Lawrence, after the defeat of the strong all-star Kansas City five Thursday night, appears to be one of the possibilities for the finals and supporters of the local five believe the team will win the title. Lawrence has lost three games this year, two to the Kansas City all-stars and one to Emporia by a one-point margin.

S. A. T. C. Barracks Will Disappear Soon
Bids Now in Hands of Manager Probably Will Be
Accepted
The fate of the student army training corps barracks will be decided on Wednesday at Topeka, according to Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. The bids for the barracks have been turned in to James A. Kimball, business manager of the S. A. T. C. for this district.
There will be about three bids to be opened and acted upon tomorrow, according to Chancellor Strong. Six bids were made several months ago but they were so low that Mr. Kimbula and the other financial managers of the S. A. T. C. refused to consider them. It is not officially announced it is not there yet, now in the hands of Mr. Kimbula will receive favorable consideration.
"I can make no estimate of the amount that will be received for the old army barracks," said the Chancellor this morning. "The first bids were so low that they could not even be considered. I believe, however, that the barracks will be disposed of tomorrow."
Mr. Kimbali and perhaps representatives from the three salvaging companies are expected in Lawrence to work over the barracks and to close the deal.
Every barracks will be salvaged, according to Chancellor Strong. It was thought at first that one might be kept for engineering laboratories and one for athletic training quarters, but that is now believed to be impracticable and the last traces of the student army training corps will be removed from the University campus as soon as possible.

J. C. McCanles Resigns As Director of Band
Has Been at University Twelve Years; New Position Not Known
J. C. McCanes, who has been director of the University Band for the past twelve years, handed in his resignation to the Chancellor Saturday. Mr. McCanes has had several positions offered him from other schools and other organizations who offer more salary, but he is not sure that he will continue to follow the profession.
"When I came here twelve years ago go there no uniforms and no instruments to speak of. There was no paid leader and the band was being led by students. In the course of these twelve years I have trained over 500 men and have succeeded in getting uniforms and instruments to the value of $3,500," said Mr. McCarles today.
The resignation does not take effect until the end of this present school year, and Chancellor Strong has not considered anyone for the place.
"Mr. McCanles has done exceedingly well with the band and I regret his resignation very much; in fact, I do not know where we will get another man who will be able to do as much with the band as Mr. McCanles could," said the Chancellor in discussing a possible successor.
