Jayhawk Squad In Good Shape For O.U. Game
Injuries continued to stay away from the Jayhawks door today as the title-deciding game with the Oklahoma Sooners loomed only two days off. Charlie Moffett, star of the Aggie game, is carrying a game left leg; and Gene Long, first string guard, went home last night with the chills, but the squad was generally in good shape.
Sooner Coach "Snowter" Luster was elated over the return of Derald Lebow, triple-threat Sooner back who missed most of the Missouri game. He also smiled as Charlie Heard's familiar face returned to the Oklahoma backfield to bolster the Sooner running game. The fine back has averaged 5.4 net yards per carry this season. The general attitude of the Sooner eleven was cocky, as if they were already on the Big Six throne.
Coach Henry Shenk will continue to emphasize in further practices, and no more rugged drills will be held. A few new plays are being worked out, but the chances are that the Crimson and Blue will alternate between an air offense and a running game.
Kappas Win; Split Division
Kappa Kappa Gamma defeated the Chi Omega's last night, 29-20. Gloria Gray, Kappa, scored 9 points to lead the scoring for both teams. Gray, Lucy Smith, Maxine Gunsolly, Marjorie Free and Martha Lou Little get the bulk of the credit for the Kappa victory. Mimi Nettles, Margaret Kreider, Patricia Coolidge, Dona Burkhead and Betty Nichols played an outstanding game for the Chi Omega team. This victory for the Kappa's puts division II in a three way tie. The A D Pi's, the Kappas, and the Chi Oi's all have 4 wins and one loss. The Kappa's play the A D Pi's at 8:15 tonight. The winner of tonight's game will play the Chi Omega's to determine which team goes into the semi-finals from division II. The Gamma Phi's are playing the Theatas at 8:45 tonight in a return game to decide the winner of division I.
The IWW's cinched division III with a victory over Corbin hall last night, 33-29. Boehmer, Corbin hall, was high scorer for both teams making 8 points during the game. Brown, Remier, Boardman, Zimmerman and Jacobson were outstanding on the IWW team with Greenlee, Pike Boehmer, Adamson, and Gaston playing outstanding ball for Corbin.
The Pi Phi's won their game from the AO Pi's 31-24 with Prier going on a 10 point scoring spree for the Pi Phi's. Pat Sloan, Tindall and J. Sloan were playing right on their toes for the A O i's but Prier, Billings, Chubb, and Winn were just too much opposition.
Postwar France Will Be In Rhineland and Ruhr
London—(INS) —The zone to be allotted to France by the Allies as a postwar occupation area will be in accord with French security requirements and is in the Rhineland and the Ruhr.
The limits of the territory have not been defined in full detail, a Reuter dispatch from Paris said today, but it is understood the zone allotted to France meets with the approval of General Charles DeGaulle.

In recent weeks the well-worn Big Six closet has been delved into by news hungry columnists in search of some poor skeleton which hasn't been aired recently. The latest such inquiry has produced comments on the rules that prevent civilians from engaging in more than 3 years of competition, while the Western Conference has adjusted its rules during the war to allow men to play for four seasons. It has been pointed out that the Big Six, while aping the Big Ten in many ways, nevertheless differs in a way that hurts its own interests.
This variation will be only temporary, however. Isn't there another skeleton in the closet? It seems to us that the writers are overlooking one that goes further toward cutting down the ability of Big Six teams than any other. Perhaps they have considered it, but nothing has been said about it, at least to our knowledge. Of course, we are referring to the prevention of Negroes from competing in Big Six football.
Big Ten Has Negro Stars
Big Ten elevens this fall, for example, are spark-plugged by Negro stars, and a few of them practically made the teams what they are. A following list of football stars in recent years who have starred at Western Conference schools should serve as evidence. Other sports stars will have to be omitted for the time being, for space does not permit a reference to them. What about Buddy Young and Paul Patterson of Illinois; Bill Willis, Charlie Anderson, and Ernie Parks of Ohio State; Gene Dericotte of Michigan; Ozzie Sommons of Iowa; Archie Harris of Indiana; and Barney Jefferson of Northwestern?
All these men and many more have been playing in the Big Ten for many years, while Big Six mugels still cling to a race prejudice

that is entirely out of place in our present civilization. Many potentially great Negro stars do not attend Big Six schools because of infinitely better chances at other schools. Why? We certainly lose good students that way, in addition to harming our athletic teams. Might Bear Thinking About

Undoubtedly certain colleges in the circuit have been the leaders in the prevention of Negro participation, but even these schools should realize they are totally unfair. We do not advocate an immediate change over of policies, but rather a fairly rapid assimilation of the matter. It certainly could do no possible harm, though perhaps some members would find it a hard pill to swallow, and they might even choke on it at first. But isn't the idea worth serious thought, something it has definitely not been getting in past years? Why let Big Ten schools continue to put one over on us and be much more progressive at the same time,

Apologies—to John Lance, umpire in the K.U.-K-State game last Saturday for the injustices we and other writers have done the man. When word finally came out of Manhattan that Lance was not actually the referee, the official in charge of the game, all the "blame-Lance" theories were smashed into a million pieces. The referee of a football game is often blamed for what takes place on the field regardless of

Beta, Phi Delt Win Football Play-off
The intramural touch football play-off semi-finals, which were played Tuesday instead of Wednesday as announced in yesterday's Daily Kansan, saw the Beta's, winners of the "A" league pennant, triumph over the Phi Gam's; and the Phi Delts, victors in the "B" league chase, win out over the SAE's.
Tonight the two teams will pair off in a crucial battle to decide the title holder for the fall season. It should be the game of the year, for both teams have walked over all opposition in their respective leagues.

Elisha Gray
Enos M. Barton
When Professor Elisha Gray and young Enos M. Barton, not long out of college, organized in 1869 the partnership later to become Western Electric they paved the way for many developments which have enriched your life.
For many years, the Company has been manufacturer, purchasing agent, and distributor for the Bell Telephone System, whose service you have known all your life.
Through telephone work, college trained men and women at Western Electric helped find other ways to make your life fuller and safer. For example, radio broadcasting—talking pictures—marine, aviation and police radio—train dispatching equipment—all were pioneered by Western Electric.
Today, Western Electric is doing its greatest job—turning out huge quantities of electronic and communications equipment to help our fighting men and to speed the day of Victory.
When that day comes, Western Electric will resume its 75-year-old job of making communications equipment to further enrich your life.
