JAYHAWKS GAIN BIG SIX LEAD
CUNNINGHAM WINS HUNTER MILE BY 35-YARD MARGIN
KANSAN IS NOT MUCH EXTENDED IN BOSTON RACE
Slow Time Provides Little Information for Scouts Who Represent Bonthron For Next Race
Dean Woolsey of Boston Is Second; Glenn had Beaten Entrants Before
DAWSON NOT ENTERED
Boston, Mass., Feb. 10—(UP) - Glenn Cunningham, University of Kansas, continued to clean up on eastern indoor competition when he captured the Hunter mile event of the Boston Athletic Association games tonight before 12,000 fans.
Dean Woolsey of the Boston A. M.
former Illinois star, was second, ahead
of Carl Coan of Pennsylvania and
Frank Crowley of Manhattan. Crowley
forced the runners for the first half
mile, but thereafter Glem pushed ahead
Gleam breezed home to victory by
half a lap in 4:18.4. He was not ex-
tended.
Neither Gene Venkze, whom Cunningham defeated a week ago tonight in the Wanamaker mile of the Milwaukee athletic club games in New York in 4:12, nor Bill Bontonh, Principal star set up the outdoor world's record in the mile event last summer, were listed to take part in tonight's race.
Glenn Dawson, former university of Oklahoma middle distance runner, had previously been expected to compete in the event but did not enter.
Cunningham had defeated all of tonight's entrants previous this year in the Wanamaker mile, but won more easily tonight than before.
Although Cunningham's time was unusually slow for the event, it was believed that the Kansan purposely set a slow pace to deceive timers associated with Bonthron, Princeton miler, who are reported to have been scouting his past races. The Kansan was not forced to extend himself in winning from a field of runners whose personnel was not impressive, and his slow race may have been calculated to keep his real ability as much of a secret as is Bonthron's at the present time.
State Geologist Will Study Mountain Structure in Rockies
Moore Will Direct Survey
Assignment as director of an extensive geological survey of mountain structure in the Rocky mountain region has been received by Dr. R. C. Moore, state geologist, and head of the department of geology at the University. Dr. Moore will begin the work next summer, bringing part of his vacation period there.
The work, which is to be under the auspices of the Geological Society of America, will involve the collaboration of a number of the leading geologists of the country, and the expenditure of some $40,000.
The research, which is to be carried on largely in the Wyoming Rockies, will concern the problem of mountain glaciers and paleontology will be carried on.
About a dozen scientists will be engaged in the work after Dr. Moore has planned and organized the investigation.
This assignment is in addition to one for which the Geological Society of America gave Dr. Moore a grant to investigate the rocks and fossils in the Pennsylvanian formation in Kansas and adjoining states. This is a field in which Dr. Moore has been specializing
Dr. K. K. Landes, assistant state geologist, will spend a short time in Eastern Canada next summer investigating pigmatite deposits, also under a grant from the national geological organization.

Additional Tryouts Offered
students to Be Given Chance for Comedy Parts Monday
The extra tryout was made necessary because a number of students were confused as to the location of the previous tryout. Only those applying for speaking parts are asked to come at this time. Anyone wishing a place in the women's chorus should call Virginia Sterling or Ruth Pyle, the directors of the dancers, and arrange for an interview.
Additional tryouts for the Hilarities of 1834, W.S.G.A. musical comedy, will be held in Central Administration audium Monday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30.

SEVENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY
TO BE CLEARED BY BAKER
Baker university, under the leadership of Rev. Wallace B. Fleming, will celebrate its seventy-sixth year of service in Kansas territory tomorrow night with an all-college program broadcast over WDAF. In celebrating its seventy-six years, the Kansas Methodist college has the distinction of having a continuous service record greater than any 4-year college in Kansas
CSEP Applications For Jobs Exceed University Quota
Campus Work of All Kinds to Be Given Students to Provide College Funds
Approximately 350 persons met in the Central Administration auditorium Friday afternoon to apply for employment provided under the recently inaugurated College Student Employment Project which is under the direction of the Kansas Federal Relief Administration.
Many who were there hoped for the chance, which would be their last to enroll in the University; others sought employment so that they might not have to leave school. All applicants were required to sign a statement that they must have the supplementary funds indicated on the application blank in order o enter or remain in school.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley stated briefly to the assembly the plans and purposes of the project. Under the relief administration 100,000 students in the United States will be given employment. Each university's quota is to be 10 per cent of its full time enrollment, and Kansas students may receive benefit.
Minimum Wage Listed
Those persons who now have jobs must keep them and not apply at this time, the Chancellor said, in order to fulfill the purpose of the plan. The payment will range between $10 and $20 a month at a varying rate depending on the class of work done. The minimum wage will be 30 cents an hour.
Henry Werner asked how many would be interested in a meal plan which is under consideration. There was a large show of hands. This he announced, would not be a charity plan, but a cooperative proposition between cafeteria and student.

