Will Rogers Plans Speech at Kansas for Student Fund
Cowboy Humorist, in Telegram, Announces Intention of Keeping Promise
Will Rogers, well known humorist and motion picture star, will speak at the University this year for student benefit some time before next June. Rogers specified in accepting the invitation to speak at Kansas that receipts from his lecture be donated to the student loan fund. In a telegram read to Mr. Rogers, the cowboy humorist assured the Chancellor that he had not forgotten a promise made some time ago to appear on the Kansas campus.
Rogers' unofficial title seems to be "ambassador of good will." Although a humorist at heart, Rogers' quips at men in the public eye, as well as his common sense philosophy, have made him drawing card on the American platform.
Rogers was previously scheduled to appear at the University at the opening of the lecture series about six years ago. However, when his friend, Fred Stone, was injured in an airplane wreck Rogers went to New York to fill Stone's stage engagements. After several post-mentions of his appearance that year the lecture bureau found that Rogers would be unable to speak in Lawrence, and paid a default penalty to the University.
Will Rogers started on his stage career by appearing in a "Follies" production. He was an instantaneous hit with New Yorkers and has "hob-nobbed with fame ever since."
At the present time, Rogers is in Hollywood working on another screen play. Due to engagements in California, he will be unable to date for his appearance in Lawrence.
When the Claremont, Okla., humorist steps on the stage at the Auditorium, it will mark his first appearance at the University, although he spoke several years ago to the Kansas State students at Manhattan. He has made several lecture tours over the country.
Allen Answers Comments
University Unable to Play Haskell Under Big Six Uses
Commenting on a story published in Kansas City paper this morning to the effect that Haskell would like to play football with the University of Kansas Dr. F, C. Allen, director of athletics at the University, today said:
"The University of Kansas would like to play Haskell, and has had most happy athletic relations with that institution but can not under rules of the Big Six conference and the North Central association of Colleges and Secondary schools.
"For several years the North Central association has ruled that colleges may not compete in athletics out of their academic class. In other words, teams must compete in athletics; they may not compete with a team from a junior college. Haskell is a junior college.
"Until last year, the Big Six had classified Haskell in a separate group, and thus permitted Big Six competition, including baseball, track, and football between Kansas and Haskell, and baseball between Kansas State and Haskell.
"Last year, when Missouri sought permission to play the Indian school at Chilacco, Okla., the Big Six denied the request. Missouri then raised the question of Haskell's standing, and the conference ruled that no member of the Big Six could compete with Haskell."

Paul Harris Sees Impending Crises for Many Nations
Convocation Speaker Says World Economic Conference Not a Failure
Several world crises are now imminent, Paul Harris explained yesterday morning at the all-University conference. "Unless Japan can conquer the U.S., we will have a short time, she will have a setting sum of her limited resources," he said.
Contrary to the widely accepted opinion that China has suffered greatly from the invasion of Japan, Mr. Harris asserted that it was a positive good. "China is relieved of the necessity of policing Manchuria and she no longer has to worry about Communism on the Western borders," he continued. "The people are at last beginning to unite behind their leaders in an attempt to extricate themselves from the invaders."
NUMBER 28
"England is realizing that a one-party government cannot survive. Her forthcoming election will be watched with great interest because of the balance of power in Europe. South America has an island child which important economic and governmental problems are being solved for the nations."
Speaking of the World Economic conference Mr. Harris said: "It is not marking time as so many people believe. In fact, it is making definite progress. It has achieved two important things for the United States. First, a silver agreement has been reached by which the buying power of the Far East will be raised. Second, 21 nations have agreed for the first time on a world plan for marketing wheat. The wheat agreement is of great significance to Kansas because she raises 13 per cent of all wheat produced.
A new realization of the importance of international affairs is arising among the peoples of the earth, Mr. Trump and his power lies in the hands of the voters.
J. C. "Mac" McCanes led the University band in his new pep song, "Play Ball," at the opening of convoction. The first official playing of the march will be at the Kansas-Aggie game, Saturday afternoon.
