Cunningham Wins Big Eastern Race, Defeating Venzke
Jayhawker Runs Good Mild to Take Wanamaker Event by 10-Yard Margin
CRITICS LAUD KANSAN
Gleenn Cunningham, star KanaMil, miler, celebrated his first eastern inission last Saturday by winning the Glenview A. game. Raven A. A. games from Gene Venkes, world indoor mile champion, Cunningham's time for his first race in Madison Square Garden, was 4:13, a full hour longer, Venkes, who was the race last year.
Before a record crowd of 17,000 spectators, the Kansan ran a smooth race, unscoring a final drive, perfectly timed, that found the rest of the field unable to hold the pace. Vernike finished second, followed by Coan of Pennsylvania and Lermond of the N. Y. A. C.
Eric Nay, i.e. Swedish star, took the lead early in the race setting the pace for the first three games. Lermock took the lead when Ny tired, only to lose it to Venzek, who was closely followed by Cunningham. The defending champion in the race held his position until the last lap, when Cunningham started the winning spurt that gave him a 10-yard margin at the finish.
Ny Takes Early Lead
To Return to East
Ny, making his American debut and running his first mile race as well, collapsed on a turn in the sixth lap and was unable to finish.
Cunningham, who returned to Lawrence early this week to enroll for the second semester, will again invade eastern track circles later in the month. He plans to enter the Easter mile in the New York A. C. meet on Feb. 16, and the National A.A.U. 1500 meter run at New York on Feb. 25.
Victory in the Waramaker mile established the Jawahiri flash as a definite threat in the indoor mile record, and eastern sport followers are still confident that he is Vernor who last year set a world record of 4.121 in the mile mile, is expected to reach the peak of his form during the latter part of the month, as Jeunesse has said. The next meeting of the two will bring forth a record-breaking performances.
Daniel Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, added his praise to that of the Eastern crites. He said the performance when the Kansas star had not been in a track suit for ten days previous to the meet. He predicted that the Jayhawks would break the records in a few months and the end of the indoor track season.
Named for Wanamaker Cup
Cunningham is being considered for the Warmanaker cup which is given to a top-tier international performance at the Wanamaker meet. His only competition for this cup is Toppe, who upset the dash predictions by defending a great array of dash stars which included Frank Wysey, the California state star, who called the "world's fastest human."

Spring Semester Ushers in Tasks of Many Kinds
Frat Tax, Ten Cent Meals Activity Plan Among Local Unsettled Problems
GOOD SPORT OUTLOOK
When the 8:23 whistle blows tomorrow morning the curtains will rise on the spring semester of the school year 1023-23, bringing with it many unsettled problems. Enrollment will be concluded this afternoon except for the last enrolments and rn-enrolments scheduled for Saturday. There were no figures available as yet on the size of the second semester enrollment.
One of the major problems facing the fraternities is the fraternity tax which was upheld by the State Supreme Court late last month. Action over the state is expected shortly, but nothing definite as to the line of action the fraternities will take has been disclosed as yet.
New Ballot on Activity Plan
Everyone at enrollment time was confronted with a student council ballot calling for another vote on the student activity ticket. This is another unsettled problem from last semester when a student council ballot returned a majority vote in favor of the activity plan but only two-thirds of the student committee supported it. This second ballot divided the features other than the Jayhawk and Kansan into one group and required a vote on all three. The result of this ballot will not be ready until the end of the week.
Another new problem is concerned with the enrollment in that it provides a method for worthy students to remain in school by taking advantage of the ten-cent meal plan. Next Monday, we will have some assistance to remain in school and who are in an upper scholastic group, will start eating its meals at the Union Building under a co-operative plan which will reduce the cost of each meal to ten cents so that the daily meals of ten students will cost only thirty cents.
Sport Clubs There
On the sport horizon there is a brighter outlook, with Kansas' basketball entry in the Big Six setting the pace. The Jayhawks meet Missouri on Saturday and a victory in this battle will probably mean that the Jay- Hawks pick up its title if it defeats Oklahoma in the game of the season here, March 3.
Short Outlook Good
In dramatics, "Uncle Toms Cabin" will be presented again tonight and tomorrow night. The final lecture course will be next Tuesday night. Thus the opera opens with problems and pleasures much the same as other repertors.
Judge C. A. Burney, l97, Dies of Heart Diseas
Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas entry in the mile event of the Olympics, entered the Wanamaker meet in New York last Saturday and won the mile event defeating much stars as well. He wrote the Eastern sport writers "eat" their words about "substituting Venze for Cunningham in the Olympics," the cry rushed by sport writers last summer just before the Olympic games started. The eastern sports writer wrote college letters to a soccer team that was the latest test and predict that he will break the indoor mile record before the end of the season.
Played on Football Team Which Defeated Nebraska in 1895
Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 8—(UP)—Clarence A. Burney, member of the Missouri supreme court, and distinguished Kansas City judge, died unexpectedly here today. He was strenched with heart disease and died while a physician was preparing medicine for him.
Judge Burney attended the rural schools of Franklin county, Kansas; attended Lawrence University and went to Lawrence in 1893 with $5 in his pocket, a man's note for $100, 40 acres of wheat and a laundry agency from the Ottawa laundry, to obtain his law education at the University of Kansas. Football appealed to him, and became his best friend.
Three Letterman in Football
Football appealed to him, and became his chief sport. In 1853 he made the varsity team, and played half back for the football team. He played over the Nebraska eleven, 8 to 4.
Judge Burney received his law degree from the University of Kansas in 1857. He received letters in football in 1894, 1895 and 1895.
Forty Students to Use Meal Plan Starting Monday
Applications May Still Be Made to Ellsworth, Werner and Dean Husband

