Drama of the Dressing Room Between Halves Is One Thrill the Fans Miss
A brilliantly attained band bangs on martial music as it marches down the gridiron. In the stands, hawkers heir wares. "Cigars, cigarettes, candy. Get those great big, double-topped California pe-c-e-nuts." Have ya-ye your program? The names and numbers are all here. Crush peanut shells, hot dog-ups, and discuss the thrilling sixty-yard run in the second quarter.
By Norman Jacobshagen
In the dressing room beneath tha stadium eleven sweeping, dirty football players reel in various positions Sleeve is clumped on benches; others on the sidelines watch the table while the trainer rubs a bruised muscle. The team doctor goes from one to the other and asks each to be "all right." A cleat serapen on the cement floor; a subdued voice comes among the reservoir who sit attentively, looking at the cement and sweat soak the atmosphere of the dressing room between halves.
For thirty minutes the boys have played at top speed. The opposing team is seven points ahead. In fifteen minutes of rest they must recuperate some of their spent energy. They must analyze the reasons for the other team outmaneuvering them. For the greater part the coach goes from front to back, individual his friend, encourages him.
"Jim, you aren't getting that tackl on play 71. He's sliding through there and stopping the play every time."
"He's playing too far outside me,
can't get him, coach."
"Bob." The coach calls the quarterback over. "Jim says the tackle is playing out. Run 61 on him. That's what that play's for. He'll draw in after a couple of times and then pull 71 on him."
"O. K." The quarterback nods
The coach moves on. "Burt."
"eve?h"
"I want you to start drifting when they come around your end instead of among them. They've been blocking you in and going wide. Fight 'em off with your hands and force them toward the sidelines. We don't care how far they run sideways, but we want them to the line of scrimage fast and nail the man with the ball. Hall''ll keep the interference bury. You ought to be swept without a gun." He moves on.
"What's the matter, Chuck? You were on your back most of the half."
"That guard's pretty tough, Coach."
"Too tough for you to handle?"
To Reorganize Radio Club
Organization Will Be Branch of Amateur Radio Relay League
The only membership requirement for the club is that one must be enrolled in the University. The club has been active on the Hill for a number of years. Most of the members of the club last year have been graduated. It is not easy to enroll a club member as an offsite student of the Amateur Radio Relay League.
A meeting of all those interested in radio will be held Thursday evening in room 115, Marvin hall, to recognize and elect officers for the KU. Radio Club. The meeting will be held at 7 o'clock.
Fred Gemmell, c'37, organizer of the club, said that there are about 25 licensed operatores on the Hill Among these operators is August McCollon, c'urial, a blind student, who is one of the older and better-known owners.
Howard V. Rose, B.S. Bus'28, is chief statistician of the Consumers Research Bureau at Nashville, Teen.
Papers on radio problems and discussions will be the business of the club's meetings.
"No, sir." Chuck tries to give the coach a confident grin. Till take care of him this half."
The coach slaps him on the back and moves to the next man. Thus he tries to correct the faults that have been cataloued in his mind during the first half. His job is to see everything and correct it. You can't correct it. Not only must he do this,
but he must use psychology in handling each player treating each one in such a way that they will be able. One may need a hawking out, another a word of encouragement. A delicate balance is required.
"All right boys, it's almost time to go back out again. They're seven points ahead we can get it back and more Chargers in charge up their plays before they can get started. Block hard on the offense and go for a quick bump leading up. Here the startline up."
The reserves stricm forward. Each hospice that he will be called for service, has to have two boys, let's get 'em. A about goes up as the boys clatter out of the dressing room. The unlucky clap the lucky on the floor there and fight, boy! Give 'em hell!

"It was dark when I got into the cab, but not dark enough that I couldn't see a machine gun lying on the floor just in front of the back seat. There were three men in the car, and the little one in the back suit seemed to be dead. He was just drunk enough to be mean. The other two were pretty sober."
