Frosh Get Varsity Cagers on Nov.21
Basketball fans will have their first opportunity to see this year's varsity squad in action in its initial game with the freshman cagers on the evening of Nov. 21, Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen indicated today.
This will be the Friday preceding the homecoming football game with Missouri, Saturday, Nov. 22. It was thought that alumni who returned to Lawrence for the homecoming grid contest would be interested in a $ ^{a}$
test would be interested in a pre-season glimpse of the basketball squad.
The practice game will be played without Ralph Miller, Ray Evans, and Ettinger, who will still be busy with football at that time. Allen said that another scrimmage would probably be scheduled sometime after football season is over so that the entire squad may play.
Last year the freshmen and varsity mixed twice, with the upper classmen winning both contests by a single point.
Allen said that the team would begin practicing in Hoch auditorium next week and would continue to work out there three afternoons a week.
Teacher Splits Molecule 20-Millionth Inch Long
Have you ever seen a carbon disulphide molecule? Neither has anyone else, but Dr. L. N. Liebermann, department of physics, has measured one. In fact, if you care to take the time, Doctor Liebermann can tell you how to split one even though he has found them to be one twenty-millionth of an inch long.
The doctor used no foot ruler, but a 30-foot grating gravity spectograph, the only one of its $ ^{4} $ size in the world. Hill Disc
This instrument, housed at the University of Chicago, is the size of a large room, yet so sensitive that the entrance of a person into its interior disturbs the temperature-control for 24 hours. Few visitors are permitted to see the apparatus because of its sensitivity to vibration.
Research in Chicago
For the past year Doctor Liebermann has been in Chicago chasing this elusive little molecule around. If you don't believe he has been busy, read his report in this month's edition of the Physical Review magazine, but don't forget to take your dictionary.
This year Doctor Liebermann is an instructor in the physics department here, where he will continue working with the figures and photographs he obtained in Chicago.
It is possible that a 7-foot spectrograph may be constructed this year for the local laboratories.
Semi-Pro Tourney to Wichita
Wichita, Kans., Oct. 17 —(UP)— Wichita, which has been the home of the national semi-pro baseball tournament for the seven years of its existence, has been awarded the 1942 meet Raymond Dumont, president of the national semi-pro congress said today.
Dumont said participants would be offered $25,000 in prize money, with the national champions to receive a minimum of $5,000 or a privilege of 17½ per cent of the gross gate receipts.
University of Minnesota extension division is offering 26 new courses, ranging from cameracraft to Greek Mythology.

GAMES IN THE VALLEY
It seems as if every football columnist picks the winners for each week-end and then keeps a record of his total selecting percentages. This column sticks its neck out on 20 "big" games every week and has called, at this moment, 29 out of 40 contests right. It's fun to give it a try, even if the writer isn't so hot.
Marquette, with a host of veterans, will be a little too rugged for the boys from Lawrence, Kansas. Ralph Miller will probably put on a passing show but Stidham's Hilltoppers should be two touchdowns better. Nebraska by a six-pointer over 'Bo' McMillan's thrice-beaten Hoosiers. The Oklahoma Sooners may get a real skirmish from Hobbs Adams' Wildcats. However, the Sooners by a good margin, despite the loss of Howard Teeter, a fine 230-pound tackle. "Red" Wade, Tiger sophomore, will be the winning difference in the Missouri-Iowa State clash. Wade has scored three touchdowns this season, all on long runs. The red-thatched tailback scampered 27 yards against Ohio State, 64 yards in the Colorado game, and 65 yards last week on a Kansas State punt return.
THE TOUGH ONES OF THE NATION
Northwestern, headed by DeCorrevont and Graham, by one point over Michigan's vaunted line. Alabama, rebounding from Mississippi State, to jump the Tennessee hurdle. Ohio State's Buckeyes will be too powerful for the Purdue Bailermaker's. Andy Tomasic makes Temple six points better than Penn State.
Mississippi's Hovius and Hapes will finally get to rolling against a fair Holy Cross outfit. Bob Brumley and Rice will take an improving L.S.U. team in stride. Texas' Southwest contenders, minus Pete Leyden, will win from Arkansas by a couple of scores. Yale's youngsters to upset the Army mule. Navy's best team in years, to whip a Cornell team which already has surprised everyone by downing Syracuse and Harvard.
In one of the day's tossups, Texas Christian looks like a pretty fair choice over Homer Norton's Texas Aggies. Santa Clara, with an All-American bet in Kenny Cassenga, will have their hands full slipping past Michigan State. Minnesota to swamp Pittsburgh. Colgate's sophomores will receive a trouncing from Wallace Wade's point-making machine from Duke.
Georgia over Columbia in one of the day's thrilling gridiron feasts. Fordham's Rose Hill to Rose Bowl aggregation by three or four tallies in the West Virginia fray. Tulane, with the fanciest line in the South headed by McCollum and Dulfour, should edge out the North Carolina eleven. The N. C. Tarheels scared the daylights out of Fordham last Saturday.
SIDE-LINES
Iowa State will be seeking its 200th pigskin victory (in the school's history) against Missouri tomorrow. . . . Clark Shaughnessy had no alibis for his Stanford team's loss at the hands of Oregon State. However it didn't help Frankie Albert and the "T" boys to have slippery Pete Kmetovic out of the second half of the game with a leg injury.
This corner will get a big thrill this coming Saturday as a spectator at the nation's biggest game, the Northwestern-Michigan contest at Evanston, Ill. . . . Roy Edwards, head cheerleader, will be with the Kansas team, per usual, at Marquette . . . John Kimborough and Tom Harmon, the best backs in the country last fall, will team up together on the New York Americans Sunday to tangle with the Columbus Bulldogs.
Arkansas A. & M., the team that plays wholly for fun, grabbed the headlines a week ago, with a win over Alcorn A. & M. 13-0. . . Navy's Bill Busik has the top collegiate punting average of 45.5. Let's take a glimpse at the marks of the first three pro booters. Kay Eakin of the New York Giants leads, with a 53.8 average, with 'Slingin' Sammy Baugh and Dean McAdams following closely with mediums of 52.9 and 50.5 respectively.
... Ray Evans, K.U. sophomore, is the second highest man in the pass-snagging department in the United States. ...
