Russians Adrift on Floe
Snow Isolates F l i e r s
On Ice Cake; Say They Are 'Safe and Secure'
Moscow, May 25—(UP)—Thirteen Russian explorers, isolated on an ice foe near the north pole by a snow storm, radioscat today that they were drifting away from the pole at the rate of one-half mile an hour.
Fierce winds whipped up the snow on the ice floe, further lowering the visibility.
It was impossible for three supply planes, poised 560 miles south at Rudolph island, to start for the polar camp.
Prof. Otto J. Schmidt, bewhiskered leader of the expedition, revealed for the first time the exact number of men in the party.
The radiocast said that the sun, which shines for six months at a time at the pole, was blotted out entirely by the snow.
"An unusual picture is presented by the 13 members together on the ice foe under an open sky listening to a government," his radio message said.
"In spite of the snow storm none is feeling cold. We continued our work here."
He said the party landed beyond the pole, but toward evening reached 57 degrees west longitude and 89.41 degrees latitude. Yesterday the ice foe had drifted to 58 west longitude and 89.7 latitude.
"Due to the absence of the sun, we are unable to make further calculations," he said. "The weather conditions are different places from reaching us."
NUMBER 161
The planes, manned by 29 men waited for a let-up in the weather to take off with their eight tons of food and equipment.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The Jayhawker baseball forces will ring down the crown on the 1937 Big Six athletic year tomorrow and Tuesday in a two game series with the Missouri Tigers at Columbia. In an earlier series at Lawrence the teams split, the Jayhawkers bring the first 5 to 4 and the Tigers come up and in the second to erase a seventh hining 7 to 1 deficit to win it 12 to 7.
By winning either of the two games at Missouri, Kansas can finish in fourth place in the conference standings, ahead of both Iowa State, last year's co-champion, and Nebraska. Taking into consideration the five year lapse of the diamond sport on Mount Oread, this would be a fairly successful showing.
The pennant-bound Tigers will be favored to win, although reports drifting in from Columbia indicate that the Jayhawker war-clubs are highly respected by the "show me" boys, who already once this year have had a chance to "see." The two Missouri hurriers who will draw starting assignments are Rabbi Larry and Charley Mason, veterans right behind. Both are curve ball artists, and they give opposing battens plenty of trouble. Mason set the second place Aggies down with a 10 to 4, one hit whitewashing' last week the day after Beer shut them out 4 to 0.
Coach Ole Nesmith will probably choose big Barney Anderson, who has a season's record of two won and three lost, to twirl for the Jayhawkers in the first game, holding Kobe Bryant, Kloppenberg, and "Lofts" Lloyd Browns serve. In the series at Manhattan, Anderson, Brass, and Klppenberg sill turned in credible performances, but due to shaky defensive work the most the Jayhawkers batted, but the two-day combat was a 14-inning tie in the afterpiece, which was called on account of darkness.
Husker Golfers Win
The Kansas golf team took third in the team play at Lincoln yesterday with a total of 624 points. Nebraska won the Big Six championship with a low score of 612. Iowa was second with 620 points.
McIntyre of Nebraska was low with 149.
Athletic Directors Set Meet Dates
At a meeting of the athletic directors of the various Big Six schools last Friday the following dates were set for 1938 conference meets: Indoor track meet, March 4 and 5 at 7 am; Band performance, March 4 and 5 at Ames; and the meeting meet to indicate the new pool at Norman, also on March 4 and 5.
The directors voted to permit track coaches to take 18 instead of 15 men to the indoor meet, and 24 instead of 22 to the outdoor meet. Except for the indoor meet on the basis of 14 men to the indoor meet and 18 to the outdoor meet.
The early fall meeting of the directors will be held in Kansas City Sept. 4 at the time of the fifth district football rules interpretation meeting Dana X. Bible, former coach and director of athletics at Nebraska and at the University of Texas, will preside for football rules meeting, as he was the fifth district representative to the rules meeting last winter.

Jayhawkers Made Eligible
SUNDAY, MAY 23, 1937
A stormy two-hour session of Big Six faculty representatives last Friday morning in Lincoln ended in the reinstatement of Bill Kayle and James Kell, Kansas tennis players, and Glenn Oatman, varsity golfer. The representatives issued a warning to all coaches and athletic directors that they must warn their athletes at the beginning of every
sport season as to what practices are forbidden by the rules.
These three men took part in the Big Six meet Friday and Saturday after their qualification.
The men were declared ineligible because of participation in outside tournaments and matches which violated certain Big Six rules.
Prof. H. E. Chandler will present commencement speeches at Jarbola tomorrow evening. Tuesday evening and Thursday evening at Edgerton.
