As yet no one knows for sure when the Kansas-Missouri game will be played next fall. The game has been definitely set for Thanksgiving Day, but just when the annual holiday is, remains a mystery. Some calendars carry Nov. 23 (Roosevelt's selection) while others list Nov. 30 as Thanksgiving Day. The game will probably be played on the day that is celebrated in Kansas City, where the game has been scheduled to be played, making possible a larger gate.
If the game were played Nov. 30 both Missouri and Kansas would be left with open dates preceding the contest. Missouri would have more than two and a half weeks between their Nov. 11 contest with Oklahoma and the Turkey Day game with the Jayhawks. Kansas would have one Saturday open before the Tiger clash. Kansas coach Henry Shenk would rather play the game Nov. 28. The Jayhawk mentor dislikes open dates late in the season as he believes it takes the edge off the players, and without games their interest and spirit lags. Of course, the lay-off might be of advantage to either team if injuries are plentiful, as it would give the squads a chance to get in shape, and maybe plan a few new plays for their opponents. However, Coach Shenk would rather take his chance on injuries and play straight through the fall.
The moving of the Kansas-Missouri battle to Kansas City takes that game away from Lawrence and Columbia for the first time since it was moved to Columbia's Rollins Field in 1911. The rivalry, oldest continuous one west of the Mississippi, began back in 1891 in Kansas City's old Exposition park, and has been going at full swing ever since, with no slack in spirit and interest.
The Missouri contest will mark the second appearance of the Jayhawks next fall in Ruppert stadium as they will play the Texas Christian Horned Frogs earlier in the season. Kansas now has a full schedule of 10 games, but the list is being withheld for the present.

The Allies had the advantage of a continued aerial umbrella. While the big squadrons drubbed the continent from the west by daylight on the heels of another night of RAF blows, the Mediterranean command sent its flight deep over Hitler's Europe. Seven oil refineries in Hungary and Yugoslavia and the Keck-skenet dromes southeast of Budapest were hit with good results. Budapest also was hit.
Munich Gets First Night Bombing The communications hub, Munich, received its first night attack of the war from Mediterranean based planes last night.

forces and tests. The committee in charge this year realized that many of the boys chosen will have their educational careers cut short by calls to service in the armed forces. Because of the high quality of the candidates this year and because of the likelihood of their short stay, a larger class was chosen than usual. The number winning and holding the honor each year is made expandable by the fact that the amount of funds given to each boy depends on how much his parents can furnish.

The local manpower shortage is critical, and it appears that the entire community including the University staff, must come to the rescue if production schedules are to be met on the farm, at the canning factory, and at the powder plant. Help is needed now.
A seven run lead gained in the first three innings assured the Pleasant Grove team a 19 to 6 victory over the Ship's Company softball team last night.

Sigma Chi, Phi Gam Delta Tau, Blanks Are Softball Victors
Closer and lower scores characterized the fifth round softball games, played yesterday after Thursday's rain caused postponement. The day's action saw Sigma Chi defeated by Battenfeld 7 to 8, Phi Gam win from Phi Usi 5 to 4, Delta Tau Delta topple Beta 6 to 4, and the Blanks rout Phi Delt 7 to 2.
Phi Gam, runners-up in the league standings, had to go'an extra inning to win from Phi Psi by a score of 5 to 4. Hartigan pitched the win, and helped win his own game by hitting a home run. Hamilton also got a round tripper for the winners. Robinson pitched for Phi Psi.
The Blanks won their sixth in a row, as VanderWerf pitched a 7 to 2 win over Phi Delt and hit a triple and single to further his cause. Bergin and Harris hit homers for the losers' only runs. In the Sigma Chi-Battenfeld game, Lillibridge and Theel engaged in a hurling duel, with the latter finally proving a shade better. Keller, Sigma Chi backstop, was the batting star, getting three hits.
The Delt's and Beta's engaged in another close battle. The losers led 3-2 going into the seventh, but Delt scored four runs in that round and finally won 6 to 4. Moffett pitched

LINCOLN'S VISION is today's reality!
STEEL RAILS connecting coast with coast! That was Abraham Lincoln's vision, realized by the Driving of the Golden Spike. This historic event, in 1869, united the first transcontinental tracks, and initiated the nation-wide delivery by Express of commercial goods and personal packages at passenger train speed.
Today, Railway Express operates on 230,000 miles of track. Over them daily, 10,000 trains speed shipments of every kind to and from 23,000 offices. Included in this nation-wide network is almost every college town in America. Generations of students first learned about Express Service when they left home for college, then grew to depend upon it during their years on the campus.
When you do have packages to send, you can help us do our war job better by aiding in three ways: Pack your shipments securely—address them clearly—start them early. Our century of experience proves that "a shipment started right is half-way there!"
