Nesmith Leaves
eteran Kansas Tackle to George Washington
Dean Nesmith, veteran University of Kansas football tackle, left late last night for Washington, D. C., where he will enroll next week in George Washington University.
The announcement of Nessmith's departure will come as a surprise to Jayhawker players and fans since his decision was made entirely without public notice.
Nesmith would have finished his varsity career with the Jayhawkers this season, having competed the two past years in the Kansas forward wall. At George Washington he will play freshman football this year and have a season of varsity competition next year.
Nesmith, whose home is in Belleville, first gained the attention of Jayhawker fans when he returned a kickoff for a touchdown against Warrenburg Teachers in his sophomore on the team.
He had developed into one of the mainstays of the Jayhawker line and had played a prominent part in the last two campaigns of the Kansas eleven. His brother, Ole, was elected honorary captain of the team last year.

Walkouts seem to be the thing for the social-minded freshmen. The Sig Alph pledges started off with the Kappa kids either way, but were scared when the girls returned to be punished for the misdemeanor they had so maliciously committed, it was reported that several students tried to walk through the windows, while Mrs. Perkins tried to chase them away. (Might have been the neighbors from the south.) The poor kids probably had their hair pulled back, and were made to hatter in cold water.
The Phi Gamma took the Chi Oia on a spice while the upperclassmen waited for the yellows to return, and 'tis said that the Sigma Chia will take the Phi Pha and Theta's on a tour or something (Better try Curbin, boys).
There now will be a brief announcement which was directed to the editor of "On the Shimmy." This postcard arrived by U.S. mail from the grand old city of Lawrence, but the writer is unknown To-wit:
"For the information of Chancellor Lindley, the deans of the several schools, their wives, members of the faculty, and others. Leo Gottfried, of Independence, taught at Carnegie Hall; Kittles, Gottlieb, although he is sure that it would be a great honor to be a member of that illustrious family." At any rate, it won a good topic for conversation at the Chancellor's reception that Saturday morning, under her advisers, or did you make of this?
Perhaps you read the terrible accident that befell Russell Benton of the Pit Dell bumbershooting team of a car. The following is Benton's own story: "I'm really not hurt at all, but it really happened. Everybody was scared to see whether a badly hurt or not."
♦ ♦ ♦
Clear the roads and blow the bugles, the event of the season both socially and athletically will take place at the freshmen football game; you will carry the torch over the path to the stadium. As the trip will take some time, we urge that you come early and stay late; bring a bag of snacks in there George, you know you can give in the best of them

Dr. Dietrich Zwicker, German exchange student here for a year's study in the University of Kansas, sat in his room at the University club last night after a lecture speed which he observed to enter almost every movement of our people. "Really," he said, "I haven't been long enough to gain true impressions of Americans and America, but I have obtained were 'marvelous.'"
Particularly indelible in Dr. Zweier's short recollections of the United States were speed and the distances to reach a destination in this country to reach a destination.

Here he plans to take political science courses, history and journalism. Two other German students came to the University of Chicago to study law and the other attending Iowa State college at Ames for chemistry.

Early Student Of University Recalls Founding of School
"I am quite at a loss as to how early to start. Shall I go back to the foundation?" she asked.
Lillian Ross Leis, an early student of the University, recalls some of the early history of the school.
Surprised to Find Horses
"In the summer of 1864 two girls of fourteen and fifteen years of age formed the habit of rising up to the roof," he said. "One morning, on our first climb to Mount Orad, we discovered the stone walls later the basement of North College.
"It was later learned that a detachment of soldiers from a company stationed in East Lawrence where now the commandant has its tenets on the north side of the Hill.
"My 'chum' suggested that we try running around on the broad surface. Imagine our surprise, when, on reaching the north-east corner, we discover covering, and as we peed through, some horses snorted at the intrusion.
"This was the first foundation of our now great and beautiful situated University, which we are proud to vanish, was first occupied by a group of cavalry horses serving in the protec-
Crowd Attends Dedication
"When, in 1868, the building as completed, in all its 'squareness and comfortableness,' our citizens were just proud of it. At the dedication, not only the chapel, but class rooms and corridors were thromged.
"It was at about this time that the Grand Duke Alexis visited the United States extending his trip West, via Union Pacific. The question was asked, "What would Lawrence do if the Duke stopped here?" A lady rejoiced, "Why don't you get it horse and bicycle and take him to Mount Oread to see the view."

BROWN BOMBER WINS BY K. O. OVER MAX BAER
Joe Louis Sends Ex-Champ to His Knee on Canvas Early in Fourth Round After Knock Downs
NEGRO IS NOT JOLTED
More Than 90,000 Crowded in the Yankee Stadium; Pay Over $1,000,000
Bv Don Huls, c'37
Joe Louis, sensational "brown bomber" from Detroit, battered his way up to the next to the last rung of the champion's lineup. He knock-out in his fight with Max Baer. Baer went to his knees for the count of ten after two minutes and five seconds of the fourth round had passed. Baer was then held by wide margins, and in the third round had Baer on the canvas twice. Baer never threatened and landed only a few blows on Lous. Louis was boxing massacre in the end but not in Baer balance with left labs.
Baer Still Clowns
Bae tried all of his tricks, scowling at times, and at other times standing erect and laughing at Louis, but Joe continued to bear down, jabbing and punching until Beer's face was a bloody mask.
In the third round, Max went down after a short exchange of punches and remained down until the count of seven. Back on his feet, Baer went down again and the count had reached eight when the bell sounded, ending the round.
Louis Delivers K.O.
At the beginning of the first round both fighters were extremely cautious, feinting and jabbing lightly. About mid-fight, they used punching hard and baring in constantly. Beer had little defense against Joe's punches and was constantly going into clinches to protect himself. He did not attempt to use his famous right once.
Baer Is Defensive
Bauer came out in the fourth round, crouching low, trying to land his famous roundhouse right, but Louis continued to climb. He was brought to his knees, to remain there until carried away by his handlers. Louis was unmarked and his face remained impassible.
The second round was more or less of a repetition of the first, with Louis driving Baer from corner to corner. Max tried his right several times but could not land effectively, and he missed completely at times.
Louis really opened up in the third round, jumping Jarer with rights and lefts to the head and body, while Max tried vanily to cover up. Buer went down hard, but Jarer still managed there until the count of seven. He got up grogly and stood there with his legs wide-spread, until Louis battered him down with another owl of blows to the head. The count reached eight, so Jarer got out of getting up when the bell sounded.
Baer Finally Down
In the fourth round Baer came out slowly, cunningly low and trying desperately to laill a telling blow on the head of a penguin in the ranks of prize fighter. Louis came in fast, pouring punches to the head and body, until Bear went to his knees for the ten-count at the end of the game. This was "Shuffljoo Jice" twenty-five appearance as a professional fighter. He has won all 25 flights, 21 of them by way of knock-outs. It was the first time that he fought off his foot in his career as a fighter.
Braddock Next
By beating Beau, Leiss has placed himself in a position to challenge the present champion, James J. Bradock. Should he fight Bradlock and win within a year, he will have gained the opportunity than any other champion in history.
The fight removed any doubt as to Louis' ability to take punishment. He evidently doesn't have to take it. Many of his opponents had been assaulted and ruggedness would carry him through, but Louis showed last night that his punch is as vicious as it is short.
The fight was staged in Yankee Stadium before some 90,000 fans who paid over a million dollars to see it. Each fighter received 30 per cent, or some 60 per cent, of the money the players received 10 per cent. Baer weighed in at 210 pounds, while
