Trackmen to Meet Iowa Cyclones There in Dual Meet
The University of Kansas Jayhawks journey to Ames, Iowa, Saturday for a dual meet with the Iowa State Cyclones. The Cyclones won first place in the Big Six indoor meet, while Kansas placed third.
Iowa State lost a close dual meet with the Iowa Seahawks, one of the strongest track teams in the Middle West, which shows the strength of the Cyclone squad. The Cyclones will probably be rated as favorites in the Big Six meet to be held in Lincoln, Nebr., May 20. Further observations of the strength of both teams can be obtained when the results of the meet are in.

Intramural Matches Resumed This Week
Handball, tennis, horseshoes, and golf matches are scheduled to begin this week, as men's intramural competition is resumed after a week's layoff. Intramural manager George Dick announced that from 30 to 45 entries have been received for each sport.
The brackets now being drawn up allow a set period of days for each match, with contestants being expected to make arrangements to play within that time. Dick declared that unless a reasonable attempt was made to hold the contest, it would be scratched. He also requested that intramural players notify the intramural office of any impossibility of playing in the scheduled time, and that results be left in the intramural box in Robinson Gymnasium.
Tentative plans are being made for an intramural track meet on May 20. This was originally scheduled for last month, but weather conditions made it impossible. Softball will start in the latter part of this month.

W. A. White Ship Launched
The William Allen White Liberty ship was launched this week at the Kaiser shipyards.
The Union Pacific struggled through lean and troubled years but, like other pioneers, it had faith in America's future. Edward H. Harriman had unbounded faith in America. His guiding genius—and the faith of the leaders "from the ranks" who followed him, gave strength and vigor to the railroad.
in Utah, was the scene of a history-making event on May 10, 1869—the realization of a great American's dream. It was Abraham Lincoln who visualized the vital need for uniting, by rail, the East with the Pacific Coast, and who authorized the building of a transcontinental railroad.
America always has offered unlimited opportunity and ample reward as an incentive for hard work and individual enterprise. That's why it's such a great country. It's our job to keep it that way.

This year marks the 75th Anniversary—the Diamond Jubilee—of the driving of the Golden Spike, the completion of "The Strategic Middle Route." Union Pacific commemorates that historic occasion by continuing to exert every effort in the transportation of materials and troops so that victory and peace may soon be ours.
