Kansan Comment
Conversation Before Carnage
The "World of Tomorrow" is bankrupt and temporarily boarded up. The brilliant minds that planned the New York fair have their counterparts in the genius that has built civilization as it stands today, and the unhappy fate of the swamp-built enterprise is comparable to the triumph of futility in Europe. Man's dreams and ideals are so high and his potentialities so vast that the actuality of his achievement sometimes seems too small and petty, yet hope in a brighter future must not perish in wartime. To throw up one's hands now would be an intolerable breach of faith which the generations to come could never understand nor forgive.
America must prepare for peace in time of war. The present reaction to the war is the dangerous one of resigned pessimism, war news is not anxiously awaited, Congress has completed its legislative gymnastics and produced a declaration of our neutral rights, apparently an interim of international vacuum has settled down like a thick fck. Yet now is the time to blueprint the future, to deny the world is shambles, to settle the issue of peace before the military crap-game begins in earnest.
America should initiate peace negotiation now instead of next year or the year after. Mediation at this time would give peace with honor to Germany and the Allies. Neither side would "surrender" and the miserable farce of a "peace" written by the victors would be avoided. Trace now would allow the diplomats another try at saving their countries without the intervening animosity of war to cloud their logic and color their masterly treaty. If the so-called leaders of the world admit their failure to solve or alleviate the troubles of the nations and build a solid foundation for a lasting peace, what an indictment of civilization! Then the war could rage forever or until the strongest arm won.
Even wars must have a motive and a driving purpose behind them: Let America challenge the purpose of the proposed and inevitable carnage. Since the last war twenty years have gone by in which to prepare for another war and another peace; the warmakers have progressed, are the future peacemakers ready and available?
The so-called peace of 1918 was a tragedy of words and emotionalized bargaining, the conflict had involved all the great nations and truly neutral opinion was out of existence. Selfish fear of involvement neither protects nor excuses America from an obligation to attempt a solution of the hodge-podge in Europe. The new hemp lariat of our new-spun Neutrality legislation will be no protection against the subtle rattler, War.
Unless there is a World of Tomorrow, why legislate, or educate or graduate? If man today can think only of his own cave and the strength of his own club, rather than in terms of economic federation and intelligent abstractions, there is no peace.
Before the first quarter is over in the war, why not call time out to talk the whole thing over? Such a conference would not be a short or easily finished assignment. Hard-headed thought, research and public discussion on the problem is necessary now.
Now In November
From the Christian Science Monitor:
November is the silence after the symphony. October's orchestration, barbaric in its splendor as a Rimsky-Korskoff tone poem, echoes here and in the all but empty galleries of the woods, as bright fragments of sound echo in the thought, silently.
November is the gray twilight after a golden day. The scarlet, the orange, the yellow shafts of October's moon shine in the thought.
November is the hour alone in a quiet room, after an evening at the theater. The highlighted conflict, the movement, the crescendo of October's colorful crisis on crisis, pass through the thought, a series of episodes, whose meaning unfolds like wisdom.
November is the suspended moment after October's gathering of birds in the trees, in chattering thousands—a moment of sudden stillness when the chattering ceases, when the invisible signal passes from bird to bird, from bough to bough, and a myriad winged travelers set out for promised lands, a myriad thoughts in hopeful flight.
Editor's Note: Or is your philosophical day dreaming interrupted by mid-semester's?
--in the present war. The highly touted Nazi air arm has yet to prove its worth in sinking battle ships. The outcome of the predicted impending battle is of high importance to United States naval authorities. Should the Nazis destroy the navy with their airships then an abrupt demarche will be expected in our naval plans.
Or Do You
Prefer Bombers?
American as well as British naval authorities are anxious to learn the answer to the riddle of whether modern aircraft has rendered the huge and expensive battleship obsolete.