The result of this search was pleasing to the directors of the play. From the family of Georgiana Eberhard, one of the members of the cast, came a double-hearted character across the ocean in 1840 and found its way out to the western plains in 1850.
Even the newspapers were utilized for the purpose of letting the people of Lawrence know that such things were important to them, and the presentation of "Distant Drums."
Uday Shant-Kar, chief dancer in the troupe of Hindu dancers and musicians appearing at the University Auditorium tomorrow evening was described by Anna Pavlova, the world's premier danceuse, as having the most perfect male body of any dancer in the world. He at one time danced with Pavlova, and arranged one of her ballets for a New York production.
"Distant Drums," the Kansas Players production which is to begin a four-performance run tomorrow night in Fraser theater will have on its "property" list some other interesting and valuable article. For this play, director Allen Craftor was faced with the problem of securing "properties" which looked authentic and fitted the period of the play.
Shan-Kar will bring with him a troupe of fifteen persons, all of them high caste Brahmans excepting one young French woman, Simike, who has embraced the Hindu faith, and who, Shan-Kar says has a greater grasp of the Hindu dance than any Hindu girl he has known.
Genuine Antique Articles Collected For 'Properties'in 'Distant Drums'
Weird Music to Furnish Background for Dancers
They will bring with them fourteen trunks and crates containing a great assortment of Oriental musical instruments, most of which are so weird and unknown that they probably have never before been heard in Lawrence. These many instruments group themselves into three types: the stringed instruments including several kinds of futes; the wind instruments where the flute dominates; and a series of percussion instruments such as wooden drums, terra cotta drums, metal drums, small cymbals with a fixed tone, and crottes, a form of metal castemets.
Shan - Kar Accompanied by Troupe of Fifteen Persons
Knowing how quick any audience is to recognize mistakes or anachronisms in historical dramas, Crafton decided that the best and safest method was to have some member of the players room about and forage for articles, such as guns, pistols, pots, pans, shawls, and other things that might have been used by pioneers on their way into the west of the frontier days.
The dancing, like the music, is primarily an art of expression. It is a halftail and, as such, its forms and movements are all symbolical. The program notes will endeavor to clarify the sym-
The majority of these instruments employ a five tone scale in place of the eight tone scale with which we are familiar. Music a sad and miserious character.

This same family also furnished a small iron pot which was brought out to this country during the middle of the last century. This pot was loaned to the Indians by a member of the Eberhardt family, or that the Indians might cook a meal.
The red-folk forgot to return the borrowed utensil. Quite some time later the pot was found by the side of a dead fire.
It had been left behind because it had cracked. The Eberhards, needing such cooking utensils at the time, had taken them and have had it in the family since then.
Sam Erickson, another member of the cast of "Distant Drums" uses a pistol in the production which is alleged to have been once the property of "Wild Bill" Hickok, the man-killing sheriff of Abilene and points west in the early days
George Lerrigo, also acting in the play, contributed a 44 pistol which was used by his grandfather, Angus Barry, supervisor of Santa Fe railroad building out of Holton, in the '50s. There are many more interesting articles used in the forthcoming production, and the directors of the play have said that visitors backstage would be welcomed after each show.
KANSAS DEFINITELY PLACES FIRST IN CONFERENCE WHEN OKLAHOMA SUFFERS DUAL DEFEAT ON ROAD
Allen's Men Down Sooners 28 to 23 in Thrill-Packed Battle; Previously Unbeaten Leaders Drop Into Tie; Loss to Cyclone Later Forces Them Into Second Place
University of Kansas basketball team advanced to the lead of the Big Six conference, by reason of its victory over Oklahoma Friday night, followed by a further Sooner defeat last night at the hands of Iowa State. Oklahoma had a record of straight conference victories before its present northern trip, and the Iowa State team had lost five in a row.
Iowa State Wins In Close Contest Against Sooners
Missouri, by defeating Iowa State, went into a tie with Nebraska for third place, leaving Kansas State fifth and the Cyclones in sixth.
Oklahoma Loses Important Match by Score of 38-40 to Fighting Cyclones
Ames, Feb. 10—(UP)—After seeing an early land dwindle to the short end of a score in the second half, Iowa State staged a last minute rally here tonight to defeat the University of Oklahoma Sooners 40 to 38, and drop them into second place in the Big Six standings. Okahanna had lost games on two previous nights to the University of Kansas cagers who now occupy first place in the standings.
It was Iowa State's first victory in six ames this season.
The Cyclones took an early lead, running the score to 8 to 1, starting with a spurt which left the Big Six coeleders flat footed. Oklahoma recovered however, and trailed by one point 17 to 18 at the half.
Starting the second half with a rush, Oklahoma piled up a 25 to 18 lead, then attempted to ease through the remaining three minutes of play. Iowa State broke up their passling stall four times, each time scoring a field goal. A free throw added gave the locals a lead which Oklahoma failed to overcome.
LeCrone, Sooner guard, almost upset the Cyclones, however, when he scored five points in the last minute and a half.
Wegner, Iowa State sophomore center, carried off high scoring honors of the evening with seven field goals and two free throws for a total of 16 points which brought his Big Six total to 63 points, one more than Lunney, Nebraska, former leader, has made. The high total also gave him a tie with Ebbing of Kansas in the scoring averages with 10.3 points per game.
Bross, Sooner forward, got four goals and a like number of free throws to take second high honors with 12 points. Browning, Sooner guard, was next with 10 points, two more than Doty, Cycle forward, made.
The game was a rough one, a total of 24 fouls being called, 14 of them on Oklahoma. Munson, Sooner center, was forced from the game during the second half when he committed his fourth personal foul.
Both teams made good most of their free throws with Oklahoma making 12 and Iowa State 10 free throws in 15 attempts each.

