Commenting on the playing a Presnell last night at the KU-Nebraska basketball game, Conger said that he is one of the first football players in action. Conger came from Smith Center yesterday for the game.
"Dutch" Detweiler, K. U. football letterman, who has been officiating for 10 years, says Conger's team he plays in a school team he has seen in action.

Injunction Granted
To Oust "Sit-Downers"
Strikers Await Orders
From Union
Heads
Flint, Mich., Feb. 2.—(UP) - Sit-down strikers, under court order to evacuate two Fisher Body plants by 3 p.m. tomorrow, held their posts tonight and awaited orders from union heads.
They were expected to decide whether to obey the order of Circuit Judge Paul V. Gadola, appeal to the Supreme Court of Michigan, or to deny sheriff Thomas W. Wolofok of Oklahoma City and the aid of the National Guard troops
Officials of the United Automobile Workers of America sped to union headquarters in Detroit for the night session of their "board of strategy."
Automobile strikers have "no alternative" but to carry on the clash with General Motors corporation until peace can be negotiated. John L. Lewis, head of the "rebel" committee for industrial organization, said to
Seated in the drawing room of a train that bore him to Detroit where he will take command of the strike situation, Lewis said. "Our attitude today is as it has been, that a contrivance and that a conference is violated."
Lewis said he would withhold comment on the injunction ordering sit-down strikers out of the General Motors plants in Flint, Mich., and the Detroit Martin head of the United Automobile Workers of America and other members of the "strike strategy committee" in Detroit. Afterward, it is unimaginable that any successive meetings of the strikers in Detroit Flint, and possibly Lansing.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMS
All new students are required to take these examinations. Enrollment is contingent upon taking them.
Psychological examinations for all students, except graduate students, entering the University for the first time will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, in Fraser chapel.
Free Book Exchange Appears on Campus
A free book exchange was started Monday morning in the basement of Central Administration building. Students may leave books at the exchange, listing the price wanted When and if the books are sold, the student signs the slips over to the exchange and collect their money
The W.S.G.A. has taken an interest in the venture and hopes that it may learn something of value for its promised co-operative book store.
"I'm sorry but you'll have to have the approval of the physical education adviser on that course," said the very pretty young lady assisting one of the class chairmen. She handed the card back smilantly as though she were perfectly oblivious of the fact that you had stood patiently in the class line for 20 minutes waiting for your course to be approved.
You clutch your card and take your place in line. The conversation ahead of you is mildly interesting: 'How many hours did you carry
Just in Case You Hadn't Heard— And Other Pointers
If one of your courses doesn't turn out to be the pipe that you expected, or if the professor isn't quite up to your anticipations, you may make any change in your course that can be up to a good reason. Saturday.
Enrollment Session Exasperates Reporter in Search of Education
"No (the poor man's voice almost broke), no, I didn't. I had two hours of 'A' minus."
The deadline for paying fees is Feb 10. After that day the University add 50 cents per day as an inducement to pay. When $2.50 of this inducement has accumulated the penalty jumps to $5. If the fee is still unpaid Feb 16, the delinquent student will be fined up to $40. An enforced resignation is not infrequently the result of the business office call.
"Did you get all 'A's?"
The students other than Robb who started the free book exchange are
John Piercey, c 38; Greg Hines,
c 38; Harold Garell, c 37; Richard Davis, c 37; Harlan Jennings, c 37;
Don Henry, c 29; Paul Rapport, gr;
Samuel Winer, c 37; and Samuel Suez, gr.
If you haven't enrolled yet it need not worry you, that is if you have $2.50 extra. Perennial procrastinators may enroll after Saturday by paying the small fine. If they have a good excuse for their tardiness, however, they may see the committee on expiration dates, and perhaps,赔罚 the penalty.
Others interested in the venture are Al and Carl Peters, and Joln L Hunt, secretary of the Y.M.CA.
With a patient control that comes only at moments like these you turn back and secure the required signature. It seems rather ironic that the man at the physical education desk barely glanced at your shoulder. All the time you had grabs migrains that you might not be acceptable to the physical education department. Maybe they knew about your knee that popped when you did that squat exercise, or perhaps they were aware of the liceps on your left arm was fully in inch smaller than that of the right.
Raymond Nichols of the Chancellor's office gave space permission to the founders of the free book exchange and Dean Henry Werner has allowed them to store their books in his office overnight.
This is the day, just in case you don't know, that school starts again. That deep-throated blast at 6 o'clock is the University whistle. It blows at 20 minutes before lunch just to let you know that you have 10 prep课程 minutes to get to class.
Here you are at the desk again. The girl glances on your card, they across to her tables.
"Seventeen."
"How many hours did you carry last semester?"
"I'm sorry," she croons, "but that

