Reds Even Series With Detroit, 5-3
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1940
NUMBER 14
With "Bucky" Walters standing out like a beacon light, the Cincinnati Reds ended the National League's victory drouth and squared the World Series this afternoon downing Detroit 5 to 3.
The game started none too impressively for Cincinnati, with Walters yielding a run before anyone was out. The first two Detroit batters, Bartell and McCoskey, walked and Gehringer's single brought Bartell home from second. Greenberg then hit into a double play, but McCoskey scored in the meantime to give the Tigers a 2 to 0 lead.
Cincinnati's mound ace, Walters, pitched masterful ball, holding the slugging Tigers to three hits. Only the combination of four walks with those hits enabled Detroit to break into the scoring column.
The Cincinnati victory ended a string of ten successive World Series wins for American League teams. The Reds and the Tigers now move to Detroit with the series standing at one game apiece.
Greenberg also figured in Detroit's other run in the sixth. McCoskey walked and was forced by Gehringer. The Tiger's second baseman came all the way around from first on Greenberg's long double.
Walters had a worthy pitching rival in the last half of the game in Gorsica. The young Detroit right hander came into the game with one out in the fourth inning and allowed only one hit during the four and two-thirds innings he pitched.
Three To Winfield For Meet Tomorrow
Dr. J. W. Twente and C. B. Althaus of the School of Education and Fred Montgomery of the bureau of visual instruction, will go to Winfield tomorrow to attend the fourth annual Educational clinic of Kansas. Walter E. Myer of Washington, D.C., will be the principal speaker.
Sour Owl To Be Sold Monday
The Sour Owl, Campus humor magazine, will hit the Hill bright and early Monday morning, Jason Yordy, b'42, business manager of the magazine, announced today after much quibbling with his printers.
"If it wouldn't be bragging, I'd say the magazine was so good the printers couldn't take time off from reading it to print it," Yordy propagated. "Either that or some of the cartoons burnt up the offset camera."
The first Owl contains an illustrated date directory which lists the majority of new women on the Hill living in organized houses. Cartoons, pictures, gossip, fiction, and a know-all-tell-all column by Roscoe Born, c'42, make up the first issue of this much discussed Kansas institution.
Draft Date Stays Same, Says Gerhart
Lawrence will not deviate from the registration plans of the national draft program, it was announced today by T. R. Gerhart, county draft board member.
Mr. Gerhart made the statement Tuesday that it was his desire that University students might be allowed to register a day earlier than the regular date for registration, set for Oct. 16, but registration blanks did not arrive. Thus students will register at the same time as the rest of those eligible for conscription report.
"University student registration under this program will be entirely under the direction of your registrar," said Mr. Gerhart.
Generally fair in west, partly cloudy in east portion tonight and Friday; somewhat warmer in extreme northwest,

Another Sleep Threat---- Early Class Proposal Is First in Four Years
When the University Senate proposed Tuesday to start classes at 8:10 o'clock instead of 8:30, it acted just a bit ahead of the cue.
Because history shows that threats against students' sleep always should come in March. Three times early classes have been held in that month.
Because history shows that always should come in March. been proposed in that month, but never yet has the move succeeded.
The first attempt came in 1911. The second in 1912. Both attempts failed.
At that time a major fight developed on the campus when the M. S.C. and W.S.G.A. openly worked against the bill. But finally faculty members proved they liked sleep as well as students and killed the measure in the Senate.
During the World War I there wasn't any question about it. Classes were moved up to 8 o'clock to give men more time for drill, women more time for bandage-making.
The present case, however, is thought to be the first time anyone suggested moving the roll-call to 8:10 o'clock. All other moves have been for 8 o'clock. The University Senate will decide this question in December.
When the war was over classes returned to normal 8:30 hour, and they were not tampered with until March four years ago.

Shuffle Also Puts Halifax Out of Office
By JOE ALEX MORRIIS
United Press Foreign News Editor
Neville Chamberlain, statesman of a vanished era of appeasement, stepped down from the British cabinet and out of public life today in a move that symbolized Great Britain's determination to wage relentless war against Germany on all fronts.
Public Approves Resignation
Coincident with Chamberlain's retirement Prime Minister Winston Churchill reshuffled his cabinet to bring more of his new, hard-hitting administrators to the top.
On the war front British planes ranged from Scandinavia to East Africa, blasting at German and Italian bases with heavy loads of bombs.
The British public which had cheered Chamberlain on his return from Munich with "peace in our time" and had cheered him again when he proclaimed that "Hitler missed the bus"—just before the Nazi invasion of Norway—approved his resignation.
The only criticism heard was that cabinet changes did not go far enough, that some men associated with the appeasement era still remained although their policies had been tossed overboard.
No bitterness accompanied Chamberlain's retirement. It was attributed officially to his failure to recover full vigor after a serious operation and he advised Churchhill of his unshaken confidence that "under your leadership this country . . . will succeed in overcoming the forces of barbarism."
Churehill upped two of his forceful Labor party aides in the cabinet revision. Herbert Morrison, minister of supply, took over the key post of minister of home and security which deals with the multitudinous problems arising from Germany's air bombardment and invasion threats. Ernest Beven, Labor minister, went into the inner war cabinet.
Chamberlain's nominal post of lord president of the council went to Sir John Anderson who vacated
