Regular Guards Will Be Hard To Select
BY C. A. GILMORE
When the time comes to name the starting guards for next fall's football eleven, Gwinn Henry will have a difficult task. Gone are Quido Massare, Herb Hartman, and Jay Kern, stalwarts in the forward wall last year and they will not be easy to replace.
The spinner-wing formation calls for steady guards who are able to protect the quarterback while he is handling the ball close to the line of scrimmage.
Bob Fluker, Don Hill, and Monte Merkel are thick in the fight for regular positions with several new players making things interesting. Fluker May Be Regular
Fluker, a junior from Clay Center and a Summerfield scholar, was an understudy to Massare last fall. His size and speed make him a fine running guard.
Hill, a second year man from
Kansas City, is showing up nicely in spring practice. A sub last fall, he showed great improvement towards the end of the season, and should make a steady and durable perform-
DON HILL er.
The return of Monte Merkel is a definite lift to the football hopes. He was a regular tackle in 1939
last fall. He has been working hard all winter and is in excellent condition. During spring practice he has been used at both tackle and guard and will probably see action at
both posts during the regular season.
Syboda Twins Can Tackle
The Svoboda twins, Floyd and Lloyd, are two short, compactly built sophomores whose strong points are their defensive abilities.
Several likely guards are coming up from the freshman squad of last fall. Among these are Gene "Chief" Long, from Pleasanton; Warren Hodges, the toted lineman from Lawrence who may play either guard or tackle; Joe Crawford of Kansas City, who has been teaming with Fluker in spring drills; Jack Brownnell of Wichita; and Harold Van Slyck and Tom O'Neill of Topeka.
Debaters Leave For Speech Meet In Chicago
B. C. Buehler, professor of speech,
and five members of the debate
guild left Wednesday for Chicago to
attend the bi-annual congress of
Delta Sigma Rho, national debate
fraternity, to be held this week end.
More than 50 universities will take part in group discussions of national problems.
Prepare For Big Exposition
Architects Build Miniature City
Under the direction of Eugene Sanneman, engineering senior, one room of the third floor of Marvin hall is gradually taking on the appearance of a miniature city. Sanneman is chairman in charge of the department of architecture exhibit at the Engineering Exposition, April 18-19.
Models of houses and buildings will be exhibited on a table in the center of the drafting room. Among these models are the miniatures of municipal swimming pools, a sophomore project. Guests at the show will vote on which is the best pool model.
Built To Scale
Although most of the modeling work is done in clay or balsa wood, some of the models have been worked out in finer materials. All the models are built to scale, a process requiring several weeks work. Many of them are landscaped. Landscaping devices used to resemble trees and shrubs are sponges, pieces of art gum, and pipe cleaners.
Students in the department will work on the models during the exhibition showing visitors "how it is done." Special lighting effects will be used to present the models to best advantage.
Exhibit Drawings
Another phase of the architecture course, rendering crayon and water color drawings, will be demonstrated, and some of the best drawings made during the year will be on

EVEN THE BIRDS ARE WEARING ARROW TIES
A 10-man rifle team from the R. O.T.C. rifle squad of Oklahoma A. and M. will fire a shoulder to shoulder match with the University R.O.T.C. rifle team at 7:30 tomorrow evening at the R.O.T.C. rifle range in Fowler shops.

George Beal, professor of architecture, will demonstrate his heliodon, or "sun machine." This machine, designed by Beal, is used to show the effect of the sun in providing light for buildings.
The department of architecture won a silver loving cup awarded by Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, for the best department exhibit in the Exposition of 1934 and 1936.
Chemists Set Sights on Trophy
Chemical engineers will start their demonstrations in the Engineering Exposition April 18 and 19 with a bang, a miniature dust explosion, and try to keep pace with the Kansas Relayers, who will be on the campus at the same time, by winning the Sigma Tau trophy for the best exhibit in the Exposition.
"Our exhibit is better than the electrical engineers," Presson Shane, senior chemical engineer in charge of the chemists' exhibition committee, said today in discussing the merits of the chemical engineering and electrical engineering exhibits Shane outlined a few of the exhibits which had been planned and adder
that there are several exhibits which must be kept secret for the time.
Not to be outdone by the electrical engineers who propose to fry ice-packed hamburgers without a fire, the chemists will freeze and boil water at the same time. Several chemistry students doubted that the electrical engineers were using electricity to fry the hamburgers. They added that it could be done by a chemical process.
Another feature of the exhibit will be the chemical color matching. Electrical engineers have a similar exhibit in which blocks will be sorted according to color.
A miniature dust explosion will demonstrate the danger of dust accumulation in industrial concerns. Dust explosions occur in flour mills, candy factories where powdered sugar is used and in other plants where there is a great amount of powdered material.
