It soci that the intramural department, a. smooth functioning office, has built up IntereHt hlRher than the proverbial kite, Every fan who belongs to a fraternity in the running, looks first for the intramural summaries and then at. the major sports, ami that's a fart. Already on iport h been completed, another will b over tonight, and a third started this week. Football came to an end several weeks ago as Sigma Nu topped the Sig Ep. The finals of water polo, one of the tough est sports In the realm, will be played tonight between the Slg Alph's and the Sigma Nu's. Volley ball Is in Its early stages. The exculpation for the lack of publicity is juvenile, but true. The water polo games are played, as are volley ball ami basketball ami the poor freshle who is responsi blc for compounding- the disserta tions on the sports, sometimes cannot afford to desert his Caesar or math long- enough to cover and then write them all in one night. With good intentions to write the story the next day, the reporter comes to the office and starts to write. Then some superior reporter tells him it is old news and he quits. The above is explanation one. Explanation two Includes the final completion of the story. It then goes to the Journal, where this sheet is printed. The sports page is made up nt approximately 2 a. m, in the morning and the news editor responsible thinks only of that soft and luclous feather i bed at home. With this in mind, type is tossed into the forms and it. seems to be the fate of intra mural stories just not to make the grade in that last minute flurry. Caging is underway and the Husker court Mally looks profes sional. The cagcrs are decked out in little red riding hood hues. With specially designed panties and shirts made for durability not beauty. Along with these drill uni forms the bask-ol-lites give a cer tain environment around the coli seum that makes one think the Huskers mean business this year. A full staff of cage coaches in cluding W. H. Browne, Adolph Lrwandnwski, Charles Armstrong, and Wilbur Knight tutor the aspirants. By means of a central power unit carried on the carriage of the big bass drum, the entire band of 00 pieces is lighted up with neon and bulb lights for night marching. Brock, Dodd Make Berths On Mythical Second String Team. Klmer Oohrman, Fred Shlrey and Johnny Howell earned berths on the annual Intercollegiate Writ ers' All-Big Six football team. Charley Brock and Jack Dodd ranked on the second squad while Paul Amen, Bob Mehrlng, Low ell English and Ted Doyle re ceived honor able mention, Fred Shlrey and Tete Smith, the latter of Oklahoma, each received 30 votes to lead team aspirants. minis were awarded on the basis of 5 for KuiiMHM Slnlp Approve Commercial Broalcal The Knnsas Stale College ath letic council recently approved the plan of permitting commercial companies to broadcast Kaggle home football games for a small fee, However, the council reserved the right to fix the number and length of commercials to be used during the course of the contests.

Israel who, thru their writings In the old Testament, laid a founda tion for the building of a moral, social order. Paraphrasing a line from the film, "F.mile Zola," he said, "Israel has been a moment in the conscience of each era of mankind." "Why," he asked, "have the Hittltes, the Babylonians, the Cale donlans, the Persians and the Greeks become only memories, while tiny Israel alone has sur vived to become one of the most enigmatic facts of human his tory?"' Israel lived because It pro duced great prophets. While other nations passed from periods of growth and maturity to decay and extinction, Israel produced pre phets who brought about a moral restoration and rejuvenation of the people and thus were able to sur vlve many periods of decline and seeming disintegration. Preferring to deal with the psychological rather than the metaphysical aspects of prophecy, Shusterman described the main tvpea of prophets and their methods of influencing the race. "The early propheis characterized by Moses and Samuel were purely mechanical. They thought of God as external to man and acted merely at Instruments of the state in conveying to the people what had been revealed to them as the word of God. Spokesmen of Truth. "The later prophets were not ln struments of the state but spokes men of the truth aa they saw It. They were advocate! of self denial and sounded the first moral note Into Jewish prophecy. In this group were both false prophets and true prophet. The former were opportunists or "success prophets." Their philosophies were one-aided, for they told the kings what they wished to know regard less of moral Implications. "The true prophets, on the other hand, preached the doctrine that 'God will bring destruction not only on our enemies but also on us for our Immorality and dishonesty. They advocated that the Israelites foraake the clvlllxed life of Pale stine and return to the simpler, pastoral type of existence. The prophecies of Amos, Isaiah, and Jeremiah made Immense moral contributions to human life. Sacha Guitry, French Star, Leads Life of Sensations (Continued from Page 1.) There the great French actor put his son on the stage almost as soon as he could talk. Racha's rise was not meteoric. He