won 4-9-48 against Kansas State, and was
challenged by Oklahoma State, was
taking 10.62 this last Saturday to
finish first in the Iowa State-Nebraska
championship.
Kansas a placed third in the two-mile team race competition this year with three races, two and two lost. The second place was held at 28 to 27, was by the narrowest possible margin, and this was the only race of the season to be settled by so close a score.
Iowa State finished first, with victories in all five of its races, although Cunningham of Kansas finished first in the SEC, and Carroll — the fastest time in any of the conference races this season. Cunningham was a good half-tip in the lead in the game.
Oklahoma host all its races, the one-to Iowa State by the very one-sided score of 15 to 40.
Following is the final standing of the teams:

Armament Koenig's Topic at Student Peace Meeting R.O.T.C. Major and Topeka Professor to Present
Topcka, Kan., (Special)-Two-dimensional views of the world disarmament problem will be presented at the statewide student disarmament conference on March 21 and 22, by 6.phy. W.A. Iwain of Washburn College and Major W. C. Koenig, of the University of Kansas, Irwin, will discuss the attaining of world peace through disarmament, while Major Koenig, professor of military science and tactics at the University of Oklahoma, will secure world peace. Although the two speakers are supporting opposite views, the discussion will not be a formal debate. Student representatives will speak as and as many high schools, will attend.
Graduate of Naval Academy
Koenig was graduated from the University of Utah in 1904, and was commissioned second lieutenant C. A. C., in the United States Army July 12, 1909, and has served continually since that time. During the World War II he was a commanding officer and general Colonel. At present, he holds the permanent grade of Major, C. A. C. United States army, and is commanded by the officers Training Corps to the University.
Koenig was a schoolmate of Admiral Richard Bryd at Annapolis. He spent from 1918 to 1924 in Europe on duty for the British Army, believing fully in peace, and the maintenance of only sufficient military and naval forces to provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare of his domestic tranquility, "koenig said."
Was in Medical Corps
Ivorn, born in Ireland, went to Canada in 1908, where he entered McGill university in Montreal in 1912. He graduated from University of Queensland at years Queen's university in Kingston, Ont. At the outbreak of the war, Ivorn enlisted in the medical corp of the Canadian army, and was a sergeant by the end of the war; he was discharged on July 12, 1919.

Cabinet to Settle Vacation Question at Meeting Today
Interest High on Campus Concerning Decision; Several Gone Already
COMPLICATIONS ENTER
Whether students of the University will be able to go home a half to a whole day earlier won being discussed with Mrs. Haugen's cabinet at 4 a short afternoon.
If the cabinet follows the practice of 1927 and 1930, years of the last triumphs of Joadyhawker teams over Misia deserted Wednesday morning. In view of the particular stress being placed on economy this year owing to a reduced income, it will probably will be the maximum to be allowed by the cabinet. Most of the University's expenses in salaries and benefits are paid gratuitously if the length of the holiday.
Interest in the decision on this question was high on the campus today, as students were keenly poised "in the know" and the Daily Kanan being besieged with telephone calls by students wishing to be certain their college would be in need of repair, in their suitcases.
In 1925, when "Story" Walla's dropkick in the last minute of play gave the game a whirlwind, Tiger and his suited Tigers, vacation started on Tuesday night, instead of the regularly scheduled time. He last of full-day rewards for high pitt shown during football game, basketball.
Another complication enters into the decision this year in the Shakepearean plays scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and that may require an adjustment to the English department. The fear that students who might otherwise attend the plays would prefer an extra half or full day at home and jeopardize the enterprise may influence the cabins.
Student opinion, however, seems to be reflected in the Men's Student Council resolution passed at the last meeting in which a reward for good spirit is presented. The football team by the grouting of an extra half-holiday is favored.
Regardless of the decision reached today, prospects are that the trek of students homeward for their first vacation this fall will begin tomorrow. Seems expected to have gone home already on the strength of past callin decisions.
