12 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXI Jayhawkers Fight To Maintain Lead In Big Six Group Cyclones Hope to Repea Dethroning Stunt They Pulled on Oklahoma Saturday Probable Starting Lineups Kansas Iowa State Ebling Doty Shaffer Cower or Anderson Wells Wegner Harrington Holmes Kappelman Hood NUMBER 32 Referee—E. C. Quiglev, St. Marys. After a week's rest the University of Kansas Jayhawkers will return to the Big Six basketball wars tonight, seeking to retain their first place standing. The Kansans will have as foes the Iowa State College Cyclones who were able last Saturday night to defeat the traveling Oklahoma Sooners, allowing the Jayhawks to take the undisputed lead to the conference. Once before this year the Kansans and the Cyclones have met and in that meeting the Jayhawks had a 31 to 23 decision. In the light of that triumph and subsequent victories it would seem that Kansas should have little trouble with the Scoots, a State that greatly improved team when it downed the Sooners, and it is quite possible that the Cyclones will continue upsetting the dope. High Scorers Clash The game tonight will bring together the two leading scorers of the Big Six. Ebling, Kansas, has the narrow margin of one-tenth of a point over Wegner, the Iowa State center, in average score. Wegner has 63 points in six games, averaging 10.5 and Ebbing has 42 in five games, for an average of 10.6. Last week Wegner needed 17 points to overcome Ebling's lead and he came very close to completing that large task by scoring 16 points against Oklahoma. Wegner is the power behind his team's offense and will be the chief source of danger for the Jayhawks tonight. This game might well develop into a scoring duel between the two conference leaders. Load May Change Prospects for Kansas have been brightened by the reinstatement of Gordon Gray who had been declared ineligible because of an incomplete which he has since made up. Gray's return provides the Jayhawks with an experienced reserve. Against Oklahoma last week they kicked the ball back before playing to while Coach Allen was confined to his bed with influenza. CYCLONES SEEK SECOND VICTORY Nebraska meets Oklahoma tomorrow night at Norman, and if the Sooners are defeated a Kansas victory over Iowa State will increase the conference lead for the Jayhawks and make them heavier favorites for the champs. However, if Oklahoma and Iowa State win, the Sooners will go back into first place. Tenight's game will be the forty-ninth time the two teams have met on the court. The records show Kansas holding an advantage of 41 victories to 7 for the Cyclones, with a total of 1,566 points for the former and 916 for the latter. This season Kansas has lost one Big Six game and won four, while Iowa State has lost five and won one. Close Guarding Will Feature Iowa State Defense Ames, Feb. 16—Ed Doty, forward will be in the starting lineup where Iowa State tries for its second Big Sis victory with the league-leading University of Kansas at Lawrence tomorrow night. Doty's accurate ball handling and passing in the Oklahoma game, the best he had displayed during the conference season, earned him the starting position, Coach Louis Menze said yesterday. The other forward will be either Jack Cowen or Chet Anderson. Cowen's play in the Oklahoma game was satisfactory, but Coach Menze, feels that he is too frail to stand three full games in four days. He and Anderson will alternate. Waldo Wegner, tall Cylone center, whose seven field goals and two free throws in the Oklahoma game put him at the lead in Big Six scoring with 63 points, will captain the team at Kansas. Tervald Holmes and Frank Hood will start at guard, but Coach Menzel has been going over his substitutes to find added reserve strength this week. The Cycle guards will be doing double duty in the Jawhawk game.

