Sign Larry Clinton For Sophomore Hop
Larry Clinton, "The Dipsy Doodler," has been signed to play for the Sophomore Hop on Dec. 14, according to an announcement made at the Homecoming Varsity last night by Fred Littooy, dance manager.
Clinton and his orchestra will be the second big name band to appear on the Hill this year, Tommy Dorsey having played for the Freshman Frolic.
Composer of such hit songs as "My Reverie" and"The Dipsy Doodle," Clinton is today considered one of the five top bands in the country.
Larry Clinton, a maestro of only one year's standing, has been elected as "America's Best Arranger" in the 1939 Downbeat poll.
Larry Clinton is touted as the "miracle man" of the music business. Unlike other band leaders who struggled to the top, Clinton was a top flight leader from the first song he composed. He has established new records at the exclusive Meadowbrook in New Jersey and in many other places where he has appeared with his orchestra.
Clinton has been arranger for such swing captains as Glen Gray, Tommy Dorsey, and Jimmy Dorsey, and formed his own band as recently as 1938. Since then, principally with his own "Dipsy Doodle," he has risen swiftly in the tin pandemonium field.
He says that in the future there will be less noise and more beauty, less stomping and more lift, to swing, which he adds up to: "That's always the way when art grows up—it's rawness disappears, and I believe swing is art."
Bringing Clinton to the campus this year was an almost "toogood-to-be-hoped-for" opportunity, Littooy said last night when he made the announcement at the varsity.

Lawyers Hold Convention On Campus
About 90 licensed and practicing attorneys of Kansas were present at the first Legal Institute for the current year held Friday and yesterday in the Auditorium of Frank Strong hall. The Institute is held under the auspices of the Kansas Bar association and is sponsored by the School of Law.
At the first general session, Friday afternoon, W. E. Stanley, president of the Kansas Bar association, presided. A general discussion followed an address on "The New Federal Rules," by T. M. Lillard of Topeka.
Outstanding among the excellent speeches given at the Institute was that given by Prof. H. Lauerpacht of the University of Cambridge, England on "The Laws of Warfare in the Present War." This address was given at the banquet in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, Friday night, and was fol-

Y.M.-Y.W. Regional Council Postponed
The Rocky Mountain Regional Council of Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. which was scheduled to meet Nov. 8,9,and 10 in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building has been postponed indefinitely.
Students in the College are going to need that day of vacation tomorrow to recuperate from a hectic week of mid-semester tests, capped with a once-a-year Homecoming weekend. With the mid-semester grades due in the College office Tuesday, it appears likely that the students will have no more tests to worry about over the week-end and Armistice day will be an opportunity to catch up on that much needed sleep.
Exams, Weekend And Rest

Editors Meet Talk, Eat, and Attend Game
The American country press has an important fight ahead. It must work to close the immigration bars to the scum of other countries which is drifting rapidly into New York. Socialism is spreading at great speed and the press must do its part toward stopping it.
These were points brought out by Albert T. Reid in his talk yesterday morning at the meeting of Kansas editors and publishers which was held in the Journalism building.
Reid, who formerly was publisher of a Leavenworth newspaper, is now a noted artist and head of the Reid Syndicate in New York.
He praised Kansans as those who go to the top and lead the procession. The Middlewest has produced some of the most noted men in the newspaper profession.
Reid made the observation that most of the gags used in New York were taken from Kansas papers.
He said that Kansas has Coronado, the Indians, the Pony Express, and the pioneers to furnish material for an interesting history which should be recorded.
Clif Stratton Speaks
The second speaker was Clif Stratton, a Kansas State graduate, now a Washington correspondent. Stratton said that he fears there is danger of the freedom of the press being taken away.
Stratton viewed with alarm Secretary of Interior Ickes recent statement about "free" air communication. He pointed out that radio now is licensed and can be terminated with brief advance notice. Stratton wondered if Ickes favored a "free" press which would be based on the will of the administration in power.
Floyd L. Hockenhull, of Chicago, publisher of Circulation Management magazine, spoke of "Workable Ways to Increase Net Profits from

care the Sooners
By BOB TRUMP
Kansan Sports Editor
A fighting band of Kansas Jayhawks played their hearts out for three quarters in mistclouded Memorial stadium yesterday afternoon before a fresher, heavier, greatly amazed Oklahoma Sooner eleven could sweep to two touchdowns and a 13 to 0 victory in the final period.
The Homecoming c rowd which dwindled to 6,000 in the face of the worst football
weather Lawrence has experienced since the Nebraska contest in 1934, saw the Kansans play their best game of the year while throwing a scare into the ranks of the confident Sooners. Five Play Entire Game

Five Jayhawks — Center Don Pierce, Tackle Ross Relph, End Hub Ulrich, and Backs Ed Hall and Jake Fry, proved themselves iron men by never leaving the action during the entire game.
footed halfback, saved his team from the most startling upset of the season when, after 41-2 minutes had elapsed in the final quarter, he took a shovel pass from Nuel Hamm and sprinted 41 yards down the west sidelines for a touchdown.
Johnny Martin, Tom Stidham's 185 pounds of dynamite at fullback, exploded through the tiring Jayhawk line a few minutes later for the second touchdown of the game.
