LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1938
Three hours of hopes, prayers and cheers that in the past have driven Kansas football teams to victory will be crowded into a 15-minute rally tonight, as the Joshawker and the Titans prepare for the fifth renewal of the Irish war.
Pep leaders predict a record send-off throng will mob the Santa Festa station when Coach Ad Lindsay and company start their jaint to Notre Dame at 8:09 p.m. The rally will get under way at 7:45.
Although no official rooting delegation will make the trip, several carloads of University supporter have been organizing the past week Coupled with Chicago alumni, the student fans will be like fleas on an elephant's back in the big Notre Dame stadium.
Javhawkers Are Underdogs
Imprumpt speeches will be heard from the coaching staff, Game Captain Lyman Divers, and other squad members who will be persuaded to voice their hopes.
Conquerors of Dana Bible's University of Texas Longhorns, the Kansas will face the famous Irish eleven Saturday with only the inspiration from a rousing goodbye and the incentive from the hearts of thousands of Jayhawker radio listeners to offset their understanding.
Director Russell Wiley will have the University Band on hand for the ceremonies tonight. Yells will be led by the Ku Ku's and Jay
No Rooting Delegation
Two members of the KANSAN sports staff, Lester Kappelman, c'39 and Jim Bell, c40 left last night for South Bend to cover the game. Their eye-witness accounts will be printed ~ the Sunday issue.
Because Notre Dame athletic officials prohibit commercial broadcasts, no direct radio report of the game can be received in Lawrence. Station WREN will present a play-by-play description from leased wire reports Saturday starting at 1:55 pm.
No Direct Radio Report
Saturday's game will mark the fifth meeting between Notre Dame and Kansas. The series began in 1903 with Kansas winning 24-5 at Lawrence. The next game, played at Lawrence, in 1902 when the Irish rolled to win 24-6 and the Jayhawks had scored first.

Some come pans mail from the West Hills rural district yesterday which undoubtedly expresses the opinion of many readers. Being a Sigma mug, the sender did not squander two cents on a slam but had a bledge delivered. Except for some cunning in punctuation, and grammar, the letter is here printed as received. Quote: Dear Shin.
☆ ☆ ☆
This year I have been wrong. Last Friday was one of your best efforts. This morning was even better in that it was so un-expected (the Shin was printed on neither of these days). You are indeed conspicuous by your very absence and would do well to remain that way.
I have been here on West Hills for many a year now and I have watched a good many things go from bad to worse. Others time is short, so I am personally I can count on the Shin for being a sure bide to worsen.

Six students, who had been working secretly at night in the press room of the Daily Kansan, were responsible for the first copy of what has become known as one of the outstanding college humor magazines in the count-
this announcement: "And now, men we have just one more attraction for you this evening. You have never before seen nor heard what of it is now to fly forth." With these words the curious gridsters were introduced to a small yellow pamphlet-Vol. 1. No. 1 of the Sour Owl.
However, University authorities were not entirely in sympathy with the type of humor displayed in the new publication and an investigation was started. The "culprits" were not discovered and the investigation was dropped, but only result began that University received some valuable publicity.
A group known as the "Owl Publishing Company" (because all of the work was done at night) continued to foster the humor sheet until 1924 by Bola Gh. professioned journalism fraternity, took over the publication.