Candidates Nominated For Journalism Award Scholarship Prize Sought by Four Sigma Delta Chi Members Nominations of candidates to receive the national Sigma Delta Chi Scholarship Award for 1384 were announced today by Prof. J. K. Kistler of the department of journalism, adviser for the local chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. Those named are: Marion Beatty, c'34, Kansas City; Kan; Arnold Frederick Kreztmann, c'34, SyLVan Grove; Maurice Smythe rice, c'34, Paola; and Lawrence Sterling, c'34, Rochester, N.Y. The award, which has been made annually since 1829, represents the highest ten percent of the graduating seniors in journalism at each university and college where there is a chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. Election to the honor comes from the national headquarters, and is based upon scholarship. For the first time since its inauguration, the list of nominees this year fails to include the name of a woman student. The award last year went to Alfreda E. Brodbeck, Margaret琴, and Fredrick W. Frailey. Miss Brodbeck and Miss Ince also were later elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Salt Plays Important Role Dr. T. G. Orr Speaks of Mineral's Use in Human Treatment "Salt has played a very important role in the development of the human race from the standpoint of war, commerce, religion, and superstition," declared Dr Thomas G. Orr, professor of surgery at the Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City, Kan., in his address on "The Romance of Common Salt" at the regular February meeting of the Kansas chapter of Sigma Xi last night. The meeting was held in the lecture room of Blake hall at 7:30. "Salt's importance in the treatment of many diseases." Dr. Orr continued, "is now being recognized, and its clinical application common knowledge in medicine. It is maintained in the body at a very constant level and is the most essential factor in controlling the water chemical balance of the human body." "If the entire ocean were dried up, it would yield no less than four and one-half million cubic miles of rock salt, or about fouteen and one-half times the bulk of the entire continent of Europe above the high water mark," he said. Dr. Or further declared that there always be a sufficient supply of salt to satisfy human needs. "To treat any disease by restoring to the body that which has been lost is the most rational type of treatment, and the medical use of salt is of this type. Withholding of salt in certain diseases in which its retention seems too great is just as rational as supplying a deficiency. Following the regular business session, refreshments were served to the members and guests. The committee on refreshments consisted of Dr. O. Stoland, chairman; Prof F. E. Kester; Prof W. C. McNown; Prof U. G. Mitchell; Prof Lalia V. Walling; Miss Cassandra Ritter; and Prof Elva Weeks. "A knowledge of the disturbed metabolism of sodium chloride serves to stimulate our interest in other inorganic compounds of the body in general and forces a realization that such constituents may be of inestimable importance in the study and treatment of disease." Bonthron at Last Will Meet Kansan In Featured Mile Sports World Waits Long Expected Race; Hope for New Record as Result The interest of the track world will be focused on the highlight of the indoor track season, Glenn Cunningham's mile race with Bill Bonton and Gene Venge, in Madison Square Garden, New York, tomorrow night. This much talked-of race, the Baxter mile, will be the event event of the Games, tickets for which have been sold out for over a week. Glenn Cunningham has swept the East triumphantly throughout the last two seasons, bowing only once to Venkze, and the East has put forward its best man, Bill Bonthron, in the hope of stopping the Kansas flash. May Smash Record The prospects of a smashed record as a result of this meeting has been the cause of much conjecture on the part of coaches, sports writers and fans all season. The great millers were scheduled to meet in the Wanmaker Mile two weeks ago but Bonthon prolonged the interest and suspense by withdrawing in the hope of gaining advantage by further training and by scouting Cunningham. Cunningham easily won the Wannamaker and the Hunter miles in his first trip East this season. He came home Monday, left again Wednesday evening at Wannamaker for morning. The long trip may be to his dickvantage in the opinion of some. Wire Good Wishes Coach H. W. Hargiss said that Glenn would try to beat the other runners and let the records take care of themselves. Bonthron pushed Lovelock of England to a new world's record in the outdoor mile last summer, at the same time setting a new American record himself, and the Kansas track coach that if Cunningham beats Bonthron the record, set by Venzke at 4:10, will be open. Cunningham will go into the event with the good wishes of both students and citizens of Lawrence for a complete victory. Jean Glahn, treasurer of the Kansas Relays club, this morning wired him at the Paramount hotel, wishing him on behalf of the club. And the following telegram was sent by Mayor W. E. Spalding, "All of Lawrence is hoping for a victory tomorrow. May deserved success be yours." Experts Conjecture Coaching experts look upon the Baxter Mile tomorrow night with a critical eye and cannot agree on the great problem facing the sporting world at present. J. P. Abramson, in the New York Herald Tribute, says that after questioning outstanding eastern track coaches, he remains at a loss to be able to predict the outcome of the race. It is the opinion of some coaches that Cunningham's experience, speed, age and "killer" instinct will lead him to a victory, while Bontonhir's last lap finish is not to be thought of lightly. Only the super-experts of foot-racing form can predict the greater runner, according to Abramson. Skilton to Present Program Seventieth Organ Vespers to Have Brass Quartet as Extra The seventieth vesper organ recital will be given Sunday afternoon at 4 in the University Auditorium by Charles Sanford Skilton, professor of organ.

