Swimmers Open With Sooners Tomorrow
Coach Jim Raport and eight members of his swimming team will leave tomorrow morning for Norman where they will engage in a dual meet with the University of Oklahoma at two o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Those making the trip and their event are Gene Nelson, breaststroke; Joe Morton, dashes; Paul White, diving and dashes; Ed Moses, dashes; Bob Cohlemeyer, distance; Bill Mackie, distance; Dan LaShellee, distance; and Beachy Musser, dashes.
February will prove to be a series of wet week-ends for Raport's charges. Next Friday Oklahoma will come to Lawrence for a return engagement and on Saturday the Iowa State Cyclones will spash in Robinson pool against the Jayhawkers.
Starting Tuesday, Feb. 18, the Jayhawkers will go on the road for three meets. On that first night they will go to Manhattan to meet Coach Monie Moll's aquatic aces. The following Friday, Feb. 21, the Kansans will travel to Lincoln to clash with the Huskers.
Then with five dual meets under their trunks the "Hawks" will have a week to practice before the biggest event of the year, the Big Six meet, which will be held from Feb. 28 to March 1.
Wildcats Meet Tigers Tonight
Manhattan, Kan., Feb. 6-The "fast-break" club of the Big Six conference. Missouri, will furnish tough opposition for Kansas State college here tonight in Nichols gymnasium.
Coach Jack Gardner's Wildcats last week lost to Oklahoma, a team they previously defeated. They will be seeking to regain their winning stride against the Tigers Thursday, but Gardner sees a hard iob ahead.
"Missouri is the fastest team in the Big Six," declared the K-State mentor. "The Tigers have come close to the best teams in the conference, and are going to win some ball games. I just hope they won't start Thursday."
The Tigers, co-champions last season, feature a rapid-action attack with many jump-shots at the basket. The shooters use either one or two hands and have good eyes for the basket. The veteran of the Missouri club is Martin Nash, all-Big Six conference guard of last season.

clones, and studied football further in the Big Six Conference and at other major schools.
Scouting a Hobby
His keen observation of opposing teams was supplemented by development of a hobby. The hobby is study of athletes' reactions on the football field.
There are few football teachers so completely equipped as Coach Donells, staff members at Iowa State College are convinced. When Coach Yeager submitted his resignation, in moving to the University of Colorado grid staff, Ray was the instant
Professor Is Honorary Diplomat
A letter addressed to the Costa Rican consul at Lawrence was unclaimed recently and puzzled the postmaster, until it was discovered that J. M. Osma, professor of romance languages, occupied such a post.
Osma was appointed honorary Costa Rican consul in 1924 by President Ricardo Jimenez, of Costa Rica, and holds all the necessary papers pertaining to the office with the signature of the late president Calvin Coolidge.
Professor Osma, while a native and a graduate of Spanish universities, lived for eight years in Costa Rica where he was connected with the public schools. When he came to Kansas in 1924, he went into diplomatic service.
"I had to sign some papers as consul, once since I came here," said Professor Osma with a smile. "I received three dollars for that. But in order to make the papers official, I had to spend 10 dollars for a seal."
and unanimous choice of the college Athletic Council to succeed him.
While football has become his special field, Coach Donels still retains a broad interest in athletics. He is completely in accord with the Iowa State College recreational program, now one of the most highly developed in the nation.
Coach Donels has completed a series of standardized physical tests for boys, setting goals of achievement for all groups, according to height, weight and age. The program is in national use, particularly in boys' summer camps.
"Athletes are bound to result from a program that improves native skills, such as running, throwing and climbing," he says.
Coach Donels will begin teaching varsity football at Iowa State about April 1, and plans to continue the gridiron course developed by Director George F. Veenker and followed by Coach Yeager. The latter succeeded Director Veenker as head coach in 1937, after assisting as line coach through one season.
Hartford, Conn.—(UP)—Feb. 5—"College students do not intend to be carried off their feet by emotional appeals as they say the last generation was," according to the Rev. Dr. Remsen B. Ogilby, president of Trinity College.
`Present Students Not So Emotional
Doctor Ogilby made this assertion in his annual report to the board of trustees. The report said, that "mass thinking, fortunately, is not characteristic of collegiate groups. Generally, undergraduates of today are seemingly somewhat tougher in their thinking and certainly less sentimental than their older brothers, uncles, and fathers a quarter century ago."
Doctor Ogilby believes today's college students are "loyal and patriotic, but in a quiet and restrained manner which would seem to indicate they are trying to base their decisions upon reason rather than emotion. I find our young men definitely suspicious of propaganda," he said.
Grad Travels Far, Long
The study of insects has led John Deal, '31, to many distant places, the most recent being war-torn England. Deal, who is visiting H. B. Hungerford, professor of entomology, returned to the United States last September after six years abroad.
He spent several years in South and Central America as an entomologist for the United Fruit companies. Then he attended London University where he received his Ph.D. degree. According to Deal, London University has been moved to the country since the beginning of the war, and the course of study has been reduced from three to two years.
Deal relates that all of the British civilian population, including colcluding college professors, have been classified with regard to special training. Scientists in the universities are subject to call whenever their services are needed.

Merchants Approve Airport Proposal
The proposed bond issue designed for improvement at the Municipal airport was given a vote of confidence by the Merchants Bureau of Lawrence at a meeting Tuesday night. The Bureau went on record as favoring the issue after George Hedrick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, explained the proposal.
Increased C.A.A. regulations for continuing the advanced flying program have necessitated several improvements at the airport.
AS WE SEE IT---vision of the Kansas relays in 1939.
Gunners professional club to 16 victories in 18 starts.
ANOTHER ITEM which should squeeze a few more wails out of any Kansas alumnus is the pre-season spring performances of Missouri sophomore Don Walters, formerly of Paola. . . . Reports drifting from Tigertown say that Walters has already tied the indoor 60-yard sprint mark of 6.3 more than once. . . . Walters won both the 100 and 220 yard dashes in the high school division of the Kansas relays in 1939.
OFFED HATS are in order for T. P. Hunter, "Phog" Allen's junior jack-of-all-trades, whose performances in the Jayhawker's last three games have solved a slightly perplexing forward problem. . . . At present Dr. Allen is endeavoring to get the popular Oklahoma, who is actually a good shot, to fire away at the basket more. . . . Hunter having never started a game for Kansas until the Aggie encounter two weeks ago has been a little reticent about shooting and has concentrated too much on passing off to his teammates, Allen believes.
AMONG THE missing when spring baseball drills open will be captain-elect Larry Hensley who will go south April 1 with Muskeegan of the class C Michigan State league for spring training. . . . Muskeegan is a farm club of the Detroit Tigers, who signed Hensley just before school opened this year. . . . Larry, who played centerfield and second base for the Jayhawkers last spring, will definitely remain an outfielder with Muskeegan. . . He left school today for his home in Dodge City.
