S ah UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Z229 The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV Jayhawks Meet Ottawa Tonight Squad of Twenty-five To Make Trip; Favored To Repeat Victory of Last Tuesday Night A confident Jayhawk basketball squad of 25 members will go to Ottawa tonight to play a return game with Ottawa University. Kansas defeated the Braves here Tuesday night 16 to 17, and should experience no trouble in repeating the victory. Last night Coach Allen expressed himself as being dissatisfied with the performance of the team so far this year, so he will probably experiment with different combination until he finds one to suit his liking. Couch "Phog" Allen plans to start the same five that has started every game this season, Golay and Corlis at forwards, Schmidt, center, and Prale and C. Johnson, guards The entire squad is making the trip and the reserves will probably see action during a large part of the game. Ottawa, while not giving much opposition here Tuesday, may find the home court much more to its liking and could prove dangerous if it is one of those who don't miss the basket. Giving a small increase in odds to Ottawa is the fact they will have had two additional days of practice, and that means a great deal to a small school where the coach and many of the players are busy up to the Thanksgiving vacation. The game is set for 7:30 o'clock and will be played in the high school gymnasium. Following the Kansas- Ottawa game the Ottawa freshmen will play the Kansas City Jurior College team.

HAY by WIRE The students down at Kansas State are a restless bunch. They took a holiday not long ago just because they won a football game, even if they had to beat one of the professors over the head to do it. Now they have formed a "gripe session." At the first meeting of the club there were about three hundred students and teachers. That is the best part of the thing. The teachers come and the students can tell them what they think about that. Anyone can grip about anything. It sounds like a good idea anyway—a university hall session. A writer for the University of Minnesota paper has the following to say about education: "Ever since I learned in Psychology, if 2w, that dog gets ugly when they know you're afraid of them and that they can tell when you're scared, I have been having a heck of a time, because I get to thinking that they know I'm afraid by the way I'm screeling, and then I get more afraid and secrete harder, which makes them uglier which makes me more afraid, and then I get more afraid if I runs in tricks or if forehead even in the winter "That kind of learning never did anyone any good." The Big Apple dance seems to be slowly withering away. It will probably never die in the South, where it originated, because this type of dancing has long been done in certain scenes and now in another dance fad will sweep the country and the Big Apple will be just appleside. An interesting travel item appears in the June, 1894, number of "The Delineator" magazine which we have been reading. It goes as follows, quote: If one night is to be spent on the train and a change of cars is to be made early in the morning, it is wiser not to disrobe (good idea); but if the journey is to continue for two or three hours outer garments would be removed at home. After the clothing has been laid aside, the night-dress is put on, and over it a flannel gown or wrapper, which will greatly lessen the danger of catching cold, unquote. The danger of catching anything at all with that on would be very remote. Pictures and Gossip Features of Next Ow Monday morning has been appointed for the date of appearance of the Sour Owl. Along with the pictures and gossip, there will be featured articles written about objects and possibilities. The main object to be discussed will be M. Oread. In the article concerning M. Oread the author plays up definitions which are a bit different from most of the Italian words used when speaking of the Hill. The possibility that is to be discussed will include a discussion of the raising from childhood of a man by a dog. The dog runs into some rather difficult incidents in the life of a young boy and on into the life of a young man in college. Finally he gives up on his first try and acquires another youngster for "fetching up" purposes. The authors of the two articles are new to the writing staff of the magazine. The author of the definition of Mt. Oread is Walter McCroskey, c'uncel, and the author of the other article is James Brockett, c'uncel. Harry Kipke Dismissed Director of the Wolverine grid team since 1929, Kipke was ousted by unanimous vote of the board. His present contract will terminate next June. No further changes in his position have been made. Hunk Anderson, line coach, were indicated by the board, nor was there intimation of a successor to "Kip." "The announcement comes as a distinct surprise; it's all been rather sudden," Kipke commented. "I don't know exactly what I will do. I have had too many jobs and need to take job, allthough I have been approached on several occasions." Officers of the Michigan athletic board have been authorized to interview "qualified couches" so that they might be picked with minimum delay. He said he would attend the meeting of American football coaches during the Christmas holidays, hinting that he might accept a new job after conferring there with athletic directors of several colleges. The board refused to comment on its decision to remove Kipke. It was reported, however, that he had become involved in a controversy with a college official during the past season. Suggests Alfalfa For Americans New York, Dec. 9. —(UPC)—Addition of alfalfa to diet to supply needed minerals was suggested to the National Association of Manufacturers today by Dr. Victor G. Heiser, author of the best seller, "An American Doctor's Odessy." South African gold mine operators who feed their workers as well as they pay them discovered that "the leaves of alfalfa contained practically all the minerals that were desirable for that diet," he added, beijing-understanding." Dr. Heiser continued, "if here in America we couldn't employ our alfalfa if some of our chefs and dieticians and so on could prepare the alfalfa in a very palatable manner so it would be acceptable to our palates." Newest Voting Machine To Be Placed on Exhibition A voting machine of the newest type will be placed on exhibition in the Administration building next week, and demonstrated to students.

Reduce Bond Debt Refinancing of Stadium May Be Approved by Board Tonight Refinancing of the balance of stadium bonds at the University has been completed, with formal approval by the athletic board expected from its meeting tonight. Total cash of the stadium has been $650,000. After making its Dec. 1 payment, the corporation believed refinancing desirable, and accomplished it through arrangements with Topeka and Wichita bond buyers. The December payment of $12,500, plus interest of $8,250, reduced the stadium indebtedness to $137,500. Under the new plan, annual payments have been cut to $5,000, and interest from 5½ to 4⅝ per cent Refinancing charges, including premiums to present bond holders who do not trade for the new bonds, total $5,500, bringing the face value of the new bonds to $143,000. A balance of $3,000, not provide for in the 10 annual payments or $5,000, is callable at any interest payment date. The contract with the bond holders provides that an surplus above owing to interest on the principal and interest will be applied to the retirement of this $3,000 of bonds. For several years after the stadium was completed, the annual payments of $12,500 were doubled at the mid-year payment, retiring principle twice as fast as the contract called for. Athletic officials are hopeful that the total may be retired speedily but feel better satisfied that their payment payments are less than before.

From the riverfront it could not be determined whether the attacking American planes would hit allows. However, planes could be seen flying directly over the U.S. embassy compound. The Japanese warplanes were going into shrieking power dives northeast of the embassy and dropping the biggest bombs which they hit the city during the scores of raids to which they have subjected it. It seemed possible that the fate of the capital, which commanders of the 300,000 CI men, soldiers have been taken into custody, might be decided during the day. Bombs appeared to be falling in or near the embassy area in the northeast part of the walled city, where international committees attempted in vain to establish a safety zone for an estimated 100,000 Chinese civilians who refused to leave their homes when the mechanized Japanese legions swept up to the city walls. The new attack, which preceded expiration of a Japanese ultimatum demanding surrender; of the capital before noon today, followed 24 hours of sporadic activity including a series of air raids Thursday.