Nazi Troops To Take Possession in Peace
Less than 24 Hours from Der Fuehrer's Deadline For War Premiers Dismember Czechoslovakia and Sign Peace Pact After 12 Hours Deliberation at Munich.
London, Sept. 30, (Friday)—(U.P.)—Europe returned to the ways of peace today as the premiers of the "big four"—Britain, France, Italy, and Germany—signed a peace plan for settling the German tech crisis, after the worst war scare the world has experienced 20 years.
The peace plan, providing for drastic dismemberment of Czechoslovakia was signed in Munich, by the four premiers shortly after midnight Thursday—less than 24 hours from the time set by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany as the absolute deadline for war.
Sometime after midnight Friday, German troops, doffing their steel helmets as a signal of peace, will cross the Czech
F.D.R. Sets Day For Prayer
President Asks Nation To Join in Thanks-giving for Peace
Washington, Sept. 29.—(U.P.)-
President Roosevelt tonight invited
the nation to join him and his
family for a celebration for
preservation of world peace
The invitation came shortly after it was disclosed that Mr. Roosevelt had appealed to virtually all major world powers to join him in asking Chancellor Hitler to resort to war instead of being in the German-Czech crisis.
The White House announced that the President had received hundreds of telegrams from clergymen and various religious bodies rung him in set aside a day for prayer, but he should provide such a day.
Instead, he decided simply to ask the people that on this coming Sunday they offer a prayer for the continued peace of the world.
It was believed that the President and his family would make their own supplication when they attend regular services at St. Thomas church.
Meantime reports from Russia, Japan, Norway, and several Latin-American republics indicated the broad scope of the President's efforts to bring about a peaceful settlement of the European impasse by urging them to intervene in an attempt to avert war.
The White House and state department would not say, however, whether the messages had been sent to the G3 nations which last year received a Roosevelt peace round-robin. State department spokesman said he added information that the nation's peace formation would have to come from abroad, while the White House explained that the President did not wish to put himself on the back for any contribution that he might have made toward averting war. Diplomatic circles are generally expressing belief that the President sent peace plea to major nations throughout the world, attached considerable significance to the White House admission that President Roosevelt had communicated with Premier Muissolini of the same time the latter telephoned to Führer Adolf Hitler about the war or peace meeting.
Movie To Be Shown at Creative Leisure Meeting
"A Death in the Family" is the title of the movie which will be shown at the first meeting of the Creative Leisure Commission at 2:30 Sunday afternoon at Henley house. This movie was filmed by this commission last year in the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Several articles made in the craft shop last fall will be displayed and pictures of the 1837 Estes Conference will be shown.
Marjorie Wiley, c'41, and Charles Yeomans, c'40, have charge of the program. They invite all students interested in this subject, to attend
*frontiers for a "token" occupation of the outer fringe of Sudetenland—but not as military invaders.
The agreement was reached after 12 hours of deliberation by the negotiators wedged in the brown-walled conference room of the great Nazi Fuehrer house Beychegsiden in Munich, and it was hailed around the world as having avered--for the moment at least--what seemed an almost certain outbreak of war.
Under the agreement, Czechoslovakia ust turn over immediately to Germany the areas which Hitler described as "preponderantly German." This must be completed within 10 days from tomorrow, Oct. 1. After that pl�ebisies under international control will be held in other areas where large numbers of Germans live.
Hiller had sworn he would march over the Czech front by Saturday either in peace or by force, and he kept his oath.
As the four premiers—Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Edouard Daladier of France, Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Hitler—out of the big brown stone building a sigh of relief went up from Europe which had not drawn an easy breath in 15 critical days.
Hiller immediately sent out orders which will start his troops into Czecho-slovakia on Saturday.
They will go in to absorb into, the German reich all the border areas of Checho-oslavia which are preponderantly German, and thus fulfil for Hitler the vow he made to Sudenten Germans early this year that he would never rest until the Germans beyond the frontier were under the protection of the greater rice.
The sasirife of Czecho-slovakia on the alter of peace had not been officially confirmed by the Czech themselves at an early hour today. The French President Pierre Pompidou assured Hitler that the Munich agreement would be accepted.

Tornadoes Kill Score In Carolinas
Charleston Damage Is Placed at $2,000,000; 315 Injured: Roosevelt Sends Troops
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 29—(U.P.)
—Soldiers of the regular army and
national guardmen tonight patrolled
30 debris-strewn blocks of this historic old southern city where two rapid-fire tornadoes had killed more than a score of persons, injured 31, and caused property damage estimated at $2,000,000.
The first tornado struck the northern section of the city a few minutes after 8 a.m. Its intensity was felt only momentarily. There was fire and another violent tornado hit the battery and business section.
The storm wrecked and damaged mar ... during plants, old build- $ ^{102}$ colonial homes dating back to the Revolution. Trees and communication poles were snapped. Roofs were blown off, autos overturned, power cut off, and streets littered with debris.
Torrential rains preceded the tornado and continued for six hours afterward. President Roosevelt in Washington ordered the army, navy marine corps, WPA, CCC, and other federal agencies to aid the cities in clearing the devastated areas and in giving relief to those in need.
Bodies of 25 victims—10 white persons, and 15 negroes had been recovered early tonight. Fieren and the men involved continued to dig through the ruins.
Small frame houses caught in the torrents' vacuum exploded like matchwood. Five dead were found and four in another, one residence and four in another.
