THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KANSAS LETTER MEN GET GOLD FOOTBALLS
Tokens Bear Player's Nana and Score of Games Played
In accordance with the plan announced last fall, by the Athletic Association, gold footballs have been presented to all the letter men of the 1921 team. The footballs bear the player's name and the scores of the two games which were played on the stadium field.
The plan as given out when the *titian* field was opened, is to the effect that as long as K. U. teams remain undefended on the new field, the Athletic Association will give go-ahead to the team and trainers of the winning teams. In nearly every instance where a university has opened up an athletic field in recent years, the team as had the misfortune to lose its first game. Kansas escaped this last fall by winning free throw at Mount Vernon, thus getting through the first season undefended on the new field.
A severe test will he put to the Jay- jawker eleven fall now if it meets a Nebraska Cornhuskers. Not since 1766 has a Kansas team succeeded in featuring Nebraska on Kansas Sound. The closest they have come to taking up this long honey period of No. 12 when Sandleuf's failure to kick after a touchdown allowed the game to end in a tie, at 20 to 20.
Gold basketball have also been presented to the eight letter men of this year's squad. Besides the letter "K" and the players name, the gold bell bears the words, "Missouri Valley Champions 1922" and on the other side, "Tied Championship, 15 games won, 1 lost."
It is likely that some token, either winged foot or spiked shoe, will be thrown to the members of the track m who took part in winning the toe Valley championship in Convention Hall last month.

rst for Norman, Klain, where they
will play a two day tournament with
the Sooner tennis team on Thursday
Friday. Only two men are making
the trip, Capt. F. W. Alexander
and Captain Bilby. Both of them
won their matches at Manhattan last
week.
The Oklahoma team is *unusually* strong this year. Ben Parks, the captain of the Oklahoma team, is a veteran player and considered one of the best players in the Valley. The Monet brothers are also excellent players, having won many matches in St. Louis, Mo. and throughout Oklahoma. The games this week will probably be the hardest ones on the Kansas schedule for this year.

Clark is hoping for the best and the game will be played if any
grounds can be found.
Handbills will be send out to tomorrow announcing the final decision regarding the game. The field at Hassall, although it is, rather rough, will probably be in condition for the game. The weather will be fine and the wet weather continues. Saturday's game will be played according to schedule.
RUSSIAN PROHIBITION HAS COME TO STAY
Leaders of Communist Regime Declare Lid Will Never Be Lifted
Moscow (By Mail to United Press)
—Prohibition has transformed Russia from a country with more drunkness than any other European landmass. It is one of the advantages have proved themselves so unquestionably during the last five years that Russia will never go back to alcoholism. Nicholas Lessmann, commissioner of health, visited Moscow in an interview, with the United Press.
"The recent raising of the restrictions on sale of wines containing not more than sixteen percent alcohol does not mean abandonment of production processes," a purely temporary expedient to gain revenue to help the government tide over its present financial difficulties. Total prohibition, on the American plan, will be restored as soon as the wine industry can get along without this revenue."
Manufacture of wines and spirits for commercial purposes has not been resumed in Russia, according to the commissar. He said the government has powers to begin limiting production to begin limited production of wines and spirits, but that these products are designed only for medicinal purposes, the establishments' entire output being turned over to the Commissariat of Public
He admitted that there had beenvasion of prohibition in Russia, asinhe United States, but said that thevacations had never reached sufficientlimensions to be reckoned withseriously.
"A certain number of pessans have made home brews," he explained, "but not in sufficient quantities to permit drunkenness, as before. Nor were the home breweries numerous enough to have any noticeable influence in the habits of the community as a whole."
"In the larger cities, particularly Moscow, there has been a limited underground traffic in votka substitutes, some of which have been exceedingly dangerous One, for instance, containing a large proportion of wood alcohol and passing popularly under the name "kerosene," has often caused blindness, both temporary and permanent, to votka, but can readily be distinguished by its sweetness. Votka is not sweet.
Semakho had not heard of any instances of use of Coloree water or drug preparations as in America, remarking with a smile that the substitutes would! be harder to obtain in Russia than the real thing.
"But the number of persons able to obtain these substitutes has been negligible, compared with the numbers available from debed abstinence from strong drinks."
prohibition was originally instituted by the Czar as a war measure. The Bolshevks continued it as a permanent feature. The party discipline of the Communist party makes absence from intoxicating drinks an obligation for all members in good standing.

"Ol' Swimmin' Hole" Feature of Campus
"Hey, Skinnay, come on in, the water's fine," may not be the greeting that will welcome University students to the pleasures of real swimming in a renovated Porter's Lake, but swimming in the lake this year will be as enjoyable to students as in the days when the "o! swimmir' hole" undid on Sunday the bathing that mother had given her boy on Saturday night.
Sufficient rainfall has fallen this year to cause the stale stagland waterers of the lake to be replaced by fresh water. Perhaps the chemistry department would not answer any one question about the spillway at the north end of the lake, and they will not deny that the ground-water from the hillside 'round is not fit for a student to take his weekly plunge after a hard week of hard studying but just the same, the water shall be down to Potter's this spring.
"Say, boy, she's full and running and we'll have our o' swimming' hole right on the campus," said one enthusiastic devotee of sports aquatic when he saw what the weather was like in summer on the campus into a swimming pool.
When the weather gets a little warmer, one by one or in groups the students will flock to the banks of the river to "neath its cool, refreshing surface.
