Forty Jaghawkers Will Don Bibs When First Call for Training Table Is Given
The football training table will be spread for the first time at 6:30 in night in the dining room of the Memorial Union building, it was announced yesterday by Gwim Henry, director of athletics. Miss Hernia Zinki University food service will have charge of serving the 90 football men.
All schools in the conference were given permission to sponsor the training tables, but were not required to do so. The only restriction placed on the members was that not more than $1,000 could be spent for food and no instructions could be given at the table.
Arrangements for the football training table were completed yesterday morning, thus making a real plan which was suggested last May by the athletic directors at their conference.
The introduction of the training table was met with much favor by Coch<sup>b</sup> Lindley as it affords his players an opportunity to be served meals which they require after an afternoon of hard practice.

This is one of those days when Ye Shinster mind is as barren as old Mother Hubbard's cupboard and a sheet of copy paper looks as long as the Lincoln highway backdrop for Good Girl Friday. On second thought, I wish that I had a good girl Saturday night for the Washburn varsity.

Lindley Opens Fall Senate
University Executives Are Told of Problems Facing Educators
"For every bright youth in college there is another bright youth, probably in the lower income group, who could profit by a college education," Chancellor E. H. Lindsey told the University Senate in its first fall meeting yesterday afternoon. "The problem is that we are not providing college education to all who can profit from it." The chancellor added.
Dr. Lindley called attention to the increase of Kansas students in the University this year, with only a slight drop in the out-of-state registration, and he spoke also of the increased academic ratings due to the number of NYA students, who are a selected group—selected from many applicants, and chosen because of scholarship, training, and evidence of ability to profit by college work.
The Chancellor spoke also of the Carnegie Foundation study of academic result in institutions of higher learning in Pennsylvania, and suggested that the Senate, at some convenient time, should hear a more detailed report of the Carnegie study.
Dr. W. H. Shoemaker, chairman of the department of romance languages, and Dr. V. P. Hessler, chairman of the department of electrical engineering, both members of the faculty, were introduced by their respective deans.
The Chancellor appointed E. D. Hay, F. C. Allen, and Miss Morgan as a committee to nominate an associate secretary for the Senate.

Chinese Junk Conquers Pacific In Lone Voyage
San Pedro, Calif., Oct. 4. (UP)—An amazing 85-day voyage across the broad Pacific in a tiny Chinese junk only one-tenth as large as Christopher Columbus' Santa Maria was completed tonight by a crew of two men, a woman, and a captain who knows nothing about sailing.
The captain, Dr. E. Allen Peterson, 37-year-old Los Angeles osteo-pather steered his rickety "Hummel-Hummel" into Los Angeles harbor shortly before dusk, accompanied by his young Japanese bride, Tane, whom he married in Mexico, two years ago, and two Russians, Nick Perminoff, 25, and Ivan Boulok, 19, hired in Shanghai to sail the uninhabited 56-foot boat a quarter of the way around the world.
It was not sighted until Sept. 3 when the steamship Steamboat saigned it 1,700 miles from San Francisco.
To fulfill a life-long ambition, Dr. Peterson bought the "Hummel-Hummel" in Shanghai for $250, and sailed it to Yokohama last June as a test of its sea-worthiness. On July 12 the tiny boat, which has a displacement of only 10 tons, compared to the 100 tons of a ship built by Columbia crossed the Atlantic, pointed its high bow out of Yokohama.
Coast guard officers were amazed at the venturous voyage of more than six thousand miles, and had made a similar craft had ever made such a length trip.

Three Comics
Card Display at Game
Ten University cheerleaders, headed by senior leader Jack Nessley, c'39, were chosen at tryouts held in Memorial stadium yesterday after noon.

The three upperclassen, Nessly, Schwaller and Leydard, will lead yells at the games and rallies. Although the freshmen and sophomores not will be used in this capacity, they will gain experience by helping to plan rallies and pep programs, Nessly asserts.
The "card display" system will be used extensively at home games this week, weaving pictures and catch-alls from the photos to the grandstand by Kansas roots.
A unique stunt will be carried out during the Washburn game Saturday when cheerleaders lead the student section in yelling and spelling out "Kansas" with the placards. This is a complicated procedure and requires the team to use intensity so the plan in order to have it performed by Saturday.