Curtis Packard, c24, thus described the predicament which he found himself recently while hitch-hiking to FL Smith, Ark.
It was about 12 o'clock, and he was 70 milks from Fort Smith when the bank robbers picked him up. The leader of the gang made Mr. Packard take a drink of "grape jack" that nearly killed all of the civilians various crimes and of his ability to manipulate the other two men in his gang. He told one of the men to turn around, and he kicked him in the face when the fellow obeyed him. Packard learned later that this young man had been a member of the army and had come to high school here.
Packard finally got out of the ear without being harmed. He reached Fort Smith at 3 o'clock in the morning, 14 hours after he had left Lawrence.

Louis Untermeyer Analyzes Motives Of Reading Public
People Find More Than One Appeal in Anthony Adverse, Says Anthologist
By Lena K. Wyatt, c'35
"It is natural that we all seek to escape from the routine of life in grown-up fairy tales," he said.
A modern poet with a substantial "line" and an appreciation for puns has night disallowed why the American publisher, Mr. Lance Garri Burroughe "Tarzan," and the wild wild as pictured by Zane Gray. "Modern life is too secure," said Unternemer speaking in the United States on what "What Americans Read and Whoe."
"As children we absorbed the fancy story of the youngest son, long apprehended, who leaves home to return home with his parents. We all want to come home with pockets full of NRA flexible dollars. Romance novels, paused travel books, and deterative stories have become the pop culture of our time," said the desire "and Mr. Untermeyer."
Travel books offer the reader the luxury of pursuing head-hunters from an armchair. Richard Halliburton is a former professor of artatures. "Abybody who has done argy great traveling knows it is not glorious," declared Mr. Untermeyer. The speaker explained the popularity of the movie, and his weakness. He discovered that he identifies himself with the master-murid who tracks down the criminal and solves the problem just as the detector uncovers, also hits upon the solution.
Lists Great Novels
"There is another motivation which influences persons in their choice of reading material, a reason which is a direct antithesis to that of search for information, and the need to participate in it more fully," said Untermer. To the group which satisfies this human need belong the greatest authors of all time—Goethe, Tolkot, Beowulf, Shakespeare, and many others. In the true novel, Mr. Untermer pointed out, we encounter people more real than our friends, and who are living on a larger scale than we are. Because we identify ourselves with the characters, they become enlarged because for the time being is it theres. Mr. Untermer quoted the words of Goethe after reading a great novel, "You don't learn anything particularly--you have become some-
"The Good Earth," by Pearl Buck is placed among the great novels by the critics, because the author has taken a keen interest in people can mind—a group living on the lowest seak—and has brought them close to American people through her know-li-ness.
Predicting it as the Politicize prize for next year, Mr. Untermeier mentioned "Folks," a recent novel by Rustuck. "It has a richness and depth arising from a sympathy for people of nature." It is sort. It is triumph of naturalness.
"Anthony Advense," declared Mr. Untermeier, "has more than one appeal." The economic side, he believes, is that Anthony has to get an entire winter's reading between the covers of one book." The author, Harvey Allen, has combined in his book the two principal appeals from Anthony's novel that produce in a fairy-tale plot, remote in time and place and dealing with a series of amazing incidents, characters which are somehow real. Although Anthony is a "male Cinderella," he
Everybody Writes Poetry
Turning to poetry, Mr. Unteremeyer, who is one of the best-known of the contemporary postcs, became more perennial in his discussion. Poetry, he de-emphasizes when he says "Everybody makes it up of it, however everybody writes it at some time. It is essential in man, and was embodied in him from the rhythm of nature which surrounded him as he developed. He wrote that it was a wandering, moon-ey A curious, vague creature, with a falcoetite voice and "falcoetet" standards. This is not true in life. There may be a need for "neurotics, but the most of us do not."
"The poet takes emotions which are common to all of us and expresses them in terms of our own minds in a