No addition to the staff of the cafeteria will be required.
CUT RATES AT NEBRASKA
Mr. Werner said today that applications may still be made at his office or to Fred Elworth or Dean Ham. Requirement calls for a "C awe-ward."
Linein, Neb, Feb. 8—(Special)—University of Nebraska students who eat at the college of agriculture cateraies will now be able to board for $3 a week. The plan was approved Sat. by the Regents, and is not effective.
Co-operative Plan Adopted in Ag College Cafeteria
A portion of the dining room is to be screened off where the students on the $2 rate will take their meals family style. Students who desire, will be given duties in connection with the meal (except cooking) and serving the meals.
CAN ACCOMMODATE 7
Usually it is customary to go at great length and hand cut little bouquets to various members of the cast- forgetting no one, it's a student enterprise, you know—but, this time, we are not going to do that. We feel in a misery mood and our compliments will be sparingly doled out.
The regents announced also that the cateria in the Temple building, on its 20th anniversary, would be closed later this year. The school year, due to lack of patronage.

About half a house greeted the play last night and in view of the above paragraph their names should be printed, too. Despite the fact that hands were frozen and ears frost bitten, the audience was thrilled at the advantage for the dramatization of Harriet Beecher Stowe's abolition novel was well received.
We are changing the style of this review and placing the cast of characters ahead of our impressions—which are usually more important —because they appear in the snow and ice last night for K.U. Dramatic club's presentation of "Uracle Town's Cabin" is worthy of some sort of special commendation and as attached Elfs and crossed the ice tomb, laughter for bravery if for nothing else.
sweetly and with restraint, without the usual fluffy dramatization of the average Todd show little Evan, but more like a kid's TV show. An altogether charming little setter.
Another youngster, Bobby Ellsworth played the play of Harry 'Kevin'ison and although he spoke no lines, his terror at the turn events in the play were taking seemed too real to be genuine pantomimes. Perhaps he had stage And, if he did so can tell him, besides, it was what the part required.
James Christie in the title role—that doesn't seem just right, was his name Uncle Tom's Caitlin—or rather his voice possessed the melodic and melodic quality of the darky of the old South. He played it in a different addition to Professor Crafton's recruits.
George Sheibly and Eliza, played by Eugene Hibbs and Winfred Stillwell were good examples of the stiff-legged school of acting of the 1860 era. Hibbs over-acted a bit, as did Miss Stillwell, but what's the odds?
The role of Phincess Fletcher was taken care of in a consumate manner by James Patterson — the eminent author of life under the big tops—who handled the transitions of the part in great style slipping from the Quaker thee and thy to Ohio farmer vernacular in such a way as to afford great amusement to the audience. Patterson afforded one bit of unconscionable pride to him, who raised his hands in prayer thereby disclosing his wrist watch.
Roll Nuckles as St. Clare was effective although we lost sight of his various speeches in marveling at the variety of hirate adornment with which he had made up. His hair was black, his sideburns brown, and his mountaineer beige colored. We kept wondering that freak would have been on poor old St. Clare. In our opinion, this is the best job of acting Nuckles has done for many a moon—perhaps, he belongs in the stiff-legged school, or perhaps it
wes the lace that influenced us. Nevertheless, a good hand for the Mrs Nuckley' s lace.
William Stone played the part of the horse-whipping villian, William Legon, and Mr. Stone took care of his assignment in a capable way, despite the fact that he came when, after Marks shot him, he staggered a step or two and "shot" (this brought down the house, but one cannot blame Mr. Stone for the script.
Marcela Bitter at Topsy and Frank Annelberg at Pumcite Gute did everything in their power to transport the audience back to Robinson gymnasium on the stage unless they are adagio dancers—and they don't care much—and we would have been better disposed to Ritter and Annelberg
Leaving the theater last night, we overheard someone remark that University audiences are appreciative of Professor Crafton's efforts to revive an old time play each year. The companion of the maker of "The show Uncle Teen's Cabin" had been buried too long and should be left interred. Be that as it may. See the play and then make your own remarks.
School Appropriations
Senate Committee Seeks to Know What Salary Reductions Are Possible
Topcala, Feb. 8 — (UP) — Executives of state educational institutions were scheduled to appear before the senate ways and means committee tonight for questioning regarding possible reductions of salaries. Four members of the state board of regents appeared before the committee last night and conceded certain salary reductions affecting citation; but gave the committee no estimate as to what reductions would be recommended.
The Miller bill fee will be withheld from consideration until all committee members can be present, Miller said. Miller's bill scales down educational institution salaries from 1 to 4 per week. The bill would allow Tangonioke said he could count on a majority of but one for passage if all members are present.
Salaries should be revised individually and not on a blank percentage basis, the reagents implied. A committee member said the educational institutions' appropriations bill would not be ready before early next week.

Students Nipped by Cold Blasts of Oread; Trains Delay Some
DOZEN EARS FROZEN
These tales of how dad walked five miles through wind and snow to the little red school house will hold sight interest for University students, who have recently run up against the real article themselves.
In fact, some undergraduates are said to have feared scorpiony about that cold wave experienced at Valley Forge. Others assert that even Admiral Byrd and Admiral Randall had felt the concealing bliss of the sable-toward wind which hated between the Memorial Union and Dyre Museum yesterday and today. Twelve students received treatment for frozen cars at the Warkton Memorial Hospital in New York, who developed the hospital for information regarding fruit-bitten cars.