attended 12 schools and was considered back ward in all of them. "At his last school, the master wanted to ex pel him, but could not because the 17 year old bov had not been at home or at school for five years." A few hours before his first Im portant part in a play (one pro duced by his father) Sacha became interested In reading a new play and let the time slip by. His cos tume required time to be put on; but the time was gone. Losing his wig, he rushed onto the stage out of breath, in half costume and with his helmet dropping down over his eyes and ears, just In time to be greeted by Helen, "Here comes my beautiful Paris." Actors, au dience and all burst Into laughter, His father was furious and a quar rel followed. Laughed Off Stages. Sacha then took his own separate way, leaving his father. Overanxi ous to please he failed miserably and was laughed off the Parisian and continental stages. He coun tered with a stage hit when he was 20 and slowly climbed up the rungs of success. He married the famous actress Yvonne Printemps and with her as his leading lady he played triumphantly between 1919 and 1932. Then came the di- vorce. At present Sacha's leading lady, who does not play In "Pas teur," Is Jacquilina Delubac. his "lovely, dark haired" third wife. In 1918 his 13 year quarrel with his father was patched up and at last he believed he had found an actor capable of incarnating such a character as Pasteur his father. The Idea of writing the play hafl been haunting him for two years and when It was at last possible he sat down and wrote It. an act a day. In five days. It is this play, which was a great success with his father in the ttile role, that Sacha Guitry Is sending to Amer ica In film form. Blum Praises Ability. About the great actor-producer-playwrlght Leon Blum says In the Theater Arts Monthly: "Nothing contralns him. But his audacity is tranquil, and never admits of chal lenge. He has aplomb, but not In solence. He Is never frightened, never halted by the subject which he broaches, by the types he per cleves, by the words that come spontaneously to his mind... and it Is thanks to this unconsciousness of difficulty or danger that his freedom Is never affected or cyn ical. Nothing is rarer than such a gift, not only In a playwright, but in any artist. . .He has gone as far a It Is possible to go, because he is a man who follows his subject just as far as it chooses to carry him." Fifty-two year old world fa mous Sacha Guitry, writer, pro ducer and actor la the man who takes the part of Pasteur In the film which he wrote and which he produced. It Is this picture that the French department Is sponsor ing Deo. 11 at the Varsity theater. The picture contains subtitles In English to help the beginning French student and the person who does not speak French. '. Johnston Snipes Scoops With Doomed Squad Story (Continued from Page 1.) barracks where 150 doomed Chi nese soldiers were holding out. Covering retreat of the Chinese from that area, they Had been trapped In the warehouse practic ally In the British defense sector on Chapel border. Curfew at Ten-Thirty. "We have really not been in any grave danger at any time," Snipes wrote his fraternity brothers Oct 31, via China Clipper, "because we always stay Inside when any Chinese planes fly in to bomb the Japanese warships In the Whnng- poo. We don't trust the Japanese any more than the Chinese, tbo, ns both arc rotten marksmen." He told of curfew ringing nt 10:30 every night as a signal for rooftop and garden cabarets to close down, of watching air raids and cannonading from the glass windowed walls of the Park hotel bar, and standing on the verandah of the Country club to see Japa nese fliers dive down on Nantao and drop their load of "eggs." Escape from Death. Later letters relate the sUndy advance of the Japanese troc ps, firing upon British. Tommies guarding the settlement, the blast ing of the Catbav hotel by stray shells, the fall of Nantno, Describ ing the fall of Nantao, Snipes tolls of careening thru cobblestoned streets Into the danger zone, of following a Twentieth Century Kox newsreel man down backnl leys past crowds of beggars and refugees, thru a hole ploughed in a brick wall. He saw the fighting from the sidelines, behind a sand bag; barricade. It was when he was climbing to the top of a watet tower to join other reporters there that machine gun fire was turned on the tower and his newshawk friend killed. Elsewhere in his letters. Snipes recounts a 36 hour stretch at the cable desk, a night spent in jail for violating the curfew laws, and the meeting of such journalistic celebrities as Knickerbocker and Collier's Jim Marshall. America Too Often Duped. "I read with cynical amusement that Japanese and Russian troops have clashed on the Manchoukuan border and that Italy has recalled her ambassador at Paris," Snipes concludes a letter to his fraternity brothers in Lincoln. "It appears that the whole world has gone beserk. 'If it is within the power of any of you to do just a little to keep our country out of war which will bring us neither glory nor profit, for all that is precious to you, do It. America has been the goat In this sort of scrap too ofter.." University Mat Tourney Set for 4 0'Clock in Coliseum.
