Craddock end Jackson were the winning pitches. McNally and Kleweno hurled the first game for Kansas Brass and Lewis pitched the second As in every home performances, Kansas errors paved the way for the Sooner hits victories in both games. Twelve hits, coupled with seven Kansas errors, gave the southerners their top-heavy score in the first round. But the Rockies made in the second tilt, but four errors made victory easy for Oklahoma. The Sooners scored in all but three innings of the first game as they combed McNally, starting pitcher, and Kleweno, for 12 hits. Oklahoma got to McNally for nine hits and 11 runs before Kleweno came in and held them down for the remainder of the distance. Six Runs in Fourth Klewero allowed only three hits in his stay on the mound. The Sooners had already done their damage, however, by scoring three runs in the first inning, two in the second, and six in the big fourth. It was in the fourth inning that the Oklahomans put the first game on ice. Six hits, one of them a three-run-producing triple by Gulledge, and three errors, brought in a scoring run,送 McNally to the cheers. Kansas made a game of it by scoring five runs in the second inning, three runs in the third, two runs in a double, the Kansas men. Kansas tallied Continued on page 3 on the SHIN by Hugh Wire and Dorothy Netherton Z229 It is rumored that the pink and blue kiddies on Tennessee street were a bit resentful the other night when the Pi Phi freshmen serenaded. Instead of the usual cheering and clapping, the youngsters were conjoined with hostess and shirts of "Scream - go home". Probably the boys didn't like to have their tea party interrupted before going to bed. We hear that the Romes of Sigram Chi, Steve Howbert, is so jealous of Rosie Barr that he listens in on all of her telephone conversations when he is at the Theta house. To make matters "worse," we are told that he relays his information to Bill Miessner, a brother from the same lodge. POME NUMBER 155 I have a song of woe and wrong Done by women here at college.

NOTICE Remember the fight scene in "Penrod and Sam"? Well, about 35 of the "former" moneyed ladies who are registered in this finishing school on the Kaw decided to re-enact the scene at the carnival Friday night. "Sob sister!" Mary Lour Borders reports the presence of carnival thurs with knives, guns, brass and lead pipes and a couple of costumes. Said Borders, "I grabbed the other girls and scrammed." With that the carnival board of directors went into a huddle and decided to pay a $1/2 of 1 per cent dividend to the "jayhawks." Jack Townsend got the five they coughed up. The colliick bullies then went home and slept happily till 10:30 the next morning; There will be a very important meeting of the Progressive Student Government League to night at 10:30 at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house. All members are urged to be present. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MAY 15, 1838 WILBUR LEONARD, Chairman Gamblers Close Shop Carnival Management Facing $100 Fine, Obeys Sheriff's Orders If there was any gambling done at the carnival grounds last night, it was between the "game" operators themselves. Faced with a fine of $100 if they opened up, operators of gambling devices remained close as was ordered by Sheriff Fred Vogler. The carnival closed its run here last night after a strenuous but profitable week at the hands of Kansas Jayhawkers. Students were taken for sizable amounts during the first four nights and only on Friday did they make any organized protest. Friday night's difficulties arose after a University student had been talked out of $5 in much the same way that many of his fellow Jayhawkers had dropped up to $40 in previous nights. Before the controversy had been settled, a call had been put in to the sheriff and police officers. County Attorney Charles Springer and three Lawrence city policemen had arrived on the scene. Roulette Wheel 'Hits' The student had taken a date to the carnival for a hit of an outing. The date suggested they try for a prize on the roulette wheel game, a prize on the roulette wheel gag, the Student's spent a nickel, then a dime, and failing to win, dropped out. When on the next spin the wheel "hit" and a "come-on" man was paid off $25, the operator informed the pair they had won by that amount, who the student show $5 to prove he was not playing on his "nerve." When the money was produced, it was promptly taken by the operator, who said another spin was necessary. On that spin, the wheel failed to "hit" of course. A protest was made to no avail whereupon the Jayhawker gathered around him nearly a hundred students who were on the grounds and returned to the stand to demand his money. Backed by his determined supporters the student was successful. Following this affair, the law was called and the authorities suggested to the carnival management that the show be closed to avoid further trouble that night. This was done, the lights going off about 10:45. Lights Off at 10:45 Last night extra deputies were ordered to the grounds to avoid several reported plans to mob the games. However, all the trouble-some stands were shut down and the excitement of the evening was limited to the screams of thrill-seekers who rode the loophole plane. One member of the carnival organization said he had been with the group about 18 months and was the first town where any opposition was ever heard. And ever, a show girl said the same trouble arose almost every week.

