I. T. word-battle broadcast. Reason: Both teams had prepared negative arguments, and no one was ready to uphold the affirmative side. Result: Strauss waltzes were heard instead of the debate. -At-last-the-truth-is-out item: So that its football field would be just the right color to impress the crowd that attended the Missouri-Kansas football duel a couple of months ago, the Univer sity of Kansas dyed its field “auragreen,” using 300 gallons of coloring to make the playing field a thing of beauty— at least until the dye washed out.