Departments concerned have been notified, and it is expected that students so assigned will report at once for employment. "Although the CSEP quota has been filled, there are still applicants hoping to attend school this semester. Many persons are now on the way to Lawrence by train and motor car with positives which have been promised them already filled. This situation will have to be remedied and probably some of the applications that have been approved will now be rejected, according to Fred Ellsworth, head of student employment bureau here." Applications granted include: 173 men who were in college last semester, 69 man not in college last semester, 78 women in some college last semester, and 35 women not in college last semester.

BURGLAR TAKES $5,000 IN STOCK FROM ROWLANDS Forty-five Dozen Fountain Pens and Drawing Sets Taken by Thief Who Enters Through Roof POLICE ARE DECEIVED Man Discovered in Building Escapes After Telling Officers He Is Guard The robbers departed through the northeast basement door which is barred from the inside but which bears no lock. Sawing their way through the ceiling at the rear of the building, thieves entered Rowlands college book store at Fourteenth and Ohio streets last night, presumably between 12 and 1 o'clock, and escaped with approximately $3,000 worth of merchandise. Fountain pens and drawing sets comprised the major part of the loot. Forty-five dozen pens were taken and four or five drawing sets. A few dollars in small change and pennies were taken from the cash register, but the safe was not touched. The drawing sets were taken from a west case, but slide rules in the same case were not taken. Police Are Called R. L. Grider, associate professor of engineering drawing, who lives at 1490 Louisiana street just west of Rowlands, notified police shortly after midnight when he saw lights in the store after he had been disturbed by a considerable commotion about the store. Four officers answered the call and surrounded the book store. Upon investigating they found a man inside the store who said that he was a guard who was hired to watch the place at night. When the police questioned him further and sought admittance, he said that the building was locked and that he could not open the doors. He slept in the building regularly, he said, but that he was always locked in. Rabbery Is Discovered The officers, after further questioning departed, but failed to call C. W. Nuffer, manager of the store, to verify the man's story. Professor Grider said that he saw two of the officers come away from the building and confer in the street before the others joined them and they departed. It was then about 1 a.m., be said. When Nuffer started to open up this morning, he noticed that the basement door was open. Going on to the front door, he saw a pile of plaster on the floor toward the back of the store. He immediately called the police. When questioned this morning police admitted that they had conversed with a man inside the building and that they had been able to gain a fair estimate of his appearance. They gave the follow-up information: weight, eight; weight, 135 to 145 pounds; light hair, combed straight back; and an apparently weak voice. 3rd Exponent. The thief was well acquainted with both the interior and exterior of the building. The hole in the roof through which he entered was barely large enough to admit a small man and so situated as to make it necessary for the thief to make his entry first feet and facing the north. The composition shingles had been removed for a space slightly more than a foot square and the thief had broken through the sheeting, evidently by trumponing upon it with his foot, after sawing through it at the sides. A good deal of plaster was dislodged when the boards splintered. Footprints and marred places on a post which is situated about two feet from the opening in the roof indicated that the thief had swum himself over to the post and had slid down it. A pencil sharper which was fastened to the post was broken off when the man stepped upon it. Accomplices Suspected The theory that the robbery was not a one-man job was advanced today by neighbors who said that they had observed two cars driving back and forth before the book store late last night. One of the cars was said to be large and the other small, probably a Chevrolet. Upon one occasion, after he had parked, another man said he saw one of the cars flash its lights as it passed the book store, although the other car was not in the identity at the time. after the police had confer (Continued on page 3)