"WAR IS NOT INEVITABLE"
Nation Must Co-operate to Build for Greater World Unity
"The greatest menace to the international design for living is war," declared Paul Harris, Jr., director of the National Council for the Prevention of War, in speaking before 150 members of the Why Club last night in central Administration auditorium. "The fate of war is not inevitable, but we must think and hold war at bay," he concluded.
The speaker declared that there is confusion between the nations. He said that Hitler is uniting Germany, Stalin is unifying Russia, and Roosevelt is gaining order here in the United States. Nations, through strong national life, may co-operate to build for greater world unity or "nationhood."
"In thinking of this design of living," continued Mr. Harris, "we must think of each nation as a part of a large mechanism. We must develop greater loyalty for the larger life of the planet. We will have no peace until we have stopped war. The plan to be effective must include all nations, solve problems continuously, and be flexible in operation."
Tom Ryan, c'33, chairman of the meeting, announced that Raymond Bragg of Russia will speak on "Eyes and Ears on Russia," before the Forum Luncheon club Thursday noon at the Cafeteria. Mr. Bragg has been acting as a guide for tourists in Russia for the past four summers.
GERMANY BROKE NO TREATY
Paul Harris, Jr. Says Other Nations Violated Their Agreements
"German youth has broken no treaty," said Paul Harris, Jr. at the Noon Luncheon Forum yesterday, "the other nations have broken their treaties. Can you blame the youth of Germany for wondering?
"Germany has suffered from a series of terrible blows in the last 15 years; first, the World War, then, in rapid succession, defeat, the Versailles Treaty, the burden of war debts, civil revolutions, inflation, and now, the depression. There are children of 15 and 18 who have never seen their fathers draw a week's pay. The poverty is worse than we can possibly imagine."

Kansas Regulars Back at Practice for Wildcat Tilt
Stiff Workouts Include End Running Formations, Punting and Ball Returning
Reserves Scrimmage Frosh
Coach Ad Lindsey's Kansas Jayhawkers went in a stiff round of limbering-up exercises, end-run formations, putting and blocking last night in preparation for their meeting with the Kansas State Wildcats in Memorial Stadium here next Saturday afternoon. No scrimmage was in order for the regulars last night, but the first string reserves and the freshmen worked out briefly against each other. The Kansas mentor spent a long time on a drill for the ends and back, white line coach, Mike Getto, was teaching the regular forwards some new methods of blocking out linemen and sending them through a brief dummy practice.
The Kansas regulars learned a few Aggie plays last night by lining up against the freshmen who demonstrated some of the various formations the Wildcats may use this week-end. Most of the evening's workout, however, was confined to fast running plays and pass drills.
The varsity reserves had a short scrimmage session with Freshmen coach, "Frosty" Cox's who were using Aggie plays and were effective in smearing the yearlings except on the defense. The team completed. Freshmen backs run back punts in an earlier drill under the supervision of Dr. F. C. Allen.
Coach Lindsey again stressed pass defense and pass formations. The Kansas State team is expected to pass frequently, Saturday, with Stoner, their sophomore back, leading the attack, if Graham and Russel find it impossible to make substantial gains on running plays. The Aggie team has gained considerable yardage this year, against Nebraska and Missouri, on passes, and the Jayhawkers find pass defense their weakest spot.
Aggies Will Be Tough
A statement issued by Coach "Boe" McMillan to the Associated press, yesterday, declared that the Manhattan team will come to Lawrence well prepared to put up a tough fight. Coach McMillan in praising the Nebraska team that defeated the Aggies, 9 to 0, Saturday, said that the Husker ended were especially good but that he would not trade his backfield for that of Nebraska. He picked Kansas to win Saturday's game here, he said, not in spite of their defeat at Tulsa last Saturday but because of it.
The Kansans hold an advantage in the scoring between the two teams for the last four years, but statistics show that the Kansas State team is always harder to defeat in Lawrence than in Manhattan.
Couch Lindsey indicated yesterday that he would hold a long practice session.
The K. U. band drilled in the stadium last night in preparation for its part in the Dad's Day football program Saturday.
FRESHMAN DERATE YTOUTS
