Griddle vs. Gridiron, Then Sleep vs. Study
Turkey vs. Pigskin is the battle supreme to be waged in the midwest tomorrow climaxing the fall sport season. Long driving distances in this section of the country may account for a decisive Turkey win. Radios, however, will cause Turkey to compete with the drone of "double wing backs" and the fight may end up with only a moral victory for Turkey.
On the west coast Gridiron seems to have the edge over Griddle. Fine weather prospects there makes the chances for Griddle look pretty slim.
In the East if the weather is cold or damp the odds are about even on Ample-eaters resisting Amphitheaters. The outcome of games in the South will determine the teams to appear in the New Year's conflict. Best bets now seem to indicate that Rose Bowl will take on Gravvy Bowl.
In any event the classic fights of Thursday should prove more interesting than the Study vs. Sleep tilt due to come on Friday next.
Touchfootball Injuries Not All Due to Rough Fields
The slugging incident which occurred during one of last week's intramural touch football games leads one to wonder what causes so much bad blood in these "big games for little people."
Here is a consensus of several reports on last week's affair. Henry Blickenstiffer (a name to be used for the usual obvious reasons) tripped Joe Blow (used for similar reasons) several times as the latter was wending his way downfield, entertaining high hopes of catching a pass. After experiencing three or four such trippings, Mister Blow decided too much was enough and warned that another of the same would lead him to take matters in his own hands.
Either Blickenstiffer didn't believe what he was told, or he was more foolish than he now looks. But at any rate he again tripped his opponent, and in a short while was the none too proud possessor of a broken nose—the result of a crashing hook from Joe Blow's fist.
Incidents of this nature are probably due to the failure of officials to deal with violations of the clues because of one of these two reasons: (1) They show partiality to certain friends or groups of friends in making decisions, or (2) they are incompetent from a technical standpoint.
In the case of the Blickenstiffer-Blow encounter both principals were very much to blame. Blickenstiffer had no business tripping his opponent in the first place. But if he did, and the referee continued not to notice, it was the duty of Blow to ask the alleged official to look into the situation. Under no circumstances could he be excused for taking the matter in hand himself.
Let's hope that the intramural cage season will not be marred by incidents of this nature.
This case should be dealt with sternly by the intramural administration. As the basketball season approaches, serious thought should be given to the selection of officials and the curbing of bursts of temper on the floor.
Germany Marches On Into Latin Americas
German activity on the United States' doorstep, Latin America, is pertinent to examine at this time with the relationship between the United States and Germany becoming more and more strained. Germany's action has repeatedly become more and more aggressive in the several fields which interest her.
Trade between Germany and the Latin American countries has increased immensely under the Hitler regime. The Reich's system of bartering, trade subsidies, and government-controlled purchasing has been a means of forcing changes in the buying and selling of many commodities in Latin America. England and the United States cannot compete against the Nazi system unless drastic changes in foreign policies are undertaken and carried out.
Along with its economic expansion, Germany has pushed forward an elaborate scheme of news and propaganda dissemination. A radio teletype monopoly called the Heil service has been distributed throughout Latin America by the German News Agency. Inductions include free installation and service at only the cost of equipment.
The same "news agency," controlled by the German government, also has a broadcasting service called Transocean, which transmits from 7.15 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. alternating in French and German. Radio sets of German
make, constructed to receive only German broadcasts, are sold cheaply, or given away in many Latin American countries. Meanwhile German transmitters hash up other programs on the air, for the benefit of those sets which could otherwise get other broadcasts.
The philosophy of the Germans abroad has not been neglected by the Nazi powers, as can be imagined. Bunds and Nazi youth organizations exist in all the Latin Americas. Gestapo agents keep talkative anti-Nazis quiet by bringing economic pressure on the outspoken ones. Jew-baiting articles have been distributed from Argentine to Mexico. Hitler's ideas are falling upon fertile ground in countries where democracy has had an uphill battle to hold its own anyway.
To counteract fascist influences in Latin America, and to regain lost markets, the United States must employ methods which attract and profit these countries. Bartering and government controlled trade are two suggestions offered. Co-operation with Britain and France in outlining suitable methods of defense to protect vital interests is another possible plan. Finally, the United States must combat foreign propaganda with similar propaganda from the States.

Dear Irate:
Intramural touch football games are referred almost entirely by volunteer officials. Glaring errors are often made by football officials who receive much more abuse for their services. It would have been impossible to conduct touch football games this fall without the assistance of volunteer officials. Their work has been generally appreciated.
E. R. ELBEL, Director of Intramurals
Editor, Daily Kansan:
University authorities when compiling a list of the student's expenses here, failed to include a sizable sum for "Tipping-Library attendants". This would take up more than $2 million. The university could a cure a little service from the demi-gods of the deck.
The students who work in the library should be given lessons in "public service manners" to overcome that heart tradition of "make the customer feel like an unmitigated nuisance." Persons who have daily contact with the public should know the necessity of a willing and helpful attitude.
This is not a kick against having to wait for books, but against the boorish superiority of certain attendants. Nor is it just one person's grievance. This kicks back to the very same complaint among themselves about the same matter.
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER.

