At Butler the basketball outlook is en-
couraging. Two teams have been practic-
ing in the gymnasium for the past month,
during which time several new players
have shown a thorough knowledge of the
game. The material from which to pick
the team this year is far larger and more
experienced than in any previous year. A
close rivalry which exists between several
OF the classes, especially the freshmen and
"preps," has brought a large number OF
men out In order to make the class teams.
This has aroused considerable rivalry for
positions on the first team. Each posi-
ton now is being fought for by several
candidates. The first team will not be
picked until the day before the first game,
which is with the Training School next
Saturday evening. Emmett s. Higgins is
captain Of the team. This is his third year
on the team, playing the position of for
ward or center. This year he will probably
play right forward. Although it was
thought that the loss of McGaughey would
this years team will be fully as fast as
last years. The most promising cand1-
date for McGsughey's position ~(center) is
though new at the game, is fast developing
into a steady. reliable player. Paul Murray,
without a doubt, will play left forward
He played on the team last year and is
considered the surest hal at throwing
baskets. He is fast and aggressive. For
the guards position there is the greatest
rivalry. The fight is between Butler, Blair.
McHatten, Kingsbury, Davenport, Long
and Barnett. Butler played on last years
team and Blair has had several years
practice. while the other men are prac-
tically new at the game. Some of the
other most promising candidates for the
team are Wilson, Brown, Adams, Dyer,
Dodson, Hall, Thornbury. Sinner, Whistler,