Oklahoma at Normal
Ray Ebling's free throw proved the principal winning margin for the University of Kansas basketball team Friday night as the Oklahoma Sooners lost their first game of the season here 23 to 28. The victory gave the Kansans a tie for first place in the Big Six standings with the Sooners. Each team has won four games and lost one. It was the second victory in as many nights for the Jayhawks who have been playing while their coach, Dr. F. C. Allen was ill at his home with an attack of influenza. Forrest Cox, assistant coach, was in charge of the players.
Ebling scored six free throws and scorers with 14 points and take first in the Big Six scoring averages, but his performance was no less spectacular than that of his teammates Harrington and Wells whose floor play and passing sparkled. Browning, stellar Olkalaheim guard, was the outstanding Sooner and scored 10 points on five goals from the floor before he was forced from the game on fouls late in the last half.
Score Is Higher
The lead changed five times during the game, and three times during the game.
The game was faster and more exciting than the Jayhawk-Sooner meeting of the night before, and both teams scored more points. The Kansas defense weakened only in respect to Browning who was held scoreless on Thursday evening, while the Kansans, Ebling, Harrington and Kappelman added to their totals of the evening before.
Nebraska scored first on Bros' free throw, but Ebling made good four straight charity tosses, after twice being fouled by Browning, to give Kansas a lead before Harrington scored the first goal. Kansas led 6 to 1 after seven minutes of play. Main's goal, followed closely by a long shot by Bross, brought the Sooners to within one point of the Jachawkers.
Jayhawks Lead at Half
Eling dribbled in close for a setup and Harrington dropped in a side shot to add to the lead, but Browning and Munson also scored goals to cut the Kansas advantage to one point a second time. Eling's goal was only a temporary gesture as far as the lead was concerned, for Browning scored twice in rapid succession on close-in play. Munson led the first time after the opening minutes of play. Kappelman's long goal with less than a minute remaining in the half gave the Jayhawkers a 14 to 13 advantage at intermission.
Still playing a cautious passing game, the Jayhawks furnished most of the offensive during the first half of the last period, but the Sooners rallied as often as the Kansans forged ahead. Not until late in the game was the margin of either team more than two points. Wells opened the second half scoring with a free throw, but Main made a one-handed goal that tied the score. Kappelman's second goal of the game, another long shot, put Kansas ahead again temporarily, but Brownings goal, followed by a free throw by Bross on Shaffer's foul gave the Sooners a one point lead.
Many Fouls Called
Many Points Cues
At this point Ray Ebling took personal charge of the situation giving Kansas another lead on one of the most spectacular plays of the evening. Eluding LeCrone, Ebling dashed for the goal to make a one-handed set up. He was fouled by Browning on the play and make the free throw to give Kansas a two point lead. Oklahoma did
