Stock Market Finish Erases Some Losses
T
Highest Trading Volume In Four Years Makes a Perplexed But Hopeful Wall Street
6
LAWRENCE KANSAS WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1937
New York, Oct. 19.-(UP) The stock market in a driving finish to a 7,290,000-share day, came back today to erase in part severe scars that tremendous early selling had recorded to the already battered price list. Some early losses were as much as $13 a share.
The trading volume was the greatest since July 21,1933.
Thus, tonight Wall street was perplexed but hopeful that the early selling represented a climactic drive that would bring to an end a steady decline since Aug. 14 in which values have been depressed more than 25 dollars and sources of traders driven from the market by lack of funds.

A source close to President Rosevelt said at Hydie Park that the President was not considering use of his authority to close the New York stock exchange. Under the SCE act he would power to shut down security trading.
The administration's "sit tight" attitude was reaffirmed despite tremendous pressure from financial and congressional sources for relaxal of government regulation of the nation's securities markets.

The song was hardly recognizable along with the resonant ringing of the alarm clock and the wailing screams of "Tib" Carruthi (the clock hardly missed "laughed" the bacb's head).

For instance, this Marion Dresser is no slouch—she has a stiff arm like no one's profession–with only Maxine Woods chasing her she would follow through the glass plate of the gymnasium door—think what she'd do with a whole football team chasing her!

Landon Hurls Hot Criticism At Roosevelt
Former Kansas Governor Verbally Attacks F.D.R. In 'Radio Mass Meeting' Broadcast
Topeka, Oct. 19. - (UP) - Former governor A.M. Landon, comparing indefinitely President Roosevelt to a modern Julius Caesar "feeding on power" tonight called on the 17 million Republican voters who supported him last November to join in "the fight to preserve the republic."
The 1936 Republican standard bearer in an address to a "radio mass meeting" he himself called, charged the President with violating "the letter and spirit of the constitution."
He demanded that the President be deprived of some of his broad powers so that the chief executive he compelled to take action on practical and practical ones.
With a vehemence suggestive of a campaign speech, Landon criticized the President for his Supreme Court enlargement proposal, asserting that he "wasted practically the entire session of Congress of 1937 fighting to get more power for himself."
He charged that the administration "used all its mighty power" to prevent public bearings on the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Huge L, Black, in disregard of the Constitution.
He struck at Mr. Roosevelt for a letting "college sophomores" draft legislation such as the National Recovery Act, the Social Security Law and other laws that release and labor policies. In contrast he had warm praise for Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, whom he credited with the "sound insurance policy" on which New York offices are built and others are modeled.
"Mr. Roosevelt is a changed man." Landon asserted. "He is not the man who was elected in 1922."
"It is apparent that Mr. Roosevelt is going through the same process that transpired in the life of every man in history who was given too much power. Power feeds on power today, just as it did in the days of Julius Caesar, and while I feel that Mr. Roosevelt should be given even more power, I know that he has come when we must change our methods in Washington."
Landon, by making the speech, apparently used it as the medium to reassert his leadership of the Republic and to call for a replacement of his followers have inferred was being taken over by former president Herbert Hower, who has been assisting for an off-year G.O.P. conference on the party on a new set of principles.
Landon made no reference to the proposal and he is believed to be against it privately.

E F. Engel, professor of German at the University, has just received a cabalgram from the director of the summer session of the University of Berlin, notifying him of his appointment to the summer faculty there for the summer session, July 7 to Aug. 17, 1938.

Jayhawkers Get Ready For Sooners
Ends Given Workout
In Covering Punts;
Injuries Still Bother
Three Men
The Kansas Jayhawk is busy sharpening his spike this week in hopes of coming out victorious over the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday. Great stress is being laid on the players that the Kansas chances lie mainly in being able to cut-man the Oklahoma team.
Ends Get Attention
One point receiving much attention is that of getting down the field under punts. Last week against Iowa State the end and center showed some weakness there, which was lessened by height on the punts of Replogle and Divens. Monday at Michigan they were aware of their time learning to get down the field at full speed and smear the safety.
Yesterday afternoon the ends were again drilled in covering punts. The linemen were given defensive instruction, and the backs spent the first part of practice in passing and kicking. The session was topped off with a scrimmage against the freshmen.
Jayhawk hopes for this second conference victory took a slight slump in spite of a note of optimism on all sides. The reason was the failure of injuries to head on the attack of Ameneire, Shirk, and Burnette.
Amerine, prospective sophomore star, was expected out for practice yesterday, but another boil on his knee spilled his chances of getting back into the lineup for probably another week.
Wineckee Is Game Captain
Shrink, ranking Jawhawk end, is still limping through practice from the injury he re-
was clipped in the BILL Washihur g a m e. ARNOLD Burnette, another end, still is able to make much use of his knuckle
which was injured two weeks ago. Last year the end situation would have been acute, but this year, with the passing of his brother White, in addition to Shirk and Burnette, Coach Lindsey saw fit to shift Bill Arnold from an end position to the backfield, where Lindsey hopes to make use of his size
The game captain for Saturday's fray was announced yesterday. Emil Weineke, senior quarterback, whose home is in Tulsa, will capture the team in the invasion" of his home state.
The Jayhawker football team will leave for Oklahoma Friday night, Coach "Ad" Lindsay said yesterday. About thirty men will make the trip. The team will arrive in Oklahoma City Saturday morning and will make the short trip to Norman by bus.
The Ku Ki's, Jay James, and the University band will not accept the team on the journey, but all three of these organizations plan to go to the Kansas-Nebraska game.