Mother Goose Rhymes Caper In Student Design Exhibit By Frierea Cowles, c. 10 "I saw a ship a-sailing A-sailings on the sea And oh! it was loaded With good things for those. The captain was a duck On the deck, on the back; When the ship began to move The captain said, "Quack, quack!" The four and twenty sailors That stood between the decks Were four and twenty white mite With chains about their necks." Rv Frieda Cowles. c'40 If you have a weakness for Mother Goose rhymes, you simply can't help loving the drapery and chinz designs displayed in the corridor on the third floor of west Frank Strong hall. Eloise Foile, fa'40, has illustrated the above rhyme with ships, and ducks, and mice with long graceful tails. Alta Armstrong, fa39, portrays the mouse who ran up the clock and was frightened away when it struck one. On alternate squares, she tells the lives of three characters who "laws" in bed till eight or seven, and don't get up to feed the swine." And your children are gone." Bugs peer from the grasses and view the horrible catastrophe with open mouths and uplifting arms (or legs, if you like) in the design made by Gene Holmberg, fa40. Baby Bug Baby Fly Queen home!

Charles Shipley, fa'40, caught him in the act of the discovery and continue the story. "The Queen of Hearts She made some tarts—" Virginia Hawkins, fa38, has given us a modern Old King Cole in chintz design. He is not quite so good as his brother, but he likes its pipe and bowl.

They all run after They all run after She cut off their tails With a carving knife—' Heartless creature! She races after the fleeing mice, who race after her. One of the mice wears a barrel (or modem case) for safety in yellow shirt and blue shorts. And the frightful spider that frightened Miss Muffet is not forgotten. Jeanne Alternet, 4o, put him right in the center of a web of his own weaving. We hope that he stays there, but from the expression on Miss Muffet's face we know she thinks he will be out before long.

Fifth Positive Test Found Seniors Urged To Take Wassermanns Before Commencement Wassermann tests are given free at Watkins Memorial hospital to all University students. After they leave school, they will have to pay a minimum fee of $5 a test at any other hospital. Students coming back next year will be able to take the test then. Students who are not coming back will not have that opportunity. Five positive reactions have been reported by the Watkins Memorial hospital from the 1,294 Wassermann tests that have been given since Dec 15 last year, when equipment was installed and the tests were begun. Out of the first 1,000 tests given here, only one showed positive reaction; while out of the remaining 294 tests, four showed positive reactions. In every one of the five cases, the infection was unsuspected—the students did not know that they had syphilis. Dr. Ralph L. Canuteson, director of the University health bureau, urges all seniors to take the Wasser-mann test before leaving school. Seniors will be given preference in case the hospital becomes rushed. Arrangements are being made for the care of apiphils cases which are discoverable five per year. Careful attention must be cured, according to Doctor Canuteson. "Stomp Out Syphilis" posters have been placed by the Daily Kanan in different buildings on the Campus. The posters will be given free until June 3. Lindsey and Getto Report Shirk's Condition Improving Dave Shirk, Jayhawk football star who is under treatment for an eye infection at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, Kan, was reported much improved yesterday by Coaches Ad Lindsay and Mike Getto, who visited him Friday. The University Daily Kanson started the campaign for Wasserman test about a year ago. At that time the students demonstrated that they were 100 per cent in favor of the Wassermann test. However, the student response to the test has not been as great as it was expected and hoped it would be. at Kansas State College, where the test is given on a voluntary basis, he said, and a fee of 25 cents a test is charged, about six hundred have taken the test. Shirk was high spirits and able to see much better with the infected eye. He may be able to leave the hospital within a week. Absence from school due to the injury made it necessary for Shirk to withdraw from all his classes, but this will not make him ineligible for school. He was making close to a B average at the time of withdrawal.
