The little fellers will argue **their hearts'** content at inter-class baseball games to be played during the afternoon, and go to the defense at a basketball at a hallway to be held in the Memorial Union ballroom that night.
There'll be a hot time in the old town Tuesday—it's Law School Day. That's the day the law school tiddies, succumbing to the ill-laden刹es blowing across east campus and yielding to the invitation of the lil' birds who warble from the trees behind Green hall, will forget the musty toms which any day may be seen clustering the stairways of that ancient edifice of learning and go out to gambol glee-full in the fields with the rest of nature's creatures.
Sometime during the evening's festivities, which will begin at 6:30, Judge Orie L. Phillips, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, from Denver, Colo., will speak to them, but the law school boys say they don't care. They expect to enjoy Judge Phillips' talk. Besides, think of all the old palesis from the alumni who will be back to absorb the happy spirits of the day.

War Admiral Wins Blue Grass Classic
Yeah man, Tuesday will be a gala day for all devotees of nature and Uncle Jimmy Green.
Louisville, Ky., May 8—(UP)—A horse named War Admiral was saddled twice at Churchill Downs today.
"Kansas is far more lovely than I expected—it is like the loveliest English country," said Mrs. John Gibbie - Smith, young artist from Yorkshire, England, after she had explored the Campus this weekend.
The first time they slung a tiny patch of leather on his back, hoisted a gnome of a man on his shoulders. He wiped his ears, and sent him to win.

And so they saddled him again, this time with the blanket of American Beauty roses that has gone to the winner of the Kentucky Derby since Aristides won the first one 'way back in Civil War Days.
Mrs. Gibbs-Smith, after eating at one of the student "hang-outs," decided that American university students have a little freer and less stressful life than the British, whom she characterized as "a little more prim."
No stable boy saddled him the Continued on page 3
"Super film-story people" was the comment of Mrs. Gibbs-Smith on the students, who said she were the gayest, most cheerful and most independent people she had seen in America. She remarked upon the romantic habit of students walking in twos. The women she described as all being very well turned out, and carefree looking.
"After seeing films of American university life, I had no idea a campus could have such a beautiful setting," exclaimed Mrs. Gibbala. "My students have imagined in spite of the dandelions," she added laughingly.
Mrs. Gibbs-Smith, who has travelled extensively in other countries, was particularly impressed with American "coffee, stockings, and bacon and tomato and sandwiches" on her
bus trip to the Indian country.
Nebraska Beats Kansas In Triangular
Kansas State Third
As Eight Records Are
Broken and One Is
Equalled
Nebraska edged out the Kansas Jayhawkers for first place yesterday in the triangular meet at Manhattan, scoring 63 points to 56 for the state. Records were third with 43 points. Eight records were broken and one was tied.
Kansas broke three of the old marks and tied the record in the 100-yard dash. Nebraska also broke two of Kansas State broke two of the marks.
Francis Sets New Mark
The record breakers for Kansas were Richardson, who turned in the fast time of 20.9 seconds for a new record in the 220, and 9.8 sec' s to tie the 100-yard mark; Noble, who broke the record of 13 feet in the pole vault by $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches; and Shannon, who leaped 6 feet $ \frac{2}{2} $ inches to put into discard the old record of 6 feet 1 inch.
Kansas State's records came in the 440 yard dash with Jesson taking the honor in 48.8 seconds, and in the 500-yard dash a time of 3 minutes, 21.8 seconds.
Francis, Nebraska weight man,
accounted for two new marks.
Minus his track pantis (which were
misplaced) he put the shot out 52
feet. 11 inches. This is the best mark
Francis has made in competition in
the United States. In the disc
throw, this Olympic team member
came from 139 feet to 148 feet,
11 inches on his last throw to take first
place away from Fanning of Kansas
State whose throw of 144 feet,
9 inches was over the old triangular
record.
Cardwell took the other record for Nebraska, naked out Wiles, of Kansas in the low hurdles. The team exceptionally fast, at 23.4 seconds.
Cardwell High Point Man
Cardwell High Point Man
Cardwell was high in the individual scoring with firsts in both hurdles and the broad jump of 15 points. Francis and Richardson were next with 10 points each.
Not only did the meet provide many new records, but it also gave the nearly three thousand spectators a thrilling afternoon with the closeness of the competition. The mile relay was perhaps the most exciting race of the afternoon with Jesson of Kansas State leading Richardson to the tape by a mere three or four yards after the Kansas sprinter had picked up several yards.
Wiles is Defeated
The two-mile was also another close race. The first four men finished within 10 yards of each other. Klann of Kansas took the on the seventh lap to be only barely twice as well and Matteron of Nobraska.
In the low hurdles, Cardwell reversed the sheets on Wiles by a matter of fur yards. Lest week
