Washburn Plays Here Tonight
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1938
Icabods Will Attempt To Avenge Pre-Holiday Defeat Handed Them by Jawhackers
Somewhat heartened by the Jay-hawk loss to Drake in the Christmas vacation, the Washburn College quintet will take the floor at 7:30 tonight in Hoch auditorium in an attempt to avenge the earlier loss to the Kansas five. In the nill at Washburn the Thursday preceding vacation, the Kansans downed the Jekabos, 31 to 15.
Under the coaching of Dee Erickson, formerly of the Ottawa University coaching staff, the Washburn team has been rounding into shape, and should be prepared to give the Jayhawkers a better battle in the meeting tonight. Those players for both schools who do dot get into the first game will participate in a "B" team game immediately following the regular game. Between halves entertainment will be furnished by Jack Lupher, a student who is well-known as a juggler.
In the earlier game at Topeka, Washburn was allowed only 15 points during the entire 40 minutes, with Mackey, forward, getting 5 of them. Sanneman, substitute center replacing Brown, also showed up well for Washburn with 4 points and will likely be in the starting center position tonight. Previously, the Blue team looked ragged and showed the fact that they had not been practicing long enough for smoother form. However, with several season games since the Kansas fray, the Ichabod five will be a bit harder to subdue.
Praile handed the Washburn defense its greatest headache in the previous game with 10 points tallied to his credit from the guard position. It is likely that Erickson will have prepared a defense for tonight's game with the thought of stopping Stropella, and it will be interesting to see what success he has. Praile has been going at top speed in every game thus far, and received special notice for the fine game he turned in at Drake despite the Jayhawker loss.
Are in Better Form
Have No Regular Starters
Unlike the set-up in the past few years, Coach "Phog" Allen has no regular starting quintet. But judging from recent practice sessions, three sophomores, Don Ebling, Loren Florell, and Dick Horn, stand a fine chance of starting with Prafel and Schmidt.

Well, it's over. That mythical "clean page" has been turned over for a few unfortunate. As for us, we will just keep on with last year's. It is practically impossible to forget the preceding year, especially with those bills drafted by the SEC to pay for it next year" stuff sounds good at the time, but next year certainly comes around in a hurry.
WIRE
The perfumers must have done a rush business this season. By closing our eyes in sociology yesterday the effect was like being in a greenhouse. The perfumes (French for perfume) ranged from that $50-a-small suit to Woolworth's 10 cents a pint. You can even buy it in miniature spray-guns to use to settle the smoke and dust in a room. One experience in a theater in which the manager had dumped a bottle of Orange Blossom into the ventilator system makes us vote for the smoke.

President Reads Message On 'State of the Union' T o Congress; Attacks Monopolies
Washington, Jan. 3.—(UP)—Press President Roosevelt told Congress today that the 1938-39 budget cannot be balanced. New plans to attack monopoly and business abuses were called for, and also prompt enactment of his recovery-reform program, including a wage-hour bill
Cheers, applause and rebel yells greeted Roosevelt as he appeared in the House chamber and read his four thousand-word message on the "state of the union" which put the second regular session of the seventy-fifth Congress to work. The message was transmitted over more than three hundred radio stations to listeners in this country and abroad.
Contrary to earlier reports, which whetted interest abroad, the President devoted only nine paragraphs to world unrest. He restated this nation's desire for peace and forecast the likelihood of an expanded naval building program by warning that all peace-loving countries must be forced to live without conquestion of conquests which threaten civilization. He added that "we must keep ourselves adequately strong in self-defense."
Minimizes World Unrest
He was equally frank in discussing domestic problems. He bitterly failed a small minority of business men whom he accused of thwarting New Deal policies. He attacked monopolists. He rejected substitution of the dole for work relief, and proclaimed that there will be no retreat from New Deal objectives and principles.
Is Greeted by Applause
Reminiscent of charges made last week by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and Assistant Attorney-General Robert H. Jackson that capital is on a sit-down strike against the government to force liquidation of the New Deal, Mr. Roosevelt conceded that capital and reasonable earnings on capital are essential to democracy.
A a rour of applause went up as Mr. Roosevelt entered the chamber shortly before 1:30 p.m. Senators, congressmen and government dignitaries on crowded galleries stood and gave him a noisy ovation. There was a rattle of applause when he demanded farm legislation, when he called for a wage-hour bill, and when he whipped monopolists.
