he developed remarkably. Not only
was he big and strong, but he was
also fast and used good judgment.
My choice for the forward position,
Lowrey of w S. C. and Cox of Whit
man, have shown remarkable adapta-
bility for the game as played under
the college rules. Some players who
were stars the year before under the
A. A. U. rules failed to solve the new
style of offense, but these two took to
the dribble and it's attendant possibi-
rey is a deceptive player. He is not
only larger than he looks, but he plays
faster, stronger game than he ap-
pears to be playing. He was especi-
ally strong on scoring from short drib-
bles around the basket and shaking off
one or two men while doing it. Cox,
who is shorter and heavier than Low
rey, is lightning fast with the dribble,
demonstrating his ability in game after
game to take the bail from the center
of, the floor and score. His ability to
keep on his feet and keep moving with
the ball when blocked by an opponent
was first class.
In picking by guards I picked De
Will on account of his defensive abil-
tiles He not only took good care Of
his own men, but often was called
upon to take care of two men under
the basket, and was seldom found
wanting. He is big and husky, and is
a natural player of the defensive type.
Horton, by other guard, / chose first
because he is a good guard, and second
because he is too good man to be left
off this team. Although he played
both forward and guard during the
season he excelled at both. Paying at
guard he is a wonder at taking the
ball down on a dribble and at covering
the floor. Working with De Witt as
a lay-back guard and Horton as a
floor coverer the guard positions of
this team would be we'll taken care of.

with faster runner. He believed
that Shrek would rap a grounder.
and that there would be a chance
TO work a double play, getting the
runner coming down from first and
flashing the ball across to first in
time to head off Schreck. Figure out
the heavy chances against Jones'
combination. There was the chance
that Schreck would make safe hit,
driving in anywhere from two to three
runs; there was the chance that he
would lift a long fly, letting in one
tally; there was the chance that he
would hit so slow a grounder that
only one runner could be caught, thus
letting in a score; there was the
chance of an error on ANYTHING
Schreck might hit, and the chance
that he might draw a base on balls.

a partial equivalent in the shape of
a put-out The chance was about 1

to short, and it was transferred to

to get two runners. While the great

Immediately shifted his plan of at

handed batsman, fairly fast on foot
and Robe promptly slammed the ball
down to short-even as Schreck had
done Or the Athletics a few minutes
earlier. Cross, the Athletic short
stop, caught up the ball, and even
as he did so realized that he had nc
chance. If he threw to second, il
would be transferred to first too late
to get Robe in a double play, as the
fast German was already well-nigh al

absolutely no chance to get more thar
one runner. Cross, in despair, dashed
the ball down upon the ground ant

To Walla Walla

Walla Walla again trimmed the
Mavericks yesterday The final score
was to in favor Of the locals. a
fair crowd witnessed the game WHICH
was marked by the usual display of
enthusiasm on the part of the pris-
soners who were banked on all sides
of the diamond.
There was no doubt as to the re-
suit of the game after the first in
ming when Walla Walla landed on
Fair, making seven runs. This rather
spoiled a game that otherwise might
have been exceedingly exciting, as
Walla Walla only made two scores
after the first inning, while the Nav
ericks, who scored one in the first,
sent three others romping across the
plate during the remainder of the
contest Fair is a new man and was
easy for the locals. After Wilmering
went into the box, however, there was
little or nothing doing, as Walla Wal
la failed to solve his benders in the
remaining eight innings. In the third
lining Harmon led off with three
Dagger and crossed the plate a mo-
ment later on Segrist's single.
The Mavericks landed on Boewer so
hard in the third and fourth that he
was pulled out and Lankard substi-
tuted.

Freshmen Elect Track Captain.

The boys of the freshman class OF
Whitman college have elcted a track
captain and baseball captain for the
interclass contests. Verne Dresser,
who entered the college from the local
high school was chosen track captain.
Dresser made good record in track
athletics while in the Walla Walla
high school, winning a record in the
hurdles equal to that of Fancher Of
Spokane. Ernest Cleman, who was
elected captain of baseball, comes from
Ellensburg with a good reputation.
There are a lrge number of athletes
trying out in these sports for the
freshmen and they will undoubtedly
put up a strong contest in the inter-
class meet.

the problem of picking the men and
