Kansas' swimmers, under the direction of James Rapport, will engage in heavy workouts every night this week in preparation for the meet. The squad has been practicing for several weeks and should be in fairly good shape when they start against the Cyclones.

The Cyclone team is spearheaded by George Haldeman, captain and Midwest A.A.U. and Big Six conference champion in the breast stroke.

1021 Mass. St.
Leading the pack at the end of the halfway mark are the Phil Delt's and Delta Chi's in division I, the Galloping Ghosts in division II, Alpha Kappa Phi and Hhellounds in division III, Phil Delt "B" and Delta Chi "B" in division IV, and Beta "(C) and Phil Delt "C" in division V.
Chi "B" in division IV, and Bethe "C" and Phi Delt "C" in division V. The Phi Delt's and Delta Chi have both scored five victories with no losses to maintain a perfect percentage and apparently will battle it out for first place in their division when they face each other. The Galloping Ghosts, last year's touring team, are ranked second in pace Division II and their overwhelming victories registered in the first tap, make them favorites to finish in first place. They have seven triumphs against no defeats. Alpha Kappa Pai and the Hellhounds have each won six games while retaining an undefeated record and should finish at the top of their division. The Pai's have an aggregation of heavy hitting sharpshooters and should have little difficulty in maintaining their presen
Beta "C" and Phi Delt "C" both have finished the half way mark undefended while chalking up four and three victories respectively Should all the Phi Delt teams continue their present pace, each should finish at the top of its respective division.
Delta Chi and Phi Delt "B" teams continue to hold an unblemished record and in the meantime have chalked up five triumphs to lead division IV. Phi Giam "B" also won four victories against no losses
Schedules for next week's games will appear in the Kanas later this week as there will be no games in January. There will be the gymnasium for enrollment purposes.
University Geologists Speak At Atchison Oil Conference
K. K. Landes, professor of geology and head of the Kansas State Geological Survey, and R. C. Moore, chairman of the department of geology and state geologist, were in Atchison yesterday where they addressed a meeting attended by more than three hundred farmers and land owners interested in the production of oil and gas in northeastern Kansas.
Doctor Landes reports considerable activity and leasing of land in that locality which will be the scene of the drilling of test wells by several large companies in the next few months.
At The Granada
Research on State Minerals Needed
The state of Kansas is awakening to the value of developing industries from its vast mineral resources, but more support is needed to increase opportunity for research, recording K. K. Lander, professor of geology.
The big need today is a larger plant and better equipment for research workers, said Landes, who is assistant director of the Kansas Geological Survey. There is a great demand in the industry which produces no immediate results but forms the basis for future developments, he added.
As examples of the fruits of research and experimentation Doctor Landes points to the rock wool industry, the use of volcanic ash in cleaning mixtures, and the utilization of the large deposits of clay in producing fire brick and white or cream colored pottery.
Chalk deposits, large fields of Bentonite, a special mud used in rotary drilling operations, gypsum and other minerals of Kansas all open possibilities for new industries, once a thorough study of their uses has been made, the University professor concluded.
Scholastic Bug Bites Jayhawk Trackmen
Scholastic difficulties cast a cloomy light on the prospects of a successful season for the Jayhawker track squad as they prepare to swing into indoor competition with Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday.
Ray Harris, sensational Kansas sophomore who last week ran a 4:21 mile on the indoor track and turned in a 9:27 two-mile fall, was erased from the eligibility list by an incomplete. He will be given an opportunity to make up the work in two weeks so that he will be ready to take part in the Illinois Rifles of developing into one of the greatest distance runners ever to wear a pair of Kansas spikes.

Due to classroom reverses, Dick Ash and John Ryder, two sophomore quarter milers are out for the season. Chris Eberhart, sophomore quarter and half miler will be unable to participate in the Nebraska meet because of a foot injury. With all of last year's quarter milers gone, these late reverses leave Kansas weak in that event.

"HURRICANE"
"The
STORM"
Kansas finally "bought" an athlete, but he got away. And in addition to losing a basketball player, some five students live at 1325 West Campus Road lost several hundred dollars worth of personal belongings to one "James G. Livingston," their former roommate.
"Jimmie," as he was becoming more popular called practiced basketball with the freshmen squad on Wednesday and Thursday and then left town some time Friday night with a few "borrowed" articles. The theft was not discovered until Saturday, due to a clever bit of camouflaging by the former roomer. He left his own topcat and several other personal articles and note in which he stated that he left for New Orleans for his car and that he would be back Tuesday.
State U. 'Buys' An Athlete But It Costs Students
"COWBOY FROM BROOKLYN"
By Clavelle Holden. c'40
"Mr Livingston" appeared at the Athletic office last Tuesday and stated that he planned to enter the University. He told "Toon" Allen to play basketball at Tulane University, where he had majored in bacteriology.
Get Clue From Slips of Paper
The next clue to his whereabouts came as a result of a name of a University student written on a slip of paper that was found under his dresser scarf last night. This student, who lived in Tulsa, informed the Douglas county attorney that he was living in the Hotel Tulsa yesterday morning. A call to the detective bureau of Tulsa brought the reply that he had

checked out of the hotel yesterday, stating that he was on his way to New Orleans. A pick-up order with a description was wired in New Orleans.
The young man could be described by one word "smooth." He was about 25 years of age, dark complexion, black hair parted in the middle, dark eyes, walked with a slight stoop, and a very fluent conversationist.
Doctor Allen asked him if he knew a certain professor at Tulane, and "Livingston" reported that he had not been at Tulane for several years due to a job he had in South America.
The Associated Press reports that no one by the name of "James G. Livingston" has played basketball at Tulane for the last ten years.
No Livingston At Tulane
After his first evening the court practice the southern "gentleman" stated that tennis was his game; that he was really better than Cliff Sucker, who hails from New Orleans. When Howell had a few sets and play a few sets of tennis with him, he said he didn't feel much like playing tennis that day.
With the fairer sex "Mr. Livingston" fared much better. According to one of the boys at 1325 West Campus Road "Jimmie" has dates from 1984 and is probably her better looking sorority "coeds". Take it from us, gals, don't wait.
Approximately one-fourth of University of Texas students who take pure and applied mathematics end their courses with failing grades.
Mac Wynne Takes Speaking Honors
Mae Wynne, c'40, was declared the winner of the "What's the Matte with Kansas" contest sponsored by station WHEN last week. Harold Mulligan, c'39, nosed out Blaine Cox, b'21, by one vote to take second place.
The winners of the contest were decided by the votes of the three judges and the radio audience. The judges had previously declared Grimes the winner. Seven hundred fans were cast by radio fans in the contest.
The winners in the "What's the Matter With Missouri" contest will be announced Thursday. Five University students, Mary Frances McAnaw, c'42, John Oakson, c'40, John Lintner, c'39, Elden Smith, c'39, Jim Brockett, c'40, participated in this speech contest.
Those students who passed the preliminary physical examination for flying instruction must fill out applications at the office of Prof. Earl D. Hay immediately.
