ON THE SAME WAVE LENGTH

A man had just installed a radio. He tuned in, getting three stations on the same wave length. One was a minister, one was a man telling the conditions of the roads and the third was a lecturer on poultry. Here is what he got: “The Old Testament te lls us that baby chicks s houl d detour one mile south of Salina and listen to the words of the prophet Saysysy. Be careful in the selection of your eggs, and you will find hard surfaced roads on to Garden City. We find in Gen­ esis that the roads are muddy just west of the henhouse and clean straw is essential if you would save your soul. After passing through Leaven­ worth, turn north to Jericho. Three wise men bought a large sized in­ cubator on account of bad detour. The baby chicks were troubled with t he pip and a bond issue is being talked of in the Holy C ity.

KANSAS WESLEYAN TONIGHT

The Bulldogs are pitted against the Kansas Wesleyan quintet here to- night. The time is eight o'clock. These iwo teams are ancient foes which in a way gives promise of a real battle. Each team has played one conference game. The Coyotes lost theirs to Ottawa last Friday night. The comparative strength of the two teams is hard to define in terms other than their records in the past. For various reasons the two teams have not met every year but when they have the Canines were the winners. In 1933 one game was played, the score being 11 to 26 in favor of Mc­ Pherson.
