Zino Francescatti Herz Enthusiastic About America
- Violinist Practices but One Hour a Day While on tour; Released from Draft by France
Enthusiastic at what they have already seen and experienced in this country, Zimo Francescetti, violinist, graduated from the University of Lawrence yesterday afternoon.
Frenchcascott, good natured young French violinist who will play a concert tonight, described his experiences as "simplify marvelous." During his three weeks stay in the United States, he has formed a liking for American food, particularly tomato juice. A Chicagoan, after finding this out, presented the violinist with a case of canned tomato juice, to be shipped back to France and utilized on special occasions.
Practices Little
Francescetti and his equally likable accompanist, Doctor Herz, have found the few student audiences before which they have appeared enthusiastic and appreciative. "Very nice for the artist," is the way in which Doctor Herz describes the attitude of such audiences.
The French artist, who is of war age, was released from draft by the French government because it was "thought more important for him to tour than to serve as a soldier." Find Students Amacriete
Francescini does very little practice while on tour, usually less than an hour a day. He uses two violins, one for large concert halls or smaller venues. For his concert tonight he will use his smaller, a Sario Sanffio.
Doctor Herz, amiable pianist for the violinist, is a native Hungarian. Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin at the School of Fine Arts met the pianist at his home in Budapest this summer, and the two formed what Herz described as "a very intimate acquaintance."
Chess, Checker Match Applications Due Saturday Noon
All applications for the chess and checker tournament must be in by noon Saturday, Winford Ferry, e'40 director of the tourney announced last night. The first round of play will begin Monday afternoon.
Matches in the chess game will consist of one game each. Two points will be awarded for a victory, one point to each player in case of a tie and no points for losses. In the checker division the winner will constitute a match. Points will be awarded on the same basis as for the chess game.
Prizes have not been decided upon, Ferry said, but trophies or medals will probably be awarded.
The chequer games will be played in the lounge of the Memorial Union building, and the chess games will probably be played at the houses of

The shots were made on the campuses of the University, Washburn, and Kansas State College. About nine weeks were required for the photographing, and the preparation of the scenario and editing the film was about 3 additional weeks. The movie has a running time of 33 minutes.
The picture, financed by the NYA and released from its Washington office, was recently received at the Topkea office. Fifteen copies of the film have been sent all over the country.

Women Pass Point System Bill In Meeting
- Measure To Prevent Over Ambitious Women from Too Much Work and Encourage Others
By unanimous vote last night the W.S.G.A. passed the Point System Bill to serve as a control of women's activities on the Hill.
Under the bill points will be given for each office and activity, the number of points depending upon the honor of the position and the amount of time required to fulfill the duties. Juniors and seniors will be limited to 60 points, sophomores will be allowed 40, and freshmen 30 points.
"The purpose of the bill," Velma Wilson, c'40, president, said, "is to keep a few women from working too much and will encourage other women to get into activities in order to get points."
The bill is expected to affect a comparatively small group of senior women. Those having too many points may resign certain positions in order to keep the offices they wish to work in.
Encourage Women
Barclay is Board Manager
Elizabeth Barclay, c'40, will serve as manager of the board to administer the bill. Three other members of the W.S.G.A. will be appointed to the board sometime this week.

Seniors Get Free Health Check-Up
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, yesterday requested seniors who will graduate at the end of the first semester to make appointments for physical examinations at Watkins Memorial hospital.
The senior physical examinations require about 40 minutes. Doctor Sanutmes said, and include repetition of the tuberculin test, x-ray of the chest, Wassermann test, laboratory tests, immunization for typhoid and small pores and other tests necessary to make a complete examination.
The occupation of the Finnish island of Hogland was announced but little progress was claimed on the Karleian Isthmus, the main front on the Finnish mainland. Dispatches from there indicated that stubborn Finnish resistance was providing unexpected difficulties for invaders, despite the heavy superiority in numbers and equipment.
This is the third year that seniors have been offered the free examination. The students will not be notified of the examination by letter this year, because of the expense involved. Doctor Canuteson said.
Moscow, Dec. 5. — (UP) — Russia announced today that 11 Finnish warplanes and one of Finland's five submarines had been destroyed, and at the same time denied foreign reports of Soviet losses.
Students graduating in June can take the physical examination after the Christmas vacation.

Allen Takes Spill
Bobby Allen, fiery quarterback, took a bad spill near the East goal midway in the first half and left the game with an injured knee. However, he came back in the second canto to spartan the team with some dashing floor play as if nothing had happened.
Jess Renick, big Indian guard for the visitors, opened the evening's scoring when he drove in close for a bucket. Schwertferger, 6 foot 5 center, and Smelser, forward, followed right along and A. and M, was leading 6 to 1, the Jays counting on Miller's free throw.
Howard Engleman and Miller both hit from the floor and Engleman and Allen pitched in gift shots to give the homeliness into a swung 7 to 6 in a game was erased when Dodge plunked one near the netting from short side.
Ebling Scores
It was at this juncture that Allen went down in a wild melee and Kline and Ebling came into the game.
Ebling calmly tossed in a pair of charity shots on Renick's foul to send Kansas into a lead they never relinquished. The Jayhawk string began to hutge as Harp dumped in four points. The rest of the team had a comfortable $\Phi$-point margin to rest on.
Renick seemed to take charge in the Cowbys came back for the afterpiece. He drove in hard for two goals, but Harp and Allen each ripped the drygoody from the floor and the circle to run the margin to 27-16, the most they were ever ahead.
Play Is Close
Schwertfert and Renick, the visiting tall men, began playing in close and taking rebounds as their mates fired from long range. Schwertfert tipped one in after the ball bounced off the rim. Renick barged in with a full head of steam to count on a follow shot, and shot back. Schwertfert stitched the ball through when a mate missed fire at the free throw line.
This left Kansas only five points to the good, but Reid came through in the clutches for two baskets and Ebling calmly arched in a shot from the side to run the score to 34-25 over three minutes left. Kansas Stults
Kansas began freezing the ball as much as possible, but the Cowboys were coming out in a frantic effort to gain possession. Slade hit from the side after the visitors stole the ball, and Floyd made it a little

Hospital Releases Mary Hardman
Mary Alice Hardman, c4' 192 was released yesterday from Watkins Memorial hospital where she was taken for treatment after having been struck by an assault eight days ago as she was returning to the home of Dean Ivan C. Crawford, head of the School of Engineering, 1500 Stratford road. Mary Hardman is a guest of the Crawfords.
Miss Hardman was permitted to attend classes Monday, although she was not considered well enough to be released until yesterday. It was believed at first that she had received a fractured vertebra, but X-ray plates disclosed that the bone had not been broken.
She was struck on the side and back of the head by the assailant. The blows apparently were delivered by a heavy, blunt instrument, the attending physician said after examining the injuries.
The assailant fled when Miss Hardman screamed. No arrests have been made by police.
