Title Holders Lose To Sig Eps
Beta Theta Pi, defending champion in intramural football, suffered its first loss over a span of twelve games in dropping a 14-5 contest to the Sig Eps Friday. The Sig Eps tallied twice in the first five minutes and the handicap was too much for the Beta's to overcome. Martin and Teichgraber starred for the Sig Eps while Geiger and Morris were outstanding for the losers.
A pass from Russell to Lonnecker gave the Sigma Nu's a 6 to 0 win over the Newman Club in a hard fought well-played battle. Alpha Chi Sigma gained a victory by forfeit from the Tennessee Club.
The Triangles turned back the Comets 18 to 13 in the only six-man contest of the day.

Speech Symposium Here Thursday
A student symposium of speeches on political subjects, sponsored by the campus forum board, will be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, it was announced yesterday.
At that time the platforms of the Democrat, Republican, and Socialist parties will be presented briefly in 10-minute talks given by party representatives.
Following the talks, an open discussion will be held.
Campus Problems Tryouts Postponed
Tryouts for the sixteenth annual Campus Problems speaking contest will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, rather than Nov. 4, as formerly announced. Finals will be Nov. 19 in Fraser theater.
Postponement was caused by the Armistice Day holiday on Nov. 11 and the belief that there would be more enthusiasm if the period was unbroken, Miss Margaret Anderson, of the department of speech and dramatic art, said.
Texas had eight capitals before it was admitted into the Union as a state.
Jewett Makes Oil And Gas Survey Of Miami Counuty
J. M. Jewett, geologist for the Kansas Geological Survey is making a survey in Miami county in preparation for a bulletin on oil and gas exploration in that county.
Besides the bulletin the survey issues a map which shows the locations of all wells, producing, abandoned, or dry holes drilled. This information is valuable to small producers interested in oil and gas development who would be unable to obtain it otherwise.
The Kansas Geological Survey has as its project all of the counties in the eastern part of the state. Labette, Linn, and Montgomery are other counties which have been investigated.
Annual Math Meeting to Have Speaker From Columbia U.
Word has been received in the University mathematics department that Prof. W. D. Reeve of Columbia University, New York City, has been engaged as speaker for the annual meeting of the Kansas Association of Mathematics meeting to be held in connection with the conference of the Kansas Academy of Science in Manhattan next spring.
Bausch Runs Wild
Bausch ran back the opening kick-off 95 yards to demoralize the Wildcats and put them out of the title race. Hargiss' charges trampled Nigro, Auker, Cronkite, and company when State had one of its greatest teams. Kansas lost only to Nebraska in the conference and Pennsylvania outside. Missouri, Iowa State, Oklahoma were all beaten handsily.
When the Wildcats won the title in 1934 they defeated Kansas 13 to 0. The Jayhawkers won 9 to 2 in 1935. K-State won 26 to 6 in 1936 and 7 to 0 in 1937.
Then came that memorable 1938 contest. The wolves were howling for scalps after Notre Dame shell-lacked Kansas 52 to 0. The Jay-hawkers went into the game with no chance to win. Everyone knows how an inspired squad pasted a 27 to 7 defeat on a heavily favored K-State.
It is estimated that 40,000 Czechoslovakian soldiers and 850 airplane pilots are in the British army.