course in Organic Chemistry is closed now. You can still get in the 58 class at 2:30.
You strongly suspect that she realizes your religion course comes at 2:30 in the afternoon and that she's trying, now, to be downright omery.
There is, of course, nothing to do but to begin the long trek again through a veritable forest of tables, chairs, advisors, instructions and depts. It is an easy task, easy but a fool-proof schedule with what must be a fool-proof schedule; not what you wanted but, if it passed, you'd take it and be jolly-well pleased.
The line again, the lady who tries but fails to find anything wrong and then the chairman himself. He stalls, checks, re-checks, asks embarrassing questions, hems and haws and finally, with what must have been a conscience-hurting effort, he scrawls his name across the bottom of the card.
Never, since the day you got the gold star for a five-year unbroken record of Sunday school attendance, have you felt so triumphant. The rest of the enrollment fol-de-rol is pure play. By the time you get your fee card you don't mind what amount they put on it.
If anyone ever suggests that the University go on a quarterly basis necessitating three or four enrollments, it is because of the many benefits that might accrue, nothing is worth the effort of going so often through such terrify-

Jack Flemming Is Captain
Jack Flemming Is Captain
Couch Louis Menzel has been shifting the cage line-up throughout the season in an attempt to get a scoring combination, but will be up against Drake. This consisted of Flemming and Blahnik forwards, Thomson, center; an Johnson and Heileman, guards.
Captain Jack Flemming, forward and clever floor man, is the Cyclones' biggest scoring threat. It is one of the leading scourers in the league, probably the other forward post be cause of his good defensive worl and consistent scoring.
A 6-Foot 6-Inch Center
The guard positions are likely to be filled by Chuck Heilman, sophomore football end, and Maurice Johnson, who received three weeks absence caused by a sprained ankle accepted in a pre-season tilt.
Menue's choice for center position will probably be Burton Thompson, 6 foot, 6 inch center, although a smaller shape would much ability as subacute center.
Cyclone reserves likely to see action in the Kansas game are Harry Roeschla, an accurate shooting forward, Lavern Diekmann, and Robert
Kliebenstein, all first-year men.
Nebraska started to hit the basket regularly with Baker, Sorenson, Amen and Parsons banging the goal before Wellhausen made a free throw on Ehquira. At this period, mid- the first half, Nebraska had had one a 8-point lead.
Schmidt was inserted into the Jayhawk line-up and soon scored from the side of the court to bring the Kansas total to 5. Wellhausen followed with a long shot. Sarsson scored two goals in the game. Sarsson scored again before Röge could convert a free throw.

Nebraska and Kansas started the same teams at the second half that were in the starting lineup. Before four minutes of the second half had elapsed, Rogers took a beautiful pass from Noble to score a score. Praille slipped in under the basket for an another setup and Noble made a one-handed shot from near the free-throw lane to tie the score at 15-all.
Score Is Tied Again
Nebraska called time out to cool off the Kansas cagers but no sooner had play resumed than Schmidt followed with a shot to put Kansas ahead again. Sorensen tied the score again at 18 with a long shot from the side of the court. Baker put the Huskers ahead with another field goal out in front of the Jachwacker called time out to talk things over.
Praile sank two charity toes on Baker's foul to the score again after half of the second period had been played. From this point Kansas drew away. Schmidt sniffed a free toss and then cut in toward the basket to score a setup to give Kansas a 3-point lead.
