the team, which last season was
awarded the title by the Kansas Col
legc Athletic conference, are on the
floor again. These men are Hamilton,
Schmidt, Franks and Indy. Coach T..
H. Clapp has these men training with
recruits and is confident of a winning
squad.
Captain Baker and Joe Hamilton viii
both be out of school this year. Baker
played either guard as the occasion de-
manded, and proved himself to be one
of the best all-round players in the
state. Hamilton at guard was a Won
der, and both of these men will lie
missed by Southwestern this year.
The record made by the college last
| season was remarkable. Out of the
schedule of the IA games played, only
twice were they defeated, once by Nc
Pherson and once by the College OF
Emporia. The Mcpherson game was
| later declared forfeited to Southwest
ern because of that schools playing a
J disqualified player. The defeat received
| from Emporia was later in the season
| entirely retrieved when Southwestern
defeated that school on their own court.
| During the entire season, Fred Ham
| ilton, left forward. and Willard
| Schmidt, center, played in every game
and all the time. Frank Lindley, right
! forward, and Willard Franks, right
guard, each missed but one game dur
| ing the season. Joe Hamilton, guard,
was in II games and Captain Asa
| Baker. guard, played in eight These
| six men at all times comprised the
| team. They scored an average of al
! most points to their opponents ].
Fred Hamilton made the highest record
as far as known of any basketball
player in a like number of games,
| having scored a total of 298 points in
the IA games by field goals. Franks,
playing right guard, also made an ex-
ceptional record, having scored So
| nOinfS on field goals and two ar
three games scored more points than
his opposing forward. Lindley, at
| right forward, played a phenomenal
game. He made a total number of 25s
points in Is games. Sixty-three Of
these he made on free throws. He is a
cool player and can always be relied
upon.
Schmidt. at center, throughout the
whole season played a steady and con-
sistent game. He outplayed almost
every man he was up against, and
AVERAGED two scores to his opponents
one straight through the whole season
Southwestern not only played a fasi
game but they made an average of less
fouls than their opponents. No ma
was put out of the game because o.
fouls or rough playing.