Annual Holiday Celebrates Faith of Plymouth Pilgrims
By Mary Jane Sigler, c19
The president of the United States and the governors of the 48 states annually proclaim the fourth Thursday in November a national holiday, and a day to be set aside for thanksgiving and for rest. Accordingly, factories, stores, and offices will not be open for business tomorrow, and schools and colleges will close their portals for the national observance.
Three hundred and seventeen years ago, by declaration of William Bradford, governor of Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, the colonists held a feast of Thanksgiving, praising God for their first harvest in the New World. The present-day Thanksgiving is yet a day of feasting, but the religious origin of the holiday has largely been forgotten. A celebration of life at the pilgrimage of Plymouth Colony had little to be grateful for. True, they had their harvest of food, their stuunch religious faith, and a firm hope for the future, but they had scarcely anything in the way of material comforts, one-half their number had died from exposure during the first winter, and they were in a country yet strange and in constant fear of Indian raids.
December 21, 1620 about a hundred English Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, founding the first permanent white settlement in New England. They had left England because of religious persecution, and after spending several years in Holland in exile, had sailed on the "Mayflower" for America with a warrant from the London Company for settlement of the virgin territory.
Before landing the Pilgrims signed a democratic compact of government—the Mayflower Compact, believed to be the earliest written constitution in history. Forty-one persons signed this document, in which they did "solely and mutually" and combine into a civil body politic.
William Bradford, perhaps the best-known of the early-day settlers, succeeded the colony's first

On this festive occasion we are thankful that the Pilgrims landed in November instead of August; that there is no daily Kansan until next Tuesday; that the professors on the campus are so understandable that the flies finally left the library; that it hasn't snowed anymore than it has this fall; that there are actresses in the movies like Bette Davis and Louise Rainer; that there has been a paucity of Robert Taylor and Nelson Eddy picture year; that the orchestra, played Technicolor's Funky Daisy, Desscott chorus is returning; that the Kansan players are putting on a Neel Coward play; and that Lacile Wagner is playing the lead.
We wish to thank: Professor Flint for being Professor Flint; Tom Yoe for the first issue of the Jayhawker; Chancellor Lindley for a holiday; Robert Hagen for getting us up every morning; Allen Crafton for his gift of story-telling; Louis Focke for occasional roles in Josephine; Mary Robben Scott for "Julle" in "Lilion"; Helen Geis for his smile for Kareneth Lewis for editing our copy; Prof. Pattern for making Renissance Italy live; and Jim Robertson for giving us something to write about when there's nothing important to comment upon.
Modern youth is certainly a glutton for punishment. They are flocking to the lectures on marriage which are being sponsored in Lawrence. But the lectures they receive there will be nothing like the ones they'll receive after they are married.

governor, John Carver, upon Carver's death in April, 1621. Elections were held annually, and from 1621 until his death in 1657, Bradford was elected governor every year except five. He governed well, and more than any other man is responsible for the prosperity of the colony in later years. His tact and kindness in dealing with the Indians helped make for friendship between the red man and the white man.
In 1627 Plymouth became a corporate city and severed relations with the London Company. All of the colonists convened for the General Court, which was the legislative house of the Kingdom. However, in 1636 other towns were formed and representative government came into being.
Plymouth Holds Many Landmarks
Sir Edmard Andros was commissioned governor of all New England in 1686, and Plymouth Colony chose representatives to sit in his council. The Colony's name is the mononym of Plymouth were united to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which had been founded in 1628.
Today the town of Plymouth contains many interesting landmarks of its Pilgrim beginnings—Plymouth Rock, Cole's Hill, where many who died that first winter are buried, and a marble obelisk erected in memory of Governor Bradford in 1855 Pilgrim Hall houses many relics, among them the only portrait of a Mayflower passenger, from Governor's Bible, and the sword of Captain Miles Standish, the colony's military leader.
Outstanding among the memorials is the national monument to the Forefathers, begun in 1859, and built entirely of granite. A figure 36 feet high representing the Pilgrim faith stands on a pedestal 45 feet high. Four figures are seated about the pedestal, Morality, Education, Law, and Freedom—the character traits of the Pilgrim forefathers enabled him to succeed in the New World, and led them to declare the first Thanksgiving, whih hour nation commemorates tomorrow:

Last week Stew abandoned it to its 'fate' and the little hat went the way of all flesh, leaving only this department to mourn.

After that trifling episode flooged down to Bricks, and I can even remember when Brickens owned it, to pay a call on Eddie Penchard with whom I practically wore diapers my dear not to mention learning to play sax at the same time I shan’t ever forgive him because he played violin at the same time which lowered him I thought—the dot ‘well,’ before I go back to the piano and jelly—where‘n thunder’s (ed note: thunder is our word, not Joe) that sandwich I ordered jert still has the same tendencies for grazing the hair that it use to have. I asked him if his business was all right and stuff to which he promptly answered, “Well, sometimes I think waas (meaning yes) and then I don’t know but anybody who knows that what we call the sound is really mellow” that My Flatfoot Reverie was written by Larry Clinton and that it’s not Maisie, or do they?” So I stole quietly over to Franeses, paid my check, AND MY MILL, and bolted for the door.

Jim Robertson, who was kind enough the 27th time I was introduced to him to ask me if I'd submit a little by play here for him, related to me the sad, tale of the Pithecantropheus Erectus Age tie that some loving brother in the world has given me, the way between here and there the other day. Sez he in effect, it was a nice tie, a good tie, and fuddermur a demned good tie and I hated part with it, or that is, have it part from itself and that kinda included me. However I have the true version of said tie from my old pal Robertson, but within the lowest confines of this word mill. Schiller states most emphatically that a menu fit for a King could be ordered just by pointing to the spots on the unlovely cra-
This parting note will not, I hope, sound too much like "Now when I was here in 96" but in all seriouspass I'd like to congratulate the entire student body on two things. Those things are the attractiveness of the feminine contingent and the smart clothes of the whole "business." Naturally I include the men in the entire salad of felicitation because . . . well, kid you know how it is.