No specific answer has been given by action
At present nearly $800,000—is either invested or ready to be invested in the large type battleship. Younger naval officers are against laying our faith in the big boats but rather favor lighter cruisers, "pocket battleships" and more airplanes. The oldsters, however, are sticking to the hoary tradition of the grandiose and impressive "battlewagons." A major and conclusive battle in the North Sea between British ships and Nazi bombers may settle the question.
Advocates of the battleship may be right. Regardless of how Russia, Italy, and Germany scell at the floating monsters and praise their own "poor man's" navy, nations continue to build the large capital ships. Germany and Italy are building four each; the U.S. has eight in construction; Britain, nine; and France, five. The wisdom of tonnage versus maneuverability may be proved in the expected contest indefinitely scheduled on Mar's calendar.
--in a dispute, and Coach Woodruff of Kansas challenged the northern team to a return game from sunrise. The game was not escorted.

University Formed Football Club Fifty Years Ago
BY LEMON CORBIN, c. 50
FIFA, years ago this fall, football began with the University, in 1889, the University Daily Kansan come out with "What's the matter with the football club? We should endeavor to have some games this year with some of our neighboring colleges." And so it started. The next fall, practice began in earnest. The squad, made up of muttached, rurged men of the plains, appeared on the field dressed in light, cinematic one-piece coveralls, with a woolen sweater protecting the neck and arms. For lack of head-gears, which were unknown in those days, the players let their hair grow long and thick to absorb the shock. Gear had lasted 90 months until unfortunate ones a player was seriously injured. Fingernails, fists, teeth, teeth, slugging and tripping all added excitement to the affair, although most schools carried the use of knives, clubs, revolvers and black-jinks.
Early teams used the flying wedge. The center was the only man on the front line. All the other players were strung out behind him. The center snapped the ball back to one of the "backfield" and the wedge flew down the field. The rules declared that the ball carrier had to be stopped—not just knocked down, so pile-ups of 24 men were common, as the referees usually got mixed up in the tangle.
Football began to take on a more serious aspect, and the Women's Issue of the Kanan in 1877 described he Nebraska team as "a set of unentitlement sluggers." The Kanan-beskraka game of that year ended
Kansas played her first intercollege football game with Baker in 1800. Some say the score was 22-9 and others say 14-12, but all agree that Kansas won. Sherman of Kansas kicked the first field goal in Missouri Valley history, while the Baker team looked on in wonder, unable to lathom such a play. The 1801 team was undefeated, winning from Washburn and Baker twice Iowa state and the Kansas City Y.M.C.A. once, and the "championship of two sates" game from Missouri. The latter game was played in Exposition Park in Kansas City and the final score was 22-9.
In 1908, "Pop" Warner, famous coach and football authority, ranked Kansas third in Western football,head of such teams as Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa. Kansas beat Nebraska 20-5. (Those were the good old days of Kansas football.) Football has come a long way in the past two decades. The old harden-secure "beet trust" type of game has disappeared. The flying wedge is now illegal and the forward pass has become an effective ground gaining weapon. Football of today is safer, safer, and more scientific. But, just for the fun of it, this writer would like to see one of the old time games.
Hitler Escapes--for the amateur
Goring is dictator of the Pacific's self-sufficiency program and commander-in-chief of the air force who asserted yesterday that the war is **going "exceedingly favorably"** for Germany.
(Continued from page 12)
a speech in the beer cellar where he launched his abortive Putsch in 1893 that he made all preparations for an invasion. He asserted that the allies "Will never lay at low economically or militarily." On the day war broke out, Hitler said, he gave orders to Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering to make Germany strong enough to withstand a five-year's war, what matter the hardships.
"Even if the war lasts for five years Germany will never capitulate," Hitler said.
Heller said he ordered Goering on Sept. 3 to prepare for five years of war, not because he thought it would last that long in order to show that "Germany will never capitulate."
RIGHT OR WRONG?
He said he made *His last statement on the international situation on Oct. 3* in his "peace speech" before the Reichstag and that deeds rather than words would govern Germany's course from now on.
