finally came from behind to edge out the game Ichabod five.
For tonight Allen has another new lineup. Hill and Carlson will be the boys from the original five who will start, Heim is a holdover from last Friday starters, while Gordon Reynolds, co-hefer of the recent Washburn fray, and Charlie Moffett, KU. regular last season, would round out the five this time. This last combination has possibilities of becoming the most potent of any arrangement that Allen can muster. Owen Peck, high scoring forward, will surely see action during the game, as will Scott and Briley.

Scanning the news — Washburn dropped its contest to Kansas State by the close score of 33-27 last night at Topeka. The Staters went into an early lead and were never behind, although the Blues threatened in the closing minutes of the game. Don Pierce (Topeka Capital) writes that the Ichabods were not in the same form that they showed against the Jayhawks, and that their shots just weren't connecting. Your correspondent has yet to decide if the Blues are a potent five or the Wildcats are grossly overrated . . . * * *
