Jayhawkers Are Hopeful
Football-minded Jayhawkers are hopeful but cautious before the Kansas-Oklahoma game Saturday. Asked to predict the outcome of the game, various students and faculty members commented as follows:
Dean Clark Wescoe of the School of Medicine—"Kansas will be the first team to score on Oklahoma this year. We'll score in the first quarter and go on to win the game."
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy— "Being in the position I'm in, about the only prediction I'd be prepared to make is that it will be an interesting game."
Sylvia Salb, Ottawa sophomore— "I think that Oklahoma will probably win by a score of about 25 to 7."
Paul Hansen, Wamego junior—"I feel that KU might possibly lose, but possibly by not more than one point, or perhaps, one touchdown at the most."
Forrest C. (Phog) Allen—"I'm not a good prognosticator, but my hopes are stronger than my predictions. I'm hoping that Kansas holds the ball as long as it can. We know it would be a miracle if we beat them. Therefore, I'm hoping we hold Oklahoma to a lower score than either Kansas State or the other teams that Oklahoma has murdered. If we can hold them to a lower score, it'll be a feather in Chuck Mather's cap."
Michigan Prof To Talk Today
Charles C. Fries, professor of English at the University of Michigan, will speak on "Towards an Understanding of Language," at 8 p.m. today in Fraser Theater.
The speech, which is open to the public, is part of the program for the fourth annual "Conference on Composition and Literature in High School and College" sponsored by the department of English and being held today and Saturday.
Prof. Fries is internationally recognized as an authority on American English. During World War II, he developed revolutionary and highly effective methods of teaching English as a foreign language.
He has been a pioneer in the development of scientific attitude toward English grammar and has written several books. His more important books are, "The Teaching of Literature," "The Teaching of the English Language," "American English Grammar," and "The Structure of English."
Some of Prof. Fries' critics have accused him of "killing grammar." Prof. Fries says he has labored to kill only the conventional view of it. He accepts the modern scientific view that writing is not language, but simply a method of recording language. The terms he uses are based on spoken rather than written English.
OU Mortar Board To See Game
Members of Mortar Board at the University of Oklahoma have been invited to attend the KU-Oklahoma game Saturday. They will meet with members of the KU chapter of Mortar Board at 10 a. m. in the music and browsing rooms of the Student Union.

Surgery Necessary For Chamberlain

The growth is believed not to be of a serious nature, the physician said. A specialist at the medical center in Kansas City, Kan., will perform a biopsy. It is not known how long Chamberlain will be held out of drills.
Women in the University band are to wear band uniforms Monday to have pictures taken at 4 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
